"I just wanted to try them on, so I brought them here." Hachiman Kailing turned around, leaned against the wall, and crossed her arms. "I'm no longer involved in band activities, so I want to find something to do. I don't have many opportunities to wear roller skates at home, and it would be a shame to leave them alone." Her turquoise eyes stared at Shirakawa Haru.

"I understand." Shirakawa Haru said.

There was a knock on the door, and Hachiman Kailing felt the wall to open it. Shirakawa Haru passed Hachiman Kailing, and now his movements were much faster than hers. He opened the door and it was the manager of the amusement park.

The manager, dressed in a suit and tie, peered into the staff room and said to Shirakawa Haru, "Excuse me, who are you... Isn't Ms. Hachiman here?"

"Yes." A voice came from behind the door.

The manager handed a basket filled with fresh flowers to Hachiman Kailing and left the office. Shirakawa Haru and Hachiman Kailing walked out with him.

Hachiman Kailing started working.

Because few people come out wearing roller skates without knowing how to skate, Hachiman Kailing attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared in the square of the amusement park, not to mention that she was carrying a flower basket in her hand.

Someone spotted her as a newly hired florist at a Chiba Prefecture amusement park and immediately approached her to buy a bouquet. After all, a girl as beautiful as Hachiman Kairin is rare, and regardless of gender, most flower buyers, regardless of sex, were motivated by the desire to please the beauty before them. In today's world, beauty is a valuable asset. Perhaps the amusement park owner, drawn to Hachiman Kairin's attractive appearance and the potential it would bring him, had given her an easy pass to the interview.

However, it was beyond many people's expectations. After selling the flowers, Hachiman Kailing seemed to have no service spirit at all. She did not communicate much with the customers, but simply walked away from these people who had ulterior motives for her.

The flowers were selling quickly. Hachiman Kailing was still lumbering along.

On the way to the small park in the park, every time Hachiman Kailing passed by a crowd, someone would buy a bouquet of flowers from her. The fewer people there were, the more couples would buy bouquets from her.

"There are quite a lot of couples here." Hachiman Hailing sat on a park bench, put down the flower basket slung over her forearm, and twisted her ankle. "No wonder most of the flower bouquets in the basket are roses."

"How many are left unsold?" Baichuan Qing glanced at the sky.

"There are very few left, only about ten bouquets." Hachiman Kailing picked up the bouquet of roses with her hands. On the plastic paper wrapping the bouquet was written: Imagine a rose of the future.

"Are your feet tired?" Shirakawa Haru suddenly looked at Hachiman Kailing's calves.

"Not very tired."

As Hachiman Kailing spoke, a fountain gushed out, the gurgling sound of water drowning out her voice. Shirakawa Haru moved to the side of the bench and placed a bottle of milk jelly drink between herself and Hachiman Kailing.

This time, Hachiman Kailing didn't say anything to Shirakawa Haru. She just picked up the drink, inserted the straw, and started drinking.

Small droplets of water sprayed from the fountain, shattering into even finer droplets upon hitting the surface. The wind stirred the clouds above, burning them as they passed over the sun. Golden flames shot out diagonally, shooting upwards towards the fountain. Before Shirakawa Haru and Hachiman Kairin, a small, faint, trembling rainbow of golden light rose.

"Ms. Hachiman, did you see that?" Shirakawa Haru asked. He was asking about the rainbow, thinking he was quite lucky. At this time and in this location, the fountain sprayed water to form mist, and the water droplets in the mist refracted the sunlight to form a rainbow.

To be able to meet these requirements, one must say that they are extremely lucky.

"I see a faint rainbow." Hachiman Kailing said, loosening the straw that she had bitten flat, "I'm so lucky." After drinking the milk jelly drink, Hachiman Kailing stood up again and prepared to sell all the remaining bouquets in the basket.

"Why don't you learn how to roller skate first?" Bai Chuanqing said in front of her

"Okay." Hachiman Kailing was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She was already exhausted. Wearing roller skates without knowing how to roll was simply asking for trouble. She had originally wanted to change shoes mid-sentence, but now she was a short distance from the staff room, and running back to change shoes was clearly not worth the effort. "Thank you, Shirakawa-kun."

