Why wasn't I the one who got the male lead's script?

"Well, my name is Jack Balzesa, I'm twenty years old, and I'm a college student. I'm sunny and cheerful, very sociable, and I can get along with anyone. I'm interested in strange things and have joined a club related to strange events at school. This time, I took advantage of the holiday to come to this small town... I guess no one would believe me if I said I was traveling, hehehe."

Miss Qianhua touched her head while smiling, and then made an amazing rp.

"Oh, and I need to hide my Colt Police Positive Special .38 from the people around me."

"……What?"

When the absent-minded Baiyin blinked in confusion and Shiyu's face was full of question marks, the boy Xingjian, who was holding his mobile phone and ready to respond at any time, sighed helplessly.

"We already told you yesterday at the checkpoint that you're not allowed to have handguns in your belongings."

"Thank goodness you knew this was the model of a pistol!"

Ishigami-san made a timely complaint.

"Hey, but I'm a college student, alone in a strange town in the chaotic 1980s. How can I protect myself without a gun?"

At this time, don't use off-field information to try to persuade KP, Ms. Fujiwara.

However, Xingjian seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, and just held his forehead with a slightly troubled look.

"Besides, this pistol was only developed in the early 20th century and issued to American police. It's outrageous for a college student like you to carry it with you."

"I think it's outrageous that Xingjian even knows this kind of trivia!"

Silver was no less influential, contributing to the first complaint of the day.

"Uh...ah, that's it!"

Miss Qianhua frowned, pouting her lips and supporting her cheek as if she was thinking seriously - and then her expression suddenly brightened.

"I have a Daddy Tom in the police station. This is what Daddy gave me for self-defense!"

"........."

Mr. Hoshimi·kp·Qing curled the corners of his somewhat stiff mouth, then tilted his head with a smile.

"Okay, then, to prevent your gun from being discovered by station security during a routine inspection, Mr. Jack, you'll need to try your luck first and then your skill, both of which must be difficult to succeed before you can successfully pass."

I want to vividly restore how the mob pl drives kp crazy (dog head)

Kasumigaoka Utaha is unlikely to be out of ideas: Chapter 4 Let's have fun playing a group together! (V)

“Wait, wait, wait!! My magic hand didn’t even hit me—I’m sorry, can’t I just give up the gun… wu…”

Miss Fujiwara pitifully placed the character card back on the table, and then her expression changed from one emotion to another, a mixture of reluctance and determination. How could not carrying a gun be like a life-and-death separation for this guy? (Mist)

Ishigami stared at Fujiwara for a long time with an indescribable look as if he was watching a drama. After a while, he composed himself and began to introduce himself.

"Well, my name is Ulysses, I'm a female, 32 years old, and a calm and composed private investigator. My client is a strong contender for the inheritance of a wealthy businessman, and he hired me to attend an inheritance distribution meeting to uncover the details of other valid heirs. I heard the meeting was held in an ancient castle built in a suburban forest—I made the trek from my office in San Francisco to get here specifically for this."

When Ishigami was in high spirits, his voice would become somewhat rhythmic - he seemed to be very satisfied with his character background design for this card.

"I have a multi-purpose military knife that's been with me for years, some medical bandages, and first aid medicine. I heard my employer's relatives will be picking me up, so I plan to wait for them at the station."

"Eh—Miss Ulysses is actually a detective? Amazing!"

Jack, a male college student played by Ms. Chika Fujiwara, showed starry eyes of longing and curiosity towards the mature lady.

"An old house sounds really interesting, like an adventure! Can I come along and take photos? I have a camera, I can assist you and take some unforgettable photos for you!"

Fujiwara even gestured at the air to press the shutter button, looking very interested and eager to try.

"Wow... a troublesome guy is here."

I don't know whether Ishigami's RP was to fit in with Miss Ulysses's character or whether it came from his heart, but in any case, he turned his face away with a look of disgust.

"It's obvious that there's something fishy about the people in that house. I don't want to bring along a useless college student who can't do anything except take pictures."

“…I see.”

Hearing this, Miss Fujiwara Chika, who had calmed down, blinked her eyes, and after thinking for a moment, she turned her gaze to the boy Hoshimi who was recording the RP process.

"KP-san, I applied for a persuasion. Or intimidation would be fine."

"Wait!! Why are you judging me, a PL?!"

Ishigami-kun had not anticipated this development at all, so he looked extremely surprised.

To be honest - in Xingjian's expectations, this is not the worst case scenario.

"...Mr. Jack, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yeah! Because I don't want to miss any plot points!"

"Actually, even if you didn't force yourself to follow, I would have arranged for you to go there later..."

The young man complained in his heart with tears in his eyes, and then raised his eyebrows and made a request.

