About five minutes later, the group walked out of the arcade – this time in every sense of the word.

"Alright," Gray Yuan Ai buttoned the button and patted the backpack that Qian Yu was carrying. "It's loaded~"

"Hmm~" Hotaru put her fingertips lightly on her lips, and let out a light laugh after looking at what Gray Plains had hung up for a moment. "Looks cute!"

"Huh?" Qian Yu subconsciously looked behind him, and after realizing that he couldn't see anything at all, he took off his school bag, and then looked at the extra things on it.

It's a very lively and cute Labrador Doll, which is also from here - but unlike the cat doll and the Big Bear doll, this is a clearly priced item from the sales cabinet, after all, there doesn't seem to be a dog doll here.

"Hmm," Qian Yu looked at the dog, and then raised an eyebrow. "Well, it seems pretty good?"

Gray Yuan Wai next to him seemed to be quietly relieved after seeing that Qian Yu seemed to be really satisfied.

Next to them, Yuzhen looked at the gray plain mourning who breathed a sigh of relief and his expression became happier, showed a very happy smile, and also hugged the big bear doll in his hand. Takeda, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice the details of Ai Ashbara's movements, and just looked at Yuzhen's face stupidly.

……

"Why do you have to come now?" Led by Takeda on the road, Yuma said curiously.

"Ahh "There's no particular reason, just because I think I should take you there first......"

Behind them, Hotaru showed a somewhat subtle expression and turned to Fujiwara. “？”

"We'll find out later." Fujiwara just replied like this, and had no intention of immediately satisfying the curiosity of his lover.

"What do you think he's waiting for?" Gray Plains asked.

"I don't know," Chiba shook her head. "But it's definitely for a limited time – otherwise there's no reason to do this kind of trek across districts at this time, when there are so many places to continue shopping."

However, if it's a limited time, then you might be able to see it soon, right? After all, it's already 3:53 p.m., and if it's time limit, it's probably what will happen at 4 o'clock sharp. Seven minutes to go, and considering their speed, it's about 300 to 450 meters, which means that if you look ahead now, you might be able to see what Takeda wants to take them to?

But...... Qian Yu frowned slightly, and used the auxiliary unit to solve the picture in front of him. It seems to be all facilities that can be played at any time, and there doesn't seem to be anything limited, so what are you here for?

Just as Chiba continued to think, Takeda took them out of the facility area, where there were only some natural landscapes and the like...... Is Takeda planning to take a detour from here? But it's already 3:57, which means that if you're going somewhere at 4 o'clock, it's probably around here, right? But Chiba really hasn't found anything nearby worth seeing until now.

Could it be that Takeda's judgment of time has a problem? Chiba suddenly realized such a possibility, so she immediately locked on the watch that Takeda wore on her wrist.

But the time on that was indeed 3:58, which was the same as the time indicated by the support unit of the thousand feathers.

In the midst of such confusion, Chiba was led by Takeda to continue to walk forward.

If you go further on, you'll be on another island, right? By the time 3:59:30, Chiba had even begun to wonder if he had misjudged Takeda's 4 o'clock - until he looked at his feet, only to see that they were now stepping on top of the dense metal grille, and there was a black hole underneath the mouth of the pipe and Chiha's eyes lit up because he immediately realized Takeda's intentions.

They had now walked into the outer ring of a multi-ring fountain, and Takeda was leading them straight to the fountain's central ring.

Could it be that this fountain is? If it had been programmed, it might have been sprayed at 4 o'clock...... Is this what Takeda is waiting for?

Chiha's judgment did seem to be correct, as Fujiwara had already pulled Hotaru from Takeda's side to almost a side by side with them at this time. So it's clear that Fujiwara knows what Takeda wants to do, and that's what he wants to do here.

"Caught up," Takeda looked at the hands of his watch, his previously somewhat serious face finally smiling at Yuma again. "Fifteen seconds left."

"Huh?" Yuma was obviously still a little nervous, so he didn't realize what Takeda was going to do like Chiha, Ashbara, and Hotaru. "What happens in fifteen seconds?"

"Ten seconds to go, and you'll see it right away," Takeda said with a very gentle expression. "Something I want you to see."

Beside them, two other couples, large and small, were already standing beside them with knowing smiles, carefully avoiding areas that the fountain might hit if it erupted.

"Five, four, three—" Takeda raised his wrist with his watch, his gaze shifted back and forth from the second hand of his watch, half nervous and half dazed, as he stood in front of him, and whispered.

"Uh, what the hell is this ......" Before Yuma could finish speaking, Takeda had already said the last number. But all those present did not hear the number, because—

"Bang!" The sound of the water burst out in every direction at the same time, and the towering wall of water made the expressions of Takeda and Fujiwara, who had already planned this plan together in advance, already look strange. After all, even Fujiwara, who had been here before, had only seen the fountain from the outside, and had not had the energy to feel it from the inside—of course, Fujiwara was obviously not completely startled by the towering wall of water that surrounded him, as Takeda did, but only frowned slightly.

In contrast, the look of surprise on Hotaru and Ashbara's faces was just as genuine—although they had already guessed that the fountain was a repertoire prepared by Takeda, they didn't expect the water wall here to be so spectacular.

As for the thousand feathers? The dynamic vision and slow-down abilities granted to him by the auxiliary unit meant that such a spray was merely slow-down, so his attention was entirely focused on observing the fountain's landscape.

Of course, the fact that he wasn't surprised at all also gave him a longer reaction time than Takeda and Fujiwara, and realized earlier that their prediction seemed to be problematic.

“！” Thousand Feathers immediately grabbed Gray Plains and pulled her slightly towards the center of the fountain as she let out an exclamation.

“！！！” Takeda's reaction was a beat slower than Chiha's, and it wasn't until the splash on top of the wall of water was about to start falling that he realized that Yuma was still standing where he was still being splashed. "Be careful!"

Before Yuma could react, Takeda made the same choice as Chiba, grabbing Yuzhen's shoulder and neck with one hand without hesitation, and then pulling towards the center.

But Takeda didn't notice that his heel was just on the edge of the grille, so when he pulled Yuma back, the part that he barely stepped on slipped like this, and he fell to the center of the ring with Takeda and Yuzhen. "Ahh

"Hmm!" With two struggling sounds, Takeda felt his two hands behind his back, and Yuma, who was also out of balance, stabilized his body under the support of his other hand and his own two hands that were gently propped on Takeda's body.

"Are you stupid," Fujiwara sighed, pushing Takeda's body back into equilibrium with force. "Be careful next time."

"I understand your intention to pounce on Takeda-kun," Hotaru said with a smile on Yuma, who had just come back to his senses, holding Takeda and Yuma with his two hands. "But next time, don't be on this occasion where it's easy to fall on the concrete floor~"

"Hotaru, what are you talking about......" Yuma didn't retort loudly with a red face, but just muttered quietly.
