Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 106: Wrath

Chapter 106: Wrath

“What are you doing?!!! You must be joking!!!! Hey, say something!!!”

Ugh, my ears. Seriously, my ears…

“What do you mean by that!! What was that all about!!! Hey!!!”

This is bad. It might be the loudest I’ve ever heard. Miki’s shouting is so intense that my smartphone seems like it might break.

“No, that was ‘Why, of all things! Of all the people, with that woman, why did you!!!'”

This is a complete rampage. She’s not listening to anything at all.

The moment I took my smartphone from Haru, Miki’s anger was already at its peak. Furious to the max.

“No, wait, I’m just as shocked.”

“This is no time for you to be shocked! How did it come to this! It’s absurd. Too absurd! Impossible! Why you! Why are you in the drama!?”

No…

“No, it’s not like that. I’m not appearing in any drama. That, that was just a photo, and I’m not going to be in it.”

Not going to be in it. Yeah. Not going to be. Not going to be… right. Yeah. Not going to be.

I never said a word about appearing in it.

“Photo? Not appearing, you say? Don’t joke with me!!! How can you even say that when it’s obviously leading up to you having to appear! Don’t you know how the public is reacting? You know, don’t you!!! You started using social media, so you must know!!!”

Well, I do know, but…

“Why were you so close to that woman… Why! Tell me why! Didn’t I tell you! Anything but the entertainment industry, I said it was no good! And that woman of all people, as the heroine in a drama!!!”

“No, no, I have no intention of entering the entertainment industry.”

“It’s not about what you intend!!! The world won’t allow you to not enter it now! What have you done! You’ve reached a point of no return!”

“But, still… “

“There’s no ‘but’ about it! It’s not just on social media; it’s all over television too! You must have signed some contract. It couldn’t have gone this far without that! Did you sign something?”

Ah… so that’s what it meant. Ah…

“Silence means yes! You did sign it, didn’t you! Idiot Kento!!!!”

…I really am an idiot. Why did I… back then?

“What are you going to do now!!!”

No, really, am I actually going to be… in the drama?

I won’t be, right?

It can’t be… I won’t be, right?

“No… What am I going to do.”

“That’s what I’m asking you!!!”

“…”

“First of all, can you even act? Have you ever acted before? You can’t, can you!!!”

Yeah. I can’t.

“Seriously! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Unfair! Unfair! Unfair!…”

Unfair?

Wait, why did she suddenly go quiet?

What happened?

“I see. Yes. That’s it. That’s the only way.”

Hmm, I can’t quite hear, but she’s muttering something under her breath…

“Kento!!!”

“Yes?”

What’s this?

“There’s no helping it, really no helping it, so I will personally train you! Be prepared!!!”

“Train me?”

“Yes, training! I have experience in acting, you know! I’ll train thoroughly.”

“Eh?”

“I’m busy, but there’s no helping it, so I will make frequent trips back to my parents’ home! It’s not too far. I’ll give you intensive one-on-one acting lessons. Yes. There’s no other way. Be grateful! I will take on the role of the heroine for you! Fortunately, I’m well-versed in the original manga. We’ll go at it hard! Yes! Yes! Yes! That’s right. Training!”

Eh, uh, eh…

It seems her mood has improved quite a bit, but now the conversation has taken a confusing turn…

Training, huh?

And, am I really going to be in a drama?

Huh?

Really? This must be a joke, right?

Huh?

Training?
