Sunny Ride

"Hehe, Midori, don't I look cute?" I grinned as I twirled around in my outfit. Midori just stared blankly. "I don't know... But I guess you look good in anything..." he said nonchalantly.

I pursed my lips, but then smiled. "That didn't help, but thanks anyway! We should head there now, we're gonna be late!" I spoke.

"Well, if we're late, it's probably because you were taking too long to choose an outfit...." Midori muttered, but of course I heard him. I pouted. "Alright, I'll be more prepared next time. Let's go!" I pulled his hand and we left the house after saying our goodbyes to Midori's parents.

After a bit, we arrived at the amusement park nearby and gathered at the stage there with the other RYUSEITAI members.

Chiaki was the first to notice us. "Oh! Takamine! (L/N)! Good Afternoon!" he waved energetically. Beside him is Kanata, also waving slowly at us. Tetora and Shinobu are also already there.

"Hello, (L/N)-senpai! I can't believe you actually accepted our offer to perform with us! This feels really exciting!" Tetora exclaimed. "Yes! It will be an honor to perform with you, (L/N)-sama!" Shinobu smiled.

I smiled at them. Yes, I will be performing with them today. RYUSEITAI had recently held a hero show here, and since it was very well received, they were invited to do a performance this time. To make it different, Chiaki even invited me to perform with them as a special guest.

"Looking forward to working with you guys! I've been practicing hard for this!" I beamed. "That's great~ hardworking people are very nice~" Kanata interrupted.

"I'm glad you're all very excited for this! But actually, even though we were told to gather here early, we still have 3 hours before the performance. I thought we had to set up the stage, but the workers already did it" Chiaki told.

I glanced at the stage beside us. It is decorated with colourful, hero-themed stuff. "I noticed it too. There are a lot less props since it's just a performance this time" Tetora mentioned.

"So, what are we gonna do for the next 3 hours? Why did I even come this early...?" Midori sighed. "Well, how about you kids go play~? We're at an amusement park, after all~" Kanata spoke.

Me, Tetora and Shinobu beamed. "That's a good idea! Id love to explore around!" I agreed. "Hehe. You guys are so cute when you're excited. Then, go and have fun~! I saw a nice fountain over there to puka puka~☆. I'll be there if you need me~" Kanata waved and immediately headed to the said fountain.

"Well, it's not a bad idea. I'm afraid I can't join you, though. I'd like to discuss stuff with Anzu. Maybe we can plan the next show!" Chiaki's eyes lit up. "Haha! I'll make sure to plan a good show for the next one! Until we meet later, everyone! Take care!" he smiled happily and headed to the stage where a bunch of staff are gathering.

"Ah, the seniors are gone. Should we head off too?" Shinobu turned towards us. "Let's go! I can't wait to try out the rides here!" I smiled, looking at the bigger rides deeper inside the amusement park.

"Then, let us be your guides! Hinata always brings me here, so I know a bunch of good rides!" Tetora mentioned excitedly. "A-ah, can I just find somewhere to sit? I'm tired" Midori spoke.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Hm? Why not join us? It'll be fun!" I offered, grabbing his arm. He bit his lips. "Ugh... fine, alright..." he nervously mumbled, looking at a roller coaster up ahead.

The roller coaster also caught my eye. "Do you want to ride that one, (L/N)-senpai? That one's quite fun!" Tetora asked.

I nodded. "Sure, why not? It seems like a good start! Let's head there!" I followed Tetora and Shinobu towards the roller coaster as I dragged Midori by his arm.
