Chapter 224 - Egg Crepes (2/2)

”This is an adult's playground?!” Lena quickly gasped at the sight.

”Adult? Most of us already completed this as a child.”

”Most... yeah... the abnormal most of everyone.”

Lena took a few more steps forward to get a better glance at the enormous obstacle course in the room. It was an indoor one. She could see some bar hops, rope climbing, rock climbing, and more obstacles that she did not know how it worked.

”When I was young, this was something I would do for fun.” Kris held onto a big rope and swung over to the other side. The bottom had a large pit of water. ”I wanted to share some of the good things that I had... or made me more... happy I guess.”

Lena grabbed onto the rope and successfully swung across it. James had been teaching her close combat training and improving her stamina. She had not done anything like this. This would be something good for her.

”I'll conquer this all.” Lena gave Kris a peck on the cheek.

She turned to look at the next course and stopped smiling. ”You've got to be kidding me.”

”Hm? It just looks harder than it is. You just need to grab the stick and swing across with it until it hooks it on to the next one. Think of it like some more difficult monkey bars.”

”Wish me good luck!” Lena hopped and grabbed onto the bar. She swung her body back and forth for momentum before jumping off and trying to hook the bar in place for the next jump. Her aim was off for one side and she fell down with a big splash into the water.

Kris looked over the edge to make sure Lena was alright.

”You didn't wish me good luck!” Lena shouted. She held onto the bar and swam back to the latter which was back at the beginning. She noticed that each time she falls, she would have to start all over from the beginning.

She swung across the rope again, holding onto the bar. She placed it back on its first position and tried again. Kris didn't think that Lena was going to keep going but if she wanted to, she was free to do whatever she wanted. He liked her fighting spirit.

Throughout the day, Kris stayed and completed the course with Lena. She fell into the water a few times and had to start over. Kris help gave her tips on how to complete each course and how everything is more than just that a physical course. There are some parts that you can use your brain to complete it.

This was a good time for Lena to improve on her performance and she also grew closer to Kris. This was also a time for Kris to understand Lena.

After Lena completed the course with Kris, she told him to go check on their lunch while she tried the course again with just herself. As Kris left, Lena started back at the course from the beginning. She smiled before grabbing the rope and swinging to the other side.

The last course was shooting at 5 moving targets and hitting the red circle marked on them. The first round, Lena missed 2/5. This time around, she was more focused and was able to hit all of them in one single try.

”Congratulations!” Kris clapped his hand at Lena and walked to her. He gave a kiss on her forehead even though she was sweating a bit from the heavy workout.

”How long were you there for?”

”Awhile. I did not want to bother you.”

”You are right... this is kind of fun.” Lena replied.

”Good. There are several more courses here and others located at each Area. I can show them all to you someday.”

”I would love that!”

”You sure? Instead of fancy dates at the movies, you would rather be doing these stuff with me?”

”Of course. I think this is more of a fun and interactive date than a movie. As long as there is food, then any date with you is good.”
