Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There Is A Problem - Chapter 379.1

Chapter 379.1. Life Goes On

Seated in the awaited car, I crossed my arms and was in deep thought. 
Lately, I’ve been contemplating a few things.
“When I use the awakening mode, my thoughts become more childlike. I consider myself a brilliant mind, a conglomeration of intellect that could make even a great detective run away barefoot.”
“Well, it’s cute, so it’s fine, don’t you think?”
“It’s like the Tamamo-no-Mae girl mode. When combined with Kon-chan, I feel like playing pranks on people.”
“Isn’t that kind of a big revelation? I didn’t know about it before!”
Ignoring Yamiyo, Tamamo unexpectedly came out with a side effect. Did the fox girl mode have such a secret?
Or rather, wouldn’t it be nice if she let me down from her lap soon? 
The platinum mode doesn’t seem to be releasing. 
She’s been keeping me on her lap, stroking my head. Isn’t it time to let me down?
“When we arrive at the high school, I’ll put you down.”
With a satisfied expression, I happily loosened my face, so it seemed impossible during the journey.
Everyone is riding in a super large car, equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and custom-made plush chairs. 
It’s a remarkable vehicle where you can’t even feel the vibrations during the journey.
“Hey, today we have the two members of Kamigamin, who are currently on sale!”
The news on TV shows a band that is currently on sale.
“Good morning, everyone! Let’s express the refreshing morning air with sound first!”
“Listen to my sound!”
The male member of the band plays the harmonica, and the girl standing next to him taps the wooden fish. 
The two of them dance lively while playing music.
“They’re a surreal band that’s been popular lately!”
Hoku-chan seems to be carefully checking the TV. Nan-chan is nibbling on the provided bread. 
Didn’t you have breakfast? You ate a little while ago, right?
“Isn’t that wooden fish a bit strange? Can I have another serving of bread?”
“…This chair is perfect for a bed.”
Sei-chan is reclining to the maximum and seems comfortable, stroking the plush chair and relaxing with a faint smile.
The recently popular surreal band… well, it looks fun, so it’s okay.
“Anyway, it’s noisy, so I’ll change the channel.”
Expressing the refreshing air with sound turned out to be anything but refreshing.
After a while, the Third Magic Academy comes into view. It’s a building constructed using the latest architectural techniques. After all, it disappeared completely once in a gas explosion.
Many students commute by car, but many walk to school. 
Looking outside, you can see people in uniform gradually increasing on the commuting route.
Since today is the entrance ceremony, they’re probably all new students. 
The faces of the people walking are filled with anticipation for their upcoming student life.
A girl with bread protruding from her mouth jumps out from a corner, colliding with a boy. Oh, the boy skillfully dodges. He catches the girl perfectly, then hands her over to another boy who is walking behind them.
The boy who received the girl seems confused with an “Eh? Eh?” expression. But without turning around, the one who handed her over walks towards the school.
“Well, I guess he’s already had enough of events.”
Seeing that scene, a smile unintentionally spreads across my face.
“Is something wrong, Mii-sama?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Well then, we should be arriving at the school soon.
I never really planned to enroll in school. 
I planned to work as an adventurer 2 a month, attend the king’s meetings once a month, and have a very busy life. 
Being a student was out of the question.
Nevertheless, the Magic Academy seems fun. Holograms float in the sky, magicians fly through the air, and Grandpa Odin glares at me up close.
As we get out of the car, I somehow see Grandpa.
Oh, why is Grandpa here?
“Fool. The young lady asked me to convey her greetings.”
“Now that you mention it.”
“I’ve been waiting for a while now!”
Peeking out from behind Grandpa is Freya.
“Since it’s young lady’s entrance ceremony, it would be best for the Archmage-sama to attend the ceremony. Young lady would be delighted, and her student life would be peaceful.”
“I’m busy. I can’t bother with such trivial matters.”
Standing next to him is Sena. She claps her hands together and says to Grandpa with a lovely smile. 
Grandpa glares at Mii-chan but turns away.
“I didn’t want to enroll in the academy, but it looks fun. Ahaha!”
Mion, unreservedly pounding Sena’s shoulder, smiles. There is no shadow in that smile, and she genuinely seems to be looking forward to it. She’s a positive-thinking girl. I, too, when I see that smile, smile.
“From now on, as nobility, you’ll have to learn etiquette and various studies. Let’s do our best together from now on.”
Without making a displeased face even when her shoulder is pounded, Sena exchanges glances with Mion and smiles. Without any shadow, her face is full of expectation for the unknown future.
The loop ends, and Sena has escaped from the predetermined fate. A high school life different from the original awaits her.
“By the way, where’s Masatoshi-kun?”
If Sena and Mion are here, that guy should be here too. But there’s no sign or shape of him anywhere.
“Oh, he’s right here.”
Sena takes out a red key hanging around her neck like a necklace from her chest and shows it. For some reason, the key is wriggling… no, it seems to be moving happily.
It got stored in her chest, after all. It’s creepy to see a rigid key moving happily.
