It was a fine day for just about anything, a stroll, exercise, or even a date. Yes, thanks to a certain promise Sophia was here at the local amusement park waiting for a certain Ordinary Magician to show up. She wasn’t exactly regretting it, but she wished she hadn’t made a promise like that in the heat of the moment. At least she didn’t promise him an unspecified favour, who knows what Izumi would ask her to do?

… Okay bad idea, now she was blushing deeply. The girl smacked her cheeks in a vain attempt to clear the flush. Seeing how he wanted to tease her nonstop once he found out about her sensitive wings, she didn’t really want to know what he’d do if he saw her like this.

Come to think of it, where was Izumi? He was the one who called her to remind her about the deal. Sophia thought that he would be here by now, considering how eager he was. The girl straightened out her dress and checked her appearance in a small mirror, at least she had more time to clear up this blush…

She should take it back, there won't be any time for her at all.

"Kyun~" Came a light voice as she would feel something, or someone lightly stroking up her back. The identity of which would soon enough be revealed by a fairly cheerful "Hello Sophie~" and the sight of the Ordinary Magician right behind her with his trusted flying broom. Nicely dressed as he always would in his usual black vest and pants with white shirt color scheme, sleek yet slightly messy golden hair with a single lock of hair tied into a braid at the side of his head. He would have looked fine and dandy if it wasn't for that odd pointed hat that would never leave off his head.

Today was an exception though. Even though he's brought his broom (presumably how he managed to get here), his pointed hat was instead replaced with a much more socially acceptable dark brown beret. "Ehehe~ You looked so nervous and cute waiting, I can't help but let you wait a lot more~"

...What, he made her wait on purpose?

“Kya!!”

With a yelp of surprise Sophia dashed a good five meters away when she felt the tingling sensation crawling up her back, blushing deeper than before. When she saw who it was the look of surprise became one of (mostly) mock annoyance and she pouted at the Ordinary Magician. “D…Don’t sneak up on me like that! And w…what’s with that st…stroke?”

Sheesh… she was nervous enough as is, no need to make her more so. All that waiting and he suddenly shows up like… Wait, he made her wait on purpose!? “H…Hmph! Well it’s your loss, more time waiting means less time for our da… day out you know?” Somehow she didn’t really want to use the word “date”, not anymore at least. Something tells her if she used it Izumi would never let her forget it… either that or decide on his own that she was his girlfriend.

Annnnd bad move. Thinking about being his girlfriend just made her more flustered. Quick, quick… think about something else… Oh hey, he’s not wearing that wizard hat today. “A…Anyways… what happened to your wizard hat? I thought you’d never leave home without it.” The girl smiled playfully, thinking she had found something she could tease him with. “Come to think of it… I’ve never seen you without something on your head, are you hiding something under there?”

"Well, sometimes I'd keep my mini-Hakkero in here, most of the time nothing really," As he said that he took off his hat, shaking it a bit over his open hand and out came his odd trigram box he clearly had been keeping in there.

Well that was a bit of a disappointment. Then again he'd always called himself 'Ordinary'. Did that actually made people expect the opposite of him and thought he'd be hiding some great secret or something?

More to the point though, "But yeah, I usually don't leave the hat behind," He said as he stuffed the trigram box back into the hat before putting it back on his head. "But just for today I want to make an exception. Not Kirisame Izumi, the Ordinary Magician," His voice softened slightly from his usual energetic one, tipping his hat once before moving forward to take her hand with a happy grin. "But Kirisame Izumi, the lucky guy who's going to spend the whole day being with Sophia Antistita,"

There be whispers and giggles from the people around them.

Huh… so he really was hiding something under there, too bad it wasn’t really something she could use against him. Oh well, at least she saw what his hair looked like under the hat… which was surprisingly normal. A part of her wished he had some kind of funny hairstyle, but alas that wasn’t the case. That didn’t mean Izumi didn’t have any other surprises in store for her though.

