I Became a Supporting Character in an N*R Manga - Chapter 200



200 – Teacher Certification

The vacation was not long.

I thought winter had already gotten closer, but when I returned to school after taking final exams and going on a trip with friends, the season was getting closer to us.

I clenched my chin as I watched Haruna go to the front of the table and receive her report card.

There was not even a slight movement on her face as she sat down in her seat and opened the report card.

It’s as if the obvious result is accepted.

Should I call him a model student?

When the bell rang, Haruna jumped up from her seat and walked towards me.

“Minsu!”

“Calm down, Haruna.”

Why do we have expectations about other people’s scores while not being interested in our own report cards?

It was extremely burdensome.

Next to her, Shiraishi confidently held up her report card.

“Look at this! “I got over 90 points in all subjects!”

“Yes. Shiraishi is amazing.”

“Oh~ Hohoho! It’s nothing like this! “It’s actually lower than usual!”

“So….”

Of course she has no malicious intent.

You may be filled with the desire to show off how good you are, but as a fellow student, you can’t help but feel intimidated.

Haruna stuck her head out and urged her with her eyes.

“Here.”

It’s lame to even say it with words.

I handed out the report card I had kept in my desk.

“Can I see it?”

“Yes. Doesn’t care.”

Haruna was like my tutor.

When Haruna opened the report card, Yuuki and Shiraishi peeked in from either side, which was a little annoying.

“Wow… !”

Haruna opened her mouth.

Why? Are you disappointed because it is so low?

“It went up a little bit compared to the last time. Amazing… !”

“It’s even higher than me….”

Yuki looked nervous, as if sensing a sense of rivalry.

No, I don’t want to compete with you….

“Minsu, you worked hard too. “This is amazing!”

“Yes… thank you. “Shiraishi.”

“What!”

My thanks didn’t contain any meaning of gratitude, but Shiraishi had an arrogant expression on his face without even thinking about it.

“Let’s keep this momentum going and work harder next year!”

Haruna shouted, hitting her desk.

I was so happy that I felt embarrassed.

“But is it possible to go to the same university as Haruna?”

“Well, that’s still a bit lacking… !”

When Yuuki asked without thinking, Haruna was embarrassed and stuttered her words.

“Well, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll be the third choice…” !”

I hurriedly retrieved her report card while stopping Haruna from lowering her own school choice.

“No, I’m really going to try! “I will work harder from now on!”

When she declared with a spirit that was unusual for me, Haruna clenched her fists and shouted.

“Yes, that’s the momentum, Minsu!”

“This is so… I can’t sit still either….”

Yuuki grumbled and lowered his head.

They all already knew that Haruna and I had decided to go to the same university.

“Huh? Yuu-kun, are you going to study too?”

“It’s a bit like that when I’m left alone. “I guess I’ll try my best starting next year.”

“Yu-kun. Not next year, but starting today. “My mindset itself was messed up.”

Are you targeting Yuuki too?

That was good news for me.

While we were talking about our careers, I glanced at Shiraishi, who had suddenly become quiet.

Has the decision been made yet?

I trusted Seo-ah.

However, no answer had yet been received from Shiraishi.

“Shiraishi.”

“Ah… yes!”

She hasn’t told us her plans for next year yet.

The promise I made with Itsuya. Her decision about him.

We didn’t know all that. No, Seo-ah and I were pretending not to notice.

“What do you plan to do after graduation, Shiraishi?”

“Ah… oh… Oh hoho… ! “I’m still thinking about it!”

If this is the response even if I ask outright, I can’t dig any further.

If she had decided to follow Itsuya abroad, she would probably have let us know by now.

Shiraishi wouldn’t make the decision to walk away from us without any warning.

So, does that mean that Shiraishi’s answer is the truth without a doubt?

I’m still thinking about it.

Shiraishi has not made a decision yet.

And the longer it got late, the more anxious I became.

“I see….”

“Yes! I am the matriarch who will lead the Shiraishi Family in the future! “Every step is important!”

At least what she said didn’t seem to be a lie.

If Shiraishi chose to leave, she would leave suddenly without even giving us a grace period to say goodbye.

That overlapped with Shiraishi when she was young, when she was distant from Yuuki and Haruna.

“Why don’t you just become a college student, Shiraishi? “How about she targets the same school as us?”

Yuki asked without thinking.

This is a question that does not take into account any circumstances or the pressure Shiraishi is under.

But that was what I wanted to say the most.

“……… ….”

“Shiraishi?”

Shiraishi became dumbfounded by Yuuki’s pointless question.

“Yu-kun. It’s Aki-chan’s career path. “It’s rude to talk so casually.”

