I! Cleaner!

"Yes, yes."

"Mr. Joseph is so handsome!"

In the bewildered expression of the [Drama King], the scattered "world wills," which had been dormant, began to slowly gather and gradually reached a consensus that "Mr. Joseph is actually very handsome."

Meanwhile, in the dramatic world, Leon, who was coaxing Agatha to meet her grandmother, inexplicably experienced a slight enhancement in his appearance, as if in agreement with the pink bubbles around him. His features remained the same, yet unknown why, he grew increasingly pleasing to the eye.

His already striking eyes, as one of those bubbly voices insisted, seemed to contain a galaxy, creating a peculiar feeling of wanting to drown in them just with a glance.

*Wait... Does the dramatic world play like this?!!!*

Watching Agatha, who couldn't help but steal glances at Leon due to his explosively enhanced looks, the "Master Wilde" outside the drama world painfully tugged at his hair, reaching the verge of madness.

*This... this isn't drama! This isn't drama at all! This kind of nonsensical stuff is a desecration of great drama! Why... why... why do so many people love to watch this?*

Looking at the pink bubbles heckling from above the dramatic world, who cheered as the male lead and female lead... no, the male supporting role and the female lead hugged for the first time, and began to uncontrollably scream when the female lead entered the bathroom and saw "Mr. Joseph" with his wet upper body, the [Drama King] felt the world spin.

No... no way! Absolutely not! If this continues... I'll end up... becoming like him!

Staring at the words appearing on his white suit, witnessing the storyline being drastically altered meeting the dramatic world's will, [Drama King] revealed an expression of terror.

And when his arm opened like a book page, revealing the drama script of "Twelve Days' Journey," the marking of "Mr. Joseph" as [Male Supporting Role · Clown Number One] in the character column started to uncontrollably blur, transforming toward [Male Lead · Number One], [Drama King] finally couldn't bear it anymore, shivering as he grabbed the fine threads controlling the puppet's soul, frantically attempting to pull the plot back.

It was impossible to completely kick "Mr. Joseph" out now, but... but at least the ending should be the same! He had to preserve some of the original material as much as possible! There had to at least be a wedding! The female lead also had to marry Elijah, at most, he could only be the second male lead! Otherwise... otherwise...

...

"You are not suitable!"

Under the bewildered gaze of the bubbles, Mr. Joseph's once kind and gentle grandmother turned dark at the mention of her grandson intending to marry a tavern waitress, and said sternly and uncompromisingly,

"Joseph's future wife should either be the daughter of Duke Heisen, a princess of the Kingdom of Lutung, or at least a relative of the Lower House's Prime Minister; marrying you is absolutely impossible!"

"No, I won't marry anyone but her!"

Facing his grandmother's pressure, Leon, firmly maintaining his lovesick and domineering character, immediately rejected unwaveringly,

"All these years, I never knew what I wanted until I met Agatha, and only then did my boring life finally have brightness! So no matter how you object, I am determined to..."

"Ahem... ahem..."

"..."

*Really? Are you playing this trick too?*

In Leon's somewhat dazed gaze, his previously vibrant and robust grandmother suddenly turned pale, pulled out a snow-white handkerchief, and began coughing violently.

After a fit of heart-wrenching coughing, the frail-looking grandmother put away the blood-stained handkerchief, without mentioning her condition, stubbornly biting her lip and saying,

"In any case... no! As long as I am here, it is not happening! In this manor it is either her or me, take your pick!"

"..."

*Suddenly falling gravely ill in one second, huh?*

Stunned by the sudden heap of melodrama, Leon couldn't help but say with a dark expression,

"Then I will leave! Since this manor..."

"Ahem... ahem..."

"Since this manor cannot accommodate Agatha..."

"Ahem... ahem!" (loudly)

"If it cannot accommodate Agatha, then I might as well..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" (very loudly!)

"I'll leave then!"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!!!" (violently coughing!)

"..."

"No... there is no need!"

As the grandmother coughed blood furiously into her handkerchief, Agatha, who was already in tears, abruptly tore off the necklace Leon had given her, shoved it into his hand, turned her head, and firmly said through gritted teeth,

"Mr. Joseph, I... I have my pride! If I keep being with you, I'll not only ruin your family but also become a prisoner of your love... You... you are wonderful, but this isn't the life I want! Goodbye! No! Never see you again!"

"Wait!"

Leon turned, trying to catch her, but with [Drama King's] reinforcement, Agatha, who was depicted as frail and weak, bolted with a sprinter's speed, darting out of the room.

Meanwhile, the grandmother, already coughing a once white handkerchief into a red one, miraculously displayed the terrifying strength comparable to a demon's muscle power, her frail hand gripping his like an iron clamp, impossible to shake off.

Caught off guard, Leon could only watch as the princess-playing Agatha, leaving afterimages from her high-speed departure, raced out of the manor, heading straight through the pouring rain toward the beach... to a place where mysterious robbers awaited, ready to kidnap her into marriage!

*Not... Are you really forcing this narrative? Does the plot logic matter anymore?*

...

"Woo woo woo, it's indeed tragic!"

With Leon temporarily offline after being ambushed, witnessing the drastic turn... or rather steep decline of the story in the dramatic world, the previously pink bubbles suddenly became shrouded in gloom.

As Leon was locked up by his grandmother and Agatha went to the beach to watch the stars in the rain and got caught, the pure-hearted second male "Elijah" chose to sacrifice his freedom to return home and marry to save the goddess of his heart, each bubble began to sniffle.

"Wow! The grandmother is truly wicked, not letting lovers be together!"

"On one side, there's the lover, on the other, the grandmother; Mr. Joseph had no choice..."

"Yeah, yeah, but Mr. Elijah is pretty admirable."

"Yeah, for someone who loves freedom as much as he does, he's willing to return for an arranged family marriage to save Agatha and live the rest of his life as the very caged bird he detests."

"Thinking like that, Mr. Elijah seems all right too? At least he's good-looking? And gentle?"

Is this what... a reversal finally looks like?

Seeing a lot of bubbles vaguely drifting back, [Drama King], whose hasty plot amends left him trembling with distaste, couldn't help but be overjoyed. On his face, paler than his white suit, a blush of excitement suddenly appeared.

Yes, yes, yes! Precisely this! You dimwitted audience finally figured it out! The damned "Mr. Joseph" is just a clown! Elijah is the one and only male...

"Elijah, the homewrecker!!!"

Amid a roar, the red bubble that previously supported Leon's appeal emerged once more, brimming with anger as it roared,

"Despicable! Taking advantage of others' plight, ruining the relationship between Mr. Joseph and Agatha!"

Led by its outburst, a hoard of Joseph fans erupted too, bubbles tinged with red and pink started blubbering.

"Sisters! Stay resolute! Don't forget Mr. Joseph is the protagonist!"

"Are you gonna flip-flop when Joseph is at home battling his grandmother?"

"Elijah only lost his future freedom, but Mr. Joseph lost his love!"

"Woo woo woo, I feel for my Mr. Joseph!"

"Get her back! Go snatch Agatha back!"

No! No! Not again! No!!!

In the terrified gaze of [Drama King], large swaths of bubbles that had shifted toward his direction abruptly switched sides again, beginning to rally behind "Mr. Joseph."

With a shout from the red bubble, nearly seventy-five percent of the red bubbles started bubbling up again, then raised their rather abstract little pudgy hands, shaking and jeering,

"Wedding heist! Wedding heist!! Wedding heist!!! Wedding heist!!!!"
