Pasta-chan's Yuyake Ongaku Kai

　The dream of every girl in King's Landing.
　The hope that an ordinary girl can become a princess.

　The staff of Orba Trading Company, who tried to promote the game as a "princess", is not at fault. Rather, they have a good understanding of publicity.
　The fact that they've already commissioned a tailor to make a replica of her costume and are working on taking private orders is a testament to the sense of smell of the Orba Trading Company.

　--That's why Pasta-chan couldn't have yelled at the talented merchant after she was so conflicted.

　You did well," she said. After receiving such blood-curdling praise, she continues to produce cutting-edge products such as "Pasta-chan matching ribbon" and "Pasta-chan transforming stick".

　Terrorism?　Worsening public safety?　Naturally, the terrorists caught wind of their efforts and burned their house to the ground, but the materials and promotional materials they had moved to the Orba Trading Company's villa were all safe and sound. He was invincible.

　Aside from the invincible merchant who said, "I'll use the money from the sale to build another house," thanks to the efforts of those who acted as Beatrix's hands and feet, another 5,000 people attended the performance.

　This time, in addition to the word of mouth from the children who showed up at the tournament, the fact that we focused our efforts on places where all kinds of children gather - and on the royal capital - was a great success.

　There are a number of reasons why we did not scatter the children to the surrounding areas, but the biggest one is imprinting on the group.
　Only those in King's Landing know about it. And the biggest trend for the children.

　The method is the same as the popular toys sold by Orba Trading Company.

　Unlike the expensive ones, these are toys that all children can play with their friends and that are valuable to have.
　It can be a "human right" to have it, and parents who care about their children will feel a sense of duty to buy it for them.

　And they did it by word of mouth and advertising.
　Originally, those who came to the tournament, other than children with parents who liked sightseeing and sword fighting, were children of powerful families, including invited members of the royal court and nobility.

　But everyone is fascinated by Pasta-chan.
　Word spreads from top to bottom. That's why the Orba Trading Company saw a business opportunity in Pasta-chan and did a great job of advertising.

　As a result, children who don't know about Pasta-chan are treated as if they were left behind by the times, and a belief in Pasta-chan in the name of peer pressure is born.

　This relentlessness is another characteristic of the Orba Trading Company led by Beatrix.

　As a result of this, we have the following questions

"Please tell me you like me.　I dressed up and I was a good girl. So tell me you like me.　Tell me you like me. I'd be a fool if I didn't.

　She smiles and waves her hands in a simple choreography, and the children imitate her.
　It was the first time I heard the song, so I couldn't sing it.

　Even so, the audience was full of smiles as much as she was happy. For the first song as a greeting, I wanted something loud and bright, something that would get the audience excited from the beginning (intro).

　In response to such a request, Mirabelle drew up this song just for the time being, and it immediately captivated the hearts of the audience.

...... But it's amazing, isn't it?
I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

　I don't mean to criticize her for behaving as a nine-year-old girl with no shame at all.

　It's more of a spiritual thing.

　The way she is enduring this humiliation can be called mental, but she must know that there is a danger looming over this spectacle that is incomparable to the shame.

　--I don't know when I'm going to get blown up.

　That primordial fear is inherently immense.
Even the mere declaration that you're going to scare the crap out of me somewhere today is enough to make me change my tune.

　That is the spectacle of the explosion.
　If it happened, she herself would not be safe, and more importantly, many children who had come to enjoy the event would be involved.

　Terrorists are bad. Of course they are.
　But is she not responsible for her decision to do this?

　The answer is no.

　She knew and she brought them in. A terrorist threat that could happen at any moment.

　She should be scared. She should be terrified.

　And yet.

"The first song!　"Koimachi Date"!　And that's it, everyone!　Good evening!

　After the first song, which started as a surprise, she waved her hand with a big smile on her face, wearing a costume made in the color of the setting sun.

