There were only two days left before the start of school, which was the agreed-upon time to go to the amusement park.
Even early in the morning, the cicadas outside the window were still chirping, telling us that summer was not yet over. Fortunately, it was a cloudy day and not too hot.
However, Shiraishi Sawa still chose to wear a pure white T-shirt and pure white breathable trousers to further reduce the feeling of heat caused by the weather.
Takanashi Yuuko hadn't gotten up yet, so Shiraishi Sawa Hide made breakfast for two and left her a message on Line. After eating, he put the remaining portion in the rice cooker and left the apartment.
Just like the last time Taichi Oki went to buy caterpillars, Taichi Oki contacted Hideaki Shiraishi yesterday and asked him to come over earlier.
This is why Shiraishi Sawa Hide got up at 9 a.m., even though the amusement park doesn't open until then.
The location is Yomiuriland in Yanoguchi, and it doesn't take long to get there by taking the Keio Line.
After getting off at Yomiuriland Station, you still need to take a cable car for a while—Yomiuriland is located at a relatively high altitude, and finally we arrived at the entrance of the park.
The entrance was unusually deserted at seven o'clock; not even all the staff had arrived. Taichi Oki sat alone in the spot provided at the entrance.
Upon seeing that Shiraishi Sawa had arrived, the two found a nearby coffee shop and sat down.
"Go on, are you nervous again?" Shiraishi Zexiu cut straight to the point.
“This time it’s alright,” Taichi Oki shook his head. “We’ve been building up for so long and we’re so familiar with each other, so I’m not really nervous.”
"Then why did you call me here? Minister Oki, you deprived me of a whole hour and a half of sleep time. That's such an outrageous thing for someone who's used to sleeping in." Shiraishi Sawah's eyes widened.
"Firstly, I'd like to ask you to try to get the student council president away from her, otherwise Miko's focus will still be on the president, since you all..."
Taiki started winking and making faces, clearly having come to a strange conclusion after witnessing Soga Kirei helping Shiraishizawa Hide wipe the paint off his face.
"Aren't you guys a little faster than me? Why don't you confess your feelings to me too, Shiraishi?"
"Hold on, getting rid of them is fine. You guys want to do the thrill rides, right? Well, I'll just make up a story that I don't like those thrill rides, and then beg the president to come with me..."
Shiraishi Sawa glanced at the facilities inside and suddenly felt a little tempted again.
"Okay, let's go in and play on that big spinning wheel together first, it's right by the entrance anyway. After we're done, I'll tell you I can't take it anymore. I haven't had any of these rides in so long, I'm really itching to go."
The last time I went to an amusement park in my life was when I was in elementary school.
"Okay, as long as I can get them away, nothing else matters."
Secondly, I need you to secretly buy me flowers.
What flowers should I buy?
"Of course, it's roses. Go buy them before you ride the Ferris wheel tonight. I'll let you and the president go on the Ferris wheel first. I'll let Miko go in first, and then I'll put my hands behind my back and you can hand me the flowers."
"Oh my, where did you learn this technique?" Shiraishi Sawah seemed to have met a new Taichi Oki.
"I learned it online, hehe." Taichi Oki scratched his buzz cut and smiled a little embarrassedly. "Although Miko might not fall for this, it won't make things any worse."
"OK, no problem, leave this task to me."
The two continued to discuss the details and further refined the plan.
When it was eight o'clock, queuing was allowed at the entrance, but Shiraishi Sawa and Oki Taichi did not go forward because the two girls had not arrived yet. If they went to queue now, they would not be able to cut in line when the girls arrived, and they would be stuck in the middle.
Fortunately, the timing was good; it was a weekday and most schools had already started, so there weren't many people queuing up.
At 8:30, the two girls walked over with the performance team.
The queue had already grown to about a hundred people, which was quite a lot, but compared to the long queues during peak seasons, it was a very good result.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting again," Shimizu Yoshiko apologized.
