Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 72.1

Chapter 72.1. Plan L!

I was reaching for king mantis but turned around toward the voice. It was a person, or rather, it was Yamiyo. Without letting her guard down, she looks at me with a dignified, holding a cool, pitch-black sword I’ve never seen before.

No matter how Yamiyo looks at her, she’s a Mii-sama, but Yamiyo has a wary look. I was relieved and relieved inside that this was going to work out. If no one had warned me, I would have been in trouble I hadn’t expected Yamiyo to come, but it was just as well.

[Frigg-oneesan]

[Okay. I’m following you now.]

I sent a thought to Frigg and immediately got the reply I wanted. Nice work, Frigg.

[Plan L. Take care of yourself, young lady.]

[Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.]

I leave the dropped items for later and turn my head to Yamiyo. The warriors and adventurers gathered in front of me. It seems that the came out greater mantis has been defeated.

“Hmph. My name is Thunder Gale.”

I answer with a muffled “Hmph,” proudly. My true identity is a secret.

“Do you think you can fool me with your pretty appearance by mending the top part of your appearance? Are you mocking me by pretending to be in a bad disguise?”

Yamiyo asks in a harsh, choking tone of voice. Adamantine-oneesan and the old Martini guys, who should have been friendly earlier, were also on their guard. All right, just like Frigg-oneesan’s plan.

“You! You’re not Lady Seina!”

Checking out the fallen king mantis, someone who looks like the captain of the warrior group comes forward and yells at me. I told you, it’s not Seina.

“Please don’t call me Mii-sama or something, okay?”

Yamiya smiles smugly. Hier eyes are like a freezing snowstorm. I’m a little scared.

“Ah~, it’s true, it’s obvious, now that you mention it.”

Adamantine-oneesan, who scratches her cheeks, convinced I am Miu, joins the conversation. She must have explained to Yamiyo that Miu was in the middle of a battle. She looks uncomfortable.

I tilt my head, but Yamiyo, not to be fooled, sharpens her eyes at me.

“I came with Mii-sama. We’re in the Teijo family’s car. Do you understand what this means?”

“Ho, what do you mean?”

I ask back, leaning my body at an angle. Mii-chan doesn’t understand, babu babu. When I asked her playfully, the great detective Yamiyo answered straight out.

“She didn’t bring such a robe her, and even if she had, I would notice that dagger and ring. I can sense the terrifying mana, so…”

“Hmm? It looks like a slightly odd dagger and a cheap ring, doesn’t it?”

To my eyes, it does look like that. The beautiful girl won’t lie. But Mii-chan’s honest reply didn’t reach Yamiyo.

“Don’t be silly! Those magic tools feel terrifyingly powerful even from a distance! If Mii-chan-sama had such magic tools, there is no way I wouldn’t notice it. Who are you? And you can’t find Mi-Sama. Where did you take him?”

It’s Yamiyo who is asking me a lot of questions. She didn’t seem to believe I was Mii-sama at all.

It was a natural consequence. If you think about it, no one would believe that I am Miu, the most adorable and beautiful girl in the world.

The reason for this is I’m in a position where I can’t obtain this powerful item, and even if I did obtain it, I couldn’t hide it. There are no item boxes or endless bags of junk in this world. I can’t hide it in a treasure box in my room.

I’m certain it will get discovered unless I use a magical tool that can hide mana. And Mii-chan can’t get a hold of it, no matter what you think.

Plus, can a 10 year old kid defeat a king mantis solo? That’s not right. And since we sometimes dive into dungeons, Yamiyo knows how good I am. She mustn’t be able to imagine that during the stampede, I’ve become masterful, out of this world dagger user.

And then there are the characters in this world who play these pranks on people. There is a clown who stirs up the scene, as only a can. And here they were coming.

“They who had no power before suddenly wield a powerful force. They have a powerful magical tool in our hands that people have never seen before, they have the same power as the saint, and yet they’re not ourselves. When they help people, do you think they’ll kidnap them instead?? They could change … their appearance, Yamiyo-sama. They’re Loki, the moody [Trickster]. The notorious mercenary magician!”

The captain mumbles thoughtfully, and then, with a huff, he utters his answer. Oh no, I was going to call myself that, but it’s just as well.

The result of excluding the impossible will always be the truth, said the great detective Holmes. So I could have come to that idea.

“Who is Loki?”

The captain nodded bitterly at Dark Night’s stern face.

“They’re a magician who has been appearing in this imperial capital for several years. They cause terror around the world and save people from suffering. They’re an unidentified magician who creates chaos, helping revolutionary forces to overthrow evil administrators or, conversely, assisting dictatorships to defeat them. The first time we saw them was 15 years ago.”

“I’ve heard of them! They’re a magician who can transform into anyone.”

Adamantine-oneesan seemed to know about the gossip since she was also a famous magician who could be their potential adversary.

“Oh, and they can use all the magic of the person he transforms into. Surprisingly, they can also draw out and handle the latent abilities of their opponents.”

He must be the mob captain in charge of the explanation. Thanks, Taicho-san. In the original story, Loki transformed into an ordinary mob magician who could use powerful magic or a swordsman of mediocre skill who became a master. The original author made Loki too strong to be able to use their latent ability.

That’s right. There is such a magician. It’s a template type of character that confuses the storyline, which is typical of the characters in s. From the mysterious old woman who helps the main character to the magician who likes to create chaos by disguising themselves as an antagonistic leader. They’re cheat characters who can transform themselves into a human, and also a monster.

They’re Loki, who transformed into a member of the royal family, who breaks the seal of the hidden temple. I learned about this in a side story of the game. Maybe it was in the original story, but I’ve only read up to volume 10. So …… I don’t know.
