It was an early mooring, the sky was blue and a beams from sun were already climbing down the buildings walls, pushing the shadows from the streets covered whit a fine layer of fresh night snow. There was enough of this white blanket that one will almost need a winter boots, to not get a cold feet.
...Wait! What?!…
When the warm beams from that sun managed to passes thorough the gap between the buildings and tickle the Protagonist face to urge him to awake from his sleepiness, he suddenly realize that he is not in safe-house of the secret cafe, but actually outside. Confused, he look up on (moving sky?) and some distant straps of clouds or stringy clouds, to far up to reach after them. Oh wait, some of them are contrails behind fast moving airplanes.
His awaken has been noticed when a certain scientist amused voice reached him from his behind. "Wow! Our princess, the (Sleeping Beauty) has finally woken up. Or I shall say, that our sleeping prince has awoken when he realized, that the (rose thorns curse) no longer binding his kingdom, which slowly awaking to the new era? The same can be said about a shut-in person whit wooden-log level of heavy sleeping, who has been drag out into a fresh air, se~enpai." Even if she make a giggle she quickly added some (useful?) or heavy information's. "Don't freak out and certainly don't drop the bag. Its contains some of my stuff that shall stay contained. Kay? [Okay?]"
.
The main guy instantly freak out, when he noticed that as he sitting, there is a sport bag in his lap. Even if the bag looks at first glance innocent as if it containing a set of spare clothing and not something dangerous like an unstable chemicals or worse. But one can never be sure about it when the bag belong to a this woman. Only now he realize that he was sitting on something like a wheelchair upgraded into a snow sled. And as he look around he finally understand that they arrived onto (vacant?) theme park.
While observing him, she make an another giggle. "Fu, fu, fu. Its quite interesting, senpai: You sleep like a log that refused to cooperate on my trying to wake you up, even if I use some nasty stuff. But soon as we passed the park gate, you miraculously begins grain a consciousness. What a convenient development. Had someone looking for a date so serious, that he return from the underworld just for a certain girl? Hmm… or it is because this episode official started by us staining the pure snow? But if you planning to include a showman making to you date plan, you shall do it before the sun starts melting the white scenery. The weather forecast seems for today to be a quite nice, so I give the snow an hour or two, until it start to be too watery to have any usage. Then you cant do anything whit it."
.
As soon as they arrived next to some kiosk administrative building to its side staff only entrance, they meet whit the mercenary who had (guarding?) a vampire stile coffin. Soon as he saw the two he nodded and pushed that coffin into building, as if he was putting that thing away when it has seems that they will not need it.
Of course the protagonist got nervous. But when the scientist stop the wheelchair, and walk around that sled to face him; she grab his face whit her palms to capture his attention. "Lets not bother about that coffin, kay? It was hardly for an opportunity of you to not waking up again. Then we will use you as a pseudo casualty on our side, to sneaking you out under the watchers noses who are starving for a sensation. But if you are that interested, we can always use the: (Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?) gag to make someone unconscious."
.
Ignoring they flirty discussion, the big guy take the bag and place it inside, nearly on top of that coffin. It was clear that certain someone get tricked once more by exaggeration from certain UwU mount.
The lilliputian woman acts as pro nurse, taking the MC by his hands and gestured him to try stand up. She actually got a (Wow!) expression when he actually stand up. "Like a first steps of baby." Even if he had for a second or two weak standing, that maybe (or maybe not) have a background in awaking into morning cold temperature. But this stand up procedure was more for a purpose, that the mercenary can take away the wheelchair and storage it into the building. Protagonist tried to make a judgmental expression, but the scientist notice someone in distant and get conspiratorially flirtatious, as if she hit a hot topic gossip. "Oh my... Speaking of witch, somebody taking this date seriously. Look!" She forcefully turn him around to look at some (rich lady?) who was in hurry. "I was wondering where our Kitty run away, and she take a quick raid on an undefended fashion shop. Maybe we can actually face some real (romance route). How lucky you!" [visual novels (dating) games]
The cat-girl was wearing; from costly high boots on feet, to overpriced fluffy cylindrical hat on top of her head... a full fancy wintry coat robe set from fine tailored fur or something similar expensive. Whit that strong (Notice me!) color mostly reserved for upper classes, this setting was just screaming: (Hey I am noble!) Except of obvious high price tag, this dress had a lot of cat motives all around, like the cat head purse and some others accessories. Seriously; was the fluffy extra large cat paws gloves necessary? Someone will start to think that she was hiding under that coat even a wintry fluffy cat tail. It was clear that she was (Oh no! I am late!) hurry, but she make an effort to look a lady like. As she arrived to them, she struggle to catch a breath. But when she noticed them, him to staring at her; she suddenly blushed and averted her look, like a maiden in love.
.
Once again the mercenary, after closing the staff only door to the park office building, give one heck of critical suggestion to the duo. "Okay. This will do. If I don't know my own share of fact about these two, (and especially on her); I will be tempted to kidnap her from his hands for my own needs and demands."
