Chapter 354 – Chapter 354 New Vacation (2)
“Viola, did you have fun?”
“Yes! It was so much fun! It’s the best!!”
Viola was just as immersed in her joy as when she first left her village and came to her ship, and she was just beginning to explain the excitement she was harboring.
While I was relieved to see such a viola, I felt apologetic at the same time.
She always had to take care of me, but in the end, when I had her busy schedule in front of me, I would forget it again.
If it wasn’t for Armonia, she would have forgotten and put it off until later when she remembered.
‘I should say thank you to Armonia.’
When I was looking at the sky with such a grateful heart, the sky was turning orange before I knew it, letting me know that the day was coming to an end.
But that didn’t end there.
Today, I was returning after watching the parade, the finish of this amusement park.
And the parade was scheduled to be held after full sundown.
As the sun began to set, the amusement park stopped running thrill rides, but other slow rides continued to operate.
And among them, there was one that stood out the most.
I stretched out my finger toward the far sky.
“Let’s ride that one this time.”
The biggest, most conspicuous thing in the amusement park, and an existence that cannot be overlooked even if you want to ignore it.
It was a ferris wheel.
Everyone followed me and started talking about their impressions of the Ferris wheel.
“Wow… That too burns.”
“Are you bigger than our demon lord?”
“There are so many strange beings here.”
The three women quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the place and started looking at the ferris wheel with interest.
A ride that boasts a height that goes up as you get closer.
‘Hey… It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person like this.’
It was the first time for me to see the Ferris wheel in real life after seeing it in various media.
The line to ride the ferris wheel was increasing more and more, perhaps because it was the timing of the sun setting.
Everyone was queuing up to see the sunset and night view.
“I can’t ride like this. Hurry up and wait in line… Yes?”
It was the moment when I was about to take the lead and approach the end of the line.
At the end of the line… The figures I had seen were standing there.
“Now there is no way to use this place?”
“Yes… It should be easy to detect if it is high up.”
“Nana… No, heights are scary….”
The girl in the baseball cap who bombarded me with a torso slap and her children who chased after her.
The three little kids were talking incomprehensibly while looking up at the ferris wheel, paying no attention to us.
As I headed to the end of the line, I exchanged whispers with Armonia.
“Are those kids right?”
“That’s right.”
“What. Did you come to the amusement park only with the kids?”
Like the urgent behavior he showed earlier, it gave off the feeling that he had come without a guardian.
“What… It has nothing to do with me anyway.”
I muttered that while standing behind the children and started talking to Viola.
In fact, rather than having a conversation, it could be seen that he unilaterally accepted her pleasure.
Viola excitedly recited from the beginning what had happened to me today, as if I seemed to have no memory of it, even though she accompanied me today.
It was a time when I was smiling happily while seeing Viola’s smile.
The baseball cap girl whispered and opened her mouth.
“Hey… Where are you looking?”
“Uh!? Oh no… Just because foreigners are curious….”
“Heh, that’s stupid.”
“Bah, you look like an idiot….”
It was only then that I realized that the eyes of the children were heading towards us.
And among them, the guy who caught my eye the most was, of course, a boy.
‘The viola looks pretty, I guess.’
Despite the fact that the girl in the baseball cap was beside him, the boy’s gaze was not easily separated from Viola.
But Viola didn’t notice the eyes of the little ones, and she continued to excitedly tell me about what happened today.
As time passed while waiting in line, it was the turn of the little ones to ride.
Slowly, I started to worry about one thing.
‘Can we all ride in one car? If I can’t ride, how should I share….’
It was when we were thinking about the distribution of personnel, thinking about when our turn came.
I could hear the baseball cap girl and her staff arguing.
“Sorry, but no.”
“Uh!? Why!”
“You are too young. You cannot ride this balloon without a guardian.”
When you think about it, it was a natural result.
No matter how slow the ride, there was no way that only children could ride the ferris wheel that goes up to that high without a guardian.
The baseball cap girl began persuading him to continue despite her staff’s restraint.
“We must ride this one!”
“Well, what can I do? There are no rules…. Bring your parents. Considering how long you’ve been waiting, if you bring your parents, I’ll give you a ride right away, even if you don’t have to wait in line.”
“I mean we came by ourselves! Please!”
‘As expected, only the kids came.’
I roughly expected it, but it was the moment when it became clear that I had come without a guardian.
