Chapter 174: Amusement Park Private Party ②

After a few dozen minutes driving, we finally arrive at the amusement park.

“Takuya-sama ♡, welcome to my First Stage private party ♡”

“Thanks for the invite, Mikuni-san.”

“Of course ♡, it’s for you, Takuya-sama ♡”

“Takuya~ ♡, I think you should stick with Mikuni-chan here, it’s only fair~ ♡”

“Everyone cool with that?”

No one objects when I ask. They must all be grateful to Mikuni-san.

“Then, should we roulette Takuya’s group? How many people?”

Kaede pulls out her phone to set up the roulette, but she’s unsure how many to include.

“Hmm… I hear 3 or 4 is good for this, but since it’s private, maybe…”

Yuika-san offers a guideline, but that’s for a normal daytime park, right?

“How about 6? It’s divisible by 2 or 3…”

“Nice one, Marin-chan! ♡ Math whiz ♡”

Following Fuka-san’s idea, we settle on 6, picking 4 more to join me and Mikuni-san.

“Roulette start! ♡ …First is Satsuki-san~ ♡, super safe~ ♡”

Kaede’s right—if there’s any troublemaker, Satsuki-san will handle it. Hopefully, there’s no such person.

“Next~ ♡ …Yuika-chan~ ♡”

“Yes! ♡”

Yuika-san’s unusually hyped, reminding me she’s a girl despite her usual leader role. I hope she plays hard and refreshes today.

“Whoa! ♡ Marin-chan again? ♡ You’re on fire today~ ♡”

“Might’ve used up all my luck… ♡”

Marin-san hit the room roulette too, so she’s got insane luck, picking from about 40 people.

“Last~ ♡ …Rin-san ♡”

“Yay~ ♡, amusement park date with Takkun ♡”

Rin-san’s got a cute, excited side despite her age. She’s always tired from work, so I want her to let loose.

“Then, everyone else group up as you like ♡, let’s have fun~ ♡”

““““Got it~ ♡””””

“Takkun ♡, put on the headband ♡”

“Yup.”

We pre-bought everyone’s favorite headbands from the official store, so we put them on and take photos.

“Takuya-sama ♡, what should we do first? ♡”

“Hmm…”

“Fufufu ♡, leave it to Onee-chan! ♡ I’ve researched the fun ones! ♡”

“Wow! ♡ So reliable, Rin-san! ♡”

With Rin-san’s lead, we start with an immersive, non-thrilling attraction.

“So cool~ ♡, no lines at all~ ♡”

“Ufufu ♡, the perk of a private event ♡”

“Thanks, Mikuni-chan ♡”

“It’s my thanks to everyone ♡”

The ride fits three, so it’s me, Mikuni-san, and Yuika-san.

“Takuya-kun ♡, how is it? ♡ Fun? ♡”

“Yup! It’s super exciting!”

“Wonderful ♡”

The snowy mountain-themed attraction has mist for blizzards and shaking for avalanches, pulling us right into the world.

After, we join the other three and move on.

“I wanna ask everyone—watch the parade or keep riding until it’s time?”

Rin-san, our escort, throws out options.

“It’s Halloween season, so it’s a special parade! ♡”

“Hmm… Maybe the parade, since we can ride more later…”

“Then, parade it is! ♡”

Swayed by Mikuni-san, we decide to end with the parade.

“Next, thrill rides! ♡”

“Takuya-kun ♡, you good? ♡”

“I wanna try…”

“Let’s go! ♡”

My first thrill ride, no idea what it’s like, but it’s gotta be fun.

“Then, next to you… Mikuni-chan! ♡”

Rock-paper-scissors picks Mikuni-san to sit beside me, and we board.

“Takuya-sama ♡, will you hold my hand? ♡”

“Sure.”

Holding Mikuni-san’s hand, we climb higher and higher.

“Kyaaaaa!! ♡♡”

Rocking wildly up, down, left, and right, we speed along the rails, even doing a full loop before returning to the start.

Lucky us, we got front seats, so I saw the whole park.

If this were a Ferris wheel, it’d be prime kissing time, but I just held Mikuni-san’s hand.

“How was it, Takkun? ♡ Your first thrill ride? ♡”

“It was fun!”

