If You Always Bully Others, You Will Be Punished

"Well then, which one should we play first~"

Humming cheerfully, Fumino held the free map distributed at the entrance in her hand and selected her target with great interest.

After all, this wasn't a specific amusement park, and there were only common types of rides. Even though it seemed like she could ride all the rides, the question now was where to start.

Moreover, she had to calculate their waiting time.

"Go straight from the entrance to the end and play in order." Rizu looked at the map seriously and seemed to be genuinely calculating the optimal ratio formula between the route and time. Shinichi took the map and urged them forward.

"The Black Dragon is at the back; it doesn't matter which one you play first."

The two girls didn't mind and followed him to the first stop near the entrance, the merry-go-round.

There weren't many people here, most of them were children, and it seemed odd if the three high school students were among them, but Shinichi vaguely saw Iino smiling like an innocent child on the wooden horse, and he didn't know if it was just an illusion.

Soon, it was their turn for another "ride." The carousels here couldn't be ridden together. Shinichi planned to find a horse and ride it, but Fumino pulled him to the side, smiling, and placed him on a white horse.

Then, the two of them sat in the carriage behind, staring at him pulling the front carriage with bright eyes and showing beautiful smiles.

"Driver Asada-san, please drive carefully from now on~"

"Shinichi-san, I heard the driver will scream while driving."

"Alright, alright." Shinichi rolled his eyes. After the carousel started turning, he flicked the decorative reins in front and reluctantly shouted:

"Drive~"

The same joyful laughter echoed from behind, along with some camera sounds from phones.

After finishing, Shinichi got off his white horse and looked at the sky, with a sense of emptiness in his expression.

The two behind him laughed and joked happily, even discussing whether his posture while straddling the horse was standard and whether he should sit again to adjust it.

Shinichi quickly pulled them to the next facility.

"Bumper cars? It's been a long time since I played."

In line, Fumino attentively watched the vehicles crashing around the venue, and loud shouts and blood-curdling screams faintly heard.

"Rin, slow down on the front turn!"

"So noisy! I want you to see my corner overtaking skills... Huh? Wait, why did the steering wheel fall!?"

"You..."

"Forget it! Lancer, Aix caramel stick!"

"Wow, so dangerous! Hahaha, have you ever seen the power of Evasion Protection? Stupid Saber, you still don't want my Blue Comet to fall—"

"Berserker, take him down."

"Roar--!"

*BAM*

"Souichiro-sama, let's drive slowly to the finish line like this~"

"...That's what I planned, but a car without a steering wheel is floating."

"What?!"

*BAM*

"Rider, use your ability to easily win this game! I won't forgive you if you lose!"

"Don't worry, my riding skill is A+..."

"Mongrel, who gave you the courage to obstruct this king – Gates of Babylon!"

"What!?—"

*BAM*

Shinichi watched the fierce battle inside and seemed to faintly hear the explosions.

His imagination? This is an ordinary amusement park; how could something as bad as a war happen?

"Kirei, this is the Holy Vehicle War. Truly nostalgic."

"Yes, teacher. This is the Holy Vehicle War."

"Do you remember something, Kirei?"

"No, Teacher. I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Then why did you draw the Azoth sword I gave you?"

"...For fun."

Two middle-aged men in front of the team were discussing something disturbing. One of the men dressed as a priest was holding a toy dagger in his hand.

Yes, it must be a toy.

Shinichi decided to ignore all these extraordinary sights and focus on chatting with the two girls. He lined up with them, rode cars, collided joyfully, and got off the bus happily.

"Quick, the next stop~"

After experiencing a great collision in the bumper car area, both with flushed faces, they dragged Shinichi to the next journey.

Coffee cups, pirate ships, falling from heights... Although Rizu found it difficult to handle some exciting facilities, once she got used to it, it didn't matter as long as she silently recited math formulas while playing.

The three of them also went to the electronic amusement park within the park to play together. They cooperated to kill zombies, competed to grab stuffed animals, and took photos of their faces in various strange poses... After playing all the games they could, they went to the haunted house themed as a mental hospital.

"I... I feel a little unwell. I just want to see you play outside."

Rizu stared at the frightening haunted house in the hospital, cold sweat slowly dripping on her forehead, and said to the two with a stiff expression.

Fumino quickly understood that Rizu was afraid of ghosts, smiled sympathetically, and prepared to pass this place.

Shinichi suddenly said to Rizu: "According to research in England, people with larger breasts are less courageous."

Fumino: "...?"

Rizu was surprised. Her trust in Shinichi prevented her from doubting what he said. After thinking deeply, she looked at Fumino.

She still remembered that from the beginning until now, Fumino had never been afraid of any rides, no matter how thrilling they were; she even laughed very happily, as if she had released another personality.

Then why could Fumino be so brave?

Rizu gazed at Fumino's chest, her eyes slowly showing a clear look, and then she smiled calmly as if she had found a reason to comfort herself.

Fumino: "...???"

It seemed like a disconnected sound of reasoning.

She held Rizu's wrist, raised her hand, and shouted cheerfully:

"Let's go to the haunted house~"

Rizu's eyes widened, and her face gradually turned pale: "Wait, Fumino, I..."

"Oh, how can you know it's not scary if you haven't tried it? You must have an experimental spirit and an attitude to learn things you can't understand, right, Ricchan?"

Fumino smiled brightly, looked at her chest with uninteresting eyes, and said word by word:

"So, let's go, okay?"

"..."

Rizu could no longer say anything and was dragged into the haunted house by Fumino.

Before entering, Fumino turned to Shinichi with a cold grin on her face.

"I'll settle this matter with you later. Now, follow me."

"...YES, BOSS."

Shinichi obediently followed her.
