Chapter 2571 - Demon Realm Amusement Park ②
Chapter 2571 - Demon Realm Amusement Park ②
After traveling in an incredibly comfortable carriage that barely shook at all, we arrived at the amusement park. Meeting up in front of the entrance…… we all stared at the park with lightly stunned expressions.
[……I- It’s way more authentic than I expected…… this is incredible.]
[Eh? Just from looking at it, doesn’t it seem ridiculously huge?]
I could understand Aoi-chan and Hina-chan’s surprise. Honestly, I was shocked too. Back when Shiro-san had first created it, and when I went around it with Kuro and Alice…… it had still been about the size of an ordinary amusement park.
But what stood before us now was something reminiscent of those famous theme parks in Chiba or Osaka…… no, the entrance alone was already overwhelmingly massive.
[This is truly an absurdly large facility.]
[Indeed. We can’t even grasp its full scale from here…… but if the entrance alone is this enormous, the inside must be on another level entirely.]
[……So Kaito-san’s world has multiple facilities this enormous……]
Naturally, it was Lilia-san, Luna-san, and Sieg-san’s first time seeing an amusement park, and they wore expressions full of curiosity and amazement.
Nearby, Anima and the others were also talking amongst themselves with great interest.
[Cara, this thing’s seriously enormous……]
[We can’t tell the whole scale from the entrance alone, but judging from the area of land owned by Kuromueina-sama around here, the size of the entrance, and the rough estimate from simple magic detection…… this place might exceed a one-kilometer radius from the center.]
[……Theta, how large was the central coliseum in Battle City again?]
[If I remember correctly, its radius was around 500 meters. So if this is even bigger than that…… it might be the largest commercial facility ever built in the Demon Realm.]
The coliseum in Battle City ruled over by Megiddo-san was absolutely enormous. Considering it had been built so the over-ten-meter-tall Megiddo-san could fight at full force, that was only natural.
But according to Anima, Caraway, Eta, and Theta, this amusement park was even larger than that…… which meant it might actually dwarf that certain famous theme park in Chiba.
[But still, this is so exciting! At this size, there’s no way we could see everything in one day, but that just means there must be some amazing attractions here! And look, they even have cute mascots, it really feels like a proper theme park!]
Prompted by Hina-chan’s excited words, I looked around near the entrance and spotted a cat mascot holding a sign that read “Entrance This Way”.
……Unn, how should I put this…… it barely retained its original form anymore. Judging from the fact that it was a cat, it was probably originally based on the cat costume Alice used to wear, but it had been heavily redesigned into something genuinely cute, completely different from the vaguely creepy design it used to have.
Kuro definitely supervised this extensively…… Last time I came here with Kuro and Alice, there had been merchandise based on that mascot suit, but once Kuro became a co-manager, she must’ve mercilessly rejected all the bad designs.
[This is our first time experiencing something like an amusement park at all, so we’ll have to rely on you all to teach us various things, Kaito-san.]
[Even for us, an amusement park of this scale is completely new territory…… but well, we at least have a rough idea of what kinds of facilities and attractions there’ll be, so I think we’ll manage.]
As Lilia-san said, among everyone here, the only ones who truly understood what an amusement park was like were me, Aoi-chan, and Hina-chan. Aoi-chan had apparently never been to one before, but she still probably knew a lot about them in theory.
Then I glanced over at Lilia-san’s group and Anima’s group, and every single one of them was looking at me. When I turned toward Aoi-chan and Hina-chan, they were looking at me too…… Ah, wait…… am I supposed to be the one leading everyone around?
[……For now, let’s go take care of the admission process. If possible, I’d like to get a map of the park or maybe a brochure……]
It was pretty unusual for me to be the one taking charge in a group outing like this instead of Lilia-san, but considering the location was an amusement park, it couldn’t really be helped.
That said, compared to when I came here with Shiro-san, Kuro, and Alice, both the layout and scale were so completely different that I definitely wanted some kind of map before deciding how to go around the place.
[……Ah, wait, never mind. The person who made this place is right here……]
[Eh? Ahh, so I’m supposed to handle that? Here you go, brochures.]
Come to think of it, the one who had built this amusement park together with Kuro was standing right beside us, so if we wanted to know about maps and things like that, asking Alice was obviously the fastest option.
The moment I called out to her, Alice, apparently having expected this already, immediately pulled out enough brochures for everyone and handed them over.
[Thanks…… though there’s one thing I want to ask. What’s with that absurd-looking facility I just saw called “Baby Castella Castle”?]
[That was built because a certain baby-castella idiot forcefully pushed the idea through. We discussed and designed most of the facilities and attractions together, but we agreed to each make one personal project completely free from the other’s interference. That thing’s what Kuro-san created.]
[……I see. Got it.]
Well, naturally, it was the handiwork of that Baby Castella Devil. Honestly, if it hadn’t been, I’d have been more worried. Arehh? That means Alice also made some attraction or facility entirely based on her own personal tastes, didn’t she? Hmm, considering Alice’s personality and preferences…… I have a bad feeling she’d made some ridiculously over-the-top romance-themed attraction.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [She calls herself a sh*tty noob at romance, but Alice really does love romantic stuff and super cliché love events……]
? ? ? : [Careful with your choice of words there, Fake Serious…… or I’ll cook you up and feed you to Makina, you know?]
Serious-senpai : [I haven’t even made fun of anything yet! I’m just talking about the information we’ve gotten so far!!! It’s not like I’m insulting you, okay!?]