“Great ♡, let’s keep going~ ♡”

We roam the park, hitting various attractions. We meet other groups, ride together, and visit the gift shop.

“Takuya-kun, want some popcorn?”

“Thanks… That’s cute…”

“T-Thank you ♡”

Rina-san’s wearing an adorable popcorn bucket around her neck, looking like she’s enjoying it the most.

“Takuya-sama ♡, how about the Ferris wheel? ♡”

“Taking in the view slowly sounds nice…”

We’ve been on fast rides, so something chill could be good.

“Takuya-kun ♡, Ferris wheel means kissing! ♡”

“Yuika-chan… isn’t it better left unsaid…?”

“But~ ♡, not saying it and just riding would be sad ♡”

Marin-san’s right—I’d like to think I’m romantic enough for a kiss in a moody spot like the Ferris wheel.

“Then, Takuya-kun, your hand ♡”

Yuika-san pulls me onto the Ferris wheel. It’s spacious, fitting all six comfortably.

“One kiss each ♡ …chuu ♡, chupa ♡, reero ♡”

First, I give Rin-san a sweet kiss, thanking her for guiding us.

“Satsuki-san, thanks for driving… chuu”

“Chururu ♡, hamu ♡, muchu ♡ …No problem… ♡”

Satsuki-san’s been driving my car, so I want her to relax.

“Takuya-kun ♡ …chuuuu ♡, rechu ♡”

Yuika-san kisses me wordlessly, just as the Ferris wheel hits its peak.

“Marin-san… Here goes… chuu”

“Muchu ♡, muchu ♡, churoro ♡”

Marin-san’s trembling lips accept me, taking in my tongue too.

“Takuya-sama ♡, chuu ♡, mutchu ♡, reerochuu ♡”

“Fugyu… chupa… npa…”

Mikuni-san sucks my lips until the last second, almost like the cast might see.

“Takuya-sama ♡, this is such a great memory ♡”

“That’s my line.”

After the Ferris wheel, I ride a shooting game attraction with Marin-san and Satsuki-san. They’re insanely good, racking up points.

“You guys are too strong!”

“I-I’m just good at these… ♡”

Marin-san’s aim is sharp from playing shooters. My score’s meh, so they totally carry me.

“Oh, it’s almost parade time! ♡ Let’s go ♡”

““““Got it~ ♡””””

After Rin-san’s recommended rides, the parade starts right on cue, and the plaza buzzes. It’s a special Halloween version, so everyone’s hyped.

Dazzling lights, fireworks, and a vibrant parade pull us into the world, making it sad when it ends.

I only buy souvenirs for classmates, but everyone else gets theirs and enjoys the parade, making it a fulfilling few hours.

“Thanks again, Mikuni-san.”

“No ♡, this is just one way to repay you, Takuya-sama ♡”

“I don’t recall doing anything that big…”

“Fufu ♡, I decide how big it is ♡, and it’s very, very big ♡”

Knowing Mikuni-san struggled so much with her chest issues, I’m glad Mikoto-san and I pushed for her.

“Fwaa~ ♡, I don’t wanna wake from this dream~ ♡”

“Ugh… Back to reality and work…”

Everyone leaves the park in a dreamy haze, like the magic’s fading.

Rin-san, with her tough job, is especially down.

“But reality has Takuya-kun, so waking up’s okay ♡. I can definitely see you, not just in dreams ♡”

Yuika-san stays by my side, looking happy even after leaving.

“True~ ♡, Takuya’s why I can push through reality ♡”

Arisa didn’t join us today, but I’m glad to know I give her energy.

“Rin-san, come to our place anytime, okay? Right, Mom?”

“Of course~ ♡, Taku-chan and everyone would love it ♡”

“So warm… I might cry…”

I hug Rin-san to my chest, gently patting her head.

We pile into the cars and head back to the hotel. It’s just before 10 p.m., so the night’s still young.

I hear the hotel has a bar—maybe the adults will go? No driving tonight, so they can drink.

“You must be tired, Takuya-sama, so rest until we reach the hotel…”

“Okay, Miki-san.”

Miki-san drapes her jacket over my shoulders, lulling me to sleep. Holding her hand, smelling her sweet scent, I close my eyes and let the car rock me.