But it didn’t just end there.
What the baseball cap girl had said made the little ones even more embarrassed.
When the employee heard that he had come without a guardian, he was shocked and started to look at the children.
“What… ? So you guys came here by yourself without a guardian? What were you guys thinking? I can’t. Wait for now I will contact the information center right now and call the staff.”
“Yes!? That, not that!”
The bold words of the girl in the baseball cap made the situation worse.
‘There’s one line in front of me, so I’ll get on quickly.’
In the first place, I didn’t think like this with good or bad feelings for the little ones.
It was just that I wasn’t open-minded enough to feel pity for kids who had no relationship with me anyway.
It was while I was looking at the ferris wheel slowly descending while thinking so.
“Mr Suho….”
“Why? Viola? Do you want to ride fast?”
“Not that….”
As I looked at her, tilting her head, she whispered to me as she looked at her little ones with her pitying expression on her face.
“Those children… I’m sorry, but how about taking a ride with me?”
..
..
The girl with her long hair kindly cupped her hands on her navel and bowed her back as she politely opened her mouth.
“Thank you.”
“I’m glad I was able to ride.”
Viola responded with a smile to the long-haired girl.
The long-haired girl was wearing a blue dress and a light black vest.
With shiny black shoes and white socks… She had a completely opposite outfit and appearance to the baseball cap girl.
And the boy….
“Go… Thank you… Sister.”
Before she knew it, she began to call Viola her older sister.
But Viola looked at the little boy and gave her a smile instead.
“Whoops. I’m glad I could ride. I really wanted to ride too.”
“Ah… Eww… Yes….”
Because of her shyness, her little boy couldn’t see Viola’s face properly and only looked around her and hesitated.
And the girl in the baseball cap looking at the little boy pathetically….
“Ha… It’s stupid.”
“Bah, you idiot!”
Originally, these kids wouldn’t have been able to ride with me even if I asked the staff.
From an employee’s point of view, if a man who looks like someone else suddenly appears as the guardian of the children and takes them away, it could turn into a really big problem.
However, I was able to proceed without difficulty because of Viola’s request, not my request.
(I guess these kids really want to ride. How can I not?)
(Ah… I can’t. I’ll do it even if it doesn’t workhaha!)
The employee was properly bewitched by Viola and gave her a ride right away.
So, the three little ones, I and Viola rode in the same car like a family, and the rest of Armonia, Beatrice, and Lena boarded in the next car and watched the tour.
The Ferris wheel began to show the sunset and the amusement park at a glance as it moved slowly and went up at the same time.
Viola hurriedly got up and started looking out of her window.
“Wow, it’s really pretty….”
Viola began to observe her window with her enchanted eyes, feeling both excited and amazed at the same time.
Looking at such a viola, I felt sorry for her even as she smiled.
‘Hmm… I wanted to talk with Armonia alone, but it’s a pity.’
She wanted to tell her thank you to her.
Armonia was a person who completely changed my life.
Meeting Viola next to her was possible because Armonia was there, and it was all possible because she was able to create bonds with other women.
And, as a result, it was thanks to Armonia’s consideration that I made such good memories today.
I wanted to express my gratitude that I hadn’t been able to do in the past.
‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry…. It’s embarrassing to say otherwise….’
[If it’s hard to say, why don’t you record it separately and deliver it?]
‘Yeah, that would be nice too.’
I closed my eyes and said to myself.
‘… Don’t read it in my heart.’
[It was just an answer that came over the communication.]
‘It’s not a ship, is it? How did you hear that?’
[I emptied the ship, but I didn’t empty it without any countermeasures.]
Armonia, she said, was equipped with equipment that could perform her basic functions in case of an unexpected situation.
From communication equipment that can communicate with people belonging to the ship to emergency warp devices….
It wasn’t like the warp room on a ship, and it wasn’t a shared view, and it wasn’t possible to respond quickly, but he said he had brought the essentials.
‘You’re really thorough. Awesome.’
[Thank you for the compliment.]
However, when the field of conversation opened like this, it was not easy to open my mouth.
Viola continued to look out the window, her eyes focused on the increasingly dark night view, and the children sitting across from her took out some equipment and began to place it on her lap.
‘… What are those kids? Is it like a mysterious phenomenon detection meeting?’
