Book 1 - Epilogue - Amusement Park Date

Jake walked down the street with Fhesiah and Ophelia on each side of him, the time during sunset. The buildings that lined the streets were of a Victorian style, and the clothing the people walking the streets were wearing kind of matched, if any of them were actually human, Jake supposed. There were various beast-kin, elves, dwarves, and other fantasy style races that Jake was somewhat familiar with.

There were even magic-powered vehicles going up and down the streets, in some sort of magic steam-punk style. They had chosen their first destination after Odins visit, and plotted out this point on-the-way for some leisure time.

Jake and the girls were excited: they would now be able to do some activities that they were hoping for. This world was a [Bastion], a world that had been reclaimed from becoming contested, and was protected by a layer of other worlds that must be assaulted before this world could ever become contested again.nove(l)bi(n.)com

No incursions, and this particular world only contained wildlife or monsters that did not surpass Tier 0. [The Framework] blocked people that were inducted from fighting or killing other inducted, and so it was like they had a trusted police officer escorting them anywhere they went; this world was even safer than modern Earth, at least for them.

Because of that, Jake and the girls could easily relax and enjoy everything this tourist city offered, for a time. They had chosen this world also because it was close enough to modern Earth for Jakes liking, and it had several of the destinations that they were interested in. They were now arriving at the entrance to an amusement park.

Jake hadnt gotten to go to many of these while he was younger, but he had lucked out and gone with a friend once. He certainly didnt have the fortune of bringing two beautiful girls with him that time, so he was just as excited as they were about new experiences. Though after they paid some [Tier 0 Credits], Fhesiah was doubtful.

Fhesiah said, Jake, I thought you said those roller-coasters were fast. If you wanted to move at that speed, you could just ride me instead. Then once weve done that enough, we could fly through the air together.

Jake just smiled and shook his head at her antics, but said, Well do that later. For now, lets check out the Ferris wheel, or whatever they call it here, first. They stood in line and got in the box together, which Ophelia nabbed the side next to Jake, with Fhesiah across from them; the benches were too small for them all to sit together. As the box reached the top, they took in the view, which included all the lighting of houses and the park itself and the beautiful sunset.

Wow thats really pretty with all the lights. Ophelia was especially moved and awed by it. Jake had gotten out of his seat and put his arms around both of the girls from the middle of the two and said, Take a look and note the things that look interesting to you, and we can see them later. Over there, they even have a small aquarium we can check out, and there are many snacks and things we can get all over the park.

Jake and the girls checked out the aquarium, and also took the largest roller coaster that was at the park. They all grabbed several snacks, and Jake noted the foods they were interested in; after all, he could cook some of them for the girls later.

The valkyrie was just bursting with excitement the entire time, and enjoyed all the activities that they did, especially the carnival style games.

Look, Jake, they have that gun thing we see in the movies! I wanna shoot one!

Jake could tell they rigged things even further for superhumans like her, but she still managed to win several games and won several stuffed animals, which Jake carried on display rather than putting in his storage bracelet, for now. Jake tried to win something for her too, but he just couldnt manage it. Ophelia was just beaming at competing in the games, and Fhesiah just enjoyed watching her and Jake, but joined them for several games as well.

Id love to fly with you. Though, I cant fly just yet

Ill just carry you. You know, Prince-carry. Ill take my Prince into the sky. Its a date.

Wasnt it a princess carry? Jake sighed, but he couldnt help but look forward to it. Just who doesnt want to fly in the sky? The boat floated through another section, and the lighting became quite dark. Eventually, they saw thousands of small lights, making up stars like those in the sky.

So pretty

Jake said, Yeah But Jake wasnt looking at the stars. He was looking at the beautiful battle angel, and thinking how lucky he was, to finally be able to travel the multiverse with her and enjoy special times and make memories like this. Of course, those feelings carried right over the bond, and she looked over to see him staring right at her. She snorted, Jake, youre such a dork. That was such a lame line. But those feelings make up for it

Ophelia kissed Jake, which was Jakes plan all along. They kissed as the boat floated through a sea of stars, and then moved to what looked like crystal mines, where crystals of various colors were jutting out of stone walls. Wow those are really pretty too

The ride ended, and Jake headed over to purchase pictures from both his rides, while Ophelia said, That was good, but they should include something where you fight a dragon. Id be the knight, and fight the dragon and save the Prince, my Jakey, before we fly through the clouds, and then drift through a sea of stars. Id have enjoyed that better.

Jake just wryly smiled at that. Somehow both girls had managed to add, or want to add, combat to an event that wasnt meant to have it.

Surprisingly, Fhesiah ended up enjoying the roller-coaster, along with Jake and Ophelia. She joked about enjoying everyone screaming in fear as they enjoyed the ride, or at least Jake hoped she was joking anyway. Still, if Jake guessed by her emotions, even though she could probably swoop down while flying just as fast, she still enjoyed riding in the cart and moving as quickly and erratically as the coaster does. Ophelia enjoyed it just the same, screaming along with everyone else during the big drops.

Overall, it was a great day. Jake was thinking about all the things that they had done at the end of the night back at their [Refuge], and looking at the photos they purchased and some that they had taken.

Ophelia said, The aquarium was more fun than I thought it would be. Do you think you could cook that fish that looked like a spiral? It reminds me of that pasta you make, Jake. Jake just shook his head and smiled. Of course, she would use the aquarium to shop for something to eat, despite having three not-quite-turkey legs while they were in the park. Ill check into it. My cooking skill is nearly five already from all the stuff Ive been cooking since getting the magic stove. Soon, even if its poisonous I should be able to make it quite edible.

Ophelia gave him a sly, teasing look. Thanks, daddy! You take such good care of me! She gave him a full body hug as Jake blushed in embarrassment, and Fhesiah was just beaming to see Jake getting teased once again. Did they work this out together? Jake didnt like where this was going. The demoness was clearly corrupting his little girl-er, his girl! That damned demon!

Fhesiah said, Aw, Wifey, dont get mad, its all in good fun. Lets go someplace a little more relaxing next time. You said you wanted to do this camping thing? I dont see how thats different from the dungeon, or just being homeless, but Im sure we could find a waterfall next to a lake or something that should be enjoyable for everyone. You and I can pitch your tent, and Ophelia can go fishing and hunting. We can cook up the meat, then we can build the tent thing or whatever. Now, I think I was promised a ride?

Jake couldnt help but laugh. The demoness was getting to be too much. At any rate, today was a fun day, and Jake was glad that there were going to be many more ahead of them as they explored the Multiverse.
