Towa
(I'm tired again today~. I only meant to go to the arcade, but it turned into quite a long affair...)

Towa
(Well, but I cheered up Iroha...so I did a pretty good job in the end, didn't I.)

Towa's Mother
Towa~? Do you have a moment?

Towa
Mm, I guess so.

Towa's Mother
About what I mentioned the other day...have you decided where you want to go?

Towa
Huh? What are you talking about?

Towa's Mother
You know, we talked about it the other day. Since it's a holiday on the upcoming Children's Day, let's go somewhere.

Towa
Ah, we did talk about that. To be honest, I still just want to laze around at home.

Towa's Mother
I think playing outside once in a while would be fun too, you know?

Towa's Mother
It's a rare day off when the whole family is together. So just this time...okay? Come on, Towa.

Towa
Ugh...

Towa
(She's being unusually persistent today...I seriously don't have anywhere I want to go...)

Towa
(But she doesn't seem ready to back down...hmm...can't be helped, here goes...)

Towa
...Then, anywhere is fine as long as it's a place where I can have a different experience from what I usually do.

Towa's Mother
Oh, really! Alright. Dad and Mum will look for something.

Towa
Okay, please do~.

Towa
(Can't help it...it'll kill a day, but family service is necessary once in a while. Well, I'll just get through it casually on the day.)

Towa
...No, no no...I mean sure, right? I said 'anywhere is fine as long as it's a place where I can have a different experience from usual'?

Towa
But of all things, why THIS!?

Towa's Mother
Huh? It looks fun, doesn't it? It's a zip slide! You know, in those games you play too, it's often...

Towa
Game characters use special skills! I'm a normal human! I don't have a body that should be flying from such heights!

Towa's Mother
But with this, even you can have an extraordinary experience you can't taste in daily life, Towa!

Towa
No no...what I meant wasn't something physical like this...something more like...easy and relaxing rides...

Towa's Mother
Now now. Once in a while, something like this is good too.

Towa's Father
You might find it refreshing if you try it. Look, both Dad and Mum are here, there's nothing to worry about, right?

Towa
Even if you say that...the zip slide itself is for one person, right? You two can't come help when push comes to shove...

Towa's Mother
It's fine, it seems there are proper safety devices. There's even a net below. Even if you fall, you'll be okay!

Towa
No no no, we're assuming I'll fall!? No way! What if I get traumatised!

Towa's Mother
Now now, no complaining! Everything is an experience.

Towa's Mother
Plus, even while being scared, if you let out a big voice and make a lot of noise, it becomes stress relief!

Towa
Ugh...

Towa
(Everything is an experience? Do actors need zip slide experience!?!?)

Towa
(No, wait Towa...this is an action scene...right, it can't be helped, because I'm an actor...if I think of it that way...)

Towa
...But even thinking that doesn't make it doable! Scary things are scary!

Staff
Next customer in line, please!

Towa
!?
