I was a little confused by the unexpected amusement park date, but
when I looked again at the amusement park created by Shiro-san's
power, I don't know if I should say that it's to be expected of her or not,
as it was quite amazing.
It's a large-scale theme park, with so many attractions that it's hard to
believe that one can visit all of them in one day.
The reason I know this is because I currently have a brochure for the
amusement park that Alice made.
The map of the park is very easy to understand, with numbers assigned
to each attraction and a brief explanation added in it… This woman
really is from Earth, right?
Well, anyway, at the entrance of the amusement park where Alice works
as an attendant… for some reason, I bought a paid admission ticket and
entered the park with Shiro-san.
We were somehow greeted by a really familiar… and creepy stuffed cat
costume with balloons in her hands, which looked really inappropriate
for an amusement park, but I just brushed it off and started talking to
Shiro-san.
[Errr, Shiro-san. Where do you want to go first?]
[Let's see. Well then, let's go on the roller coaster. That's something I'm
quite confident about.]
[…Alright.]
Arehh? What is this? I strangely have a bad feeling about this… Was it
just my imagination? It would be great if it was.
Also, you costumed idiots over there, stop with that ruckus… Ahh, her
costume types increased. No, wait! Put that rat one away! That one is
dangerous, in a different meaning…
Well, that aside, let's go to the roller coaster. We're going that way then.]
[Please wait, Kaito-san.]
[Yes?]
[We have a very serious situation here.]
[…A serious situation? What in the world…]
Just as I was about to start walking, Shiro-san said that there was
something serious… Well, there was no change in her expression or
tone, but she seemed somewhat serious.
[…"My hands are available".]
[…Unnn?]
[Kaito-san and I have already become lovers. In other words, we should
be lovey-dovey.]
[H- Haahhh… So, what is it that Shiro-san wants?]
[My hands are available.]
[...…]
[My hands are available.]
As expected, even I could understand what Shiro-san was trying to say…
and what it is that she wants. I also know that she wants me to be the
one asking her that…
To be honest, I'm quite embarrassed to say it to her, but if I don't, I think
I'll be stuck in the usual endless loop.
[E- Errr, Shiro-san… Would you like to hold hands?]
[Fumu, if Kaito-san insists, I guess I might reluctantly accept.]
[I really want to hold hands with you, Shiro-san.]
[I see, if Kaito-san really wants to hold hands with me that bad, as your
lover, I guess I don't have any choice but to agree. Now then, please hold
onto whichever hand you want.]
What the heck is this feeling of defeat? Just letting out a sigh, I grabbed
Shiro-san's beautiful right hand.
Rather, seeing Shiro-san like this, even though there wasn't any change
in her expression or tone… I think I remember her being like this
before.
[…Shiro-san, could it be that you're excited?]
[Yes. I'm very excited.]
Although I had already experienced being with such a Shiro-san during
the Six Kings Festival, Shiro-san being excited is really troublesome in
many ways.
[I can't not be excited at such a moment. I'm on a date with my beloved
you after all.]
[Ughhh…]
When she says it like that, there's no way I could say anything. It might
be quite simple-minded of me, but if Shiro-san is that happy… the
troubles and bothersome things don't seem that much of a big deal.
Well, it can't be helped. I'll just have to firmly prepare myself for what's
to come. I'm already Shiro-san's lover, so I have to do my best to meet
my cute girlfriend's whims.
With Shiro-san by my side, I rode on a roller coaster that was a perfect
replica of the one I had been on before, which was no surprise
considering she could read my memories.
The roller coaster seemed to be quite huge, and with the Sanctuary
being an island floating in the sky, this was much higher than I had
imagined.
[…I'm getting a little nervous. If it's this high, that would mean that this
would be pretty fast…]
[What does height have to do with speed? I made it so that this roller
coaster accelerates with magic power, so I don't think the height would
matter…]
[…Eh?]
When I saw Shiro-san tilting her head, a frightening thought crossed my
mind. I don't think this was the case, but could it be that Shiro-san just
recreated the shape from my memory, making up its components along
the way…
[That's right.]
[Wait a moment, Shiro-san. If I'm not mistaken, just now… you said that
"this accelerates with magic power", didn't you?]
[I did say that.]
[…Please be honest. Wouldn't this be absurdly fast…]
I can feel cold sweat run down my back. A roller coaster accelerated
with Shiro-san's magic power, it would have a speed befitting it. And
today, Shiro-san is very excited… I don't think this would run at a
decent speed.
[Please don't worry. I have adjusted the speed to a level which the
Humans can withstand.]
[Ahh, is that so? That's great.]
[Yes. I've properly adjusted it to have a speed that "the Human named
Lilia Albert" would be able to withstand.]
[She isn't someone you should be using as a refereeeeence!]
Why, of all people, is she basing it on Lilia-san!? With Lilia-san as a
basis, I could only see a future where average people riding this would
turn into minced meat!
[Is that how it is? Very well, I'll make some adjustments.]
[Please! We're almost at the peak, so please hurry up!]
[It's done.]
[As expected of Shiro-san! You work fast! Thank you very much!]
[I've considerably slowed the roller coaster down. It should only be
running at a speed "about ten times the speed of sound".]
[Let me out! Let me out! Let me ouuuuuuuuut!]
My screams were futile… As the roller coaster that Shiro-san and I were
on reached the peak—— I felt like my voice was left far behind me.
