Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Day 5 of resort operations, evening.

The time had come.

I checked my outfit in the facility office.

Over the signature yellow mascot fur, I fastened a dignified golden bow tie.

And on the horns, I placed golden glass ornaments like flowers…

Lastly, I held armfuls of glow sticks.

Now, all preparations are complete.

Once the mascot, having carried out the ceremony, truly becomes the owner of the resort, the third facility can be opened.

Thanks to the Blue Mascot perfectly settling the event funds, the budget is generous.

When I entered the lobby during the busy evening hours, guests looked my way at my appearance.

I handed out glow sticks to each of them.

The standard mascots also waved and generously handed out small glow sticks to visitors.

The ceremony I chose was an illumination. A festival of beautiful lights.

It’s a perfect match for Flower Golden Resort. As a flawless ceremony, it will further elevate the prestige of this resort, demonstrating a dignity incomparable to a certain loud parade.

I led the guests to the back of the resort building.

The huge, beautiful rear gate that had been set up in advance opens.

Oooooooo—

It looks desolate.

The grounds of the dark resort, long after sunset, are shrouded in darkness, and only the theme park lights twinkle in the distance.

But even that is about to end.

The moment the mascot raised its hand…

Lights began to sparkle all across the garden.

Ooooohhhh—!

The night garden blooming in gold glittered and danced strangely.

The glow sticks given to guests, shaped like flowers blooming on branches, also lit up, each flower shining with its own light.

Oooooohhhhh—!

Cheers and shouts from the guests rang through the garden.

Some guests were crying or laughing, even wailing on the ground in awe.

Now, preparations are complete.

– We would like to thank everyone who visited Cheerful Theme Park again today.

Soon, our Twinkle Illumination will begin at Flower Golden Resort. We hope you’ll join us and witness the birth of the magnificent Flower Golden…

I took a deep breath.

‘Let’s do this well.’

The mascot must absolutely take center stage for the finale of this show.

And after that…

“Oh, now we’re opening the third facility!”

That’s right.

I nodded proudly at Supervisor Lee Seonghae, who had come over.

“That’s great. The other zones have, like, ten attractions each, right? I think it’d be good to have that many more here too.”

No. I’m going to cut ties and leave immediately…

But as the mascot, I couldn’t say something like that out loud, so I just stood there quietly.

If I bring up another topic… Ah, that’s right.

“Yes?”

I’d been curious for a while.

How exactly did Supervisor Lee Seonghae escape the red zone, and how did she survive a full day there?

Might as well ask now to relax a bit.

“Oh, I got one stamp on my ride ticket. But that rabbit kept chasing me! I couldn’t ride anything else. They wouldn’t let me enter the blue zone at all.”

As expected.

“So I went the other way!”

……

Huh?

“You can actually go to the opposite forest, you know? Once business hours end, there were weird noises from the theme park, but even if that crazy rabbit chased me into the forest, it was a bit slower there.”

Probably because it wasn’t its own zone.

No, but…

Does that mean you circled all the way through the opposite forest and came out to that forest over there?

‘Unbelievable.’

“So when I got here, I saw the resort!”

“But isn’t it cool? Heehee.”

Yeah. It’s really cool.

To escape here by dodging Magic Bunny.

Even if the mascot slowed down after leaving its own zone…

……

Wait.

“Yes!”

“Yup!”

If the forest isn’t considered someone’s zone, I can understand that.

But that’s not the real issue.

“Yes, yes! It chased me almost the whole way! Once I got here, it couldn’t come out and got blocked, though!”

……

The Magic Bunny…

…knows how to get…

…to the Yellow Zone.

– Kyahahahaha!

“……”

“…Mr. Mascot?”

I turned my head.

With the garden’s creation, the once-ruined ground had been developed.

And it brought the zones even closer, now completely adjacent.

The forest.

And the light from the garden shone all the way into the depths of the forest.

And thus, it is revealed.

A red path.

And standing silently on it.

C a u g h t , H u h ?

The red mascot moves.

The Magic Bunny, who had spent the last four days clearing the forest to expand it its own zone, now begins the final phase.

Wearing overalls, the mascot raises its hand, and between the forest and garden, a device decorated with a cute rabbit drawing rises up.

A gate.

A facility connecting the two zones.

And then.

– Kyahahahaha!

A flood of long-term red zone guests and missing persons comes pouring in through the gate, running down the path.
