Episode 103: That which interrupts my promise with my Imouto

"I'm looking forward to Emotional Studio Japan."

"Really?"

"Yes!!"

The next day, we took a short trip to the amusement park and got on the train.

Emotional Studio Japan is a theme park where you can thoroughly enjoy the world of foreign movies. Recently, collaborations with world-famous anime and games have been held, and seasonal events have been held, making it even more popular.

Commonly known as ESJ, it records millions of visitors a year, and that record is increased every year. The train also has an ESJ specification, and it raises the expectations of those who ride it.

"Enjoy."

Nanami, is natural, but Shia also seems to be looking forward to the amusement park as well. It seems that she has never been to an amusement park before, so she seems to be nervous because it will be her first time.

Her ahoge grows and shrinks in the shape of a heart, as if it were beating.

In the end, we spent May 1st to 3rd on dungeon exploration and reporting, so we ended up coming on the 4th, which would be quite crowded.

Then, after about 30 minutes of being shaken by train, we arrived at the nearest station to ESJ. At each station, more and more people boarded and by the time we arrived, it was almost full.

"There are too many people!!"

"That's right. Is this the only place around here? There are so many people."

"Maybe. There's no place to hang out around here other than here."

When we were about to get off, all the other passengers on board also got off. We don't go against the flow and walk towards the exit of the station. Climb the stairs, and gradually see the light outside.

"Ah, it's that one!!"

"It's Emotional Studio Japan!!"

"Hmm."

The entrance gate of ESJ is already visible in front of the exit of the station. Both sides of the road were lined with various shops such as restaurants, apparel shops, and home appliance mass retailers.

Other than us, most of the people who got off here went straight down the road and lined up at the entrance gate of ESJ. Even though the park had not yet opened, many people had already gathered in front of the gate.

"After all, it's the middle of Golden Week, so it's crowded."

"It can't be helped."

I grumbled, and Nanami shrugged her shoulders next to me.

"Did you plan properly?"

"Yeah, it's perfect."

On the day I came back from the dungeon after being pestered by Nanami, I bought a one-day ticket and the highest FASTPASS, which allows us to enjoy attractions with a shorter wait time.

If we use it, we should be able to ride to some extent.

"Well then, let's go around in the order you want to ride the most."

"Okay!!"

"Is that okay with Shia?"

"Hmm. Leave it to you."

After checking with Shia, we line up at the entrance gate and kill time while listening to Nanami talk about ESJ. After about an hour, the park finally opened and the line started to move.

"We can finally enter."

"Yeah, I want to go quickly!!"

Fifteen minutes later we were finally able to go inside.

"Onii-chan!! Take a picture, take a picture."

As soon as we entered, Nanami jumped up and down in front of the ESJ symbol marked object.

"Okay, okay. Wait."

I held up the expensive-looking camera I had around my neck.

I bought this camera yesterday to capture Nanami on the way back from visiting the Explorers' Union with Shia. I'm not going to say how much it was because that's rude.

"I'm taking the picture!!"

"Okay~!!"

"Yes, cheese!!"

Nanami waved when I shouted, so I pressed the shutter. I think I was able to take a good picture.

"I took it!!"

"Then, the first one is definitely Super Santendo World!!"

Super Santendo World is a section with attractions in collaboration with a game company called Santendo. Nanami often played the company's games, including the SWOTCH.

That's why she intended to go around from Super Santendo World, where you can experience as if you were in that world.

We follow Nanami's lead and start walking towards Super Santendo World.

However ...

-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!

On the way there, a loud siren resounded in the park.

"Huh? Huh? What? What on earth is that?"

Nanami was shaken by the sudden loud noise and looked around restlessly. Visitors other than us also stop and look around.

[ Too all of you who came to Emotional Studio Japan, this is an urgent message. A Stampede has occurred in the 'Beast Cave' Dungeon near our park. Please evacuate according to the instructions of the staff. Please move calmly without panicking or making noise. I repeat ... ]

Information on the Dungeon Stampede was given by the park broadcast. Immediately, the staff scattered around the park and began to evacuate visitors.

"Eeh~! Even though we finally came all the way here!!"

Meanwhile, Nanami shouted with tears in her eyes.
