The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

On the right side of the cave, there is an exit through a corridor that extends outwards, just like the one before.

Saten Ruiko seemed not to see the stone coffin at all, her eyes gleaming as she stared at the boxes.

"Huh? Could it be... the legendary treasure?"

As she said this, Saten Ruiko released her hand from Inoue Eika's arm and walked eagerly toward the wooden box.

Chapter 145 The Date is Underway

Seeing Saten Ruiko place her hand on the button above the front edge of the box, Inoue Eika suddenly had a bad feeling.

This is a haunted house, after all!

How could there be such a luxury as a treasure?

Click!

Saten Ruiko yanked open the lid of the box, but what appeared before her eyes was not the dazzling golden light she had imagined.

Scrub, scrub, scrub...

It sounded like something was rubbing together.

"Wow! What is this?! It's disgusting!"

Saten Ruiko screamed and retreated to Inoue Eika's side with an extremely pale face.

"What's wrong, Ruiko?"

"Insects, insects, insects, insects! How disgusting! So many insects!"

boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly, all the boxes surrounding the stone coffin opened automatically with a bang.

Then came an even more intense series of friction sounds.

The box that Saten Ruiko had just opened was now filled with countless fingernail-sized multi-legged insects, which were gathering at a considerable speed in the direction where Inoue Hideka and Saten Ruiko were located.

Buzzing! Buzzing!

This sound is produced by friction between objects of considerable weight.

Before Inoue Hideka could react, the giant stone coffin in the center opened automatically.

As the lid of the stone coffin moved backward, a large amount of blue smoke emerged from the gaps in the coffin and rose into the air.

On the side wall of the stone coffin, a pale, bloodless, slender hand appeared.

"What should we do, Yinghua?"

Saten Ruiko seemed to have forgotten that this was a haunted house. She was startled by the sudden appearance of insects, and then saw such a realistic scene. Now she was terrified.

"What do we do... Run!"

Inoue Eika shouted and, before those disgusting insects could crawl onto his feet, grabbed Saten Ruiko's hand and ran towards the exit on the right side of the cave.

"Huh...ha..."

Standing outside the exit of the haunted house, Saten Ruiko and Inoue Eika were both panting heavily.

During the run, they also saw a girl who had died in the bathroom, her body swollen from being soaked in water, and a mummy wrapped in bandages, among other things.

She knew they were all fakes, but the constant swiping sounds behind her only intensified Saten Ruiko's fear.

Saten Ruiko ran all the way, and her stamina was not bad. She didn't stop for a moment and ran all the way.

"Are you satisfied now? It seems this amusement park not only hasn't given up on operating the haunted house, but has even added some new attractions!"

Inoue Hideka looked at the still-shaken Saten Ruiko with a mocking expression.

This time, it was Inoue Hideka's turn to tease Saten Ruiko.

"Ah! Yinghua! Didn't you promise to protect me? You were faster than me just now!"

"Hey? I'm innocent! I ran ahead of you because I wanted to pull you along!"

"Hmph! I don't care! It's all Yinghua's fault!"

"Um... how about we go play again?"

"I can't help it," Inoue Hideka said helplessly.

"Ugh! No way, I don't want to experience that kind of perverse pleasure again! So, next up is... the roller coaster! Let's go! There's a really long line for this one!"

As soon as Saten Ruiko mentioned playing, she instantly revived, shouting with boundless energy as she grabbed Inoue Eika and ran towards the roller coaster.

Roller coaster, also known as a roller coaster.

A type of amusement ride, also commonly found in amusement parks and theme parks. Although thrilling and scary, it is generally very safe.

Roller coasters are very popular among children, teenagers, and young adults. The thrill of high-speed travel, yet safe and exciting, fascinates many people.

Inoue Hideka first encountered roller coasters on a screen.

At the time, Inoue Hideka was still young. Influenced by the perennial elementary school student, Inoue Hideka always felt that the place where the roller coaster appeared was the crime scene.

Of course, the reality is that places with perpetual elementary school students are places that attract crime.

