544-It’s probably one of Alice’s charms.






 After lunch, Alice and I started to visit the festival again.
 As expected, all of the attractions were very interesting, and I really enjoyed them all. After visiting several attractions, we decided to head to Alice's favorite attraction.

 I arrived at the attraction, and it looked like a cave, in a word.

'Well, we're here! This is the place for you, Alice! It's the main 'Super Love Illumination' of the day!
'I'm sorry, I didn't quite hear you, so say that again.'
...What?

 It's not that I didn't hear it exactly, it's more like I heard it back, not quite understanding what I heard. Alice heard my words and froze as if she had been struck by an emptiness, then restlessly moved her gaze and her cheeks turned slightly red.

''........no, so........super.......l-love, illumination.... ...is.
Sorry, again.
So..... so... super... lovey-dovey... what is it? This shame play!
You shouldn't have named him that if you were ashamed of him.

 Alice was very cute and shouting with a bright red face, and I couldn't help but tease her because of the gap between her face and her normal face.
 Anyway, anyways, does the fact that the cave is illuminated mean that the inside of the cave is beautifully lit up?

".........well, let's get back to it, let me explain.......this, uh, illuminated.......well, it's a very beautiful place to say the least. It's a dreamy space, with all the state-of-the-art technology in its entirety. But at the same time, it's a space that can be hell for certain people.
'Hell? What do you mean?
...see this.
"...Are you...a demon...?

 What Alice meant when she spoke of hell for certain people was immediately understood when I saw the sign that stood at the entrance of the cave.
 The sign had three arrows on it, in a way that indicated the direction to go... but I could see it. This option was the work of the devil who showed me the path to hell........

 Each of the three arrows had letters written on them, the left one was 'for groups/families', the middle one was 'for lovers/couples' and the right one was 'for one person'.
 Well, it was a quick story, but there were three choices: "for the rear," "for couples," and "for lonely people. And the name of this attraction is Super Love Love Illumination.
 It's a hellish facility that has the intention of thoroughly eliminating loneliness, even though it's called Super Love Love Illumination.

''........Alice, what in the world do you have against Bocchi.......''
No, you see I think I've shown the way to lonely singles for a change.
Stop! There are some blokes who get hurt by that!
I'll be fine. Mr. Kite, you're not alone right now.

 As a former bozo, I feel somewhat sad.......well, I guess bozos never go near an attraction with a name like Super Love Illumination in the first place.......
 As I was thinking about this, I was looking at the signage... when I suddenly noticed a small arrow at the bottom of the sign.

 Huh? There were four ways to get there, not three? But this arrow is awfully small........

 
 So, stop the relentless gorilla bullying! I mean, I don't feel like this gorilla is referring to a specific person........

........Hey, Alice.
What's up?
What kind of people go through a gorilla train?
It's a hot, red gorilla. He's got horns and stuff.

 Hey, isn't that Mr. Megiddo? No, since it's this guy, I guess it's like it's part of a prank............................but I'm afraid that if Megiddo-san sees it, it's going to be another fight.
 

Alice.
Yes?
What was the name of this attraction?
"...Heh? No, no, you know what?
What was it again?
...What?

 Hearing my words, Alice's expression turns understandably impatient. But I'm not going to let her off the hook.

''........What was it?''
'...no, so...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no...no.
Louder.
'This is totally bullying, isn't it! I feel like I've seen some terrible s*xuality!

 Alice's red face and embarrassed shouting makes me want to tease her even more, or maybe I'm just going to wake up to a really weird s*xual habit.
 Ummm, yeah, I'm starting to feel like I'm going to go in various dangerous directions, so let's end this story here.

All jokes aside, let's get in there.
'Yeah, right. So let's have a super loving ... oh, um ... enjoy the illumination together!
Don't blow yourself up.

 Dear Mom, Dad - Alice thought she declared cheerfully, but then she squirmed and looked embarrassed. Is that the kind of gap you call it? The occasional girlishness of Alice is also a part of her charm.
