外伝：俺たちは自由にやる！！ (Part10)
They danced tap with ghosts, played 'Which Way Are You Looking?' with heroes, wrestled with Demon Lords, ate takoyaki with aliens, reported magical girls to the police for noise complaints, expertly grilled dinosaurs, went to the past and created legendary sword saints, and fought and defeated an omniscient and omnipotent god with their fists.
These are the four.
"I'll get my revenge!"
Facing such abnormalities, Yamata no Orochi continued to fight, earning praise from the gods observing the situation, but the outcome, as expected from the start, ended in defeat. Before they knew it, they had escaped the otherworld, and the abandoned school had become a vacant lot.
"Crap, the school's gone," Shin muttered, gazing at the school that had become a vacant lot, while Ya-no-ji worried about how to resolve the situation.
"What are we gonna do?!"
Shin-no-ji said, "Well, given that fight, it can't be helped."
"It *can* be helped!"
No, considering the scale, it couldn't be helped, but that wasn't what Ya-no-ji meant.
"Well, it happens a lot, right? In school ghost stories, you escape and the school collapses," Takaya offered.
"It ha... no, it doesn't!!"
"See, it's a common trope in movies, isn't it?"
"Not in reality!! An abandoned school becoming a vacant lot overnight, that doesn't happen!!" Ya-no-ji desperately denied Takaya's explanation. "If we don't do something, we'll be criminals!! Get that straight!!"
"Ah, that's bad. But there's a perfect party involved, isn't there?" Takaya said.
"Huh? ...Hey, don't tell me..." Ya-no-ji's face froze at Takaya's words.
"That man and woman standing dumbfounded over there!! It's definitively clear that they were more involved than us!! In fact, *we're* the victims!!"
"That's some amazing logic, hey!?"
"So, let's run!!"
"Oh!"
"Got it."
Saying that, the three left Ya-no-ji behind and quickly ran off.
"No, wait!!"
"Hey, Ya-no-ji. Take me with you too, I've used up all my strength and can't move," Yamata no Orochi said.
"If I carry you, *I'll* get caught!! You're naked, naked!!"
"Don't worry. I'll back you up if you get stopped by the police. If you leave me here, I'll tell them Ya-no-ji assaulted me."
"Don't mess with me!! Damn it!! When I grow up, I'm definitely going to live a relaxed life!! I'm never getting involved with women. I'll live a peaceful life alone!! I'm not getting married!!" Ya-no-ji shouted that, then picked up Yamata no Orochi and started running.
"...Ya-no-ji. You look like you'll have about twenty wives in the future," Yamata no Orochi mused.
"No way!! I don't need them!! If I could, I'd live modestly with one cute wife!!"
And so, Ya-no-ji and Yamata no Orochi disappeared, leaving only the nominal person in charge.
"...What are you going to do?"
"...Put me in prison. I'm tired."
"Idiot, there's no reason to arrest you anymore. All the victims are alive again and have no memories. There's no evidence."
Indeed, all those who had been victims had safely returned to their original places. How did they do it? Don't worry, since those four did it, the details don't matter. If you try to understand, you'll only find plot holes.
Then, the morning sun peeked over the mountain's edge, and at the same time, the sound of sirens approached.
"Ah, what should I say to explain this..." She racked her brain, wondering how to resolve the situation from now on.
"We bring you a special news report. Late last night, an incident occurred in which an abandoned school in XX Prefecture, XX, was dismantled in an instant. There was no explosion sound, and no victims, so it is believed to be a natural collapse..."
While listening to such a vaguely familiar news report, the four boys gathered around a table, spreading out a map.
"Hey, where to next?" Shin asked.
"Hmm. Yesterday was the mountains, so maybe the sea?" Takaya suggested.
"Well, that's a good balance," Shin-no-ji agreed.
"It's not good!! Let's rest!! Let's spend the rest of summer vacation relaxing at home!!" Ya-no-ji protested.
"No way," Takaya said.
"You have no romance. Don't you want to go on an adventure?" Shin pressed.
"Shut up!! How many miraculous adventures do you think I've been on already?!"
"Oh, how about this? An island where pirate treasure sleeps," Shin-no-ji pointed out.
"That's it!!" Shin and Takaya exclaimed.
"I'm definitely not going!!" Ya-no-ji declared.
And so, the four's days continued. Now, what kind of adventure awaits them next...?
Chapter 243: It Happens More Often Than You'd Think. End
Well then, how was this glimpse into Yuki's student days? Through these experiences, he became an adult who could calmly deal with such abnormalities years later. (Irony)
Shin was good at making friends.
Takaya had various knowledge, strategies, and thoughts.
Shin-no-ji handled the fighting.
Yuki learned how to make retorts and handle post-incident cleanup himself, leading him to become the Yuki we know.
Yuki calls his three best friends "Story Breakers" and wishes they would never come to the world of "Certain Victory Dungeon." If they came, they would unify the world in three days, subjugate all monsters in five days, connect Earth with a bypass in seven days, and solve the magic depletion in ten days. Leaving all the post-incident cleanup to someone else.
By the way, Luna's memory manipulation has absolutely no effect on these three or their acquaintances. Well, since they're the kind of guys who can defeat not just high-ranking gods but even an omniscient and omnipotent god, it's useless. If Luna were to be found out by them, Arowlith would collapse in a different sense, so she goes to great lengths to keep it a secret. Well, they would come if Yuki just called their names... However, the "Certain Victory Dungeon Story" would collapse, and Yuki wouldn't call them unless it was absolutely necessary. Or rather, if he called them, Yuki would be surrounded by wives, so he would definitely be teased. He would have to be prepared for incriminating photos to be taken and spread among his acquaintances, so rest assured, he will absolutely not call them.
And so, Shin and the others' story is one where they crush unreasonableness with even greater unreasonableness. They danced tap with ghosts, played 'Which Way Are You Looking?' with heroes, wrestled with Demon Lords, ate takoyaki with aliens, reported magical girls to the police for noise complaints, expertly grilled dinosaurs, went to the past and created legendary sword saints, and fought and defeated an omniscient and omnipotent god with their fists. The stories in the above sentences are true. If you want to read any of them, please write it in the comments.
Well then, everyone, go on an adventure!!
