Chapter 378.2

Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There Is A Problem

"Strange, Hoku-chan and the others should be here, but I don't see them~."

"Oh, are Hoku-chan and Nan-chan here too?"

"Yeah, we discussed meeting and going to school together as a close-knit group."

Tamamo looked around anxiously. I see. I understand now.

"So, Sei-chan is riding on Mii-chan's back?"

"…Good morning… I'm sleepy… Goodnight~"

Sei-chan, somehow on Mii-chan's back, greeted us sleepily, resting her face on Mi-chan's shoulder. "Good morning" and "Goodnight" were the new greetings. But really, Sei-chan doesn't seem to be growing at all. Comrades, comrades.

Where Sei-chan drew the line for comrades is a secret.

"Wa-wa-wa, when did you get on Mii-sama's back? Kuh, please carry me too!"

"…Yamiyo, I can't carry anymore."

"Kuh, here, in a place like this, my growth is a hindrance!"

Yamiyo clicked her tongue in frustration at Sei-chan's words. Indeed, her height has increased, and she's even in heavy armor. A true Japanese beauty. I want to know where she bought that armor.

"Em-chaaaan! Good morning~"

With a cheerful, loud voice, Hoku-chan waved vigorously and came out from the terminal. She had Nan-chan tucked under her arm.

"Mogyu mogyu. There's a lot of food just for this facility~"

It's clear why they're late for the meetup. Nan-chan is holding a mountain of food.

"I wonder if everyone has gathered. Is Sei-chan not coming?"

"With this, all the members are here. Sena-chan is going to school with Masatoshi-kun."

I see. It's a bit disappointing, but it can't be helped. Sena must be worried about Masatoshi's combat power dropping to 20%. After all, he lost power up to level 20.

In awakened mode, Masatoshi, with a slightly modified golden thread pattern and dyed red, had used the remaining threads that had constituted his body after dying, which had been dyed red, to return to being a human. Changing the wavelength of the golden thread was truly impressive, as it befits a reincarnator.

She's one lucky person. Sena, when asked by the goddess which form she wanted him after resurrection—baby Masatoshi, beautiful Masatoshi, or a mysterious object X that would cry and scream for help… She chose… well.

"Sena-chan is also the type to be devoted to a hopeless guy."

"It seems she's working hard as the acting successor to the next head of the Royal Family now."

"What does ‘acting successor to the next head of the Royal Family' mean?"

It feels more like a takeover type than a devoted type, so whatever.

"In that case, let's depart."

"Wahahaha! Queen Takano, I apologize for the wait! By the glorious command of Houretsu-sama, Captain Sakuma of the Queen's Guard will serve as your escort!"

With a loud voice, an old man walked towards us. He wore a brand-new suit with not a single wrinkle. Behind him, soldiers clad in magic armor followed. He's Sakuma, an old man, and the former tank battalion commander hired in the imperial capital.

I wanted to ask why only one person was wearing magic armor, but I had a more important issue to prioritize.

"Queen Takano?"

"Did she here?"

"The Holy Maiden-sama!"

"Haa haa, Queen-sama~"

It seems that the people around, upon hearing Sakuma's words, noticed Mii-chan. Like zombies spotting prey, everyone turned their faces toward Mii-chan and rushed toward her simultaneously.

"Woooah! Your Majesty the Queen~!"

"Please shake hands with me!"

"Please bless this child!"

"Thanks to you, I was saved!"

With thunderous footsteps, thousands of people came running, and it was a bit intimidating. Moreover, everyone's smiling, which adds to the fear.

"Hmm! Looks like work has started early for me. Leave it to this Sakuma! Everyone, protect Queen Takano. Hey! Don't run towards me with an ice cream in your hand! Ah, it got on my brand-new magic armor! You, don't you dare playfully smear sauce on it!"

Sakuma tried to form a defensive line to prevent the rushing crowd, but people rushed in, eager to catch a glimpse of Mii-chan.

Of course, some were holding partially eaten food, so soft serve and sauce ended up smeared all over Sakum's magic armor. Well, it serves him right.

Oh well, I'll handle it.

"Tei!"

I sparkled and transformed. My hair turned platinum blonde, and with a mysterious light in my eyes, Mii-chan is here! With a dignified expression, I made a request.

"Everyone, I'm attending the entrance ceremony for high school today! So please give me some space."

"Kyaa! The rumored little girl mode!"

"Shake hands, shake hands!"

"One picture, please!"

"Miu-sama, Banzai!"

"Let's eat snacks together next time!"

"Kyaa! It's Mii-chan! Mii-chan is passing by~!"

For some reason, everyone lifted me, and with cheers and excitement, they carried me along. I got caught up in the fun, waved my hands, and smiled.

Since they'll take me to the prepared car, there shouldn't be any issues!
