Even If I Fall Into a Ghost Story, I Still Have to Go to Work Episode 182
Light blooms from the night garden of Flower Golden Resort.
Whoosh.
A streak of light shooting up to the sky bursts magnificently, pouring down sparkling light like a waterfall onto the resort building.
Wow!
Throughout the garden, colorful flowers bloom with light, swaying as if dancing and blooming in sequence with perfect timing. Light enters the luminous flowers held up by the non-human guests, drawing gasps of admiration.
Scenes so enchanting they become rather eerie.
And finally, light began blooming from the resort building as well.
The light that rose upward in vine-like formations flashed through windows and terraces, soaring to the very top of the resort building before bursting into light like scattered pollen.
Letters appeared, cutting through the air.
FLOWER GOLDEN
At last, he stepped forward.
The owner of this resort.
Yellow Mascot walked out to the center of the garden with countless mascots, performing rhythmic dances, and with each movement, light danced again.
The flowing theme song of Cheerful Theme Park.
-♩♪♬♬~♩♬♬~♩♪♪
At the same time, the faint sound of the same song being varied and echoing from all directions could be heard.
Sounds coming from far away.
“….”
Hyeonmu Team 3 Leader glanced around with her eyes.
Red Zone and Blue Zone.
Other zones were also conducting their own ceremonial events.
Blue Zone’s fireworks, and….
-Kyahahahahaha!
Red Zone’s parade.
The maddeningly painful, cheerful, terrible, and magnificent procession led by Magic Bunny started from there, the Magic Palace in the central Red Zone, and departed with boisterous music, screams, and cheers.
Though the distance was too far to see the detailed scenery, the Team Manager gauged the parade’s movement route.
And she intuited.
The destination is here.
It definitely wasn’t yesterday. But they changed the route.
The moment this ceremony ends, that parade will also stop at the Red Gate in front of the garden.
And the moment business hours end….
“They’ll come over with the whole parade, won’t they.”
“…!”
“Oh, sorry. Did I startle you?”
Did she make a similar guess?
The Team Manager quietly looked at the Dolphin Mask Employee who bowed her head apologetically, then nodded.
She wasn’t at a rank hot-blooded enough to openly display hostility toward the pseudo-pharmaceutical company.
Besides, she had just witnessed that strange exchange.
-I will
stay behind
-I don’t want that.
-It’s okay
-I don’t think it’ll be okay.
Just before the event, Yellow Mascot made all the employees retreat from the garden and gather at the front of the resort.
As if protecting them from something.
Thanks to this, the employees were watching the illumination from a distance, as far away as the resort building.
Yet seeing the Hyeonmu Team Agent staring as if almost entranced, she realized the strangeness of what was called a ‘mascot ceremony ritual.’
And if her eyes weren’t mistaken….
That dolphin employee had tried to help the mascot who was trying to protect the employees until the end.
‘….’
Young agents often equate the nature of unethical groups with the character of individual members, but reality isn’t that simple.
The same goes for creatures in ghost stories.
That’s what makes it even more headache-inducing….
‘Phew.’
She shook off her thoughts.
Because there was work to be done.
And anyway, now was the time to put it into action.
Waaaah!
At the climax of the illumination, when Yellow Mascot stood in the center, his horns blazed with bright golden light and flowers bloomed.
Suddenly Yellow Mascot turned to look this way, and as if it were part of the performance, raised his front paw and waved to them in the distance.
A will conveyed without words.
Go now
“…Now!”
At that signal, the employees began running like mad.
Their destination was the gate leading to Blue Zone.
And shortly after.
The ground next to the gate began shaking and rising up.
The illumination rushes toward its climax.
Light gathers beneath the feet of Yellow Mascot standing in the center of the garden, lifting him into the air.
Drum roll.
Ooooh!
Light grows from the Yellow Mascot’s horn, swaying like a massive tree large enough to cover the resort building.
Breathtakingly blooming flowers.
And the moment the mascot raises his hands in time with the music’s finale.
Aaaaah!
His name bursts in light through the air, achieving complete recognition.
Flower Golden.
Owner of the Yellow Zone of Cheerful Theme Park.
Everyone knew. It was proclaimed to all.
Congratulations. Now he was a perfect mascot of this place.
And the Yellow Mascot came to accept tremendous new sensations.
‘…!’
He senses the entire Yellow Zone.
He could know what was happening in his resort zone, could control all mascots like himself, and realized all the laws and ■■ of this Cheerful Theme Park!
Now he was the complete owner and mascot of the zone!
Ahhh!
