My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Just to be on the safe side, let's pass on it.

"If you can only make a round trip on the weekend, you should definitely choose the nearest one. Are you interested in historical sites and cultural relics? There's a Ruri Shrine in the suburbs that's very effective, but the red and white shrine maidens with the offering box at the entrance are a bit annoying. You need to give them 10 yen to get a good look from them. By the way, their specialty mushroom soup is delicious. After you finish drinking it, you can see the bowl talking to you, and it even has subtitles."

I've heard of Ruri Shrine; its antique decor is quite stylish. It would be a good place for architecture majors to visit, maybe even enough to write a couple of papers. But for kids, forget it. Also, you seem to have mushroom poisoning; pass on that.

"How about we wait a bit longer? The very famous Suiryukei Land is opening a branch here next month."

Suiryukei Paradise... It seems to have high ratings, but unfortunately it's not open to minors, so I have to pass on that.

It seems that while the internet is powerful, it still has its limits. These answers are either unreliable or inappropriate.

Isn't there a suitable playground for two five-year-old children?

Feeling inexplicably irritated, Li Wei browsed the web, scrolling down the page. Just as he was about to turn the page, he saw an inconspicuous reply:

"Um, liweitongxue... no, I mean, you passing tourists, how about considering Amagi Glory Amusement Park? My parents took me there last month, it was really fun."

"Amagi Radiant Amusement Park? Never heard of it, it doesn't seem to be very well-known."

Li Wei then searched online to learn more about its development history, entertainment programs, equipment maintenance, business activities, and complaint information.

Half an hour later.

"Oh, oh?! It looks pretty good."

After careful consideration, Li Wei decided to choose this place for his weekend outing.

Chapter 13 What is the meaning of life?

After deciding on the destination, of course, we couldn't just end it there.

No matter how precocious they are, they are still just children at heart, and it's impossible for them to be without an adult accompanying them. Ryougi's parents wouldn't feel at ease either.

So in the end, we still needed Hiratsuka-nee's help.

"Hello~ Hiratsuka-nee? Yes, it's me, Li Wei."

Yes, of course I'm very sensible. Don't you believe me?

No, no, no, Marikawa-nee hasn't been sneaking into the kindergarten to ambush me lately, so there's no need to teach her a lesson... Right, ever since the last time I got stuck on the wall because my breasts were too big and was scolded by Fujibayashi-sensei, Marikawa-nee hasn't dared to come again.

Is Saeko here too? Hmm~ I missed you too, but I'm not looking for you this time. Can I return the phone to Hiratsuka-nee? Okay, Hiratsuka-nee, it's like this, I'm planning this and that this weekend, and then that and that…

Is that okay? Oh, thank you so much, Hiratsuka-nee! I love you so much!

Very smooth.

In this way, the final hurdle of the plan was successfully resolved, and all that remained were some routine preparatory work.

Amagi Brilliant Park is about an hour's drive from the kindergarten. If Hiratsuka-san were to ride her motorcycle, it would probably only take her twenty minutes.

"I guess we should just take a taxi. It's more expensive, but taking too many of Hiratsuka-nee's taxis will shorten my lifespan."

While thinking this, Li Wei continued working on his tasks without delay.

First, I went to the bank ATM to withdraw enough cash. Then I bought a new outfit and hat, and charged my phone, power bank, and smartwatch. Next, I packed enough drinks, food, and an umbrella in my backpack. Finally, I carried at least three child abduction alarms with me to ensure that if a perverted woman appeared, I could quickly call the police to blast her to smithereens.

Finally, Li Wei privately messaged that inconspicuous account on the travel forum. After the conversation, he fully understood the amusement park's signature attractions, made thorough plans, and was prepared to deal with any changes.

They spent a few pleasant days like this until the weekend. As agreed beforehand, Ryougi met up at the kindergarten, waited for Hiratsuka to pick them up, and then took a taxi to the amusement park. The first step of the operation was a pleasant success.

