Chapter 143

Since Nala prohibited us from using any powers that a normal human has, we were forced to drive there in a car, none of us have ever needed to drive a car as we could just fly around, but apparently, Nala said driving a car is like flying a space ship, you just have to be more careful.

Nala was driving, I'm sitting in the passenger seat and Mia is sitting on my lap, both of us are bored from how slow we were moving, but I didn't say anything when I saw how happy Nala was, and Mia didn't open her mouth probably because she didn't wish to be scolded.

After half-an-hour of slow driving and constantly stopping because of the stupid human traffic rules, we parked, finally arriving at our destination though it looked weird. It was standing high in the sky with the shape of a mushroom while a spiral tube circled around the stem.

Nala-"Alright we've arrived, this place is called Dream Land, it's an amusement park that's meant for a family to enjoy time together."

Getting out of the vehicle to go to this amusement park, which would've taken us less than 10 seconds to arrive at if he flew, we walked through the parking lot and noticed that several groups of families were also heading to Dream Land, though most of them looked like normal humans.

Once we got close to the base of the building, we saw a line of people at the entrance which we sadly had to wait in if we wanted access to Dream Land, after several minutes of waiting in line it was finally our turn.

Employee-"Tickets for Adults are 25 Zeni, tickets for children are 12 Zeni."

Nala-"2 adults and one child, here is 62 Zeni."

Employee-"Thank you and have a wonderful time at Dream Land."

When Nala finished paying, we walked toward the entrance of the spiral tube that was right behind the Employee's desk, when we arrived 3 seats appeared from a compartment undeath the tube, and a mechanical voice instructed us on what to do.

[Sit down in the seat, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.]

We all followed the instructions and sat down, though Nala looked quite ridiculous with her tail wrapped around the seat, once we were all buckled up, we started accelerating through the tube, our top speed wasn't that fast but it was probably about the same speed of the vehicle we used to drive here. As we were going up we could see the scenery of the city down below and while I'm sure that would be quite the view for a normal human, it wasn't anything special to any of us.

When we arrived at the top, a hatch opened allowing us to finally see Dream Land the amusement park, once our momentum fully stopped we unbuckled and got up from the chairs, which went back down into another compartment.

While looking around at all the happy and excited humans enjoying their time, we quickly joined the traffic of humans and started walking around Dream Land while looking at all the various activities available.

You could see people in mini-cars ramming into each other, a giant spinning wheel standing up straight, what looked like a train driving on rails through the sky, several places to eat, and tons of other things to do.

Sage-"So dear, since you've planned this out, what shall we experience first?"

Nala-"Hmm, well let's start off with something that doesn't seem too crazy, like that over there."

Mia and I both look to where she's pointing and see an old run-down mansion, with a sign hanging above it.

Mia-"Haunted Mansion, the hideout of ghosts. Is this supposed to be a scary place?"

Sage-"Don't know, but on the bright side at least it doesn't have a line like all the other activities we saw, so let's go."

When we arrived all we saw was a green carpet leading the way and an arrow pointing towards the open door, we didn't dally and walked through the door, though when we did the door slammed shut, causing a loud sound to echo through the mansion.

Nala-"EEEEEEEk!"

Nala, a grown woman who's seen tons of battles throughout her life, got scared by a door closing, though the worst part about this is she's the only one who got scared.

Sage-"Nala, a door closed, calm down, and can you unwrap yourself from around me."

Nala-"Ah, yes, sorry, I was just surprised that's all."

Once Nala had composed herself, she unwrapped herself from around me and got back onto the ground while trying to look as professional as possible, though I noticed she didn't leave from my side.

Shaking my head, Nala and I follow behind Mia as we make our down the path laid out for us, while turning a corner into a hallway, something ugly pops out from the ceiling with the intention of scaring us, though Mia and I just look at the creature in boredom, however that couldn't be the same for Nala.

Nala-"AHHH, MONSTER!!"

I had to hold Nala down to stop her from attacking that human disguised as an ugly monster, because while Nala may be physically weak, that's just from my standpoint, compared to a human, Nala would be able to crush a human head quite easily and although Nala spends most of her time studying magic or technology she does do some physical training, just nowhere near as an intense as mine and the reason she even trains is because of a human quote she read somewhere that said 'A strong body will house an even stronger mind.' Now I don't know if that's true but I'm not going to tell Nala to stop training.

When Nala finally calmed down, we once again continued on the path, though this time I made sure to hold Nala's hand, had to be careful in case she suddenly starts attacking again. The adventure went on for a while with various different jump scares from zombies to monsters, to ghosts, to even normal humans with random weapons, and each time Nala got scared, and I don't even know how it happened, considering she should've been expecting them to appear.

By the time we left the mansion, Nala was completely wrapped around my body, with her head dug into my neck, while refusing to let go, only when we left the mansion did she finally unwrap herself from me.

Nala-"L-Let's take a short break first."

We agreed as Mia and I could see Nala still hasn't fully regained her composure, though while walking we passed by a booth with screens that showed pictures of us experiencing the haunted mansion, I, of course, had to go and print some pictures as how could I not, Nala's scared face is quite adorable but mainly funny.

As I looked through the several photos I chuckled to myself before hiding them in my pockets and quickly catching back up with Nala and Mia who have sat down at some benches.

Nala-"What took you so long Sage?"

Sage-"hehe, nothing, just saw something funny."
