Why they chose this story.
A gentle tune was playing, but to be honest, I could hardly describe my feelings as calm. Rather, a storm was raging inside me. To put it mildly, I was throwing a fit internally.
"Ojousama, your face is twitching."
I hate how Rabisha-chan said that so nonchalantly!
"Of course it’s twitching! Honestly, I want to roll around on the floor, but I’m holding it in! Why, of all scenes, did they have to pick THAT one!? There were plenty of better stories like my engagement with Dirk or something, right!?"
"I'm just glad you’re composed enough not to actually roll around. Also, the vegetables and dragons made an appearance, so the artists thought the engagement story was too plain and rejected it. And besides, this was the one story that both Pochi and I happened to know well."
Damn those artists! I thought, and then Rabisha-chan added more.
"And diplomatically speaking, it was the safest story too. There are a lot of other, you know, problematic ones. Like the person who harbored an Evil inside, the domestic interference you pulled off, the Saintya assault incident, or the reason the Evil was resurrected. After weighing everything, this was the best choice."
True, any of those would be seriously bad if made public. Way too bad. I couldn’t argue back and just groaned, when suddenly the ending credits finished, and on the screen in huge letters was the word “Next Episode Preview.”
A next episode preview!?
"O-Oneechan... I have a favor to ask."
Kou appeared on the screen. I remember this so well. When was this!? My mind spun. Kou has only ever asked me for favors a handful of times.
(What is this incident, born from a young boy’s wish!?)
The screen switched to a red dragon rampaging. No way, no way, no way, is this the Spank the Dragon Incident!?
(In that crisis, the warriors stood up!!)
"Wolfanea Boy No.1!"
"... Wolfanea Boy No.2!"
"Wolfanea Boy No.3!"
"Wolfanea Shadow!"
"Wolfanea Mask!"
(Victory is ours! Wolfanea Squadron Rosarinjas!!)
All of them, wearing masks... until just a moment ago they were relatively normal, but now they lined up and slid their upper bodies smoothly in a circle. Since they were slightly offset, all their faces — I mean, their masks — were visible. It’s the debut of the Rosarinjas! Mostly the Wolfanea people cheered loudly. Well, the Rosarinjas are popular there, after all.
"Now... it’s judgment time. Warrior blessed by the gods, Knight Valkyrie descends!!"
Even Knight Valkyrie-sama showed up!? The cheers were deep and booming. Knight Valkyrie-sama is still insanely popular with the knights.
"Get out here, whoever’s responsible!!"
Then, Alphage-sama, looking furious, appeared. Ugh, I have a really bad feeling about this...
"Magical☆Lyrical☆Melmel☆Metamol☆Metamorphose!!"
Seven-colored lights overflowed, and the ribbons transformed into a mini-skirted dress. Colorful gradients and ribbons added accents.
"With the power of magic, I’ll slice through the problem☆ My specialty is brute force☆ I’ll torture you on behalf of God☆ Magical Girl☆Rosarinrin!!"
She spun around and struck a pose, looking like a tragic beautiful girl.
"Grovel and beg for forgiveness, you weaklings☆"
(Stay tuned for Rosarin-sama’s continued adventures next time!!)
The damage is too much! Of all things, they had to bring out the blackest of my black history!!
"Ojousama, please save the rolling for after the ceremony. Also, your hair is hard to tie."
I hate how cool Rabisha-chan is! Even as she complained, her hands worked skillfully, and she finished tying my hair beautifully.
"No, this is way too damaging! This is an instant-kill! It’s way too cruel!!"
"... About that next episode preview, I actually had no idea. It’s probably Rinka-chan messing around..."
Rabisha-chan added that if she had known, she definitely would have stopped it. Rinka, you little...!! I’m going to make her cry later for sure! I’ll scold Pochi too!! And the whole Fluffy Club too!!
With a paper fan in hand, I gathered my anger and magic power.
But this public execution, in its own way, was not over yet.
What do you think about this chapter?
