My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Five times! Five times!

"How was it? Pretty exciting, huh?"

Sento Isuzu walked out of the Ferris wheel with a blank expression. It was clear that although her face was expressionless, her legs were actually weak.

Are you alright?

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"You don't look like you're used to it."

Dongfang Bai sighed softly. He looked at Sento Isuzu in front of him, her face pale and bloodless, her legs, clad in long stockings, trembling slightly.

This guy is actually afraid of this kind of thing... You really can't tell from his appearance.

Let me help you.

Dongfang Bai reached out his hand, a little afraid that the seemingly dull Sento Isuzu might lose her balance and fall to the ground.

There's definitely something wrong with this Ferris wheel, isn't there? Logically speaking, shouldn't Ferris wheels be something couples use to slowly savor the romantic time spent gazing at each other in the sky?

Why is this happening? This thing is even more intense than a roller coaster! Most couples who go on it will probably never be able to get off...

"However, is your purpose in having me experience these amusement facilities simply to get my opinion? If so, my opinion is that they are unacceptable, and I will never come to this amusement park a second time."

Dongfang Bai spoke with a dark face, because this awful place had shocked him so much that he felt he had vented all his complaints for the month here.

"..."

Sento Isuzu fell silent, her head bowed, unsure of what to say. Dongfang Bai, however, did not offer any words of comfort.

If it's substandard, it's substandard. This amusement park is terrible, and even if the croquettes are delicious, it won't change anything.

"So, what do you think should be considered a passing grade?"

"At the very least, the children should be happy. You must have deliberately designed these amusement facilities this way, right? What was the purpose? Was it for novelty?"

"Yes……"

Sento Isuzu couldn't refute it; their amusement park rides were indeed designed to be novel and attractive, but they had completely failed to achieve their goal.

"If you want to make children happy, your business direction is wrong from the start. At the very least, you should make all the rides work properly, improve the environment, and do good advertising."

To be honest, Dongfang Bai felt that the worst thing about this amusement park was indeed the environment. It was overgrown with weeds, and the rides were not only old but also strange and bizarre.

"...!"

Sento Isuzu's eyes lit up. Dongfang Bai's proposal was a fairly standard one, and most people would have proposed the same approach. However, they didn't have enough funds and were afraid of failure.

The visitor count was already low; if it gets even lower, we're doomed.

"You have a mascot, right? If kids like it, you could make some merchandise, like Mofru dolls or stickers, to increase the budget."

Although the funding can't be increased much, it's still better than continuously losing money.

"Thank you."

Sento Isuzu thanked Dongfang Bai, expressing her sincere gratitude for his suggestion; at least the trip wasn't in vain.

"Alright, in that case, I'll head back now. I'm quite busy."

Dongfang Bai sighed. It seemed that today's date was finally coming to an end. Although it was tiring to accompany the somewhat naive girl, Sento Isuzu, to this amusement park, it was also quite novel.

This amusement park truly shocked his worldview.

"...Dongfang Bai."

"what happened?"

Do you believe in the existence of magic?

Sento Isuzu's eyes were as calm as a lake as she stared at Dongfang Bai, and no one knew what she was thinking.

magic?

Upon hearing this novel term for the first time, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud. What would this girl think if he said he had never seen magic, but had seen angels and demons?

"Yes, of course I believe you."

Sento Isuzu stared wide-eyed in surprise. She hadn't expected to receive this answer. In this modern society, it was unbelievable that someone would so easily say something like "I believe in the existence of magic."

"Would you like to witness real magic?"

Dongfang Bai frowned. What the girl said was quite interesting, but Dongfang Bai gradually became serious.

Maybe magic really does exist...?

Sento Isuzu slowly reached her right hand into her short skirt and started to pull something out. Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. This action looked familiar, no, it looked extremely familiar.

Click.

An ivory smoothbore musket was slowly pulled out from under her skirt. Sento Isuzu's expression did not change, as if it were a matter of course.

"~ You're probably thinking, 'He's pulling out a toy gun again,' right? But that's not it."

Sento Isuzu picked up the smoothbore musket with both hands with a click. Dongfang Bai examined it carefully and realized that this smoothbore musket was indeed neither a replica nor a folding gun.

It wasn't folded, yet it could be easily pulled out from under the skirt.

This means that...

