Ch.35 Aria's Memoria Page 3
□Month ¶Day
Now that I've been promoted to E-class, as I wrote before, my training as an idol begins.
Patrols. Reconstruction work. Volunteering.
But the first thing I had to do was create a profile sheet.
Apparently their top priority is to make large numbers of copies of the completed profile sheet and distribute them as flyers.
There are 8 columns: "Name," "Age," "Hobbies," "Special skills," "Favorite food," "Things you're into," "Self-analysis," and "A message to everyone."
I guess I'll write it here too.
Name: Alpheria Linker!
Age: 15!
Hobby - Hmm, maybe helping people
Special skill: Working hard at everything!
Favorite food: Pudding!
What I'm into: It overlaps with my hobby, but I love helping people!
Self-analysis: I don't really know why, but people tend to say I'm a bit of an airhead or clumsy. I wonder why.
A message to everyone: Alpheria will do her best to protect everyone's smiles and our future!!
ーThat was rejected.
I was told not to underestimate it.
Huh?
Profile sheets and self-promotion are just a place to tell a bunch of lies.
I was even wondering whether to add a ♡ to the end of my sentence.
When I responded like that, I was told to just be honest.
I thought it was a joke. I mean, I'm an idol after all, right?
If you were to be naive and write everything as it is, you'd never become popular.
While I was doing that, another Valkyrie handed the profile sheet to her superior.
I took a quick look at it and it was unbelievable.
Name: Risha Metis
Age: 14.
Hobbies - Shut up
Special skills: I don't know.
Favorite food: I'm not interested
What I'm into: It's a pain
Self-analysis: Can I go home?
A message to everyone: What game shall we play?
When the superior officer saw this, he said one thing.
[Okay.]
No way! No way!
This girl is definitely underestimating it!
It's a profile sheet!
Why did mine get rejected but hers got through? Isn't it strange!?
And what's more.
That Valkyrie called Risha took one look at my profile sheet, gave a cold sneer and walked away!
T- this little girl...!
She made a fool of me. Ha, ha... Take back that sneer...!
According to the instructor, the stereotypical Valkyrie is already outdated.
Apparently, we now live in an era of fierce competition where individuality matters.
Which Sengoku period is this?
The bottom line is that as long as you write honestly, it's fine.
I was shown a glimpse of the profile sheets that had been submitted, and there were some parts that were quite graphic.
I was annoyed at the idea that it's not good to just write everything honestly, so I rewrote it and this is what I came up with.
Name: Alpheria Linker
Age: 15
Hobbies: Internet surfing and games
Special Skill: Revenge
Favorite food: Ramen and hamburger steak
What I'm into - can this overlao with hobbies?
Self-analysis: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If you get hit, you hit back. It's cockroach bath time!
A word to everyone: there's nothing good in dreaming about real women.
Submitted.
It passed.
Is this really fine to just okay it like that?
□Month ZDay
Today's mission was patrol and promote.
We patrol the area handing out flyers with large numbers of copied profile sheets and posting them on bulletin boards.
"Nice to meet you," I said, exuding just the right amount of friendliness as we went around handing out profile sheets to people on the street.
The acceptance rate is fairly high.
Valkyries are humanity's only defense afterall.
It would be difficult for the other party to just flatly refuse.
I ignored the bulletin board.
That's because a nasty fight between the Valkyries has broken out over there.
The first person to get there would post it, right?
Then the next Valkyrie who comes along would peel off the first one and put her own on, right?
Then, the next Valkyrie who visits would also replace her own profile sheet in the same way.
It's an infinite loop of that.
Wanna check the nearest trash can?
There's a pile of torn up profile sheets, you know?
There was even one where the face of a promotional photo was stabbed repeatedly.
I know I said not to dream about real women, but maybe you guys should hide it a bit more???
□Month ΘDay
I arrested some criminal organizations.
I've dealt with about five of these in the past week.
What's going on with the security???
Well, there's nothing I can do about it.
The appearance of Weiss and the founding of an organization called Valhalla.
This caused the government to lose its ability to govern, and riots and terrorist attacks became frequent.
The gap between rich and poor widened further, and the poor were forced into slums.
Large corporations have gained enough power to intervene in the judiciary.
These large corporations were entering the heyday of their power, but now that the government has lost its power, the only way for them to maintain their influence is to imitate the government.