"After all, I'm a fan of Ms. Hachiman." Shirakawa Haru took the flower basket from Hachiman Kailing and placed it on the bench. "As a fan, I should be happy to be able to do something for my idol."

"Thank you, Shirakawa-kun." In front of Shirakawa Haru, Hachiman Kailing brushed her messy hair behind her ears against the wind. She rarely did this action before, but in front of Shirakawa Haru, when the hair on her forehead covered her eyes, leaving a very thin black line in the center of the turquoise, she always subconsciously took care of her hair.

Her movements were as precise and capable as she was, revealing a sense of cleverness.

"Try to move forward a few steps. Remember to push off the ground." Shirakawa Haru came to Hachiman Kailing's side. "Don't be afraid, and don't lift your feet. If you fall, I will catch you."

"I'll try." Hachiman Kailing started to exert force with her right foot, and the pulley started to turn. When she thought of falling to the ground yesterday, she hesitated and wanted to lift her foot.

"Don't lift your feet, take your time." Shirakawa Haru encouraged. He felt that Hachiman Kailing must have fallen quite hard yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have such a big reaction. When he put her shoes on and the fabric on her knees tightened, he could feel her calves tremble for a moment.

"I will support you, so don't worry." Shirakawa Haru has been comforting and encouraging Hachiman Kailing.

The floor of the small park was paved with neatly arranged tiles, which provided a certain amount of friction, so that Hachiman Kailing would not be unable to exert her strength; nor were there many ups and downs that would cause her to lose control of her roller skates and fall.

"I seem to have a better understanding of how to use roller skates." With the help and protection of Shirakawa Haru, Yawata Kailing's movements gradually became bolder. She skated faster and faster, and she didn't notice that she had left Shirakawa Haru behind and rushed out of the small park.

There is an asphalt road in front. This amusement park repairs the road surface every three years. This year happens to be the third year of a new cycle, and the owner still has time to repair the road surface, which looks very bumpy.

Oh no! How did I slide out of the park? Is Shirakawa-kun behind me? Hachiman Hailing recalled the scene when she fell to the ground yesterday. She looked back anxiously, wanting to make sure if Shirakawa Haru was behind her, but it was this action that made her completely unable to maintain her already shaky balance, and she fell!

Hachiman Kailing closed her eyes, and the bangs blown down from her forehead fluttered randomly on her face. Her expression was very calm and her emotions were very cool.

I hope the fall wasn't too bad. I didn't bring any Band-Aids with me today.

A gust of wind blew, and Hachiman Kairin opened her eyes, only to find everything completely dark. She thought she might have fallen, but the pain wouldn't surface until a second or two later. She breathed softly, feeling a warmth in her body. She closed her eyes, then opened them again, brushing back her stray hair. Hers was about to meet Shirakawa Haru's expressionless face... Though expressionless, those enchanting fox eyes were filled with a passionate warmth, as if tears were overflowing, like a dream spilling into reality, flooding everywhere.

"Are you okay, Miss Hachiman?" Shirakawa Haru released his arms that were hugging Hachiman Kailing's waist and supporting her back.

In that situation just now, there was no time to think about whether it was offensive or not. If I hadn't reacted in time and made a quick judgment, Miss Hachiman would have fallen to the ground with scratches on her arms and legs.

Maybe even a beautiful face will have notes that are disharmony in the music.

"It's okay..." Hachiman Kailing pursed her lips and shook her head, "Thank you, Shirakawa-kun."

She gently pushed Shirakawa Haru away and slowly maintained her balance.

"I already know how to roller skate," she said. "Just now, I didn't pay attention and skated out of the small park. I haven't adapted to the bumpy asphalt road yet, so I fell."

"Take your time, there's no rush." Shirakawa Haru took the flower basket back from the bench and handed it to Hachiman Kailing, "I'm by your side, don't be afraid of falling. I won't let you fall."

"Well, I believe in Shirakawa-kun." Looking at Shirakawa Haru's bright eyes, in the gradually cooling wind, Hachiman Kailing brushed the hair hanging on her forehead behind her ears.

