“Hmm~! We’re here !”
With the hot sun shining, I, Rikuto, Sasagawa, and Wado came to an amusement park about an hour away by train.
Since it was summer vacation, I got the impression that there were many high school and college students there.
Sasagawa had planned this event to comfort me, but a few days had passed since then and I was surprisingly calm.
I had apologized to Hitomi san and the matter had been settled, so it was a good thing that the plan had fallen through.
I feel a little sorry for Sasagawa.
At the same time, the plan included a plan to deepen the friendship between Rikuto and Wado, so I decided to focus on that today.
“You’re too excited Kinako.”
“No, no, it would be rude not to be excited at an amusement park for the first time in a while ! Right, Tominaga kun !”
“Y-you’re right, Wado san ! We’ve come all this way, we have to have fun !”
Rikuto’s face showed that he was a little nervous.
Wado did not notice and smiled at Rikuto, who agreed.
Rikuto’s face turns red again when he sees that smile.
(Easy to understand.)
If Makoto had been here, he would have felt the same way.
By the way, Makoto couldn’t come today due to another matter.
It turned out to be an unscheduled double date, but it couldn’t be helped.
“Okay ! Let’s get on that first !”
Wado pointed to a roller coaster, a unique attraction at amusement parks.
“Don’t pick a hard one right off the bat…”
“What are you talking about, Mitsui kun? First of all, I dare you to go on the scariest roller coaster in order to raise your spirits !”
“I know exactly how you feel, Wado san !”
“Right !”
Rikuto agrees with Wado’s opinion without hesitation.
After all, they are similar people and seem to have similar ways of thinking.
It looks like they’ll start dating on their own without us doing anything.
“Hey, rollercoaster is fine, but why don’t we try something else?”
Sasagawa suggested to the two who were talking on their own.
Sasagawa’s face was pale when I looked at her closely.
“I see～ Kaoru can’t handle rollercoaster～”
“Huh !? I can handle that much !?”
Sasagawa refutes Wado’s teasing comment with a smirk.
But looking at her expression, it is not very convincing.
“There’s no need to be tough~ let’s try something else then~”
“Kuu~! I’ll do it ! Come on, we’re doing it !”
Sasagawa, taking Wado’s provocation in stride, starts to walk toward the roller coaster.
“That’s how it should be !”
Wado and Rikuto follow suit.
I wonder if Sasagawa is really going to be okay.
As luck would have it, the roller coaster was not too crowded at that time of the day, and the roller coaster was ready to go.
Following the instructions of the staff, we boarded the ride and found a button in front of us with a number up to 4 written on it.
“Now, everyone, please choose your favorite song.”
Apparently, this coaster is to be enjoyed while listening to a song.
It seems that this button is used to select a song.
“I can’t hear the music while I’m riding.”
“You’re too naive, Kenchi.”
“K-Kenchi?”
Wado said, using a nickname that only Sasagawa uses.
“I can hear the music I like at any time. Right? Rikuton.”
“No doubt about it. Ken, you have to choose your music carefully. I’ll play number two, as usual.”
“Oh ! You know what you’re doing, Rikuton. Me too.”
I think they really hit it off.
We haven’t helped them yet, but they hit it off in every way.
I expected Rikuto to fail, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
As for the nickname, let’s ignore it.
“….Sasagawa, are you sure you’re okay?”
“Eh? What? I’m totally comfortable.”
Sasagawa, sitting next to me, was smiling all the time.
That scared me.
“You shouldn’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“Don’t be like that, Kenchi, I’m not forcing myself. I’m looking forward to it.”
The corners of her mouth were upturned, but her eyes were dead.
I guess she is not very good at it.
But there was no turning back now.
The safety bar was lowered, the coaster started to move, and the staff said, [Have a good ride.]
“Wow, the scenery is beautiful.”
While Rikuto and Wado’s eyes were shining with excitement, Sasagawa was looking at the view from above with dead eyes.
It was unclear if the view was captured in her eyes.
“…..Sasagawa, hang in there.”
Those were the only light words that came out of my mouth.
Then the coaster reached the top and plunged.
“Kyaaaaaah !”
“Uh-oh !”
Rikuto and Wado screamed happily.
Nothing was heard from Sasagawa.