“It’s like this again, Vice President Shimizu. This is the time we agreed on, which is perfect. It’s just that Shiraishi and I arrived too early. Let’s go queue up,” said Taiki Oki, standing up.
Shiraishi Zexiu nodded in agreement.
The four of them lined up at the very end of the queue. The staff maintaining order came forward to check their bags. Yomiuri Land allows people to bring their own water, but not food.
Today, Shiraishi Sawa was carrying a crossbody bag containing a bottle of drinking water, paper and pens, an umbrella, heatstroke first aid medicine, and change for buying items from vending machines.
At 8:50, the performance team that had been resting on the side stood up, and the order management personnel began to adjust the positions of the team, making room for the performance team.
As music started playing from the speakers at the entrance, the members of the group, dressed in unusual makeup, began to dance.
To be fair, the dance was a bit too young and was probably mainly for children. They even invited a few children who were in line to come up and interact with them.
As soon as the performance ended, the park officially began ticket checking, and the queue started to move slowly.
"President, is something troubling you?"
Seeing that Soga Kirei had been frowning from time to time since the beginning, Shiraishi Sawa asked.
"It's nothing." Suwo Wulian simply shook her head, but the slightly troubled expression on her face did not disappear.
"If you really have any problems, please ask me for help." That was all Shiraishi Zexiu could say; he didn't have the habit of asking follow-up questions.
“I will.” Suwo Wulian nodded.
Soon the four of them received their tickets, which listed most of the park's attractions. Each attraction had a small checkmark in front of it, allowing them to ride all the attractions for free. To use the ticket, they simply handed it to the ticket collector at each attraction and had him check it off.
The reason it's the vast majority of the attractions is that some attractions are closed due to seasonal reasons, and some attractions require additional payment. For example, bungee jumping requires an extra 1500 yen to play once.
However, Shiraishi Sawa is destined not to experience it today, since he is just a wingman whose character is to get dizzy when playing anything exciting.
After we play the roulette wheel later, we still have to pretend we're not good enough; we need to remember our mission.
If it were springtime, Shiraishizawa Hide would definitely choose to ride the roller coaster, because the area is surrounded by cherry blossom trees, and the roller coaster tracks weave through them. It must be beautiful to ride it when the flowers are in bloom, and you can experience a unique cherry blossom viewing trip amidst the screams of others.
Another distinctive feature of Yomiuri Land is its lighting. Basically, the handrails along the roadside and the surrounding vegetation are covered with a series of net-like neon light chains, but since it is daytime now, none of them are turned on yet.
The Yomiuriland is at its most beautiful and dazzling at night.
The Ferris wheel is the first attraction you'll see after entering, but there aren't many people queuing at this time. It's possible that most people have other attractions they want to go to first.
"President, do you want to play this? Is it okay to play?" Shiraishi Sawa only asked Soga Kiri Ren, because Oki Taichi and Shimizu Yoshiko's eyes had already lit up, so it must be fine.
“Sure, no problem.” Suwo Wulian nodded, then added as if she had thought of something, “I haven’t played these in a long time, I don’t know how it is, let’s give it a try first.”
"Have you gotten your period yet?" Today is the 21st, which, according to what we said last time, means that Soga Kirei is in the middle of her period.
"Not yet," Soga Kirei said, her voice lowering as if she felt ashamed to say this in public. "It might come a little later this month."
"That's good. Although I don't know if I can do these activities during my period, it's even better if I don't have my period."
The large turntable is a cylinder connected to a disc. The disc has a ring of positions. When it is running, in addition to the disc itself rotating clockwise, the entire system also rotates around the axis connecting the cylinder, resulting in a double rotation.
Shiraishi Sawa only suffers from mild motion sickness, which is why he was able to participate in this activity. If someone's motion sickness is more severe, they would basically start contemplating life after the ride.
After pulling down and securing the protective measures, Shiraishi Sawa felt a long-lost sense of excitement.
"Shiraishi-kun, do you really enjoy these thrilling activities?" Soga Kirei's eyes held a hint of probing and a touch of embarrassment.
