Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

On a hot day like this, even going inside the aquarium's restaurant to order a drink and sit down is better than standing here like an idiot.

Shiro and Erina exchanged a glance and decided it would be better for them both to go inside.

Erina asked:

"Misaki-chan, it's too hot standing here. It's cooler inside. Why don't we go in and walk around for a bit?"

While standing here, Misaki Nagai was actually sweating and felt a bit hot.

She even felt that if her makeup continued like this, it might melt off.

It's about time to go somewhere shady.

She also wanted to touch up her makeup in the aquarium's restroom.

Misaki Nagai agreed:

"Okay, let's go inside first."

Afterwards, all three of them went inside the aquarium.

And that was after they had been inside for a while.

Chitanda Mirai, Watanabe Hina, Maejima Rika, and Urahara Junko had already arrived at the entrance of the aquarium.

Chitanda Mirai glanced at the doorway as soon as she arrived.

I figured they would open the gates early today to let tourists in.

This perfectly matches my plan.

Then there's no need to worry about Rinka-chan and Watanabe-senpai running into Kamishiro-kun when they come over.

As for the route inside, Chitanda Mirai knew it by heart.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kamishiro-kun will likely continue along a single route until the very end, before finally emerging.

If I leave the group with Junko beforehand, and then have Watanabe Hina and Maejima Rika take different routes, then they will basically not run into Kamishiro-kun.

On the contrary, I will be able to travel a long distance with Kamishiro and the others.

As she was thinking this, Chitanda Mirai turned to look at the giant Ferris wheel near Kasai Rinkai Aquarium.

Her real purpose for coming here wasn't the aquarium, but this Ferris wheel.

If given the chance, she actually wanted to ride the Ferris wheel with Kamishiro-kun.

at this time.

Hina Watanabe, Rika Maejima, and Junko Urahara, who were standing nearby, also noticed the huge Ferris wheel that stood tall.

Rika Maejima was incredibly excited.

I just feel that coming here this time was definitely the right thing to do.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that there was such a big Ferris wheel near Kasai Rinkai Aquarium.

If I come with Kamishiro-kun next time, I'll definitely find an excuse to ride the Ferris wheel with him.

When Watanabe Hina came to Kasai Rinkai Aquarium, she had actually done her research beforehand.

She knew that the Ferris wheel nearby was said to be the largest in Japan, taking about 17 minutes to complete a full rotation.

The highest point is approximately 117m.

Once you sit on it, you can overlook central Tokyo and the Boso Peninsula.

On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji in the distance.

Because this Ferris wheel is quite famous, many couples and young people in the early stages of a romantic relationship come here.

After all, the ride lasts for 17 minutes, allowing two people to spend a long time alone together.

I heard that if you confess your love at the highest point, you'll be much more likely to succeed.

Although Watanabe Hina doesn't know if it's true, it's definitely worth trying.

Junko Urahara gazed at the enormous Ferris wheel in the distance, suddenly feeling a bit hungry, and muttered to herself:

"This Ferris wheel looks like a donut."

Her words made the three people present chuckle.

Chitanda Mirai also looked over and smiled:

"It really does look like a giant donut."

Rika Maejima chuckled:

"Yes, it is."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to crave some too."

Chitanda Mirai introduced:

Tell me about your Ferris wheel?

Watanabe Hina nodded and said:

"I know."

Rika Maejima blinked and shook her head, saying:

What's wrong with this Ferris wheel?

Junko Urahara also shook her head and said:

"I wonder if there's food there?"

Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:

"There does seem to be some food nearby."

"But that's not what I wanted to say."

"I was thinking that the Ferris wheel scene would be perfect for your romance novel."

Rika Maejima's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:

"What's going on? Explain in detail!"

Chitanda Mirai explained the Ferris wheel situation to Maejima Rika.

She introduced it this way because she was thinking that she might as well let Watanabe Hina and Maejima Rika sit there later.

That way, she wouldn't have to worry about the two of them discovering Kamishiro-kun.

Rika Maejima was overjoyed:

"So this is ah!"

"A single ride can only take seventeen minutes?"

"This is great!"

She thought that if she could go up to the highest point with Kamishiro-kun and confess her feelings, maybe this time it would really work out!

That's seventeen minutes!

If the two of them were alone together, I might actually succeed if I tried my best!

Watanabe Hina didn't really want Chitanda Mirai to tell Maejima Rika about this.

But now that it's already been said, there's nothing that can be done about it.

Although she certainly knew that Rika Maejima would write about this Ferris wheel in her romance novel.

Because she is the female lead, while Kamishiro-kun is the male lead.

Even so, Kamishiro still rejected Maejima Rika.

No matter how hard Rika Maejima tries to express her love for Kamishiro-kun through her novels, it will ultimately be meaningless.

Watanabe Hina was quite relieved about this.

Chitanda Mirai suddenly suggested:

"Weren't you guys planning to write a romance novel?"

"Why don't you two ride the Ferris wheel together later?"

Rika Maejima nodded frantically and said:

"I want to sit. Hina-senpai, would you like to sit?"

Watanabe Hina thought about it and figured that since she would be coming with Kamishiro-kun anyway, it wouldn't hurt to sit down now and get ready in advance.

She agreed:

"can."

"Are Mirai and Junko coming?"

Junko Urahara did not reply, but just looked at Mirai Chitanda.

Chitanda Mirai replied with a smile:

"I'm not really sure either."

"Because my health isn't very good, I need to see how my physical condition is before deciding whether or not to go up."

Both Watanabe Hina and Maejima Rika knew that Chitanda Mirai was in poor health.

Because this Ferris wheel is indeed quite tall, at 117m.

If something happens, you really can only wait for the Ferris wheel to complete one full rotation before you can get off.

It has been more than seventeen minutes since I finished the round trip.

If Chitanda Mirai suddenly becomes unwell inside, that would be a real problem.

So neither of them dared to invite Chitanda Mirai any further.

Chitanda Mirai knew it was still early and not the right time for the two of them to ride the Ferris wheel, so she decided to go inside the aquarium first.

"Let's go inside now."