“No, I’m not like that…” .”

Haruna made an extremely common sense point, and Yuuki took a step back in embarrassment.

And I couldn’t say anything.

“Oh, no. “I don’t mind!”

Shiraishi regained her original tension and began to chatter.

When the bell rang and the teacher came in, the students dispersed to their respective seats.

Once vacation begins, we no longer see each other as often as we do when we go to school.

I no longer had a reason or even a situation to meet Shiraishi.

I believed in Seo-ah, but time was approaching little by little. I became a little anxious.

After the vacation ceremony, I watched the students leaving the classroom.

Shiraishi will also return home in the car waiting in front of the school gate.

How can he catch her? While she couldn’t even think of such a method,

“Are you free tomorrow?”

Yuki came towards me, putting on his bag, and asked.

“Tomorrow?”

“Okay. “Of course, you want to spend time with Haruna, but I can’t allow you two to be happy alone.”

I looked at Yuuki for a moment, smiling sinisterly with her lips poking out, and then I opened my mouth and said, “Ah.”

“Now that I think about it… It did. Tomorrow….”

It was Christmas Eve.

Why did I forget that? Rather, I rarely celebrated such anniversaries, so I didn’t pay any attention to it.

“What? “You didn’t even know tomorrow was Christmas?”

“That’s right. So?”

“It was a reaction I had no idea about….”

Yuki gestured with his hand, dumbfounded.

“Shiraishi~ Haruna, come here too.”

As always a member. Yuuki smiled and looked at Haruna.

“Let’s all get together tomorrow and have a party.”

“Party?”

“Okay, you’re not going to say you can’t come, are you?”

To be honest, I didn’t plan anything like Christmas with Haruna at all.

It wasn’t even mentioned.

Put aside the question of whether it is really possible for lovers to maintain such a calm relationship.

“Ugh….”

I saw Haruna resting on her chin with a worried expression.

I really wanted to get together with everyone, but if Haruna wanted just the two of us….

“I like it. Where can we meet?”

“It doesn’t matter where it is, whether it’s my house or Haru-chan’s house.”

Yuki spoke naturally as if it was something she did every winter.

“Then go to Yuu-kun’s house.”

“What, I don’t think we’ve gathered at your house recently….”

Yuuki nodded his head and then looked at Shiraishi.

“Of course Shiraishi will come too, right?”

“Ah…… I am….”

This was the right time for Shiraishi to come out and hold a fancy dinner party at her spacious mansion, or for her eyes to shine in anticipation of some fun event.

“Shiraishi?”

“Aki-chan… What exactly happened that day?”

Looking at her hesitation, I spoke to her about her day.

“You can tell me without any pressure. “Aki-chan has a lot to do and is busier than us.”

“I… “It seems a little difficult.”

“I see… Then there’s nothing we can do.”

It happened. I would like to hear a definite answer from Shiraishi somehow.

“Then I will call Eri. Shiraishi, I’m sorry, but let’s meet next time.”

Yuuki also nodded his head in understanding without hesitation.

It was also time for me to say something, but no words of agreement came out.

“…… Shiraishi. “What happens on Christmas?”

That was a question that broke the mood.

Yuki looked this way in surprise.

“Ah… On that day, there is a party scheduled that I promised to attend a long time ago. Because it’s an important event, I can’t miss it….”

Shiraishi trailed off in embarrassment.

I answered with a deep sigh in my heart.

“I see. Then there’s nothing we can do.”

I should have said this from the beginning.

It was unbelievable for me to ask about it, it was something that had already passed.

“Then…” “I’ll go first.”

Shiraishi left the classroom at a rather fast pace, as if running away.

Even as I said hello, I couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

“Then Shiraishi will do it like that. “Let’s have fun just by ourselves!”

After raising the tension again, Yuuki went home after deciding on a time and place. If they had promised to meet tomorrow, he hurried back, saying he had to go shopping.

Shopping for groceries… I wonder if I’m going to make all the dishes myself….

I wanted to tell her that she didn’t have to do such troublesome work, but she was a woman who enjoyed working in the kitchen.

I decided not to say anything.

As I walked down the hallway, I looked out the window and saw only a cold wind blowing in the dry sky.

“Isn’t it a white Christmas?”

There was no news of snow in the weather forecast.

She took out her cell phone from her pocket and made a call.

If tomorrow is Christmas, I would like to visit at least once today.

“Yes. “I wanted to know if it was possible to visit the hospital today.”

Kotomi Yanase.

When the name was recited, a short silence followed as the nurse checked the patient list over the phone.

“…… Yes?”

