Thanks to gathering with Kuro and Alice using their Teleportation Magic, the ingredients for the sukiyaki were safely gathered and the nabe was also ready.
All that remained was to eat it, but it was still too early. Once the ingredients are gathered, it won’t take that long to cook it. No, if you were quite particular with the preparations, it would certainly take you some time, but with my cooking skills, I don’t need to be that particular about the finest details…… Well, that’s also what Alice had told me, so I will just enjoy my date with Kuro and Alice for the rest of the time before our meal.
And as for where we went on our date…… it was in a Subspace created by Kuro. As for why we’re having a date in a Subspace, it was because of Alice’s suggestion.
[Ooohhhh, this is amazing! So this is an amusement park huh. Speaking of amusement facilities, it certainly is rare to see them with a scale as big as this.]
[Well, it would cost too much to reproduce a place with this size and numbers with magic tools. In terms of profitability, there’s a high possibility of a deficit, so there aren’t many people who would try to make a place like this.][I see….. So, did you get this from Shiro?]
[Yes, well, after she gave me this place, I modified it in various ways and adjusted it to a level that even ordinary people can have no problem with this place. I was just thinking of giving this place a test run……]
Yes, in Kuro’s Subspace, Alice took out the amusement part that she had previously received from Shiro-san. The amusement at the time Shiro-san created it had a number of demonic attractions that were based on Lilia-san’s capabilities as their standard, but it seems that Alice had adjusted that aspect.
And as she said, the attractions had indeed been changed a lot.
[……By the way, Alice, what’s with those costumed people over there?]
[They are the staff and mascot. After all, a theme park should have a mascot, right?]
[Then couldn’t you have designed something a little cuter……][That’s strange? That kinda feels like I’m being told, in a roundabout way, that the mascots aren’t cute.]
That’s exactly what I’m saying. All of them are exquisitely eerie, or rather, why do I feel like they had uninspired designs? Some of them might be repulsively cute…… but I feel like there are more of those which are designed to piss me off.
[Heehhh…… There are so many different ones huh. Hmmm, which one should we go to? I can’t choose!]
[Kuro looks like she’s having fun.]
[This is her first time at an amusement park after all.]
[I guess you really had been to one before huh, Alice?]
[I used to go with my best friend, and I had also thrown her into all the thrill rides.]
[I feel sorry for Best Friend-san……]
When she says best friend, I guess she’s talking about her other best friend other than Iris-san, who she sometimes talked about. Somehow, just from the stories I heard about her, I feel like she’s being swung around by Alice, so I sympathize with her.
From the way it sounded like Best Friend-san had ridden the facilities in this amusement park too, I think she picked up Best Friend-san who clearly hated thrill rides.
[Well, I think we should go in the order in which Kuro-san wants to go around……]
[Yeah, I don’t have any objection either.]
[Well then, Kuro-san, where would you like to go first?]
[I’m not sure…… But well, I guess it has to be the biggest roller coaster.]
[Hohh, that’s quite the discerning eye you have. That was the ride Alice-chan has remodeled the most, expanded so that it was the largest scale among the rides in the amusement park, so that is the ride Alice-chan is most proud of. Well, it might be a bit too slow for Kuro-san though.]
Rather, it would also probably be too slow for Alice, so I would probably be the only one who can enjoy the original speed of a roller coaster? From Kuro’s point of view, this might instead look like a ride that allows for elegant viewing of the park……
[Alright then, since we’ve decided on what we’ll do, let’s go! Kaito-kun, let’s hold hands!]
[Unnn? Yeah, well, it’s a date after all.]
[Oya oya, Kaito-san, going on a date with two beauties, you’ve really got two flowers on both hands this time, eh?]
[Well, you can say that again.]
[……………..]
[No, I’ve been telling you this before, but don’t go bringing things down on yourself, only to self-destruct and be embarrassed……]
When I held Kuro and Alice’s hands and started walking, Alice tried teasing me with a grin, but as usual, she got embarrassed when I turned the teasing back on her, and with her cheeks blushing a bit, she averted her eyes away from me.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Oiiiii, just go make sukiyaki…… Oiiiii…… Why the heck did it suddenly turn into a date…… Go make that sukiyakiiiii!]
