Chapter 246 Fearless of Nothing!
"So how come she's here too?"

Holding hands while escaping has always been a romantic thing, provided, of course, that you are not truly penniless, and that the boy holding your hand is not completely incapable.

So if it were Tsukino Gen, she would be quite willing to elope with him.

It's also possible that we won't see where we're going or whether there's any future at all.

But why is there this girl on the bus?

Kazama Sakura sat obediently in the back seat of the car, holding a lollipop in her hand, looking at her phone, and then turned to look at Tsukino Gen and Asagiri Rin who had opened the car door.

The young lady's smile froze instantly.

The smile that seemed to be carried by the breeze was clearly from the mad dash just now.

It's as if passing through a time tunnel has truly transcended all worldly gazes, making one truly free like a bird.

And now, it seems that the bird can no longer fly.

Because I saw another beautiful canary.

It wasn't her beauty that attracted me, but rather the instinctive territoriality that was triggered.

Blinking, Kazama Sakura, who was eating a lollipop, held out her hand; it was an unopened lollipop.

"do you want to eat?"

"Eating a head, and you're still trying to play the naive and innocent character, huh?"

Asagiri Rin sat down in with a disgruntled expression, immediately taking up the very center seat.

Gen Tsukino could only sit on the other side of the car, near the door.

Kazama Sakura looked at the young lady innocently, "Why are you getting angry at me?"

"Why are you here?"

Asagiri Rin was too lazy to argue with the other party and asked directly.

Sakura Kazama replied helplessly, "It's all because of Gen. The whole school is probably in chaos now. I've seen people confess their feelings before, but I've never seen anyone confess to two people at the same time. To prevent people from making a fuss, I ran away with them."

Romantic matters certainly shouldn't cause such a huge upheaval in the entire school.

But there was nothing he could do. This boy was incredibly audacious and provoked the two most popular and unique beauties in the entire school.

In this country where there is no shortage of "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), it is also the age when one is most chuunibyou.

It's estimated that many boys in the school are now preparing to 'punish' this audacious lecher.

To prevent further public criticism, and also to avoid making the two girls' situation too awkward, the best approach is to take both of them with you. How could you leave one of them alone in such a predicament?

That's too much love.

That's still too thorough.

"You don't seem angry at all?"

Asagiri Rin asked curiously.

Sakura Kazama shook her head. "Why be angry? What's done is done, and being angry won't turn back time. Besides, I think it's quite interesting."

"Do you feel particularly honored that your name is mentioned alongside mine?"

"Wow, Miss, your narcissism is now on par with Ah-Xian's."

"Go to hell, you're the narcissist. But you're a really strange creature."

"More than all that, aren't you curious about where we're going now?"

Kazama Sakura blinked.

Clearly, she knew the answer before I did.

Indeed, I was in a rush on the way here, and my mood was so caught up in my own romance that I didn't even have time to ask where we were going.

It seems the destination was already chosen by the boy.

"So where are we going? Don't keep me in suspense."

"Hehe, let's go to the amusement park."

Kazama Sakura seemed very excited, while Morita Kaoru in front had already stepped on the gas. It seemed that everyone had reached a consensus on this matter and were now heading to their destination.

Asagiri Rin glanced at Tsukino Gen beside her.

"Why go to the amusement park? It's your ninth birthday today, you want to make a birthday wish? Or how about I take you to McDonald's?"

The girl retorted sarcastically, clearly thinking that going to an amusement park was a rather childish thing, as if it wasn't an activity that should belong to adults.

However, in reality, the majority of people who visit amusement parks are young adults.

Gen shrugged. "Can't we be a little more childlike? It's not like being at an amusement park is something to be ashamed of, is it?"

"It's so late, what's there to go somewhere?"

"Most amusement parks now offer nighttime attractions, and you could even say that this is when the most fun begins. You're so ignorant, aren't you?"

"You know."

The girl hummed softly.

"So, does the young lady want some candy?"

Kazama Sakura handed the lollipop back to her.

Asagiri Rin glared at her, annoyed. "You're just a kid, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of getting cavities?"

"Being afraid of this and that makes you lose all your joy. Do you want to eat or not? If not, give it to Ah-Xian."

"I eat, I eat."

Gen Tsukino reached out his hand to take it.

"Snapped!"

Asagiri Rin slapped the boy's hand away, then took the lollipop, roughly tore off the wrapper, and stuffed it into her mouth.

He seemed to still be angry.

"Only you two are so heartless, still in the mood to go to an amusement park."

Kazama Sakura was still smiling sweetly.

"How can you call it heartless? We just wanted to go out and have some fun. Besides, we're in the same club, so why not treat it as a club activity?"

Rin Asagiri felt from the bottom of her heart that this was a self-deceiving statement.

An ordinary person might see it that way, but the relationship between the three of them seems self-evident. Can it really be simply treated as a club activity?

I just don't know why, but I can't bring myself to voice this question now.

There seemed to be a subtle atmosphere, one that one was reluctant to break.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you guys."

That's what I finally said.

