Next, following the navigation map provided by the amusement park, Mochizuki and Shiina Mahiru experienced quite a few thrilling and exciting rides.
For example, the drop tower, pirate ship, pendulum ride, swing ride, off-road action... Mochizuki found that Shiina Mahiru wasn't afraid of these thrilling facilities at all; despite her small, delicate female body, there wasn't a trace of fear.
On the contrary, after playing so many rides, he felt his calves trembling slightly.
Shiina Mahiru, however, looked rosy-cheeked and completely normal.
Now, the two arrived in front of the bumper cars game.
Mochizuki quite liked this game because he just needed to sit inside the car; how could a boy stay away from racing cars?
One person per car, the arena was mostly filled with children playing, while adults watched from the outside.
Operating bumper cars is very simple and easy to pick up, mainly by turning the steering wheel to control the vehicle's movement.
Colliding with the small cars controlled by others.
The impact force is quite strong, but people in the cars get some cushioning, yet there's still a sense of vibration, giving a feeling of releasing stress.
"Bang—bang—bang," Mochizuki gleefully controlled his small car, colliding with others, somewhat suspected of bullying children.
"Bang—bang—bang," Mochizuki felt a hard impact from behind, thinking which little brat had ambushed him and that he would show them how formidable he was.
Turning back, he saw Shiina Mahiru's sly smile; she was the one who controlled her car to hit Mochizuki.
"Alright, Shiina, you actually ambushed me, you're finished."
Mochizuki quickly controlled his small car to turn around, wanting to get revenge.
Shiina Mahiru also showed a nervous expression and quickly dodged.
...Finally, time was up.
The bumper car game ended.
Mochizuki still felt like he hadn't had enough, just like Shiina Mahiru after riding the roller coaster.
"Hmph, Mochizuki-kun is bullying people."
Shiina Mahiru pouted and spoke to Mochizuki.
Because after hitting Mochizuki once, she was caught by Mochizuki and retaliated against.
"Ahem, Shiina, you were clearly the one who ambushed me first."
"I was originally having fun playing with the children."
"But you shouldn't have hit me so many times."
"Also, you were bullying the children, bullying children is too mean!"
"Who told you everyone inside was a child, hahahaha."
...After playing for so long, both of them were a bit tired.
The time had also reached noon.
Mochizuki and Shiina Mahiru decided to find a place for lunch and rest a bit.
It must be said that the amusement park has a dedicated dining area with numerous restaurants of various sizes, offering a rich variety of food.
It can also meet the needs of most tourists, it's just that the prices are slightly more expensive than outside.
But in a place like this, there's nothing to be done.
Mochizuki and Shiina chose a restaurant with an omurice sign because, compared to other shops, there were fewer people here, and maybe they wouldn't have to queue for so long.
Entering the shop, the cool air conditioning relieved the heat from both of them.
A pretty sales assistant quickly led Mochizuki and Shiina to a booth seat.
Then, handing over the menu, she went to serve other customers first.
Meanwhile, outside the shop.
A girl with a Yui Yuigahama hairstyle, pointing at the large sign with the words "Omurice," excitedly shouted to a blonde girl and a black-haired companion.
"Hey, Yumiko, Ebina, let's go eat omurice!"
"Idiot, that's a couple's restaurant! Didn't you see the two big hearts on the sign!"
Miura Yumiko spoke, telling Yui Yuigahama.
"Huh, we can't go to a couple's restaurant? There are lots of empty seats."
Yui Yuigahama put her index finger to her chin and foolishly said.
"Do you want to go in and watch couples? Watch them feed each other! Let's go get ice cream! It's so hot."
"Oh oh oh! Ice cream is fine too! Let's go!"
"Okay."
After speaking, the three continued walking forward to look for an ice cream shop.
Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, Mochizuki and Shiina Mahiru also noticed something strange about the menu.
Why are they all couple sets?
Their eyes surveyed the surroundings and found that almost all the seats were two-person booths.
The current customers were also all one male and one female, presumably boyfriends and girlfriends, talking intimately, and even snuggling together.
There were only a handful of one or two single customers sitting in the corner.
They realized that this should be a couple's restaurant.
They were careless!
But they had already been sitting for so long, and they felt embarrassed to suggest leaving, plus the other restaurants were too crowded.
Shiina Mahiru spoke first, pointing to a set meal: "How about this one? It's quite affordable."
The set meal included two portions of omurice and two drinks.
For drinks, Mochizuki naturally chose iced cola, while Shiina Mahiru chose a strawberry ice cream milkshake.
After a while, the waiter brought the omurice and drinks.
Golden yellow egg wrapped the rice, shaped into a heart, emitting a rich aroma.
Sauce was also drizzled on the egg.
Mochizuki added barbecue sauce, while Shiina added ketchup.
Both of them eagerly began to taste the omurice, exclaiming "Delicious!"
Shiina Mahiru also started tasting the ice cream; the cup was filled to the brim, with chopped strawberries piled on top, as well as various other toppings like peanuts, raisins, and pearls.
It looked much more cost-effective than choosing cola.
After taking a bite, Shiina Mahiru's face showed a happy expression, thinking it was especially delicious.
Then, she scooped another spoonful, wanting Mochizuki to try the taste.
Shiina Mahiru extended her hand towards Mochizuki, as if feeding a child.
"Mochizuki-kun, do you want some?
Before Mochizuki could answer.
"Ah—" Mochizuki was caught off guard, wouldn't this be...
Shiina Mahiru was being too familiar, wasn't she, and too unguarded around him?
Mochizuki shook his head in a panic and blurted out a reminder: "The spoon, the spoon..."
"You're not eating it?"
Shiina was still a bit confused, but then quickly realized, rapidly withdrew her hand, and put the ice cream from the spoon into her own mouth.
At the same time, she lowered her head, remained silent, and pretended to be tasting the flavor.
Shiina Mahiru also realized that the spoon was one she had used, and if Mochizuki ate from it, wouldn't it be an indirect kiss? She was too careless.
Both of them felt a bit embarrassed, and Mochizuki changed the subject and spoke.
"I didn't expect you, Shiina, to enjoy thrilling rides so much."
Shiina Mahiru smiled shyly and softly said: "Maybe because I've never experienced them before, I was too excited."
"I thought you'd prefer relaxed rides like the carousel, Ferris wheel, and teacups."
"Hmph, I'm not a child anymore, Mochizuki-kun."
"But we can try them in the afternoon."
"Oh! Okay."
Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief; finally, they could enjoy some relaxed rides.
"But can we go to the haunted house first after eating?"
"Hmm, no problem."
Mochizuki wouldn't be afraid of the haunted house.
He was a firm materialist.
