Chapter 5
Part 1
—Boundary wall, stage area. [Birth of the Fire Dragon festival] Operation Headquarters.
Amidst of all those deafening cheers, the company of [No Name] was seated in special seats. Seemingly because all the seats in the event area were occupied, Sandra had to make some arrangements, providing special seats for them at the palace balcony overlooking the stage area.
Izayoi was full of smiles while eagerly waiting for the start of the match.
"Speaking of which, Shiroyasha, is it really fine for Kuro Usagi to be the ref?"
"Yeah, I had already officially entrusted Kuro Usagi with the role of the game referee and also as a host."
"Is that so? But even if there wasn't any [Little Garden Aristocrat] to be the referee, the gift game would still proceed like normal right? So what's the significance of having Kuro Usagi be the referee?"
Izayoi turned his head and asked. Sitting at the center of the balcony was Sandra, who leaned forward and re-emphasized.
"When the judgement controller [Little Garden Aristocrat] refs a game, it enhances the [Guarantee] of the game. A record will be left then as a game with rules that did not violate the legitimacy, as judged by a [Little Garden Aristocrat]. If it can leave a record in the Little Garden central system, it indirectly guarantees that both communities are dueling with dignity. This is extremely important."
"Oh? So it means that you, Sandra.......Agh, Sandra-sama's festival has already been confirmed to have a [Guaranteed] game right?"
Izayoi originally wanted to address Sandra by name, but upon noticing Mandra's sharp gaze, he could only hunch his shoulders and correct his mistake. Asuka, who sat beside him, was feeling restless and looking uneasy.
"What's wrong. Ojou-sama, you keep looking uneasy."
"......It would be strange not to be worried after hearing those words yesterday, the enemy we are facing will be of a higher digit than us right?"
Yeah, as replied by Shiroyasha. She stretched out her hand, and the names of the opposition appeared in mid-air.
"[Will-O'-Wisp] and [Rattenfänger]— Both of them are 6-digit communities. Usually they wouldn't bother to attend games at the lower gates, but they probably wanted to obtain the gift from a Floor Master, so they took the liberty of participating in the game. Even if the possibility of the Demon Lord's attack were to be deducted, it wouldn't be easy to face them."
"Okay .......Then Shiroyasha, do you think Kasukabe has any chance of winning?"
"None."
Hearing Shiroyasha's not-so-hesitant reply, Asuka revealed a bitter expression.
Asuka was probably worried about Kasukabe. After all, she might even be attacked on the stage. She, who was sitting on the special seat on the palace balcony, kept feeling uneasy.
"Calm down a bit, Ojou-sama. Even if a Demon Lord attack were to occur, it's not against Kasukabe. The chances of her being attacked immediately after it appears aren't that high right?"
"That ain't wrong...."
"Relax. Since the game is controlled by the judgement controller, the rules will prohibit lives from being taken. Furthermore I have already warned Kasukabe, if she can't win she might as well surrender. This way there won't be any serious consequences."
"And also, have you forgotten about the participation rules?
—[Those that possess the [Host Master] privilege, must show their identification before becoming a participant.]
—[Participants are unable to use the [Host Master] privilege]
—[People aside from participants are unable to enter the festival area.]
It would be quite intriguing if the enemy could appear even with all those rules set......But there is no sign of that happening now."
"That's right." Asuka replied, but her problems did not just stem from this.
With her sights wandering around, naturally it would land on the faerie.
If what was discussed last night was true, that meant that the pointy-hatted faerie was related to this. Asuka kept trying to keep away the thoughts about her bringing trouble to the community just by bringing someone back.
When Asuka felt the anxiety, the pointy-hatted faerie puzzledly tilted her head.
"Asuka~?"
".....It's nothing, don't be worried."
Although she abruptly denied it, her anxious expression clearly showed otherwise. The pointy-hatted faerie worriedly lifted her head to look at Asuka.
No matter what Asuka thought, the competition would still go on.
The sun had finally risen and Kuro Usagi went to the stage to announce the start of the game. She breathed in deeply, then smiled sweetly to the crowd that was surrounding her.
"Sorry for the wait, everyone! The [Duel of the Creators] match begins now! The referee for today will be [Thousand Eyes] exclusive, everyone's favorite Kuro Usagi, to serve everyone today♪"
After Kuro Usagi smiled towards everyone, the crowd erupted into cheers, even the stage was shaking.
"WOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH The moon rabbit really came AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Kuro Usagi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I came here just to see you WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"
"Today I will peep underneath your skirt AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The crowd was displaying extraordinarily strong enthusiasm, today.
Although Kuro Usagi was still smiling, her rabbit ears were on end, clearly afraid.
She must've felt some kind of unspeakable danger.
"..................................................................Kuro Usagi sure is warmly welcomed."
In the midst of the fanatical cheers, there was an especially conspicuous signboard that was written with "L.O.V.E Kuro Usagi❤"
Asuka stared at the crowd with cold eyes as if they were kitchen waste.
(Is this counted as a culture out of Japan....It's quite difficult to accept what is happening...)
Truthfully, Kuro Usagi was indeed cute. This Asuka couldn't object to.
Hearing the roars from the crowd, Izayoi suddenly remembered something important.
"Oh yeah, Shiroyasha. What is the meaning of making Kuro Usagi's miniskirt so that you think you can see, yet you can't see? This kind of subtlety stuff has been outdated already! Didn't we discuss the exploration of the true art yesterday, in the end you only have this kind of extent?"
"You are discussing that topic? Are you both crazy?"
The comment made by Asuka didn't go through neither of their ears.
Shiroyasha removed the binoculars from her eyes, and looked at Izayoi unhappily. She was clearly showing a disappointed face towards her soul-mate.
"Heeh, so you are that kind of man with that extent, right? And you dare to say those words? It feels like you are no different than those men there. And I thought you would understand true art."
".....Oh? You really said it. In other words, there is a reason behind the art of hiding the contents of the skirt?"
Of course. Shiroyasha nodded. She kept her usual imposing manner and started explaining:
"Use your brain a bit. What is the source behind human's power? Is it ero? There is some sense in it. However, the power of imagination will sometimes exceed this factor! The expectations of the uncharted territory! From ignorance to clear desire! Kid! Don't think about experiencing the greatest art if you are like the rest of the men! From here onwards, you will come across the mysteries of the [Unknown]! Let me give an example! Such as the mysterious Mona Lisa that gives out a beautiful mystique! The mystique that Venus of Milo gives out with her missing arms! The mystique of the sight underneath a girl's skirt! These mysterious things have an overwhelming desire to explore the heart, at the same time the bitterness of not taking a closer look! This bitterness will raise the sublimation in your heart! So the best art in this entire world is hidden——IN THE UNIVERSE IN YOUR HEART!!!"
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG!(Sound effect intended)
The extremely suitable sound effect intimidated Izayoi.
"What....Did you say...........The universe in our heart......?"
Izayoi who was still not well-versed in the new realm was hit hard.
Someone else looking at Shiroyasha, explaining about the contents of the miniskirt in such fanaticism, was Sandra, who received an even greater shock.
"Shi.......Shiroyasha-sama.......? Did you eat anything wrong.....?"
"Sandra, don't look, you'll catch their stupidity."
Mandra gently covered Sandra, who was looking uneasy, with an attitude that did not care about anything else.
However his gaze was cold and sharp.
Shiroyasha didn't care at all. Any cold and sharp gaze meant for she, who was pursuing true art was neither painful nor itchy at all. Shiroyasha held her fist tightly, concluding her final words:
"That's right! True art lies in the universe within your heart! Contents of the skirt are also the same! What is seen when exposed are vulgar panties —[It's art if you can't see it]!"
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!(Sound effect intended)
Shiroyasha was extremely suited to making sound effects.
She didn't feel shameful with all those stares, she was just a person who was pursuing the truth behind romance. Straightening her body and staring at Izayoi, she handed the binoculars in her right hand to the person who she deemed a worthy opponent, Izayoi.
"Now, use these binoculars and confirm the truth behind this world, young brave one! I believe that you'll understand true art really soon."
".....Heh! Since I was provoked by the former Demon Lord, of course I will not reject......!"
Izayoi took one of the binoculars, and both of them started zooming in on Kuro Usagi's skirt.
To not miss the chance of a lifetime.
Asuka decided to treat both of them as air. This was also out of Japan, the culture belonging to Little Garden. She firmly believed that someday she would have to widen her eyes and view things that were simply too hard to understand.
