そうか ! いらない ! So "も" is separated from the real meaning, and is probably there to say "too" since it's implied the character's been followed all day by many people...
誠にありがとうございます ! I was really getting confused by all this. Indeed, idioms don't always make sense ! I'll have to work harder because I guess it's impossible to find this idiom if I don't improve my reading of japanese websites...Well, thank you again a lot for your time !! :)

ほんとうは, 下駄で転がす（転がして）おけ。 でも の ”も” は いらない!
Originally it was 手のひらで instead of 下駄 （ゲタ）。 「手のひらで転がす(転がして）おけ！」
Let’s roll it in a palm. (Your palm)
Trundle or roll a thing on your own palm.
Meaning: （自分）じぶんの思ったとおりに行動（こうどう）させる。
Let someone act or behave or conduct themself in their own way or let someone think the way they want.
This is an old? Japanese idiom.
I'm not sure idioms always have to make sense.
Look at "it's raining cats and dogs" and imagine being someone Japanese (just learning English) doing a translation and trying to explain it??

I thought about wooden slippers too, but the thing is that the story is supposed to happen in a chinese-like, medieval world, and I never saw any character wear them. However, I realized there is a side character running with the angry one...he's a weird one so maybe the writer thought it would be funny to tell readers he's wearing wooden slippers (impossible to see though). I really thought the angry one was talking to his harassers, but your idea makes more sense ! Thanks you very much again for your help ! :D

Yeah, "laughing out loud" seems weird there.
After reading your comment I think ゲタ actually represents a subject, but the writer didn't feel like writing the kanji, or maybe felt it was not appropriate. E.g. something Japanese-origin is often written in katakana http://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/1930/why-are-katakana-preferred-over-hiragana-or-kanji-sometimes
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think one of the characters is wearing wooden slippers (下駄). It's hard to run on those shoes, so a translation could be "Just leave your geta!"

It's an angry character running away from people harassing him. I too didn't get what "ゲタ" meant especially in katakana and I didn't think it could be an onomatopoeia but you're probably right. Apparently "ゲタゲタ" means "laughing out loud" ? Strange though considering the context...
I did thought of the imperative meaning, I believed he said something like "Just stop now !" or "Just leave me alone !" but of course it doesn't match and I don't get the "転がし" part in the present context...why "roll" ? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, maybe it's actually obvious.
Well thank you anyway :)
