Ambassador of Hell

Wow, there’s so much steam~! It really feels like an onsen¹ town.♪ Isn’t it cool AF!?

It’s really cool how the steam rises out from underneath the streets here and there. The view in Beppu is really something.

Our job is to serve here as Hell Ambassadors, right, Chief?

Order accepted. I will head to hell at once.

Hell… huh. I guess I’ll go check it out first and decide what to do from there.

Ah… You guys are the convicts that got promoted to Tourism Ward Mayors. Sigh… I’ll accommodate you all since the higher ups told me to, but…

One person can help out at each of the different Hells. I’m not expecting much, but at the very least, don’t cause any trouble.

There’s not much we can do about it. They’re still prisoners on parole. It was a struggle to even land this job, so it’s good enough for me that they accepted us.

Chiefie, cheer up~? This is how it goes for newbie idols.

That’s right, it’s normal for things not to go well in the beginning. Let’s show our sincerity and earn their respect.

For the time being, there are seven Hells, so should each person take one?

Here here! Chii’s good with Sea Hell³.

It’s pretty~. ♪ And there’s pudding~. ♪

Sounds good. You seem like you’d be great at handling customers.

Taotao, take charge of Muddy Monk Hell⁴, ‘kay? It’s close to me at Sea Hell~. ♪ The shaved head theme kinda suits Taotao, too~. ♪

Eh? That’s fine, but… is that supposed to be a compliment…?

Indeed, the calm disposition of a Buddhist monk does seem to fit you well. Then, Kinari…

I will follow my Master’s orders. Master, your order, please.

Yes, Master.

Then, I think I’ll go to Oniyama Jigoku. It’s also known as Crocodile Hell⁶. I have an affinity for reptiles.

The remaining ones are Blood Pond Hell⁷, Tornado Hell⁸, and Furnace Hell⁹.

Got it.

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

Now that everyone has decided on a post, I’d like to see a trial run. Can you provide hospitality service to the customers that are here?

Of course, please leave it to us! Hospitality service seems like it’ll be fun!

Hmm, I see… It’s not terrible, but… It’s about what I expected. Well, I’ll leave the rest to you all.

Everyone, that was no good at all~!! An idol’s life is their smile! You have to do more fan service!

I will accept the order if it’s from Master.

H-hospitality is unexpectedly difficult…

Let’s each apply what we’ve learned from this experience at our own posts. Nayuki, since your location is nearby, should we get lunch together?

… I’m off to my post.

Huff huff… This is completely different than what I thought an ambassador’s job would be…

Hey, newcomer!! Hurry up, and move those goods!

Ah, yes! It’s so heavy…

What’s even inside this box…? So far most of the work has been minor errands. Isn’t this just a part-time job…?

Sigh… Finally, a break. I guess I’m still unlucky even after getting out of prison.

(Now that I have time to think, I hope Chihiro’s doing okay. He’s thinner than me; I wonder if he can carry all this heavy stuff.)

Over here is the best photo spot~! Yay, let’s take a picture together~.

There, say, “Hell~!” This is definitely going to be buzzworthy! Of coz, the appeal is taking pics with Ev3ns’s Chihiro Natsuyaki. ♪

(A-amazing…! He looks like a real idol!)

Chihiro Natsuyaki-san, I’ve always been your fan—! Can I take a picture with you!?

(Hmm? Isn’t that the head warden, Kodama…!? And that disguise… What is he doing here!?)

Yep yep. ♪ You came here all the way to see me~? Thankies~. ♪ Of coz, let’s take a snap together~. ♪

Thank you so much! I’ll treasure it forever…!!

(Chihiro’s really a pro. I’m sure he noticed that it’s Kodama…)

I don’t think I’d be able to handle that kind of thing… Now what do I do…?
