As expected, Seibaku Newspaper’s headlines are sharp.
Hagetoru’s articles, especially, are really interesting. This reporter definitely has talent.
And this time, there are so many articles—it’s sure to be a hit issue.
”Oh, it’s about time…”
I leave the cafe and head to today’s destination.
Hmm, I think it’s around here.
I check the signboard of a nearby building.
[Beyond Production]
Oh, right, this is it.
Beyond Production is the agency representing Japanese actress Kohina Yukari.
Today, they’re holding a briefing for mid-career recruits, and I’m here to listen.
”Huh? Who are you, trying to scout me with words like that?”
Huh? I hear a voice.
Without entering Beyond Production, I head to the side street where the voice came from.
There, actress Kohina Yukari is arguing with a foreign woman.
”Or what, you think I can’t take on overseas jobs unless I get support from the agency?”
”Eh, no, that’s not what I meant…”
Now I remember—aside from my work with BERYL, there was a group trying to bring in the main lead actress to establish the Japanese branch.
The former colleague pressured by Kohina Yukari looks flustered.
”Huh, I see. This country and I have been underestimated.”
Kohina Yukari steps closer to the person.
Despite her small frame, she has an overwhelming presence.
No wonder she’s called the Great Kaiju.
”Tell your president. If they underestimate me, they’ll end up eating cold, soggy potatoes!”
”Y-yes, ma’am!”
The former colleague pressured by Kohina Yukari runs away.
Oh no, does this mean if I join this company, I’ll have to work with her?
The president of Beyond Production on their website looked completely worn out.
My instincts, honed from handling complaints, tell me: this company is dangerous.
I decide to skip the briefing and head to another agency’s orientation.
”Phew, I’m tired.”
I’ve attended orientations at various agencies, but none felt right.
I decide to take a break at a jazz cafe.
”Welcome.”
”I’ll have a coffee.”
Hmm? Is that actress Oto Rurika, the waitress?
No, there’s no way a Best New Actress winner would work part-time here.
It’s probably someone who looks like Yukishiro Emily, whom I saw at the real estate agency.
”Thank you, it was delicious.”
”Ah, yes. Thank you very much.”
After leaving the cafe, I head to the Holy Aqua Religion headquarters before going home to thank them for their help.
”Thank you so much for your kindness. Please feel free to look around.”
”Well then, I’ll take you up on that…”
I go to the “Holy Relics Exhibit.”
There, I see something truly astonishing on display.
”Shirogane Aqua’s used tissue…!?”
Wait, is it okay to display this without permission!?
Normally, that’s not allowed!!
It’s called a Sacred Relic, but isn’t this just a stalker showing off trash they collected!?
Feeling dizzy, I leave the exhibition hall and head to the next location.
”This is the Holy Aqua Religion’s Historical Archives.”
It’s only been a year since it was established, so there’s no real history.
And this organization was involved in those incidents behind the scenes!?
I look at the documents and turn pale.
Hey, did your god really want this!?
Or are they acting without permission?
”You see, listening and acting is second-rate, but understanding and acting is first-rate.”
Hearing that, I hold my head in my hands. They’ve lost control.
As I stand speechless, I hear a sound.
Click, click, click.
What’s that sound?
A young girl smiles as she presses a button while looking at a “Doomsday Clock” on the wall.
I wonder what she’s doing. It’s too scary to ask….
Holding my breath, I quietly slip away and leave.
”How was Holy Aqua Religion? Please consider joining if you’d like.”
At this moment, I realize something.
Huh? Isn’t this organization dangerous? And….
They praise Shirogane Aqua, the god, but act independently of his will. The Saint is often absent, and that insane girl with wires sticking out is apparently the Saint’s substitute.
I write my name on the form handed to me by the receptionist.
Damn it, I have to do something about this crazy organization!!
Resolving to do so, I tighten my clenched fist holding the pen.
My lonely battle to protect Shirogane Aqua within this mad organization called Holy Aqua Religion has begun.