"Is it a kind of magic similar to spatial storage?"

"……almost."

Sento Isuzu slowly shoved the smoothbore musket back in, a series of movements so fluid and graceful that it was hard to find fault with it.

"That's really impressive."

"You don't seem surprised. Do you still not believe me?"

Sento Isuzu gave Dongfang Bai a strange look. Normally, a person would be speechless in shock upon seeing such a stunning scene.

Because 'magic' has already broken through the common people's (Li Ma's) worldview.

No, I already believe it.

Although Dongfang Bai was a little surprised, his expression wasn't particularly surprised. He just opened his mouth slightly, seemingly unsure of what to say.

"Would you like to meet the manager of this amusement park?"

"So, you showed me this so-called magic just to lure me into seeing that manager, right?"

"……Yes."

Sento Isuzu obediently admitted it. She knew that Dongfang Bai had very strong observation skills and sharp eyes, and could easily figure out her thoughts and motives.

"Alright then, it's no problem to go there while I'm at it. Besides, the manager made the croquettes, right? I'm more interested in those."

Croquettes are really delicious, and Dongfang Bai really wants to learn how to make them. He wants to make them for Sagiri and Fairy when he gets back, as he's mischievously curious to see Fairy's shocked expression.

It has castles, tall buildings, gardens, pools, and even 'cannon emplacements'—it looks exactly like an ancient medieval castle, complete with defensive measures.

That gun emplacement looks like an old-fashioned mortar; it might actually be able to fire shells.

"This castle is quite luxurious..."

Dongfang Bai said something casually, then looked around curiously.

"We've arrived. Just get on the elevator."

Sento Isuzu led Dongfang Bai into the castle, eventually taking the elevator to the top floor. Golden sunlight streamed in through the glass, dazzling the room.

"This is it. The manager of this amusement park is over there."

Sento Isuzu stopped and looked up to indicate the front. Dongfang Bai glanced at it and saw the balcony at the top of the castle, with white wooden floors and a white columned railing.

The sunlight shines brightly here, and the balcony is furnished with a noble-style tea table and chairs. It must be a pleasure to drink tea here every day.

"!"

Dongfang Bai stared at a girl 573 meters ahead. She held her hands together in front of her, a very ladylike posture that showed she was very well-mannered.

However, her outfit was so unique that it was impossible to look away once you saw it.

A long dress with lace trim in white and light pink, with thin white straps hanging from the shoulders, decorated with red flowers.

The girl's long skirt was tied up with layers of pink ribbons, highlighting her slender, willow-like waist.

She wore a gentle smile that was as warm as a spring breeze. Her hands held a sheer veil, like a fairy's feathered robe, making her look ethereal.

Her long, golden hair reached her waist, and her deep blue eyes sparkled like jewels in the sunlight. Her appearance was exquisite and outstanding; she was a super beautiful girl. The phrase "as cute as a doll" seemed tailor-made for her.

"You are……?"

“Nice to meet you. My name is Latifa Floranza, the heiress of ‘Red Maple Paradise’ and the manager of this amusement park. Thank you very much for coming all this way today.”

The girl bowed slightly, looking very reserved. Dongfang Bai's first impression of her was that she was humble and polite, and seemed to be the kind of person who was very well-behaved and gentle.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Dongfang Bai."

She unconsciously became polite; this child was truly quite well-behaved, and her age looked about the same as a fairy's.

Dongfang Bai really liked this kind of well-behaved child; she was both cute and gentle. The discomfort he felt at the Amagi Radiant Amusement Park seemed to disappear the moment he saw the girl.

This is an absolute steal!

"Please sit down..."

Latifa invited Dongfang Bai to sit down and talk. She skillfully picked up the exquisitely patterned teapot, poured a cup of hot black tea into a trumpet-shaped teacup, and handed it to Dongfang Bai.

What's striking is her silver headdress, shaped like a silver cross and adorned with ruby-like ornaments, making it look like a crown.

Especially living in this Western-style castle, she's like a little princess in a fairy tale, quietly waiting for the prince to arrive.

"Mr. Dongfang Bai, do you believe in magic?"

"Believe."

"This world has magic... huh?"

Latifa was taken aback. Dongfang Bai's answer was somewhat unexpected. She had originally wanted to explain to him what magic was, but now she didn't need to.
