(TL Note: FYI, this is not the last chapter. This is just the last chapter of volume 6.)
Good day from inside the wagon. I am the village idol, Oritsu Ei.
My special skills are sucking up to higher beings and producing content, and right now I am in the middle of traveling for work.
I'm a cute girl (♂) whose charm point is black hair (with a higher being attached), and actually I'm an idol.
"S-rank two people being requested... it really must be an emergency."
"Yeah, apparently an Aberrant Entity managed by the Enri Agency has gone berserk. They've already sealed off one city and are preparing to carry out the highest-level processing at any moment."
"Highest-level processing... You mean processing the memories of all citizens through visual media. In other words, making the incident and the city itself never have existed. Or creating a cover story of a disaster to deceive the public."
"Either way, we can assume it's an incident of that scale."
There's no way this kind of conversation should be flying around inside an idol.
It was so awful I tried to escape reality, but it seems I'm heading straight from here to some seriously messed-up site.
I was going with the hellish flow of special training → marriage → work, but I didn't have a choice to begin with.
For now, I'll ask questions innocently and at least diligently prepare myself mentally.
"Master, do you know what that Aberrant Entity is?"
"Not yet. They're apparently going to give details on-site. They must be afraid of being overheard somewhere."
"...True, the Five Sealing Families have been very active lately."
I nod in agreement with Senano-chan's words.
I really want a break from those crazy bastards of that kind.
Since it's the sea, let's make it a fun, lively swimsuit episode...
Ah, right, maybe I'll ask the Director!
The Director, who even now is upside down, stuck to the windshield, and looking at us like '^^'!
...That's creepy, so could you stop? Isn't that the kind of ghost story where you get out of the car and there are handprints left behind, giving you a shock?
『Director! I can do swimsuits! The agency has approved it!』
『Unfortunately, this time I am a client, so I cannot act as I please.』
『Nooo!』
『To nitpick the content presented to us without even examining it would be utterly boorish. Even more so if one is a content beginner. As seniors, we need the magnanimity to accept any kind of content, don't we?』
『Ugh, but...』
『It can't be helped, can it?』
『Oh!』
『I'll create a lake on Osora Reihou for you ^^ A swimsuit episode is possible even in the mountains. Isn't that wonderful?』
『Ah, nooo...!』
When I tried to refine a swimsuit episode out of the awful material, the awful material stayed as it was and only the swimsuit episode increased.
Or rather, just because it's better than the awful material doesn't mean the swimsuit episode isn't still a lot of trouble and anxiety for me!
Dammit, I failed at equivalent exchange...!
Far from being taken away, more came from that side...!
『Don't worry. I'll maintain summer for a few more months ^^』
『In a few more months it'll be Christmas!』
『What a luxurious content zone, where you can take in a summer festival and New Year's shrine visit at the same time.』
『...You're right!』
It's no use. My village's god can only do addition and multiplication with content.
There's no option to reduce anything. Because they're pointlessly powerful, they just force their way through any inconvenience...
What arrogance. What an optimal solution.
Will the day I can win ever come...?
"Even so, the initial response is quite fast this time. Normally they hold pointless meetings higher up before finally moving, don't they?"
"In my experience, at times like this it's the Enri Agency's screw-up."
Master answered flatly.
There was no anger or exasperation in it. Just how many missions does one have to carry out to be able to say that so matter-of-factly? I don't really want to think about it.
"Those people are only quick when handling their own mistakes. Considering the fact that they've thrown three S-ranks into this incident, it's calamity-lord-class. Senano, Ei, this is a chance to train. Let's go without holding back."
"Yes!"
"Yes... wait, three S-ranks? Does that include Ei?"
"No. Happou Fusagari."
"Huh..."
Hearing what sounded like a name, Senano-chan was startled.
Then she looked at me and slowly asked.
"Ei, are you a woman right now?"
"No!"
Today I'm a crossdressing boy! Tomorrow I'll be a girl, so please take care of me!
"...Huh? Then that wedding dress... no, never mind that. By the way, how old are you?"
"Jeez, did you forget? I'm 15."
"Right... Master, are we really working with Happou Fusagari-san?"
"Yeah."
"If we make even the slightest mistake, won't we die?"
"Yeah!"
"Why do you sound happy?!"
Why do you sound happy?!
"If death is close at hand, you'll be trained all the more. Besides, you won't die. Your guts will just be twisted apart. Fix it with fighting spirit and it's no big deal."
"Ei, don't trust what that person says. Normally, if your organs are twisted apart, you die."
"U-Understood."
That's what they say, Osora-sama.
If my memory isn't mistaken, my organs themselves were once made to disappear just to improve my acting quality.
It wasn't 'twisted apart,' it was 'erased.'
『Did you hear that, Sora? Normal humans die if their organs are twisted apart.』
『Ahaha, how fragile.』
『...Hmm, showing Ei writhing in pain with their organs twisted would be good, but there's no timing for it. Oh! We can claim the Kaitetchuu went berserk, plunge a wire into your abdomen, and have that human pull it out...!』
An evil being is receiving evil inspiration!
This is bad! My organs are being used as a tool for content expression like free stock material!
Someone help me!
"I also spat up a fair amount of blood the first time I met them. Should I bring a plastic bag or bucket just in case?"
"Please don't talk about it on the same level as vomiting, Master."
I swallow nervously.
By the way, this isn't acting. I'm simply afraid of this unseen Enri Bearer called Happou Fusagari. Also, of the Director's rampage.
"Um... what kind of person is this Happou Fusagari-san?"
"I've never met them directly. Most people either get turned into residents or killed before meeting them."
"Huh...?"
"Are they really S-rank? That sounds like you're describing a calamity-lord-class Aberrant Entity."
"Master, you've worked with them several times, right?"
"Right. I've even eaten with them... If I had to say, they were constantly sleep-deprived. There's no way to train your body like that. They're also a natural shut-in."
"Is that so? Hmm, I can't imagine what kind of person they are..."
"The person themselves is decent. But everything around them is the worst."
Then Master gave a summary about the Enri Bearer called Happou Fusagari that left me with nothing but ominous feelings.
"Their title is—the Enri Agency's greatest masterpiece."
I don't have a single good impression of the Enri Agency, you know!
