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

Chapter 1420 - Amusement Park Date for Three ①

<Author’s Notes>

I don’t have much time today, so today’s chapter is a little short.

The amusement park date with Kuro and Alice was going around quite happily. Kuro seemed to be having a lot of fun and was very interested in all the play equipment in the other world.

Alice and I knew some things about amusement parks, so we basically went where Kuro wanted to go and enjoyed the attractions.

[……However, Alice, are we alright with time? It looked like Kuro still wanted to play a lot.]

[Ahh, this space had been time-shifted, so considering outside-world time, it’s still alright. Besides, if Kaito-san feels hungry, we can then eat sukiyaki. We can also eat them here if you want. We can use the kitchen in the restaurant area.]

[Eating sukiyaki in an amusement park is kinda strange though……]

[Well, that’s true.]

I was walking through the park while having such a conversation with Alice, but on the way, Alice looked displeased, or rather, she started looking quite anxious.

As I tilted my head, wondering what was with her, Kuro, holding a pamphlet, spoke.

[Let’s go to the Trick House down the road next!]

[……Ah, I knew it……. Please, please…… Please be obediently convinced to go to the Family Path……]

Hearing Kuro’s words and Alice’s small murmur, I finally understood why she had an uneasy expression on her face.

If down the road was the same Trick House as before…… the same one I went to with Shiro-san, I mean, it was an escape game-like building with three routes: Family Path, Couple Path and one for a certain mysterious senpai.

Well, I remember that the mystery solving was only in name, and the content for couples was about being princess carried and playing couple-like games.

[Kuro-san, please listen. There are three routes in this Trick House. Well, one of them is actually just built to bully Senpai, so there are actually just two routes.]

[Fumu fumu.]

Like I said before, what does Alice have against Senpai? W- Well, leaving that aside, it seems that Alice is trying to persuade Kuro, but somehow, my gut is telling me that that’s probably impossible……

[Family Path and Couple Path.]

[We’re going to the Couple Path then?]

[No, there’s a problem with that.]

[Problem?]

[The Couple Path is set to be only for two people, so if we have to take that route, at least one of us will have to wait outside until the people inside finish through the Couple Path. It’s a long process, and the waiting time is inevitably longer. In contrast, the Family Path allows three people to go at the same time……]

I see, so she’s taking advantage of the limit on the number of people to persuade her…… However, I wonder what this feeling is? I kinda feel like the reason why Alice is trying to convince Kuro isn’t simply because she’s feeling embarrassed.

In response to Alice, Kuro blankly looked and answered.

[Why don’t we just take turns then?]

[……That is, well, true…… but then, Kaito-san would have to go twice……]

[I don’t really mind though?]

[Kuhh…… Errr, there’s that, you know. We take too much time here and it would be late.]

[This space is time-shifted, so it’s alright.]

[……You’re right.]

The content of the conversation she had with me before was explained just as it was to Kuro, but hearing Kuro’s response, Alice looked up at the sky with a somewhat resigned expression on her face. Seriously though, I wonder why she was trying to stubbornly guide us to the Family Path? In the first place, Alice originally should have wanted to go with me to this place so she improved…… Unnn?

[Hey, Alice.]

[Ahh, I have a bad feeling about this? W- What is it?]

[Have you also been improving this Trick House since that time with Shiro-san?]

[……I did.]

[Does that include the Couple Path?]

[…………That, I did.]

Now I know why this guy was so eager to lead us to the Family Path! Alice improved the Trick House’s Couple Path. And it should have been made with the assumption that she would go here with me.

In the end, it’s highly likely that this Couple Path has been improved based on “couple-like acts that Alice wants to do with me”. That’s why she was so embarrassed……

[W- What!? What’s with those pleased-looking eyes!? If you’re going to renovate a product, it should reflect one’s personal taste, shouldn’t it!!!?]

Alice shouted with a blush on her face, but of course, she just looked so adorable that I couldn’t help but smile.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Don’t give up!!! I know I’ve said this back when you suddenly snuck that “Drinking with Illness-san” chapter over there, but if you’ve come this far, stick with it until the end!!! Also, from the look of things, it feels like they could go around until Kaito gets hungry, but I have a bad feeling that that just abolished the time limit……]
