4-51: Not Related to Wonderland (3/5)

If you understand, then hurry up and go! We only have so much time, so hurry up and go play while we can!

It was curious if Frire was scolding them or urging them to play, but regardless, there was a gentleness to her voice despite the angry face she wore.

Shinichi and Myuhi noticed that, but they didnt mention it and just said okaaay and chuckled.

Though they were the last students to pass through the gate, the moment they did, they became residents of wonderland as well.

Shinichi may be a returnee from a world of fantasy, but there was a difference in the charm and worth of the real and the fake.

Perhaps thats why he showed a twinkling in his eyes befitting his age, nay, perhaps even younger.

Welcoming them was a brilliant performance by the costumed staff.

And all the buildings and structures were made to entertain, none of the sort that could be found in the real world.

It was this sort of vibrant scenery brought to life from imagination that charmed people so.

Myuhi and Shinichi were still by the gate, yet the happiness and passion in the air was already enough to make Shinichis cheeks loosen.

Among the crowd were some more excited than the rest. They were likely students of the academy.

Their excited faces put a smile on Shinichi, and oh, what a gentle a smile it was.

Myuhi found such a smile ill fit his age, but it was so warm an expression that even she found her own cheeks loosening, and before she knew it, all of her attention was on him.

Fu fu, just how old are you really? Itd be one thing if you made a fatherly expression, but sometimes you even look like youre looking at your grandchildren.

Myuhi walked alongside him and laughed as she pointed that out.

Understandably, Shinichi made a glum face and groaned.

Unu G-Grandpa? At least say Im the big brother or something.

But youre the youngest one here!

Myuhi laughed as she reminded him of that little tidbit and then walked beside him to enjoy his glum face.

Alas, he was indeed the youngest, so there was no way for him to refute her.

Hmm?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

And then Myuhi realized something strange, they have been walking for awhile now, and yet Shinichi never once left her eyes.

Myuhi had a short stature even for a woman, so her steps were much smaller compared to others, and yet, despite not taking bigger steps or walking faster, her steps were almost identical with Shinichis.

Curious, she looked down at his feet, and lo and behold, his feet were moving to match hers.

Her eyes twinkled.

Now that she thought back to it, this was the case back then at Tokyo Tower too.

Realization dawned on her, and without intending to, Myuhi found herself scratching her cheeks.

At the same time, her tail started swaying wildly, her ears innocently rising and falling.

From time to time, their mouths would move in a way that suggested they were saying something in displeasure, but no sound would come out.

That was a non-combat-skill used to restrict a person from talking. The people behind the creation of the skill didnt have any specific purpose in mind when they made it and just did so because they could, but its a skill often used to silence noisy kids.

What did they do this time? Myuhi said.

Wanna take a look?

As Shinichi said that, he showed her his foster on which the area around them was being shown from a slightly higher vantage point.

There was a hidden surveillance camera disguised as an object here.

But Shinichi found it immediately and hacked it to show the video feed on his foster. It was a move sorely lacking in common sense, and Myuhis head would normally ache because of that, but this was Icchi, so she just dropped the matter and watched the video with him.

To think they were lacking this much common sense. Apparently, I underestimated them.

Good grief.

Shinichi and Myuhi dropped their shoulders and sighed.

When they realized that they had still underestimated Aristels hardships, they couldnt help but be sympathetic.

After all, when Aristel tried to line up for the Tornado Mountain, those two head servants of hers casually tried to get ahead of the queue, so Aristel had to apologize to everyone with a red face while scolding the two.

Apparently, they had no intention of acknowledging that this was Earths Japan.

Regardless of the place, they believed that Aristel should always be prioritized over everyone else and should be given preferential treatment. Aristel finally couldnt take it and used a skill to make them quiet.

In other words, they werent waiting there for their master, they were being made to stand as punishment.

Shinichi didnt know if it was just his imagination, but Aristel seemed desperate when she yelled at the two.

Hina, sorry, but

Let me guess, you want to pull Ari-chan away from those servants of hers, am I right?

Shinichi wanted Aristel to at least be free here, and as it turns out, Myuhi shared his sentiments.

Tell her to play in her usual getup. I could tell her myself, but that could be a problem too.

Shinichi didnt mind being hated, but that hate might carry over to the Earthlings, and that would be problematic.

Unfortunately, with these servants of hers, such worries werent unfounded.

Okay, Icchi. Where will you be going?

For the meantime, Ill be going to the castle in the eastern area Theres someone I cant afford to run into.

You talking about Yoppis group, right?

Yeah, right now, they should be in

With the video on his terminal already changed, Shinichi read the name.
