…

“Bahahaha!” I burst out laughing, “So! So! How’d it feel?” I asked.

“How’d it feel…?” Luna repeated.

“Leaving everyone on a cliffhanger! It felt great, didn’t it!?”

“…No.” Luna said sounding untruthful. She was trying to hide her smile!

“Lies! You enjoyed it, didn’t you!?”

“…Not at all.” She said. She wouldn’t look at me.

“Look me in the eyes and say you didn’t enjoy it with a straight face!” I said.

Luna bit her lips and then looked at me, she was trying really hard not to smile. I leaned in and whispered,

“Come on, say it.”

That seemed to break her as she started to laugh,

“Hahaha!” She continued, “Fine! I admit it! It’s fun!”

“I knew it!” I exclaimed with a smile.

No one can resist a good troll! Hehe!

Now, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. By doing this—putting Luna out there on video—a lot more things become obvious. For one, not to brag, but Luna and I are both pretty eye-catching, we’re recognizable, especially when we’re together. So, any random passerby who knows a little about Raccoon will realize it’s us.

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

And also, if one of those people who were searching into BinLover and ElectricTypeMouse finds out what Luna looks like, they’ll easily put two and two together. So, I’m really not expecting the secret to be hidden for much longer.

But! That’s fine! It’s a consequence Luna and I are willing to accept. But, what she doesn’t know is that this is a part of my bigger plan. Hehe, we’ll see if that comes into fruition later.

…

There was a lot of hype for the bouncy potions; Some people were even calling it a Christmas miracle. After I posted that advertisement, thousands of posts flooded the internet with questions related to the bouncy potion. The biggest one being how many I planned on selling.

Now, it’s a little mean of me, but a part of me wanted to sell a singular bouncy potion for the giggles. I mean, I did say ‘limited stock’ after all. Honestly, it would be hilarious considering I even told them to mark their calenders.

But sadly, even in my most mischievous mood, I couldn’t do it. These bouncy potions were the ‘start’ of my career as an alchemist. Any random alchemist off the street could produce mana or buff potions, but, it’s a different story when you’re creating something new.

How well these potions do will determine how I’m regarded as an alchemist in the future. Whether I’m just a two-trick pony who can only make explosives and delicious potions, or, an innovator who will bring a lasting wave to the alchemy scene.

And I’ll fine that out soon…There’s only a week left until Christmas. But…Rather than being nervous about that…

I’m way more nervous about meeting Luna’s parents; Luna and I were going to spend Christmas Eve at her parent’s house. I’m starting to understand how Luna felt when I told her my parents were coming over for the first time.

Even though it’s a week away…I can’t help but be anxious.

Haah…Let’s just leave that to later me to deal with. For now, let’s just focus on the things right in front of me.

And by that, I mean the final video that chairman gramps had sent.

This one was scheduled to released just three days before Christmas. So, on the 22nd. This trailer was going to flat out reveal the Little Bomber collaboration and the production class update.

All I had to do was give my affirmation. So! As I lay in bed, I pressed play and started to watch the video.

The screen showed a first person POV of someone standing behind a cauldron filled with gray liquid.

“Hehe!” A mischievous giggle echoed from behind the camera.

Hands entered the frame, revealing painted mostly black nails with the exceptions being the rings and thumbs. Those nails were white with a cute design of a mouse on them.

The hands reached over, grabbing a green plant-like material and dropping it into the liquid below. Then, they put their hands on the sides of the cauldron. Brilliant purple mana was injected into the cauldron and gradually, the color of the liquid inside started to change.

The scene switched to show a squad of three people approaching a fenced off area. The fence was multi-colored; Some parts were red, others were blue, pink, purple, green, yellow, just about any color out there. At the top of the fence was barbed wire—anyone could tell it was meant to keep people out.

“What is this?” The mage asked.

“Uh…No clue?” The knight replied, “But look at that!” He pointed to an enchanted shield lying on the ground, “I need that, do you think there’s an entrance if we follow the fence?”

“Follow the fence?” The rogue repeated, “Screw that, let’s just hop it.” And without even waiting for a reply, the rogue started to climb the fence and when he reached the barbed wire, he used a skill and started to cut a hole into it.

“Why not just cut through the fence itself?” The mage asked.

