Ch 18

Entering Amagi Brilliant Park I saw its state was declining more than I expect so I looked at Tiramy who was now holding a sigh showing an event the park was holding.

Looking at Tiramy I started to talk to him.

"Tiramy do you have a map of rides and sights that are still in use?" Shouta

"No, I don't but I can be your guide mii. It's not like we have any other visitors mii." Tiramy

"Thank you for your time then. Also, what happened to the park, when I was a kid it wasn't like this before?" Shouta

"Oh, you've been here before then welcome back to Amagi Brilliant Park I hope you enjoy your time mii. As for the park's current situation, it's thanks to poor management mii. Bills aren't being paid, rides aren't meeting safety standards, and paychecks are being delayed mii. Kid when you're older I recommend you find a job with good management mii." Tiramy

Hearing why the park was in such a state made me wonder why management hasn't changed yet when the park is in such a state.

As I was thinking about the bleak future of this once loved amusement park Tiramy continue to talk.

"Well with that all said I'm still working here and I won't quit my job even if they don't pay me mii. " Tiramy

Hearing him I'm quite shocked at his conviction about him working here and even Lucoa got instead in our talk seeing Tiramy so dead set working here.

Once Tiramy was finished talking I started to ask him a question that I felt I needed the answer to as I want to know why he's so dead set on working here.

"Tiramy, why are you dead set working here despite all the problems the park is facing?" Shouta

"Oh, it's because I'm serving the princess until the bitter end so I don't mind working for free, I'm fine with anything as long as she's happy mii. Also, Moffle will fight me to death if I abandoned the princess for a dumb reason like not getting paid right away mii." Tiramy

"I feel the real reason is the last thing you just said and princess, is this park owned by the Castle Town royal family?" Shouta

"Yes and no mii. Amagi Brilliant Park is owned by the princess personally, not the royal family, and yes the princess herself is part of the royal family but not the mainline, her older brother is the current king though mii." Tiramy

"Okay, then why the park is in such a state despite the owner of the park is part of the royal family? Shouldn't the royal family help her out?" Shouta

"It's complicated mii. Also, stop asking questions mii. You're starting to ask personal questions that I'm not allowed to answer mii." Tiramy

Hearing Tiramy I felt dumb as I am asking questions I shouldn't be asking so I apologized and let Tiramy become our guide.

After hearing me apologize he started to take Lucoa and I around to the safe and usable attractions in the park.

As we walked around in the park Lucoa and I enjoyed our time together but it could have been better if Tiramy stops trying to make accidents to touch Lucoa breast and ass.

While we are enjoying our date I kept looking at the state of the park and felt helpless as the old Shouta truly loved coming here with his family but now it's just sad.

So far Lucoa and I rode some rides played some games and saw a show that had girls use magic as part of the live performance.

As time passed Lucoa and I enjoyed our date while openly flirting with each other and whenever we had a good time on a ride or won a game we gave each other a deep kiss.

I think Lucoa was cheating on all the games as we kept on winning and it got to the point that Tiramy asked us to stop playing as the park would run out of prizes for the games if we kept going.

After being stopped from playing any more games Lucoa and I decided to go eat so I turned to Tiramy and asked him about lunch.

"Tiramy does the amusement park have any good restaurants or stalls?" Shouta

"Hmm, the best food in the amusement park is made by the princess herself and you're in luck today mii. The princess is holding a tea party event where you can eat personally made snacks from the princess with the princess mii. I was posted to give a random ticket to a visitor but seeing you're the only ones here today the ticket is yours mii. Come with me I'll lead the way to the tea party mii." Tiramy

After Tiramy was done speaking he gave us a ticket with the word winner on it with a picture of a castle that's an on-site location in the park.

Following Tiramy to the castle showed on the ticket, he took us to the balcony on the castle where a round table was set and ready for a tea party.

When we reached the balcony Tiramy left us as he still needed to work but not before waving goodbye to us.

Going to the table I saw a petite 14-year-old girl with waist-length blonde hair and blue eyes wearing an elegant peach and white dress, two necklaces, a pair of white gloves, and a silver tiara on her head.

Seeing her I thought cute and remember the old Shouta saw her five years ago and she hasn't since then.

Looking at the cute girl Lucoa and I sat across from her and she only reacted once we sat down.

"Welcome esteemed guess I'm Latifa Fleuranza the manager and princess of Amagi Brilliant Park." Latifa

Hearing her polite and eloquent greeting Lucoa and I smiled at her but something felt off about her, looking her over to see what was off I noticed the feeling was coming from her body itself.

Latifa's body feels out of place somehow and you can't notice it without knowing about magic so normal people will probably just think nothing wrong with her body but as a mage in training especially one that studies ritual magic I can feel it as I can feel ritual magic on her body and it also seems Lucoa noticed it but isn't saying anything about it.

