Chapter 2656: Re: Demon Realm Amusement Park

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After leaving Undead World, I first headed over to meet Rasal-san, as promised. Just like when I first met her, she was near the entrance to the attraction, so I spotted her right away.

[Ohh, welcome back. How did you find it?]

[It was really intricately designed, and I had a great time. I also learned more about the Undead, so it felt like I was having fun while learning.]

[Thats a relief to hear. As for me, since I helped create it, Im naturally biased in its favor. And because I already know how all the tricks work, it was difficult for me to judge it objectively.]

[Do the rooms startle you right away mainly to make a strong impression?]

In fact, Undead World had been a lot of fun. The concept was simple: walk through the rooms in order and see various kinds of Undead. However, each room had its own clever touches, so I never got bored. More than anything, I liked that I could choose whether or not to display the explanations.

I could learn more about whatever interested me, while if I already knew a fair amount about something, I could focus on the exhibits without reading the explanations.

[Thats right. It was mainly Sechss idea, but apparently, startling visitors at the beginning makes the experience more memorable. It also makes them more likely to pay close attention to the performances and other attractions that follow.]

[Ahh, that makes sense. The contrast catches your attention too. I see, youve really thought this through. By the way, Rasal-san, are you an Undead?]

[No, Im a necromancer, but Im not an Undead in the racial sense. Im a Unique-species Demon, so I dont have a specific racial name. However, in terms of my characteristics, I suppose Im closest to a Dark Elf.]

In fantasy works, Dark Elves were Elves with dark skin who were often portrayed as villains. However Dark Elves in this world were simply a nocturnal race that looked a lot like Elves.

[I dont know much about Dark Elves, to be honest. Werent they called something else in the past?]

[Yes. They were once called Shadow Hobbits, but its said that they changed the name to make it more familiar, since their appearance and characteristics closely resembled those of the Elves in the Human Realm.]

[They look almost exactly alike, too, right?]

[I would say theyre practically identical. According to one theory, they may be descendants of Elves who somehow strayed from the Human Realm into the Demon Realm due to a dimensional anomaly.]

Id heard that the only real difference between Dark Elves and ordinary Elves in this world was that Dark Elves were nocturnal. Their skin color was the same as that of ordinary Elves, too, and apparently, you couldnt tell them apart even when they stood side by side.

There seemed to be various internal differences, such as the types of magic they excelled at due to their racial characteristics though

[I see. So youre somewhat similar to them, Rasal-san.]

[Only in appearance though As you can see, I also have long ears.]

As she said that, Rasal-san revealed a little of the ears that had been hidden beneath her hood and hair. They were indeed long ears, quite similar to Sieg-sans. If I hadnt heard her explanation, I might have mistaken her for an Elf.

[Thank you for telling me all this.]

[Not at all. This much is no trouble. Ill be staying here to watch the attraction for a while longer, so please have fun here in this area of the amusement park, Kaito-sama.]

[Thank you. Well, see you later.]

After exchanging a brief farewell, I left Rasal-san and rejoined the others only to find Hina-chan and Aoi-chan apparently arguing about something.

[No way! Aoi-senpai was definitely scared too!]

[Thats just how it looked to you, Hina-chan. You were so scared that you developed a bias toward seeking reassurance from others, causing you to interpret my surprised reactions that way]

[Mnghh~~ Ive suspected this for a while now Aoi-senpai might just be hiding it, but maybe youre actually bad with horror stuff You dont seem to want to talk about that kind of thing very much either.]

[T- Thats not true. Its just that there arent many opportunities to bring up horror-related topics in everyday conversation.]

I see. I more or less understood what was going on. Hina-chan was insisting that Aoi-chan must have been pretty scared too, while Aoi-chan maintained that horror attractions didnt frighten her.

However, Aoi-chan had a competitive streak, or perhaps a rather strong sense of pride, so even when Hina-chan said that to her, she seemed determined not to admit it Somehow, it was a rather endearing exchange.

Well, judging by Aoi-chans reactions in Undead World, I did get the feeling that she was actually pretty easily frightened

[Then, how about we put that to the test? Shall we go to an even scarier attraction and let me prove that Im not afraid?]

[Eh? A- An even scarier attraction T- Thats a little]

[Then, since you cant back up your claim, lets just agree that Im fine with horror attractions.]

[Gunununu F- Fine! Ill do it! Lets go! Kaito-senpai! Ask Alice-sama which attraction is the scariest! Im going to settle this with Aoi-senpai! Also, Kaito-senpai, you have to stay right beside me the entire time were on that attraction! You absolutely must not leave my side!!!]

You could say it was a case of one thing leading to another. After taking the bait and accepting the challenge we ended up asking Alice which attraction was the scariest and deciding to go there. Incidentally, Hina-chan was already trembling with fear, and she seemed fully prepared to cling to me from this very moment onward.

[The scariest attraction? Well, its not in this area, but Id say the My Beloved Child Museum.]

[Thats straight-up a psychological torture facility, isnt it?]

Serious-senpai : [This is being presented as Hinas event, but the real target is actually Aoi, isnt it? No matter how you look at it, shes definitely going to be scared]
