Chapter 544: I Guess Thats Part of Alices Charm (1/2)

After finishing lunch, I started to tour the festival with Alice's again.

As I expected, all the attractions were as interesting as I had expected, and I had truly enjoyed them all. After visiting several attractions, we decided to go to the attraction that Alice had recommended.

When I arrived at the attraction, it looked like, putting it simply, a cave.

[Now, we've arrived! This is Alice-chan's top choice! The festival's main attraction ”Super Lovey-dovey Illumination”!]

[……Sorry, I didn't hear you well, so say it again.]

[……Eh?]

It's not that I didn't hear exactly what she said. It's just that I didn't understand what I had just heard, so I asked her to say it again. When Alice heard what I said, she stiffened, as if she had been caught off guard, before she restlessly moved her gaze around, her cheeks slightly blushing red.

[……N- No, like I said…… Super…… L- Lovey-dovey…… Illumination……]

[My bad, what is it again?]

[……A- As I said…… S- Super…… Lovey-dovey…… wait, what the heck is with this shame play!?]

[If you're so embarrassed saying it, you shouldn't have named it like that……]

Seeing the gap between the usual her and the cute blushing face Alice has now, I couldn't help but tease her.

Well, that aside, does the Illumination word in its name mean that the interior of the cave would be beautifully lit up?

[……W- Well, getting back on track, I'll explain it now…… This, errr, Illumination is…… Well, in a nutshell, it's a very beautiful place. It's a dreamlike space that uses the most advanced technology to the fullest. But at the same time, it's a space that can be hell for certain people.]

[Hell? What do you mean?]

[……Please look over there.]

[……Are you…… a devil……?]

Seeing the signpost that stood at the entrance of the cave, I immediately understood what Alice meant when she said it was hell for certain people.

The signpost had three arrows on it, as if to show the guests the route to take…… and that made me understand. These choices that could lead the guests to the road to hell is the act of the devil……

Each of the three arrows had words written on it, the left one had ”Groups & Families”, the middle one had ”Lovers & Married Couple”, while the right one had ”Singles” on it.

Well, to put it bluntly, the choices were actually having the guests separated to the ”Normies Path”, the ”Couple Path”, and the ”Loner Path”. And this attraction's name is supposed to be Super Lovey-dovey Illumination.

She had crowned this place with the word ”Lovey-dovey”, but went out of her way to prepare a route for the people who came to this attraction alone…… It's a hellish facility where you can feel the will to thoroughly obliterate the loners.

[……Alice, what the heck do you have against the loners……]

[No, you see…… I was just showing the way for the lonely singles.]

[Stop that! Loners have feelings too!]

[It's alright. Kaito-san, the you right now isn't a loner anymore.]

As a former loner, I somehow feel sad for them but…… Well, I guess there's no way loners would go near an attraction called ”Super Lovey-dovey Illumination” in the first place.

While thinking about this, looking at the signpost…… I suddenly noticed a small arrow pointing down.

Arehh? Were there actually four paths instead of three? However, this arrow was awfully small……
