Chapter 2631: Re: Demon Realm Amusement Park

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Having reached the exit of the labyrinth, Hina-chan pulled away in embarrassment, and while I felt an oddly ticklish sort of atmosphere, we continued toward the exit.

Several groups had already arrived, and once we joined up, the remaining people soon came as well.

After hearing what had happened, it seemed that their experiences had been pretty much the same. Apparently, there were a few people who had been hit once or twice, but it seemed everyone had managed to clear it safely.

As expected, or rather, just as I had predicted, when the mirror monster used a feint and moved between mirrors, no matter how quickly you pointed the lantern at it, until it reached a specific state where it became vulnerable to attack, it would apparently move to another mirror during the time lag between pressing the stone and the light actually coming out. That seemed to be the point where it was easiest to fail.

Also, even if you took damage along the way, the upgraded lantern would restore all the damage you had taken for the final battle, which was a thoughtful design intended to make it easier to clear.

In fact, the phases of the mirror monster during the final battle also seemed to be based around noticing the sense of wrongness as it approached, waiting for an opportunity without being fooled by its feints, and being caught off guard from outside your awareness, along with the attacks encountered along the way. It seemed that the phase wouldnt change when you failed, so all things considered, the difficulty really did seem to be designed on the assumption that you would clear it.

[But even though it was pretty unexpected, it was fun!]

[Hina-chan, why does your face seem a little red?]

[It was scary after all! So scary I even cried a little A- Anyway, lets move on to the next one!]

Hina-chan hurriedly tried to cover it up when Aoi-chan pointed out the lingering redness from when Id put my arm around her shoulders earlier. However, Aoi-chan naturally already knew that Hina-chan wasnt good with scary things, so she simply nodded without thinking much of it.

[Hina-chan, where are we going next?]

[Next, lets just go with something that actually has coaster in the name. Id rather not have another horror attraction suddenly ambush us]

[I dont think well keep running into horror attractions that often How about this snow-and-ice coaster then?]

As I watched Aoi-chan and Hina-chan talking while we moved along, someone suddenly gave me a light pat on the shoulder. When I turned around, I found Luna-san there, wearing an amused, rather mischievous grin.

Hmmm, Luna-san can be pretty perceptive, so she probably figured out something was going on between Hina-chan and me and came over to tease me about it.

[It seems that, for Miyama-sama, this was an attraction where you could experience emotions other than fear. Even while out with such a large group, the way you boldly seized every opportunity to make your move as though you were deliberately waiting for an opening This humble Lunamaria cannot help but feel a profound sense of awe.]

[Youre as lively as a fish in water. Were you okay with the horror attractions, Luna-san?]

[I had no particular problem with them. Rather, what I was worried about was places like the Forest Area]

[Ah, I see Though, I dont think theres probably anything like what youre worried about, Luna-san]

What Luna-san wasnt good with was insects, and while the Forest Area certainly seemed like the place in this amusement park where something like that might appear Unless they were cute, exaggerated, cartoon-like insects, I didnt think there were any attractions featuring realistic caterpillars or anything else that would scare Luna-san.

Well, if I carelessly went along with the topic, shed probably tease me about it endlessly, so it was important to skillfully steer the conversation elsewhere.

[So? What exactly happened? You can tell me secretly, just between the two of us, you know? After all, you and I are so close, arent we, Miyama-sama]

[No comment.]

[Mmph, youre keeping your guard up. Well, very well. We still have plenty of time after all, so from here on, Ill continue to enjoy watching the prowess of Peerless Love Warrior Miyama-sama. So, who will you be setting your sights on next?]

She looked like she was having fun. She looked like she was having a lot of fun. If anything, she seemed to be enjoying herself more than at any point since wed arrived at this amusement park. Luna-san also had a side to her that liked gossip, so perhaps she enjoyed talking about romance-related matters as well.

Even now, while she was honestly teasing me to some extent, she also seemed genuinely fascinated by anything related to romance Come to think of it, her tastes and interests really were quite feminine.

[Then, I suppose Ill set my sights on Luna-san next.]

[Oh my, whatever shall I do? At long last, I too have fallen prey to Miyama-samas fangs.]

[..]

[Eh? A- Are you actually serious?]

When I stared back at Luna-san with a straight face after her playful response, she began to panic, her expression clearly showing that she was shaken.

In that respect, she was rather similar to Alice. She liked to stick her nose into this sort of thing of her own accord, stirring things up and asking all sorts of questions, yet the moment the tables were turned on her, she became extremely vulnerable. They were remarkably alike in that regard.

[Well, who knows?]

[L- Lets calm down, Miyama-sama You yourself said it before, didnt you? That if you put your mind to it, you could probably seize the initiative in an instant Considering the difference in our actual experience, there is no way I could possibly stand a chance if Miyama-sama seriously came after me. Dont you think bullying the weak is rather shameful? I believe the strong should possess a generous heart.]

[Then, for now, whenever we come across an attraction where we have to split into pairs, lets go together.]

[Miyama-sama, I apologize for getting carried away, so please have mercy Miyama-sama occasionally shows an S side toward Alice-sama and me, so I have nothing but apprehension about this.]

[]

[Please stop smiling silently like that Its frightening, you see.]

Truth be told, the fact that she teased me about romantic matters was practically like shaking hands with me, or rather, it was as though she had challenged me to a battle by bringing up the very subject that was her own weakness.

Even now, my previous impression hasnt changed. If anything compared to when Id talked with her during the Six Kings Festival, Id gained more experience myself. More importantly, the countermeasures Id developed for dealing with Alice applied here as well, so when it came to this sort of topic, I felt I could seize the initiative as easily as taking candy from a baby.

? ? ? : [Yeah, thats true. Kaito-san sometimes gets a little more S-like toward people who like to tease him, like me Alice-chan and Luna-san, so its kind of troublesome.]

Serious-senpai : [I feel like its also proof that he feels comfortable around you guys. Its a different sort of relationship, but he also speaks sharply to people like Tre]
