I Died and Became a Hollow, But I Get Stronger by Being an Idiot Chapter 53 - 51: “The Great Cactus Festival”

Today I woke up, looked at my cactus guard — Spike-o-sensei — and felt proud.

He was still standing. Not moving. Not dying.

Best employee.

"GUOOH!!"

(Translation: Morning, Spike-o-sensei!)

Aizen wagged his tail and bit a rock. I think he thought it was food.

Then… an idea struck .

A genius, glorious, idiot idea.

What if… I hold a festival for Spike-o-sensei?

I ran around my ugly, sand-leaking house, gathered bones, broken hollow teeth, mask shards, one old fishbone I don't rember owning, and stacked them in a crooked circle around Spike-o-sensei.

"GUOOOHH!!"

(Translation: Decoration!!)

[EP Gained: 11,000]

[Reason: Decorated a cactus for no reason]

Next, I drew a giant wobbly circle line in the sand with my finger around the house.

Aizen ran straight over it and ruined it.

I roared at him.

"GUOOOOOOOOOOH!!!"

(Translation: BAD!! I JUST MADE THAT!!)

[EP Gained: 10,000]

[Reason: Yelled at dog over a sand line]

Aizen, being a professional idiot like , rolled over and chewed a bone.

I wasn't done.

I needed an audience.

I grabbed three poor tiny hollows passing by, told them to sit near Spike-o-sensei, pointed aggressively.

One tried to run.

I chased it, but tripped on a bone, face-planted in the sand.

[EP Gained: 12,000]

[Reason: Face-planted while chasing a random hollow]

By the ti I lifted my sandy face, the small hollows were gone.

Only Aizen remained, tail wagging proudly.

I declared the festival a success anyway.

"GUOOOOH!!"

(Translation: Festival over!! You win, Spike-o-sensei!!)

I awarded the cactus with a dead beetle I found nearby.

Aizen barked happily.

To end the day, I stood on a big rock, raised both arms to Hueco Mundo's empty sky.

"GUOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!"

(Translation: BEST FESTIVAL EVER!!)

[EP Gained: 14,000]

[Reason: Held a festival alone with a cactus and a dog]

[Current EP: 2,100,500 / 100,000,000]

And that's how I held the greatest cactus festival in history.

I'm a genius.