…Seriously, at this rate she was going to faint from how much she was blushing. “W…w…w…what was that!? I… I bet y…you s…say that to a…all the girls w…who you go on dates w…with!” The girl turned away only to see that some passerbys were watching them and giggling, no doubt thinking they’re a couple. She tried to look away from them as well but found that they were more or less surrounded by the whispering onlookers, so instead she grabbed Izumi by the arm and dragged him into the park. “C…come on! Let’s get g…going already!”

…She probably didn’t realize that made her sound overly eager for their date.

"Ohoho, aren't you so eager~" He teased inevitably, giving a chuckle that sounded more like some rich lady's laugh after receiving a compliment on her midnight blue satin dress from France. For now though, he just let himself get dragged away from the crowds and into the park.

Somewhere inside his head though...

Alright, phase one is a great success! Whispered the consciousness of Kirisame Izumi as he punched the metaphorical air as though celebrating a victory, unseen by anyone else but Izumi himself. In order to make sure the day ends with her having the best date she would ever have, I have stayed up the whole night meticulously and intricately formulating a brilliant and fail-proof plan! His consciousness continued to talk to himself, rubbing his hands together and actually looking like a mad scientist instead of a normal person... Phase one, lower her guard: Teasing and compliments are necessary, the objective here is to draw out the part of her she would almost never show to anyone else. When she does, you're on the right track. Phase two, start enjoying the time together! This is the time when you lead the way, make her feel comfortable being with you. Which would then lead to phase three! ...Whatever phase three is, he... didn't actually think that far, but never mind that! This is a brilliantly fool-proof plan, and he calls it... The Make Sophie Happy With The Best Date Ever Plan!

...That's... actually arguably kind of impressive...? "Hahaha! It's brilliant, brilliant brilliant!" Eep- he actually let his internal monologue get out, the Ordinary Boy was quick to clasp his hand over his mouth and saying "N-nothing, nothing~ I mean you look very brilliant today~" to Sophie who would no doubt have heard him.

Right. ...Now um. Phase two, phase two...

The Ordinary Magician had to kind of stop Sophia from dragging him too much. Standing in the middle of the amusement park, his earlier confidence and cheerfulness had waned a teensy bit as he glanced around the many, MANY rides and games and entertainments scattered all around them, with people going here and there and being all noisy and crowded he thought he could lose himself in them.

...Uhm. There is... apparently a very major flaw in his plan he had overlooked...

"O-okay, uh... how... how about we try that thingy first...?!" He said with a voice that sounded a little bit too high and forced to be considered excited, his smile reached to his ears but it wasn't exactly as hearty as it had been earlier.

He was also pointing to what appears to be... a very large and grim looking haunted house.

Even with his little excuse Sophia could tell that he had something planned for today. But, knowing he was a fan of the ladies, the girl had a feeling that it really couldn’t be anything bad and was actually looking forward to seeing what it was. Too bad his confidence was short lived though, he was actually pretty cute when he was all worked up. Wonder what happened… maybe he was too excited by the prospect of going on the rides?

“A haunted house hmm? Are you sure? I thought you scared easily~” Sophia nudged the Ordinary Magician in the arm playfully and stuck her tongue out at him. Yes, if he was trying to get her to behave in a way she wouldn’t show anyone else, he most certainly was succeeding. “Well, if you insist. Don’t worry, if anything scary shows up I’ll protect you~”

Once again Izumi will find himself being dragged into the haunted house, though this time Sophia was fully aware of what she was doing. Call it payback for teasing her so much earlier, but she wasn’t going to let him off that easily.

Uhm.

"W-wait wait, what is this place anyway, it looks kind of scary..." He said nervously as though pretending he had never seen what a haunted house would be expected to look like, though providing no resistance to Sophia dragging him inside he is actually starting to have second thoughts. "I-I think I'm changing my mind... Hold on, Sophie wait I don't wanna go in there, oh god, someone help me...!"

He desperately wondered why everyone was just giggling at those two when he was clearly in despair and begging for help.

Then the door closed heavily behind them reminiscent to the great doors of an old manor in any horror movies trapping the protagonists inside, and they're left in complete darkness.

