"It's just a bit of rexation during the holidays."
"Even though I don't particurly enjoy going out, it's necessary to get some fresh air every now and then."
"Who are y to fool?"
Suzuki Sonoko couldn't recall a single instance where this person ever came to an amusement park just to "get some fresh air."
However, she didn't call her out directly. There was o waste words on someone like this. Besides, Sonoko had other priorities today.
"Well, enjoy your fresh air then."
She turo her chauffeur. "Uncle Ryo, pick me up in the evening."
"Yes, Miss."
After speaking with her driver, Sonoko walked straight into Tropical Land.
Meanwhile, the other young dy, Shinomiya Kaguya, dubbed the "ice queen" was quietly reminded by her maid.
"Miss Kaguya, it's rare for you to take a day off. Please don't waste it."
From the maid's to was clear she was even more impatient than her master.
"Hayasaka," Kaguya said in a cold voice. "Don't you find it suspicious that Miss Suzuki is here as well?"
Her brow furrowed slightly, and her fingers nervously twitched.
"Could she be looking for the same person as me?"
Hayasaka Ai nodded lightly.
"If you aren't imagining things, Miss, then it's possible your experience isn't unique."
"Just as you're here to firm that persoehers might have the same idea."
Kaguya fell silent, deep in thought.
"Let's head ioday's goal is just to firm the authenticity of this person. Don't let him notice us. If he sees me, he'll likely figure out that I also possess a diary."
"Uood, Miss. I've made the necessary arras."
Hayasaka bowed slightly, exuding an air of readiness.
To ensure Kaguya wouldn't be seen by the person she sought, Hayasaka had already stationed a motorhome in a nearby parking spot. Ihe amusement park, she had arranged for multiple individuals to act as their eyes.

Onside Tropical Land, Suzuki put on a pair of sungsses a her eyes glued to the entrance.
Before long, she spotted her target, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, entering the park together.

While all this was happening, Ren was still busy handing out flyers and balloons to the numerous children visiting the park.
The weekend eant there were far more kids than usual, and many of them wanted balloons.
Ren soon found himself running out and had to go fetother batch of balloons to hand out.
The m shift flew by, and before he k, it was lunchtime.
At noon, Ren headed to the staff area to eat. The park provided lunch for workers, so he didn't have to prepare anything eborate himself.
His meal was simple: glutinous rice balls sprinkled with sugar, twe rice balls, and two bottles of electrolyte drinks to replenish his energy.
"There's nothing unusual so far," Ren muttered to himself, wiping sweat from his brow. His clothes were damp and g to his body from the m's work.
"Even though this is Tropical Land, it seems like I've avoided running into the Death God today."
The thought alone made his rice balls taste sweeter.
"No one's noticed the diary yet, have they?"
"Is this different from what I imagined? Maybe it's not one of those 'exposure flow' sarios after all."
It was too early to draw clusions. After all, he'd only writtery in the diary so far. He figured he'd o write a few more before anything signifit happened.
"I've got some time before my afternoon shift. Might as well write about what happehis m."
With that, Ren pulled a pen and his diary from his backpack while sitting in the locker room.

[Diary Entry]
[Today is a part-time job day, and the location is Tropical Land. My work involves distributing flyers and balloons while wearing a heavy mascot e.]
[This job isn't as easy as I thought it'd be.]
[The mascot e is much heavier than I expected.]
[But that's not the main issue. The key point is that I didn't enter the Death God today. If I had, this shift would've been a lot more troublesome.]
[Well, there wasn't much of his m. Nothing plicated happened, and I didn't notiy special people in Tropical Land. Maybe they're avoiding me, or maybe no one's noticed me yet.]
[There's still a lot of specution to be made.]
[But if this really is an exposure flow, then based on what I know, people who read the diary should receive some kind of reward, just like how I get rewards for writing in it.]
[Whether the rewards are good or bad is probably random.]
---
After writing the st sentence, Ren closed the diary.
He hadn't finished his diary for the day, so he couldn't draw any rewards just yet.
Besides, he'd already decided yesterday to perform some "rituals" before his lottery draw. He po take a bath, burn inse, and make s to see if he could influence his luck.

Meanwhile, the two young dies who also possessed diaries felt theirs vibrate. Opening them, they saw the updated tent.
"So, there are rewards for reading the diary? How cliché," Nagi muttered, a grin spreading across her face.
Flipping through the test diary entry, Nagi couldn't help but marvel at how this setup resembled those cssic tropes from the time-travel novels she'd read in the past.
[pleted reading the first day's diary.]
[Achievement Unlocked: First Day.]
[Reool Unlocked.]
Nagi's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"This is my ce to prove the diary's existeo Maria and Isumi! If I draw something tangible, I show it to them!"
"Maria, is there a quieter p the amusement park? I don't want the bodyguards seeing what's about to happen."
Although Maria didn't fully uand, she responded calmly.
"There's a motorhome he work vehicle Kus prepared. It's meant for your afternoon nap."
"Perfect! Let's head there now!"
