525-1st Anniversary Extra Edition "Two People's Different World Travel Part 3-Amusement Park"






 When we arrived at Washuzan Highland, we were able to enter the park safely, although there was an argument at the ticket booth.
 When I went through the main gate, I felt the passion of Brazilian Park Washuzan Highlands for samba as soon as I passed through the main gate, where a samba stage was set up.
 But unfortunately I'm Japanese and I don't have a passion for samba, so I decided to go straight to the attractions without a samba stage.

 By the way, this Washuzan Highlands has the standard merry-go-round and Ferris wheel, but what caught my attention in the brochure was the four types of roller coasters.
 The Ultra Twister, which, as its name suggests, rotates sideways along the way; the standing coaster; the back-numbered roller coaster, which runs backwards; and the simple construction, but the sound of rusty steel proves that it has been around for a long time and offers a 'different kind of scare'. This is a chupy coaster that gives you a taste of a "chubby coaster".
 In fact, about a third of the park's attractions are roller coasters. What part of the roller coaster has a Brazilian feel to it is not clear at all, but...

 The chupi that is the crown of the roller coaster is the mascot of Washuzan Highland. It looks like a mouse, but it has nothing to do with the mouse in a certain dreamland. There is a male Chupy and a female Chury-chan, but they are completely different from the mascot of a certain amusement park.
 By the way, according to the official website, Chu-Li's favorite food is grilled meat, and his special skill is bungee jumping. According to his profile on his official website, he was born on January 1, 1994, so he must be quite old... but I'll not think about it.

'So, Black where do you want to start?
'Hmmm I want to go to this 'Sky Cycle' thing!
Uh-huh. Okay well let's get going.

 It's quite an honor to be the first one to choose Kuro, or should I say Kuro?
 The Sky Cycle is one of the most famous attractions in Washuzan Highlands, and it is mentioned in most of the reviews on the internet.
 As the name suggests, it is a two-seater bicycle-like ride on a high rail.

 There is a similar amusing and heartwarming "cycle monorail," which is often found in children's play facilities because it doesn't cost any money to power the ride itself, but the Sky Cycle at Washuzan Highlands is not. This is a completely different thing.
 This skycycle is set up on a 'steep mountain slope'. If it were a solid part of the bike, you would be able to enjoy the spectacular view with elegance, but that's not what we were after.
 The SkyCycle is made up of handlebars, saddle, pedals, chain and a frame that connects them.
 It's a little early to say, but it looks like you might fall off if you miss your pedal.

 Some people may think that this would have a safety device in place, but this hope will be shattered when you actually ride it.
 This Skycycle has only a "loose belt" as a safety device, and there is no fall protection net.

 I heard that it was introduced on TV as a very frightening attraction.
 I might have to be prepared for this.






''........Kaito-kun? You're blue, are you okay?
Uh-huh. Yeah, I'm fine.
And by the way, wow, it's a nice view, and I can see the ocean!

 I knew it, but it's super scary! It's kind of rocking sideways in increments! The wheels don't come off, do they? It's okay! In addition, it's a lot more expensive than I imagined, and it's seriously scary!
 Moreover, the handlebars were low and leaned forward, perhaps because they were adjusted to accommodate children, and there were some tree branches sticking out of the course, which made me feel a bit uneasy.

 What's that? I don't know if it was this scary when I rode it as a kid. I'm sure my dad said something about never riding again, but I'm sure I was excited and wanted to ride it a lot... but now that I'm on it, I understand how he felt.
 This was a bit scary... especially the part that juts out to the ocean side...

 In contrast to me, however, Kuro seems to be enjoying himself. He was happily holding the steering wheel while looking out at the scenery.

'.........Ah.
What? Black!
I guess I shouldn't have used too much force and I just lost the handle.
"Not a bloody thing! What do you mean by that?

 Normally Kuro's strength is so perfect that it's easy to forget about it, but her strength is not at the level of being inhuman or anything like that. You can crush it with the same amount of force as an iron handle to break a piece of dried somen noodles.
 But that doesn't mean that this is the best time to do it.

"Well...
"...Huh? Is...it...fixed?
Yeah, I can fix this in a minute!
Well, that's good.
'Well, get yourself together........kite! Can I speed it up a bit more?
Stop, stop! I've got a bad feeling about this! Because this ride was not designed to withstand Black's leg strength!

 I shake my head as hard as I can when Black asks if I can speed up a bit more. Because all I could see was a future where I could fly off the rails!
 After that, I managed to finish the lap, desperately trying to convince Black to speed up, while struggling with a new fear that he wouldn't destroy the pedals this time.

'Oh that was fun! I need another ride....
Black! I heard that coaster over there is very famous and fun! Let's get out of here! Let's do that!
Uh-huh? If you say so, Kite, then....

 




 After that, Kuro and I continued to look around Washu Mountain Highlands.

"Kite, what's this?
 Then we'll go to another attraction...
'What? No, it's not! Here, you'll get it right.
"...Huh? What is it, Black, subtle....no, not subtle, but 'I haven't grown about 10cm taller'?
Kinoseidaiyo.
Why did you look away?

 I was dumbfounded to see Kuro trying to get through the height-restricted attraction with a body that could change at will....





'Kite? Are you okay?
It's going to crash... for real!
Here, give me a hand.
'Oh, thank you....I mean, how is it that Black is able to ski so smoothly? This is your first time in-line skating, right?
'What? It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, though?
...d*mn, that's so frustrating.

 Lightly jealous of the high specs of Kuro....





'Kaito-kun! Isn't it already burnt?
I'm not done yet...
...Is it about time?
So I'm not ready to...

 At Black's request, we ate lunch at an okonomiyaki restaurant while we were in Brazilian Park...




'Yes! Kite, look at this! I 'broke' everything!
'Because it's not! Bowling knocks down the pins! I thought we were going to grind them to pieces! Now fix it!
Yeah, yeah....
'I mean, to begin with ... that ball isn't 'overthrown' ... it's rolled downhill ...'
Huh?

 I shuddered at Black throwing a 16-pound bowling ball at bullet-like speeds....
 It was very hectic, but somehow we were able to forget about time and enjoy it.




 I looked around the various attractions, and just as it was beginning to get dark, I decided to take a ride on the Rainbow Warp Ferris wheel as my final stop.
 Washuzan Highlands is an amusement park on top of a mountain, and the view from the Ferris wheel was truly spectacular.

'Wow, that's a beautiful view. The sea is glistening at sunset.
Yeah, I think we'll end up with a Ferris wheel... what do you think, Black? Did you have a good day?
'Yes! That was so much fun! All of these things were new to me... and thank you for bringing them to me, Kite!

 I asked him as we stood side by side looking out at the view from the Ferris wheel, and Kuro gave me a dazzling smile in return.
 The amusement park date was a new experience for me as well, but it was so much fun that it felt like it went by so fast.
 As I was gazing at the scenery, thinking about how lucky I was to have come with Kuro, I suddenly felt a soft, warm touch on my arm.
 I turned around and met eyes with Kuro, who was leaning against me, holding my arm as if he were holding me.

'Black?'
Heh... hey, Kite?
Yeah?
I love it.
...Yeah, me too...

 A Ferris wheel with just the two of us, a beautiful sunset view. I guess this is what you would call a good mood.
 My heart is warm and my mind is very calm. The same thing happened to Kuro, who looked straight at me with a bashful smile and said fond words.
 I wonder if the redness in his cheeks is due to the sunset or something else... maybe I have the same look on my face.

 In the quiet, yet very comfortable silence, we moved our faces close to each other as if drawn to each other...............thoughts.
