Anime Crossover: My Youth Begins with Charlotte

So he had no choice but to resort to threats. "Okay, I believe you," Ram decided to stop talking, then put on an expression of great anticipation for the amusement park activities that were about to begin.

Chapter 86 Amusement Park

"There are so many people at the amusement park today!" Ram was getting impatient while waiting in line and wanted to get in as soon as possible. Just then, Fujiwara Chika returned from buying drinks, holding a bottle of ice-cold beverage in her hands.

"Look, you've gotten your clothes all wet. Let me take it." Xia Yan's instincts led him to take the bottle of drink from Qian Hua's hands and let her relax her hands so she wouldn't be so tense.

Ram was focused on hoping that the line ahead would thin out, so he didn't notice Xia Yan's actions. Xia Yan glanced at Ram and thought to himself that it was fortunate Ram's attention wasn't on him right now, otherwise Ram would be looking at him with that kind of look again.

They waited for a full two hours before it was their turn to go in. "I thought I could just go in with a ticket, but I didn't expect to have to wait so long," Ram said, her patience worn thin by the long wait.

However, after seeing the various rides and attractions in the amusement park, Ram's enthusiasm seemed to be reignited, and she dragged Natsuhiko and Fujiwara Chika to those places to have some fun.

"Haha, Ram is so excited!" Chika said, being pulled along by Ram, as she turned her head to look at Xia Yan. Xia Yan smiled and nodded at Chika. Fortunately, Chika had tacitly agreed to Ram joining them for today's arrangements.

And she seemed quite satisfied. "Wow, a pirate ship! Let's go on board and have some fun!" Ram pointed to the pirate ship that was starting up. The screams from the people on board piqued Ram's interest, and she wanted to try this exciting-looking thing.

Ram asked Xia Yan if they could go up together. Xia Yan nodded, then looked at Fujiwara Chika. Chika smiled and nodded as well. Actually, Chika's smile was forced, as she was generally very afraid of these amusement park rides.

Originally, Chika planned to come to the amusement park to ride the carousel, look at the cartoon sculptures, play in the lake, chat with Natsuhiko, and have coffee. She never thought she would try these things, but Chika saw that Natsuhiko had agreed.

Then she thought it over and realized it was time to overcome her fear, so she forced a smile and agreed to Ram's request. Of course, Fujiwara Chika didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, seeing how excited Ram was and how much she wanted to sit down with her.

Naturally, they couldn't spoil the fun for others, so the three of them went up. But at that moment, Ram was supposed to sit at the dragon's head, which was the place that swung the highest and descended the lowest.

"Don't worry, you won't feel anything if you close your eyes." In the end, Fujiwara Chika couldn't bring herself to say anything about changing seats. After all, this activity wasn't her idea; it was Ram's request. Ram could sit however she wanted.

... ......... .......

So, between Fujiwara Chika and Natsuhiko was Ram, a Ram who was screaming wildly as the pirate ship rose and fell. With one high and one low, Ram's voice also fluctuated, and it was hard to tell that Ram had the talent to be a tenor.

Throughout the entire process, Fujiwara Chika kept her eyes tightly closed, rested her head on the railing in front of her, and could only hear Ram's shrill cries. She had no idea what Natsuhiko's condition was now.

Xia Yan noticed Qian Hua's discomfort through Ram's eyes. Ram glanced at Qian Hua, and then patted her back. "Don't be afraid, it's fun and exciting, you want to see?" Ram wanted Qian Hua to feel the excitement she was experiencing.

Chapter 87 Thousand Flowers Vomiting

Encouraged by Ram, Chika squinted and looked up, peering through the narrow slits of her eyes at the people below from the perspective of those on the pirate ship. The people below seemed to grow larger and smaller in an instant.

Moreover, there was a momentary feeling of weightlessness. What was going on? Why did I get on this pirate ship? Why did I have to spend a few minutes experiencing the feeling of hovering between life and death?

Chika glanced at it, then let out a loud "Ah!" just like Ram, before closing her eyes again, unable to hold back. Ram was quite pleased with Chika's shout.

Just when everyone thought that Chika's true nature had been unleashed, Chika was thinking that no matter how hard she forced herself, she would never come up again. The wind dried the tears that had welled up in Fujiwara Chika's eyes from fear.

Finally, after a few minutes, the pirate ship stopped, and the amplitude gradually decreased. "Chika? Chika, it's stopped, we should get off." Xia Yan looked at Chika, who still had her eyes closed and was resting her forehead on the railing, showing no intention of getting off.

