Chapter 12: Suspicious Person (Straight Ball)
Translator: Soafp
“Go for it—!!!”
“Don't lose—!!”
“Bieeeeeeeee!!”
“…”
9 AM. At the movie theater.
On the screen, animated characters in flashy idol costumes are battling enemies.
From the very beginning of the battle scene, the voices of children reverberate.
It turns out that for movies like this, talking and shouting are completely fine.
I never knew this before. I only ever had the impression that theaters are supposed to be quiet.
“Go go goooooo!!!”
“Don't lose, ○×! Don't lose, ○×!!”
“We're with you—!!!”
Even so, is it really okay for the “big friends” (grown-ups) to join in the shouting?
Since the kids are also having fun together, it's not too bad, but…
…It's frustrating, but honestly, it was really exciting.
Don't underestimate a kids' movie. The characters on the screen are in quite a dire situation.
Former allies have been brainwashed and fallen to darkness. The protagonist can't make a move, and time passes without anything being done. All the allies have been captured and, of course, brainwashed.
But now, the protagonist has awakened.
Determined to defeat all former allies under the banner of justice.
Facing an overwhelming disadvantage of 1 vs. 5.
That's why—
“Go for it—! (Kids)”
“Don't lose…!! (Kids)”
“Go on, we're fighting with you!!! (Grown-up)”
“Go for it—!! (Me)”
Now, the entire theater became one.
“…That was fun…”
Breathless but satisfied.
The following segment, which was a daily-life episode after the brainwashing of the allies had been resolved, was also great.
The scenes of making meals together were nice. It was so good it almost made me cry (with tears of joy).
Wonderful pacing.
☆ Rating: 10 out of 5 stars (exceeds the limit).
“Haa…”
The end credits were short.
As the screen went dark and the lights came on, I felt quite nostalgic at that moment.
It's like coming back from a dream to reality—
“—!?”
Just as I thought I should leave, I noticed the “three people” who had been there earlier.
I instinctively lowered my face and hid in my seat.
“Haa~, that was fun, Kanon-chan. Ayanon, you worked hard too.”
“Yeah!”
“I'm exhausted…”
Kisaragi-san, Hatsune-san, and another person… A child about the same age as the surrounding kids.
Kisaragi-san was dressed in a very cute casual outfit, different from her uniform.
Hatsune-san, now in a leather jacket, had a more feminine look compared to her morning tracksuit—
But this isn't the time to be immersed in such eye candy!
Why are they here!?
No, that should be my line!
This is bad.
My presence must not be discovered.
I didn't notice them when I came in because it was dark.
Since when—No, they were definitely here before I arrived! It's okay!
What to do?
What to do—hide? Run away?
No, where to hide?
Running away is the only option!
“—”
I quickly packed up my stuff and fled.
I glanced at the three people—good. They probably have more time because they have a child with them.
I should be able to escape with no problem.
“Alright…”
I threw away the trash and left the theater—taking a breath.
It didn't even take a minute.
Even if they see me later, they won't think I was watching this movie.
Mission accomplished. Perfect, if I do say so myself… (in bliss).
“…What's wrong, Momo?”
“Hmm? I was just wondering if he thought he hadn't been spotted—”
“? What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Eheh, it's nothing. Kanon-chan, did you have fun?”
“Yeah!”
“Aww, so cute, I love you!”
