CH 327

“Oooh, a beautiful girl is putting me down ……!? Ouch! …… I’m so happy …… it hurts!?”

“Uhhhh!”

“Kuon! Kuon!”

Ash barks at the man and a teary-eyed Makina, who is twisting her arms around the fat man. I feel that Ash is unusually brave, perhaps because he can feel that Makina is scared.

“Thank you, Makina. Sorry, Urka, can you restrain this guy for me?”

“Yes. Of course, you stay with Makina, Ogure-san, please.”

“……”

When Urka gave the order, the skeleton was waiting behind him. I remember he used to use them in class competitions, but that’s not good.

“Nooooooooooooo!?”

“Uaaaaaaaaaah, it’s breaking, it’s breaking!?”

“Urka, pull that skeleton back!? Makina, it’s okay.”

“I-I’m sorry ……!? Ogure-san, come back!”

“Urka-san, do you ever concentrate too much on what’s right in front of you?”

Milfy also looks at the skeleton and quietly mutters with a pale face. Now that you mention it, when he uses [Spiritual Arts], it seems to have that kind of side to it ……

Anyway, Urka hurriedly puts out the skeleton, while I said to Sarge and Sephiro 

“Sarge, Sephiro, I need you to hold that guy.”

“!”

“Whoa!?”

Sarge tangled his tail around the fat man who was trying to escape and bound his hands with Sefiro’s branches. Then Aina, who had her arms folded, spoke up.

“Aina will help too! Ash, little kitty, get him! You can’t do bad things, you know!”

“Kuoon!”

“Aaahhhhhh!? This one’s a little blonde girl.”

“Nyaaaaah!”

“Gyaaaaaah!?”

In the meantime, Sarge and Urka are over there, so there’s no problem. I pull Makina to my hand and pat her back. 

“Uhhh …… Skeleton ……”

“That’s the one that Urka called, so it’s okay. I’m sorry, I made you do that when you were scared. I thought you were working hard because it’s a request ……”

“Lars ……”

After hugging her for a while, Makina stopped shaking and gently turned her face towards me and opened her mouth, her face was bright red up to her ears. 

“I-I’m sorry for losing my composure …… I’m okay now.”

“It’s okay. Here, I’ll hold your hand.”

“Yeah. ……”

Makina, who’s in good health, is looking down, maybe because her shameful behavior is shown. Her strength is weak. She seemed to have calmed down, so I moved Aina, who was poking the fat man with a branch of sephiro, out of the way and called out to him.

“Gufu …… S-Stop it with flower, little girl ……”

“This makes it two of them. You’re the guy doing the patrols, right?”

“…… Kuh …… What’s that guy doing …… Wasn’t he supposed to be putting his patrolman fellow to sleep!?”

Putting them to sleep ……? As I was wondering, the ghost of a girl came down and opened her mouth. Her expression seems to be somewhat angry.

[You …… You’ve been breaking and entering before, haven’t you ……? Opening the locks and stealing the idol’s personal belongings.]

“Y-You we’re doing that kind of things!? Oh, now that you mention it, so that’s what she means by things disappearing ……”

“I, I don’t know anything about that!? Hanza, is that you!? You said you were just going to look around the theater!”

“S-Shut up! Chucks, even though you want the cup that Anthea used!”

“I’m with Helena-chan ……!”

The ugly argument started and they talked a lot.

The fat man, Hanza seems to have extra crimes, while the skinny man, Chuck seems to genuinely like idols and is not stealing.

“Where is he? Come out, Maido! It’s his fault, he was bragging about getting us into the theater!”

The culprit was a friend of theirs, a patrolman by the name of Maido. Now we have to find him and solve the whole mess. I mostly understand, but there is one thing that bothers me.

[Seriously, you aren’t even worthy to call yourself a fan ……]

[Yes …… If you do this, the idols will stop performing for a while …… Didn’t you think of that?]

“You guys have been watching too?”

Right, it’s these ghosts.

The original request was ghosts were appearing, so we need to talk to these ghosts as well. There’s something about the way Milfy calls her by name, I wonder if they’ve become friends? If so, it might be easier to talk to them.

“Hah …… For now, cursing each other will only make you lonely, so stop it. The patrolman, Maido, right? Let’s go find him.”

“Let’s do that. Ghosts, I’m sorry but the girl over there is not good with ghosts, so can you stay behind me?”

They obeyed Urka’s words and moved quickly. The way Milfy was getting along with the ghost girl made me think that she listens better than a living person.

“We’ll meet up with Helena and the others first, then. If it’s a security job, there’s probably a room dedicated to that, so let’s go there and–“

“No, you don’t need to look for us.”

“What?”

Then we heard Fath-san’s voice from the stage side and turned our gaze to the stage, where Fath-san, Helena, a man wrapped in rope and a …… fat ghost appeared.

“So that scream was Makina’s, after all. I know you said you were scared, but I can’t imagine what the future holds for you if you’re like that.”

“S-Sorry, Master ……”

“Well, I can’t blame you for not being good at something. But as an adventurer, you’re bound to encounter the undead ……”

“Well, well, well, Grandma Fath. I’m sure Makina is doing her best to overcome them, right? That’s not the point right now.”

“Yes, it is. It looks like you’ve had a little trouble there, too, hasn’t it? Here, too.”

“Guh ……”

When Fath-san pulled the man on the rope, the man groaned as she glared at him like he was an abomination. In addition, Chucks and Hanza, who were watching the scene, opened their mouths in unison.

” “Ah! Maido!!” “

“Y-You guys ……!?”

“O-Ohhhhh ……. N-Now that I look closely, it’s a Drago …… n?”

“Youuuuu, what do you mean by this, being with Helena-san?”

Chucks, a member of Helena’s faction, is furious, but I’m relieved that we’ve captured everyone. I think we did too well, but it was good that we’re able to get them all. We gather the three of them in the center of the stage, surround them, and start interrogating them.

Next time, the resolution and what was happening behind the scenes ……

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“The Pervert and the gentlemen, huh ……”

It’s a common type of thing, right ……?