Looking at her closely I can feel she had undergone a ritual most likely two of them but there could be more and said rituals are disjointed somehow giving off a wired magical signature.

Feeling the ritual magic on her body I'm trying to see what type they are as the ritual magic on her seems unique and wired.

Latifa seeing me or feeling me, as I think she's blind, look so closely at her felt awkward and spoke up.

"Umm, why are you looking so closely at me?" Latifa

Hearing the awkward tone of voice in her words I stopped looking at her so intensely and answered her to clear any misunderstandings along with changing her relationship status to make things easier on me.

--- Latifa Fleuranza ---

Relationship:

(<-) Friend 10% (->)

After changing the status I started to talk.

"Sorry, I'm just feeling the ritual magic that your body is releasing but I got to say whoever did the first ritual is an idiot or a novice in ritual magic while the second ritual magic on you is a band-aide at best if you want we can remove them and replay better replacements for you." Shouta

Hearing me Latifa nodded her head in understanding but she suddenly stood up from her chair while slamming her hands on the table and started to talk quickly and loudly.

"Wait, you can remove the ritual magic on me, are you sure it's not a curse!?" Latifa

Hearing her I felt dumb but guessed she mistook the magic on her as a curse so I answered her as this information seems important to her.

"Yes, I can, but it will be Lucoa who's removing it as she can do it without harming you. As for you being cursed, it's just that the ritual you underwent was a failure as you didn't fulfill its requirements it just seems you're surfing from its backlash so it's not a curse to say. There's also the chance the person who conducted the ritual didn't tell you all the information about it so he or she can benefit from the failure if you didn't fulfill the requirements as I can feel your magic going into the first ritual magic before going somewhere else while it's harming your body as it's over-drafting your magic. It should be easy for Lucoa to remove the ritual magic on your body." Shouta

Hearing me explain what was going on with her body and seeing Lucoa nodded her head seriously in agreement to my statement Latifa started to break down and started to cry loudly feeling we are telling her the truth.

Hearing her cries two people rushed to our location from the castle while yelling.

"Princess, what's wrong (fumo)!" ??? x2

Looking at the two who yelled I saw a brown mouse with a green hat and a red ribbon as tall as Tiramy runs to Latifa along with a slim young beautiful girl in her mid-teens with thigh-length golden brown hair that is tied into a ponytail by a black and white ribbon she also has golden eyes and she bears a voluptuous and well-endowed figure for a girl her age.

Latifa hearing the two stopped crying and looked in their direction before talking to them.

"Oh, Isuzu, Uncle, I'm fine I'm not hurt, I just got some really good news just now." Latifa

Hearing Latifa the two stopped panicking and waited for Latifa to explain to them what was the good news that made her crying.

Latifa seeing the two calm down started to talk to them.

"Our two guess here said they can remove the curse, I can finally be free from it." Latifa

Hearing Latifa's words the two showed dumbfounded expressions before they turned to Lucoa and me and the brown mouse pounced on me but Lucoa caught him before throwing him into the sky.

Latifa and the girl name Isuzu seeing the brown mouse fly away yelled out loud looking in the direction he was flying at.

"Uncle!" Latifa

"Moffle!" Isuzu

Seeing the two panic Lucoa spoke to the two of them to calm them down.

"Don't worry, I throw him to a pillow factory he should be fine." Lucoa

Hearing Lucoa's words I'm wondering if what she said is true but knowing her she wouldn't say any baseless lies so I'm guessing Moffle is now in a pillow factory I just don't know which one and how far away it is.

Latifa and Isuzu knowing that Moffle is fine calmed down as they can see that someone with Lucoa strength doesn't need to lie to them so they just went back to facing us as looking at where Moffle flew off won't help anyone.

Once Latifa and Isuzu faced us once more we started to talk once more but Latifa and Isuzu seem to be a little scared of Lucoa now as they try to avoid her gaze.

The first thing we talked about was Latifa's conditions and how Lucoa and I will help her to Isuzu as she seems worried about Latifa's condition before we moving on and started to have small talk while eating the snacks Latifa made as we hadn't had lunch yet.

While we were talking I started to get a very good opinion of Latifa as I heard her life story, her struggles, and all the love she holds but I also learned to never let her manage anything other than a kitchen.

Latifa seemed to be like the girl everyone wishes to marry as she's good at cooking, is optimistic, kind, caring, and selfless.

Thinking of her getting married I felt she probably will have problems finding a partner as her looks don't match her actual age and I also feel if she does find someone she might be taken avenge of as well because her personality is too trusting for her own good.

Thinking about her having an unhappy married life while being taken advantage of made me feel unhappy as I wouldn't like my friend to live in a sham of a marriage unhappily and she deserves better with all the things she went through.

Think about it I changed her relationship status once more as I believe this is the best choice than letting some random take advantage of her in the future by using some empty flowery words to trick her.
