 ”Lucky I got those tickets.”

 ”Yeah…”

 As I waited in line for Beryl’s Wonderland, I peered around with my mouth agape.

 It felt like a dream, but pinching my cheek confirmed it wasn’t.

 Hours earlier, staff had burst into my room as I slept.

 ”What’s this? A raid from another VTuber agency?!”

 Startled awake, I surveyed my room with bedheaded hair.

 ”Congratulations, Inko-san!!”

 ”””””congratulations!!”””””

 Congratulations?

 Had I cleared an otome game without realizing it?

 No, I hadn’t cleared it yet, but staff had secured tickets to Beryl’s Wonderland in my name. Unbelievable…

 ”Umm, yeah, I guess having good friends pays off. Thanks, guys…”

 Touched by the staff’s thoughtfulness, I shed tears.

 I’d been confined to the main office for half a year now.

 The otome game was progressing, but the end was still far off.

 Recently, a bug caused by Wild Morikawa Kaede had covered the Beryl headquarters floor with Hogebanana peels, forcing me to restart.

 ”Inko-san is so easy to please.”

 ”That’s why we love Inko-chan.”

 ”Some say the more easily pleased you are, the more likely you are to end up with Aqua-sama.”

 ”What? So I have a chance, too?!”

 ”Perfect, now we can keep Inko-san busy until she clear the otome game!”

 ”Shh! You have to be quiet about that!”

 After a long time, I got all dressed up and was sent off by the kind staff to Beryl in Wonderland.

 And now, here we are.

 ’Ladies and gentlemen visiting Beryl in Wonderland, we will start soon, so please wait a little longer.’

 Everyone in the waiting line cheered at the official announcement.

 I raised my hand and shouted along with the other kids.

 ”Look, Shiro-kun and Tama-chan’s mascots are coming out!”

 ”Lapis-chan is here too!! Lapis-chwan!”

 ”Maruo-kun~! Kujaku-kun~!”

 ”Kanon-sama is here! Don’t overdo it!”

 ”Real Emily-sama, so beautiful!”

 ”President Atori and Nee-san are here too!!”

 Everyone from Beryl in Wonderland walked down the red carpet laid out in the center of the waiting line.

 They turned at the end of the carpet and lined up in front of the entrance gate.

 I joined everyone in cheering loudly.

 ”Kaede! Don’t spawn too many bugs! Throw the banana peels in the trash!”

 Some girls around me burst out laughing at my words.

 Oh no. The ones who reacted for sure are my listeners.

 I need to be careful… I try to hide.

 ”Huh? Did I just hear Inko’s voice…?”

 You, who usually just zone out, why do you have such good hearing!!

 ”Nope, no way, she should be locked up in the streaming room. There’s no way she’d come out to this place…”

 That’s right! You’re fine just like that!

 Kaede, stop using your brain for boring stuff! Let it sleep forever unless there’s an emergency!!

 ”Ah.”

 Everyone freezes for a moment at someone’s voice.

 ”Tenga-senpai! Your sorcerer robe and staff look great!!”

 ”Mayuzumi-kun! The monocle suits you!! I want a butler like that!!”

 ”Toa-chan!! The little silk hat and shorts are so cute!!”

 ”Huh? Huh? Does that mean everyone made it in time!?”

 ”Yay!!”

 Thank goodness!! Everyone from BERYL made it on time!!

 After Toa-chan and the others turned back from the red carpet, they lined up in front of the entrance gate with everyone else.

 At this point, there’s only one person left to come out.

 Everyone holds their breath and watches the end of the red carpet.

 ”Ah! Something is coming out of the castle!”

 ”Really!!”

 ”Aqua-kun!?”

 ”Wait, a horse!?”

 It’s true! Aqua-kun is riding a white horse and coming straight towards us from the castle.

 Everyone gets excited at the performance that reminds them of the Christmas concert.

 Wow, a handsome guy looks great on a horse.

 When Aqua-sama, dressed as a prince on the white horse, arrives, he is met with the loudest cheers of the day.

 Aqua-kun gets off the horse and walks down the red carpet alone.

 He’s definitely used to walking the runway after doing it so many times.

 No matter how you look at it, this runway is just for him.

 The main character really is something else!!

 ”Welcome to the land of dreams. I am the prince of this country, Shirogane Aqua.”

 Wow!