However, things didn't go as planned. The plan was perfect, but unfortunately, it failed at the very first step.

It was Saturday morning, sunny and pleasant, perfect for outdoor activities. Li Wei and his group, numbered one, two, three… four people in total, were standing in front of the Glorious Amusement Park in Gancheng.

Leading the group was still the imposing and dignified super high school beauty, Hiratsuka Shizuka, followed by Li Wei, whose face was filled with the deepest sorrow and despair.

And the atmosphere between Ryougi Shiki and Saeko Busujima was exceptionally tense, even bordering on hostile.

I'm so stupid, really.

It's easy to understand if you think about it for a moment. Normally, weekends are for practicing martial arts at Hiratsuka-nee's house and having fun sparring with Saeko. Now that he and Hiratsuka-nee are here, how could he possibly leave Saeko alone at home?

It will inevitably come with mouth and teeth problems!

Therefore, when Hiratsuka's motorcycle stopped at the kindergarten gate, and Ryougi and Saeko's eyes met, Li Wei suddenly felt the same way he did with Mr. Merlin from a while ago.

What do you think is the meaning of life?

"Ryougi, her name is Saeko Busujima, she's a friend I made recently."

In any case, as a gentleman and the initiator of the event, Li Weiqiang mustered his spirits and introduced, "Saeko, this is Ryougi, today... today you call him Ryougi Shiki, and he is also my friend."

Although they used the word "friends" when introducing themselves, neither of them was stupid; they could tell that the other person and the boy had more than just ordinary friends.

They understood each other quite well after just one exchange of glances.

"Cold and arrogant." ×2

"Has violent tendencies." ×2

"Li Wei's childhood sweetheart." ×2

"She has the demeanor of a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman)." ×2

"He's fought Li Wei at least ten times in single combat." ×2

"He enjoys using controlled knives to cut people up and leave them hanging." ×2

"Does this guy's stats overlap with mine?" ×2

From the moment they got into the taxi, the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense. Sitting between them, Li Wei kept trying to signal to Hiratsuka-nee in the passenger seat with his eyes for help, but to no avail; she showed no intention of offering any assistance.

Her eyes seemed to say, "Take care of your own problems. I skipped class and tutoring this weekend just to see this!"

Hiratsuka-nee, you're so mean!

Will the one who started this have no descendants?

I curse you to never find a boyfriend!

The somber atmosphere persisted until we arrived at our destination. The driver, unable to bear the oppressive feeling any longer, grabbed a small amount of money without caring whether it was enough, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Li Wei broke the silence:

"Hey, it's the weekend, let's liven things up a bit~"

"..."×2

"The amusement park looks like so much fun! Can I be your guide?"

"..."×2

"The ice cream here is really unique. How about I buy a few servings for everyone to try?"

"..."×2

"It's only our first meeting, there's no need for things to be so unpleasant..."

"..."×2

Although Li Wei tried to ease the tension, it seemed that no one was particularly receptive.

"Speaking of which, Avi, you only asked me out to play at first, right?" Ryougi said something that was indeed correct, but it was very stressful.

"That's right, but we're all just kids, so I asked Hiratsuka-nee for help..."

“I can totally understand Hiratsuka-san, but did you invite her?” Ryougi turned her attention to Saeko Busujima, her tone not very satisfied.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?"

Saeko, the next heir to the Busujima family, was not one to be a nice guy. She immediately retorted sharply, "Can't Shizuka bring me along? Or is Avi yours?"

"Avi? That's quite an intimate way to address him."

"What do you mean by calling me Ryougi Shiki today? And you'll change your name again tomorrow? Are you suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

"I have no interest in dealing with people whose minds are full of violence."

"Really? Same here~"

Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle.

The two beautiful girls stared at each other, their unseen gazes like high-voltage electricity, terrifying to behold.

The inconspicuous little boy who had suddenly passed by was startled and burrowed into Li Wei's arms, almost bursting into tears.

"Li Wei, they're so scary!"

Li Wei's perfectly planned trip began in this relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Chapter 14 Cheng-ge is silently watching you.