"That's not impossible, but it would be very difficult to convince them."

There's no way around it. After all, this is just a group play with friends out of boredom. There's no need to hold newbies like Fujiwara and Shirogane to such strict standards—after all, Hoshimi is a very "kind" player. (laughs)

"it is good--!"

Ms. Fujiwara confidently entered the corresponding code for the throw into her phone.

Jack: Persuasion 90/1, great success!

"Uh……"

This time, even Miss Shiyu, who was watching the drama patiently on the side, twitched the corners of her mouth.

"...You successfully used your excellent eloquence to persuade Miss Ulysses, and her affection for you doubled. The two of you developed an incomparably deep revolutionary friendship."

"A huge success is outrageous?! How come a college student like you maxed out your persuasion points?! A diplomat?!"

It seems that "Miss Ulysses" is not able to accept the fact that her fate has been forced upon her.

Forget about him. Xingjian, who had already arranged the specific development of another line for college students and now had to scrap everything, felt a little devastated.

It's probably the feeling of having hundreds of thousands of words in your head, but then all of them disappear because of a roll of the dice.

"If it had been a barely successful outcome, I'd only be able to walk with the detective for a short while... but since it's a complete success, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Is this game so scary..."

Mr. Shirogane Yuxing, the only real novice present, who had honestly followed the KP's requirements to drive the car card, now felt a little scared - look how scared the child was.

"No, no, no, the scary thing is obviously Fujiwara-san's good luck."

Xingjian had anticipated that something like this might happen, so he never expected to have a proper group tour this time. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, it would be fine.

No matter what, the most important thing is that everyone has fun.

"Hehe~ This is a civilized age. Don't use guns if you can solve problems with words. For me, persuasion and intimidation are very important survival skills, so of course you have to max them out. Sometimes you might even be able to achieve victory without bloodshed."

Miss Fujiwara straightened her body with confidence. There was really no sense of incongruity in these words coming from her, the daughter of a politician.

But the problem is that you have been brooding over a gun for so long.jpg

"Have I introduced myself? Uh... My name is Ethan, I'm forty-three years old, just an ordinary middle-aged office worker. I was laid off last year during company downsizing, and now I'm unemployed. I can't face going back to see my children during the Chinese New Year, so I came to this strange town alone to relax."

Why does this character card feel so real when it comes to the Silver round?

"I see. It's not easy. Miss Ulysses has respect for those who work diligently, so she smiled at Mr. Ethan."

Ishigami smiled faintly and nodded to Shirogane, whose speech was a little stiff, while Fujihara beside him seemed particularly dissatisfied with his reversal of attitude.

"Wait—Ishigami, no, Miss Ulysses, why are you ignoring me so much and making a complete about-face on his attitude towards me?"

"Huh? I've already told you, Miss Ulysses, I have a natural liking for hardworking, steady office workers. On the contrary, you, a weakling college student who talks so badly about your RP and wants to join my team right off the bat, can do nothing but talk big!"

"Woo——"

Ishigami's merciless and sharp complaints left Fujiwara speechless. She could only blush, and although her face was full of dissatisfaction, she couldn't say a word to refute.

"Besides, you're such a troublemaker! Senior Qing just said that the KP rule is that you can't bring pistols. Didn't you read it carefully when you were stuck in the car yesterday? Don't you know that this will cause a lot of trouble to others? If this wasn't just a fun game and not a regular group game, a thug like you would be killed right at the start of the plot if you were thrown into our group. Do you understand?"

"Ugh—Ishigami-kun, you idiot! You're so superior, thinking you know the rules, that you have no tolerance for newbies! You're taking things too far! Oops—!"

Because she was not in the right, the pink-haired girl could only stick out her tongue slightly in anger like a child.

"Huh? This has nothing to do with gaming superiority, does it? Fujiwara-senpai, you're the one who shouldn't be using the halo of a newbie to cover up your true nature as a thug. That's really bad—so bad! Ah, how could you be so bad?!"

"No... stop arguing..."

Baiyin, feeling a little guilty, smiled awkwardly and stood between the two of them, trying to reconcile them. After all, their dispute was caused by him.

"Isn't it just an ordinary little board game? Don't hurt the relationship."

"Huh? Senior Baiyin, role-playing is not just an ordinary board game! It's a game with a deep background and a very excellent unknown mythology system. Since you are a newbie, you should at least have some respect for the game you don't understand!" - from Ishigami Yu, who was so angry that his exposed eye was burning with anger.

"That's right! President, it's very rude to say that in front of me, a member of the board game club! And as an outsider, you shouldn't interfere in our friendly discussion!" - from's expression suddenly became filled with righteous indignation, and her face seemed to say "Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking. Your mother is very disappointed in you."

