"Can't wait! Can't wait! Oh hurry up already!"
Yushiro was jogging in his spot impatiently. Douma and the other two didn't want to interfere with his behavior they were worried he might lash out at them for doing so. Luckily nobody batted an eye at them.
With the four brochures now in his hand, Yushiro cheered and ran towards his friends. The lady at the ticketing counter smiled. "Enjoy your time here, Chess Champion." She exclaimed.
"Of course what's there to not enjoy? This is Dice and Roll Valley we're talking about." Yushiro responded so proudly.
"He's so full of himself... keep up with the enthusiasm Yushiro!" Douma yelled as Yushiro had already strayed from the group admiring the place.
Shinobu and Chachamaru glanced at Douma in shock. "Oh no not you too." The violette said to him.
Crossing his arms, Douma looked away from Shinobu, this was going to be the best time of their lives. As a matter of fact, he got to hang out with Shinobu which made things even better. Besides, Dice and Roll Valley was a whole other adventure on its own.
"Hahahahaha, I hope these two don't end up getting lost somewhere. This place is huge." The giant feline watched both Douma and Yushiro standing around near the gate.
"Will you two hurry up? Come on we don't have all day!"
Douma pouted. "Someone's losing their patience." He said quietly.
"Regardless of Yushiro's whining, I'm actually excited. Let's go!" Shinobu caught up with them along with Chachamaru.
"Yeah me too." The feline replied with a smirk.
~~~
The first thing they came across were deer and a few other animals being fed by visitors. Yushiro looked at the map and nodded. "Seems like I'm gonna be doing the same exact things again. It's not my first time here anyway but I wish they added more new stuff besides the bird migration session at the other island."
"So what's the plan?" Douma asked turning around to see a variety of booths and rides. This was only the beginning there was still a lot to do.
"We'll start with the animal feeding spot over here and then we'll head over to the rollercoaster ride beside the luminous waterfall." Yushiro said waiting for suggestions from his friends if they had any. He was open to ideas since he has been here before and the activities were more or less the same.
Putting up a thumbs up, all of them walked towards the huts and fents where people were feeding the animals with carrots, lettuce, and berries.
One of the deer noticed the four friends and approached them. The guide standing beside the fence handed a cup of food to Yushiro after he and the others made payment and told him the precautions he should take while feeding the animals.
The other three were given a cup too with different contents so they shared a few with each other and Yushiro to balance it out.
More deer began walking towards them the minute they saw them holding the cups. A herd of them coming their way.
Douma and Shinobu patted the deer while feeding them, it seems the deer were very fond of them. On the other hand, Yushiro and Chachamaru were chasing after them and the ducks because they avoided them for some obvious reason; the constant yelling and recklessness was probably why.
"Don't let them get away!"
"You got it!" Chachamaru was now chasing after one of the deer that hid behind a larger one with sharp antlers, he assumed it was its mate and this deer wasn't happy with what was going on around here.
"I didn't mean to!" The feline pleaded, the deer glaring him.
"You guys are so adorable!" Shinobu was still feeding the deer with carrots. Both she and Douma's time with the animals was the complete opposite of Yushiro and Chachamaru's.
Patting the deer and ducks with a few gentle scratches on their chin and necks, Douma waited until the animals were gathered in front of him and began feeding them again. He watched them take a bite out of the food he gave them.
Douma was very much aware of the ruckus Yushiro and Chachamaru were making but he didn't bother.
The people in the area started looking at them, a few gaping when they noticed the giant talking feline and his human friend.
"That's one big cat."
"Is it talking?"
"Maybe it's just someone in a costume."
Now this was getting interesting. Douma wondered how Yushiro and Chachamaru were going to handle all the attention. Everybody was staring at the both of them.
Those feeding the animals continued to, however they avoided Yushiro and Chachamaru at all costs, especially the children who were terrified and startled by the yelling.
Shinobu seemed to be having a great time feeding the animals. After a while both she and Douma approached the fence behind the feeding spot to watch the horses and ponies munching and flicking their tails around in relaxation.
The other two rushed towards the fence, Yushiro winced at the pony slowly walking towards them. Chachamaru leaned against the fence, both he and the pony were glaring at each other.
This cat was large, it was no ordinary cat, the pony narrowed its eyes at Chachamaru when he gritted his teeth at the thought of a potential showdown. Yushiro jumped beside him and glared at the pony too, it wasn't afraid, standing there intimidatingly.
"Grrrrr think you're so tough huh?" Chachamaru remarked.
"Yeah who does this pony think he is?" Yushiro added.
After spending some time interacting with the horses and ponies, the team headed to the rollercoaster ride near the luminous waterfall.
The luminous waterfall was crystal blue with noticeable streaks of the sun's ray from a distance. A few lights were aligned beside the steep rocks to give it vibrant shade of colors such as blue, green, and red.
Yushiro and Chachamaru dashed to the rollercoaster ride leaving both Douma and Shinobu stunned by their sudden action.
"Hey wait for us!" Shinobu called out as she and Douma caught up with them.
"Those two are energetic as ever." Douma said running after Yushiro and Chachamaru who came to a stop in front of the rollercoaster.
At least the line wasn't long which was a good thing, otherwise they'd have to wait a while, according to Yushiro who was familiar with most of the activities at Dice and Roll Valley.
"Let's stop running Shinobu, the rollercoaster isn't going to give us any break time during the ride." Douma stopped beside the other two as they got ready to hop on the rollercoaster with a few people waiting in line behind them.
Shinobu nodded. "This ride reminds me of an expedition into the wilderness. There's a mountain and a savannah with animatronics lurking around."
"You guys are gonna love it!" Yushiro and Chachamaru got on the rollercoaster, sitting in the first row of seats, Douma and Shinobu behind them with other people filling in the remaining ones.
Seconds later the rollercoaster started moving with safety precautions being elaborated on as they slowly left the cave they were lining up in.
"This is awesome! We can see the whole view on this cliff!" Chachamaru and Yushiro stared wide eyed at the scenery below.
Douma rested on the back of his seat. "Hey don't do that it's dangerous." Shinobu warned him she was concern about how relaxed he was on this rollercoaster.
"Everything's under control."
The rollercoaster started picking up speed before coming to a stop behind the division towards the spiral and curled tracks.
Everyone on the rollercoaster knew what this meant, and Yushiro and Chachamaru were excited for this part.
At that instant, the rollercoaster dove down which felt like a huge drop midair with some people screaming. Yushiro and Chachamaru were cheering on while Shinobu was keeping an eye on the transitioning of the tracks, from subtle to a total havoc every once in a while.
"Woohoo! This is awesome!"
"Yeah you said it Yushiro!"
Douma was just sitting there comfortably, joining in with Yushiro and Chachamaru's enthusiasm. "This is one crazy ride!"
Meanwhile, Shinobu held on tightly to the handle of the rollercoaster, she kept a relaxed composure however after seeing the incoming spiral, she braced herself and so did a few of the people sitting behind them.
"Get ready guys we're gonna spend another second upside down!" Right after Shinobu said that the rollercoaster sped up the spiral and stayed upside down for a few seconds, evoking a sense of fear and anticipation among everyone before moving off at the same speed.
Ahead of them was the familiar cave a few blocks away. Yushiro and Chachamaru burst into laughter, despite the frequent toss and turns they still had a lot of energy left for the next part of their adventure.
