I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN)

Chapter 2573 - Demon Realm Amusement Park ④

After quickly checking the brochure to get a general grasp of the whole place, it was safe to say we were finally ready to head inside.

[Alright, then let’s get going and……]

[Wait a second!]

[……Hina-chan?]

Just as we were about to enter, Hina-chan stopped us with an unusually serious expression. There was an intensity about her unlike anything before.

[We still haven’t decided the order we’re going around in!]

[……Can’t we just figure it out as we go……?]

[That’s naïve, Aoi-senpai! As naïve as a clueless baby!!!]

[S- Seriously?]

Seeing Aoi-chan get overwhelmed by Hina-chan was honestly pretty rare. Hina-chan’s sheer determination was so intense that even Lilia-san and I couldn’t casually cut in.

At the very least, Hina-chan was probably the most knowledgeable about amusement parks among us, and definitely the one looking forward to this the most. If she was insisting this strongly, then deciding the route beforehand might really be important.

[Listen carefully, okay? This is a theme park on this scale. There’s absolutely no way to ride every attraction in a single day. Honestly, if we go in without a plan, we probably won’t even manage to visit all the areas! We may have to give up on conquering every attraction because of time constraints, but we should at least make sure we visit all seven areas! And for that, planning ahead is essential!]

[I- I see…… You certainly have a point, Hina-san. Considering we’ll be giving our impressions afterward, it would be best if we at least visited every area.]

What Hina-chan said made sense. We weren’t just here as ordinary guests enjoying ourselves, especially in Lilia-san’s case, since Kuro had personally asked to use her impressions for promotional purposes. Even if seeing every attraction was impossible, we still wanted to at least tour every area once.

Still, this amusement park was absurdly huge. Honestly, each individual area looked like it could rival the size of a normal amusement park on its own, and the number of attractions listed in the brochure was staggering.

This place is probably, no, unquestionably been built with the concept of “the largest entertainment facility in the Demon Realm” in mind. Trying to wander around without a plan would make it nearly impossible to see every area.

Lilia-san seemed convinced by Hina-chan’s reasoning as well, nodding in agreement as we once again gathered around the brochure to discuss the order we’d go in.

[……Since this is our first time at an amusement park to begin with, I would like Yuzuki-sama to take the lead in advising us here. To put it simply, how many attractions per area do you think would be ideal?]

[Let’s see…… I think we should keep it to about two or three each. Since we’re invited guests this time, I doubt it’ll be so crowded that we’ll end up waiting an hour or anything like that, but I’m sure other invited guests came in family groups or parties too. Given the scale of the place, there’ll probably still be a decent number of people here, so we should expect at least some waiting time. With that in mind, it’s better to keep our pre-planned attractions limited so we can still spontaneously check out anything that catches our interest along the way.]

Hina-chan was giving off the most intellectual atmosphere she ever had in her life, but in the end, what it really boiled down to was that she wanted to enjoy the amusement park to the absolute fullest. Well, that made sense. Hina-chan loved doing things in large groups, and a place like this was probably exactly her dream environment. The sheer passion in her voice made it obvious how serious she was.

[……In Kaito-san’s world, do people really wait an hour for a single attraction?]

[That depends on the season. During crowded periods, especially for popular attractions, people can end up waiting several hours…… but this is still the pre-opening phase, and nobody even knows which attractions are the popular ones yet, so I doubt the waits will get that bad.]

Sieg-san, who was experiencing an amusement park for the very first time, asked with a surprised expression, so I gave a simple explanation. Once this place officially opened and gained popularity, long wait times would probably become normal here too…… and with Alice involved, they might even start selling something like Fast Passes eventually. Still, at least for today, there probably wouldn’t be lines that extreme.

More than anything, the park was simply far too massive, with way too many attractions. Since most of them were completely unknown to the guests, people would probably think, “Rather than standing in line, let’s just go somewhere else”.

[And another important thing is deciding in advance where we’re going to eat. Ideally, we should have lunch after finishing around two areas, then move on to the remaining ones afterward. The central area seems to be the main attraction of the whole park, so I think we should save that for last. Which means we need to decide whether we’re going clockwise or counterclockwise……]

[……At this point, maybe Hina-chan should just decide everything……]

Watching Hina-chan mutter to herself while staring intensely at the brochure, Aoi-chan quietly whispered that under her breath. Honestly, that really did feel like the correct answer. Hina-chan’s enthusiasm was obviously on a completely different level from the rest of us, so it probably would be best to just let her handle everything…… though Hina-chan herself probably preferred the idea of everyone discussing things together and deciding as a group, which made it a bit complicated.

[This is the south entrance, so if we head right, we’ll reach the Dark Area, and if we go left, it’ll be the Aqua Area…… Hina-chan, which do you think is better?]

[Definitely the Aqua Area!]

When I casually asked which area she wanted to visit first, Hina-chan answered immediately without hesitation.

[Any particular reason why?]

[……Because…… the Dark Area definitely has…… haunted houses and scary stuff, right……]

After all the intensity she’d shown earlier, I thought she had some carefully thought-out strategy behind her instant answer…… but it turned out she was just bad with horror attractions. The unexpectedly adorable reason made me inadvertently let out a wry smile.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Since Alice is one of the main people behind this place, there’s definitely going to be something like a haunted house…… or rather, a horror house attraction. That said, I agree with avoiding it. Haunted house-type attractions have an extremely high lovey-dovey threat level…… easily above ★7. They’re very dangerous.]

? ? ? : [There you go again with those weird personal standards……]