 Aqua-kun is in full prince mode.

 Aqua-kun gives a brief explanation about the recommended attractions in Beryl in Wonderland.

 ”Okay, enough with the formal greetings! Everyone, thank you so much for coming today!!”

 ””””””””””Thank you!””””””””””

 Seeing Aqua-kun back to his usual self, everyone cheered loudly.

 The Beryl group lined up and held hands, bowing their heads toward us.

 ”Now, we officially open Beryl in Wonderland!!”

 ””””””””””Wowwwwwww!””””””””””

 Having already checked our tickets, we walked through the red carpet that Aqua-kun and the others had just walked on to enter Beryl in Wonderland.

 ”Aqua-sama──! Look over here!”

 ”Mayushin-kun──! Wave your hand!”

 ”Toa-chan, you’re so cute today!!”

 ”Tenga-senpai, cast a magic spell on me!”

 Woooooow!

 As we walked down the red carpet, everyone stood on both sides to welcome us, and it was super exciting.

 Of course, Kanon-san was sitting in a chair, but that’s okay. Honestly, it made us feel more at ease. Since Kanon-san is pregnant, she doesn’t have to push herself!

 Among the fans walking the red carpet, some were even greeting Kanon-san’s belly, saying hello to the baby.

 I should say something encouraging too, like “You’ll be born healthy!”

 ”Where should we go?”

 ”I have so many places I want to see, I can’t decide!”

 I know! I totally get it!!

 For now, I’ll go into the nearby souvenir shop.

 I know I should probably buy souvenirs at the end, but I wanted to get some limited edition goods for the staff and juniors who got tickets for me.

 Fortunately, Beryl Wonderland has a service that keeps your souvenirs safe and a delivery service, so you can pick up your souvenirs at the cloak counter or send them directly to your home or office.

 ”Hmmm, Aqua-kun really looks like a prince here. He was so cool!”

 I buy as many limited edition items of Aqua-kun as I can.

 If I’m thinking about giving them to everyone, I have to buy at least this much.

 ”We have plenty in stock, so don’t worry. Take your time and shop at your leisure!”

 Inside the store, Lapis-chan and the others come in wearing red military jackets and mini skirts.

 So cute! The way the hat doesn’t quite fit makes me want to hug them.

 Lapis-chan and the others call out to the customers while also helping those who seem to be in trouble.

 Wow. Just being able to interact with the Beryl kids is already amazing.

 ”Please send the souvenirs.”

 ”Yes, understood. Um… Holospray Headquarters!?”

 The lady looks back and forth between the address and my face, realizing something.

 Oh no, she figured it out. I put my index finger to my lips and asked her, “Sorry, please keep it quiet.”

 The lady nodded silently, understanding.

 Wait, looking closely, isn’t this girl Fujibayashi Misono-san, who became a staff member at Beryl?

 Now that I see it, she’s the only one dressed differently. She’s in a white uniform with “Assistant Manager” written on her chest.

 Oh, so she’s helping out with the behind-the-scenes work and also coming out front.

 I was led to a private room, and I heard that Fujibayashi-san didn’t completely disappear from the spotlight; instead, she was doing a job that connects staff and talents, half in the open and half behind the scenes.

 ”Thank you!”

 I said my thanks to Fujibayashi-san and left the delivery place.

 By the way, Fujibayashi-san and the ladies at the delivery place had super cute uniforms.

 I heard that the design of the girls’ uniforms was all supervised by Aqua-kun, so working here had a pretty high competition rate.

 ”Oh, it’s Hisui-chan!”

 ”Wow, it really is!”

 Oh, that’s the hot new girl, Inori Hisui-chan.

 In the acting world, there’s Oto Rurika-san, in the idol world, there’s Inori Hisui-chan, and in the streaming world, there’s Lazu-sama. This year, they are said to be the top 3 newcomers among fans and people in the industry.

 When Hisui-chan was called out by fans, she spun the sniper rifle she had slung over her shoulder and put on a performance for them.

 Wow, that’s really cool. Wait, is that a disinfectant spray?! That’s a clever idea.

 I also got some disinfectant sprayed on my palm by Hisui-chan.

 ”Hey, hey, you ladies over there, aren’t you thirsty?”

 ”Y-Yeah, we are!”

 ”I just got thirsty now!!”

 Oh, it’s Toa-chan!

