131 – Fool’s Operation – 2
I was waiting for Shiraishi and his group to return, but I wasn’t bored as I was watching the parade taking place in front of the square.
“I really enjoyed it~! “I need to get one in my villa too!”
“When Shiraishi says it, it doesn’t sound like a joke.”
“Elena. “Could you please find out how I can purchase that device?”
“Yes. All right.”
“No, just a little! “I told you not to do it!”
Yuki was seen struggling and trying to stop them.
“Ah! Everyone~! “Here!”
Meanwhile, Shiraishi found us and waved his hand.
Only then did we join and leave the square.
“As expected, we’re sorry for having to wait for everyone else.”
“Okay. Next time, let’s choose something we can all ride together.”
Since Haruna can’t go on fast and rough rides, her options seem to be quite limited.
“Oh, no. Are you okay. “It was fun to watch the parade.”
Haruna spoke as if she was considerate of them.
To be honest, I didn’t like that type of thing either. She liked being with Haruna.
“Then what should we ride next!”
“That would be great!”
“Oh, I want to ride it too.”
While they were looking around and discussing, Yuuko quietly stood behind me.
“You remember the operation, right?”
“Well, whatever.”
The first one was in vain.
Yuko and I had made many plans after that.
Since I have no other way, I decided to follow her lead for now.
But he had to deliberately flirt with another woman in front of Haruna.
When such a situation came up, I couldn’t even think about it.
Perhaps that was the first problem with the harem plan.
The guilt I feel for being the backbone of the plan.
It was something that they, and even I, were reluctant to do.
“Then proceed as planned. Understand?”
I sighed softly.
“Minsu~ What are you doing there! “Welcome!”
“Oh, yes.”
When I looked up, we were far away from them.
I follow him along with Yuuko.
“Is this next?”
“Yes! “I’m really looking forward to it!”
“Let me see how scary it is.”
Yuuki said proudly, crossing his arms.
The next ride was more of a ride or an experience.
Haunted house.
“Haruna. “Are you okay?”
“Uh, yes. “It’s scary, but I’ll do my best!”
I was worried about her and asked her, and she seemed to be in a fighting pose, clenching her fists.
I glanced at the senior and saw a calm reaction.
Given her senior’s personality, he probably wouldn’t scream at the sight of her dressed up ghost.
“Come on~! Let’s all line up together! “Welcome, Miss Yuuko~!”
“Ah, ah… yes!”
Unlike roller coasters, you don’t have to wait long to enter.
If the plan goes as planned here, I will have to stick around with my senior and show Haruna what she looks like.
“Oh, sister. “Let’s go together.”
“Ah, Haru-chan. Would you like me to hold her hand?”
“Yes….”
I fell backwards on purpose.
The second strategy is to enjoy each ride with your senior.
I pretend to be a coincidence and stick around with my senior to see Haruna’s reaction.
But when the time came, I didn’t want to do anything like that.
So, I deliberately widened the distance.
Besides….
“aaah!”
I stopped and looked behind me.
The scream came from far ahead, not from behind.
“If you’re that scared, you can just refuse.”
I looked down at Yuuko, who was squatting there and unable to take a single step.
She couldn’t even scream and was trembling.
It was a course where all you had to do was move forward following the light shining softly in the dark, but Yuuko couldn’t even walk and she was frozen in place.
“Oh, you idiot… Did you forget about the operation? Why, why are you here….”
The cackling cries of ghosts echo. Of course, it was just a sound effect.
“Huh!”
Yuuko covered both her ears and lowered her head.
“You are the fool.”
She sighed and spoke, but she covered her ears and couldn’t hear.
I guess I should say it was a good idea to intentionally fall to the back, just in case.
Yuko’s eyebrows were trembling slightly as she stood in line at the House of Horrors.
At that time, I remembered the horror experience I had on Shiraishi’s Island.
It was just a course for walking through a dark forest, without any specific word ‘fear’ attached to it.
There, Yuuko was trembling violently and could barely walk, relying on me.
She was so scared that she had to endure it even if it meant holding on to me, who hated and was wary of me.
She had a different level of fear than Haruna, but she couldn’t even say a word of refusal and participated.
Nawon indeed.
“Yuko. “Can you stand up?”
“What do you think of me? To this extent….”
Like a newborn baby deer, Yuuko barely stood up and barely took a step.
At the same time, she saw the zombie’s head hanging on the wall and fell backwards in surprise.
“Yuko!”
She barely held the body.
“……… Yuuko?”
“…………….”
“Ha….”
She had fainted with foam in her mouth.
***
I opened my eyes.
When she got up and looked around, she saw a square.
On the bench there.
When my memories finally came back, I rubbed my forehead, remembering my own mistakes.
“Ah….”
After entering the haunted house, I passed out without even being able to take a single step.
