“Phew~ we had a lot of fun today～”
“Misora, aren’t you too energetic?”
“Yes, you have quite a lot of stamina.”
All day long we were pushed around by Misora.
First the roller coaster, then the coffee cup.
We went along with her on a variety of other attractions.
Seeing Misora in high spirits from start to finish cheered me up, but even so, there is a limit to my physical strength.
I was riding along with the powerful Misora on the attractions, and my energy quickly ran out.
I guess it was the same for Towa.
“Is that so～? Isn’t this normal?”
“It’s definitely not normal ! How can this be normal?”
“Muu～that’s fine. Let’s go over there next time !”
“Wait, wait, wait !? I thought we were going home.”
“No, we still have time. If we’re gonna go all this way, it would be a loss if we don’t get in, right?”
Are you still going to ride?
And it’s a scream ride.
Towa’s face was turning blue, and I knew I had to decline.
“I’ll pass. Both Towa and I are at our physical limits.”
When I said that, Towa was nodding her head next to me.
She seemed to be very tired as well.
“Hmm, I’ll be riding by myself, so you two can take it easy.”
“Hey, wait a minute……”
Before I could stop her, Misora went to get in line for the attraction.
How much physical strength does she have?
“Do you wanna take a break somewhere?”
“That’s right. I’m really tired. Really.”
“We’ve been riding the attractions all day. It’s almost sunset.”
The sun will be setting soon.
“Oh ! Hey, Sora. Do you wanna go on that ride?”
“Is that a Ferris wheel?”
Towa pointed to a rather large Ferris wheel.
If we got on it at this time of the day, we would be able to see a beautiful view of the city.
“Yes ! I’ve never been on a Ferris wheel, so I’d like to try it. Besides, it doesn’t seem like it would be too tiring.”
“That’s good. If we ride it now, we can see a beautiful view.”
If we ride it now, we will be able to see a beautiful sunset.
It had been a long time since I had ridden a Ferris wheel, so I was looking forward to it.
“Let’s go then. There doesn’t seem to be a line at the moment.”
“That’s right. Let’s get going.”
Towa was right, the Ferris wheel was much quieter than the other attractions, and we would be able to get on it within a few minutes.
“……Ah.”
I held Towa’s hand as we got in line for the Ferris wheel.
I looked at Towa and saw that her face was red and soon after noticed that I was holding her hand.
“Ah !? I’m sorry. It’s just a habit.”
I was always holding hands like this when I was with Misora, so I unconsciously took her hand.
“No, it’s nothing to apologize for.”
“Really? Wasn’t it uncomfortable?”
“Sora, fix your low self-esteem. I don’t feel uncomfortable even if you hold my hand.”
“I see.”
Towa is always telling me this, but it is impossible for me to have a high self-esteem.
After all, I hate myself more than anything else in the world.
“Right. But isn’t it about time?”
“I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t been on a Ferris wheel in a really long time.”
“It’s my first time, so you’ll have to escort me, okay? Sora.”
“Please leave it to me, young lady?”
And with that, we boarded the Ferris wheel as the attendant led us.
The interior of the Ferris wheel looked like any ordinary Ferris wheel.
Towa and I sat down on chairs facing each other.
“How long does it take to go around?”
“Maybe 15 minutes per lap. I think that’s how long a basic Ferris wheel takes to go around.”
I answered Towa’s question, digging up my memory of a trip I once took.
“It’s surprisingly short.”
“That’s true. I mean, if they made it any longer, it would be very tedious.”
“That’s true.”
While the two of us were talking in the closed room of the Ferris wheel, the wheel continued to climb higher and higher.
The Ferris wheel reached a height at which we could see the whole amusement park.
“……Beautiful.”
“I hadn’t been on a Ferris wheel in a long time, but I didn’t realize how beautiful the view was. No, I guess it was because I’m with Towa.”
“…..Sora you idiot.”
“Why !?”
Why did I suddenly get abused just now?
I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like she’s angry based on her expression.
Rather, she seemed to be simply enjoying the scenery outside.
Her eyes caught the beautiful sunset, and her beautiful blue eyes were shining like a child’s.
“If I hadn’t met Sora, I wouldn’t have seen such a beautiful view……”
“I don’t think so. I’m sure that even without me, Towa would’ve seen the same beautiful scenery and would have experienced more fun.”
“I don’t think so. If it weren’t for you, I would probably still be stuck in the past.”
“I’m sure that’s not true. Towa is a strong person, so no matter what anyone say, you should’ve been able to overcome it. With or without me.”
Towa is saying this, but I don’t think so.
She would have been able to overcome the past on her own without me.
If anything, she would have had a more amazing experience.
It would have been better without me……
“….Sora you really are.”
“Really are?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
What is it? It’s an attitude that doesn’t seem to be like Towa.
Is there something she wants to say?
But if she wants to say something, I guess I don’t have to ask her.
“It’s a pity. I think it’s almost over.”
“These things end pretty quickly, don’t they?”
“Yes, it is. The more fun we have, the quicker it seems to go by.”
Fun times……
I’m glad you think so.
I’m sure that one day Towa will leave me.
She will have a lover or an irreplaceable friend.
Then my existence will gradually fade away.
Until then, I hope to be with Towa.
“Right. I’ll have to look for Misora when we got off.”
“True. I wonder if she’s already finished the ride?”
“Not yet, I’m afraid. There was a good amount of line.”
“That’s true. Let’s take it easy.”
We got off the Ferris wheel and sat down on a bench near where we had left Misora.
Then we spent some quiet time until Misora came back.