"Ah~~ So many people! Yinghua~~"

Looking at the sea of ​​heads in front of her, Saten Ruiko let out a dejected shout.

"How about we go do something else first?"

"No! I'll wait here. Yinghua, go buy lunch. We'll be there soon after we finish eating!"

"Forehead……"

How persistent you are!

"Okay! What would you like to eat?"

Looking at Saten Ruiko's stubborn face, Inoue Hideka sighed helplessly.

"I don't care about anything else, the important thing is that it's easy to eat!"

------------

I went quite a distance to buy the convenient boxed lunch that Inoue Hideka thought was easy to eat, and I also bought two bottles of mineral water.

When Inoue Hideka returned to Saten Ruiko's side, the group had indeed shortened considerably.

"Tears, you go eat first, I'll wait in line!"

Inoue Hideka handed Saten Ruiko her lunchbox, stood in front of her, and took her place.

"Oh! Okay! Hehe~~ I'll come back and take Yinghua's place after I finish eating."

Saten Ruiko felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Inoue Eika considerately telling her to go eat first, and said with a smile.

As the group moved forward slowly, out of boredom, Inoue Eika took out her phone and started snapping pictures of Saten Ruiko, who was eating on a bench not far away.

Noticing that Inoue Eika was taking a picture of her, Saten Ruiko winked at Inoue Eika and then flashed a bright smile towards the phone.

Two seconds later, he closed one eye, made a scissor shape with his right hand and placed it over his eye, then revealed a smiling face.

Then, carrying the lunchbox she was eating, she ran to Inoue Hideka's side, leaned her head against Inoue Hideka's shoulder, placed the lunchbox in front of her, and said to Inoue Hideka:

"I want to take a picture with Yinghua. It's a very memorable thing to queue up for a meal!"

"Wait a moment, let me adjust the camera."

Click!

Click!

They posed in various ways and took many photos together.

until……

"Um... I'm sorry to bother you, but the group has already gone quite far ahead, and the people behind me keep urging me on. You see..."

The guy behind her, who seemed to be with his girlfriend, said apologetically to Inoue Hideka.

"Ah...sorry, sorry! I was so happy that I forgot I was in line."

------------

Around 7 p.m., Inoue Hideka and Saten Ruiko boarded a cabin on the Ferris wheel.

Because most of the afternoon was spent queuing, in the end we only got to ride the roller coaster, the log flume, and the pendulum ride.

After dinner, at Inoue Hideka's suggestion, the two went to the Ferris wheel.

Only Inoue Eika and Saten Ruiko were in the cockpit. As the cockpit slowly rose into the air, the night view of Academy City came into full view of the two of them.

The flashing neon lights illuminated the night sky of Academy City, and the shadows of the towering buildings contrasted with the bright streetlights on both sides of the street.

The Academy City, shrouded in an atmosphere of science, was now imbued with an extraordinary romantic aura in the eyes of Inoue Eika and Saten Ruiko.

"Yinghua, I'm so happy today!"

Saten Ruiko sat next to Inoue Eika, holding Inoue Eika's left arm with both hands, resting her head on Inoue Eika's shoulder, and whispered.

"Looks like I did pretty well today! Well then, I'm going to collect what Ruiko owed me yesterday!"

"Well……"

Before Saten Ruiko could speak, she felt something occupy her mouth.

After realizing what was happening, Saten Ruiko no longer passively accepted the invasion.

She has a lively and active personality, and she usually takes the lead in whatever happens.

How could Inoue Hideka possibly maintain the initiative indefinitely?

He stuck out his tongue and it intertwined with Inoue Hideka's.

"Well……"

Inoue Eika was somewhat surprised by Saten Ruiko's actions, but before she could retaliate, she caught a glimpse of a white light shining on the rooftop of a building in the distance.

As the white light flashed, Inoue Hideka felt a violent fluctuation coming from the direction of the white light.

Is it a magician... or a spirit weapon, or perhaps a magic circle?

That's right, it's Oma Ansaki!
