Episode 41 – Celebration

“Gghh ! It’s impossible for me, the demon king……to lose to a human ! !”

Boom.

“Too naive !”

Snap.

The Demon King’s sword is repelled by the brave Kanata, leaving a momentary gap.

“Kanata, now !”

“Take our power !”

“Defeat the Demon King—“

The three members of the party hold out their hands toward the heroes and share their full magical power.

Boooom

“Wow, I’m feeling so powerful…..”

A golden aura envelops the heroes’ bodies and they begin to shine brightly.

“Ugh, why is this human ! I’ll turn you and your comrades to dust with my special move–Death the Crusher !”

“–It’s true that I might have lost if I had been alone. But you know what, Demon King? I have irreplaceable comrades ! Together with these guys…..I won’t lose to anyone ! ! Secret technique–Seven Vanishments.”

The hero and the Demon King’s blows collide, and the field of vision is enveloped in a complete blank—-

★

“Okay, this is the end of all the cuts ! Thank you everyone for your hard work〜”

「「「「Thanks for your hard work〜〜! 」」」」

The tension on the set was broken up by the sound director’s voice, and the scene was wrapped.

“Phew…..”

I managed to get it done,

I patted my chest in relief.

The last episode of the fall anime “Ore Kano” was being recorded today.

We had just completed the post recording of the final scene of the fierce battle with the Demon King, and the sound director had given the OK, so our work was done here.

Now all I have to do is wait and trust that the production company will make it into the best anime possible.

And after this–

“–Thank you for your hard work ! I’m Ryoga from Aono Enterprises. Thank you for letting me play with you in this.”

“Ryoga kun, good work. If we meet again on the set, don’t be so shy to ask me anything〜”

“Thank you very much.”

Okay, now the greetings to the co-starring voice actors and staff are almost complete.

All that’s left is……

“Waa !”

“Whoa.”

A sudden whisper in my ear makes me back away.

Who’s that? Hm….

“Fufu, good work. Ryo kun.”

When I turned around in the direction of the voice, there was Shiorin with an expression on her face like a child who has successfully pulled a prank.

“Y-you too.”

She seems to be getting closer to me, or maybe it’s just my imagination.

But still, such a beautiful girl in a close-up……is too surreal, really.

“Take this !”

Gyuu

Suddenly, Shiorin’s arms are entwined around me.

“H-hey ! What are you doing?”

“Geez, I won’t let go until you stop using honorifics.”

Oh, shoot.

I was told to speak to her as a friend, but I just used honorifics out of habit,

“Good wo…no, great job. Shiori.”

“Yeah, you too. Ryo kun♪”

Finally, Shiori let go of my arm.

It would be really bad if people saw me, but…..well, everyone is still greeting each other, so I guess it’s okay.

“I’ve learned a lot this time. Thank you, Shiori.”

“I’m glad to hear you say so. But I also stole a lot from Ryo kun’s performance, so it’s a win-win, right?”

Again, with that lip service…..

Even though I thought of that, the corners of my mouth rose a little.

To be praised by Shiorin, I wonder if I’m getting a little better.

“Come to think of it, you will attend the next talk event, right, Ryo kun?”

“Right. Sigh…..”

I suddenly feel heavy. I remembered something unpleasant……

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I was wondering what to do with my own cosplay.”

After all, I managed to get Elena home after that, but I didn’t get very effective advice, I don’t know what to do…..

“Well then, how about I introduce you to a friend of mine?”

“Eh? R-really?”

“Yup♪she frequently attends cosplay events and makes her own costumes. I’m going to entrust her with the costumes for my next event. What do you think?”

G-goddess……. She is indeed a goddess.

“P-please. Can you have her make my costume, too?”

“Fufu, sure. –But I have one request in return.”

“R-request?”

M-money, huh. No, I’ve been getting a lot of work lately, so 10–no, if it’s up to 20……

“You don’t have to be so defensive. All I ask is that you have dinner with me afterwards.”

“Eh?”

What do you mean? Shiori having dinner with me?

Kuh, I don’t get it…….

“You don’t like it……?”

“No, it’s not like that. But is it okay with you if it’s me?”

“Geez, I want you, Ryo kun !”

M-me? The way she said it, it sounds like–

Poof

At that moment, a hand is placed on my shoulder.

This feeling is……

“Good work, Suda san.”

“Good work.”

“Hey ! You two, good work〜”

I turned around and I saw Suda san dressed in an aloha shirt and shorts. He looked the same as ever.

“Are you two going to the party after this? It looks like they’re at a delicious yakitori restaurant.”

Yakitori……

My throat rumbled.

“I-I’m going–I mean, I can’t go.”

“Eh, really?”

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

Calm down, I was about to make a mistake.

“I can’t go because I have something to do. I’m sorry, Suda san.”

“Oh no, Shiorin can’t go either ! Or, by any chance…..ah, I see! I understand now-“

Suda san looked like he knew something.

I have a bad feeling about this.

“……Suda san, aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

“No, I understand, Ryoga kun! I know exactly how you feel. I’ll put up a good word to Elena chan, okay?”

“No, why are you mentioning Elena…..”

“Now, now ! The two of you can take your time.”

Saying that, Suda san waved his hand and left.

……Well, whatever.

“Okay then, we’ll move to the party after this ! If you can come to the party, please gather in front of the studio.”

“Then, let’s go, too !”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

And so, Shiori and I left the studio.
