Jealousy Squadron Shitman

Reading Maiton-san's article about the Jealousy Festival, I thought, 'Couldn't I express this from a different angle rather than just my own jealousy?' and so I wrote this.

◇

2029, Japan.

A desire for approval... jealousy... writhing on the internet. The number of people whose mental balance was being destroyed by being dominated by those emotions was increasing. And so, five young people stood up to protect the peace of people's hearts.

They were the Jealousy Squadron Shitman. When they raised both hands, they would absorb people's jealousy and use that power to defeat the evil organization 'Inshin Enbo-Encer'.

The members of Shitman spend their daily lives as high school students.

Kento Amamiya (16) transforms into the group's leader, 'Jealousy Red'. He cannot hide his irritation that Takuma Sasaki (who transforms into Jealousy Blue), who sits next to him, is more popular with women than he is.

'Leader! The power of jealousy is...'

It was Asami, the class favorite, who shouted next to Kento. She works as an influencer on social media, but when her friends get more 'likes' than she does, her heart explodes with jealousy power.

'Me too... me too!! I'm cuter than that girl! I'm more interesting! Why is it her instead of me!'

Asami is in danger. Alright, activate jealousy sensor! Kento gently hugs Asami and whispers in her ear,

'You're the cutest!'

Asami's cheeks flush, and the jealousy power weakens.

'Guhhh...! My, my Asami-oooooh!!'

Watching the two of them with his finger in his mouth is Takuma Sasaki, in charge of Jealousy Blue. Takuma was secretly pining for Asami.

'That guy, he always uses his leader privilege to get close to Asami... it's so unfair...'

'Well, Takuma. Calm down.'

It was Taiga Kimura, in charge of Jealousy Green, who placed a hand on Takuma's shoulder. The object of his jealousy isn't a person. It's his yesterday's self. If he performs worse than his yesterday's self, he goes crazy with frustration, but he usually masks that element well and plays the role of a healing character.

'Asami's wallet is a Dior... I wonder who gave it to her.'

Glaring at Asami is Sakura Nanase, in charge of Jealousy Pink. Sakura is a reader model who loves high-end brands and has an eye for the logos on items people wear.

'I would definitely look better with Dior, and next to Kento too! Grrr! It's so frustrating!'

Saying that, Sakura spread her arms and

'Jealousy Hurricane!!'

she shouted loudly.

A small vortex formed above Sakura's head, and in an instant, it swallowed Kento and Asami.

'Asami! Hold on tight to me!'

'Kento...'

Inside the vortex, the two hugged each other tightly. In the hearts of Sakura and Takuma, the flames of jealousy continued to smolder.

[Ending Theme: Jealousy Burning Bright]

The evil vortex
dwelling in my heart

Why is it only them who get all the luck?
Why am I no good?

Such things!
Ask your own heart!

The enemy is not on the outside,
it is lurking within your own heart.

Realize it,
that is your own arrogance.

Oh, flames of jealousy,
it is not just you.

That person, that amazing person, everyone has it.
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy.

Burn it bright, sometimes put it to use.
Turn that jealousy into power.

Go! Jealousy Hurricane!
Go! Jealousy Bomber!

Fight, fight,
Jealousy Sentai Shitman.

[End]

This is my second time participating for seconds.
