Let's change the camera angle for a moment.
This is not about the protagonist and villain who recently had a fight.
But...
Inside a luxurious black limousine car.
A certain heroine, Kaguya sat upright in the back seat, while Hayasaka sat next to her. She turned to her and said, "Hayasaka."
Hayasaka with a bored tone, "Yes, Kaguya-sama? Missing your dear fiancé, Eiji-sama and want me on your behalf to send a message to him to sleep with you or us tonight?"
"That's not it!" Kaguya looked away, blushing slightly. At the same time, she wondered what kind of image she had in Hayasaka's heart. Did she think her young lady was now obsessed with sex? Well, that was not entirely wrong.
"Tomorrow night... I heard there will be a big festival in the city park."
Hayasaka blinked her eyes, her expression unchanged. "Kaguya-sama probably means the summer fireworks festival. By the way, who did you hear it from?"
"Earlier at school, or rather at the student council office. Fujiwara-san told me excitedly about her summer fireworks plan."
"....."
I guessed it, it must be Chika Fujiwara. Other than Eiji, it was only an anomaly like her whose ramblings often affected a homely girl like Kaguya.
Hayasaka nodded and took out her cell phone to type something, "I've noted that to your to-do list for tomorrow night. Would Kaguya-sama like to order pizza or burgers and cold drinks for the occasion?"
"Not that!"
Wrong again, what do you really want, Kaguya-sama?
Please say it clearly and stop acting like a child who wants something from her parents.
Hayasaka was amused, she was surely just joking and knew what her young lady really wanted.
Kaguya's cheeks were still faintly flushed, "I... I want to go there."
"Go to the festival? Alone?"
"Of course not alone! It's not romantic and you think I'm single!? Hayasaka, stop playing dumb. I want to go... with Eiji."
She said the last part shyly.
Hayasaka winked a few times, then smiled wryly. "Kaguya-sama, want to go to the festival with her fiancé? That would be fun!"
"Hayasaka, I feel like you're making fun of me."
"That's just your feelings, Kaguya-sama. It's natural for a woman in love to have fun at the festival with her lover."
Hayasaka skillfully distracted her young lady.
And it worked, Kaguya panicked and activated her tsundere mode. "I... I just want to observe how 'ordinary people' enjoy the fireworks display! It's a study! And I heard, there will be a lot of couples there. So instead of going alone or with others, I'd rather go to a place like that with Eiji."
Hayasaka stifled a laugh, she pretended to be serious. "Of course, that 'study reason' makes sense. In that case, I will prepare everything Kaguya-sama needs for the occasion. For example, sexy underwear?"
A homely girl like Kaguya might not know, but couples at such festivals often did perverted things after the event ended.
Not only that, considering Eiji who was her boyfriend and the fiancé of her young lady was a very perverted man, she was almost 100% sure he would do it to Kaguya.
Kaguya's face as red as a tomato, she reacted like a virgin despite having had a threesome with her fiancé and maid.
"Don't go overboard! Just prepare my best yukata, and make sure the driver doesn't tell father!"
Speaking of her father, he must have known about Eiji. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to get her engaged to him.
From Gan'an's point of view, getting his daughter engaged to a man like Eiji must have greatly benefited the Shinomiya family.
That was sad. But Kaguya had never received affection from her parents, she did not think much of such things because she was used to it.
Instead of being sad, she was excited to go to the festival with Eiji. Even so, she felt embarrassed to let her father know her plans.
Hayasaka knew that and with a sigh, she put her cell phone back in her skirt pocket. "Alright, Kaguya-sama. The fireworks 'study' was launched and I've messaged Eiji-sama about it, he said 'Okay, how could I refuse a date invitation from my dear fiancé?'. Hopefully Kaguya-sama will get a lot of valuable data tomorrow night."
"Hayasaka, you...!"
Her maid continued to emphasize some words to tease her, Kaguya glared at her with embarrassment and anger.
But in the eyes of others, they looked like a pair of bickering sisters.
Hayasaka was passive, she let Kaguya shake her shoulders until her head was a little dizzy.
[How beautiful.]
Eiji's inner voice sounded.
The two beautiful girls were stunned.
What? What's beautiful?
Sometimes, they felt like Eiji knew what they were doing even though he wasn't with them.
...
In front of the entrance of an amusement park.
What Eiji meant by beautiful was actually not Kaguya and Hayasaka having a dog and cat fight. That scene was also beautiful, but he was not using his ability to peek at what they were doing elsewhere.
