全国の自称アドルさん、こんばんは。
まいど。八刻堂のハチでございます。
#ハチもアドルの一人です。
さて、今日の記事ではアドル恐怖体験記「其の弐」についてご紹介してみましょ。
廃坑恐ぇ~~~
初代イースで誰もが体験した「最初の恐怖体験」。それはやはり、廃坑ではなかろうか？
まず、最初のフィールドの雑魚キャラ3体が、難なく倒せるようになった頃に思うのが、
「よ~し、いっちょ探索の幅、広げてみっか！？」
と思って真っ先に突撃する場所。それがたぶん「廃坑」（近いから）。
その廃坑における恐怖体験をハチなりに言語化してみた。
真っ暗やないかい！
まず、あれだ。廃坑に入った瞬間、アドルの半径3cm以外は真っ暗なんだわさ。それまでの草原や木々や泉はどこいった。いくらなんでもイキナリ真っ暗すぎだろうと。ドラク◯に例えるならレミーラじゃなく「たいまつ」ってヤツだ。とにかく真っ暗で怖い。道が見えん。
ズンズンズンズン…BGM
次に、これだ。イースの中ではわりと人気上位のBGM「BEAT OF THE TERROR（廃坑）」。このイントロがスゲーんだわ。
それまでのフィールド草原曲「FIRST STEP TOWARDS WARS」でノリノリでアドルを操作していた矢先、いきなり真っ暗になったと思ったら、ズンズンズンズン…のギャップはもはや罪。
何の罪かって？それは
「冒険心」「ワクワク感」「ドキドキ感」MAXの状態にプレイヤーを陥れた罪だわさ。全国の学生アドルくんたちは、この巧妙な罠に、例外なく陥れらたに違いない。
キンッ…効果音
そして、トドメはこれだ。「キンッ」という効果音。「ん？今、何かにぶつかった！？」と思った瞬間、ENEMY（敵）HPのゲージの長いこと長いこと…
「何だコイツ！形もキモいし、やべートコ来たな！はよ逃げよ」
と、スタコラサッサとその場を逃げ去り、夜になっても記憶から消したくなるくらい、当時の小学生だった自称アドルくんはビビったわけである。
そんな懐かしい思い出をアクスタで簡易ジオラマ化したのが、今回のSNSで投稿した写真なわけだ。
さあ、もうあと5日だ。8/22（金）にいよいよ発売なので、アドルが到着したら、皆の恐怖体験や面白体験をぜひSNSでアップしてみてほしい✨️（発送は9月上~中旬予定です）
じゃ、本日のブログ記事はここまで。

Hello, all you self-proclaimed Adols out there.
Hi, everyone. This is Hachi from Hakkokudo.
#Hachi is also an Adol.
Now, in today's article, I'd like to introduce you to “Adol Horror Stories: Part II.”
Abandoned mines are scary~~~
The first horror experience everyone had in the original Ys. It was probably the abandoned mine, right?
First, once you've gotten to the point where you can easily defeat the three minor characters in the first field, you think,
“Alright, let's expand our exploration a bit!”
and the first place you rush to is probably the abandoned mine (because it's close).
Hachi tried to put into words the horror experience in that abandoned mine.
It's pitch black!
First off, when you enter the abandoned mine, everything outside of Adol's 3cm radius is pitch black. Where did the grasslands, trees, and lakes go? It's way too dark all of a sudden. If I were to compare it to Dragon Quest, it's not Remira but “Torch.” It's just pitch black and scary. You can't see the path.
Thud thud thud thud... BGM
Next, this. In Ys, the BGM “BEAT OF THE TERROR (Abandoned Mine)” is pretty popular. The intro is amazing.
Just as I was enjoying controlling Adol to the rhythm of the field grassland song “FIRST STEP TOWARDS WARS,” it suddenly went pitch black, and then the gap between that and the thudding sound is almost sinful.
What sin? It's the sin of
plunging the player into a state of maximum “adventure,” “excitement,” and “thrill.” All the student Adols across the country must have fallen into this clever trap without exception.
Clang... sound effect
And the final blow was this: the “clang” sound effect. “Huh? Did I just hit something!?” I thought, and then the enemy's HP gauge stretched on and on...
“What the heck is this thing? It's ugly and creepy. This is bad. Let's get out of here!”
And so, the self-proclaimed Adol-kun, who was an elementary school student at the time, fled the scene in a hurry, so scared that he wanted to erase the memory from his mind even after nightfall.
The photo I posted on social media this time is a simple diorama of that nostalgic memory made with an action figure.
Only five days left! The release is finally on August 22 (Fri), so once Adol arrives, please share your scary or fun experiences on social media! ✨️ (Shipping is scheduled for early to mid-September.)
That's all for today's blog post.

See you next time! ✨️