What happened next?
Countless people pass by.
Neither her sisters nor Yuuki were visible. No one.
“I… “Did you just leave me alone?”
I thought it might not be possible, but I muttered as I thought about the possibility.
No one faints in a place like that. While enjoying the amusement park, no one would want to waste time caring for someone who has collapsed in a place like this.
“…………….”
Loud music rings out.
A child holding his mother’s hand passes by while eating ice cream.
A group of boys and girls are chatting and laughing.
Dancers on a large carriage and stage dance happily and parade.
“Ah……… ….”
My heart started pounding.
I feel a sense of déjà vu.
I had a similar experience to this when I was young.
I was sitting alone on a bench at the amusement park.
Holding a balloon in one hand and soft ice cream in the other.
Even after my hands got sticky from licking the ice cream, I waited for them to return.
Many people like back then.
Happy parade.
I was left alone there, waiting for them who were my only will.
In the end, they did not return.
I am left behind…… ….
“Whoa…” … Ha… ….”
Take a deep breath.
I clenched my fists to stop my shaking hands.
Still, the trembling did not stop.
Maybe I went back to that time.
To the past.
I want them to never come back again….
“Yuko.”
I raised my head.
The man was right in front of him.
“I called you several times. “Why are you ignoring me?”
Minsu Kim.
He held out a water bottle.
“Drink.”
The man sitting next to me sighed softly and looked ahead.
He looked at that figure blankly and rolled his head to understand the current situation.
Have you been protecting me since I fell?
I glanced at him and said, looking at me.
“If you don’t like something, say it clearly. “Don’t be dragged around like a fool.”
“Who, who!”
I suddenly got up. I extended my finger towards him.
“I was dragged away! Me, I am of my own will!”
“A kid like that faints before he can even take a single step?”
My index finger is trembling.
“……… Yuuko?”
Looking at that, he gave a questioning look.
I sat down on the road and asked while holding my knees tightly.
“Now, how did the operation go?”
“We stopped because the commander fell.”
“Ugh….”
I had nothing to say.
“Other kids will come soon. Unfortunately, it’s already time to go back.”
It was this man who continued to take care of me when I fainted.
“Let’s come to the amusement park again next time.”
The person who said
Was also here the whole time to protect me.
“Ha~ I’m tired.”
I looked at him stretching and looking into the distance.
I lowered my head and thought for a moment.
But now it seemed like there would be no time to hesitate.
“Hey!”
He flinched and shrugged his shoulders and looked back at me.
“Well, what is it? “What else are you dissatisfied with?”
“Oh, no. “That’s not it!”
I waved my hand.
“Uh, that…” !”
He then pointed to the amusement rides seen near the square.
“Let’s get on it!”
“………… Huh?”
It was a Ferris wheel. An amusement ride that rotates slowly while enjoying the scenery.
“No, hey, I didn’t enjoy it at all!”
And that man too.
Because I couldn’t enjoy it properly because they were taking care of me when I collapsed.
It was an expression of such regret, but I hesitated to say it honestly.
“Do you want to ride?”
“Yes, yes. “Before the other kids come.”
I said it was time to go back soon.
I’ve been to amusement parks for as long as I can, but it bothers me to go back without being able to enjoy it even once.
Because of me and that man, he was always here because of me.
“It doesn’t matter if we all ride together.”
“Well, I don’t like that….”
I collapsed in the haunted house and was unconscious for half a day.
I wasn’t back to my senses yet, so I needed some time to put my mind in order.
Time to return to Yuuko.
I also wanted to take a moment while riding the Ferris wheel.
“……… Good. “There’s not much of a line, so let’s get on quickly.”
From Noble mtl dot com
He accepted it willingly and took his steps.
Without a long wait, our turn comes.
The door of the Ferris wheel opened and I got into a small compartment.
The door closed and the Ferris wheel slowly began to turn.
“Wow~ It’s high.”
He looked out the window and muttered.
In the seat right across from me.
The sunset shining through the window illuminated his profile.
“The scenery is nice too.”
I became aware of my own actions at that moment.
A man and I are riding a Ferris wheel alone.
This was my first experience like this.
I have never had the experience of doing anything alone with the opposite s*x, let alone a Ferris wheel.
Because I hated men.
Even if the time came, I would always be quick to notice and avoid it.
But now, I was with that man without even realizing it.
“The Ferris wheel is also good. “Just leisurely.”
He was muttering calmly and looked at me.
“……… Yuuko?”
“Huh, huh?”
“What’s on my face?”
“No! “I didn’t bury it!”
I turned my head and hurriedly looked out the window and shouted.
“Well, more than that, our operation is not over yet!”
“Is it still that…?” .”
“Yes, yes! Of course!”
That’s what’s important.
I told myself that other little things weren’t important and just glared out the window.
