NPC No. 57: “Just the kind of answer I’d expect from you, Monsieur Ouzos.”

Once we finished lunch, we already knew where we’d go next.

“When are they gonna hurry up and release the data-card of the Noisy Planet remake?”

“I keep telling you, it only just started airing—you can’t buy it yet. Anyway, they should have Demon Killer: Dream District, right?”

“When are the new volumes of The Pirates Strawhat and Frierise: Beyond the End of Travel coming out?”

We headed to the Mashitomo Building—that hallowed place for the planet’s otaku, crammed with all kinds of shops—to buy manga, novels, anime, and doujinshi.

All three of us rambled freely about our favorite anime and manga, and it was tons of fun. Though this might not have been acceptable behavior for working adults, we couldn’t help ourselves.

Animember had just been consigned to sell the latest doujinshi from Comic Festival, so making purchases from that lineup was our main objective.

Next, we strolled over to Seizaban, the secondhand shop in the same building, to see what bargain doujinshi we could unearth.

In the course of our otaku shop crawl that fundamentally involved nothing but shopping, we found we had frittered away four hours of the day. As a result, we all managed to get what we wanted, and as we left the Mashitomo Building with big grins on our faces, it was already evening. It was late enough that we could see people coming home from work, some of them stopping at places on the way for drinks.

No one in our trio drank alcohol, and we also wanted to get to reading the manga and novels we’d just bought. But as we headed to the nearest station so each of us could go home, we could hear a loud voice suddenly ring out behind us.

I turned to see a man of about forty standing on a beer crate, making a speech on the street corner with a shoulder-mounted speaker. There was a partition behind him with a number of inspiring posters displayed on it. A few other men and women handing out flyers nearby.

“What’s their deal?” I murmured without thinking. I’d never seen such a scene before.

“That’s a group trying to secure independence for their homeland—the empire invaded it,” Klus explained. “It sounds like they’re hoping to seize independence now during the reign of our fainthearted empress. If things go well, they even hope to destroy the empire.”

I tried listening to the man’s speech and found that Klus’s description was right on the money.

“The current empress is faint of heart, so let us rise now and free our colonized nation while we still can,” he protested.

“Sounds like they might attempt a coup d’état...”

I had only muttered that to myself as I listened to the speech, but Klus turned to me to ask what that would mean for me with an air of utmost seriousness.

“Won’t that mean payday for a mercenary like you?”

Indeed, from what the protestor had said, the probability of the group launching a coup d’état was extremely high.
