An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

These beauties always attract everyone's attention on the street, but it is not so serious in this amusement park.

Although their beauty and Myuu's adorable, innocently happy appearance certainly attracted attention, people simply looked at them with warm eyes or sympathetic smiles and walked away without stopping to watch.

No wonder.

Because this is a famous theme park. People come here to temporarily escape from reality and daily life and pursue a wonderful dreamlike time.

In this amusement park, most people wear character headbands, face paint, or stickers. There are also cosplay groups, and people dressed in character costumes are everywhere. Given this, it's no surprise that there are a lot of beautiful women in the park.

Everywhere you look, there are cheers, screams of excitement, sound effects, and music. And there are also various rides waiting for visitors to try them out.

Everyone is here to make wonderful memories with their family, friends or lovers. And since it is Christmas, everyone is concentrating on enjoying themselves.

"Haha, Yue is really like a little kid, always looking around."

"...Stupid Kaori, go die."

Being teased by Kaori, Yue knew her own limitations and her cheeks turned red.

Watching the two interact like this, Hajime's eyes lit up with a smile. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he reached out to Shia.

"Shia."

“Really…? Eh? Whoa, what are you doing!?”

Shia quickly held her head down as Hajime suddenly removed the earmuffs she had been using as a disguise. Of course, after removing the earmuffs, Shia's furry bunny ears were revealed.

"I think there's no need to hide here. Instead, you should show it off."

"Show off your fluffy bunny ears, which you're so proud of." Hajime said with a smile. Shia was taken aback for a moment, then a delighted expression appeared on her face. She puffed out her chest, and her bunny ears also straightened.

"Yeah, that makes sense. After all, this really does feel like a different world. Remia, you should take it off too."

"Yeah. I remember there were mermaid-themed rides here, too."

Tio gently stroked Remia's ear and removed her earring. Shizuku also smiled and said to Myuu, pointing to her own ear.

Remia seemed a little embarrassed and shrugged shyly. Myuu took off her earrings.

Then, the mother and daughter's emerald-gold hair changed to emerald green at the same time, and their ears became shaped like fish fins, returning to their original appearance as mermaid women from another world.

Moreover, today Myuu was wearing a fluffy red and white coat and hat, a miniskirt and white tights that looked very warm. The short boots on her feet were decorated with white fur, like soft snow.

In other words, she was dressed like a little Santa Claus. Or rather, a Christmas mermaid girl.

She is so cute like this.

Hajime gently put Myuu down. "Hmm?" Myuu tilted her head in confusion. At the same time, Hajime whipped out his phone to capture her, his movements as fluid as pulling out a Donner and firing.

After the photoshoot, he casually lifted Muu up again, letting her sit astride his shoulders. His movements were so natural and swift that no one except Yue and the others would have noticed.

"Master, if that's the case, I can at least show my wings—"

"No, it's too much of a nuisance."

“Huh!? That’s too much… But, I got my first one of the day, so good!”

Seeing that Hajime seemed very satisfied, Tio was eager to follow suit, but Hajime stopped her with the speed of a gun-drawing duel.

Meanwhile, Kaori, who was about to transform into Angel Mode to play the role of an angel, fell silent. Yue-sama was chuckling, poking her flank with his fingertips.

However, Hajime said it wasn't the wings themselves that were a hindrance, but rather the clothing. Tio was wearing a fashionable knitted coat, and there was no way she could let the wings poke through her clothes.

"Ah, if you don't mind, how about letting you wear these?"

Aiko said this, pulling out some animal ear ornaments from her bag. There were many different kinds, some even had antennae, like they belonged to butterflies.

"Pick the one you like!"

"Aiko, how do you have all this?"

"I just saw someone selling it at the entrance and couldn't resist buying it!"

Aiko said this with a smile, while putting on what looked like bear ears, posing like a bear and imitating the sound of "roar~".

It seems that Aiko is the one who is most looking forward to the amusement park and is the most relaxed.

