Hello!

This is the part-time beautiful girl (fake)!

I’m still an apprentice beautiful girl, but I’ll do my best!

Osu! Yuu!

“Kei-kun, are you dressed yet?”
“Yes. It’s surprisingly easy to move in this.”

Right now, I’m enjoying the joy of labor.

In other words, I’m working part-time in a costume at an amusement park.

“They say that if you have the physical ability of an Explorer, it should be fine. But for regular folks, it seems quite difficult to move in,” she says.
“Wow. It’s just a bear costume, and it’s hard to move in?”

I step left and right to show off my moves.

For me, who is used to beautiful girl role-playing, playing a bear at the amusement park is a piece of cake.

I’m in a role where I do pop and cute movements next to Miroku-senpai, who is holding balloons.

As soon as we step outside into the crowd, children rush toward us.

Look, future beautiful girls! Come gather around! ^^

“Thank you, big sister!”
“Hehe, enjoy yourselves!”

I hand over the balloons, and Miroku-senpai gives a wonderful smile to the children, as usual.
You might want to stop that, though; when you give that smile to a little boy, things can get broken. A beautiful girl’s smile is almost a weapon.

“Bear-san!”
“Welcome to Waku Waku Hinotsuchi Land! I hope you have fun!”

In that regard, I’m just a bear!
There’s no need to worry about distorting my preferences!

So, boys, gather over here.
Girls, head over to Miroku-senpai.

Still, this is my first time doing a part-time job in a costume, and thinking about dealing with the onslaught of children might mean Explorers are more suited for physical labor.

Miroku-senpai also looks great in this cute staff outfit from the amusement park.
…I see, black tights, huh?
I might consider adopting that as a new mysterious outfit.

‘■■■■■’

No, white doesn’t fit your image.
Because Sorciera still carries darkness in her heart.

A white costume is something to wear after having a couple of events that fill the gaps in one’s heart.
A character like Sorciera shouldn’t wear one from the beginning.

“…Kei-kun?”
Once the children leave, Miroku-senpai calls out to me.

Oh no, I got too caught up in talking about the Star Reader’s staff.

“It’s nothing, Hinot.”
“Getting into character like this is surprisingly fitting for you,” she remarks.
“I’ll leave it to you, Hinot!”

If it’s role-playing, leave it to me.

“That said, don’t push yourself too hard, okay? We’ll be moving to another plaza soon.”
“I’ll do my best, Hinot!”

Today’s shift is until the evening.

After that, I hear another staff member will take over.

Well, there’s no way I’m staying in such a dangerous place until nightfall.

I know.

There’s a facility for experiments involving the fusion of dungeons and humans, commonly known as the Ouroboros laboratory, underneath this “Waku Waku Hinotsuchi Land.”

During the day, it operates as an amusement park, but at midnight, it conducts illegal experiments using the magic power absorbed from the visitors.

Of course, this is one of the enemy locations for the Tohra-kun and his party.

I can’t help but worry about Miroku-senpai, who’s been working here for nearly three months in such a dangerous place. But I suppose it’s just as hard to find a completely clean place in this academy city.

I heard that even the convenience store where I work was involved in the black market dealing of dungeon cores.

So, all I can do is be careful not to get caught up in any dangerous situations.
And not get involved in the original story.

Once you get involved with the original, you might get caught up in dangerous events instantly.
Here, it’s up to me, who knows the original story, to protect Miroku-senpai.

“Oh, by the way, they said you could go around as you please from the evening. Maybe because it’s your first day working here, Kei-kun.”
“I’m so happy, Hinot~!”

It’s complicated.

I like amusement parks, and I can’t dismiss such goodwill.
More importantly, this feeling indicates that Miroku-senpai will be joining me for the rounds.

A beautiful girl at the amusement park?
Then, of course, the other partner must also be a beautiful girl!

There’s no way a boy can come to the amusement park with a beautiful girl!
If I see such a delinquent, I’ll smack them with my fluffy bear hands!

And speaking of that, I immediately spotted them!
Boys and beautiful girls should never mix!!
Moreover, a boy with two beautiful girls!?

I only acknowledge yuri in harem situations!

“—Can I have one too?”
“Yes, here you go!”

The girls approach Miroku-senpai and ask for a balloon.

With a smile as if she’s seeing something heartwarming, Miroku-senpai hands over a balloon.

