I’m Begging You, Please Calm Down, Riera-san
With a nod from Gregorio, the door opens.
Then, me, Riera and Gregorio enter inside.
As we are going down the hallway, I can’t help but to think that this place has a somewhat spooky atmosphere.
It doesn’t feel right at all.
There are guards around, but…
How do I describe it, they don’t look professional at all?
They all look like crooks to me.
Every now and then, the burly and muscular men chuckle ominously.
Scary!
“In this world, there are two types of people.”
Gregorio tells me so.
“…two types?”
“Yes! The special ones, and the commoners. And you are undoubtedly one of the special ones. The special ones can treat the commoners any way they please.”
Gregorio, the mayor of Lyon, is casually corrupting an innocent child with the idea of elitism.
Well, in short, the place that Gregorio wants to show me is an exclusive playground for high-ranking noble sons.
In the story, Scumtos who got influenced by Gregorio’s words, would start thinking,
‘I am special! I can do whatever I want with my power!’
He is indeed a good mayor, but he is also the worst type of human being.
And on top of that, his words are incredibly persuasive.
—I am special.
Indeed, the children from high-ranking noble families more or less have such privileges.
However, Gregorio’s persuasive way of speaking makes them feel like that they are better than anyone else.
“You are the chosen one!”
Gregorio continues.
To be honest, I’m feeling nervous.
I have been avoiding to act like a scum up until now, but this time, in order for the event to progress, I have to intentionally play the role of a spoiled brat who treats others like trash.
That’s the reason why I have given my permission to Riera to give me as much ‘Ahh~’ as she wants.
Of course, I don’t want to overdo it and act like a spoiled brat too much, because I believe that would lead me directly to the bad ending or in other words, death.
So, I want to at least give a good impression to the heroine, Iris Webern.
I want to give Iris the impression of me like,
‘Hmm? Is this boy actually a nice person?’
So, in short, it has become an incredibly troublesome situation.
“—now, this is a place that is exclusively for someone as special like you.”
I’m guided and stands in front of a room.
From the other side of the door, I can hear voices of people talking.
Probably, it’s a gathering place for foolish noble kids like me.
Ughh…
Just when I thought I have escaped from the soiree, I’m brought to a place full of foolish noble kids.
Well, let’s just get it over quickly.
I’ll quickly go through this event and continue living my peaceful mob life. A modest mob character that lives along with the background characters.
When I look to my side, I see Gregorio smiling faintly.
Perhaps Gregorio is looking down on me.
An easily influenced noble brat.
It seems like I have no choice but to go along with it.
—Riera, please.
I look at Riera, who is standing behind me.
Her cooperation is crucial for this plan.
“Ah, she is your maid, right? Don’t worry about it.”
It seems that Gregorio noticed that I’m looking at Riera.
“If there are any bad rumors about you, I’ll help squash them. As the heir of the Randall family and the mayor of Lyon, with our combined strength, there is nothing to fear. “
Gregorio says so with a smirk on his face.
“I am special…?”
I ask Gregorio so, delivering my best performance.
I’m doing my best to create my image as a foolish nobleman son who is deeply moved by Gregorio’s words.
“That’s right…! You even can do whatever you want to this maid.”
Gregorio whispers to my ear with a mischievous grin on his face.
His excitement is at its peak.
Gregorio must think he has successfully corrupted me.
“……”
However, I’m feeling quite ambivalent.
I’m supposed to act moved by Gregorio’s speech and act like a typical scummy nobleman son, saying something like,
‘I knew it, I’m special after all…!’
But I can’t help but to think just how big of a fraud he is.
When I look at Riera behind me, I noticed that she has heard Gregorio’s words saying, ‘you can do whatever you want to this maid.’ and she quietly makes a victory gesture.
“…y-yeah.”
In the end, because I got distracted by Riera—
“…I-I see. I guess I’m really special huh~”
That doesn’t sound convincing at all.
…Riera.
I’m really serious about this.
I don’t want to end up dying a tragic death.
So please, can you refrain yourself from doing victory poses in such serious atmosphere???
We are surrounded by enemies.
Moreover, there are only foolish noble sons gathered here.
I must make an effort to progress through this event as closely as the original story while also avoiding my tragic future death.
I wonder if I can really do it…
It’s ironic that person who is supposed to be my only ally here, Riera, is the one I’m most worried about…
