Chapter 388 Roller Coaster Attack
Touko had a very big question mark on her head when Chinatsu suddenly said something incomprehensible. ‘Fun? Did she just say fun?’ She asked that question in her mind many times. In conclusion, Touko, who doesn’t know that Chinatsu loves thrill rides, decided to think that it was just her imagination. What she needs to do now is to be considerate.
「What, if I think about it carefully, it’s not a big deal. If I have a safety bar, I will ride anything.」
「Chinatsu!?」
Touko’s concern was shattered. She wanted to retort to the fact that she was treated as a safety bar, but more than that, she couldn’t hide her surprise at the unusual behavior of Chinatsu.
「O-Oi, are you really okay? Did you hit your head somewhere before?」
「Don’t worry, I feel great. In Japan, I was so fragile compared to the current me, but I still rode the roller coaster many times. Relatively speaking, considering that I am stronger than I was back then, this roller coaster isn’t a big deal. In the first place, the speed I feel is different from those days. I mean, I can run faster than the roller coaster now. You see, there was a thrill where my life would end if I fall, but to be frank, I can resist it with my own power now. In other words, the thrill is not enough. To satisfy me, the speed has to be twice as fast as this, added with rotations and ingenuity. Don’t you think so, Touko!?」
「N-No, I’m not good with thrill rides, so I can’t answer even if you ask me that….」
Touko has learned to be considerate under Lilyvia more than enough, but she has no idea what is the best answer in this situation. The only thinks she understands is that Chinatsu is extremely excited now.
「By the way, Touko, you said earlier that it’s okay even if I loosen my strength, right? Then, it’s okay to let go of my hands from your body, right? That’s what safety bars are for, right?」
「Haruna, this is bad! Something is wrong with Chinatsu!」
Touko, who was shaken by Chinatsu’s change, finally asked Haruna for help. But unfortunately, Touko’s voice didn’t reach Haruna due to the strong wind.
「Touko, calm down. I understand that you’re excited, but you need to keep yourself calm in order to truly enjoy it.」
「Seriously, what the hell are you talking about!? You suddenly became strange, you know!?」
「Just listen.」
「Gweh!」
Chinatsu put her hands on Touko’s both sides and forcibly changed the direction of her view. After that, Chinatsu pointed to a certain place and spoke to her with a calm voice. Of course, Chinatsu has abandoned clinging to Touko at this point. Touko was asked by Deris to support Chinatsu, but honestly, she’s not sure whether she can accomplish it.
「Can you see it? We are now on Rimudo-san’s tail. The violent wind and loud noise fueled the sense of crisis, and the tail’s bending further paralyzed our sense of direction. I told you, right? If you don’t stay calm, you can’t grasp the situation you’re in. If so, there’s no meaning in riding it.」
「I-I see…?」
She somehow understands the first half, but she still doesn’t understand the second half.
「The tail is the moving part, so the shaking is terrible. But on the other hand, if we get out of the tail and climb up to the body, it will be somewhat better. In other words, don’t stand still and keep climbing.」
「Ah, I see. It’s easier to understand if you say it like that. But wherever we go, this stupid wind and sound are still strong. How will you communicate with the two?」
「I will make letters with Reflect Fortress and send the message to them. After that, I will make an arrow and guide them to a safe route.」
「Letters… I see! …… No, wait. Can they read letters while riding this terrible thrill ride? I’m pretty sure I’d puke if it were me. Also, they’re still meaninglessly shouting at each.」
「Haruna’s been having a roller coaster-like survival for most of her life, so she can do that much easily. Also, with Haruna’s kinetic vision, she can read even if she’s riding a roller coaster, no matter how far it is. This has already been proven in Japan. I don’t know whether Hundo-san can read, but I’m sure he can guess Haruna’s intentions by watching her actions.」
「… Eh, ah, yeah. By the way, why did you do something like that in Japan?」

It seems that Haruna can read a long sentence as long as it’s not a difficult sentence. Then, Chinatsu used her Reflect Fortress and showed the letters of light in front of Haruna and Hund.
「Ah! Hund-kun, I got a message from Chinatsu-chan! Hmm? Oh, I see! Certainly! Then, I will go ahead!」
「Haruna! Something that looks like an instruction from Chinatsu has appeared! Let’s see… hou, umu! Got it! Then, I will act as a rearguard!」
The previous poor communication was like a lie. Haruna and Hund talked with their eyes, even though while shouting, and started to take action to fulfill their roles. The positioning has completed, and Haruna began to climb the tail. With Haruna at the front and Hund at the back, they lined up in a row like a roller coaster.
「Uwaah, they could read it and immediately took action. Don’t they have any concept of motion sickness or something like that?」
「It depends on your constitution. Even Nell-shishō seems to be weak, so there’s no need to be depressed by it, you know?」
「No, to be honest, that person doesn’t need to ride a vehicle…. Well, rather than that, is there any meaning why Haruna is at the front and Hund is at the back?」
「There is a lot. This way, it’s more exciting, right? I wanted the front seat if possible, but――」
「――Oi.」
「I’m half joking, of course.
「………」
Half. At this time, Touko painfully understands how hard it is to be one to make a retort every time. She understands, so she wants Chinatsu to return to her usual self.
「The other half of the reason is because tactically this is ideal. Look at Haruna.」
「Haruna? Ah, oi! I understand, so don’t forcibly move my face!」
A sword that looks at Yuna in front of herself without letting Senatsu grab her head. Then Yuna seemed to be doing something while screaming. Touko, trying not to let Chinatsu grab her head, looked at Haruna on her own.
「Hah! I will! Make! The way!」
She hits her fist against Rimudo’s dragon scales, hits, hits, hits, hits―― then, in Haruna’s path, there are hollows created where she could hang her fingers.
「You see, Haruna’s Unique Skill is very compatible with Hund-san. She’s clinging to Rimudo-san, so the distance doesn’t matter, and she always has power more than Rimudo-san. That’s why she can gouge the dragon scales that Hund-san couldn’t even scratch! No matter how much you have changed your ki to stickiness, there’s nothing better than a path that’s easy to climb, right? Even if something were to blow up from the direction we are going, the current Haruna is peerless. There is no one better to lead us.」
「Well, that’s true. Let’s see…」
Like digging out clay, Haruna created the way one after the other. Touko tries to put her hand on the newly made path. It’s very tough, but it’s easy to climb. It’s also just right to put her toes. She then reconfirmed that she couldn’t do this if it were her.
「O-Ooh, I see.」
Touko seems to be a little relieved that Chinatsu is still Chinatsu even if she’s like that.
「Woohooo! Go go go!」