The children passing by were all smiling at her. Hajime and the others looked at her with eyes filled with warmth and love. Even Myuu's smile to her was especially gentle.

So Aiko became shy and took off the bear ear decoration silently with a red face.

"...Sorry, I'm too excited. The last time I went to an amusement park was during a field trip back when I was a student... and back then, it was a bit awkward getting along with my classmates... And since I've been out in the world, I haven't had many opportunities to go to places like this... And our school's field trips don't even go to amusement parks..."

"I, I understand. Don't say anything more. Just have fun today and don't worry."

"…………hey-hey."

It seemed like Aiko really loved amusement parks. She shyly put on the bear ears again, and with her natural baby face, she looked like a real child, which warmed the hearts of Hajime and the others.

"So, where should we go first?"

Yue and the others simultaneously unfolded their guidebooks. They had all researched their favorite spots beforehand, and they all seemed equally excited.

No, not everyone was the same. One person's excitement was even more unusual.

"Yes! Yes! I want to go to the souvenir shop first!"

The voice was loud. The attitude was agitated. And the eyes were bloodshot. It was Liliana.

"What are you talking about... Generally speaking, souvenirs are the last thing to buy."

"That's fine! I'm not buying it anyway!"

"Then why are you going there!?"

"Eh? You even need to ask? Of course it's market research!"

"Thank you so much for adding a sense of reality to this paradise filled with dreams and fantasies!"

Yue and the others tilted their heads in confusion, not understanding what Liliana meant. Liliana excitedly explained it to them, speaking loudly.

"It's unbelievable! My common sense has been completely shattered in just a few days! This world is truly a treasure island, a treasure trove! The economic scale is tens, hundreds of times larger than Todas, needless to say; even better yet... the culture is so diverse! They can actually build several such large-scale facilities just for the purpose of entertainment! How many tourists enter? What is the estimated annual revenue? I see it! I see it too! If we bring just a small part of this world's culture back to Todas and monopolize it as a state-owned enterprise, it will definitely bring enormous benefits and development! Hahahaha! Damn Emperor, you've taken advantage of our country's revival to do all sorts of tricks to seize power, but now is the only time you can be so arrogant! Our country's economy and culture will overwhelm everything! And—"

"Aiko."

“It’s — ‘Soul Calming’!”

Liliana spread her arms and laughed loudly like a demon king. A soothing magic from the Age of Gods was cast upon her, and her entire body glowed faintly.

Today's weather was beautiful, and no one would have noticed the magical glow beneath the dazzling sunlight. However, the princess's sudden loss of expression, her stern expression, was completely unconcealed. From a normal perspective, this change looked like someone with unstable emotions, a terrifying prospect.

"Mom, Dad, that person—" a passing child pointed at Liliana and said. "Shh! Don't look over there!" "Someone, get some staff!" The child's parents quickly stopped them, picked him up, and quickly left.

"Sorry, I got a little overexcited."

"It's not 'a little' at all. I completely lost my mind just now."

"...This princess is such a princess."

"B-After all, Lily is always on edge, just like on the battlefield, and it's the same with national politics, right?"

Liliana nodded silently at Shizuku's words of support. Kaori and Remia, filled with sympathy, wept.

"Lily... We must have suffered a lot in terms of the kingdom's restoration and diplomacy since we returned..."

“Oh my, oh my, why is it so hard? She’s just a teenager…”

"Myuu knows this! People like this are called 'corporate slaves', right?"

"Master, I think you should see her more often."

"...I'm currently exploring ways to convert electricity into magic power...I'll speed up my research."

Hajime knew Liliana must be working very hard over there, perhaps even excessively; but it seemed the hardships she endured were still beyond their imagination. That expression was definitely not that of a fifteen-year-old girl, but rather that of a seasoned office worker.

It was the same now. These family members were all concerned about her, and although she had completely calmed down due to magic, her eyes were still observing the movements of the tourists.

This princess is in trouble. We need to think of a solution quickly...

Hajime and the others looked at each other, and everyone nodded to each other in agreement.