“…” The rogue paused and looked at the mage before silently hopping down and cutting a hole just large enough to fit through in the fence.

“Done.” The rogue said, heading inside.

“Sweet!” The knight followed and the mage did as well soon after.

Slowly, the camera panned away from the group and followed the fence. Soon, we reached a large entrance—it looked like a theme park entrance. Gradually, the camera panned up to show the large sign that was glowing.

‘LITTLE BOMBER’S FUN ZONE’

The ‘fun’ part of the sign was flickering on and off. There was a small design of a raccoon sitting on the ‘bomber’ part of the sign.

Then, an explosion sounded in the distance.

The scene quickly switched to showing a blacksmith standing in front of an anvil. He was hammering a clean looking sword.

Then, it showed a leather worker stitching together a helmet. The scene switched again and that same leather helmet was now in front of an enchanter, who was engraving runes onto it.

Another scene switch later, the screen showed a party of three carefully walking through an abandoned run down theme park. The odd part was that the attractions were still on, the theme park’s mascot—a raccoon wearing a large pointy hat—looked as if it was watching them from every angle with the amount of models and artwork there was.

The party had a nervous look on their faces, like they were on edge.

Suddenly, a loud noise startled the party as they all flinched and turned their attention to the source: A carousel. It spun round and round, humming a childish tune.

“Hey…uh…How about we just leave? This place is weird.” The priestess said.

“Yeah…I don’t remember it being this creepy.” The berserker said.

“Was the mascot always a…raccoon?” The mage asked.

“I don’t think so…” The priestess replied, “I remember coming here as a kid with my parents. Back then, the mascot was some cartoon character.”

“Right, wasn’t it Jumbo?” The berserker said.

“Forget about that, can we leave?” The priestess urged.

“Yeah…Let’s get out of here.”

As they started to walk, the mage noticed a robe on a bench just a few meters away. It was enchanted and oddly clean.

She wanted it.

“Hold on just a moment.” The mage said and started heading towards the bench.

“Forget about it, we should just leave now.” The priestess said.

“It’ll only take a moment.” The mage replied.

The mage made her way to the bench and grabbed the robe. But, just as she lifted it up she heard a childish giggle coming from the robe. Before she could react…

BOOM!

The scene switched to showing dangling legs, kicking the air playfully. It panned out, gradually revealing more and more of the person. She wore white leather boots, a design of a raccoon chasing a mouse was on the side of them. Translucent stockings and a garter belt covered her legs and covering that was a cute red skirt. On her right thigh was a leather leg pouch. For her upper body, she wore a sports bra and black cardigan.

Soft, long blonde hair briefly revealed itself before being shown in full glory. And finally, covering the entirety of her face was a pure black mask. Slowly her right hand moved to her mask.

She gently began to lift it, slowly revealing the bottom half of her face. Then, she showed a toothy smile and mouthed the word ‘boom’.

The screen cut to black, but, it didn’t end there.

After a moment, the screen revealed Raccoon bouncing on the ground.

Casually, she tossed a potion towards the camera and then an explosion followed.

The video ended there.

“Woah!! That was great!” I said to myself.

I really liked how it came out. The only thing it didn’t show was the vehicle and weapon skins. That was fine.

Something fun to note was that the reason they had white boots as my footwear was because I asked for it. I had actually commissioned someone to make those for me! Hopefully they’ll be made and delivered before my next floor attempt.

I wanted to get better equipment—Luna wanted me to too.

Back to the trailer, I loved the themed area they gave me. In ALG Royale, there’s a part of the map called ‘Abandoned Theme Park’, it’s a favorite spot to loot for both Luna and Rumi. So, when they asked me where I wanted my influence to be, I immediately asked if I could choose there.

And, well, I couldn’t be happier. I loved the mascot and the colorful playful atmosphere it had. Plus, from what they told me, the loot quality in the area is high, however, every looted item has a chance of suddenly exploding!

Hehe! I can’t wait! I want to watch Luna or Rumi looting a building and then suddenly exploding! Their reactions would be so funny.

But alas, that’ll have to wait until Christmas.

I sent chairman gramps my opinion of the trailer before turning off my phone.

With that done, all that was left was to wait a few days until it came out. Hehe, I can’t wait to see Luna’s reaction.
