Welcome to the amusement park where people of all ages can have fun: SANCTUARY!

.........

.........

I welcome you, Ra*bits. Although, right now it appears that there are only two of you.

Yes... Both Tomoya-kun and Nii~chan have been missing ever since yesterday.

I'm worried, so...I don't think I can have fun in an amusement park right now. You went through the trouble of inviting us and yet... I'm sorry.

Ahh, don't make such a sad face! A smile suits you better, Shinonon⁠♪

Uhm. I already told you so before, but please don't call me Shinonon.

Why not? I'm simply copying the way Subaru-kun calls you. Haven't your fans also started calling you Shinonon these days?

If it's from my fans it's okay—or rather, I don't mind it.

But in your case, Eichi-onii-chan, how do I say it... It kind of gives me the creeps⁠—

I'm so sorry!

Hehe. It gives you the creeps... What a cruel thing to say. I'm hurt.

I wonder if you think me calling you Shinonon out of envy for your closeness with Subaru-kun is creepy.

Uhm, eh, what...?

You are right to feel grossed out.

But your disgust fills me with joy like dribbling nectar, so I must insist on calling you so.

Ugh... Please stop it, I'm being serious. Or do you not want to be called "Eichi-onii-chan" anymore?

Ah, that would be no good! I can already picture Ritsu-kun proudly boasting about being the only one who gets called "onii-chan"!

My pride wouldn't allow for something like that to happen.

Hehe. You've gotten better at negotiating, Hajime-kun. I promise I won't ever call you Shinonon again.

Yes! Ehehe, I'm happy you finally got it⁠♪

Of course I did. I, Eichi-onii-chan, swear that I will never imitate anything that could hurt you.

Onii-chan...⁠♪

.........

Eichi-sama. For a while now, Tenma-sama has been looking at you as if he were looking at some disgusting bug, so I'd recommend for you to stop playing around.

I know, right? Hajime, isn't your group involved in some kind of weird situation? Stop messing around or I won't be able to help!

Yes. That's what a noble ought to do.

Hehe. You always remember the most important stuff, Tori⁠♪

Eh, ehehe...⁠♪

Tehe. How nice. I know I shouldn't be relieved about it, but when Tori-kun is around, I know Eichi-onii-chan will definitely pamper him.

You're wrong! I have two hands, so I can very easily embrace both of you at the same time...⁠♪

Grrrr! You're weirdin' me out! Stay away from Hajime-chan!

Aah! It's okay! It's okay, Mitsuru-kun! This is normal for him! But for some reason, today he's holding back less than usual...!

Tehe. I can't help it. After all, one of my lifelong dreams has come true⁠♪

This park... I heard Eichi-onii-chan was the one who ordered it to be built.

Building an amusement park was his dream? Hmm... In that case, he's not such a bad guy? Maybe?

He's being incredibly wary of you, Eichi-sama.

Not wary enough, in my opinion. Young children believe in the innate kindness of others too easily. Quite unfortunate.

After all, not everyone in this world will treat you kindly, and simply being a good child will not guarantee you happiness later in life.

I thought everyone learned that over the summer.