“Oh come now, it’s not that bad. Just a few fake ghosts and ghouls or… or… some…thing…” Sophia’s voice faltered just a bit as the doors slammed shut behind them. Honestly she was a little scared too, being in complete darkness will do that you. Fortunately she had her training to fall back on, and the Valkyrie closed her eyes to get a better sense of her surroundings.

ROARRRR!!

An animatronic ghoul sprung out of a hidden trap door with a fearsome roar and out of instinct Sophia lashed out at the ghoul with a kick that… pretty much destroyed it. “Ah…” She lowered her leg and bashfully glanced at Izumi. “Umm… That’s going to cost me…” Maybe she shouldn’t be the one to go first… but the Ordinary Magician looked too scared. Instead she decided on a bit of a compromise and channelled a bit of magic into her hand, making it glow in a soft white light.

It wasn’t much, but it was enough to shed light on the floor a few metres in front of them. Looked like they were in a standard western mansion, but there was no telling what kind of tricks are hidden here. “Come on, we’ll be through shortly. You can cling to my arm if you want~”

Even before she offered it he was already clinging onto her... Though less because of his tendency to be playful and more... actually genuinely terrified really. Only holding onto her for something to hold on to, but his attention was completely haywire, rapidly glancing around the dark western mansion-styled haunted house as though expecting creepy crawlies and ghastly ghosts would come around and swarm at him from everywhere. "What was that sound? Oh god they're going to jump now! Think they're gone? No they're not gone... This place is cursed, we're cursed...! I don't wanna die, help me Alice...!"

...Which is really odd considering the kind of family he actually lives with now! Why is he of all people afraid of ghosts and haunted houses, this place even looks like the Hyoudin's household, shouldn't he be more used to this?

This is going to last for the whole trip by the way.



~

And it really did, by the time they were done with the haunted house and exited through the, well, exit that appeared to be at the other side of the haunted house, Izumi had all the colors drained off him, looking about as pale and clammy as a skeleton. "......no...... n-no more...... aliiiicee......" At this point he doesn't seem to even have the energy to even move his jelly-like legs, relying solely on Sophie to drag him away (who would find him to be oddly light as a feather, probably because his spirit had already left his body).

Of course, when sunlight actually hit his face, "OKAY, what kind of people would have that at an 'amusement' park?! That wasn't in the least bit amusing at all!!" he immediately regained his usual energy, though he was in no way at all pleased after what he went through. "What kind of sick couple would want to go on a date just to see a bunch of headless people walking around?! And... and bloody drawings on the wall?! And people in mirrors that aren't actually there...?! And... jumpscare cats... and...being chased by..."

He gulped, falling silent again as he unwittingly led himself to reminisce the moments within the haunted house.

Silly Izumi, will probably never see western style mansions the same way again.

Sophia couldn’t help but giggle at poor Izumi’s words, not to mention his outright adorable reactions while they were inside the haunted house. “I don’t know, but I have to admit it was pretty amusing to see you all scared like that~ You were pretty cute you know? My arm’s still a bit numb from how tight you were clinging to it.” Reaching over she pinched his cheek playfully and couldn’t resist getting one extra tease in. “But it’s usually the girl clinging to the boy and hiding behind him, isn’t it~?”

She led the hapless young man to a nearby bench and sat him down, taking a seat next to him. “Maybe Alice should add something like that to your training!” The girl was joking of course, but she wasn’t going to let Izumi off that easily. “Her place is a mansion already, so it’s perfect for a haunted house. What do you think? Should I give her a call~?”

"Absolutely not, rejected, refusal, denial!" Very quick to stop her plan even if she was joking, so much he leaped off his seat. It wasn't her teasing that really got him, but more the fact that Alice would actually really take her seriously and put him in the same kind of mental torture just because it's Alice.

But- wait, hey, come on, this is not going how he planned it to go at all! I mean, look he wasn't supposed to nearly pass out the first ten minutes into a date, and was she making fun of him? "No way, nope, this is not acceptable! We're trying that again, from the top!" Looks like his standard is a bit too much to take it as it is, immediately pulling the Valkyrie back up to her feet as he let his eyes wander to scout around for...

