Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

"That's right, this kind of place is actually the most suitable for children like Eriri to come and play."

"So, which one should we go sit on first?"

As a result, the two of them used the morning to dominate two of the park's three major roller coasters, which are extremely popular attractions that usually require queues of more than four hours.

These are definitely not something you can explore in one morning.

But thanks to Kasumigaoka Utaha using a mobile app called "Quick Pass," they were able to play after only a short wait. It was great not to have to wait in long lines in the scorching heat. As expected of Kasumigaoka Utaha. As expected of an active high school girl.

The roller coaster was so much fun after not seeing it for a long time.

At noon, more and more people were walking around eating.

This place was also crowded. Even with a reservation in advance, it took almost 10 minutes to be seated.

While the two were eating, the park's mascots—characters in costumes—appeared and took photos with the guests, signing autographs.

Naturally, Kasumigaoka Utaha was also very excited and took out a notebook from her handbag and asked for an autograph.

"Does a writer who signs autographs for others every day also want to be signed?" Bai Quanyi was confused.

"That's not the same, okay?" Kasumigaoka Utaha disagreed.

They each ordered a pasta dish, and then ordered a pizza together.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu took a sip of the water in the cup and then let out a long sigh.

"You look like you've been sweating a lot. Did you enjoy it?"

"Yeah, I had a lot of fun."

"That's good"

"Where's Quan Yi?"

"I am also very happy."

"Please, don't keep staring at my feet. You'll be considered a pervert."

"Your feet are so beautiful and attractive."

Black stockings and long legs paired with white high sandals are very seductive in summer.

"That's awful! I'm sweating a lot. You might get suffocated."

"Can beautiful girls have smelly feet?"

Bai Quanyi said that the beautiful girls in the second dimension don't have smelly feet, but the ones in the third dimension can really make people suffocate.

Disneyland Double Date

If there weren't so many people in Disneyland, Shiraizumi Masa would have taken out his anger on Kasumigaoka Utaha right now.

Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't imagine such a despicable idea of ​​Shiraizumi Masu, and was still thinking about where to go for fun in the afternoon.

"What about this afternoon?"

Originally, they wanted to conquer the last of the three roller coasters, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't seem to like screaming facilities very much, and she looked a little tired, so Shiraizumi Mashi suggested going somewhere else.

"Let's go to some leisurely facilities this afternoon. Afterwards, we can go see a parade, do some shopping, etc."

"Ah, shopping! Okay. I want to go look at the dolls. I think they sell dolls this big."

Kasumigaoka Shigure spread out her hands and drew a big circle.

"Do we really need to buy such a big one?" Shiraizumi Yi felt that it would be inconvenient to place such a big doll in Kasumigaoka Utaha's rental house.

"No, thanks. I just want to take a look. Ah, but if it's a small doll, it would be nice to buy one as a souvenir of today." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her finger and thought, "Hmm. Does seeing it remind me of today's events?"

"Of course, and I will never forget what happened today."

The two of them ate pasta while chatting about meaningless topics.

“Ah, it’s really delicious.”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu covered her mouth with her hands and muttered softly.

“This pasta is really delicious.”

Bai Quanyi agreed.

After lunch, they walked out of the restaurant and slowed down their pace to stroll leisurely in the amusement park.

Instead of waiting in line for hours at popular attractions, the two took a retro double-decker bus to travel between areas. They also tried out retro pinball and baseball arcades, and finally took a boat trip to the jungle.

Before I knew it, the western sky was dyed red.

The eastern sky brings in the night, and the indigo sky's power grows stronger and stronger.

Finally, the bright stars illuminated the winter night. Sirius, Procyon, Betelgeuse...

"It's about time we go check out some souvenirs. We still have some time before we leave, and I want to see the parade again. Um, what's wrong?"

I inadvertently shifted my gaze from the night sky to the girl walking beside me. She paused. One, two, three. I, walking ahead, stopped too.

"Did something happen to that child?"

"Hey?"

In the direction that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was looking, there was a girl about three years old.

She looked around, biting her lip as if on the verge of tears. Unbearable emotion continued to accumulate in her eyes, which were trying to open wide, and finally drops of water streaked across her cheeks like shooting stars.

"Are you crying?"

"I'm crying."

"Are you lost?"

"I don't know, but..."

"Hmm. A crying girl is enough of an excuse to strike up a conversation, right?"

Hearing what Shiraizumi Mashi said, Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded happily and said "Yeah", then ran towards the girl.