After learning how to roller skate, Hachiman Kailing found it much easier to move around. The sound of roller skates kept ringing and stopping, which meant that couples came to her to buy bouquets of flowers.

The sun gradually set, and dazzling colors rose in the eyes of the two. Shirakawa Haru stared blankly at the green mountains in the distance. Hachiman Kailing looked at Shirakawa Haru and could see the entire burning sky and the slowly turning Ferris wheel not far away from him.

"Thank you, Shirakawa-kun." Hachiman Kailing said.

"That's what we agreed on." Shirakawa Haru turned his head to look at Hachiman Kailing, then continued to look at the sky, and then turned his attention to the Ferris wheel.

"Are all the flowers sold out?" asked Shirakawa Haru.

"One more bouquet is missing." Hachiman Kailing looked at the flower basket. In the center of the basket lay a single rose bouquet. A rose bouquet consists of two roses, one large and one small.

"Can't they be sold out?" asked Shirakawa Haru.

"Maybe they can't sell out." Hachiman Kailing moved the petals on the roses with her hands. "At the beginning, I didn't know how to roller skate, so my movements were a bit slow. Otherwise, we would definitely sell out."

"I'll buy the last bouquet of flowers." Shirakawa Haru took out money and gave it to Hachiman Kailing, then took out the bouquet of flowers from the basket and looked at it for a while.

"If Shirakawa-kun wants it, it's okay to give it to you directly." said Hachiman Kailing.

"That's different," he said.

Shirakawa Haru handed the bouquet to Hachiman Kailing: "My first day of part-time work has ended successfully."

"Thank...thank you?" Hachiman Kailing was stunned for several seconds without any response. "Thank you, Shirakawa-kun, thank you for giving me flowers."

"Thank you for protecting me today." Hachiman Kailing hugged the bouquet.

Chapter 140: Ferris Wheel: Accept This Bouquet of Roses

"Miss Hachiman, don't you want this bouquet of flowers?" Shirakawa Haru stared at Hachiman Kairin's face. He didn't know why she returned the flowers to him. He wanted to see what her emotions were, but was disappointed because Hachiman Kairin, like him, didn't show much expression. "This bouquet of flowers is obviously very beautiful."

"No," Hachiman Kailing said, "I just wanted to give you this bouquet of flowers as a thank you for protecting me." She placed her right hand on her knee, her expression unnatural, "I fell quite hard yesterday..."

"Does it still hurt?" Shirakawa Haru glanced at Hachiman Kailing's legs. The girl's long legs were slender and well-shaped. Although the specific lines could not be seen, the whiteness beneath her trouser legs was enough to arouse people's seductive reverie. It was breathtakingly beautiful. "Should we go back soon? The flowers are sold out, and the number of tourists is also decreasing. They should all go back."

"We'll just ride for a little while longer, then we'll go," Hachiman Kailing said. "I don't come to the amusement park very often. My parents took me here to ride the Ferris wheel when I was a kid, and then I got into bass guitar when I grew up. Whenever I have free time, I play it or join a band. So, although I'd like to visit the amusement park again, I never really have the chance."

At the end, Hachiman Kailing added, "This is also part of the reason why I applied for a part-time job at the amusement park."

In the sunset, the Ferris wheel with colorful lights gradually rises and falls. The small carriages tremble in the dim light. The colorful lights light up, and the Ferris wheel is lit up by colorful lights. It is as beautiful as a painting in the sunset.

Not far from the Ferris wheel was the edge of the amusement park. There, Shirakawa Haru saw a vast sea of autumn lilies, their blossoms always in full bloom, their fresh leaves and petals undulating in the wind, reaching from the ground to the sky.

"After you finish work, how about we go to the amusement park for a while?" Shirakawa Haru pulled out the amusement park tickets from his pocket. "I bought the wrong tickets. These are for two people. Do you want to come and play?"

"Let me think about it for a moment." Hachiman Kailing narrowed her eyes, trying to find a flaw in Shirakawa Haru's expression. She felt that their emotional relationship had changed a little today. Although not much, it was indeed closer. Shirakawa Haru bought a pair of tickets when entering the amusement park, which made her wonder if Shirakawa Haru's previous embrace of her waist and back was premeditated. "Of course, but I want to ask Shirakawa-kun a question: if I refuse Shirakawa-kun's invitation, what do you want to do with this pair of tickets?"