 Toa-chan cutely begged and led the ladies to the drink stand.

 Wait, a drink costs 1000 yen!? Is that a rip-off!? No, I guess that’s a reasonable price for a theme park.

 Ah… When I looked closely at the sign, it said that for a 1000 yen drink, you get a free drink with a 1000 yen donation. I see. It also says that they are selling regular drinks next door.

 I thought about donating since I was here, but there was a huge line, and it seemed sad that no one was at the drink shop next door, so I decided to go there instead.

 ”Ah, a customer! Yes! I did it, Kujaku!”

 ”Idiot! First, it’s ‘Welcome!’ right!!”

 Huh!? I was surprised to see Yamada-kun and Kujaku-kun as soon as I entered the shop.

 What’s going on!?

 ”Still, this is a big help. The flow of people is all going to Toa-chan-senpai next door, and no one was coming in here, so we were in trouble.”

 Oh, I see. That makes sense.

 I ordered the fresh banana juice that Kaede recommended and advised the two of them to go outside and bring in some customers.

 ”Wow, the fresh banana juice made by Kujaku-kun and Yamada-kun is super delicious!!”

 As soon as I stepped outside the shop, I shouted loudly to attract attention.

 ”Huh? The shop next door is run by Kujaku-kun and Maruo-kun!?”

 ”I’m going over there!”

 ”Quick, hurry!”

 Alright, now they should get some customers over here.

 I walked a bit further and passed right in front of the hotel.

 Wait, is that Kanon-san!?

 I waved to Kanon-san, who was elegantly sipping tea at a balcony table.

 ”Ah.”

 Kanon-san, who knows my face, smiled and waved back.

 Wow~. With the real maid Pegonia-san next to her, a true princess really is different.

 Wait, if I look closely, isn’t that Kukuri-chan having tea with Kanon-san!

 Plus, Kukuri-chan’s maid is Emily-san, wow, that whole scene looks like a painting.

 ”Ah, it’s… Kanon-sama!”

 ”Emily-sama, you’re beautiful…”

 ”Kukuri-sama!! Your Western outfit is so lovely!!”

 Oh no, because of me, the other kids noticed.

 But, this is part of the performance, so it’s okay for everyone to know, right?

 I silently mouthed “Don’t push yourself too hard” and left the spot.

 Still, the bulletin board people are really everywhere! Can’t they hold back a little!!

 ”Ah, there’s Tenga-senpai’s fortune-telling house!”

 ”Really! Let’s go check it out!!”

 Oh, so that’s a thing.

 Usually, it’s just a video panel, but today the real Tenga-senpai is here.

 Looking at the line, there were a lot of TENGA girls.

 I glanced at them and went further inside.

 ”Ah, there’s Morikawa Kaede’s arena!”

 ”What’s that!?”

 Is that really a thing…? I read the explanation on the sign in front of the facility.

 Hmm, hmm. If you beat Kaede or Aqua-kun’s records in the booths inside, you get a nice prize!?

 I have to challenge this! I entered the arena with a warrior’s face.

 The result was a total defeat.

 ”Those numbers are impossible for a human…”

 ”No way, no way, absolutely impossible. It was too soon for humanity.”

 ”But they gave us a lot of souvenirs, and considering my low expectations, it was pretty fun, right?”

 ”Yeah, yeah. If it’s not really about power or speed, there might be people who can break records.”

 I stare at Kaede keychain I got as a souvenir.

 Everyone thought I would trade it for Aqua-kun goods, but I was surprised that many chose to exchange it for Kaede’s souvenirs instead. You’re surprisingly popular, huh? I’m happy for you.

 Growl~.

 Maybe because I moved around a lot, I’m starting to get hungry.

 I go into a nearby restaurant.

 ”Ooh~.”

 There’s a stage inside the restaurant!

 While I’m eating, Uryuu Anko-san, who switched from the audition group to the cast of Beryl in Wonderland, comes out on stage in a beautiful dress.

 Wow… Yukari asked Aqua-kun to help, and because of that, Uryuu-san looks really good up there! Yukari must have really helped her out! Uryuu-san entertained us while we ate by singing Beryl’s songs in a jazzy style, showing off her musical training.

 ”Everyone, please come see the musical show at 3 PM if you can!”

 We all give a big round of applause and cheer. I’m so glad she could debut properly.