"Hello?" The girl smiled a momentary relief upon hearing Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice, but it quickly vanished. Perhaps it was because the person before her wasn't the one she'd expected.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not discouraged, she smiled gently.

"Hello, what's wrong? Did you get separated from your parents?"

"Eh? Um. No, I don't know~"

"It's okay, don't cry. Come, take a deep breath with me. Come on, breathe in deeply. Come on, good. Then let it out. Mm, that's great. Mm, have the tears stopped? What's your name?"

As she asked, Kasumigaoka Shiyu took out a handkerchief and wiped away the girl's tears.

"...Asami"

"Yes, it's Asami-chan, my name is Kasumigaoka Shiyu."

"Kasumigaoka Shiyu,-chan?"

"Yeah. Let's be friendly. Asami-chan, do you know mom and dad's names?"

Then, Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked the girl a variety of questions in a gentle voice. It was a great job, I have to say. She seemed accustomed to this kind of thing.

Although the girl couldn't answer most of the questions, every time she answered, Kasumigaoka Shiyu would praise her "Great" and gently pat her head. In this way, the girl's tightly clenched hands slowly loosened.

If the purpose is simply to obtain intelligence, there might be a more efficient way.

In fact, Kasumigaoka Shiyu noticed that Mami-chan was holding a child identification card during the conversation. Despite this, she still talked to her patiently, I think she was trying to calm the anxious girl down.

What a gentle and considerate child.

"Quan Yi?"

"Huh? What?"

"Excuse me, here's Asami's mother's phone number. Could you help me contact her? I think her parents would feel more at ease knowing their child is with an adult, compared to a student like me."

"Okay. But you don't have to say sorry, after all, I'm also involved."

"Okay, okay. Thank you very much!"

"By the way, there's no need to thank you."

I smiled wryly and dialed the mobile number on the child’s ID card.

30 minutes later, Mami-chan's parents arrived.

It seems that Mami-chan took advantage of her parents' inattention and went to another area by herself. From what I heard from Kasumigaoka Shiyu, it seems that Mami-chan came here on the double-decker bus we took.

My parents, terrified by Mami-chan, kept thanking me and Kasumigaoka Shiyu. During this brief time together, Mami-chan, completely obsessed with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, kept clutching Kasumigaoka Shiyu's skirt and refused to let go until her mother took her home.

"Bye-Bye"

Kasumigaoka Utaha kept waving her hands until her petite figure blended into the darkness of the night.

"What a pity."

"what?"

"Asami-chan, it's a rare opportunity to come to the amusement park, but I'm left with memories of getting lost. I always feel a little lonely."

"What a little fool you are!"

Bai Quanyi couldn't help but mutter softly.

Her gentleness and broad-mindedness are always so dazzling.

"Hey?"

"A child that young will probably forget what happened today very soon."

"It's lonely, but it's true."

"And even if she remembers what happened today, Mami will probably only remember that she became friends with a gentle sister rather than that she got lost."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Shiraizumi Masaru with surprise written all over her face.

Soon, Bai Quanyi heard whispers of laughter.

"I see. How should I put it? This explanation is very Izumi's style. I will include it in the scope of the material. I also like the ending with such a gentle feeling, so I will adopt Izumi's proposal."

"As expected, the ending of the story should be a happy ending."

"Yes."

At this time, the world was already shrouded in darkness.

The starlight of Orion streaked across the night sky.

It's not easy to open a harem

Ah, but here, even at night, it's so bright that the stars are barely visible. It's like magic, really. Even though it's night, no, precisely because it's night, it's like the stars have descended upon the earth, the orange lights connecting and swaying in the wind.

Shiraizumi Masaru extended his hand to Kasumigaoka Shigure.

"It's parade time, let's go watch it."

"Ah."

Just like that, Kasumigaoka Shizue held Shiraizumi Masu's hand, and then she leaned her body against his arm~.

"Stay with me until the end."

"Well, it's a date after all."

"Yeah, yeah, this is a date."

It was a date after all. Perhaps the distance felt good right now.

The two people who arrived completely late watched the parade from a distance, and then left the amusement park before the peak of the departure.

Before that, let's go to the bathroom.

Bai Quanyi completed the task early, but the girls had to queue up, so it seemed that it would take some time.

Standing here was not a solution, Bai Quanyi couldn't help but look towards the place with bright lights.

Five minutes later, Kasumigaoka Shiyu came back

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

“Here, for you…”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu took the bag from Shiraizumi Masaru, looking bewildered. She looked at the bag, then at him. Then she looked at the bag, then at him, then back at the bag.