"Well...it's not too late now," Shirakawa Haru took out the two-person ticket and looked at it several times, "Of course, I'll go on each ride twice by myself."

He thought to himself: Since I bought a pair of tickets, I can't waste money. The tickets will be invalid after we leave the amusement park. If Hachiman Kailing goes back first, then I can have a good time alone.

"I understand." Hachiman Kailing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded for some reason. Since Shirakawa Haru said so, he probably didn't think anything else and was just being too suspicious. "Then let's go play later?"

The gloomy dusk fell completely from behind several dark shadows. Or rather, the dark sky began to fade from the corners of some huge buildings.

Hachiman Kailing stood up from the bench and returned to the staff room to change out of her roller skates, as she couldn't ride many amusement facilities in these shoes.

Along the way, Shirakawa Haru stayed by Hachiman Kailing's side to prevent her from falling again.

Many tools become instincts after you learn them, Hachiman Kailing thought. She opened her arms and felt the wind blowing against her face, feeling free.

The wheels of the roller skates spun quietly, crushing the pebbles on the road. Occasionally, when encountering a small pothole, they would jump over it lightly, like dancing.

The wound on my knee no longer hurts.

The wind filled with the fragrance of autumn flowers blew through the trousers and rubbed against them, like cotton candy or a piece of cool ice, which did not hurt when touched.

Perhaps it was just the small sense of accomplishment from learning to roller skate that diluted the slight pain caused by clumsiness.

This time, Hachiman Kailing did not let Shirakawa Haru enter the staff room. She changed her shoes awkwardly, tapped the ground with her toes, hung the flower basket in a conspicuous corner of the room, and then walked out of the staff room.

"Sorry for the long wait." Hachiman Kailing saw Shirakawa Haru squatting in front of a small flower bed fiddling with the flowers and plants, and then, as if not afraid of getting dirty, he picked up a strangely shaped stone and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Yeah." Baichuan Qing stood up, brushed off the dust on his hands and responded.

The amusement facilities in Chiba Amusement Park are relatively small in scale, but because the various facilities are often maintained and repaired, although they cannot bring tourists the most exciting experience, overall, it is still a very good tourist attraction.

Shirakawa Haru and Hachiman Kailing were experiencing the pendulum. They didn't say a word while playing this exciting amusement project, and their expressions were calm throughout the whole process.

There were noisy shouts all around, but in this environment, they were still chatting as usual.

"Shirakawa-kun, what are you thinking about?" asked Hachiman Kailing, holding the protective belts on her chest and shoulders.

"What about you, Miss Hachiman? What are you thinking about?" Shirakawa Haru turned his head to look at her. The pendulum rose to the highest point on one side and spun, then suddenly fell down. The strong wind pressure made it impossible for him to open his eyes. "I was wondering if my safety belt broke or the machine fell apart. Would I be thrown out and fall to the ground and die, turning into a pool of blood and flesh... I often think like this. Even if it should be very safe in theory, I will subconsciously try to imagine what I would encounter and what would happen if something went wrong."

"It's really scary, Shirakawa-kun's thoughts." Yawata Kailing looked at the ground getting closer and closer, and imagined the situation that Shirakawa Haru had described: a huge pendulum suddenly fell to the ground, and she was thrown high in the air, experiencing weightlessness. Would she scream? Perhaps, but she couldn't imagine herself screaming. Shirakawa-kun was also floating in the air. She would try to read Shirakawa Haru's eyes to see his current mood. A few seconds later, the two of them landed on the ground. She didn't think about the specific scene, which was chilling. "I was thinking about this thing just now."

"Does it feel strange?" Shirakawa Haru asked, "It's normal to have such thoughts, right? When people are too happy, some bad negative thoughts will suddenly appear in their minds to offset the positive emotions and maintain mental stability."

"I have the same thought. Does that mean I'm happy too?" Hachiman Kailing asked, "But I was just kicked out of the band."

"You should ask yourself about this kind of thing. There's no point asking others. Only you know how you're doing. Others' interpretations of you can't constitute even one ten-thousandth of you," said Shirakawa Haru.

