Ambassador of Hell

O-M-G, the steam is cray-cray! Really adds to the onsen town feel. ♪ It’s so exciting!

I didn’t expect to see steam everywhere in town… That’s really cool.

Chief, you said we’ll be working as ambassadors for the Hells of Beppu, right?

Yep! We want you to work in one of the city’s most famous attractions, the Hells of Beppu, and gain fans along the way.

Order accepted. Now heading towards hell.

K-Kinari-kun, calm down. This isn’t necessarily an order…

(Kinari-kun’s been so quick to follow orders since I talked to him at the airport… Did something happen with him?)

Hell, I see… I suppose I’ll see what it’s like before I decide what to do.

So you’re the rumored ex-prisoner mayors? *sigh…* I guess I’ll give you a chance, since the higher-ups told me to.

(I-I don’t like the way he’s acting… We’re already off to a bad start.)

I’d like for each person to help out at one hell each. I don’t really expect much from you, but at least try to stay out of trouble.

…This doesn’t feel very welcoming.

It’s not surprising. The team is still technically composed of prisoners. It wasn’t easy to land this opportunity, so we should be glad they even accepted us.

Cheer up, Chiefy. This is just what being a rookie idol’s all about.

You’re right. Not everything will go smoothly in the beginning. If we show them that we mean well, I’m sure we’ll win them over.

Since there are seven hells, there’s one for each of us.

Ooh! Chii wants to do Sea Hell.

You can get such good pics here. ♪ And they even have pudding. ♪

Sounds good. I feel like I can trust you to handle guests well, Chihiro.

(Raito-san and Chihiro-kun are so reliable…!)

Taotao, you should totally do Hell of the Monk’s Head right next to Chii’s! ♪ Let’s work next to each other. ♪ Your short hair and everything literally fits the name of it SO perf. ♪

Huh? I mean, sure, but…is that thing about my hair supposed to be a compliment?

I see it. You’re very calm and patient like a monk too, Tao. Now for Kinari…

I will operate according to Master’s orders. Master, awaiting order.

Is that me?! Um, well…

Hmm, what about White Pond Hell? I think the name of it fits your vibe really well!

Yes, Master.

I’ll choose Monster Mountain Hell. It’s also known as Crocodile Hell, and I have quite a lot in common with reptiles.

(What exactly does he mean by that…? But since Kuguri-san is willing to participate, I won’t complain.)

The remaining hells are Blood Pond Hell, Spout Hell, and Cooking Pot Hell.

Raito-san, could I ask you to take on Blood Pond Hell? It’s a really popular photo spot, so I’m sure there will be a lot of guests.

Of course.

Nayuki-kun, you can take Spout Hell, and I’ll take Cooking Pot Hell. Does that sound okay?

…Yes, that’s fine. I’ll leave it up to you.

Alright! Let’s do our best, everyone!

Now that you’ve decided on your posts, I’d like to see how useful you’ll be to us. Could I ask you to work with the guests around here?

We’d be happy to! That sounds like a good time!

Hm, not bad, I guess. About what I expected. Alright, I’ll let you go now.

Guys, that’s not how you do it! Idols need to smile! Like, up your fanservice!

If Master orders me to, I will accept.

Th-This whole thing is harder than I expected…

You did really well for your first time! You’ll definitely get the hang of it eventually.

Let’s all think about what we can improve on and apply it to our individual work. Nayuki, since our spots are close to each other, would you like to have lunch with me?

…I’m heading off.

*pant, pant…* This whole ambassador thing is not what I thought it would be…

Hey, new kid!! Hurry up and carry those over here!

Ah, okay! Damn, this is heavy…

What’s in this thing…? Geez, they’re just making me their errand boy. This is practically a part-timer’s job…

*sigh…* It’s finally break time. Man, even getting outta jail didn’t turn my luck around.

(Wonder if Chihiro’s doing alright. He’s skinnier than me, so I dunno if he could carry heavy stuff like this.)

This is the photo spot! Yay! Let’s take a pic together!

O-M-G, so cute! This is totes gonna pop off! Remember to say that you took the pic with Natsuyaki Chihiro from Ev3ns. ♪

(W-Woah…! He’s going all in on the idol thing!)

Natsuyaki Chihiro, you’ve always been the only one for me! Can I take a picture with you?!

(Hm? Is that Kodama? Like, our head warden?! Why is he…wearing that disguise?!)

‘Kay-’kaaay. ♪ You came this far just for Chii? Thanksies! ♪ Let’s take a pic. ♪

Thank you so much!! I’ll treasure this for the rest of my life!!

(Chihiro’s a pro at this. There’s no way he doesn’t realize that’s Kodama…)

I can’t handle stuff like that… Man, what should I do…?