　If you look closely at her face, you can see that it's drawn out, but that's simply because she's pushing down her shame and chanting the magic spell Utatteodoru Dakede 5000 Man in her mind.

　In a sense, the mind that was so occupied with enduring the humiliation could be said to have been distracted from the terrorists.

　She responded to the wild calls of children and some adults, "Pasta-chan" - the back of which was roughly visible due to her costume.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... I envy you siblings. I don't care if you're a fake or not.
Good evening.
What?　What's up?
No, I think it's important to say hello, Master.
............ Oh, I see. You mean the pasta thing?
Yes.

　The girl who had apparently received the pasta's greeting from the venue.
　You must work with her and stop her at any sign of harm to the pasta.
　That was the mission that Leafy had been assigned.



　So far, I can't sense any deadly atmosphere.
　I wish I had a brother like that," muttered Leafy, his lips pursed in a pout.

I wish I had a big brother like that.

　The largest flower bed in the capital, where many children's smiles bloom, is now here.




I'm not sure what to make of it.
The Master said ......, "Being close is not the only way to protect.
What the hell is that?













　-Arena Spectacula, outside, south.

　A girl's song echoes in the distance.
　Like a girl's song echoing in the distance, as if you were walking down the street and suddenly heard it through the window of a tavern.
　And yet so far away, as if the echoes of a mountain-top shout were returning to me.

　It was a strange feeling.

　It was the time of day when the setting sun was turning the orange into darkness, and night was gradually taking over the world.

　Only, a pretty girl's singing voice was far, far away. Just a pretty girl's voice spinning in the distance.

　They were listening to it in the alley, breathing hard.

"......

　They seemed to be listening quietly.
　No one knew what was going to happen to that place.

　And yet, I could not help but be moved by her voice, either because the song was good or because the music was good. Or maybe it's because of the concentration I have to make up my mind.

　If you ask me which, I'd say all of them.

　A side street of the waterway that runs quietly through King's Landing. The girl who came out of the alley folded her arms and leaned her back against the wall.
　Looking straight ahead is the Spectacle.

　This is the place where she will soon launch her suicide attack at the signal of the man behind her - the place of fighting swords, where she has many memories to recall even if she doesn't.

"......
"Do you know Pasta-chan?
"What?

　I was just thinking about it, when I was ruined.
　I turned around to see the knight in shining armor standing next to me.
　I turned around to see a knight in shining armor standing next to me, leaving many of my men in an alleyway.

　The actuality that the king's "knight" is leading a terrorist group that calls itself the Legion of Honor in a place like this doesn't interest Aylan, though.

...... You're the sister of the champion.
I see.
So what?　I don't mean to tell you what to call her, but she's ....... Do you have feelings for her?
No.

　No," said the ever-present, joyful voice. He took off his helmet slowly, and his eyes narrowed as he gazed at the spectacle as if he were looking at something dazzling.

　In a dark alleyway - the magic lights shining brightly in that spectacle are indeed beautiful and dazzling.

　However, there was a strong hint of nostalgia and regret in his expression, which could not be dismissed with such visual information.

I've heard that you are Futa's sister. But ...... I wonder why. When I first saw her, I ......

　He looked up at Aylan, who only looked at Viciedo.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I thought, "Your Highness looks a lot like you did when you were a child.
"Princess Lilac's .......

　I'm not sure if it's a resemblance or not.
　Aylin had never had much contact with her.
　He had seen her face before, but not to compare her to Lilac, but only because Lilac had instructed him to protect her.

　At most, the color of their eyes was very similar, but it was difficult to say anything about their facial features.
　It was hard to say anything about her face, since he did not know Lilac when she was a child.

At the time, I had just become a knight, and I came to know His Highness ...... when he was less than ten years old. I was imprisoned on the first floor of the royal castle,......, yes, imprisoned.
......

　Pasta, who claims to be nine years old, and Lilac, who was less than ten years old.
　It's not hard to see the resemblance, considering their ages.