He patted Chika on the shoulder, telling her she could get down. Chika heard Xia Yan's voice, the warmest voice ever, and then suddenly looked up, but worried that there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.

She deliberately avoided Xia Yan's gaze and walked down silently. Xia Yan felt that Qian Hua was acting strangely, but he didn't know what was wrong with her. The three of them got off the pirate ship.

"How was it, Chika? Was it exciting? Was it fun?" Ram stared at Chika. Chika noticed Ram's gaze and realized that the pirate ship ride was just the beginning, and there might be even more exciting rides waiting for her next.

Chika put on her classic fake smile again, and then responded to Ram's invitation to ride an even more thrilling roller coaster. Chika nodded to Ram, and Ram excitedly pulled Chika and Xia Yan onto the roller coaster.

At this moment, only three questions were on Fujiwara Chika's mind: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" She didn't know when her body had been tightly strapped to the roller coaster, unable to move.

At this moment, Fujiwara Chika had no time for regret. Chika hated her own indecisiveness, which had bound her to this deadly roller coaster. Chika thought that if she closed her eyes, it would be like taking a nap, and nothing would have happened...

As Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes, she tried to recall Natsuhiko's appearance from the previous night to give herself courage, but each time she mustered the courage to open her eyes, she was dissuaded by the terrifying height.

On the roller coaster, Fujiwara Chika tried to hide, but she couldn't. She could only curl up her body as much as possible and brace her feet against the bottom of the roller coaster. This gave her a mental support, a support that would prevent her from falling.

Finally, everything was over, and peace returned. But something was wrong; her stomach seemed to be rumbling again. No, she absolutely couldn't do that in front of Xia Yan, vomiting up such filthy things.

"Chika, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xia Yan helped Chika off the roller coaster, but Chika refused his help and covered her mouth with both hands.

Then his eyes darted around anxiously, as if searching for something. Xia Yan stared blankly at his hand that had been left empty-handed.

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Visiting the Haunted House

"Chika, are you alright?" Ram walked over to Chika and patted her back with his hand. Xia Yan turned around and saw that Chika was squatting there, her back twitching as if she had vomited.

Natsuhiko anxiously took out the water from his bag and handed it to Chika. "Are you alright, Chika?" Natsuhiko hoped that Fujiwara Chika was alright, but she didn't look alright at all.

Xia Yan began to worry. "Why don't we go find a doctor? When I came over just now, I saw a medical room under the roller coaster. The people who built the amusement park are quite humane. They know to go back to the medical room after riding the roller coaster."

This was the longest sentence Xia Yan had ever said. Fujiwara Chika waved her hand at Xia Yan, telling him not to come any closer. Xia Yan didn't know why. Chika took the bottle of water from Xia Yan's hand, rinsed her mouth, and wiped her mouth clean.

Standing up, she smiled at Xia Yan and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." Fujiwara Chika happily picked up the bottle of water, which Xia Yan had handed to her.

"What do you mean 'nothing'? Your lips are almost as white as the wall. Let's go see her." At this moment, Xia Yan thanked Ram for insisting on taking Fujiwara Chika to the infirmary.

Fujiwara Chika felt that she was fine after throwing up, so she took out a mirror and looked at herself. She realized that it was because her lipstick had come off that Ram had said her lips were pale. "Oh, oh, it's because my lipstick came off. I accidentally wiped it off."

Fujiwara Chika revealed that her natural lip color was just like that, and she usually only wore lipstick. Regarding going to the infirmary, Fujiwara Chika was still afraid that her illness would cause trouble for Ram and Natsuhiko.

"Excuse me, let's go, it's just around the corner." Ram went up to help Fujiwara Chika, insisting that she go to the infirmary. Fujiwara Chika felt embarrassed to insist any longer, so she agreed to Ram's request.

Xia Yan and Ram brought Fujiwara Chika to the infirmary to have the doctor examine her. After examining her for a while, the doctor said, "This is just normal dizziness. She'll be fine after a rest. There's nothing to worry about." Ram told the doctor to take a closer look.

But the doctor kept repeating the same reason, and with Ram's insistence, the doctor became somewhat helpless. "Okay, am I alright? Look," Fujiwara Chika said as she applied lipstick, instantly improving her complexion.

Ram looked at Fujiwara Chika, who looked no different from before after applying lipstick, and realized that she had lost her weakness. She marveled at how much lipstick could do for women; it was practically a woman's unique magic.

They had just stepped out of the infirmary when they saw a haunted house around the corner. "A haunted house! I want to go see it!" Ram pulled Xia Yan, wanting to go inside. Xia Yan looked at Fujiwara Chika and said, "You wait for us at the door. We'll be right back."