Instinctive thrills maximized the splendor of the illumination, bursting gorgeous golden flowers throughout the garden once more to conclude the ceremony ritual.
Aaaaaaahhh!
However, in the meantime.
Something reveals itself beyond the Red Gate as well.
A parade of madness.
The end of Magic Bunny’s disgusting, overwhelming, and spectacular march.
[Great Magic Bunny!]
The red rabbit and carriage that finished the final sacrifice-like event, giant face-shaped balloons, and all sorts of mobile parade equipment stop in front of the gate.
And as if competing with the illumination, they flash lights madly… then suddenly go dark.
Simultaneously, the illumination’s brilliant waves of light also quiet down to their final ecstasy.
Ending.
What flows is…
-♩♪♬♬~♩♬♬~♩♪♪
The ending song.
A warmly arranged variation of the theme song began to play.
Closing time was approaching.
-We would like to announce that our theme park will close in 10 minutes…
The quieted garden.
The audience who had been watching and enjoying the illumination began to disperse. They move busily toward the exit gate.
In an instant, the zone regains its bustling tranquility.
The end of business hours.
The Yellow Mascots clean up the night garden, kindly guide visitors, and manage the resort facilities.
No movement is observed from beyond the dark Red Gate.
The Yellow Mascots lightly celebrate today’s event and check if any visitors remain in the lobby.
No movement is observed from beyond the dark Red Gate.
The quiet resort building where only bright lights softly shine through the lobby’s glass windows. The Yellow Mascots standing inside wave to visitors leaving through the exit gate.
No movement is observed from beyond the dark Red Gate.
And the lobby door closes.
Thud.
-See you again next time~
…
…
…
From beyond the dark Red Gate.
Countless red eyes began to emerge.
Magic Bunny’s parade swarm crossed the gate as it was.
Thududududuk,
The sound of corpses of visitors and living somethings being crushed, used as carpets so the carriage wouldn’t get caught on the gate. The gate turns red.
The carriage runs. A cute melody rings from the music box device attached to its wheels. In time with that sound, things wearing Magic Bunny masks stagger in a march toward the resort.
The costume heads melt down wetly.
In a time when they are no longer mascots, the Red Mascots abandon their forms to cross into another zone.
Things that have transcended the discipline and rules that no longer need to be kept as business ends.
Ahhh!
The bipedal red masses connect to each other like blood vessels, and the parade’s appearance transforms into something bizarre that can no longer be concealed by the theme park’s fantasy.
Still, the parade continues.
With music box sounds, they trample into the Yellow Zone’s garden and surround the resort building as a parade swarm.
And drawing increasingly narrow circles, they gradually approach the resort.
Closer.
Even closer.
Pressingly.
The Yellow Mascots watching outside from inside the lobby take defensive positions and observe them.
They approach.
3.
2.
1.
Ahhhhh!
The lobby glass window shatters as the parade pours into the resort building.
Pandemonium.
Murderous intent and destructive desire burst forth without the mascot filter as dozens of Yellow Mascots are captured and slaughtered.
Occasionally, Yellow Mascots trying to resist or respond swarm one or two entities to suppress them, but only briefly.
Soon they’re torn apart like toys, scattering cotton as they stop functioning.
Mascots falling from the resort building rooftop, mascots with exploding heads, mascots nailed to the cold storage.
A gruesome, horrific, breath-taking spectacle.
Magic Bunny’s conquest!
Magic Bunny’s great power!
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!
From that scene, one Yellow Mascot flees frantically.
A mascot with ornate horns.
The very entity that hosted today’s illumination.
The main body.
Kyahahaha!
Magic Bunny’s decorative fireworks explode with laughter. The bursting sparks burned the legs of the fleeing mascot.
Eventually falling and crawling to escape, the parade’s lead float chases after the mascot, racing through the narrow street like a stampede.
Toward the facility office.
Click!
The Yellow Mascot entering the Yellow Zone personnel’s exclusive space barely managed to lock the door before the float could enter, but.
Crash!!
The massive float’s front decoration tore through the door and burst in.
The colorful float with light bulb decorations that had led the parade.
Magic Bunny’s symbolic vehicle.
The giant Magic Bunny’s red face decoration mounted on its front, grinning widely, splits open.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!
The decoration’s eyes pierce through, its mouth bursts, and from within the swirling dust, an existence finally flows out.
Ahhhhh!
Magic Bunny’s main body.
Something consumed by the Red Mascot.
A bizarre mass that had lost all traces of its form from when it wasn’t once a mascot spills out of the float.
Various body parts attached here and there, worn like trophies, like replacements.
