Episode 11: Lolis are Justice Part Two
“You must be Mr. Juncheng An! I’ve come to greet you. The Princess is waiting for you.
The one leading them was a loli with pink hair, heterochromatic eyes, and twin tails. She looked very chuunibyo, but because she was a loli, she had a unique aura of submissiveness.
If it were just one loli, it would be fine. The problem was that there was a whole circle of lolis surrounding them.
“Juncheng, when did you end up getting involved with the Japanese Princess?”
“I don’t know…”
What princess? I have no recollection of anyone like that.
It’s not like Roman Holiday; I don’t remember meeting any foreign princesses.
Besides, I was in my own country the whole time. I wasn’t online trying to pick up girls, so how could I possibly have had the chance to meet a foreign princess online?
But they called out my name, so they shouldn’t have the wrong person.
However…
I looked around again, at the dozen or so lolis surrounding me, and sighed.
“I mean, no matter who your princess is, do you really need to send this many children to see me?”
Although there’s a saying, “Please them to win their hearts,” perhaps they got wind of my liking for lolis and sent a group of them to meet me.
But please, I’m not a pervert to that extent.
“Children…”
The pink-haired loli with heterochromatic eyes and twin tails tilted her head, repeating the word “children” as if she hadn’t understood who I was referring to.
“Ah, are you referring to us? Pfft, Hahahahaha~”
Then, as if she’d figured something out, she burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.
What’s so funny about that? Aren’t lolis also children?
“Um, are you not watching TV?”
“TV?”
Who watches TV anymore? Most people probably don’t even have a TV at home these days, and if they do, it’s likely just connected for gaming on their host.
However, when I lived with Ling, we did have a TV. Every time we ate together, we’d habitually turn on the news channel. Ling said that watching the news allowed her to understand ‘herself’ from multiple perspectives.
And since Yi rarely went out, even when I took her places, she remained unfazed. However, she did seem to have some interest in watching movies, so the TV at home also served another purpose: movie appreciation with Yi.
But this loli must not be referring to watching movies when she mentioned TV.
“Yes, television… Ah, I heard from the innkeeper that you suddenly checked in yesterday evening. This means that from New Year’s Eve until now, you’ve been in a state of ‘unable to receive external information’…”
“That…”
I was indeed in a place where I couldn’t receive signals before.
Xiao An’s island was a place literally “cut off from the world,” so of course, there was no signal.
But the innkeeper?
Then it struck me: the innkeeper was also a loli…
I remembered that the person who received us was also a loli. I thought she was the innkeeper’s daughter, but she was actually the innkeeper?
Wh-why are they all lolis?
Lolis, it’s all a conspiracy.
“In any case, please get in the car. I’ll explain everything on the way.”
“Uh, you’re going to drive?”
“Yes. Oh, don’t worry, the driver’s seat is specially modified, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to reach the accelerator or brake.”
“That’s not the issue…”
A loli driving?
Doesn’t something about this feel off?
Let alone driving, just letting her sit in the driver’s seat would probably attract the police.
“I said I’d explain on the way. Please get in the car.”
It seemed they weren’t planning on letting us leave, so I had no choice but to get into the sedan with them.
The back seat of the sedan was spacious, like the luxury cars often seen in anime.
The other lolis who had been watching didn’t get in the car. Only two lolis with expressionless, “sanmu” (three-nos) personalities got in with the pink-haired loli.
Phew, I finally escaped the loli encirclement.
However, I soon realized that the “loli encirclement” was far from over.
Because… on the road, in the car, everywhere I looked, the people I saw were all lolis.
All of them were lolis!
“It’s children everywhere…”
Even Saint said so, so it’s definitely not just my hallucination. Everyone on the street is truly a loli!
“Damn it, is this really Japan?”
Could Xiao An’s island be connected to another world?
No, the world rules that Ling and I established have abolished inner worlds and other pocket dimensions like other worlds. There’s only one infinitely looping mega-world. There shouldn’t be any special places like this where “everyone is a loli.”
“Yes, this is Saga Prefecture.”
Lan said, clapping her hands.
“Oh, I know! That’s the place with the zombie idols!”
“I think your impression is a bit strange… No, you say this is Saga Prefecture? So, this is Kyushu Island?”
“Yes, it is indeed Kyushu Island.”
Kyushu Island…
It’s the same landing spot we initially predicted.
We’d already roughly judged that Xiao An’s Yamatai Kingdom should be not far from Japan’s Kyushu Island.
But why are there lolis everywhere?
The answer was obvious.
“Are you guys… Eden?”
If anyone could create a place where everyone was a loli, it would have to be Eden, an organization gathered by perverted lolicon enthusiasts.
Zhao Zili had said that those lunatics even wanted to turn the entire world’s population into… Looking at this, it seems they’ve already started their plan.
The pink-haired loli showed no surprise at having her identity revealed. Instead, she smiled mysteriously.
“Eden, that’s what it used to be called. Of course, many people also called us Paradise. But now, we have a new designation. Paradise is no longer an organization’s name.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think it would be faster for you to see for yourself rather than for me to explain. That way, you can get a more direct understanding of what has happened.”
When she turned on the TV screen, there was no need to change the channel; a news broadcast was already playing.
It was a domestic news channel, so I could understand it.
The reporter seemed to be reporting live from the scene.
“At the moment the New Year’s bell chimed, an unknown entity located in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu Island, Japan, hacked into the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) and broadcasted nationwide. The content announced the independence of Kyushu as a special zone, named [Paradise].”
“Pfft!”
I spat out my drink.
What in the world?
Kyushu, as a special zone, declaring independence?
Named Paradise?
“You’re saying, is this real?”
“Yes. They quickly deployed the police and self-defense forces, along with borrowed military weapons and vehicles, but they were ineffective. An order was immediately issued to block off the entire Kyushu Island. In essence, it was a crushing defeat, and they were forced to allow Kyushu to be occupied.”
“Occupied….”
It’s only natural that they couldn’t win.
Even A SF Light Novel
The Eden organization, while being a crazy lolicon organization, does possess considerable strength. At the very least, they have a bunch of ability users.
“…Currently, the shocking declaration of independence was made just last night, and its effects are continuously expanding. An incident like this is unprecedented in the world, and their background is intriguing… This station’s correspondent in Japan will continue to follow the story.”
Ordinary people wouldn’t know their background, but a few people should be aware of Eden’s existence.
What’s truly intriguing is this sudden act of declaration.
Abandoning the style of a secret organization and openly revealing themselves, and their debut causing a global sensation?
Aren’t they afraid of provoking a worldwide counter-attack?
“What… exactly are you guys?”
“A sound and unwavering non-profit corporate organization.”
“You’re just beating around the bush… Fine, let me ask another question. What do you guys want? Didn’t you try to kill me before?”
“You’re mistaken. Those who attacked you were from the radical faction, not our members.”
“You have internal divisions?”
“It is precisely in order to completely eliminate the radical faction that Her Highness the Princess has chosen to reveal herself publicly.”
“Just who is Her Highness the Princess…”
“Ah, it just so happens to be on screen. You’ll know when you see it.”
So I looked up at the screen again.
On the screen was a press conference, with a throne in the center.
The person sitting on the throne…
“Oh? Isn’t that little Xun-Xun?”
My eyes widened as I saw Xuan’er sitting on the throne, speaking with great authority.
“I, Kaoru Tsukiyose, in accordance with my qualifications and responsibilities as the Lord of Eden, hereby report that this place has been designated as a new zone of Paradise.”