After agreeing to the invitation to go to the summer fireworks festival tomorrow night with Kaguya.
Right now, his gaze fell on a woman who was welcoming the visitors.
Her appearance was familiar. She had long wavy blonde hair, fair skin, blue eyes and the figure of a teenage girl clad in an elegant princess dress.
She was obviously a heroine he remembered from a certain anime.
It was really a coincidence, or perhaps his harem halo made him accidentally come to Amagi Brilliant Park.
"Wow, look at the park! It's bigger than I imagined." Hugging her boyfriend's arm, Mikan pointed to the magnificent entrance gate.
Actually, she was the reason why Eiji was able to find this place. A while ago, she had told her boyfriend about her desire to go to the amusement park that had been popular on the internet a few months ago.
"Yes, the number of visitors going in and out at this hour is also quite large."
[The plot seems to have been running long before I came.]
Eiji walked towards the entrance gate.
Mikan followed him with a confused expression.
Plot? What plot?
Then, she and the other heroines heard something that left them speechless.
[In the original work titled the same as the name of this amusement park, Amagi Brilliant Park. Before the protagonist with a name somewhat similar to mine was forced to become the general manager, this amusement park had very few visitors and was experiencing severe financial difficulties.]
[But from what I can see now, the protagonist seems to have shown his outstanding management skills and made Amagi Brilliant Park popular to the point that Mikan wants to come here.]
Another protagonist!
When Eiji says things like that, it means another protagonist and more heroines.
They were numb.
How many protagonists and heroines were there in this world?
Before long, Eiji bought an entrance ticket for two and received a welcome along with a group of other people who came with them.
"Hello, all of you! Welcome to Amagi Brilliant Park!"
"It's truly an honor to see the smiles on your faces today. We hope that your adventures here, in the magical land of Maple Land, will be filled with happiness and wonderful memories."
"Be sure to try all of our exciting rides, watch the charming performances of the Elementario fairies, and don't forget to say hello to Moffle and the rest of our mascot friends!"
"Enjoy your day to the fullest before the sun goes down! Your happiness is magic to us!"
The person who said all that was the woman Eiji had previously praised for her beauty.
It was Latifah Fleuranza. The other visitors did not know, but just like her appearance, she was a true princess from another world called Maple Land.
For some reason, she and her people were now displaced and managing Amagi Brilliant Park in the human world.
Latifah smiled gently with the posture of a noble lady, she had been doing so for almost half a day. I mean to warmly welcome the visitors who come.
Still, she was currently confused.
She had just heard a man's voice inside her head.
Did she get too tired and start having auditory hallucinations?
"Eiji, that girl really looks like a princess." Mikan said while glancing at Latifah.
Eiji did the same, "Yes, that's because she really is a princess."
Latifah's smile tightened slightly.
She turned her gaze on two people, one girl who was no less than her and a boy who was very handsome.
From the clothes they were wearing, they looked like high school students.
Still, what did one of them say?!
"Huh? Really?" Mikan became curious about Latifah's identity.
Actually, she suspected she was a heroine like herself.
And sure enough.
"Hmm... Which ride would you like to try first, Mikan?" Eiji changed the subject.
But his inner voice did the opposite.
[She really is a princess, or rather a princess from another world called Maple Land.]
[Don't be fooled by her teenage girl-like appearance, she's actually a grown woman who was hit by a curse.]
[It's a very tragic curse. Her memory and physique are "reset" every year, causing her to be trapped in the body and mind of a teenage girl who cannot age, and she cannot remember events that happened more than one year ago.]
[In the original work, she was a heroine. If I'm not mistaken, her name is Latifah. But damn, I forgot her last name.]
Does it matter?
You already know a lot about her!
Latifah was surprised, she now knew the voice she heard inside her head seemed to be Eiji's inner voice.
What surprised her the most was that he knew so much about her, especially her curse.
"We can try either one, but it would be great if someone gave us a recommendation." Mikan did not mean to gesture to Latifah.
"Take it easy, we have plenty of time and you can have as much fun as you want." Eiji said as he grasped her hand tighter.
Mikan felt sweet in her heart, they might not be going home tonight.
Meaning...
Poor Rito, his head was going to be heavier tonight.
"Welcome to our Tiramy's Flower Adventure ride area! I'm Latifah Fleuranza, owner of Amagi Brilliant Park. It's nice to see you two come to our park."
Latifah misunderstood what Mikan was saying and intended to help them.