[Even so, it’s amazing. Looking at the equipment, it seems that it is not at the level that children can handle….]
As Armonia said, the equipment that children handle was not just a toy level.
I was holding a distance meter with numbers coming and going, and even some kind of radar.
‘I guess that’s enough to get rid of ghosts, not just detect mysterious phenomena?’
Is it an illusion to look like the kids version of Ghostbusters?
As I looked at the children curiously, the baseball cap girl noticed my gaze and started whispering to the man.
“By the way… Is it okay if I show you this?”
“Ah… It will be fine… You don’t even know what this is anyway?”
“But to be able to make something like this… It’s really great.”
From the long-haired girl’s words, I could roughly guess that the machines were made by boys.
‘Are these devices made by boys? … No matter how you think about it, it’s strange.’
Yes, it is said that there is no such thing as impossible in the world, but since it has come this far, I wanted to know what those kids were doing even out of curiosity.
Viola just fell in love with the night view…. I looked at the children curiously and said to Armonia.
‘Armonia, is it still possible to see the temperament window?’
[Available. However, it takes time because it is an important function that uses Enel.]
‘Ah, that’s all right.’
If it took a long time unlike the simple ship, there was no reason to do it.
No matter how much the holiday is over, there is no reason to work in a place like this again.
However, Armonia did not pay attention to my words and spoke through communication.
[The only thing that takes time is that it is not real-time. And all I do is approve the use of Enel. Once approved, I will set the temperament window to open for Suho.]
‘… Okay.’
It didn’t seem like it would stop me anyway.
Before we knew it, the Ferris wheel we were riding on went up to the top.
The moment I climbed to the top, the girl in the baseball cap looked at me and suddenly started a snowball fight.
‘… What?’
It was a funny situation rather than angry.
Because of us, they were able to ride the ferris wheel and achieve their goals, but instead, they were showing hostility towards me.
‘What an absurd little boy…. Is it because it’s awkward to show?’
Rather than being angry, I understood it as an unspoken suggestion not to look at it.
I decided that no further arguing would do any good, so I turned her head and put my hand on Viola’s shoulder.
“What do you think? Pretty?”
“Yes! It’s the first time I’ve been this pretty.”
“….”
While I was looking out the window at Viola, having a friendly conversation with her, the baseball cap girl’s gaze continued.
In contrast, the other two kids were still paying attention to the machine….
‘That’s awful… What a funny guy. Ah! Then how about this?’
I smiled inwardly and looked out the window with Viola, then gently turned her head away.
“Yes? Mr. Suho?”
“Quiet… The kids will listen.”
“Yes? Huh… Chew up….”
I glanced at the girl in the baseball cap, quietly kissing Viola on the lips as she gazed at the night view.
“!?”
The girl showed a look of bewilderment that she hadn’t shown before, putting her hands over her mouth and starting to fidget.
‘A child is a child.’
I wanted to tease him by showing a more violent side, but I couldn’t do that in the yard with other kids.
I quietly kissed Viola, warming her up, then parting her lips.
“Pretty. Is not it?”
Haha… Yes. It’s really pretty.”
Viola, intoxicated by her kiss, began to look at the night view of the colorful colors that lit up the amusement park again.
I looked at the baseball cap girl again while holding the viola from behind.
“!?”
When our eyes met, the baseball cap girl immediately lowered her head in despair, not even thinking about engaging in a snowball fight this time.
He was consistent with a bold attitude, but the kid was still a kid.
‘This is interesting.’
The idea that I had won against the kid gave me confidence, and I observed the kids’ behavior again.
That was the moment.
[Now you will see the temperament window.]
‘Should I look at what they are doing?’
I started looking at the temperament window floating above the heads of the children.

The baseball cap girl is Kang Soo-ah. The calm girl with long hair is Shin Ji-soo.
I noticed one strange thing while looking at the temperament window.
‘What is that?’
[What’s your problem?]
‘Yes? Armonia, can’t you see?’
[I am using only basic communication equipment, so I cannot see Suho.]
I understood right away and started explaining the situation now.
‘There are two girls. What substance called ether is in it? What is that?’
[… Did you say ether?]
‘Yes. And above all….’
I said over the radio while watching the little boy who was working hard on the machine.
‘… Wouldn’t it be an error not to see his temperament window?’
No matter how much I looked at the boy’s head, I couldn’t see the temperament window I wanted.