After Li Wei and his group bought their tickets and entered the amusement park without any bloody or violent incidents like drawing knives and slashing each other, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.

With gratitude to the Master above, I thank Heaven and Earth.

Fortunately, both Ryougi and Saeko are well-mannered children. Their mutual dislike is currently limited to verbal exchanges and has not yet escalated to the point of drawing their machetes, attacking each other, and then taking Li Wei on a nice boat.

Even if there were any unexpected events, Hiratsuka-nee would be able to effectively suppress both sides and resolve everything... probably?

In short, the atmosphere among the five people remained oppressive, and even though Li Wei wanted to change the situation, he unfortunately couldn't.

Dr. Bian is right, there are limits to human potential.

As Li Wei remarked this, he bought five ice creams from a snack vendor by the roadside and shared them with everyone.

Actually, we came in groups of a few at first... never mind, it's not important.

Are you happy, you little rascal?

The voice of Mr. Merlin echoed in my mind!

[Bringing four girls out at once is a tough business, isn't it? You must be wondering how to handle it, right?]

Although the number of girls was miscounted, it doesn't matter. Could it be that Mr. Merlin is going to give me some advice?

[Figure it out yourself! If you can bring four girls out to play, you need to have the corresponding problem-solving skills, otherwise you'll only end up in a very embarrassing situation.]

So, Mr. Merlin, why are you just watching? Are you here to watch the show too?

[You've got yourself into trouble with this woman; deal with her yourself. The last person who messed up their relationships ruined Britain. Keep causing trouble, I'll be watching you closely.]

For the first time in his life, Li Wei felt the urge to kill.

……

Welcome to Amagi Brilliant Park!

As I found online, this place called Amagi Radiant Park is quite large and has complete entertainment facilities, but the number of visitors is not very large, which is just about the right balance.

It means that the attractions won't be closed because there aren't enough people to fill them all, nor will they be closed because there are too many people, resulting in long queues and long wait times for each attraction.

It seems the internet is still quite useful.

Li Wei felt a deep sense of gratitude towards the inconspicuous account that had helped him on the forum.

"Wait a moment."

"Hey—Li Wei, what happened?"

The unassuming little girl paused for a moment, then saw Li Wei reach out, wipe the ice cream stuck to the corner of her mouth, and then lick it clean.

"Okay, it's clean now, let's continue."

Having sorted everything out and satisfied his obsessive-compulsive tendencies, Li Wei, as the initiator of this activity, engaged in lively negotiations with the tour guide.

Surprisingly, after learning that the group of teenagers were mostly kindergarten children, the amusement park actually sent young girls of the same age as their tour guides. It's hard to know whether to praise their deep talent pool or condemn their use of child labor.

"The environment here is clearly very nice, and the location isn't exactly remote, but there don't seem to be many tourists," Li Wei asked curiously. "Will the amusement park be able to break even like this?"

"Fortunately, the policies provided us with a lot of help when we moved here, and the prices of entertainment facilities are also quite affordable."

With long flaxen hair, and as unsmiling and aloof as Ryougi, the young tour guide named Sento Isuzu calmly answered, pointing into the distance: "For example, that roller coaster was sold or given away recently. It's almost brand new but didn't cost much. You just need to pay attention to its daily maintenance."

"I see. Aren't there any hidden dangers or anything if it's so cheap?"

The boy had recently seen a news report about an accident at a roller coaster in the neighboring city of Mikasa, where a girl had used a steel wire installed in the tunnel to remove her cheating boyfriend, Liu Yang Kui Shou.

That's terrifying, bro.

“After inspection, there are no problems.” Sento Isuzu shook her head, her flaxen hair swaying in the wind, the ends of which gently brushed against the boy’s cheek, making him feel a little itchy. “They just told us when they delivered it that we must pay attention to the installation of the tunnel and guardrails. Last time, someone used this roller coaster in Beika City to take down her cheating boyfriend, Rokuyo Kui-shou.”