This make the lilliputian woman clap her palm to get theirs attention. "Oh I see, We shall do an amusement park episode. Oh wait, I spoke this line in the last episode. Never mind! As there was no one to run the maintenance on those rides, ridding those attractions will be quite risky. Not to mention that it will be quite a welcomed life hazard entertainment." And she made a (OK) thumb up gesture. "But, back to the topic! What we will do there is once again a gathering the attention. There is no guaranteed chance that we will manage to lure the main boss out. But there is quite a chance that a sunny sky and activity in park, will lure out a lot of strays and those who was left behind."
She put one of her hand on her hips and raise the other in (Pay attention to me!) gesture. "In order for the two of you our lover birds, to not freak out on any small thing that will eventually happen: I shall mentioned that we don't know if the one who will get lured out; will be baddies, civilians or buggies. So don't go on rampage beating bystanders! You can mostly tell the difference by them seems to be lost when they are aimlessly wandering around on easily predictable patterns. And I shall said that as the time will progress, the number of NPCs [Non Playable Character(s)] on park will increase. Additionally I shall mentioned that because someone got this great idea to build this themed park partially around and up on forested hill, in order to bring people closer to the wilds, nature and toward green ways of thinking; there shall be lots of camp sites like cabins, caves and dungeons; confused wild animals and local monsters of various power levels. And it will create a bad name for our gild if we managed to burn the forest down. So our kitty shall keep her gloves on her lovely hands all time during this part of this story arc. And about the grand master…" She and the mercenary look at that staff only door to the office in silent stare… and the other two followed they example.
The protagonist suddenly had a feeling that the four-eye had a too heavy thoughts last night and already put himself into a coffin in case there will be no hope left for his financial situation. Or in other case for him to have a re-spawn point. And there is no way he will be an actual vampire. (Right? Ri~ight??)
.
Suddenly the scientist interrupted main character thoughts when she snap her fingers in front of his face. "Hey, senpai! For now, don't bother to think about heavy stuff. As an eye candy, yours pair job is to be in the spotlight eye of objective, when the news helicopter will arrive looking for a sensation in the (ground zero) of disaster side. In another words: This is a theme park for entertainment, so... have a fun!" As they were ready to start the journey through the park, the lilliputian pushed herself on the MC in order to say something quietly in conspiracy tone. "Hey boy, every one here are stressed out, so don't think you are the only one who struggling. But even if she doesn't want to let it seems, our Kitty here is indeed a girl. Even you must notice how much she was looking for this date. So don't forget to praise her outfit." Then she pull herself of, backing a two steps to make a power stance. "So what will we do?- Se~enpai?"
But as the party look at this man whit a question (What to do now?), the main guy ask a very tricky question: "Okay I can understand this logic. But tell me: What is a snow man?" The scientist instantly make this regret facial expression: (Oh dear...)
.
.
And so…
After one attempt at building a snowman, later…
.
.
...the group of four snowman builders, are standing in line whit a blank expression on theirs faces. They are looking at they sad result of snowman they manage to build. Just how can someone mess making a snow ball?- when the only thing they shall do is rolling it? Not to mentioning that some stones that shall represent a smile on its face; went down and now the snow man had a depression from its current state.
The scientist was the first one to sight. "Okay lets move elsewhere, before the rising sun will make our snow-making example even sadder. Speaking of witch, I noticed that the NPCs start to moving in. They probably already reopen some stands to make this park running. Lets go find out, if we can get a food poisoning from a cup of hot chocolate."
.
As they start to walk, the protagonist look at his hands, having a feelings that something is not right and state a question. "Speaking about questions dancing about danger: Is it okay?- for us to even touch the snow? I mean; wasn't had it something dangerous like irradiated or something? Clearly it dint act like a normal one. Or I missing something?"
When the lilliputian make an (Oh…) sound of realization, both mercenary and cat-girl flinched in (Oh shit!) expression. But the scientist thought of her voice. "When you mentioned it... the clouds that covered this city, were actually hold together by bounded static electricity. The permanent illumination effect practically throw the sense of day time out of window, when no one can say if its a day or night. Regardless of the composition, I only do the chemical and bacterial test on it. But if the snowflakes actually worked like an overcharged micro jammers of electrical impulses that can even reach the brain and neuron synapses in body, then it can explain why senpai got a brain freeze. Then its highly probable that our NPCs will overlook things while making repairs and they will activate some attractions whit obvious defects. But I don't think the zombies will mind this increased level of general stupidity. And that explain the actual nonsense of this incident. Maybe we are lucky that you actually adapting to your brain freeze cause to provide us a different point of view. Otherwise we will not realize it so soon."
When the mercenary asked if they shall tell (them) this critical information, the scientist throws her hand to side in (Don't bother) matter whit a line (they will be fine). But then he start running in urge to spread this knowledge. Few seconds after that, the girl starts running after the big boy, yelling at him to wait for her. This left the duo on date alone who dint speed up to catch them.
The cat-girl while walking next to the man and starring at him from side, looks nervously as if something bothering her. She eventually pull out a handkerchief and clear his hands, making sure to remove any trace or scent from that snow. Then she once again take his hand and starts to drag him behind her in direction where the other two ran.