Huh?????
I feel like I’ve seen this trio before…

A refreshing black-haired handsome boy, a light blue half-up twin-tailed girl, and a silver-haired loli girl…

“Thanks. By the way… is it okay to cut this?”
“Absolutely not, Lurta!”

Gyaaaaaaaaaa!
It’s the original protagonist’s party again!

Why…
They’re already coming over from the original story!

Isn’t that too early!?
In terms of the timeline, aren’t they supposed to arrive here a bit later!?

“Then, is it okay to cut this bear?”
“That’s even more off-limits!?”
“…Welcome to Waku Waku Hinotsuchi Land! There’s nothing you can cut here, I swear.”
“…It’s definitely better not to cut you.”

I bend down and give a warning to Lurta.
Seriously, stop it.

Don’t start any trouble.
Your trouble might directly lead to original story events.

And aside from that… nice to meet you! Lurta-chan!

Looking at you like this, you’re tiny and cute!
Big sister (self-claimed) will specially give you some candy.

“I’m handing out candy to good children, Hinot!”
“Can I have some?”
“Of course, Hinot!”
“…Thank you.”

As I hand over the candy, Lurta-chan thanks me without any expression.
However, it’s likely she just can’t manage her expressions; I can tell she’s probably happy inside.

“I didn’t know you’re still handing out candy. I got some when I was little.”
“I might be hearing this for the first time.”

As Lurta-chan looks on, Mihaya-chan and Tohra-kun express their thoughts.
It seems this bear has been giving out candy for quite some time…

No wonder this costume has so many pockets.

“Here’s some for the two of you, Hinot.”
“Is it really okay? Thank you!”
“Well, I’ll take one then.”

While handing candy to the two of them, I asked with a cute movement.

“Are you three out for a day out today, Hinot?”
“…Yeah. Lurta said she wanted to go to the amusement park.”

I’m glad it seems to be a normal outing.
Lurta-chan does love going out.

“Is that so, Hinot! I hope you enjoy yourselves, Hinot! Hino Hino Hino!”
“Was that really how you laugh…?”

Oh, I see.
I thought today might happen to be the day of the “destroy the experimental facility at this amusement park” event.

Phew, what a relief.

“Well then, enjoy yourselves, Hinot~!”

By the way, during that event, a sub-heroine who betrayed the evil organization ends up being fused with the Ouroboros as a warning.

If today were that day, working part-time would be out of the question, and I’d have to escape with Miroku-senpai while still in this costume.

Well, if it’s not, then it’ll just be an ordinary shift.

Alright, let’s focus on delivering dreamlike moments to the future beautiful girls! ^^

■

Observing the candy she received, Mihaya held it up in front of her Dive Gear naturally.

“…Seems safe enough.”
“Wait, is there something in this candy?”

Tohru, who had already put it in his mouth, froze at Mihaya’s actions.

“There wasn’t a problem with this, but if this amusement park is being used to collect magic power, there’s a chance these kinds of things have been tampered with, right?”
“That’s true…”

Tohru recalls the bear costume they encountered at the entrance.
It seemed popular among the kids, with its cheerful movements.

“I don’t want to think about it. That big sister and bear could be bad guys, too.”
“Most of them are probably just hired regular folks and students, right?”

Saying that, Mihaya pops the candy into her mouth.

“Let’s quickly find Rinka and the others.”
“Hey, why do you sound like we’re investigating this?”
“Dude, I don’t want to be killed for nothing.”

Waku Waku Hinotsuchi Land was on a strict lookout for Explorers.
And while the actual underground research facility hadn’t been activated yet, it was best to head out for the time being.

“Let’s go look for them, Mihaya.”
“Got it!”

As Tohru and Mihaya dashed out, Lurta didn’t leave the candy in her hand.
“I’ll eat it later,” she decided.

They moved quickly through the crowds, avoiding being seen as suspicious.

“I wonder if Rinka and the others have arrived yet.”
“Maybe they’ll find us soon?”
“Or maybe the bear is waiting for us!”
“Why does it feel like the bear is going to summon us?”

With thoughts about the bear who’d handed them the candy still on their minds, the trio made their way to the entrance of the amusement park.
A cheerful, fluffy bear was there, waving at them.

“Come, children! Welcome to Waku Waku Hinotsuchi Land!”
