As a Mook, I Challenge the Players in the Game

So-called minions exist only as background characters in a story, cheering on the player protagonists.

As a minion NPC, I was attacked by a high-level monster during a mission. Just when I was nearly killed, I gained access to a status screen that only players had, along with a strange girl who claimed to be a mimic and had somehow burrowed into my brain.

"Hey, if you want to stay alive, get to work and earn our living expenses! Otherwise, neither of us will make it, whether you mean in terms of our livelihood or our lives."

"W-What kind of joke is this? Why are your daily expenses higher than my living expenses?! My salary isn't nearly enough!"

"Because I'm a mimic!"

"Damn it!"

To earn back the money being drained by the mimic girl, who's a real money sink, I, a minion NPC, have no choice but to join the ranks of the adventurer players and take on a world that ordinary NPCs would never venture into.

For the sake of our living expenses!
