Chapter 161: For Whom We do Our Best (For a Fee) Part 2
Pencilgton says so and then laughs.
That gesture might have looked marvelous if it was her real appearance, but right now she was her last avatar from Galaxia Heroes, a female character wearing a trench coat and a huge TV display instead of her head.
It look weird, to say the least.
Incidentally, her facial expression was a pixelated human head, switching in between various emotions.
But how does it know when to switch to what emotion Some sort of sensors Or maybe a program
When Natsume-san heard the word “cosplay” she cocked her head as if asking what was that about, and Pencilgton continued to speak, poison dripping out of her tongue almost all the time.
「Good You see, the purpose of the Exhibition Match is to show the public whats the game is like and what is its strong points.
So its not important to win or lose, but to be as much entertaining as it can possibly get for all the audience out there in the stands or over the Internet.]
「That is why this thing is not really a battle, but more like an entertainment.
It is something on a completely different level.]
Natsume-san leans forward, as if being drawn in by Pencilgtons poisonous words.
That was the end for her.
She took the bait.
And once Pencilgton gets her hand on someone, they are going to be her puppet for as long as she wants them to be.
「So, how can we possibly fulfill both our own ambitions and the overall purpose of the Exhibition Match]
Well, this time around were going to have our work cut out for us.
「It wont actually be playing games for that time.
It will be more like a high-end TV Drama all that time…… If not something even bigger.]
––––––

「Now, then……]
There is a whole lot of work that needs to be done, and something tells me that none of the task before us would be easy.
If the battle against Wezaemon was a fight that overwhelmed a single blade called “Sanraku”, this battle was going to over-exhaust multitude of blades this time around.
Even one person is enough to make the gears of fate start turning, and if you add someone like Pencilgton to the equation, it suddenly turns out that a party of three of ours might as well be able to defy the virtual gods, kick the fabric of reason to the curb and go beyond whats considered impossible.
Honestly, it would be better for us to find a way to win.
Sure, our opponents are American that are consider to be the best in the entire world, but its not like we didnt beat the impossible odds before.
Like the battle against Night Prowler, for example.
However, surely in the eyes of others like Natsume-san the path we have chosen for ourselves is an unnecessarily thorny one.
Surely in their eyes we are nothing more but a trio of idiots.
「Hm」
I know it is Katsu were talking about here, but lets send him an e-mail.
「Why is that Well……」
Why would they even do that
The answer was send back to him in form of two rather short emails.
Subject: Re: Why
From: Sanraku
To: Modorokatsu
Body: Werent you going to take this event seriously Thats the sole reason you wanted us in on the action So youd better not think of backing away now.
If everything goes well, youre treating us all to yakiniku.
Subject: Re: Why
From: Pencil Warrior
To: Modorokatsu
Body: Its important for you to face off against Sylvia, right That is also the reason why Onee-san decided to take a break from her busy schedule and come here in the first place.
And guess what, we are going to actually wear cosplay!
If all goes well, youre gonna treat us all to sushi.
「…… Even though I already paid for all their accommodations and fees, huh」
All this time Kei felt a whole variety of emotions: fear, sadness, anxiety and loneliness.
But somehow, the words of his friends trying to squeeze even more money out of him…… he felt really grateful for that.
He then threw his mobile terminal back on the bed.
When it comes to personal motivation, the RwH 6 tournament was pretty low on the ladder, but if his friends were encouraging him to do his best, what other choice he had but to actually go there and do his best
「Its alright, I dont have a clue what a Cream Puff Cult exercise is, but it means that I have to wrap this thing up quickly and go back to work!」
Now knowing what he needed to do, Kei decided to boot up the device in his room and sink into the depths of Virtual Reality.
