[Endex Mysterious Plush Bear Prosecutor]

On Friday morning, at 07:35:33 AM to be exact, a video was uploaded to YouTube.

It was a video of Endex’s ‘5-star prospect’ being broken by a mysterious prosecutor.

“What is this? It’s embarrassing. You idiot. and… … . “It’s so deliciously shattered.”

Kane laughed as if he was dumbfounded. This damn video was soon posted on YouTube, and quickly spread to almost all communities.

“Ah, but it was so different?”

Escher grabbed his head and glared.

“If you join, you lose too, you idiot.”

“Was it like active duty?”

“… … I guess so. I’m not even a college student. “At least 4th place.”

Definitely active duty.

No, but isn’t this a busy time for active duty workers? There are a lot of dungeons and everything these days. Why do you have to come to the Endex Festival and make a fuss?

“Fuck fourth place. So, what are you going to do?”

“… … “I’m going to take down the video first.”

I already told my father’s company’s legal team.

If these malicious videos spread, your image may suffer in the future. How important is article branding these days? If you want to sell signature shoes, swords, armor, etc., videos like this must be taken down.

“Whether you get off or not. Hey, when was the Elise play?”

Kane asked. Escher also looked at his watch.

“… … It starts at 7, so there are 7 hours left. ah… … But who the hell are you? “To be honest, this is my first time meeting such a master.”

“Aren’t you a slob?”

“Oh shit. really.”

Escher glared at Kane. Kane averted his gaze.

“You were a real expert? If you get hit, go straight to the goal, you idiot. Can’t you tell from the video? “Take a look yourself.”

Escher showed his smartphone.

Right from the first attack, it felt strange, like a snake. It was obviously very slow, but it suddenly became faster.

“Honestly, I let my guard down when it came to this sword of change?”

“It seems so.”

“But fucking watch this.”

What’s next?

It wasn’t just a joke.

It was ‘real’.

His guard was completely shattered by just one kick. He was completely out of timing and had no time to react.

It is literally a high-handed skill.

A master who creates and develops his own swordsmanship.

“It looks like that… … But do I think I’ll win?”

“Ah, you bastard, you were really annoying me earlier-”

“uh? hey. “There was a comment.”

At that time, Kane opened his eyes wide.

“What a comment.”

“look.”

I showed Escher the comment window.

[Verios: Oho]

Berrios. He is Edsilla’s second-ranked article and a large YouTuber with 5.8 million subscribers. Among the many famous knights on the continent, a man who can be called a superstar.

What happens when a celebrity like this comments on a video?

The number of views is skyrocketing~

“… … Ah, why is this person like this——!!!!”

Escher screamed.

The last day of the festival, Friday.

Endex is gorgeous everywhere. Tourists, lovers, friends, and college students who came from far away to play or just to see the place visited every nook and cranny of Endex, and the students sought their attention and pocketbook with all kinds of solicitations.

In this way, the large grounds of Endex were filled with a completely festive atmosphere, but Elise did not show the slightest interest.

I have no intention of enjoying the festival, nor do I have time.

With six hours left until the play, final rehearsals are in full swing at the Palette Theater.

The ticket price is 60 ren, which is quite expensive for a high school festival play.

However, everything was sold out, and even scalpers were snapping up the good seats. Libra’s Jade played a big role.

Elise was curious.

By any chance, would his father come to see him too?

“Whoa… … .”

Thinking about that made her more and more nervous, so she took a deep breath. Nowadays, mind control is more important than practice. Soothe your mind and body peacefully… … .

─What?!! No, what do you mean?!!!

A sharp sound rang out from the back of the theater. It was a shout that sounded like a glass window shattering. The actors, including Elise, also turned to look in that direction. He was the main staff member in charge of sound.

Elise narrowed her eyes.

“Thank you. The peace that was barely regained was-”

“Big trouble, big trouble! Mr. Elise!”

The staff came running almost screaming. Only then did Elise realize that something was unusual.

“Mill, miller!”

“Shh. “Don’t make a fuss, but speak slowly.”

Elise calmed the staff down.

I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s not very nice to see people making such a fuss.

“Miller got into a car accident on the way here!”

“I beg your pardon?!”

Elise’s eyes widened. A loud sound that I didn’t know came from the danjeon.

“… … Hmm.”

She looked around and cleared her throat.

“What does that mean?”

“Me too, I just got a text message too!”

The staff showed the screen on their smartphone. There were pictures of the car being horribly crushed and Miller being taken to the emergency room.

“… … “I’ll take the subway or something.”

Elise gritted her teeth. Suddenly she had a headache. Miller, Miller, Miller. I repeated the name and looked around the theater.

“… … .”

The eyes of all actors and staff were focused on him. They just blinked blankly, clutching the script.

“how… … Shall we do it?”