The atmosphere on the way wasn't as unbearable as I'd imagined. Perhaps it was because Kazama Sakura and Tsukino Gen were so open and honest, as if the three of them were truly close friends, with no topic off-limits. In this atmosphere, even the initially somewhat reserved young lady was swept up in it, forced to participate in a few topics she happened to know about.

The car stopped in the bustling amusement park parking lot.

The sun had just begun to set, yet the entire amusement park was already ablaze with countless lights. It was as if a grand ceremony was being held to welcome the arrival of dusk, as if the transition between dawn and dusk had become a sacred moment.

There are indeed quite a few people.

Even though today isn't a holiday, this is still the time when most people are eating. But it seems only slightly less crowded than the so-called peak hours.

"Why are there so many people here at this time?"

"It's more lively and fun with more people, otherwise if there's no one around, wouldn't it be as scary as a ghost movie?"

Kazama Sakura said with a smile.

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment, "To be honest, I've actually seen horror movies about amusement parks. I remember there was this one with a clown."

"Shut up, are you going to play or not?"

Asagiri Rin felt a chill run down her spine at the boy's narrowed eyes and quickly stopped him from continuing.

"Then you have to buy tickets first."

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the queue, so I easily bought three tickets.

Kazama Sakura was the only one carrying the amusement park's guidebook, looking at the route and gesturing for directions.

"The roller coaster closes after 7 PM, so why don't we go ride the roller coaster first?"

"What's so fun about that thing? Are you a masochist?"

Immediately, Asagiri Rin became displeased.

Kazama Sakura looked at the young lady in surprise, "Asagi-san, are you afraid of roller coasters?"

"Who's afraid of that kind of thing? I just think it's boring and not exciting enough. Have you ever done bungee jumping? Do you know wingsuit flying? Do you know skydiving?"

Kazama Sakura looked at Asagiri Rin with admiration, "Young lady has experienced so much."

Tsukino Gen said with a laugh, "You don't really think someone who's afraid of heights would go bungee jumping or anything like that, do you?"

"Huh? Asagiri-kun is afraid of heights?"

Asagiri Rin's face immediately turned awkward. "You're the one who's afraid of heights! What do I have to be afraid of? It's just a roller coaster! Let's go!"

It was as if they were trying to prove that they were fearless, but in their eyes, it was no different from sulking.

The two exchanged a glance, then followed. There weren't many people left on the roller coaster; they'd probably all done what they wanted. It wasn't one of the rides that was open at night, so it wasn't very popular at this time of day.

The queue went smoothly. Once Asagiri Rin decided to do something, she naturally wouldn't give up halfway. In this respect, she's very similar to Tsukino Gen.

However, the biggest difference is that she doesn't have the talent of a true master like Gen Tsukino, nor is she truly fearless.

So the moment I sat down, I felt an indescribable tension and a subtle feeling of my heart racing.

This immediately triggered a rare feeling of regret in her.

She subconsciously looked up, hoping to see something.

And that hope never disappointed her, just like when you fall asleep at night and then wake up, you always see the light.

Gen Tsukino sat down next to her.

This time, it was Kazama Sakura who was alone.

She was clearly aware of this problem as well. Was it because this boy was so perceptive and wanted to take care of her? And was he willing to sacrifice someone else for her? But wouldn't that mean she was even weaker in front of Kazama Sakura?

She subconsciously said with some dissatisfaction, "Aren't you going to keep her company? How can you bear to let her sit alone?"

Tsukino Gen said with a laugh, "They're not afraid."

"You make it sound like I'm scared!"

"Mmm, you guys aren't scared, it's me who's scared, okay? I feel safe around you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Asagiri Rin heard Kazama Sakura's undisguised laughter behind her.

Clearly, she didn't think there was anything wrong with how Tsukino Gen took care of her, nor did she intend to make a big deal out of it.

The staff quickly checked the safety measures.

Asagiri Rin wanted to control herself and appear calmer, but her hands had already gripped the handrails as if it were an irresistible instinct.

“Crack.”

When the roller coaster emitted a very unreliable rolling sound, it was as if countless old parts were struggling to operate, and it was possible that they would fall apart at any moment.

That tension and fear became even more real in the girl's heart.

The scenery that was once so clear began to recede as the speed gradually increased, and she almost held her breath.

Suddenly, my calm was completely disrupted.

She felt an urge to close her eyes tightly.

At this moment, it felt as if the greatest catastrophe in the world had ever occurred to me.

The roller coaster moved slowly until it reached the highest point of the first hill, and at that moment, she felt as if she were closest to the sky.

The front of the car suddenly plunged downwards.

The intense feeling of weightlessness was like an elevator with its ropes snapped.

Her eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't even utter a scream of despair.

It's going to be smashed.

It's about to be thrown out.

It was about to fly into the air and then land heavily!

But in that very instant...

Her hand was suddenly grasped, and she instinctively turned her head to see a boy with his hair disheveled by the wind smiling and watching her.

Even in such extreme weightlessness, he was still able to transmit sound clearly to his own ears.

"Don't be afraid, I'll catch you even if you fly out."

Is it really going to fly out?!

"Ahhhhh!!"

at last.

The scream that had been held back for so long was finally released.

At dusk and sunset.

That was a soprano voice that seemed to be utterly heartbreaking, echoing through the heavens.