Because Xia Yan was worried about Fujiwara Chika's health, he told her not to go in and to rest outside while they returned. However, what Fujiwara Chika found even more unbearable than fear was that she couldn't participate in what they were talking about.

The thought that Xia Yan and Ram would definitely talk about the haunted house when they came out later, while she would be like an invisible person who couldn't get a word in edgewise, made Fujiwara Chika feel even more terrified.

“Wow, I’m all better now, and I’ve even become bolder. I’ve always wanted to go to the haunted house!” Fujiwara Chika stood up and followed Natsuhiko and Ram.

"As expected of me, Fujiwara Chika!" Ram also expressed her delight.

Chapter 89 Xia Yan Protects Qianhua

"Is it okay, Chika?" This was the first time Xia Yan had seen Fujiwara Chika so brave. Xia Yan was still skeptical about Chika's claim that she had always wanted to go to a haunted house.

"Okay, the doctor only said I can't do strenuous exercise, he didn't say my heart can't handle it. I want to go, take me with you." Qianhua was a little anxious at this moment, because she was afraid that Xia Yan and Ram would abandon her under the guise of doing what was best for her.

“In that case, when you’re scared, just hide behind me and I’ll protect you.” Xia Yan patted his left chest with his right hand, showing Fujiwara Chika that she could lean on any spot.

Seeing Natsuhiko's action, Fujiwara Chika silently lowered her head and softly said "Okay." "Yay, I can finally go to the haunted house with Chika!" Ram was very excited about Fujiwara Chika's addition.

"What about me? Why wasn't I mentioned?" Xia Yan asked Ram for an explanation after hearing that Ram said he was happy to go to the haunted house with Fujiwara Chika, but Ram didn't mention his name.

"Well... well, boys shouldn't be so petty~" Ram nudged Xia Yan's arm with her elbow, glancing at him with a smile, telling him to be more magnanimous and not hold a grudge about it.

Xia Yan smiled helplessly at Ram, and then the three of them went into the haunted house. The entrance to haunted houses is usually decorated in a particularly scary way, and the haunted house they went to was no exception.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a series of strange noises, like chickens squawking and ghosts howling, came out, which was quite frightening. There were also lights that flashed green and red to create an atmosphere. Fujiwara Chika moved her position closer to Natsuhiko.

Ram charged ahead, and there wasn't a trace of fear on her face. Fujiwara Chika watched Ram stride forward from behind, feeling a mixture of envy for Ram's courage and self-reproach for her own uselessness.

"Don't worry, Ram is naturally bold. Girls should be a little weaker so that boys can feel more protective of them." Xia Yan, who was protecting Fujiwara Chika behind him, seemed to know what Chika was thinking.

He turned to Fujiwara Chika and said this, then turned back to the front, "You can cover your eyes, then hold onto my clothes and follow me." Natsuhiko said this to Chika from the front.

Chika's heart was instantly enveloped in something warm, like being at the bottom of a swimming pool, surrounded by warm water, and she couldn't hear a sound, only seeing Xia Yan's back.

Fujiwara Chika did as Natsuhiko said, grabbing Natsuhiko's shirt with one hand and her bag with the other, closing her eyes tightly, waiting for Natsuhiko to take her out.

Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes, but she couldn't shut her ears. What was most frightening was the screaming of the ghosts on both sides of the path. Because of this sound, Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes even tighter.

Did Chika bump into Natsuhiko in her excitement? She felt Natsuhiko's wet back. So even the brave Natsuhiko can be scared. Fujiwara Chika thought to herself silently.

The inside of the haunted house was alright, but the lighting was a bit scary. At some point, Xia Yan could no longer see Ram. Ram must have already gone out. Now, only he and Fujiwara Chika behind him remained.

Chapter Ninety Eating at a Restaurant

"Be careful, this floorboard is shaking." When Xia Yan walked to a certain place, he noticed that the floorboard was shaking on its own, so he reminded Fujiwara Chika to be careful of the floor.

However, what Natsuhiko didn't expect was that Fujiwara Chika didn't open her eyes even once during the whole process, and when Natsuhiko pointed to the floor and told Chika to be careful, Chika didn't know which floor he was referring to.

Xia Yan simply pointed without turning around to look at Chika. Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes slightly and barely made out which floorboard Xia Yan was referring to. "It should be these 400 pieces."

The most terrifying floorboards are usually the ones placed in the very center, so Fujiwara Chika walked over to the one on the side and exclaimed, "Oh my god!" She experienced what it felt like to be in an earthquake.

