idolpro | MAN☆EATER'S IDEAL WORLD ★ SESSION 2

When you close your eyes, bone-deep fatigue crashes over you like a wave—almost like it was just waiting to catch up to you the minute you stopped moving.

Within the darkness, you can just barely hear the echoes of distant voices, too faint to identify . . .

"Jealous of his normalcy? Maybe just a little."

"Man Eater is so scary! Man Eater is a killer! It's all very alarming but. . .that's all there is, isn't it?

Neeheehee, brutish as you may be, someone like you will never be more than that. You'll kill, and you'll die. Over and over, until it's permanent some day."

"And you're the same... Hitoshiki! The truth is you're just a serial killer who's only good for killing—so why are you going to school like some normal kid?! Leading a dual life when you don't even have a dual personality—it's not fair! Why only you?! It's not fair!"

"It's better not to fight, sometimes. I feel kind of sorry for you..."

"So what it comes down to is this. Would you rather stay what you are, or be happy?"

Gradually, those voices blend into the hum of a bustling crowd... naturally enough to make you wonder if perhaps you were just hearing things, after all.

[sidling up to her and taking her hand]

[ smiles just a bit, giving his hand a quick squeeze ]

... Hi ...

Wanna look around this place together?

Okay. There's definitely ...

... Other than that, there's definitely another way for us to leave, so we should try and investigate first, right?

Yeah. Of course.

[ lets her gaze drift over to some of the stalls, still holding onto his hand ]

. . . What do you think?

[shrug]

You know I'm more than fine with murder as a first resort.

. . . Mm.

[ ... ]

Well, for now, we should look at the rest of the festival, right?

Yeah. Let's see what we can find.

[ after talking to eater and hitoshiki a bit longer she's coming on back ]

Do you want to go into the school, or should we look at these -

[ ... ]

Um, they're called "stalls," aren't they...?

The stalls kinda look like set dressing to me, but who knows. There might be something to find if we check them out.

... Are you hungry?

Not really. Are you?

That "Russian Roulette Takoyaki" sounds like it could be nice to eat, doesn't it...?

[ you know, with no ulterior motives whatsoever ]

[doubt]

Fine, then let's try it.

[ yayyyy shuffling over there to order some

the most important part of any investigation ]

It looks like a pretty normal festival stall.

"Can I help you?" asks the student standing behind the booth.

Yeah, we'll have the russian roulette.

"Right away!"

She hands over a small carton of six takoyaki. (One of them is full of wasabi. BUT WHICH?!)

Thank you!

[ reaching for it, giving each one a good look ... ]

Doodle, which one do you think it is?

Not being able to tell is the whole point.

But we can guess before we start, can't we...?

[ well

she's picking one up and blowing on it briefly before popping it into her mouth. ]

Well, then my guess is it's not this one.

[grabs another one and noms it]

I don't think it was the one that I ate either...

They're really well-cooked, aren't they?

Yeah, not bad.

[considers the four remaining pieces]
