Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 131: The Stirring Shadow (Mob)

Chapter 131: The Stirring Shadow (Mob)

Alright! I don’t really understand why, but things have unexpectedly worked out smoothly with Mamiya-kun’s cooperation.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

I thought there would be more resistance, so I had prepared various measures, but it seems all my worries were for naught. 

Yeah. For now, this is just the best!

Also, I mentioned earlier that I plan to resume my YouTuber activities, but in fact, I had already restarted them as of yesterday. Right. 

Yesterday, I posted a simple video to announce my return.

Well, um, it’s been a day, and the view count is three. 

I know. 

But strangely, there’s one comment… 

[Worst YouTuber ever. Nobody’s waiting for you, so just disappear already.]

Why are there already haters with this view count… 

“…”

I’ll track down the account later and crush it. 

I’ll rampage on Twitter or whatever. Seriously.

But, well, I’ve already got the ultimate card in my hand. 

In a few months, I will definitely make the name of the revived ‘Hello Tanaka Channel Power up’ and my own name resound across the country. 

Definitely. 

I will collaborate with ______. 

Heh, in other words, as Mamiya-kun’s right-hand man, it’s about time for me to get serious.

And the showdown is at the cultural festival… 

I can’t miss this timing. 

There’s no way I’ll let it slip by. 

The maid café is the main event, but our super main event is the time for volunteer presentations afterward. 

That’s where I’ll make my move.

“Hey, how did it go, Yorimoto?”

“Well, they accepted it for now. But are you sure this is okay?”

“Yeah, I’ll somehow persuade Mamiya-kun. So, you just focus on honing your guitar skills. You want to become a famous guitarist in the future, right? My videos will definitely make a splash. The rest is up to your talent.”

Well, Yorimoto isn’t bad-looking and he’s fairly versatile. 

I don’t know much about guitars, but he’s probably decent enough. 

For now, I’ll use him as much as I can as my right-hand man. 

He should be grateful. 

My will is Mamiya-kun’s will. Be grateful.

“Also, I get that Mamiya is the vocalist, but about this band name, ‘Hello Tanaka Band’, can’t we change it? And Tanaka, are you really okay? Your videos… don’t they have too few views?”

“Yorimoto, did you not hear Mamiya-kun’s divine singing when the three of us went to karaoke before?” 

A man blessed by the gods, that Mamiya-kun. 

What a charming voice. 

Even I, a man, was almost swept away. 

Too good… a real cheat of a human.

“No, I get that. That’s why I think we should do something about the band name and the video views. And can you really play the drums…?”

“Hey, Yorimoto, who do you think I am? Just listen to me, and everything will work out. Just follow me silently. I’ll show you a great dream.”

A really good dream, huh…

But anyway, the band name can’t be changed. 

Or rather, I won’t let it be changed. 

I’m the boss of the Hello Tanaka Channel. 

This guy wants to become famous and tries to change it to ‘Hello Yorimoto Band’. 

Who would allow that? 

Don’t be ridiculous, Yorimoto, with your audacity… 

And no, I can’t play the drums. 

Well, I’ll think about that later.

“Fine… I understand.”

For now, all that’s left is to persuade Mamiya-kun. 

This time, I’ll ask the real Mamiya-kun. It should be easier than usual… 

Hopefully. Heh, I could ask the incredibly handsome Mamiya-kun to show up, but it would be the worst if the school got identified, causing him to transfer. 

I have a mission to watch over Mamiya-kun’s future, even after graduation, forever. 

I can’t afford to be separated from him now, as his best friend. 

I’ll proceed with caution. 

I’m not a fool. 

Yeah, not a fool…

But then again, if I think about it, even the usual, plain Mamiya-kun might become famous… 

Either version of Mamiya-kun…

“Hehehehe, this is getting interesting. Good. Very good.”

“What are you laughing about by yourself again, Tanaka?”

“Hm? Well, you’ll understand eventually. For now, you can leave for today.”

Yeah, anyway, you should be completely immersed in practicing the guitar, Yorimoto. 

Also, what song should we have Mamiya-kun cover? 

Maybe something trendy from King Mnu, King Moo? 

Or, on the contrary, maybe a female singer’s song, like from that popular anime. 

Hmm, what to do. There are too many options, it’s almost confusing.

Well, I’ll think about that too. 

To make our three-person band’s video go viral at the cultural festival, we need to lay some groundwork in advance. 

In other words, increase the number of video subscribers as much as possible beforehand, starting without Mamiya-kun.

lright, let’s start executing the plan. 

Aim for a collaboration with ______ and get utterly trampled in the process.

“Hehe.”

First is…

“Hey, can I talk to you for a second, Alice-chan?”

I’ll start with her.

“Hm? W-what is it, Tanaka-kun?”

Heh, well, she’s easy to read.

“Hey, Alice-chan, did you know? Mamiya-kun is ______.”

“Eh? Mamiya-kun!?”

Hehe.

_______By the way, Yorimoto is already good at guitar. Also, Tanaka-kun has never played the drums in his life. Additionally, it’s still unclear whether Mamiya-kun will agree to be persuaded.