“No, I don’t particularly like it, but it wouldn’t be good to spoil the mood of the minister and vice president right away, so let’s sit here for now.” Shiraishi Sawa said, keeping in mind the plan to ‘send away’ that he had agreed with Oki Taichi.
This is to prepare for the discomfort that may follow.
"Understood." Suwo Wulian nodded heavily, her eyes showing much relief.
Once everyone was ready, the staff exited the disc one by one.
The disc begins to move, first pulling it from the ground into the air, then shaking and circling, and finally starting to rotate on its own.
Shiraishi Sawa was completely unafraid, staring wide-eyed at the dizzying scenery; this was exactly the feeling he wanted.
Taichi Oki, standing next to her, screamed excitedly, and Yoshiko Shimizu also looked delighted.
Turning his head toward Soga Kirei, Shiraishi Sawa noticed that the girl's expression was not good. Her features were tightly furrowed, her eyes were closed, and the hand gripping the armrest was white where it was actually touching, indicating the force with which it was being squeezed.
"President!" Shiraishi Sawah shouted loudly in the air to Soga Kirei.
However, at this moment, all that could be heard was the sound of wind and screams, and Shiraishi Sawa's calls did not seem to reach Soga Kiri's ears, as the other party did not open her eyes.
Three minutes later, the giant spinning wheel finally came to a slow stop.
Once the protective chair was unlocked, Shiraishi Sawa pulled it open and immediately stood up to walk over to Soga Kirei. Thankfully, her complexion was still normal, not deathly pale, but she still asked immediately:
"President, are you alright?"
Soga Kirei still gripped the armrest tightly, and only slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Shiraishi Sawa's voice, her voice weaker than usual:
"It doesn't seem like a good idea."
Shiraishi Sawa quickly pulled open the protective barrier and helped the chairman up.
Taichi Oki and Yoshiko Shimizu also noticed the situation and quickly gathered around.
“It’s okay,” Soga Kirei said. “I’m fine, just a little dizzy.”
"When you were little, you had no problem playing these things, so why can't you play them now that you're older?" Shimizu Miko's face was full of worry as she quickly stepped forward to support Soga Kiri.
"It's been too long since I've played this game, so I might not be used to it now," Suwo Wulian said, looking down.
"How about we don't play today?" Shimizu Yoshiko asked.
"It's fine."
"It's fine."
Just as Taichi Oki's face showed a look of anxiety, Hideaki Shiraishi and Kirei Soga spoke at the same time.
However, one was weak and the other loud. After exchanging a glance, Shiraishi Zexiu chose to speak first:
"It's alright, let's keep playing. We've already spent so much money and time queuing, it would be such a waste to go back like this." He paused, knowing that this reason alone wasn't enough.
"And to be honest, I don't really like playing thrilling activities. I didn't want to spoil your fun because I saw that you were all fine. I'm a little dizzy now too, just not as good as the president."
If the president can't play like me, I can just lead them to some gentler activities.
Suwo Wulian nodded.
"I don't want to spoil everyone's fun."
Finally realizing what was happening, Taichi Oki said:
“That’s definitely better. Shiraishi mentioned this issue to me before.”
They gave him a thumbs up from behind.
Seeing that all three of them agreed, Shimizu Yoshiko had no objections. However, she still insisted on taking Soga Kirei to the infirmary in the amusement park first to check on her condition. Only if there were no problems could they continue.
Although Soga Kirei said several times that she was just a little dizzy, Shimizu Yoshiko didn't care at all.
Shimizu Yoshiko accompanied Soga Kirei into the infirmary, while Shiraishi Sawa and Oki Taichi sat on chairs outside the room chatting.
"My plan hasn't even been implemented yet, and the chairman has run into trouble first. I hope he's alright. If the doctor's examination shows it's not just a simple case of discomfort, we'll definitely have to wrap up early today," Shiraishi Zexiu said confidently.
