They were walking in the Gold Bee Amusent Park.
The giant Ferris wheel slowly rotated, each cabin shining with a warm glow, like the brightest stars in the night sky.
And on every amusent ride, a prominent golden bee logo could be seen.
Loren felt even more nervous than Almis.
The current navigation plan was to move from the East District to the North District, because Juliana was in the North District. After parting with the Bingxue Witch, they would head to the North District to find Juliana, then take Juliana to the West District, part ways again, and et up with Florence waiting in the West District to head South. By touring the Gold Bee Amusent Park in this counterclockwise pattern, the three would never be in the sa district and could maximize the conservation of their path.
"Almis, did you know? This amusent park is actually a subsidiary of the Crown Casino, which makes it more addictive than an ordinary amusent park."
Loren looked at the Gold Bee Amusent Park and introduced it to Almis.
The ntor instructed him to actively find topics to talk about and avoid awkward silences.
He believed that as a Priest, the Bingxue Witch, like him, rarely visited amusent parks.
"So have you been here before?"
The Bingxue Witch asked with so interest.
"Been here once."
Loren nodded.
"With whom, was it a girl?"
The Bingxue Witch keenly identified the key point.
"!"
At that mont, Loren suddenly realized he had stumbled into a trap with just a few words.
He couldn't tell a lie.
The Bingxue Witch's every sentence didn't seem like a trap, but her next sentence could very possibly turn the previous one into a trap.
[ntor: It was a girl, but there were also boys that ti.]
The ntor reminded him.
"It was a girl, but there were also boys that ti."
Loren felt as if the ntor had just saved his life.
The last ti he ca to the Gold Bee Amusent Park, indeed, the ntor was accompanying him.
So he could say this with a clear conscience.
Loren didn't know how the ntor could instantly think of such an honest explanation.
"So, you're saying today's your first ti coming to the Gold Bee Amusent Park on a date alone with a girl?"
The Bingxue Witch listened and said to Loren.
"..."
Loren was sweating again.
The Bingxue Witch seed to know what's going on.
If it weren't for the ntor today, he would have been completely handled by the Bingxue Witch.
[ntor: First, show a confident expression, write the answer on your face, then tell her, the prerequisite is she thinks today is a date.]
"The prerequisite is, you think today is a date."
Loren calmly smiled and replied.
"... You can take it that way."
The Bingxue Witch pursed her lips.
Leaving such an intriguing statent.
Loren used his expression to brush over the hard-to-answer question, leaving her to guess, then threw back a difficult question to her. If she avoided it or went back to the previous question, it would make her seem shy and caught off guard.
Thus, she could only blur the question.
The two continued to walk forward.
At this mont, across the sky.
A figure in a baseball cap happily sailed past on the roller coaster traversing the Northeast District of the Gold Bee Amusent Park.
"Ahahaha."
Hyperion looked at the amusent park facilities, unsure of what to play next.
Miss Florence was temporarily free, so she didn't have to keep an eye on her and could find sothing fun to pass the ti.
Just then, while looking at the track where the ground flashed quickly, her eyes beca puzzled.
"Eh, why is Dean Loren with Teacher Almis today?"
Hyperion scratched her head.
Did she see it wrong?
Dean Loren should be on a date with Miss Florence.
...
The North District, filled with enchanting Magic Lanterns and lively, cheerful music, saw Lanci sitting by the window seat of a beverage shop, ending a call and leaning back in his chair.
Talia had gone out to buy cotton candy, and now he was waiting for her to return.
"Hiss..."
He had a look of having gone through an intense exam, pinching his brow.
"What's wrong, ow."
The Cat Boss jumped onto his knee, then leapt onto his shoulder, asking.
It found Lanci was more nervous than expected.
"Why do I feel like helping Loren in dealing with the Bingxue Witch is so difficult?"
Lanci rembered the Bingxue Witch not being this type.
"Maybe Miss Almis is just really good."
The Cat Boss, sharing the sa frequency as Lanci, had silently listened to Lanci and Loren's conversation from the shadows, aware of Loren's situation.
Florence had given up easily.
Juliana remained as unpredictable as ever.
The Bingxue Witch, however, was full of subtleties and a suppressive force.
"I won't think about it, ti to help him deal with Juliana soon."
Lanci patted his face, deciding to focus and stay alert.
He took a sip of coffee, looking at the spacious view outside, relaxing his visual nerves.
Once Tata returned, he would accompany her to enjoy food and fun again.
"Hey, Lanci, look, ow."
The Cat Boss, glancing outside, seed to see sothing unbelievable and used its paw to tap Lanci's cheek.
"What?"
Lanci found everything normal outside.
Talia hadn't returned yet, nor did Sigrid launch a surprise attack.
"Up there, ow."
The Cat Boss's voice trembled, reminding him.
"What's up there?"
Until he looked up outside, a habitual instinct made his sight fix on the figure far across on the roller coaster, his pupils contracted quickly.
"Why, why is Hyperion at the Gold Bee Amusent Park today!"
In an instant, Lanci spotted Hyperion's familiar figure, trembling with the coffee in his hand.
He not only had to help Loren coordinate with three separate lines, but also had to track Loren's itinerary in real-ti, enjoy with Talia, prevent Sigrid's sudden assault, and now avoid Hyperion.
"ow, why don't we just throw in the towel, ow?"
The Cat Boss didn't dare to watch Lanci continue playing.
It seed everything was still functioning smoothly, but perhaps so gear sowhere was already sparking.
"No worries, no worries."
Despite starting to sweat from his forehead, Lanci felt the situation was still within his tolerance.
He had long planned for plenty of backup to deal with multiple contingencies.
He was working hard in his mind to plan a route that minimized risks. Ti managent and spatial planning joined at a higher dinsion, even as his brain increasingly ran on overclock, he continued to execute his multitasked operations.
...
Far at the North District Boundary.
8:27 AM.
Loren and the Bingxue Witch lingered in the crowd.
The amusent projects seed like the entrances to mysterious worlds, inviting them to experience unknown fun and adventures.
"Almis, my friend said they'd send over so Golden Bee Coins, so we can directly enjoy the gas that consu these coins."
Loren looked at the long queues for the popular attractions and said.
Gas with zero consumption of Golden Bee Coins were the most popular, but required queueing, whereas gas requiring Golden Bee Coins had much shorter lines.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
The Bingxue Witch had great patience, waving to Loren.
Around them were laughter, cheers, and the sounds of chanical gas in operation.
Loren turned away.
According to the ntor's request, he had brought the Bingxue Witch to the border of the East and North Districts and found a reason to leave. Now he just had to bring Juliana to the West District, and then he could find Florence there.
This seemingly extre maneuver was surprisingly calm for him to execute; the ntor had already planned every step he needed to take.
In the distance, a gray-haired girl holding two crepes suddenly stopped, dropping the crepes to the ground.
Her expression was full of confusion.
"Eh, how co Loren and Almis are playing together today?"
Talia scratched her head.
She was sure Loren was on a date with Juliana.
But it seed like she had stumbled into a parallel universe, seeing Loren on a date with her friend Almis instead?
