Just 10 minutes left! At this moment, it seems our hero Stardust has something to say! Let’s all listen in! Attention passengers, please focus!”
As my words ended, the camera started to turn towards her.
Stardust appeared slightly flustered by the sudden turn of events.
But perhaps it’s because she’s a professional hero. She quickly grasped the situation and began looking straight into the camera.
Then, she opened her mouth to speak.
“Hello everyone. I am A-class hero Stardust.”
And then, she began to deliver a speech suddenly.
“Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the person next to you?” she asked.
Despite the abrupt setting, she spoke with unshaken natural ease.
It was a generic speech about treating the person next to you as someone’s kind family member. About having faith in people. Those who trust will be blessed. Don’t worry, and so on.
It was a short speech that lasted about three or four minutes.
After her deeply persuasive speech concluded, I turned off the camera.
Looking around the cabin…
Some passengers had risen from their seats, shedding tears and clapping.
The captains threw the explosives into the sea without hesitation. Huh?
As everyone united in a chorus of praise, the 30-minute deadline approached.
The surviving passengers cried tears while congratulating and cheering each other. Uh…this was what I intended, but it was indeed dramatic. It felt like something out of an overly patriotic movie from the ’80s.
Regardless, Stardust seemed relieved that everyone had survived.
This will surely be up on YouTube tomorrow. [The K-hero who amazed Japan, shocked Europe, and made America jealous! Hear her words that brought passengers to tears and united them!] Something like that.
Alright. Time to start acting again.
I adjusted the camera to naturally capture the two of us…
Okay, and… go.
I twisted my body slightly, looking shocked as I gazed at the wall displaying the video.
“Wh-What? This can’t be right. These humans, these selfish humans…”
I muttered as if I was deeply flustered. A little louder, so the camera would pick it up well.
“It can’t be…”
But, well.
It’s not like such things couldn’t happen.
Some of the passengers and the captain were all people I had hired. Haha.
What if I had just left people alone
and pressed the trigger on the explosive?
Shows must be meticulously planned.
Things rarely happen exactly as the producer intends.
We always need to be ready for the unexpected.
To do that, controlling the situation is essential.
The captain and the passengers.
All following a scripted act.
Now, I must act well.
Pretending to look at Stardust with a bewildered gaze, I thought to myself.
Stardust, Stardust. Shin Haru.
In the original story, she was always oppressed and slandered.
Don’t worry.
I’ll make sure you only walk on a path of roses.
Manipulation and direction.
Lies and deception.
I’ll use whatever it takes.
Let’s begin the act.
“How can this be… what exactly is happening here?!”