Although her gaze often glanced at her boyfriend, Eiji.
She wanted to ask him why she could hear his inner voice. However, she realized that she could not do so.
It felt like something was preventing her from opening her mouth when she thought of doing so.
Miss System: "....."
I'm not getting paid to do this.
"Ah, hello. You look so young, but the owner of this park? That's great." Eiji pretended to be stunned, then complimented the beautiful woman he had just met casually.
His skill level made Latifah a little embarrassed.
Mikan refrained from rolling her eyes and smiled kindly, "Hello Latifah, I'm Mikan Yuuki and this boy next to me is Eiji Seiya. Nice to meet you too."
She introduced themselves politely to the girl in front of her.
Latifah chuckled, "Hehe, thank you. I heard what you two were talking about and can help. Tiramy's Flower Adventure is the most popular ride in this park. I recommend you guys to try it first."
She then continued, "Don't forget to try our newest Magic Whirlpool ride, Splash Ocean. We also have other exciting rides like Moffle's Candy House, Elementario, Heart-Pounding Coaster..."
Hearing the names of the rides mentioned by Latifah one by one, Eiji and Mikan couldn't remember them all.
But as a veteran of love, Eiji made an interested expression and said, "Heart-Pounding Coaster? That's a roller coaster, right? It must be exciting!"
Latifah was excited and continued her promotion, "That's right! We guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience!"
She really owns this park.
Mikan chimed in, "That sounds interesting! We'll definitely give it a try. Thank you, Latifah-san!"
"You're welcome! Have fun!" Latifah smiled and waved before walking away.
But after she walked far enough, she almost tripped over what Eiji said in his heart.
[Latifah is a beautiful and pathetic woman at the same time. I wonder should I tell her that I might be able to remove her curse?]
[We just got acquainted and I'm busy dating with Mikan. Well... there's no need to rush.]
"!?" Latifah.
Really? You really can remove my curse, Seiya-san?!
She looked back, but Eiji and Mikan had hardly entered the ride.
On the other side.
Mikan looked at her boyfriend flatly, "Eiji, you're bad."
"What? Why?!" Eiji acted rather exaggeratedly as if he didn't know what made his girlfriend unhappy.
"It's fine."
That is what every woman often says when things go wrong. But, don't misunderstand.
Mikan wasn't angry, she was just commenting on Eiji's bad habit of making a woman curious and then leaving them.
She felt Latifah was really pathetic.
Now that she knew Eiji might be able to remove her curse, she was definitely confused and eager to talk further with him.
Even so, this man was now busy accompanying her.
Mikan was glad Eiji was prioritizing her, but felt sorry for Latifah.
[What the wise man in my previous life said is true. A woman's heart is like an ancient puzzle; each piece is beautiful, but putting it together into a complete picture is a mystery.]
[In other words, I don't understand what makes Mikan dissatisfied. Wait, I know!]
The heroines: I hope you really know.
While sitting on a colorful boat floating slowly on the waterway. Not only the two of them, there were also several people led by a mascot in a bear costume named Tiramy.
The inside of the ride was truly magical, ordinary people didn't know, but the surroundings were created by magic.
"Mikan, are you jealous?" Eiji whispered in Mikan's ear.
Immediately, a faint blush spread across her cheeks and she glared at him. "Eiji, don't talk so close to my ear. Geez... No, I'm not jealous at all."
Mikan was telling the truth.
After all, how many women were there in Eiji's harem?
It would be too tiring if she got jealous every time he wooed another woman.
So she really wasn't jealous, and her cheeks were flushed because her ear was her sensitive part.
[I accidentally found Mikan's sensitive spot, heh.]
Oh no...!
Mikan was a little panicked, she felt that her boyfriend had bad intentions.
But on the surface, Eiji made an innocent expression and at that moment—
"YOHOHO! WELCOME TO TIRAMY'S FLOWER ADVENTURE! ENJOY THIS RELAXING TRIP, YAHOHO!"
Tiramy spoke through the loudspeaker as the environment around them transformed into an ancient forest filled with flowers.
The boat they were on was now floating on the river.
Mikan was slightly surprised to hear Tiramy's shrill voice. "His voice is a bit... But this place is beautiful. Eiji, look at that. There are lots of giant tulips!"
"Yes, this place is beautiful, but not as beautiful as the girl beside me."
Mikan's cheeks flushed again, "Eiji, stop teasing me!"
Yare-yare, Eiji thought.