 After finishing my meal at the restaurant, I head outside to where a crowd has gathered.

 I think it’s a part of the Kansai spirit, but when there are people around, I naturally want to join in.

 ”Mayuzumi-kun, do your best!”

 ”Isn’t having Butler Mayushin and the mascot team just perfect for me!?”

 ”What’s with this cute group!?”

 Oh, Mayuzumi-kun, dressed like a butler, is leading Shiro-kun and Tama-chan in a mascot parade performance! That’s awesome.

 I heard there’s a big parade in the evening, but this feels closer, and when your favorite characters are performing, the fans must be really excited.

 Huh? Wait a minute, at the very end of the mascot line, I see Morinaga’s Merry-san mixed in.

 What is she doing here? She looks like she’s part of Beryl, but she’s actually with Morinaga, not Beryl!!

 ”Aqua-kun brought her along.”

 ”I see.”

 ”Everyone, it’s hot, so don’t push yourselves too hard!”

 Yeah, yeah. This spot has a roof, so it’s shady, and the air conditioning is working, but still, don’t overdo it!

 The mini parade only lasts about 5 minutes. It was really well-timed.

 I recorded a video and sent it to the staff. I thought the Mayuzumi-kun fans among the staff would be happy, and they were super excited. Oh, I should also send the videos I took of the red carpet this morning.

 ”Beryl Castle can be reached from this route too!”

 Oh, that’s Natsuki-san over there.

 She’s the daughter of Prime Minister Habu, right?

 Natsuki-san, wearing a badge that says “Information,” is guiding everyone to where they want to go.

 I see, so Beryl Castle is over there. Maybe I should head that way next.

 ”Oh, so this is the castle where Aqua-kun and the others are said to live!”

 Shirogane Kingdom is different. When we arrived at the castle where the residents of Beryl in Wonderland live, we showed our tickets and entered.

 Wow, there are mannequins that look just like everyone inside the castle… wait, there are real people too!!

 Akami-kun waves to everyone with a nervous look. Even though we’re co-starring in Zandamu, he still seems a bit uneasy about this.

 ”Ah, I…”

 ”Shh!”

 I quickly reacted with a “shh” when Akami-kun noticed me.

 Seeing my reaction, Akami-kun covered his mouth with both hands and nodded silently.

 Alright, no one has noticed. I whispered to him to do his best.

 ”Oh…”

 So this is Aqua-ouji’s room.

 It feels like there’s a nice smell in the air. Let’s take a deep breath.

 ”This is the bedroom.”

 Everyone’s expressions changed as we looked around.

 Wow, the wrinkles and the slightly messy parts over there look like someone just woke up!!

 We were feeling all flustered as we were guided to the bathroom.

 ”Ah, I can smell Aqua-kun…”

 ”Aqua-sama…”

 ”Ah, ah, ah…”

 ”Wet… soaked…”

 Oh no! If we stay here too long, the nice smell of Aqua-kun will melt my brain!!

 It said they recreated the scent of Aqua-sama right after a bath, but that smell is like some kind of weapon!!

 This is bad. Japan has finally developed the ultimate weapon that surpasses nuclear power.

 Women stumbling out of the bathroom and changing room were taken to the infirmary and emergency room. Those who were seriously affected were carried away on wheelchairs or stretchers.

 I called out to Kotono, who was nearby, and advised her to lower the smell in that room. If it stays like this, someone is definitely going to pass out.

 Maybe Kanon-san, who checked the smell, got too used to it and didn’t notice.

 I could handle it because I had shared a small space with Aqua-kun in the studio, but for someone new, it would be impossible.

 When I left the castle, I noticed a crowd gathering in the central square and went closer.

 What’s going on now!?

 ”Eek! Aqua-sama, you’re so cool!!”

 ”Aqua-kun, do your best!”

 Wow! Aqua-kun, holding a sword, was performing a sword fight on the central stage with several cast members.

 Even male action scenes were rare a while ago, so seeing this live is just amazing.

 We gave a big round of applause to Aqua-kun and all the cast members after their performance.

 ”Let’s go see the musical soon. I’m looking forward to the Pink Rose!”

 ”After that, there’s a parade, and there are still lots of events left. This is just the beginning!”

 Yeah, I’m going to enjoy this whole day to the fullest!!

 With renewed determination, I skipped toward the venue for the musical.
