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

Chapter 2585 - Demon Realm Amusement Park ⑯

Having ridden three attractions, one more than originally planned, we finished the Aqua Area and began heading toward the next zone.

As expected, Hina-chan looked like she was having an incredible time, and it was genuinely heartwarming to see.

[That was amazing! Every single one of them was so well-made. I never imagined they’d be that incredible!]

[I think magic plays a huge part in it. The realism of the Illusion Magic is amazing and makes everything feel so intense. But at the same time, they don’t just rely on flashy magic, they still understand the classic flow and presentation that make amusement park attractions fun. I was really impressed.]

[Exactly! As expected of Alice-sama. She perfectly captures what makes amusement park attractions feel like amusement park attractions while also adding magical elements unique to this world. It’s so much fun! Honestly, I wanted to try a lot more rides in the Aqua Area, but if we do that, we won’t have time to visit all the other zones…… Gununu, what a dilemma!]

Indeed, every attraction we’d ridden in the Aqua Area had been enjoyable, and I definitely wanted to try the others as well.

But as Hina-chan said, seeing all seven zones would be difficult. Each area was so vast and packed with attractions that even spending an entire day in just one zone might not be enough to experience everything. In that sense, it couldn’t really be helped.

Well, that desire to come back and try the attractions you missed is exactly what creates repeat visitors. Having too many attractions to finish in a single day is actually an effective strategy if the goal is to encourage people to return.

[But, Kaito-senpai, I was thinking…… this amusement park must have cost an absurd amount of money, right? It’s incredible, and there’s no doubt it’s fun, but…… can they actually make a profit from this?]

[Ahh…… about that. If I remember correctly, they apparently exploited Gods as a labor force, so the whole thing is operating under some pretty outrageous circumstances. To begin with, the amusement park Shiro-san originally created, the one that’s probably equivalent to the central Otherworld Area, runs on an infinite power source, and the attractions maintain themselves automatically. Apparently, it costs practically nothing to operate……]

[I- I see…… That’s completely insane. Making Gods work as laborers…… Is that really alright?]

[……As for that, I’m not really in a position to say anything. Even if it was based on her own wishes, I’ve got Canalis-san handling Nifty for me after all……]

[Now that you mention it, Kaito-senpai is actually the most outrageous one here. Compared to you, this amusement park almost seems tame, which is kind of amazing.]

My remarkably growing kouhai had a knack for hitting painfully accurate points. She was absolutely right. When it came to outrageous behavior, I had no standing whatsoever to criticize anyone. If anything, the people around me were far more absurd than this amusement park.

Even so, throughout the conversation Hina-chan wore a bright smile, clearly enjoying herself immensely. There’s something charming about her innocent, carefree nature. Maybe it’s because so many of the people around me are older, but as one of the few younger people in my life, she has that adorable little-sister-like appeal.

She has the kind of charm that makes you want to look after her, spoil her, and take care of her. And seeing Hina-chan having so much fun naturally made me feel happy as well.

[In a way, it feels like you’re having the most fun out of everyone, Hina-chan.]

[Amusement parks are fun! I’m happy that I get to come here with Kaito-senpai and Aoi-senpai too, and…… how should I put it? I just love the lively atmosphere of a place like this!]

As she spoke, expressing her excitement with her entire body as though she were throwing her hands up in celebration, Hina-chan looked even younger than her actual age. More than anything, it was obvious just how much she loved amusement parks, the attractions, the atmosphere, all of it.

For someone like Hina-chan, who enjoyed spending time and having fun with groups of people, simply being here with everyone and exploring the park together was probably an absolute delight.

Of course, she wasn’t being reckless. Even while excited, she wasn’t letting her enthusiasm completely control her actions. Still, she looked so energetic that it wouldn’t have been surprising if she suddenly broke into a run at any moment.

That said, I felt like she probably shouldn’t be bouncing around quite so much. Despite the youthful aura she gave off, she possessed a rather impressive figure that didn’t match that image at all. Watching her hop around right in front of me made it difficult not to let my eyes drift in that area, which left me feeling somewhat unsettled.

W- Well, as long as she was having fun, that was what mattered.

[……Errr, are we about to see the next area?]

[Yeah. It’s probably over there…… Ah, isn’t that it? Though…… wow, that’s incredible.]

[This is…… on a whole different scale.]

The next area coming into view was the Forest Area…… and even from a distance, I could see towering trees lining the landscape. It possessed the authentic atmosphere of a vast, ancient forest, so convincing that I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the sight.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [At the moment, there aren’t really any romantic events or a lovey-dovey atmosphere…… but there is a hint of something bittersweet to it. Hina is obviously the type who loves Kaito without realizing it herself, and I think she definitely has romantic feelings for him. However, she’s also the type who wants to be pampered by a kind older person, so right now the feeling is much more like a little sister innocently acting spoiled around her gentle older brother…… but there’s a real danger that once she becomes aware of her feelings, she’ll fall head over heels all at once.]