"...That! Let's try that one this time!" He said as he pointed straight at a roller coaster. Now this will be perfect, just a bunch of cars on a rail and they go swerving and twisting and flying around, that can't be too different than his usual flying, so this time he'll surely be able to look cooler than she just did!

Seriously though, it was embarrassing being teased by a girl...

“By all means, lead the way Ordinary Magician~” Sophia let herself be pulled to her feet by the very eager Izumi. “A roller coaster this time hmm? I hope you’re not expecting me to scream like a little girl, I’m quite used to flying too you know~”

She wasn’t exactly oblivious though, the girl knew that Izumi was trying to look cool and that little episode in the haunted house was quite embarrassing for him, even if it was pretty darn cute. Too bad she was pretty prideful herself, and wasn’t about to let him outshine her. Though in all honesty she should take it easy, guys don’t like girls who make them look bad, right?

Fortunately the line was pretty short and soon they found themselves in the coaster’s car… at the very front. As the safety restraints fell into place Sophia looked over at Izumi and stuck her tongue out at Izumi. “Wanna make a bet? First one to scream buys the other a treat~”

"First one to-... wait that's not fair, I've never even-! I-I mean, sure! S-sure, first one to... scream loses...!" As confident as he tried to make himself look with the confident grin, the clattering of his teeth and the shaking of his knees even after the safety restraints were dropped over him betrayed his agitation and anxiety.

Now how bad could it really be anyway, it can't be any different than real flying can it...? There was a hiss as the carts began to shake and move, slowly rumbling forward on its track. The Ordinary Magician felt his nervousness mounting just like the cart climbing up the really high slope. It can't be that bad, he tried to reassure himself, imagining he was on his broom as he went up higher and higher. The sky was clear, perhaps dotted with a little cloud here and there, the spring sun mildly shining and there was a couple of birds flying about chirping happily. This isn't so bad, the Ordinary Magician thought to himself, closing his eyes and actually smiling as he put himself at ease. He might actually even be able to get used to this.

...This upward slope is taking an awfully long time by the way.

...Are they there yet?

...It feels like they've been climbing for over an hour. It probably had only been ten minutes and he was just exaggerating, but even ten minutes is a pretty long time to be climbing up.

Oh, he could feel himself leveling up. Have they reached the end of the climb? The Ordinary Magician decided to open his eyes.

OH GOD WHERE IS THE GROUND?!

The whole park was deafened by the banshee-like scream coming from a single ordinary magician riding the roller coaster as it rapidly rocketed down.



~

"......t-that was...... that...... no flying...... n-not.... same......" At the end after everyone had disembarked from the ride, Izumi hobbled over to the nearest lamp post and clutched onto it and never wanting to let go ever again, glad that his feet could be back on solid ground as well as holding something solid that's attached to the ground because he couldn't exactly stand up straight. Like he said, it was hardly the same as actually flying by himself, considering he was swerving and flailing and spinning and twisting around at such stupidly acute angles at such high speed and he doesn't have any control or prediction at all on how or where they would twist and turn next. It's not helping the grinding and buckling he kept hearing as the carts moved along around the tracks, as though he could feel the fragile looking thing to snap off and send them flying and splatter them all over the place.

He will never be able to fly ever again.

“Oh come now, it wasn’t that bad was it?” Sophia tried her best to keep from bursting out in laughter. To be fair that roller coaster WAS ridiculously high, even higher than what she was used to. What kept her from screaming was the fact that she was used to flying in combat, so all the flips, twists, and turns was nothing she hasn’t done before. Even then the girl had only lasted about ten seconds after Izumi screamed before letting out a loud squeal herself.

Though speaking of that… Sophia leaned up to Izumi, putting her face fairly close to his. “So… looks like I win~” A broad grin crossed her features as she declared her victory. “Meaning you owe me a treat! Why don’t we find a snack stand or something and sit down for a bit? You look like you could use a break~”