The pendulum stopped and Shirakawa Haru unbuckled his seat belt with the help of the staff. He held up the amusement park ticket in his hand, which had several holes on it. These were the amusement facilities that he and Hachiman Kailing had already experienced.

Only the last Ferris wheel is left.

At four or five o'clock, in late summer, the sun in the clear sky is very clean, just like the eyes of a newborn baby discovering the world, a little surprised and very clean.

The two walked for a long time without seeing anyone else. Their shadows were the only ones on the ground. The tall buildings gleamed, and the blazing sunset danced from the glitter of one piece of steel to the next, illuminating a group of tiny models.

When Shirakawa Haru arrived in front of the Ferris wheel, he realized that all the pedestrians who had disappeared from the road just now had gathered here. Most of them, no, it should be said that all of them were lovers.

The entire amusement park seemed to be in a passionate love affair. People gathered together, and under the Ferris wheel were couples walking around, forming a sea of people in the wide area.

It seemed as if a gust of hot wind suddenly stirred up people's distant dreams.

"There are so many people, Shirakawa-kun?" Hachiman Kailing turned around and found that Shirakawa Haru had already run to the back of the long queue and lined up, so she followed him.

More than twenty minutes passed before it was their turn. Shirakawa Haru and Hachiman Kailing boarded the Ferris wheel's small carriage, which could only accommodate four people at most. The carriage slowly ascended, its exterior lights gleaming brilliantly in the setting sun.

Hachiman Kailing and Shirakawa Haru sat facing each other, their eyes meeting, and they leaned against the glass windows on either side, one on the left and one on the right, looking outside.

In their eyes, they were rising slowly, the clear figures on the ground became blurred, and the autumn flowers below were undulating like waves. The wind was blowing, but they could not feel or hear anything. The car was quiet, so quiet that there was only the sound of even breathing and the buzzing sound of the Ferris wheel.

"Hmm... the people above us seem to be kissing." If she kept the same posture, her neck would feel sore. Shirakawa Haru turned her head and saw a couple in the carriage opposite her, that is, behind Hachiman Kailing, hugging and kissing each other.

"The same goes for us below." Hachiman Kailing crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head, and glanced behind Shirakawa Haru with an expression as calm as water.

"Apart from us, it seems everyone else still riding the Ferris wheel at this hour is a couple." Shirakawa Haru looked up at the car further up. It was hard to see clearly, but judging from the figures, they were also a couple, leaning on each other. "This feeling is really interesting."

Shirakawa Haru thought, this Ferris wheel full of couples had a pair of oddballs sneaking in, herself and Hachiman Kailing. It was just a small incident, but as a way to entertain herself, it was more than enough.

"What does it feel like?" said Hachiman Kailing.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking that the entire Ferris wheel is probably full of couples right now, but we are not. We are fans and idols, friends, students and teachers. In short, our identities are different from others, and we have a sense of uniqueness." Shirakawa Haru said.

"Really?" Hachiman Kailing didn't expect Shirakawa Haru to think about such a boring thing. "I thought you were thinking about what would happen to us if the Ferris wheel fell apart."

"It's better not to think about that kind of thing when riding the Ferris wheel. After all, the Ferris wheel should give people a gentle and soft impression." Baichuan Qing said softly.

Besides, Miss Hachiman, if you think this way, other couples will be shocked when they find out, right?

They were sitting on the Ferris wheel happily and fantasizing about the future with the people around them, but they never imagined that a girl on the Ferris wheel was imagining that the Ferris wheel would fall apart.

"Look here, Miss Hachiman," said Shirakawa Haru.

At this time, a group of pigeons flew up from somewhere. In the dim twilight sky, they were snow-white, even shining, circling blindly, sometimes far away, sometimes near, flying round and round. They flew very fast, but without any sound, not a sound at all. They were so light and smooth that they seemed not to touch the air, but just floated in this space.

Hachiman Kailing turned her head and saw the group of pigeons. The pure white pigeons were so beautiful under the dim sky. When she saw the pigeons, her eyes were attracted to them and she couldn't move away.

"It's so beautiful." said Hachiman Kailing.