However, it is not natural for a company to have that kind of know-how.
Because of all this, the city is in a state of chaos.
It's that. Is it easier to understand if I call it cyberpunk?
For now, the security in the city center is about the same as in Japan, so even children can go out safely.
It's something like a fantasy set in another world.
Humanity is united thanks to clearly-identifiable great evils such as demons and the Demon King.
Once that great evil is gone, the typical scenario would be for humans to start fighting each other.
It doesn't matter.
The crisis of humanity is something only bigwigs think about.
To everyone else, it's just a fire on the other side of the river.
In other words, even if there is a great evil, humanity will continue to fight each other.
xMonth 〇Day
Cockroach shower!!
×Month △Day
I'm in solitary confinement now
It didn't work.
×Month □Day
Moth shower!
×Month xDay
I'm In solitary confinement now
This also didn't work
×Month ◇Day
Pillbug shower!
ーBut when I tried to do that, it was intercepted.
Apparently there was surveillance.
I guess it can't be helped since it's the third time.
Well, then at least do something to help that person.
Otherwise I'll just keep doing the same thing.
When I half-threatened that, things finally started to move up.
Sigh, they're so slow.
Recently, I've been working hard to eradicate bullying.
The target of the bullying is Kaguya Mutsuki, a senior who was previously in the news.
After our talk with her junior, I took a quick look at the situation, and it was pretty awful.
They hide things from her, throw them away, whisper mean things about her in front of her, blatantly mock her, or punch her in the shoulder.
What's more, even her former entourage apparently took the initiative to participate.
This is what happens when you lose your position, women are so scary, I'll record it.
Of course, she does have people who defended her.
It seems like she was originally a virtuous person.
However, the anti movement was even stronger.
Being from a good family must have been such a big problem for the Valkyries.
Their thoroughness was incredible, including putting pressure on those who defended her.
So it was I who objected to Kaguya-senpai's current situation.
I was asked to do it, and i personally found it disgusting.
So that leads to my actions above.
After all, attacking with insects is the most powerful.
Those kinds of people aren't going to regret their actions just because they've been warned.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is the best solution.
I was treated like a huge problem child because of it though.
ΘMonth §Day
I'm finally promoted to D-class saurus.
Hmm? There's someone who ends their sentences strangely don.
So, what happens if you get promoted to D-class?
That's right ー you get to form a unit.
From now on, I will be on the same boat as Valkyries with whom I've formed a unit with.
We will have each other's backs not only during concerts but also in battle.
It would be fine if it was just people I get along with ー I thought as I headed to the briefing room, only to find that everyone was already there except for me.
One of them is the aforementioned Kaguya Mutsuki senpai.
And the other was Risha Metis, who had given me a sneer when I was filling out the profile sheet.
The air in the room was not good.
Both were silent. Silent. Silent.
They don't even seem to make eye contact with each other.
Moreover, as soon as they glanced at me, they went back to what they're doing as if they had lost interest.
Kaguya-senpai is reading.
Risha is a gaming.
But I don't care because I'm an adult.
Leaving aside what happened to Risha, it wouldn't be surprising if Kaguya-senpai had lost faith in people because of the bullying.
She probably doesn't know about all the hard work I've been doing behind the scenes.
Therefore, since I'm the oldest, including my previous life, I should take the initiative in this matter.
"Umm, I'm Alpheria Linker. I look forward to working with you as a unit from now on."
I bowed deeply.
Because greetings are important.
And the response to my polite greeting wasー
""………………""
There's no response!!!
…….
…………Haa.
……………But. I'm an adult so I don't mind. Hmph...! Hmph...!
Leaving aside Risha, it wouldn't be surprising if Kaguya-senpai had lost faith in people because of the bullying.
Hmm? Is this some kind of deja vu?
I turned around and decided to leave the briefing room.
When dealing with a difficult girls, the only way to appease them is with dessert.
So I bought a whole cake for each of them.
I returned to the briefing room and presented each with a whole cake.
I smiled at the two who looked at me suspiciously.
Splat!
Splat!
I slammed those cakes into their face.
A fight ensued.
Come at me!
Kaguya-senpai and Risha would later go on to form the best of friendship.
It would be no exaggeration to say that their first impressions of each other were the worst.
It's not my fault okay!
