I moved forward slowly.
Magic Bunny’s Fantasy Land.
Everything had stopped, and it was dark.
A soundless amusement park was, in itself, more than enough to bring up terrifying imaginings.
All the more so when I was the one walking at the very front.
‘Hoo….’
Would it feel like this if I were dressed as a ghost and hiding inside a haunted house?
I found myself unsure whether to laugh or cry at the fact that I was disguised as Facility Security Team.
One thing was certain: the strange sense of security the mascot suit had given me was gone.
…There were pros and cons to that, but for the moment, the rise in tension couldn’t be helped.
[Ah, an infiltration in the middle of the night. What a thrilling and entertaining situation indeed!]
[And I very much wish to say this one more time. Earlier was truly a magnificent spectacle! A giant trap hunting a giant monster! Destruction is, after all, one of the primal joys. It was a most delightful sight to behold!]

At Brown’s voice coming through the receiver, I felt a familiar emptiness and a faint sense of relief.
‘Should I be thankful that at least you found it entertaining?’
I had promised the host inside the Ghost Story that it would be fun, so if he’d judged it boring, I would’ve been breaking out in a cold sweat.
And even aside from that, this situation was one in which I should have been glad and relieved.
Because it was proceeding exactly according to plan.
Splash.
The blue mascot following along at the very back.
No, someone who had taken off that mascot suit.
The moment I became conscious of him, goosebumps rose along my back, but at the same time, someone inside me let out a sigh of relief.
He was frightening, but at the same time, he felt like an army of a thousand.
‘Thank God we reached an agreement right before the Ceremony.’
At first, I had wanted to ask him to assault Magic Bunny’s zone the moment the theme park’s business hours ended.
To tell him to strike the red zone too and devour it while my resort was being attacked.
But if I had done that and the timing ended up off… it would have been a disaster if the blue mascot somehow got pushed back.
‘The two of them seem about evenly matched.’
I think the blue mascot had been maintaining…