In an instant, Fujiwara Chika jumped out and landed on Natsuhiko's side. Natsuhiko was waiting for Chika at the next entrance. When Chika screamed, Natsuhiko immediately turned to look at her.

At that moment, Chika's head bumped right into Natsuhiko's head. "Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, laughter could be heard in this terrifying place. The source of the two laughing voices, a man and a woman, was Fujiwara Chika and Natsuhiko.

Xia Yan and Fujiwara Chika looked at each other and smiled for a while. Fujiwara Chika also opened her eyes. When she looked at the face in front of her, her attention was not at all on the demons and monsters around her.

It was such a magical face that it made her forget the dire situation she was in. Fujiwara Chika thought to herself, "Are you alright, Chika? Let's hurry up and get out of here. Ram must be getting impatient with us."

Xia Yan glanced at Chika's forehead, then touched his own. Fortunately, neither of them had gotten a big bump. Xia Yan immediately grabbed Fujiwara Chika's wrist and rushed towards the exit.

Perhaps the shaking of the floor was the climax of the haunted house, and everything afterward seemed so ordinary, or perhaps it was because I saw Xia Yan's face with beads of sweat on his temples that I felt so excited when Xia Yan grabbed my wrist.

As she rushed out, she was able to open her eyes wide. "It's nothing special, nothing scary," Fujiwara Chika thought to herself. She felt strange that she had become brave enough to face the monsters on both sides of the path.

Despite Xia Yan pulling her wrist, she felt a pain in her wrist as Xia Yan sped up, his long strides and long legs making it difficult for her to keep up. However, Xia Yan's back seemed to erase the pain from her mind.

"My God, you're finally out!" The chaotic fiber optic cable in front of us had been replaced by the daytime sunlight, or more accurately, the setting sun, because it was no longer so dazzling.

Ram had been waiting at the door for a long time. "My stomach is calling your names along with me, didn't you hear me?" Ram puffed out his belly and then rubbed his round belly with his hand.

Xia Yan was amused by his action, and Fujiwara Chika covered her mouth and looked at Ram with a smile in her eyes. "Let's go eat," Ram said, stepping between Xia Yan and Fujiwara Chika and lifting their wrists.

She strode briskly towards the restaurant near the nearest amusement park. It seemed Ram was starving. "Ram, how did you get here so fast?" Fujiwara Chika asked, looking at Ram as Ram pulled her along.

Chapter Ninety-One: Eating

As Fujiwara Chika watched Ram's retreating figure, she recalled the scene of her and Natsuhiko emerging from the haunted house. She was immediately grateful for Ram's hungry stomach, because that was why Ram hadn't noticed that Natsuhiko had also been holding Chika's wrist when they came out.

Given Ram's gossipy nature, she certainly wouldn't miss the chance to tease the two of them. Thankfully, the timely rain and the feeling of hunger saved Fujiwara Chika from an awkward situation with Natsuhiko.

However, Fujiwara Chika was also afraid that Ram might remember something again, so she steered the conversation to the haunted house, letting it also act as a helper to erase Ram's memories. "Wow, that haunted house was really exciting."

Ram, who was leaning slightly forward, suddenly leaned back towards Fujiwara Chika. Because of Ram's sudden approach, Fujiwara Chika took a step back to avoid Ram's spitting on her face.

Ram was a head taller than him, and the saliva that shot out of his mouth formed a perfect parabola as it landed on his face. "Did you see that? The Black and White Impermanence figures made in this shop are the most exquisite I've ever seen."

Ram became increasingly interested in the topic of haunted houses. Xia Yan looked at Ram and Fujiwara Chika, then smiled slightly at Chika, as if to say, "You see, Ram is such an emotionally rich person."

Fujiwara Chika was taken aback, not expecting that she could read the meaning in Xia Yan's eyes. Her face flushed red instantly, and she turned her face away. "Chika, I'm talking to you. Why aren't you looking at me from either side?"

Ram noticed that Chika was fidgeting and seemed to be reluctant to talk about the haunted house. So he stopped talking and they arrived at the restaurant entrance without realizing it.

The restaurant's main dish was curry rice. "Wow, curry rice! I love curry rice the most! What do you guys think of this place?" Ram pointed to the menu sign outside the restaurant and said to Chika and Natsuhiko.

“Curry, I love it too, Chika, what about you?” Xia Yan nodded to indicate that he agreed to have curry rice for dinner, and then looked at Fujiwara Chika next to him to ask her opinion.

“I also really like it. I didn’t expect we had the same hobby, hehe.” Fujiwara Chika saw that the two of them liked curry rice, and she also liked the sweet and greasy feeling of curry rice.