One of the staff asked Elise. Raye, who was always innocent, also came with a worried look on her face.

“… … Ellie. What should I do? Are we screwed?”

“It’s ruined… … ha.”

Elise eventually sighed. The back of her head was hot. She felt like she had been betrayed something big, and it felt like if she lit her match, it would burst into flames.

“What are you doing?”

Miller plays the role of the Duke, the second most important role after the main character. If he is absent, the play cannot proceed.

Because it is a ‘spoiler character’ acknowledged by the writer, Sion Askal.

There is no solution in sight.

“The play… … .”

I have to cancel.

She couldn’t finish her sentence. Her eyes closed as she looked at the script clutched in her hands.

I worked really hard.

At first it was because of Sermones Laeterni, but as time went by, a real passion developed.

I tried my best, even giving up on tutoring. All those long hours of effort only ended up in an accident… … .

──At that moment.

“What are you worried about?”

A voice that comes from somewhere and seems to be insignificant.

Elise looked back at that place. Sion Askal was leaning against the wall of the Palette Theater.

“How much will I lose if I quit this play? “I just have to do it.”

When did he appear again? Why does it suddenly appear and say something strange?

Elise shook her head as if she was frustrated.

“… … You don’t even know the script you wrote. “What are you going to do without the Duke?”

I can’t recruit someone right away. Duke requires not only acting skills but also appropriate Latinel knowledge. Not only does I have to do about 30 seconds of Latinel humming, but I also have to mix in several Latinel words between the lines.

“uh. As you said. “It’s a script I wrote.”

Zion came up on stage. He said while digging my ear.

“So I can do it.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t that so?”

Elise looked at him. His eyes were carefree. He was easy-going and he was full of himself.

But it wasn’t an appropriate answer.

“Whether you wrote the script or who wrote it, it has nothing to do with acting. “The acting is similar to Latinelle’s”

“are you okay.”

Zion Askal. This musical, which has already become an unprecedented hit, is in his head.

I thought about it several times while writing the play script myself.

To him, rumination was not ordinary rumination.

“You can do well.”

He remembers all the performances of those actors at that time.

Since you remember it, you can follow along.

“instead.”

“… … instead?”

Elise frowned. What is Daesin? It’s a play we do together.

Shion took a step closer and whispered softly.

─After the play is over. Yes, lend me 10 minutes.

Elise trembled. Goosebumps rose on my earlobes. My back felt scary.

“Are you crazy?”

I quickly wiped my ears first. Swish swish- swish-

“… … .”

Shion looked at her and looked worried for a moment.

Should I speak or not? I was thinking while stroking my chin.

“… … There is a force trying to kidnap you during the festival. So, either cancel the tour of the Magic Tower, or if you are going, add a lot of escort drivers to the sedan.”

“You sound like a psychopath.”

“I thought you wouldn’t believe it. This is why all problems arise. Even if I try to help, they don’t believe me.”

“Are you a thug?”

Even though she said that, Elise actually seemed to know.

What does he want from himself and what else does he want?

It’s not that it’s not, it’s a situation that Elise is very familiar with.

In such cases, of course I know how to respond and how to use it.

“good. 10 minutes.”

It meant lending 10 minutes. Then Zion also breathed a sigh of relief.

This idiot is strangely honest at times like this. So it gives me even more goosebumps.

“Instead, the play must be successful. “You could completely ruin this play.”

“Like that.”

Just then a staff member came up. As if he thought the conversation was over, he handed the script to Shion.

“Hey, here’s the script.”

“ah. You don’t need a script. I memorized it all. “Because I wrote it.”

Next, other staff members came rushing up to the stage. They professionally checked Zion’s facial appearance, hair, clothing, skin condition, eye condition, etc.

“Then let’s go get a haircut first. “Because there’s a hair shop I know nearby.”

“Why is your head-”

“It’s dirty.”

“hmm… … .”

Shion played with his hair. She grew up a bit dirty.

Well, it’s been almost three months since I shaved.

“I think the stage costume length needs to be shortened a bit. Or should I wear some insoles?”

“I have another costume. Do you think that would be more suitable? “Sion, you look surprisingly good.”

“what? “Is it a compliment or an insult?”

“Let’s go quickly. I think I need to take a shower first… … .”

The staff took Shion somewhere while discussing things as they pleased.

Elise looked around at the actors who were quite confused. Among them, Sasha, a college student, asked worriedly.

“Elise. Will it be okay? We practiced for two weeks… … . I’ll be honest. “I have my career on the line, so if he ruins the play, it would be fatal.”

Elise also felt the same way.

A man who is too unreliable to be trusted, and who sometimes shows a pitiful side to not be trusted.

“There is no alternative.”

Above all, there is nothing I can do about it now.

She shrugged and muttered.

“believe. “At least Ratinelle, that person is the best here.”

I don’t know anything else, but this much is certain.
