Episode 33: A Beautiful Girl’s Request Should Be Granted, Even If It Means Bearing Sin
I feel like I’ve triggered some strange event switch…
I don’t think it’s just my imagination.
I’m not the dull-witted protagonist of a typical story. I’m a new-generation Beautiful Girl who thinks deeply and always acts with foresight.
That’s why I understood.
Today is definitely the day of the original work’s event…
Come on, there’s no way the main characters from the original would just come to an amusement park for fun!
“Hey, Kei, is something wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
I reply with a bright smile.
I was tense during my part-time job, so I’m even more exhausted now. That costume earlier – it was definitely someone from the original work. But there weren’t any characters in the original who wore costumes, so what exactly was that?
“Still, Kei, you really helped me out today. Thanks to you, I managed to get through my work without a hitch.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Miroku-senpai, there’s a high possibility that things won’t remain peaceful from now on.
My shift is over, and the sunset is beginning to dye the park orange.
In about an hour, this amusement park will turn into a battlefield.
In the original work’s event, this is where Uroboros, the monstrous creature, makes its debut.
It’s a fusion and sublimation of a Dungeon and a person.
A top-tier boss with near-immortality regeneration abilities and the ability to use the special powers of the human it has fused with.
The first one chosen for this honor is Rinka, the original work’s secondary heroine.
She betrays her own organization to try and kill the creator of Uroboros but fails. She’s then absorbed and begins to destroy the amusement park as Uroboros.
She’s strong, so you mustn’t fight her under any circumstances. Though Rinka doesn’t yet have her special powers and only has regeneration, she’s still formidable.
Only someone like Lutra can handle her; for anyone else, confronting her isn’t even worth considering.
“Well, let’s head back, shall we?”
All I can do is take Miroku-senpai home quickly. We shouldn’t be here any longer.
“Wait! Why don’t we ride something before leaving?”
“…Actually, I’m too exhausted to have that kind of leisure.”
Miroku-senpai’s kindness is working against us in the worst possible way!
Refusing a Beautiful Girl’s request is certainly guilty.
But I can’t let a Beautiful Girl die either.
Thinking that, I tried to leave quickly, but my hand was grabbed.
Eh? Why do you want to ride so badly?
“Please. Just this once, indulge my selfishness. There’s just one thing I want to ride.”
“What about next time when we all come together?”
“…Please. It has to be now.”
Miroku-senpai said this while bowing her head.
Do you really love amusement parks that much?
Hmm, just once might be okay…
If I escape from the amusement park with all my strength after it’s done, it should be fine. In the worst case, Solciera can help.
‘■■■■■’
Don’t get too excited.
You’re supposed to be the last resort.
“Alright. Then, let me join you for just one ride. Actually, I’ve been curious about this attraction here.”
At my words, Miroku-senpai smiled with relief.
“Thank you. Let’s go then. My recommendation is the Ferris wheel. You can overlook the entire park, and especially at this time, the sunset is beautiful.”
Saying that, Miroku-senpai took my hand and walked toward the Ferris wheel.
Ah, another Guilty point added because I’m holding hands with a Beautiful Girl.
The Ferris wheel wasn’t crowded.
In a world where modern Dungeons exist, the Ferris wheel probably lacks entertainment value and isn’t very popular.
In my original world, it’s standard, but here, it’s merely one of many attractions at the amusement park.
Consequently, it’s the farthest from the entrance.
Considering our escape, this is the worst location.
“Shall we board?”
“Ah, yes.”
Our turn came quickly.
We were placed inside a cute decorated cabin and sat facing each other.
Yes, this is nothing short of a cardinal sin!
Riding a Ferris wheel with a Beautiful Girl is something only a Beautiful Girl should do.
It’s common knowledge by now.
I was so worried about the original work’s events that I completely forgot about this until now. Riding a Ferris wheel with Miroku-senpai is essentially a date with a Beautiful Girl.
The gravity of this sin is incomparable.
I might end up reincarnated as a water beetle or something. Sad.
“Once again, thank you for today.”
As usual, Miroku-senpai smiled and said that.
