Ch. 3: The World Record for Most Pairs of Underwear Worn

Vio: "Today I'm…aiming for the record for most pairs of underwear worn on top of each other!!"

 

Vio's loud voice echoed across the clear sky…-

 

A record for most pairs of underwear worn on top of each other…?

I repeated what he'd said in my head.

 

A prince is doing that…?

 

I was so shocked I couldn't speak, and Vio smiled like an imp.

 

Vio: "This record is in the humor category. I intend to be the top record holder in every single category!"

 

Not noticing my surprise, Vio started talking heatedly. It was as if I could feel the heat coming from his tightly clenched fist.

 

Vio: "I even dieted to make my waist as thin as possible for today."

 

[CHOICE]

  • You seem really passionate (SUN)

  • You went that far? (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vio: "By the way, the world record is 302 pairs. So I'm aiming for 303!!"

 

OO: "303!?"

 

Can you really even wear that many?

Suddenly, I looked around me and saw all the townsfolk who had gathered and who were shouting encouragement to Vio.

Well…from what I know, the Guinness World Records had some unusual records too.

 

Remembering that, I naturally broke into a smile.

 

Vio: "Hm? Hey OO, what's up? You're smilin' all of a sudden."

 

OO: "It's nothing. I'll cheer you on too!"

 

Vio had infected me, and I knew my voice had become cheerful and loud.

 

When we're together, I enjoy myself…he's a strange yet wonderful person.

 

Vio: "Yeah! Let's get to 303!!"

 

Getting more and more excited, Vio started his warm-up exercises…-

 

 

……

 

And then it started, the attempt to break the world record for most pairs of underwear worn on top of each other. The area was wrapped in a burning heat of enthusiasm.

 

Villager 1: "Prince Vio-!!"

 

Villager 2: "You can do it!! Only 100 more-!!"

 

Everywhere rang out with the shouts of encouragement and backing music. I felt as if I was going to be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of enthusiasm, an enthusiasm I'd never experienced before, and so I continued to support Vio.

 

OO: "Vio! You can do it!"

 

I figured my single voice was drowned out by the other voices, but I pushed my limits and raised my voice as loud as I could.

 

Moderator: "Well now, they sure are piling up! Just 88 more to go! 87!!"

 

The moderator and camera crew televising the event moved about in a flurry to rile up the crowd.

 

Vio: "Gh…it's getting tight…not yet…I'm not done yet!!!"

 

As Vio yelled, the voices in the crowd reached a new height of cheering. And I wanted Vio to hear my support somehow…-

 

[CHOICE]

  • Jump up and down (SUN)

  • Wave hands vigorously (MOON)

 

 

Vio noticed me, and smiled as he psyched himself up. Before long…-

 

Moderator: "Now then, only 3 more to go…!?"

 

Vio: "Oo…ugh, t-tight…ugh…get on…!!"

 

OO: "Vio…!"

 

Moderator: "Here we go! Two more! Only! Two! More!!"

 

Vio: "Gh…gh…gh……get in there…get….aaaaaaah!!!"

 

OO: "…!"

 

And then…when he only needed two more pairs to set a new record, the underwear he had put on gave a spectacular rip. Loud shouting echoed throughout the stadium.

 

Oh no…

 

Vio's expression, which had been overflowing with fighting spirit a moment ago, suddenly fell into shadow.

 

OO: "You seem to be really passionate about this."

 

Vio: "Yeah! I'm always serious and give it everything I've got."

 

His eyes burned with a fighting spirit, and he looked as if he was about to burst into red-hot flames.

OO: "Dieting…um, you even went that far for this?"

 

Vio: "Of course I did! You have to do anything and everything for the day when you challenge a record. That's my policy!"

 

I honestly admired the way he could focus so intensely on this one thing.

Ah, I know…!

 

OO: "Vio! Just a little more!!"

 

I frantically waved my arms so Vio would see me.

 

Then…

 

Vio: "…! Yeah! I'll keep putting them on!!"

OO: "Vio! I know you can do it!"

 

I kept jumping up and down, calling out encouragement to Vio when…

 

Vio: "…! OO, here we go! 10 more!!"
