Ambassador of Hell

All this steam is uber cool~! It really makes this place look like a Hot Spring town ♪ This is so hype!

There’s steam coming out of all of Beppu’s streets… It’s pretty charming.

Chief, our job here is to be Ambassadors of Hell, correct?

Yes! Everyone’s going to be doing that in order to promote Beppu’s main tourist attraction and boost its popularity…

Command processed. Departing for the Hells immediately.

K-Kinari-kun, slow your roll. That wasn’t a command, either…

(Ever since what happened at the airport, Kinari-kun’s been super obedient… What happened to him?)

The Hells, huh… I’ll take a look at what kind of place it is first, then decide on what to do.

Oh… You’re the group of ex-convicts that ended up being Ward Mayors, huh. (Sigh)… I guess you all will have to do, but only because I got orders from my boss.

(W-Why the poor treatment… Things already don’t look so good.)

One person helps out in each Hell. Don’t cause a ruckus, though I’m not getting any of my hopes up for ya.

This doesn’t feel very welcoming…

With the group still on parole, there’s not much we can do about that. Getting this job took a lot of insisting, so the fact that we have it is better than nothing.

Cheer up, Chiefy~ This is just how it is for idols who are starting out.

That’s right. Not everything goes perfectly from the beginning. Let’s show them we’re serious about this and gain their recognition.

Anyway, there are seven Hells. So, each person should take one, yes?

Word! Chii wants the Sea Hell!

It’s super dazzable~♪ There’s pudding too~!

That should be fine. You look like you’re good at helping visitors, Chihiro.

(I’m counting on you, Raito-san, Chihiro-kun…!)

Taotao, you can take the Shaven Head Hell¹ so that you can be close to mine~♪ Monks lowkey fit your vibe too, Taotao! ♪

Huh? Sure… but is saying that monks fit me supposed to be a compliment…?

I would think so, since the calm atmosphere of it may be your element, Tao. As for Kinari…

I will follow Master’s orders. Master, your command.

By “Master”, do you mean me?! Um, let’s see…

Ummm, how about the White Pond Hell? I think the white color would really match your vibe, Kinari-kun!

Yes, Master.

I guess I’ll take the Demon Hill Hell, then. It’s also known as the Crocodile Hell, and reptiles and I are quite compatible.

(What does he mean he and reptiles are compatible…? I guess it’s fine if Kuguri-san was able to make a quick choice.)

So that leaves the Blood Pond, Geyser, and Cooking Pot Hells.

Raito-san, could you take the Blood Pond Hell? It has a lot of visitors and it’s pretty good for taking pictures.

Got it.

Nayuki-kun, would it be alright if you took Geyser Hell and I took Cooking Pot Hell?

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

Alright! Give it your best, everyone!

Now that you’ve all decided where you’re going to go, show me how useful you guys can be. Can you keep these tourists entertained?

Of course, just let us handle it! This seems fun!

Hmm, so that’s how it turned out. Well… not bad. I did say I didn’t have my hopes up, so this went about as well as I expected it to. I’ll leave the rest to you.

Guys, this is kinda flopping~! Being an idol is all about smiling! Do some more fan service too!

If Master orders it, then I will process the command.

Th-this “hospitality” thing is a little tough…

For your first try, that was pretty good! You’ll definitely get more used to it eventually.

Let’s make sure to use what we’ve learned from today to improve our work at our own posts. Nayuki, since ours are so close, how about getting lunch together?

…I’ll be going noooow.

(Pant pant)… When they said we were going to be ambassadors, this definitely isn’t what I had in mind…

Yo, newbie! Bring those bags over here, pronto!

Oh, got it! So…heavy…

What’s in this thing? We’ve just been doing chores this whole time. This isn’t any different from working a part-time job…

(Sigh)… It’s finally time for a break. Even after getting out of prison, I’m still down on my luck.

(Come to think of it, how’s Chihiro’s holding up? Since he’s smaller than me, can he even carry luggage and stuff like this around?)

This is such a dazzable photo spot~! Yay, let’s take a selfie!

Woah, it turned out so good~! It’s for sure going viral! Make sure you say that you took it with Ev3ns’s very own Natsyuaki Chihiro, ‘kay? ♪

(A-awesome…! He’s really got this idol thing down!)

Natsuyaki Chihiro-saaan! You were my pick since the very beginniiiing! Could you… take a picture with me?!

(Huh? Is that… chief warden Kodama?! He’s in disguise… What is he doing?!)

Yup ♪ You came all the way out here? Thanksies ♪ We can totally take a pic together~♪

Thank you very muuuuuch! I’ll treasure this foreverrrr…!

(Chihiro’s such a pro. He had to have noticed that’s Kodama…)

I don’t think I’m cut out for something like this… What am I gonna do…?
