Chapter 308 – Merry-Go-Round (2)
‘Luna Land’.
America, Japan, Korea, etc.
It is like a landmark that exists at least once in any country that is classified as an advanced country.
‘Luna Elodie’, a first-generation American hunter and called the Archmage.
It is a masterpiece of conversion and a legacy that she devoted herself to in her later years.
Around the time when the era of chaos is over and gradually stability begins to be restored.
It is said that she burned her last soul to create this amusement park.
The reason is that her memory of going to her amusement park as a child and playing remained the happiest moment of her life.
“Memories of childhood… , It’s good.”
About 10 years ago, Luna Land entered Korea.
The time when I was on good terms with Han Joo-hee, when Seo-yeon still followed me around saying ‘Daddy, Dad!’
My wife and I, who couldn’t overcome the torch of her daughter-in-law who insisted on going to Luna Land, said that they had come here to play, holding her daughter-in-law’s hand one by one in each hand.
“I really enjoyed it then.”
Seo-yeon wept bitterly because she was too short to ride her roller coaster.
She was Seo-yeon, who laughed as she jockeyed here and there in a bumper car.
Seoyeon puffed out her cheeks for stealing a bite of ice cream and said, ‘I won’t marry my dad when I grow up!’
The figure of the young daughter is engraved all over the amusement park.
“… It’s a new feeling to come back.”
She thought she would never come again.
Her daughter-in-law has become cold for some reason, and her wife is so busy that it’s hard to see her face even once.
So she thought she would never come here again.
She never thought she would come back.
“I waited a long time… ?”
Even with my grown-up daughter.
“… No. I just arrived.”
Shaking his head at the concerned question, he scanned her up and down.
The guy who used to wear only jeans and a white tee every day has dressed up quite a bit today.
From blue pants that show off the leg line, to off-the-shoulder blouses that show off the shoulders and collarbones.
Fashion that seems like something you should wear when you go out with a cool guy or boyfriend.
It’s pretty, it’s pretty… , Something burdensome.
“My clothes… , Strange?”
Oops.
Looks like my gaze was too blatant.
“It’s not like that. It just catches my eyes because you look so different than usual.”
“Oh, I see.”
“If you feel bad…”
I was going to say I’m sorry
“Ugh, no.”
Seoyeon first shakes her head, just like her lightly smiling face.
Fortunately, she didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.
“Shall we go in?”
“Yes, it is.”
She shows the pre-booked mobile ticket on her smart phone, puts a thin sash around her bracelet, and finally enters the amusement park through an ornate door that looks like she is entering a fairyland.
“Wow…”
Seo-yeon admired the scenery in front of her with her mouth open.
If it’s natural, it’s a natural reaction.
Lunaland is not an ordinary amusement park.
A magic space where the essence of the great wizard is intact.
So, when you enter through the door, the surrounding scenery changes in an instant.
The vast expanse that was possible thanks to the Space Expansion Magic.
There are rides and things to do that fill it up.
It really makes you feel as if you have entered a fantasy land that you have only seen in fairy tale books.
“Mmm.”
Looking at the bright expression of my grown-up daughter, I have mixed feelings.
Why did this guy want to come to the amusement park with me?
I tried to ask Kim again, but I stopped immediately.
“What shall we ride first?”
I like it that way, but it must be a bit like asking right now.
“What… , Seniors choose.”
“Then I…”
As if waiting for the answer, he looked at the pamphlet handed out at the entrance and fell into trouble.
… Since you’ve already come, it won’t be too late to ask after you’ve enjoyed it enough.
Seo-yeon, who had her head down while looking at her pamphlet, raises her head.
Sparkling eyes.
“I have decided.”
Her outstretched arms and fingers point to a single ride.
“That’s our first.”
“…”
Cuckoo Cuckoo
Soaring up without knowing how high the sky is.
Kwaaaaah-!
It strikes like a bolt of lightning.
Kyaaaaagh!
Not the cheers of excitement, but even the screams full of fear.
“… Thunder Express?”
The beginning is very hardcore…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
To Hunter, rides are just toys.
Why?
Because I have more thrilling experiences every day.
You can even run faster than a falling roller coaster if you put your mind to it… , Do you have to?
For that reason, amusement parks have become the exclusive property of the general public.
… Until Lunaland opens.
[Please check your seat belt once again~]
As mentioned earlier, Luna Land is different from general amusement parks.
She imbued every ride with a special magic, no, the entire amusement park.
She made it herself, and it only applies to hunters with high magical reserves.
[Thunder Express departs now!]
The last original magic of her life, which moves the magical energy within the hunters faster and makes the active power of the moving vehicle feel many times stronger.