"I'm not a good talker and I'm not a good judge of character. I've been fooled many times in my life. So if you tell me that ...... smart pasta girl had something going on behind her back, I've been fooled again.
What are you trying to say?
"No. ...... I'm sorry. It's a waste of time. I don't mean to be so cowardly as to think that Pasta-chan is cheating on me, that it wouldn't hurt my conscience.

　Shaking his head loosely, Viciedo.
　Shaking his head loosely, Viciedo finally looked back at Arawn and said.

I just don't want to do anything I'll regret.
"That's what Princess Lilac is for.
"Yes. "That's what killing .................. the scoundrel is all about.
Oh, yes.

　Yes. "It's not only the fault of Viciedo.
　It's not just Viciedo's fault. But I can't say that I'm not responsible.

　I've been doing this my whole life.

　For example, yes. His Majesty's wife...



"...... His Majesty is a weak man. You nod when you're pushed. He believes what he wants to believe. That's why he was so virtuous. But there is only ...... virtue.

　As the king's knight.
　Aylin can't understand his struggle as he clenches his fists.
　Rather. If that's the kind of man you are.

I don't think it's a good idea to make a wicked man the queen.
"Don't say that, even in jest.

　Kill.
　The corners of Arawn's mouth lifted.

"Haha. ...... What is it, a fight here?　"Haha. What, a fight here? Well then, I suppose we'll be seeing a fight to the death before your long-held dream.
"...... Oh, yes. That's the kind of woman you are. I'm not going to take any chances right now.

　He exhaled and lowered his hand.
　The air is now tense and relaxed, just as it was before.

"For example.

　"For example," Viciedo began quietly.

"A man from a great noble family, who has experienced all that society has to offer, sits on a throne. Which would you feel more comfortable with: a commoner who has lived only in the world around him and suddenly decides to become king? Which do you feel more comfortable with?
I think it would be more fun to raise the commoners and have the world go crazy.
You're right. You're right. You're right in thinking that the world is going to be a mess at face value. ...... The career you have studied and the achievements you have made are all part of who you are. When you think that you can trust this person to run the society. No one looks at personality or character. You look at achievements and career. And just like that, your occupation is also a part of your background.
"......

　"A wicked man rises to the top of society.
　It's only natural that the country, not just King's Landing, would be worried.
　Nowadays, most commoners don't know Lilac's occupation, let alone the nobility and powerful. Once she's on the throne, the Priestess will make a big announcement.

　Because they'd be worried if they didn't. And I'll be worried when it's revealed.

　And not just for commoners who don't understand society.
　How ambitious she is. How much does she want a turbulent world? Isn't this just a time of surrender?
　It's understandable that you would suspect that - no, it's natural.

　I knew that. ...... Viciedo said of the Lilac of his childhood.

It was I who brought His Highness out of his imprisonment.

　This strong sense of responsibility is what drives him.

　Even if you don't think about it, you can feel it firsthand.
　The atmosphere between the factions that the king has maintained so softly is gradually cracking.

　Viciedo suspects that even the fact that he was forced to turn his attention to war when the economy began to decline may have been her idea.

　There's no evidence of that.
　Not even now. But certainly, steadily, she's gaining a foothold.

　That's what's most frightening.

And you're willing to sacrifice many of those children to do it?
There's no time to lose. If it's for the good of the country, ...... we're willing to make some sacrifices.
You hear that a lot, don't you? I'm willing to sacrifice for justice. --The logic of the powerful is repulsive.
"Is that so?

　Viciedo tilted his head and smiled loosely.

　I'm not sure what you mean by that.

"...... you.
It's not about the strong or the weak. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.
Regardless of what happens to yourself in the process?
Of course.
They are a nuisance, aren't they?

　But Arawn doesn't want to save those 5,000 people.
　That's something 5,000 people have to fight against. If they died because they couldn't move to earn their own lives, that's none of Aylin's business.


