Prologue to the End
(TLN: There are some Halloween specials I skipped, so remind me sometime in the future to do them. <3)
[Last of Mary’s Perspective]
―― Wait, hold on a second, can you?
When did she become the idiotic character?
She appeared as the perfect cheat character and played a crucial role in spicing up the second part despite being a supporting heroine, right?
(Why was this ridiculous setup of “surprisingly careless” added to me?)
It’s strange.
The flow is strange.
The story she grasped is clearly changing.
The flow is disrupted. The parts she was involved in have completely disappeared.
(When did I become someone who could be easily overlooked like Kirari?)
Always remained perfect.
As a tricky clown, enigmatic and undefinable, she has been stirring up this story.
She has only been fulfilling this role… until after her interaction with Kirari, she realized that something was wrong with her.
(My “omnipotence” trait has been taken away.)
The role assigned to Mary Parker had vanished.
As a result, her power has rapidly declined.
It was after she met Kirari at the café.
Since then… strange things have been happening around her.
First, her father’s company went bankrupt.
Even though it boasted a solid management structure… it was an unprecedented downfall.
It was just unlucky. Bad timing. Inconvenient.
Every negative thing piled up, turned into debts, and her father lost his fortune.
It was truly a miraculous downfall… Almost like the intervention of God, such astronomical events occurred.
There’s no need to go into detail.
Ultimately, what she wanted to say is… that her “rich character” had disappeared.
As a result, she couldn’t afford to hire detectives anymore… couldn’t gather information, and she couldn’t understand the story anymore.
Unlike Kotaro, she has been detached from the story since the end of the second part. Although he, being at the center of the story, might naturally grasp it, in the position of a supporting character, she can’t understand the story without resorting to brute force.
In other words, what it means is… I’ve genuinely become just a “supporting character”.
Perhaps the most notable part is that she was not even a “sub-heroine”?
She realized this over the past few days… Somewhere along the line, she has changed.
(Exactly when did I stop liking Ryoma?)
That’s right.
The Mary who once loved him has disappeared without her noticing.
It was an unnatural budding romantic feeling, so she didn’t feel much when she lost it, you know?
But feeling like she is being arbitrarily rewritten is really unsettling.
To make such blatant changes… the creator is still as incompetent as ever.
(Don’t arbitrarily rewrite my settings.)
A sigh escapes her. Well, she was finished now.
She will probably finally be retiring for real, so she probably won’t even be able to narrate the story from her perspective anymore.
That qualification was taken away from her by the incompetent creator… the god of some unknown romantic comedy, so there’s nothing she can do about it.
Well, it’s been a thoroughly unpleasant few months… but she has enjoyed being involved in the story, somehow or other.
Now, she’ll just watch.
Becoming homeless and staying at someone else’s place, she muttered gloomily.
“I wonder what’s going to happen to Kotaro from now on? The god of romantic comedies has finally come to end the story, but what kind of trials will be given to him?”
At that, the person letting her stay with them said with exasperation,
“Hey, when will this story end? Your middle school disease story isn’t interesting at all.”
…Sigh. That’s why people who can’t see the story are boring.
Conversations with Kotaro, who sees the same things she does, were fun.
“Don’t say that. That’s why you didn’t have much screen time, and the story progressed to its final chapter, you know? You should reflect on yourself more.”
The pink-haired heroine with a role she doesn’t quite understand seems to be incompatible with her, as expected.
“If you’re going to say that, then I won’t let you stay here.”
“Oh, no way! Just kidding, Kururi, don’t be mad at me.”
“Then, clean properly. You’re just a maid now… Stop blabbering and get to work.”
“…………”
Until recently, she was acting as a trickster disrupting the story.
Now she has completely turned into a blonde, busty Western-style erotic maid.
Oh well.
She wanted to play an active role in the final chapter, but it seems impossible.
Well, let’s end the prologue here… Let’s get into the main story.
Finally, Kotaro is going to confront the story.
How will he overcome the “story”?
Well then, look forward to it.
