Outside the dessert shop—
Iroha Isshiki suggested that everyone go shopping together.
In her heart, she was well aware: since they'd all run into each other, it was impossible for her to go shopping with Su Yu alone anymore.
Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita both turned their eyes toward Su Yu.
"Yukino, want to go to the amusement park?" Su Yu thought for a moment and asked.
"Alright," Yukino replied after a slight hesitation.
"What about you, junior?" Su Yu turned to Iroha Isshiki.
"Sure, I'll go with whatever Senpai says." Iroha smiled.
"Not bad. I like obedient juniors. Once we get to the amusement park, let's ride the Ferris wheel together," Su Yu said as he gently patted Iroha's head.
"Senpai, aren't you going to ride it with Yukinoshita-senpai…" Iroha started to ask.
Su Yu simply smiled at her without offering an explanation.
Yukino acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
…
They took the train—
And then walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the amusement park.
Since it was Saturday, the place was packed.
Yukino had always been a little anxious in crowds like this.
But now—
Su Yu glanced at the Yukino standing beside him.
"I'm not afraid of this kind of environment anymore. If I were, I wouldn't be able to live up to being Director Yukinoshita, and I wouldn't be able to produce an anime," Yukino said softly, sensing Su Yu's gaze.
"You've grown up, Yukino." Su Yu held her small hand.
"It's all because of you." Yukino looked at him, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Wanna ride the roller coaster?" Su Yu asked.
Yukino shot him a look at those words.
Su Yu smiled. He knew full well that she would be scared—it was just teasing.
"Su Yu-kun, we're going to go check out the other rides. You take care of Yukino," Yui's voice called out.
"I'll catch up with you later." Su Yu waved.
Iroha followed after them as well.
Yukino looked around. There were so many things she wanted to try at the amusement park.
As long as it wasn't something like the roller coaster, she could handle it—barely.
"Yukino, let's start with that one." Su Yu took her by the hand and led her toward one of the attractions.
Yukino followed beside him. In the past, she would've been nervous—so nervous it might've affected her breathing.
But now, holding Su Yu's hand and walking beside him—
A soft smile appeared on Yukino's face.
…
An hour later—
The carousel stopped.
Su Yu and Yukino got off.
They had spent their time on some of the gentler attractions.
When they got to this one—
Su Yu suggested trying the merry-go-round.
At first, Yukino had thought it was childish. But once she got on, her face flushed uncontrollably.
Because Su Yu had wrapped his arms around her. With so many little kids around, she felt incredibly embarrassed.
"Alright, let's go find the others. I shouldn't monopolize you all to myself," Yukino said a few steps later.
"You're so considerate, Yukino." Su Yu leaned in and gave her a light kiss on the cheek as he spoke.
"You're such a bad guy…" Yukino muttered.
"My cute little Yukino," Su Yu said with a smile.
A few minutes later—
They regrouped with the others. Su Yu let go of Yukino's hand.
"Yui, Yumiko, do you two want to go ride the roller coaster with me? Yukino's too scared to go."
"I… I don't want to either. Let Yumiko go with you instead." Yui instantly caught Su Yu's intention and gracefully gave the opportunity to Miura Yumiko.
"I… I'm not scared." Yumiko blushed, realizing she'd get to be alone with Su Yu.
"We were just thinking about taking a break anyway. Su Yu-kun, go with Yumiko. We'll wait for you here," Ebina Hina offered.
"Let's go, Yumiko," Su Yu said with a smile.
"Okay…" Yumiko lowered her head shyly and followed after him.
Once they were a bit farther away—
Su Yu gently took her hand.
Yumiko's face lit up, and she wrapped her arms around his.
"Sorry I haven't had much time for you. After the amusement park, when we all go shopping, I'll help you pick out some clothes," Su Yu said gently.
"Mhm." Yumiko nodded.
To her, this was already enough.
They got on the roller coaster.
After Su Yu sat down and saw that the rest of the passengers were still getting ready, he turned and kissed Yumiko.
Yumiko didn't react right away—by the time she did, it was already too late.
"S-Sorry…" Yumiko's face turned red.
"It's alright. It's my fault. I haven't kissed you in so long you forgot how to respond. Later tonight, once you're ready, I'll teach you how to kiss properly again," Su Yu said as he fastened his seatbelt.
Yumiko's eyes shimmered with anticipation at his words.
Once everyone was strapped in—
The roller coaster launched.
Yumiko gripped Su Yu's hand tightly.
She was actually really afraid of roller coasters, but with Su Yu by her side, she felt fine.
…
After one loop—
Su Yu and Yumiko returned.
Yui was a bit impressed to see that Yumiko's expression was totally calm.
"Yumiko, you're really brave. If it were me, I'd probably have my eyes shut the whole time and be pale with fear."
"I… I was actually really scared, but with Su Yu-kun by my side, I wasn't afraid," Yumiko said softly.
"When Senpai's around, he really does give off a strong sense of security," Iroha said with a smile as she looked at Su Yu.
"If you ever feel unsafe, you can just give me the key to your place. I'll come over at night so you can sleep peacefully," Su Yu said, looking at her.
"I'm just going to drink my tea now," Yukino said calmly, holding a bottle of iced tea.
Iroha opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything in response.
After a short break, the group continued exploring the amusement park.
At one point—
Su Yu accompanied Yui on the bumper cars.
Yui's driving was, to put it kindly, a disaster. Su Yu had to teach her for quite a while before she finally got the hang of it.
Then, as they passed the haunted house—
Ebina Hina said she wanted to go in for "research."
Yumiko, Yui, Iroha, and Yukino all firmly refused to enter.
So naturally…
"In my script, the protagonist and the tsundere male lead go to the amusement park together," Ebina began, her tone theatrical.
"When they see the haunted house, the protagonist teases the tsundere, saying he's too scared to go in."
"The tsundere immediately gets defensive and insists on going in. Then the two of them enter."
"Inside, the tsundere gets scared and clings to the protagonist's arm…"
"The protagonist then deliberately spooks him. And at the end, when they leave the haunted house, the protagonist buys him a warm drink—and then the two of them…"
Ebina adjusted her glasses as she spoke, her grin so intense it actually scared some of the nearby staff.
Su Yu felt like Ebina's story was scarier than the haunted house itself.