"That she was a proud noblewoman!"

"All who gather in this place are my people.

It is the right of a nobleman to go through the mud to protect his people.


"......

　It doesn't matter.

"......, what's wrong?
No. I just don't think it's going to work out that way.


"Oh. They still have a soft spot for you. They may think sealing the Lord of the Treasury is the end of it. Me too.

　I look at the spectacle and mutter.

"I'm not so sure they'll just blow us up. But...
"But at least the princess herself will show up in the middle of this riot.
"Yes. I don't care if we get caught in the middle of it. There's only one goal.
".......

　Do what you want, Arawn said.
　At the same time, the sound stopped at the spectacle.

　Apparently, the first song had ended.
　The set list was in the minds of Viciedo and Aylin.

　Between the second and third songs. That's when the bomb goes off.
　Just because it's between those two songs, where there's no microphone performance, and they're seamlessly connected, we decided that there was no way to respond.

　Then we have to get moving, or we'll never make it.

Therefore, I need you to stop Izna Sienzan.
No problem.

　I don't mind." Viciedo signaled to the back alley, and the volunteers began to move as planned. As they ran, Viciedo took a step forward and turned ...... around to follow their lead.

　Aylan is not moving.

I'd like to say that, but...
"Mu .......

　Her gaze is the exact opposite of Spectacula's.
　A shadow comes step by step along the side of the waterway.

"You have a visitor. Probably my guest.


　One step, two steps. The sound of earth being trodden.


"Well. We don't have much time. We're going to maneuver. Come on now.
"Yes, but...

　Arawn mutters as he watches the group, including Viciedo, run off.

"Don't get your hopes up.

　He brushed off his hair and retied his ribbon.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

...... Good day to you. It's a beautiful night.
"............

　Viciedo and the others were already far away.
　It seems that the second song has started, and the noisy light behind Aylan hides the starlight.

　Aylin turns his back to the light, and .

"...... Why?

　A girl stands alone in the darkness.

　Her voice was trembling. Her throat was constricted.
　Her heart still unseen, her question silent, looking squarely at Arawn.

　There was no light in her eyes.

"Why did you try to kill Mr. Richter?


Why did you want to kill Mr. Mion?


Why are you trying to destroy the arena at ......?


　One step . And then another step.
　The closer you get, the smaller the gap becomes. Of course.
　Arawn calmly assesses his position.

　To lure her into his range?　--No.

I don't understand. I don't know anything. What you're looking for beyond that. What makes you do it? Your purpose. Thoughts. Even a wish.

　A drop of meteor spills from your lightless eyes.

"I've never understood you until now.

　Aylan checked the distance because his opponent's distance was greater than his own. It was long.


　Because she was already clutching her weapon.

　The spectaclar's light shone in the darkness of the night.
　It reflected off the blade, eerily coloring its lapis lazuli glow.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　I'm not a fan of that.


　I don't know, so what the hell .

　For a moment, she looks up at the stars shading in the blinding light - the night sky like a dark curtain, and mutters.



"People like you should disappear from the ...... spectacula.
"Aaah!



　Aylin knew.
　Jyoshan Jujitsu is one of the world's three great javelin arts.

　One of the world's three great spear techniques.

　She knew it well because she had fought in many battles as a mercenary.

　It was originally a murderer's spear.


"I'll kill you if you want.


　The corners of Arawn's mouth lifted.
　The fire of hatred in her wide eyes is far more comforting than the love that she has for me.

　Yes, there is nothing that Arawn wants to protect.

　Just fight. Struggle!

Chant it!　Until we sink and fizzle!

　Aylorne laughs, but he doesn't have time to say his name as he jumps into the fray, "Tsuneyama Juju: Ryusei Iya.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's the first time I've ever wanted someone to die this badly. ......!

　Blades and fists clashing--that moment. 　



　A tremendous roar and the sound of something exploding echoes from the spectacle.