Coo coo coo… !
What does that mean?
Kwaaaaah-!
“Kiyaah Ahhhhh!”
I’m scared too!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Thunder Express.
It is said to be the fastest roller coaster in the world listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, and I never thought it would be this much.
“Huh, huh…”
When I was sitting on a bench breathing hard and calming the seething mana.
“Here.”
Seo-yeon hands me the water she bought at the convenience store.
“Thanks… It is.”
He hurriedly opened the lid of the water bottle and gulped down the water.
I will live a little now
“Whoa.”
She exhaled a small breath and leaned against the back of her bench, and through her thinly opened eyes I saw Seoyeon giggling.
Are you laughing at people dying right now?
“… Why are you laughing?”
When I asked in a disgruntled voice, he stopped laughing… Don’t lose, just cover your mouth.
“M-I’m sorry. I just thought you would do everything well… , I think there are weak points.”
What.
Was it that kind of laugh?
I let go of my dissatisfied expression and answered comfortably leaning back on the backrest.
“Everyone with strengths has weaknesses.”
“Huh… , Yes.”
The guy nodded in agreement.
However, the expression is a little strange.
Dalji felt nostalgic as if he was remembering something and missing something.
In the meantime, after completely recovering her body, she robs her seat and stands up and shouts with courage.
“Now, let’s go to the next ride.”
“Can I ride already?”
“What is this much?”
It’s hard to ride, not hard to recover.
The mounts afterwards are scary, but… , What to do
I have no choice but to hit it with my body.
“This time then…”
She goes to and from every corner of the vast amusement park, guided by the hand of Seo-yeon, who makes her eyes twinkle.
“Kyatho!”
At least, ride the exciting Vikings.
I miss you… !
He was also chased by Halloween creatures that were so excellent that it was difficult to tell whether it was real or false with illusion magic that reached the extreme.
How realistic was it?
“Ah… !”
Surprised in the dark, Seo-yeon hesitated and then grabbed my hand.
“Oh sorry!”
Although the guy, surprised by her self-action, quickly withdrew her hand.
It was strange.
Now, I am a father in spirit, and am I not a stranger in body?
At this very ambiguous boundary, affectionate feelings slowly rise.
“Bird, it was scarier than I thought. Right… ?”
“Iknow, right.”
“Also, let’s go to the next one!”
The guy who walked ahead with a reddened face talking gibberish.
Eating at a family restaurant, dancing and singing while making a fuss over some young guys getting wet, riding a ride, and riding a cup that spins round and round.
Standing in line, rides.
Another line, rides.
As I kept repeating this process over and over again, I knew it.
“It is already dark.”
“Iknow, right.”
The night has come.
Of course, it wasn’t time to go home.
The night of Luna Land is a space that has a different charm from the daytime.
The light purple Milky Way flowing leisurely through the night sky.
Playgrounds that emit soft light.
If the daytime is mysterious and lively for children, the night turns into a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere, focusing more on adults.
Beneath it, Seoyeon is smiling.
Much more natural and brighter than the first.
It’s like going back to a little bit of childhood.
The gaze of the guy who was facing the sky suddenly reaches me.
“Shall we take a walk?”
Let’s walk
“Suddenly?”
“Huh. Looking at the sky made me want to walk.”
“What… , Is it so.”
Walking is not difficult at all.
It’s a day when I even wrote a wish, but I have to do my best to grant it.
It walks slowly among flying magic objects with its tail glowing like a firefly.
People who can be seen everywhere walking lightly and looking around.
“I hate it! Let’s play a little more~! Oooh!”
There are couples who struggle to soothe a child who doesn’t want to go home.
“I love you.”
Even the fresh couple who are just getting started…
“Sorry… , I don’t think of you as a man.”
“… Then why did Lunaland and I come?”
“I thought we were just hanging out with friends!”
“No… !”
Uh… , No.
Anyway.
By the time he reached an area where there are more flowers and trees than people, step by step through various group dramas unfolding around him.
“Why don’t you ask?”
Seoyeon suddenly asked me.
Why don’t you ask?
What did you want me to ask?
Let’s look at it with such curiosity, and the guy continues talking.
“I thought you would ask why you wanted to come to the amusement park as a wish… , Aren’t you curious?”
“…”
Seeing him speak first like that, it seems that he was aware that his empty wish could make the other person feel very strange.
Okay.
Let’s ask a cool question while we’ve talked about it.
“Why did you want to come to the amusement park as a wish?”
A question that had been kept in her heart ever since she heard the wish.
When asked about this, the boy answered.
“I want to recall old memories.”
… Called.
