落とし穴１２３堀：夏休みの計画 (Part2)
"No, if I don't do it first, summer vacation usually involves trouble or long trips, so I won't have time," Yuki explained.
"Ah, so you mean you often went on trips?"
"...Well, something like that."
With our plans decided, we all began to prepare. This was also an opportunity to invite others.
For example, the homebodies.
"Eh? Go out to the sea or go fishing in this sweltering heat? Hahaha, what are you talking about? That's something for people who've lost their minds. Don't we have something we should be doing first?"
This was Comet, who was originally a Dungeon Master like me, saying the most terrible thing with such confidence.
"Ho ho. And what is it that we should be doing?"
"Hahaha. Yuki, you always joke around. Well, since you asked, I have to answer."
Comet said this, took something out of his pocket, and held it up towards us.
"It's Pokémon! The summer tournament is starting! We need to strive for improvement to raise our ratings, don't we? In a cool, air-conditioned room with cold juice! Oh, and of course, we'll play the new game too. You know, the new Gundam net battle game is coming out, right?"
As if to counter the opinion of some jaded adult, or rather, some shut-in idiot, Hifi, who had come to see what was happening, immediately snatched the 3DS from Comet.
Suddenly, Comet's expression changed. It was natural, of course, since his precious partner's game was taken away...
"Hey!? D-Don't touch me! Hifi, you have a history! Absolutely don't touch it!"
Ah, this is bad.
Comet was about to go berserk.
It seemed Hifi had indeed used the extreme measure of resetting on the spot whenever she encountered a shiny Pokémon multiple times.
Each time, Comet had apparently cried himself to sleep.
I would have been utterly drained too.
And now, Hifi had taken the game console itself, with the software, from him.
At worst, he might face the nightmare of losing everything.
So, I quickly took the 3DS from Hifi and returned it immediately.
"Th-thank goodness."
"Well, since I gave it back, listen to me. It's not that I don't play games. I do that at night. Isn't that when you feel more in the zone?"
"Hmm? I'm basically busy with work research during the day, so I do have some sense of proportion."
"That's right. In the morning, I have work to confirm the tourist routes."
"Ehh... If that's the case, you could have just honestly given me the day off..."
It was no use. I shouldn't have said that to someone so passionate about their hobbies.
"Hifi."
"Yes."
"Understood. If it's work, then it can't be helped. So, don't come any closer. You machine-illiterate person!"
Fugaa!! Comet snapped.
"Ah, then, how about we play Smash Bros. at night too?"
"Ah, we haven't decided which game to play yet, so you choose, Comet. Soel and the people from the academy will be coming too, so something that's beginner-friendly, okay?"
"Ooh, alright, then how about Dokapon?"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Taiki and I denied that possibility.
That game was known as a friendship-destroyer.
After inviting everyone, we then paid a visit to the facilities that might be inconvenienced.
I expected some rejection, but they told us it would be fine, as they had dealt with customers from Logari Continent for a long time, which was a great help.
"And lastly, it's you."
"Huh? Last what?"
The last place Taiki and I visited was the place of the useless goddess, Luna.
We had been troubled by her so many times before, so we decided to give her a warning.
"...So, customers from If Continent are coming, so absolutely do nothing."
"Ehh, what about the haunted house I made for these kinds of situations?"
"It's too stimulating. Besides, we just welcomed the cast and haven't finished organizing them. It won't be ready until around September."
"Boo hoo."
"Don't complain. Don't interfere. For now, I'll make you the person in charge for the September opening, so how about dividing it into 'a little scary,' 'scary,' and 'super scary' to cater to various demands from children to adults? The problem last time was that it was all lumped together, so that's why."
"Ah, now that you mention it, that's true."
"Think about that. Take Lilish and Nonoa with you and chat at the Weed cafe."
I said this and handed her money.
"Fufun. You understand well. It can't be helped. This super goddess will produce a wonderful haunted house. Well then, I'm off. I've wanted to try the food there."
With that, Luna disappeared from our sight.
"You always say you're busy, but you're quite free, aren't you, Luna-san?"
"Leave her be. It's like stirring up trouble for nothing."
Well then, shall we resume our preparations...
Raise your hand if you've properly planned and executed your summer vacation!
By the way, I've never had my plans go according to schedule.
Well then, everyone, enjoy your summer.
As for me, it's work. *Eyes rolling.*
