Chapter 505: 504   - Day Out"I don't know what any of these are, but it all looks amazing...what did you say this place is called, again?" Inquired Persia, looking around in fascination.

"An amusement park. Something I thought I'd never see in this world, but here we are, I guess," I replied in bemusement.

It's the 3rd of February, 1822, and I was currently out on a date with Persia, our first date in about fifteen decades. Sure, I could've waited till February 14th, but it's bound to be a lot more crowded then.

And besides, I've been intrigued to check out this amusement park ever since I first heard about it, so yeah. I've only ever been to an amusement park once in my previous life, and that was only because an assassination target happened to be there.

So, you know, I didn't exactly get to enjoy the rides, since they kinda shut the place down after I sniped the target. It was too crowded to go for my usual close-up assassination with blades, so I had no choice but to snipe him, which lead to a panicked, stampeding crowd.

Ahh, good times.

"Ooh, they have cotton candy!" Noticed Persia, her eyes lighting up.

"Just so you know, if you put on any weight again, I won't use my Healing Factor to slip you down," I nudged her teasingly.

"Wh-wha-...hey, don't be mean!" She pouted as she nudged me back.

"I'm kidding, relax. Feel free not to restrain yourself, let's try out everything that this place has to offer," I grinned in response.

"Yeah, I intend to. I have no idea where to start though," She replied as she looked around uncertainly.

"Hm, let's see...in that case, I suggest the roller-coaster, it's a classic," I suggested, after looking around and pointing it out.

"Ohh, that looks fun...yeah, okay, let's try it out!" She nodded eagerly, as we made our way towards the line.

Fortunately, the place wasn't very crowded today, it was only a five minute wait before we got to the front of the line and got on the ride. Once we were strapped in, the ride began moving, rising up a steep climb to begin with.

"This ride is supposed to be a thrilling one, I wonder if it'll be effective on us, considering everything we've been through?" I mused, as we got halfway up to the top of the first peak.

"Yeah, I was wondering that too. Guess we'll find out soon en-...woah!" She exclaimed, as we reached the peak and dropped down rapidly, before zipping up through a loop, briefly finding ourselves upside down.

Oh, wow...this may be a lot slower than I can move myself, but I'm feeling the thrill...I think I get it, the fact that I'm not in control at all right now is what makes it thrilling.

Persia had a wide-eyed expression on her face, before a grin of enjoyment appeared as we got through the loop and zipped straight through, approaching a steep drop up ahead. Oh, man, this is so much fun, I'm really liking this!

...

"Let's definitely go on that again before we leave, that was really fun!" Grinned Persia, after we got off the ride and wandered around, looking for a ride to go on next.

"Yeah, it really was. Hey, how about that next? I don't know what it's called, but it rises up and then drops down rapidly, might be fun," I suggested, as I spotted the ride.

"That sounds pretty intriguing...okay, let's go there next!" She responded excitedly.

It's great seeing her so happy, I needed this...after breaking free from the barrier we were sealed in, things were kinda depressing, not to mention busy and tiring thanks to the efforts towards restoring peace.

This is just what I needed to alleviate all that...seeing Persia with her face all lit up, excited and carefree, having fun...just looking at her makes me feel like all my worries and concerns are fading away.

We went on the dropping ride, which we both enjoyed but not as much as the roller-coaster, and after that, we checked out the rest of the attractions in the park.

There was a haunted house, but that was kind of a flop, at least for us. It was apparently super popular among most regular civilians though.

Next, we tried out the bumper cars, which was really fun, Persia and I ended up ganging up on an obnoxious kid, bumping him into a corner and repeatedly ramming him-...that kinda came out wrong, but you know what I mean.

After that we checked out the merry go round, which was kinda boring, to be honest. I have no idea why this ride is so popular.

Following that, we wanted more thrills, so we gave the roller-coaster another go, before heading for this ride that spins with a bunch of seats attached with chains.

That one made Persia a bit dizzy, so we decided to take a short break and get some food. Cotton candy, curly fries, hot dogs and sodas, classic junk food to fuel up, before we got back into the action.

After a few more rides, we headed for the arcade, which had a bunch of games in it. Side note, game consoles are a thing now too, and I've been meaning to try one out one of these days.

Anyway, the arcade turned out to be super fun...we tried the crane games, but both failed to nab any of the prizes.

Then we tried a first person shooter game...it was super cool, it took place in a booth and we had to wear these glasses, and the targets, which were Zombies, were 3D holograms, it looked and felt super real.

Most of the other games were 3D too, there was a sword fighting game, a racing game, which Persia found weird since vehicles don't exist thanks to the prevalence of teleportation in this world.

There were also 3D games meant for relaxation, like a boat rowing and fishing game, a chilling on the beach game, and game that made you feel like you were flying...but the two of us kinda found those to be boring.

Once we were done with the arcade, we had tried pretty much all the rides that caught our attention, the sun starting to set as we wandered the park.

"I think let's go on one more and then leave...what do you think?" Persia asked me.

"Sounds good...there's the ferris wheel, which is usually a must for couples. But that's typically for new couples, considered to be an ideal place to have a first kiss. We're well past that point, so...roller-coaster?" I suggested with a grin.

"Roller-coaster," She nodded in agreement.

So, yeah...we went on the roller-coaster one more time, and with that, we were done with the amusement park, and began heading home.

We got back to the castle and made our way to our room, both of us collapsing onto the bed with content sighs as we turned on the air conditioning and the room filled with a nice, cool temperature.

"So, had a good time?" I inquired, as she scooted over and rested her head on my shoulder.

"Mhm, a really good time, let's definitely go there again," She replied with a smile.

"Sounds good to me. Now, then...," I trailed off, as I pulled her closer and kissed her.

She ran her hand through my hair as I caressed her lips with mine, before she pressed deeper into me, her tongue twirling around mine as my hands trailed down and squeezed her thighs.

We then pulled away as we took each other's clothes off, and once they were off, I pinned her down and got on top of her, my right hand on her chest as I kissed her neck.

She wrapped her legs around me as her hands ran across my torso and back, letting out a slight gasp as I moved my mouth down towards her breasts and gave her a slight nibble, her hand slowly going down my torso and down below my waist, her fingers wrapping around me.

I moved up and kissed her again, our lips dancing across each other fervently and hungrily, her body shuddering as my hand moved between her legs.

She then wrapped her legs more tightly around me and spun us across, landing on top of me with a seductive smirk as I gave her hips a firm squeeze.

She traced her fingertips across my chest and abdomen teasingly, sending slight shudders across my body...she knows exactly how to get me, but then, I can same the same of her.

"I love you, Kuro," She leaned down and whispered into my ear, before nibbling on my earlobe.

"Yeah...I love you too, Persia," I replied, as she melted into me and kissed me passionately, our bodies writhing together as our hands ran all over each other...
