Chapter 558 - Melting into Spring (7)

"Where is Shelly?" I found myself inside my bedroom.

"Michelle returned to school," Alex was the one to answer.

"You should have woken me up," I turned to Luke.

"Grandfather gave me a sheet for you to write down all the places you want to go for the two days," Luke passed me the sheet.

My eyes brightened as I grabbed the paper from him. I could finally visit some of the items in my bucket list.. I opened my marble, taking out all the research I have been doing while I was bored. Most of the items had a time-space feature inside them, letting me make the two days into a week if I planned carefully enough. I didn't plan to sleep since each hour was extremely precious.

"Can you even go to all those places?" Charles read the partly finished list.

"I'm definitely going to all those places. Do you think I'm going to waste my time sleeping?" I defended myself.

"It's like you've never been to these places before," he continued to watch me add more to the list.

"I have never been to those places before. It's my first time getting the chance to visit everything on the list in my life," I sadly revealed my confined life.

"It's limited to two days since we're going to rent out everywhere that she wants to visit to increase the security," Luke explained.

"All of them?" Charles was stunned.

"It's the only choice we have," Alex sighed.

When I finished my list, I passed it to Luke. I didn't mind if they rented out everything, it would mean I wouldn't have to wait in line. Maybe Luke didn't know there were many places I wanted to go. He briefly froze while reading everything. I wrote down a detailed schedule of how I would spend the entire day, precise to its hour.

"Your body won't be able to handle this Rika," Luke predicted.

"Take some items out of the list," he passed it back to me.

"Have you ever heard of play until you faint?" I had a plan.

"If you faint, we're taking you back to the mansion immediately," he pointed out there was nothing I could do if I was unconscious.

"But I'm not going to faint," I passed him the paper again.

Many performers stood in their positions, dancing in beautiful costumes or doing extravagant tricks like controlling fire and earth to their will to create stunning objects. How was I ever going to leave this place? I was so glad the time-space function would extend the time to allow me to spend the entire day here. I practiced manipulating my mana extensively to increase my stamina for the past week.

I screamed when dropping down on the highest tower as it rushed to the ground. Even the merry-go-round was different, realistic horses running with the background changing as if I was actually riding through the other dimension. Since the amusement park was a large place, I only went on each ride once. I was surprised when Charles looked exhausted around the twentieth ride, thinking he would have more stamina than me.

"You don't have to follow us. You can rest if you want," I suggested.

"Where did you get all this energy?" Charles was struggling to match my enthusiasm.

"Isn't everyone like this when they visit the amusement park?" I wondered.

Talking to Charles was wasting more of my time. I quickly finished the conversation to go on more rides. These people were really creative, the haunted house made Charles almost cry and jump a couple of times. Luke politely offered his hand for him to hold since he uncontrollably trembled. I was always good at haunted houses, obsessed with watching horror movies in my former life. Instead of getting scared, I admired the good artwork behind them.

"You don't have to push yourself. I'm planning on going to the lower floors," I felt a little guilty.

"No one comes out the lower floors alive," Charles' voice wobbled.

"They're not real," I couldn't help but comfort him.

"I can walk with you to the entrance before going to the lower floors with Rika," Luke offered.

"You guys aren't normal," Charles nodded his head to accept the offer.

I sighed as I had to wait for Luke to return. Nothing in the haunted house gave me the chills like being chased by monsters and fairies. I needed something more thrilling. Screaming my lungs out helped me vent my stress from the past few months. I tapped on the screen with the brochure displayed to go to the scariest one. Alex stiffened when he watched me smile.

"Are you sure Rika?" Alex tried to talk me out of it.
