The plan has failed.
I pondered amidst the cheers. How did it come to this?
I never expected my identity to be exposed the moment the Valkyrie appeared. Even though I went out of my way to bring out Rosie-kun, they still called me "Black Rosarin." Rosie-kun, you didn't even say "Rosarin"!
[Muscle! Muscle! Muscle!!] [Rosariiinnn!!] [Meat! Meat! Muscle!!] [Rosariiin!]Everyone is chanting "Rosariiin" with bright smiles... I shouldn't have carelessly waved at that boy. No, it's too soon to give up! I need to bring out something even flashier and more impactful!!
"Somebody, somebody, help meee!!"
Having no better idea, I yelled half in desperation—and the sky lit up. Then, from the heavens, an old man wearing cat-print underwear descended. As usual, he was in a magical girl-style outfit. It seemed to have been revamped into a dreamy, cute version with a heart motif.
"I received your distress signal, Rosarin!"
"Kurariiiiin!!"
The dazzling magical girl Kurarin had arrived! I couldn't admit that I never actually expected him to come…
"Rosarin... since when did you gain the ability to summon Kurarin? Why don't you explain it to your dear brother?"
As I suffered under my brother's umeboshi-style headlock, I desperately replied.
"Owwww! I'm sorry! I really didn’t think she would actually comeeeee!!"
"Huh?"
"I just said it on a whimmm!!"
Though I was freed from the headlock, my brother had now switched to lecture mode.
"I’m just guessing here, but maybe the conditions for Kurarin to come here all lined up?"
"Conditions?"
"Kurarin hasn’t fully ascended to godhood yet, but… there's interference from evil and a priestess loved by the gods crying for help… As far as conditions for divine intervention go, that sounds valid. Maybe the reason Kurarin was able to visit from time to time even after becoming a god was due to the presence of evil?"
That… actually made sense. I had to agree. Gods aren’t supposed to interfere in this world, but there are exceptions—like when other gods interfere.
I looked up at Kurarin. I could see her cat-print underwear.
"To protect the love of the world, the God of Love, Kurarin, descends! Let’s fall in love together☆ The magic phrase is Miracle Kurarin☆"
Kurarin blew a kiss. She’s grown so much!!
"Bravo! Bravo, Kurarin!!"
"So cute! So amazing!!"
We clapped with all our might, while the others struggled to keep up. At least the "Rosarin" chant had stopped!
"Everyone, please chant for Kurarin! The God of Love has graced us to completely neutralize the evil! Now, shout it out!! Kurukuru Miracle☆Magical Kurarin☆☆"
"Kurukuri?"
"No, you fool, it's Kurukuru Mirakuri, right?"
"Wait, isn't it Kurukuru Mawatte??"
"Rosarin, I think they’re confused."
The Rosarin chant was gone, which was great, but the evil presence was stirring slightly.
"Alright then, just ‘Miracle Kurarin’!"
"Mirakuri?"
"Kura-kura??"
"Miku-miku???"
At the end, it didn’t even resemble the original… Should I just go full "Miku-Miku-ni shiteyarou ka?"
But if I don’t make this work and redirect the energy towards Kurarin, she’ll end up…
"You know what, this is a pain. Let's just go with Rosarin."
Nooo! Kurarin's… Kurarin’s already turning into ringlet curls—wait, I don’t even have drill curls!!
Think! If I give up now, it's game over, just like that super-buff old teacher once said!
"Rinka!"
"Yes?"
I whispered into Rinka’s ear. She nodded.
"Got it! Then, let’s do this!"
Rinka disappeared, and I shouted with all my might.
"Cheer Captainnnnnnn!!"
"Osu!! Let's go! 3, 2, 1, GO!!"
Rinka had transformed into… an old dude in a school uniform??
"FIGHT, FIGHT, K-U-R-A-R-I-N!!"
"Fight, fight, Kurarin! Fight, fight, Kurarin!!"
A good old-fashioned cheer squad. I followed Rinka’s lead and, dressed in a school uniform myself, cheered for Kurarin.
"You can do it~ you can do it~ K-U-R-A-R-I-N!!"
"You can do it, you can do it, Kurarin! You can do it, you can do it, Kurarin!!"
Mary joined in too, so I tried to dress her as a cheerleader… but she preferred the school uniform, so we cheered together in matching uniforms.
"This, we can totally do!"
"Yeah!!"
"FIGHT, FIGHT, K-U-R-A-R-I-N!!"
[Fight, fight, Kurarin! Fight, fight, Kurarin!!]"You can do it, you can do it, K-U-R-A-R-I-N!!"
[You can do it, you can do it, Kurarin! You can do it, you can do it, Kurarin!!]This time, the chant was easy to understand. One by one, more people joined in to cheer for Kurarin. And when everyone’s hearts became one, a miracle happened.
"Okay! I have received everyone's love!!"
"Kurarinnnn!?"
Kurarin… Kurarin…
"She, uh… gained weight. Too much love, maybe?"
Her physical attack power increased, but her agility took a massive hit. She got bigger. Bulkier. Kurarin had reached Valkyrie size—but in sumo wrestler form. Her magical girl outfit looked like it was about to burst from all the luxurious meat packed inside.
Kurarin wobbled as she flew through the air. Her wings looked too small for her body, and I worried she might crash, but somehow, she made it to the Great Tsunami.
Then, Kurarin shouted.
"Secret Technique! Shining☆Butt Thunderrrrrr!!"
Like a rocket booster, she shot out a bright yellow cloud from her butt and ascended into the sky. And then… she vanished.
"Klar—"
"Ughhhhhhhhhhh it stiiiinnnkkksssss!?!?"
The yellow smoke Kurarin left behind instantly filled the air, and an overwhelming stench assaulted us.
It stiiinnnkkksss!!!
Wait… Butt Thunder… That was just a fart, wasn’t it!?!?
The scene had devolved into utter chaos.
