俺にどうしろと

[zuotengdazuo]

「……ああ。本番、精霊が出現したら、君は小型のインカムを耳に忍ばせて、こちらの指示に従って対応してもらうことになる。一回、実戦を想定して訓練しておきたかったんだ」
「で、俺にどうしろと？」
「……とりあえず、岡峰珠恵教諭を口説いてきたまえ」

Hi. For the underlined sentence, why is 俺に instead of 俺が/は is used? What’s the difference between 俺に and 俺が/は?
By the way, why does the underlined sentence end with と (in red)?
Thank you.

It's 俺に *because* it ends in と. The と is a quote marker and implies, 「俺にどうしろと言う？」ie, "What will you tell me to do?"
The subject of this is not 俺、 but rather the other speaker.

If the question was 「俺がどうしたらいい？」"what should I do?" then the subject would be 俺.

Also... what are you reading? I keep seeing all these snippets and now I'm getting curious.

It's the omitted version of 俺にどうしろと言うんだ？, as Chris-san wrote. 言うんだ？ is omitted since it's obvious from the context. Similarly, if it's で、俺はどうすれば？, it means 俺はどうすればいい？.

Thank you both! I get it.

They are from デイト・ア・ライブ. I like this anime. And as to its novel, I consider it easy to read for a beginner like me.

Ahh. I've heard of it, haven't watched or read it. Maybe I'll give it a chance.
