Amagi Brilliant Park had just closed up for the day, and it was time to wrap up for next day. "Sento, what are the numbers for today?" The assistant looked at the report. "A total of 902 visitors." He turned back to the computer. "It's good for a weekday. I expect more during holidays." A knock rang in the room. "I'll get it." Sento opened the door, only to meet part of a huge green head and a large purple eye. "Are you hiring?"
Manager and assistant led the newcomer to a separate room. "Sheron, right?" It was a bit of a surprise to see an Eastern dragon all of a sudden, but after it turned on a green haired woman, the interview started. "I wish to work here." He looked at the resumeé. "It says here that you worked at some large parks, so why here? You could have aimed for something like Dishney." Sheron scratched her horn. "I preferred a place with a fellow dragon." Sento recalled who was. "Oh, Rubrum." He glanced at the skills part. "You are a crafter and summoner, what are those exactly?" The dragoness pulled a few items from her bag: some bullet shells, a sniper and a pistol. Then she snapped her fingers, making a tiny tiger appear on Kanie's table. "I was in the Army in my world, they called me the best." Sento was staring at the sniper like a kid did with candy. "Go on, it only has my version of Painbringer." Kanie had a bad feeling. "It's thirty times the pain of a groin kick." He shrank a bit at the cheery tone.
The three stooges were eavesdropping by the door, scared of what this meant. "Did she just give that to her-ron?!" "Mii! It's really bad-mii!" "Fumo... I hope that it's the limited kind." They heard something that chilled them to the bone. "They're really simple to make, so I have a few crates of them laying around, it's even my favorite pastime." It was official, pissing Isuzu off had a much greater risk now, then they focused on the conversation.
As his assistant admired her new toy, Kanie decided to know better this potential hire. "What kind of attraction do you offer?" Sheron mused a bit. "I was thinking of a shooting game, the guests enter a track and have to pass by my summons. They come undone with contact." He flicked the tiger, that popped away. "Good, that means that the guests will be safe. So, a survival shooting track..." She seemed thoughtful. "What's the matter?" She made a worried face. "Why do I sense a grudge type curse here?" Kanie and Sento stared at her in shock. "I don't like to spread it, but I am a curse breaker as well." "You're hired!" Then three mascots barged in, shocking Sheron. "Get her-fumo!" "Eeh?!"
The green dragon was a bit overwhelmed for her quasi-kidnapping, and sitting in front of her was a small girl. "I am Latifa, may I know your name?" "Sheron. So you are the one with the curse. May I examine you?" She could feel the stares at her back. 'What will they do if I can't help her?' She focused on identifying the kind of energy affecting the girl.
"By the way..." Sheron turned to Isuzu. "Why do you hide your skill with curses? It's an asset that nobody would refuse." The dragoness turned back to her exam. "I don't know about your land, but there's a stigma towards the ones who can handle curses in most places, as one needs to know how to cast to know how to remove." Latifa got worried at her gloomy look. "I trust you! I can feel that you're a nice person!" She was pleased with the kind words from the princess. "I can see that I will appreciate working here." She messed the hair of the blonde.
Sheron looked at the group, who had hope in her words. "Well, I can't do anything..." The mood took a nosedive. "I have to research this, I feel that there is a way to undo the damage." Everybody cheered up. "Thanks-fumo!" She smiled, glad to be of help. "But it will be like... hardcore minesweeper, because there might be hidden curses if the caster had sufficient hate." Moffle cringed. "And if you fail in the process-fumo?" All eyes were on Sheron. "She will die."
A red dragon had seen the green one on the distance and got severely flustered. "By the gods! I haven't seen another one in a long time!" He rushed to organize his dwelling, but it wasn't like he expected a visit or something like that. "Aargh! It's so messy!" His room was stuffed to the top with his many trinkets, books, scrolls and such, all spread haphazardly. "I'm sorry my magazines, but I'll have to seal you for a while."
"What is he doing?" The Digerries watched as some tomes whacked the dragon as his cabinet threatened to fall. "Let's help him, I heard that a female dragon just got hired." The moles tended to Rubrum and spruced up his sleeping quarters. "Leave the job to us, go greet her!" The chief mole gave a thumbs up to the dragon.
Well... I'm starting a new story without even finishing my previous ones... But in my defense, I thought that the dragon was such a cutie to be forgotten!
*Keels over, sobbing*