Countless eyes and ears, and limbs.
Ahhhhh!
It trembles with joy as it approaches the Yellow Mascot.
Slowly, slowly.
Delightful!
Raw hunting. Raw joy!
Revenge and liberation!
The thrill of usurpation!
The Yellow Mascot with damaged legs spilling cotton cannot escape.
It simply looks up at the terrible and overwhelming thing…
And opens its mouth.
Fool
At that moment.
Crash!!
With a thunderous roar, the facility office ceiling collapses.
The thing that had removed the Red Mascot’s mask tried to devour the Yellow Mascot’s head regardless, but it wasn’t just the ceiling that collapsed.
Bang! Crash-crash-crash-bang!
With explosive sounds, the resort is demolished.
Heavy construction materials also pierce through the parade swarm that was hunting the Yellow Mascot.
Ahhhhh!
Indiscriminate destruction of a different kind.
But the explosive sounds don’t end there.
The resort was settling downward, crushing the first floor with the force of gravity and weight.
Countless Magic Bunny contents are crushed beneath and perish.
Along with the Yellow Mascots’ corpses.
Crash-bang-bang-bang-bang!
Even in the facility office where the largest Magic Bunny content had been.
Heavy concrete-like masses and metal pipes violently pierce through the documents on the facility office desk.
The document originally placed on that desk was…
I decided to demolish the resort today.
Why, you ask?
Because I feel like it. Someone advised me that this resort is too modest. The predecessor’s sense really seems lacking.
It would be better to blow it up and build a new, more splendid resort.
Unfortunately, I provided refund guidance to the guests who were scheduled to stay tonight and escorted them to the gate with their understanding.
And I installed explosives during the Mascot Ceremony Ritual.
It would be fun to blow it up tomorrow morning and spread word of mouth… but well. I might suddenly detonate it tonight.
It doesn’t matter anyway.
Because I am the owner of this Yellow Zone.
And.
Everything that was in the resort at that time must also be demolished together.
Following that will.
The resort was completely destroyed and burning.
Along with everything inside it.
“My, my goodness.”
The employees groaned as they watched the resort building half-destroyed and collapsing in the distance.
They were now safe from business closure.
The third facility that the Yellow Mascot hastily created underground near the Blue Zone Gate as soon as the Mascot Ceremony Ritual ended.
Of course, it was closer to a temporary safety facility rather than an official service facility, and the inside was empty, but that had its advantages.
Employees could freely enter and use it without any cost.
The fact that it had no additional effects made it safer for humans instead.
Thanks to this, they were able to stay safe in the closed Cheerful Theme Park without having to enter the resort, which was an accommodation facility…
While watching their workplace get destroyed and their employer get killed countless times through the small glass window near the ceiling.
“Wait! Don’t tell me that mascot is trying to commit mutual suicide…”
“Lo, look! It’s still there!”
“Damn it.”
A red mass surged up from one side of the collapsed resort.
Aaaaah!
The red mass spat out what it had been chewing in its mouth.
Golden fur.
The Yellow Mascot’s head rolling on the floor was faintly visible in the light of the burning resort…
“Ah…”
Its slow movement clearly showed it had taken damage, but it hadn’t completely stopped.
And that alone gave the Yellow Zone employees an ominous feeling.
They lost.
They would be integrated into the Red Zone.
But then.
“Te, Team Manager!”
“Wait a moment, just wait.”
The Disaster Management Bureau Xuanwu Team 3 Leader opened the shelter door and came out.
Since the Magic Bunnies had all flocked to the resort building to find and tear apart the Yellow Mascot, none of the mascot forms had reached this place where there were no mascot shapes yet.
Thanks to this, the Team Manager could briefly leave the shelter to carry out her employer’s ‘special order’.
The Yellow Mascot’s request.
-That thing
-Use it
She had no idea how it knew and calculated this, but it was a reasonable request.
“Whew.”
She drew a sword from her bosom.
A weapon imbued with Pure Yang Energy that repels ghosts and drives away evil, a weapon that cuts down disasters.
Four Gods Sword.
Issued equipment that only Xuanwu team leaders of the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau are permitted to forge.
The blade that had been in the short glass sheath emerged endlessly long as it was drawn.
One stroke of the 28 Lunar Mansions Constellation and one stroke of sword energy.
All of it…
Raised up.
Heaven bestows essence and earth
Assists the spirit
Sun and moon take shape and mountains and water
Form their structure
And.
Thunder and lightning come rushing forth
She swung it down.
The collapsing resort.
Lightning struck down upon the head of the evil thing caught in the trap.
