43 Side Chapter Elizabeth Date 3

{This takes place a few days after Yukari and Ryouta confession}

Ryouta has been taking Elizabeth on a few dates and this time Ryouta showed her the shrine

Elizabeth: This place is similar to a temple...it is a shrine. Now that I'm here I sense mysterious presences ...but they are marked differently than Shadows

Ryouta: 'that's because they're gods or spirits... '

They walk to the prayer

Elizabeth: Well then. I shall first observe the local traditions and worship at the shrine

She then dumps a ton of coins into the prayer...causing Ryouta eyes to bleed

she seemed to have a satisfied expression on her face

Elizabeth: I have finally presented my offering. Though I don't reside in this world... I wonder if I. too may receive divine grace. I wonder if this system of monetary offerings is very similar to that of a wishing fountain

Ryouta: You really love those don't you...

Elizabeth: Well of course. There are so many places to request good fortune" She then sounded sad " you live in a wondrous place.

she looks to the side

Elizabeth: could those paper slips be?

She walks over to them

Elizabeth: As I thought they're paper fortunes...I heard of this game where people entrust their destiny to a slip of paper and exult in the risk.

She looks at them

Elizabeth: I see there are many destinies written on them. Well I'd like to experiment myself

After that, she wrote until she was satisfied. As they were leaving she notices a playground

Elizabeth: I've been curious what are those things

She puts on hand up and says

Elizabeth: If memory serves...these are called a slide and a jungle gym. The inner self is exposed to any true god...the magnanimity of spirit excuses all and that being the case.., let's try these out

She first tried the slide and slid down with her feet

Elizabeth: intriguing. One must first claw the way to the top before relaxing in luxury. This playground equipment teaches a profound lesson on the true way of the world

Ryouta: Yup like I always say Trix are not just for kids

Elizabeth: That was a lot of fun! Now can you instruct me on the jungle gym

Ryouta did and she ended up getting trapped inside

They did other stuff in the playground and Ryouta smiled at her

Elizabeth: Today was even better than the previous excursions out...To be honest I've been wondering lately...Is this world enjoyable to me simply because of the novelty of the stimuli presents...? It could also be that I...Well, perhaps I may in truth be enjoying our time together. because we are together...In any event...I believe I'll open negotiations with my master to bring a horizontal bar into our room...I'd like to accompany you sometime again