Her face illuminated by the sunset looks even more beautiful than ever.
“No, I’m grateful too. Helping out was enjoyable. The amusement park part-time job was quite fun, so please invite me again if you’d like.”
“…Yes, if there’s a next time, definitely.”
“Miroku-senpai?”
Is Miroku-senpai also tired from the part-time job?
It seems like exhaustion is showing on her face…
No, even so, she’s still a Beautiful Girl.
“Ah, look. There’s the fountain where we started. From up here, it looks small, doesn’t it?”
“That’s right. Oh, there’s a mascot standing there. It’s different from the one I wore.”
“That’s a wild rabbit costume.”
A wild rabbit… Not a regular rabbit.
“—Kei, may I sit next to you?”
By the time we reached the top, Miroku-senpai had moved next to me saying that.
Yes, Guilty.
Am I the only one getting dragged straight to the deepest level of hell?
“I had a lot of fun today. Thank you.”
Next to me, Miroku-senpai smiled and said that.
It’s not my imagination; she smells good.
This is the true scent of a Beautiful Girl…
Later, I might buy some Solciera perfume too.
“Thank you very much.”
I bowed my head.
Inside the cabin dyed orange by the setting sun, alone with a Beautiful Girl.
This is equivalent to the final scene of a personal route still image.
Thank you for letting me experience this with such an inexperienced Beautiful Girl.
I’ll work hard to reach that side someday!
“Kei, are you enjoying Factom General Academy?”
“Yes.”
There are many Beautiful Girls.
Fun.
And if I become a Beautiful Girl, it’ll be even more fun.
Let’s live a four-panel comic life together someday.
“That’s good. I’m glad.”
Miroku-senpai leaned back.
Then, looking up, she said,
“I’m glad I met Kei. Mizuki and Toa surely feel the same.”
“Really? I haven’t done anything worthwhile yet…”
Sorry for intruding despite not being a Beautiful Girl…
“Now, stop putting yourself down. There are people who trust you. Of course, I am one of them.”
Miroku-senpai’s face, perhaps due to the sunset, is slightly red.
What about mine?
“Kei!”
Suddenly, Miroku-senpai approached close enough to feel her breath and hugged me.
Ah… My brain is oscillating between guilt and happiness, creating and destroying itself repeatedly…
“I’ve become capable of handling the Student Council’s miscellaneous tasks. Mizuki says I’ve become a full-fledged Explorer. Toa says she can trust me. You are now a member of Factom General Academy.”
Saying that, Miroku-senpai hugged me even tighter.
She’s still such a good person, like a lump of goodness…
Rather, more importantly—Hair! Scent! Skin!
“…From here on, I entrust everything to you, Kei.”
Close to my ear, amidst my confusion, Miroku-senpai whispered that.
Oh no, I don’t know what I’ve been asked, but I’ll follow any orders!
“Yes.”
Hearing my response, Miroku-senpai gently pulled away.
Even though it wasn’t a hug between Beautiful Girls, I felt happy…
I’m the worst…
“Don’t cry, Kei.”
Realizing it for the first time upon hearing Miroku-senpai’s words, it seems I was shedding tears of guilt.
“…I’m not crying. It’s your imagination.”
“Hmm, is that so? Then let’s leave it at that.”
Miroku-senpai didn’t pursue the matter of my tears further.
After that, until we descended, Miroku-senpai and I chatted idly. For some reason, we talked a lot about the past…
“Well, let’s head back.”
When we got off the Ferris wheel, Miroku-senpai stretched and said that.
It feels refreshingly clear, like something has been resolved.
I understand. The sense of liberation after finishing a part-time job is immense, isn’t it?
The sun has already begun to set beyond the horizon, and the park is gradually being illuminated by the glow of the illuminations.
Danger! Hurry!
“Mirok-”
Suddenly, a large tremor shook the park.
Simultaneously, alarms blared, and black smoke rose.
“What’s happening!?”
As Miroku-senpai was surprised, I had already made up my mind to flee.
It’s the start of the original work’s event, the Amusement Park Massacre Show.