While they tried the rides in Amagi Brilliant Park one by one until the sun began to set.
Deep in the park, there was a balcony where Latifah could see all the rides from a height.
"Latifah, here's today's popcorn sales data report."
The door in the room was opened by a young man with light golden brown hair in a business suit.
His face was handsome and had a confident expression. As he entered and spoke, he did not forget to flick his bangs with one hand. His other hand held out the papers in his hand to Latifah in the distance.
His gesture or pose shows his narcissistic nature as a former child actor.
He was none other than the protagonist of Amagi Brilliant Park and had almost the same name as Eiji.
"Oh, Seiya-kun! Sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
Latifah gasped in surprise before turning her head quickly to the young man named Kanie Seiya.
It had been three months since he became the new manager of Amagi Brilliant Park, and she was very grateful to him.
Thanks to him, the park she and her residents lived in was free of financial problems and prevented the eviction of the land by the real estate agency.
Come to think of it, his and Eiji's names almost resembled each other.
Kanie placed the papers he was carrying on the table. "You're daydreaming. That rarely happens. Any problems with ticket sales again?"
Latifah shook her head lightly and returned to staring at the scenery outside. "Not the ticket sales. I... I was just thinking about the pair of visitors who came this afternoon."
"Visitors? This park is full of visitors every day, Latifah."
Of course, it was because of his genius and perfectionism.
Kanie sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, he looked very narcissistic. Still, he was quietly staring at Latifah's back with a hint of lust in his eyes.
He had been working hard for the past three months attracting 250,000 visitors to Amagi Brilliant Park which was about to be evicted by a real estate agency.
To boost the park's appeal, he and his team of staff (including rugged mascots like Moffle, Macaron, and Tirami, as well as the stiff Isuzu Sento) even improved every ride, and attracted the necessary number of visitors before the deadline.
As a result, they hit their visitor target and saved the park from closure.
It's no exaggeration that he got rewarded after all he did, right? Of course, he earned a decent salary as an amusement park manager and a high school student.
But that wasn't what he meant.
He was waiting for beautiful women like Latifah and Isuzu to submit themselves to him as a reward.
As a perfectionist, he was confident in his charm and abilities. He didn't need to take the initiative, it was the women who had to take the initiative on him.
"They are different. Their names are Eiji and Mikan. They seemed to be having a lot of fun on our Flower Adventure ride."
Latifah smiled faintly, when she was about to say something about Eiji's inner voice, she again could not do so.
She understood, she didn't seem to be allowed to tell anyone.
Kanie raised his eyebrows and asked curiously. "Flower Adventure? Tiramy's boring ride? Did they enjoy it?"
"They seemed to enjoy it a lot, especially Moffle's dancing."
Kanie massaged his temples, "Gosh, their taste is so weird."
Latifah was silent for a moment, she was used to Kanie's narcissistic and often condescending attitude towards others.
She always refrained from commenting on that.
Her expression turned slightly sad and nostalgic. "Looking at the two of them, it makes me remember... how it feels to be a normal high school girl who can go on a date carefree. Seeing them makes me a little... envious."
She said her true feelings in front of the protagonist.
Ehh? The protagonist? Latifah suddenly remembered the things Eiji had said in his inner voice.
If what he said was true, the person called the protagonist of Amagi Brilliant Park was Kanie.
And she was the heroine. Did that mean the two of them were destined to be together?
Latifah frowned, she had a hint of rejection in her heart. What she didn't know was that she felt that way because she had met Eiji and heard he could remove her curse.
"Latifah... I'm sure there is a way to remove your curse. We will find it in the future."
Kanie looked at Latifah's backside gently.
He knew it was her curse that kept her from aging or enjoying youth to the fullest.
As long as he helped her in solving that problem, she would definitely throw herself at him.
Latifah sighed, she returned to her cheerful princess mode. "Ah, forget it! I shouldn't think about such things. We should focus on increasing the number of visitors. The more visitors we get, the more excitement we have."
She couldn't tell Kanie that she had found someone who might be able to remove her curse.
By the way, excitement could also be called 'pure happiness'. She and the residents of Maple Land needed that energy. Not just to gain magical powers, but to survive in the human world.
Kanie nodded, he returned to professional mode. "Of course. But, if you need a break, don't hesitate to say so. Latifah."
He didn't know his potential to get a green hat was so high now.
"Thank you, Seiya-kun."
Latifah smiled, but her gaze back out on the balcony, she thought of Eiji and Mikan's sweet date.
