Chapter 66.2. Masatoshi Learns The Meaning Of The Original Story

-Masatoshi’s POV-

“Hey, Mion! Don’t just sit there and watch the show! You’ll die! Get the hell out of here!”

He yelled at the girl who was still foolishly eating her food, thanking him for the pizza. They were stuffing her Tupperware with food because now was the time.

“Ah, yes, it’s dangerous…is it?”

“What’s more important, the food or your life, you idiot!”

“Wow, okay. Let’s all go!”

Finally, she wrapped the roast beef chunks on the platter in paper before being cut into pieces and put away in her pockets, and Mion also began to evacuate.

Behind them, the battle had begun, and although they could hear angry shouts and magical explosions, people were walking in an orderly fashion. There was no confusion, and no one get crushed to death because of the evacuation.

“What is this? How can this happen?”

“What is going to happen?”

Masatoshi walking with his head down was surprised to see Sena’s cute face popping out from directly below. Is it because he’s a fan of the original that he finds her adorable even in disguise?

“Yeah, no, it’s that many monsters. I wonder if some of them might be able to get out of it.”

“Wow, it sure is scary. …… Will you protect me then?”

“Of course, I will protect you even if it costs me my life.”

As Sena’s face shows the color of fear, he smacks his chest with a thump, and Masatoshi laughs at the chance to make a good impression. Shin sees this and interjects with a beaming smile.

“Yes, that’s right. Yes, there is that danger. But it will be all right. There are a lot of commoners behind us. I think we can escape while they’re getting attacked. I will protect you, Sena-san, so don’t worry.”

“Hmph, I have two knight-sama I can rely on, don’t I?”

“Eh?”

Sena is pleased as she puts her hands together in front of her chest cutely. He felt as if he heard some strange line, but it was probably just his imagination, and Masatoshi returned to laugh and an affectionate smile to match.

But under the circumstances, scissors mantis wouldn’t have made it this far. It was when he was getting more skeptical, wondering if the original story had changed.

“Kya! It’s a monster!”

“What!”

He turned around in a panic at the sound of that voice, and to his disbelief, scissors mantis were standing right behind him. And there were 5 of them.

“Hey, why? Because there are still people behind us!”

A scissors mantis appears in the middle of the crowd. Masatoshi wonders why and yells out. They should have attacked us from behind, like an avalanche.

That is why he was beginning to think that this situation, protected by tanks and warriors, would not follow the story.

And yet, out of nowhere, scissors mantis appeared. Shuddering at the thought that this was the compulsion of the original story, Masatoshi laughed at the opportunity that had presented itself. That’s where she can fall in love with me by helping them brilliantly.

“Let’s run away. Follow me!”

Shin grabs Sena’s hand and starts running. It’s just like in the story. He tries to run away, but she catches up with him. So Shin uses magic for a moment, without even realizing it.

[The crowd falls prey to the grim reaper’s scythe wielded by scissors mantis and turns into a world of screams. People begin to run in terror and confusion. Amid the smell of blood and the death throes of the living. With the support of the warmth of the Princess who must be protected in his hands]

It’s just as in the original story. Even the text Masatoshi remembered without making a word-for-word mistake. Here, he takes the heroine from the hero.

“Kyaa, Mami, hold on!”

He heard Mion’s voice amidst the screams and stopped in his tracks.

“Huh?”

He looked fearfully behind him and saw that Mion had stopped and was crying, holding her friend, who was probably her companion. For some reason, the scissors mantis wielded its scythe not to kill, but to dislodge her at an obstacle, but even that would be fatal to a commoner.

“Huh?”

Masatoshi remembered a passage from the novel in his memory.

[The crowd falls prey to the grim reaper’s scythe wielded by scissors mantis and turns into a world of screams. People begin to run in terror and confusion. Amid the smell of blood and the death throes of the living, Shin continued to run with all his might.]

She’s a mob. She’s the screaming inhabitant of the world. She’s a mob part of the role of background music to stir up a sense of crisis.

That’s why, to save Sena, he has to chase after her.

“Huh?”

But Masatoshi had stopped dead in his tracks before his first human death.

The world in the novel he had been reading was rapidly becoming a reality, and it was coming at Masatoshi.
