She pulled the trigger.
Bang.
Her HP returned to two minutes ago, but she didn’t stop. She wasn’t after healing this ti.
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
She fired several shots at herself in rapid succession, until she finally triggered the "Foolishness" bullet.
Raising the revolver high, she declared in triumph, her voice ringing out toward Foolishness.
"Look! Even the Dull Ga you made with your own hands doesn’t believe I was wrong!"
"It decided the one thought I needed to erase was this—thinking I’d lose Dull Ga today."
"So what gives you the right to sit on a divine throne and pass judgnt on ?"
"Foolishness is not a sin. Your arrogance is the greatest sin of all."
Her tone was calm now, but every word struck like a hamr, as if each one shattered a piece of the anger and hatred within her.
[Congratulations, player BS-Rita has acquired SSS-rank skill: Sin of Arrogance!]
[Congratulations, player BS-Rita has acquired SSS-rank skill: The Struggle of the Wretched!]
She didn’t bother to look at the new skills. Instead, she charged into the circle of skills swirling around them, then turned, cold eyes fixed on Foolishness.
The flood of spells surged over her body. Her blazing wings of fire dimd within the brilliance of a hundred kinds of magic. She looked like a dying fla, about to be extinguished in the storm.
Foolishness hovered silently in the air, face unreadable.
Then his expression shifted.
BS-Rita had just activated Mont Reversal.
Their HP bars were swapped.
And almost simultaneously, a new rule echoed across the sky.
"All entities in March The Park may no longer increase their HP through any skill."
It was the activation of One-Person Party.
As the countdown appeared above them, a weapon sliced through the air behind him.
BS-Rita didn’t run. She didn’t dodge. She was trying to kill him.
Foolishness moved aside, but the attack wasn’t over.
"Within three seconds, I will kill March’s Foolishness."
It was Heart of Deceit.
[Heart of Deceit (SSS)]: Your words beco reality. Cooldown is determined by how drastically reality is altered. (Current cooldown: 36 natural days)
Foolishness thought he had dodged, but a sudden gust—an air-type skill from who knows where—nudged him off balance. Her gacha machine tilted sharply.
It was as if he had thrown himself into her strike.
Smack.
Sothing hard slamd into the duck’s head. With equal stats and buffs, Rita took out the last 0.024% of Foolishness’s HP with ease.
He fell from the sky.
As Foolishness’s consciousness slipped away, he caught one last glimpse of her weapon.
Dull Ga.
She had done it on purpose.
He tried to take Dull Ga from her, and she used Dull Ga to finish him off.
The orbiting storm of skills, now without a master, collapsed with him from the sky.
He heard her voice one last ti.
"Truth or dare—was that your ga too?"
He didn’t have ti to answer. As his projection faded, his eyes held a mix of surprise and a smile that hadn’t had the chance to bloom.
BS-Rita hovered in the sky, looking down at the form of Foolishness, which slowly transford into a wrapped reward box.
That feeling of tearing everything open, of forcing soone to confront truth and darkness—it was all too familiar.
So familiar she thought she was looking at a nagging Soul Catcher.
When the skills finally faded away, silence descended over the park.
She looked up at the nearby players who seed ready to act but didn’t dare make the first move.
She dove, picked up the reward box.
The golden butterfly that had been resting on her gun barrel fluttered down and landed softly on the box.
Rita had a feeling.
She opened it.
Inside was a glowing golden bullet.
Its na: [Arrogance].

"Why would Foolishness even choose that skill? Where the hell did he dig it out from? I haven’t seen him use it in ages."
"Don’t tell he picked it specifically to deal with BS-Rita..."
"Shady."
"So he planned this from the start? I thought he only took an interest in her after the Dull Ga stuff."
"He didn’t actually go and dig through BS-Rita’s entire past, did he?"
"Don’t fall in love too hard!"
"He pissed her off again. I seriously thought she was gonna break down."
"Justice served."
"Deceitful Bloom is probably sobbing with envy."
"Really? I just watched BS-Rita shout about how she wasn’t wrong. Foolishness? He got cussed out to his face. And I’m supposed to be jealous?"
"As long as Deceitful Bloom’s happy."
"As long as Deceitful Bloom’s happy."
"But Foolishness wasn’t wrong. BS-Rita really is arrogant. She just hides it better."
"That title Divine Ga gave her last ti—’Pride Never Dies’—wasn’t wrong at all."
"But funniest thing? Foolishness, going ’Tell —who’s more arrogant, you or ?’ I’m gonna laugh about that for a whole star-sea year."
"Neither of them should be calling the other out."
"By the way, Deceitful Bloom, you still owe for showing up to beat BS-Rita last ti..."
"Yeah, too..."
"Yo! Look at this—Foolishness just crashed and burned!"
"Holy—"
"Aaaaah Foolishness wiped!"
"Wiped hahahaha~"
"Foolishness, if you can’t sleep, go ask Deceitful Bloom."
"For real. Getting schooled by BS-Rita after trying to ’educate’ her? Bloom’s been there."
"Foolishness, ∠(°ゝ°) rest well."
"Foolishness, ∠(°ゝ°) rest well."
"Foolishness, ∠(°ゝ°) rest well."
"When did she even get Heart of Deceit?"
"I was teaching her gacha machine chanics. She figured it out on her own. I kept asking if she knew how to solve certain builds. She just kept saying, ’I got this, teach!’ One ti, I asked while her ti-freeze skill was on cooldown, and she panicked—and had a breakthrough."
"..."
"Foolishness must’ve taken it hard. Why else was he still smiling after that beatdown?"
"Didn’t Deceitful Bloom react the sa way last ti?"
"BS-Rita’s cursed or sothing, huh?"
"Is she secretly born with so talent that guarantees she learns two SSS-level skills per Divine Ga from a demon?"
"Honestly, we just keep going to her. Whether we love her or hate her, we can’t stop picking fights. And we love watching her explode. You ever see Captain go near her? Never."
"Wait—what’s this? Another public vote?"
...
Across all 16 Month The Parks, everything froze again. Players halted, skills suspended midair.
A crisp, youthful voice echoed across every corner of the parks.
"I, Captain, propose a public vote: when a divine gaze falls, the chosen player shall be notified."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I disagree."
"I abstain."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I abstain."
"I agree."
[New Divine Ga Rule Established: From now on, when a god’s gaze falls, the chosen player will be notified.]