When the nurse answered, I was surprised and asked back.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately called Yanase.

I was discharged from the hospital without saying anything. What on earth are you thinking?

The call connection tone continued for a long time.

“Take it… Take it quickly.”

Once you solve one problem, another problem arises… This is disgusting.

Now I just want to study.

I was staring out the window while holding on to my cell phone tightly.

I was hearing classical music with poor sound quality from somewhere.

The music was coming closer and closer.

“…… Hello.”

When Yanase answered the phone, I straightened my whole body and turned my head as if I had been struck by lightning.

“Hello. “Minsu.”

The patient, who was released two months earlier than the discharge date set by the hospital, was already at school with the title of teacher.

“…… Teacher. “There are degrees of being arbitrary.”

“But I missed Minsu.”

Yanase spread her arms wide and rushed towards me.

“Minsu!”

I quickly bent down and avoided her hug.

“Why are you avoiding me!”

She looked back at me, puffing out her cheeks, and exclaimed.

“Teacher. The character is falling apart. “Wasn’t he a kind and kind teacher to everyone at school?”

Even though it was a deserted hallway with almost no students leaving, someone could come across a female teacher known for her beauty who wanted to be hugged by a male student.

That wasn’t good for me or her.

“What do you think? “Wasn’t I your lover before you, teacher?”

“…… When.”

I asked with a straight face.

“At the hospital.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Then she also looked serious and spoke seriously.

“He said he would accept me into Minsu’s harem. “You declared it.”

“I never declared it.”

Yes, I discussed my concerns.

“So, I am also your lover.”

“No.”

When I turned my back, Yanase started following me.

“Don’t follow me.”

“You made a call! That’s why he came to visit me in person!”

“I didn’t know you escaped from the hospital!”

“Escape! “I’m discharged!”

The patient was able to change the discharge date at will.

To me, she seemed like nothing more than a patient who had escaped, but after talking with her doctor, Yanase insisted that she had escaped legally.

“Don’t lie… ! “Did you break the window and come out?”

“What does this guy think of people?”

Yanase was showing an ugly side to the point where her longed-for image would be shattered if students from her fan club ‘Angel in White’ saw her.

“I’m telling you to let go of this!”

“No!”

When she couldn’t hold on to my arm, she just hugged her waist and followed behind her, dragging her on the floor. Like a child throwing a tantrum when you don’t buy her a toy.

“Talk to me! “Hurry up and tell me you accept me!”

“I never told you!”

With this, the ‘Angel in White’ fan club was disbanded and the front page of the school newspaper read, ‘Shock! It’s not my fault even if it’s listed as ‘Yanase!’

While I was continuing my physical fight with the adult woman who was behaving like that,

“…… Manager?”

“Minsu?”

I ran into her seniors.

Member of the Athletics Department. There were Takase-senpai and Sayoko-senpai.

It had been a long time since I had seen Sayoko-senpai with her eyes wide open, but that aside.

“Now, wait a minute, Eri!”

Takase-senpai, who had turned into an axe-eyed person, quickly approached me.

She separated Yanase from me with her rough grip.

“Manager, are you okay?”

Her senior, who pulled me into her arms, glared at her.

“Teacher Yanase. “What’s going on?”

Of course, Yanase had participated in our lunch break a few times.

Was she close to senior Takase?

“I’m sorry, but I won’t forgive you if you harm the manager, even if you’re a teacher.”

No, I remembered that these two never talked much.

And the senior, perhaps misunderstanding this scene, became hostile towards Yanase and hugged me tightly.

“Hey, senior….”

“What’s going on? “I heard the voice of the woman who was scolding you just now.”

“Oh, that’s….”

I know what kind of woman Yanase is.

She realized that while at school she looked like an angel, in real life she was a lackey who couldn’t even take care of herself and only showed a dependent side.

“Ah… Miss Takase. Long time no see.”

Unlike her previous appearance, Yanase stood up straight with her hands clasped together and smiled brightly.

It was a meaningless disguise now.

“It’s been a while. “Teacher Yanase.”

“Are club activities over now? “I’m really enthusiastic.”

Yanase smiled brightly.

“That’s none of your business. “What I’m curious about is what you did to Manager just now.”

“Now, wait a minute, Eri…” .”

Sayoko tried to stop Takase, who was very sharp, but it didn’t seem to work at all.

“Ah… “It’s nothing special.”

Even in the face of such a scary senior, Yanase spoke calmly.

“Just…” “Affection?”

The seniors froze at those words.

“What… what?”

“I am Minsu’s lover.”

And I too opened my mouth wide.

As expected, this woman must have escaped.