"Okay, where are we going to play?"

Hajime deliberately showed more excitement than before, and Yue and the others responded excitedly, "Here~!"

In order to help this girl who has forgotten how to enjoy entertainment with an entertainment heart regain the heart to enjoy entertainment.

Oh theme park! Oh sacred festival! Give us strength!

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"A game that puts the power of life and death in the hands of others is fundamentally wrong."

About an hour later, Liliana collapsed on a bench beside the park, her head resting on Hajime's right leg. Meanwhile, on his left leg lay—

“Hajime-san… I’m so sorry…”

It was Remia. Unlike Liliana, who was a bit awkward, she seemed a little ashamed. Not only was she lying on someone else's lap in public, but the hand gently caressing her head made her feel even more embarrassed.

"No, we're wrong. We shouldn't keep riding thrilling rides just to try to get Lily back to normal."

"Um... Mr. Hajime? My mind has always been normal from the beginning."

"How was that store you visited just now?"

"The price is too high! Perhaps it's due to the venue cost, but—"

"So you haven't recovered yet..."

"Oh my, oh my~ Oh hehe~"

Remia couldn't help but laugh. Actually, they were already under a healing spell, so they weren't feeling any discomfort. But she still wanted to rest a bit, so she sat by and watched while Myuu and the others went to the rides.

Liliana was lying on Hajime's lap simply because she wanted to act coquettish. She'd seen a couple doing this on the street earlier, and she seemed envious. Remia, standing nearby, also kept stealing glances, so Hajime forced her into a hug as well. Judging by her expression, his judgment was probably correct.

"Come to think of it, with twenty centimeters more height, the impression I have of him is definitely completely different."

At this moment, the amusement facility in front of us just finished this round of operation.

It's a pirate ship-style ride that spins in a full circle, and the passengers coming off it all look a bit dizzy and staggering.

Myuu was among them, surrounded by Yue and the others, jumping around with a beaming smile on her face, looking genuinely happy. This made the difference even more apparent. She was much taller than usual.

Some of the amusement park's rides had height restrictions, especially the thrilling ones. It would be a shame if Myuu was the only one unable to ride, so before everyone left, they used Transformation Magic to increase her height.

Myuu felt like a big sister, and was very happy about it. She looked so cute that she didn't notice the height change at the time.

However, now, looking at it from a distance like this, even though I know that this change is only temporary, I can't help but feel the same way as a parent, "feeling grateful for my daughter's growth."

"It'll keep changing. Girls grow so fast. Both physically and mentally."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, that's it. Are you happy, honey?"

Remia, still lying on Hajime's lap, looked up at him and asked. Hajime gently brushed her hair away from her eyes and shrugged.

"Of course I'm happy... No, I lied a little. If I grow up too quickly, I might still feel a little sad. It's better to grow up a little slower."

"Oh my, oh my, ♪ But, I'm afraid such a wish won't come true."

"Hmm? Why?"

"Because she wants to grow up quickly so she can become someone's bride."

"..."

"Children like this will definitely grow up very quickly."

"Ah~! Mom is lying on Dad's lap~! I'm so envious~!" Such a shouting voice came from the distance.

Remia stood up and waved to her daughter who was running towards them, while giving a playful glance to Hajime who was standing beside her.

"Are you happy, husband?"

Remia asked the same question, but the meaning seemed different from before.

So, Hajime had no choice but to use his family's special skill. "Huh? What did you say?" It was the standard Hero's skill, "Perfectly timed sudden deafness." Although he was usually called the Demon King, there was nothing wrong with using a Hero's skill once in a while.

"Aiya aiya~ Oh hehe~" Of course, Remia responded with a cheerful laugh. And then—

"...What's this atmosphere like? Am I a light bulb?"

The conversation and atmosphere between Hajime and Remia made it difficult for others to intervene. Although the princess was lying on the other thigh, she was unable to move and was deeply shaken.

"Are mom and Lily-nee okay?"

"It's okay, Myuu. Seeing you having fun cheers me up."