"Okay, okay. Sorry, then you guys continue."

Baiyin, who originally wanted to be a peacemaker, was so scared by the two guys who were arguing one second and suddenly united the next that he had to wave his hands and make a "please come in" gesture of concession, and then he went back to his seat and sat down, not daring to breathe.

"So the fight just now was just a friendly discussion... Does this kind of thing happen often, Hoshimi-kun?"

Miss Kasumigaoka on the side had a slightly complicated expression. She had already written down the setting of "older, cold and world-weary older sister x younger, noisy and cheerful little boy" in her little notebook.

"Well...this kind of conversation is pretty much a daily occurrence in gaming forums."

The black-haired boy rarely turned his head slightly and covered his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't bear to look at this scene.

"They're usually quite gentle and friendly guys... probably."

Even her voice had become weaker, and Xingjian sighed slightly.

He increasingly felt that his decision to be a KP was a mistake - playing a role-playing game with these people would be a long and difficult journey, and the RP alone would involve many unnecessary debates.

"It feels like I have to sc every five minutes."

Today's outcome would probably be the victory of the quarreling Fujiwara Chika and Ishigami Yu, and the defeat of the waited-for-nothing Shirogane Miyuki and the exhausted Hoshimiya Haru.

Please cherish all the kind-hearted people around you and don't push them further and further down the path of extremism. (Voiceover)

The above is not my personal experience, and I sincerely hope that it will not become the personal experience of everyone in the game. (Funny)

Kasumigaoka Utaha Can't Be Out of Ideas: Chapter 5: The Four-Person Club Exists in Name Only (Part 1)

In the end, the short tour that was supposed to take an afternoon was only half completed after six hours because of the players' jokes along the way.

During the run, there were moments like, "A naive and cheerful male college student, played by Chika Fujiwara, threatened the heir with a knife, but due to a successful throw, he beat the heir to death and then dumped his body into the wilderness." And "A reliable, older detective, played by Yu Ishigami, confronted a ghoul after collecting evidence and obtaining a pistol. Due to a failed throw, the pistol exploded, and if it weren't for the help of a passing college student, he would have died on the spot." These were magical experiences that seemed like the dice were filled with lead.

This made Hoshimi, a novice KP player, feel even more exhausted when designing the subsequent plot development. Finally, when night fell, everyone could only agree together, "Definitely next time," and stop playing here for this time.

Afterwards, Ms. Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been watching the game closely from the side, was unable to extract any useful inspiration from the game - in her own words, she felt like she was watching an impromptu crosstalk that was very delicious, and she was just focused on watching.

Playing games with this group of people really tests one's mental endurance. Xingjian, who has always grown up in an ordinary environment, finds it a little difficult to cope - but actually, he doesn't hate getting along with them.

Although I am mentally exhausted, it is also true that I feel particularly relaxed.

Apart from the occasional brain-teasers, Xingjian felt that the interpersonal atmosphere in the student union was much better than that in her original club.

There aren't so many secret fights, nor are there any attempts to deceive oneself. Overall, they are a group of people you can trust and get along with.

After the group game ended, Xingjian privately thanked Baiyin for inviting him to play the game together - even though the latter kept smiling bitterly and said, "I feel like I've dragged you into this tiring game," he just smiled and patted Baiyin on the shoulder.

To be honest, it is a rare thing for Xingjian that someone can remember his existence and invite him to play without hesitation.

He is the type of person who will remember the kindness others have shown him in his heart even if he doesn't say it out loud.

But obviously, now is not the time to be busy building friendships with others - at least there are more important things to do now.

After the party, Xingjian made a casual suggestion on the way to send Shiyu home.

"Draw inspiration, come up with a new theme, and see if it can make a splash."

Shiyu lowered her head and said that she would seclude herself for a few days to write the first draft, but she also had to prepare for the worst and not have too much hope.

"Well, that's understandable. I never had any hope to begin with, I just wanted to keep an eye on any possibility."

After all, the new work that Kasumi Shiko sent to the editorial department a month ago was criticized by readers as boring. If this is really a phenomenon caused by adolescent syndrome, then using the same old tricks would be a futile effort.

"………call."

After returning home that night, Xingjian, who was exhausted after a whole day and wanted to fall asleep, turned on the light in her home. Seeing the light instantly filling the corner of the small room, her sense of security doubled.

"Luckily, Shinomiya-san isn't here. I'm already overwhelmed by three top-notch PLs, let alone four."

Although it is annoying to think that there is only half of the plot left and I still have to serve those three top investigators to run half the distance - but today's mission has been completed very well, it is better not to add any more psychological burden to myself.
