Sampo, who was watching the situation from a distance with binoculars, felt someone tap his shoulder.
He shuddered and stiffly turned his head.
Then...
Holy crap, the doll came to life?
"Clang clang!"
The doll suddenly emitted a firework-like sound.
Wait... this sound seems to be coming from behind me.
Sampo's heart skipped a beat, and he kept denying it in his mind.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Didn't that young lady go to penacony?!
Phew, right, she couldn't be in belobeg.
You're scaring yourself.
Sampo turned around and saw a familiar figure, and his vision went black.
"Hey! Isn't this... ah?"
Sambo's eyes darted around as he carefully considered his words, but before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him transformed into Xun Yu.
"happy."
"...Hey friend, you're being a bit..."
"Um?"
Seeing Xun Yu's gaze, Sampo immediately wilted.
"You're really something! By the way, I haven't asked you what your relationship is with Hanabi. We're old acquaintances."
"We're all one family, so let's not hurt our relationship no matter what... what do you think?"
Seeing Sampo admit defeat at lightning speed, Xun Yu's lips twitched.
Yeah, that's so typical of Uncle Cold Legs.
"Want to know? Come closer."
This tone...
If it weren't for the fact that fireworks are unlikely to appear here, and Xun Yu's style doesn't seem quite right...
Sampo approached Xun yu with an unchanged expression.
"actually..."
"I am Lady Hanabi's dog!"
It was like having a huge speaker right next to his ear; the loud sound made Sampo's head buzz.
His mind was filled with the phrase, "I am Hanabi-sama's dog."
The key point is that when Xun Yu shouted this sentence, he used Sampo's voice!
Sambo only recovered after being surrounded by the Express crew and the light and dark leaders of the Wildfire.
"...Heroes and warriors?"
Sambo wore a slightly obsequious smile, but inwardly he wore a mask of pain.
His big eyes darted around... Oh no! There's no way out!
Stare~
Seeing that everyone was staring at him without saying a word, Samoo's eyelids twitched wildly.
"Hey...buddy? sis? Say something...I was just passing by..."
Xun Yu pointed to the telescope on the ground.
"Haha... Enjoying the scenery..."
Stare~
Sampo was horrified to discover that everyone's faces looked like they had been copied and pasted, all bearing the same expression.
As if sensing that Sampo had noticed this, the corners of their mouths began to turn up.
The bizarre scene gave Sampo a chill down his spine.
Something's not right! Something's extremely wrong!
Could he have entered some kind of supernatural or bizarre story?
Or is it...?
"Hey friend, is it really necessary to target only me?"
Click~
The surrounding environment shattered like a mirror.
Snap snap snap~
Sampo heard the applause, turned around, and sure enough, it was Xun Yu.
"Sigh, I was hoping to play a little longer."
Seeing the regretful expression on Xun Yu's face, Sampo's lips twitched.
Sampo rolled his eyes inwardly as he felt a faint phantom pain in his buttocks.
You're such a troublemaker, go ahead and play your game. Who can beat you?
This guy seems to be a shameless fun-loving person, no wonder he can hang out with Hanabi.
And that line, "I am Hanabi-sama's dog"...
While not absolute, it's still highly likely.
The masked fool has done plenty of things to make himself the source of amusement, all for the sake of having fun.
"But you're right, it's pointless to just keep an eye on you."
"Huh? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Upon hearing this, Sampo snapped out of his daze and looked at Xun yu with a suspicious expression.
You said: The Masked Fool doesn't deceive the Masked Fool.
"The Masked Fool does not deceive the Masked Fool, swearing in the name of the Aeon of Elation."
Seeing this, Sambo turned to face Xun yu and walked away backwards.
Only when Xun Yu was completely out of sight did he throw a smoke bomb that exploded at his feet.
When the smoke cleared, Sampo had vanished without a trace.
Xun Yu, who was standing still, smiled and took out several mechanical dogs wearing Aha masks.
"Although, I am experiencing Elation right now."
"Leaving a happy ending is also part of the joy."
"Really, you don't believe me?"
"If I don't scam you, who will I scam?"
And that firework doll might surprise him sometime.
"Aha, go!"
At Xun Yu's command, the Aha brand mechanical dog sprang into action.
"Aha, here I come!"
The pack of mechanical dogs tore through space to find Sampo.
Xun Yu noticed that some of Aha's consciousness was attached to it, and was stunned for a moment.
"I laughed."
.....
Bronya was in a state of turmoil and wanted to calm down, so Seele accompanied her as they wandered around the lower districts. Before long, they arrived at the place where she grew up.
The two chatted there, sharing their past experiences.
Seele became curious when Bronya's "vulgar language" was mentioned.
What vulgar things would Bronya, such a quiet girl, say?
"..."
Bronya blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly.
"I represent the will of the city builders, and I'll shove a gun down your nose!"
"Haha, that's it? It's like tickling through a boot, not exciting at all. Looks like I'll have to teach you a few slang terms before you leave."
Seele couldn't help but laugh.
With that one smile, the two started talking non-stop.
On the other side, Xun Yu was happily munching on sunflower seeds, occasionally flashing a maternal smile.
So sweet, so easy to ship!
As expected, no matter which world they're in, the Rebirth/truth pairing is always so appealing.
[TL note: it's previously Sapphire Blue/Umami but I changed it into rebirth/truth because it sounds appealing to me]
"Hey! Xun Yu, are you alright? You've been staring at thin air and grinning like an idiot ever since."
March 7th waved his hand in front of Xun Yu.
"Huh? Oh, nothing, I just thought of something interesting."
