## Summary

Tohru, Kobayashi, Kanna and Illulu visit an amusement park.

## Plot

Kanna wants to go to an amusement park but Kobayashi says she is too busy and she's never gotten the reason why people like those places. Kanna guesses Kobayashi never went to one and will teach her about, which strikes Kobayashi as true though she doesn't want to admit it.

Kobayashi, not wanting the dragons to teach her something about her own world, lies about being there and decides to take them. Kobayashi asks Illulu is she wants to come, but Illulu declines. Tohru is surprised at how different it is, like a different world, and Kobayashi agrees but stops herself from saying more.

Someone says it is a magical place, where unexpected encounters turn into an everlasting memory and you can forget your pains. Kobayashi recognizes the voice and gets exited to meet Georgie but gets surprised seeing her in a mascot outfit. Georgie thinks of it as a different maid but Kobayashi thinks that its more of a stretch. Georgie explains she works there to get more maid outfits and Kobayashi respects that.

People are calling out to Georgie to take a picture with her, so before she leaves she says there is a new attraction Kobayashi will like just opened up. Saikawa calls and runs up to Kanna, and Kobayashi gets suspicious Kanna called her, but Saikawa silently whispers Georgie called her and rushed over there. Kanna goes with Saikawa and Kobayashi tells Kanna to meet them at the ferris wheel around four.

While Kobayashi ponders what to do, Tohru decides to have some adult time together, though Kobayashi prepares her crime whistle.

They decide to wander around, entering a fun house, inside a room full of mirrors. Tohru asks what is the point of it and Kobayashi thinks its to reexamine and come to terms with their physical state, but the answer is because its a maze, but Tohru still accepts she is in human form. Kobayashi notices Tohru has no problem waling around and Tohru explains she is using the echo of their voices, which Kobayashi compares to a bat.

Tohru and Kobayashi ride the teacup ride and Kobayashi recognizes the ride, turning the wheel. Tohru asks what the fun is and Kobayashi, who is secretly having fun, thinks its because of centrifugal force. Tohru thinks its weird that because humans are controlled by planetary rotation, they spin around to deepen their knowledge about the force and Kobayashi decides not to explain any further.

Tohru decides to spin the teacup, making them go fast and Kobayashi very dizzy.

In the merry-go-round, Tohru thinks unicorns are fitting as they care about purity and thinks rides caused misunderstandings about the danger about mythical beasts. Kobayashi asks if unicorns will be interested in her but Tohru says Kobayashi's purity belongs to her, which Kobayashi thinks is creepy.

At the wave swinger, Tohru is confused why humans are obsessed with rotation as they're all lot of spinning-based rides, and Kobayashi thinks humans are always running around in circles.

Meanwhile, Kanna and Saikawa are exploring the haunted house, and Saikawa gets scared but Kanna tells her she will protect her.

At the roller coaster, Saikawa asks to hold Kanna's hand, and Kanna thinks Saikawa is a scaredy cat.

Kobayashi sees Kanna on the roaller coaster and thinks about riding it, but Tohru tells her to ride her instead but Kobayashi declines explaining Tohru doesn't have any rails. Tohru guesses Kobayashi wants to play it safe and Kobayashi explains she wants to keep on living.

Tohru thinks its been fun, but Kobayashi points out Tohru has been complaining the whole time. Tohru says the darkest pits of hell would be fun if Kobayashi were with her, but Kobayashi passes down on it but agrees that she is having fun with Tohru.

Kobayashi decides to check on the place Georgie recommended, which is a cafe and notices it is a maid cafe. Tohru recognizes the maids as Victorian maids as the stuff Kobayashi talks about and forced her to wear and notices Kobayashi smile for the first time that day.

Kobayashi drinks at the cafe before meeting up with Kanna, who says she is late, and Kobayashi apologises as she lost track of time and offers for all of them to ride the ferris wheel together.

While on the ferris wheel, Kobayashi asks Tohru what's wrong and Tohru says they go there to whirl around, ride things that zoom up, down and side to side and has rides modeled after mythical creatures.

Kobayashi wonders if the amusement park reminds Tohru of her old world but Tohru speaks aloud that its a scam so humans can simulate what its like to ride a dragon and thinks humans are mocking her. She offers Kobayashi to ride her every day but Kobayashi thinks her lungs will give out from screaming. Kobayashi thinks to herself it wouldn't be bad to ride her once in a while as it is for her back.
