Track 7

What do you mean “the shop’s scrapping switch”...?!

Why the hell would you build something like that into a table!!

The switch was the perfect size, so I simply used it as a (temporary) table.

Uh, more like that switch is too big.

Ahh, ah, ajapope, papipu, po. Piiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Alert. Fuefuki-sama's heart rhythm is showing signs of disruption.

Wait, does that mean we’re actually trapped here...?

Nothing to panic about. For times like these, I have this—!

«This establishment will soon be demolished. It is dangerous to remain inside. Please evacuate immediately. I repeat—»

W-What!? What’s happening!? Demolished!? Evacuate!?

Let’s just get outside for now. Everyone, head towards Car No. 1...!

Ah! The shutters...

Damn it! The windows and doors won’t open—

!?

The door to Car No. 6 flew off!?

Open sesame!

*Cough, cough...!*

As a result of the impact from Yowa-sama's bazooka, the door between Car No. 5 and Car No. 6 has been opened.

Y-You...! What were you thinking, firing that thing off without warning!?

I don’t think he was thinking at all.

So, what’s the situation exactly?

I was just getting ready to scrap this shop, when...

I-I-I-I-I'm gonna die!! I’m gonna die right now and get minced and kneaded into an ingredient for a “Fuefuki” Meat Bun Burger!!

I think I get the gist.

So Fuefuki fucked up. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to lecture you to death later.

So that’s why the shutters closed!? We need to run, right...!?

Bingooo. But since the switch got flipped while I was still making it, all the windows and doors in every car are now locked.

We have no choice but to head to Car No. 1 while destroying the doors with the bazooka one by one.

So there ya go. I leave the running to Tengu!

Wait, you’re heavy...

And the shooting to Taa!

Wait, me!? Why...!?

A manager delegating tasks to his staff is the key to smooth multi-location business management, right?

B-But...!

Well, don’t sweat it. Just think of it like a game.

That’s easier said than done...!

Wait a second. If it’s a system issue, then I can go to Car No. 6 and check it out. We may be able to avoid destroying the shop you worked so hard to build.

I wouldn’t recommend that. It’s probably about time—

Wah! What was that sound!?

That was the sound of Car No. 6 being folded up.

What...!?

Piihyoro flipped on the scrapping switch, after all. You fold up cardboard and milk cartons before you put them out for recycling, right? It’s the same thing.

So it’s like that...

Agagagaga. So if we dawdle, we’re all gonna get turned into pancakes...!?

Start with that first, dumbass!!

~~~, sorry! I’m going to shoot the door to Car No. 4! Please stand back!

I-I did it...!

(Wow, impressive. Normally an amateur would get thrown off way more by the recoil.)

Alright. Let’s hurry and move on to the next car!

...!

(There’s too many people...!)

...Huh? Chef?

You look, pale, yes.

(! That’s right, Ushio-kun is bad with crowds...)

Mashiro, everyone, please! Stay close to Ushio-kun!

Roger, yes!

Ready, set!

*Squish!*

Th-Thanks, everyone...you too, Toi-san.

Launching. Vroom.

Is everyone okay?!

Kinouchi-kun! What exactly is going on...?

Briefly explain the situation.

This and that, that and this!

Such and such, blah blah!?

There you have it, so excuse me...!

! The bazooka’s blast sent Yowa-sama's Kawaii Peppah flying off the table—

Whoa!?

Kafka, watch out!

...!

Honestly, Yukikaze...it was just a bit of pepper. You didn’t need to shield me from...!

Guh... This situation is what I was afraid of...!

W-What...? Are you okay?

I couldn’t avoid it...a Kawaii traffic jam...!!

Huh?

Oh, if that hit Yukikaze-san, then it’s fine. He’s pretty much always like that anyway.

Okay everyone, please follow behind me!

Be careful not to cause a domino effect.

It’s a good thing we have the bazooka. I considered trying to break the shutter with Liguang, but...

It would have been difficult bare handed.

Heeey, Chihiro, is everyone safe—

Hunhah!!!

AND HE LANDS IT—!! A DIRECT HIT ON THE FRONT DOOR! RATATATA, ATA!!

Sakujiro! What are you doing?

...Phew. Oh? The young master has arrived as well.

Please wait just a moment. I will break through the shutter leading to Car No. 2 shortly.

With your bare hands...?

Riiight? It’s crazy! He called it the “Butler-style Karate Straight Punch”~.

That goes way beyond normal human limits.

Can I dissect you later!?

No dissecting.

Karigane-sensei, can do...anything...

Actually, is there anything Sakuchan-sensei can’t do...?

Gan-sen, fire a spirit blast from your hands next!! Or unleash 180 machine-gun jabs per second!!

Very well. Here I go.

Um, so I’m guessing you don’t need the bazooka here...?

Oh, you had such a convenient item with you?

Well, that would certainly have a higher success rate. I'll leave it to you, then.

Sorry to have kept you waiting!

Ah, Tao-kun.

Oooh, you guys made it.

Good work, everyone.

Muu-chan, are you okay?

Indeed, I am unharmed. I am glad to see you all are in good health as well.

Chief-chan, are you safe? No injuries?

I’m fine. I panicked at first, but everyone here was so calm... I ended up just having tea with them.

These are the kind of performers who hardly react and keep going at their own pace even in emergencies.

There wasn’t much we could do on our own after all.

Besides, it sounded like Sakujiro was doing something next door, so we figured we’d just wait it out.

Well, panicking is a waste of energy anyway.

Speaking of which...we haven’t seen Kuguri or Hachinoya-sama thus far.

Kuguri-san took Nagi-kun to Car No. 1 before the shutters went down.

Huh...I hope Hachinoya-san isn’t having anything weird done to him...

......

Kamina-sama, are you also concerned about Kuguri’s behavior?

No...

I finally got to see the chief, but the effect of the Kawaii Peppah wore off...

?

A’ight, Yoda, piggyback switch!

Oh...there we go.

Yup, Yoda’s back is definitely the comfiest!

I’m honored. Ten, thanks for looking after him until now.

Yodaka-san, aren’t you spoiling this guy way too much?

Well, he’s probably gonna get grilled to hell and back later, so this just evens it out.

Now then, let us rescue Kuguri and Hachinoya-sama from Car No. 1, and then make our escape through the entrance.

Alright, firing!

Kuguri-san, Hachinoya-san, are you here—?
