After the roller coaster ended, Furina's legs were so weak she couldn't walk at all.
"Hey, Furina, didn't you say you weren't scared? How come you can't even stand now?"
Hu Tao, on the other hand, was perfectly fine and even stood to the side, mocking Furina.
Furina gritted her teeth and said, "I wasn't scared! I just sat for too long, so my legs went numb!"
"That was truly terrifying! What exactly happened just now? Why did the speed become so fast?"
Diona felt something was off. She scanned her surroundings, trying to find the culprit.
"Xavier, this must be your doing!"
Diona thought the person most likely to do such a thing was Xavier, the local resident.
Xavier looked innocent: "How could it be me? I'm a good youth and an upstanding citizen."
"Mhm, mhm, Xavier couldn't possibly do something like that. Diona, you must have misunderstood."
The culprit, Venti, not only showed no remorse but even spoke favorably of Xavier.
It took a long time for Furina to recover enough to get off the roller coaster, and even then, she needed to be helped.
"I'm never playing on a ride like this again. My eyes are almost blurry..."
Amber rubbed her head. Even a wind glider crash landing wasn't this thrilling.
"Alright everyone, this one was indeed a bit thrilling, but the next rides will be very comfortable."
Xavier was afraid they wouldn't dare to try the later rides, so he specifically reminded them.
"How can that be? The next rides must be even more thrilling; they must be more thrilling than the roller coaster!"
Yoimiya seemed to really enjoy roller coasters and shouted that she wanted to play something even more thrilling.
"What? No, no! This Daddy, can't play anymore. If I play anymore, I'll throw up!"
Itto quickly waved his hands, no longer caring about his identity as the Arataki Itto, the Greatest in the World.
"That's right, such a ride is a bit too thrilling. If it could be a bit more relaxing, I think it would be quite good," Ayaka agreed.
Seeing that everyone seemed a bit hesitant to play, Yoimiya asked Kokomi, "What about you, Kokomi?"
Kokomi paused and said, "Although my original intention was to relieve stress, this method of stress relief is a bit too much..."
Kokomi spoke somewhat tactfully, but she also indicated that she didn't really want to play such thrilling rides.
"Alright, alright, if that's the case, then let's go play some more relaxing rides!"
The radical faction, led by Hu Tao and Yoimiya, finally chose to compromise.
"Sigh, I really envy you guys. I want to play, but I can't..."
Bennett was dejected on the side, watching everyone have so much fun on the roller coaster.
Although it looked a bit scary, he really wanted to experience it.
The saddest thing in this world isn't fainting from fear on a roller coaster, but wanting to experience it and not being able to.
Everyone looked at him with sympathy. This kid was really unlucky.
However, for everyone's safety, it was better to let him bear it alone.
Soon after, Xavier led them to one of the most anticipated attractions.
"Wow, it really is that tall, much bigger than it looked from a distance!"
Amber bounced around, pointing at the Ferris wheel in the distance.
"From such a high place, you can definitely see many nice views. I really like it!" Eula said, placing one hand on her hip.
Compared to thrilling amusement rides like roller coasters, the Ferris wheel was obviously much gentler.
Seeing Bennett's expectant expression, Xavier felt a little reluctant.
If this unlucky guy couldn't play anything, wouldn't coming to the amusement park be in vain?
Xavier could only look at Venti: "Venti, why don't you help him out?"
"I can only say I'll try my best. After all, Bennett's situation is a bit special."
Although Venti agreed, he couldn't completely guarantee that Bennett's unlucky constitution wouldn't act up.
It seemed that in this situation, if something went wrong, they could only throw Bennett out.
As long as he didn't die from the fall, it would be fine; otherwise, everyone would suffer...
One by one, everyone boarded the Ferris wheel. Some were in pairs, and some were in groups of four.
Those who liked a lively atmosphere naturally chose four people, while those who preferred a quieter experience chose two.
Xavier, Furina, Hu Tao, and Klee were in one cabin.
As for why, it was, of course, because Hu Tao was too restless; Xavier had to keep a close eye on her.
"Hmm, although the Ferris wheel isn't as interesting as the roller coaster, it's still quite fun~"
Hu Tao looked out the window through the glass. They had just started ascending, so there wasn't much scenery to see, and the feeling wasn't as pronounced.
"Oh, it would be quite interesting to fly down from the highest point with a wind glider, wouldn't it~"
Klee, not sure where she got the idea, suddenly blurted out this sentence.
This startled Xavier. If she flew down, it would scare everyone else.
"Furina, why are you so distracted?"
Xavier saw Furina sitting there like a good child, her hands neatly placed on her knees. He just felt something wasn't quite right.
"Ah, ah, what did you say? Were you talking to me just now?"
Furina didn't even realize Xavier was talking to her, her expression somewhat distant.
"You haven't recovered yet, have you?"
Xavier's expression was a bit strange. Furina looked like she hadn't yet come down from the thrilling sensation of the roller coaster.
"How could that be? I just walked too much, so I'm a little low on energy."
Even if Furina said that, Xavier certainly wouldn't believe her.
In the cabin right next to Xavier's were Nahida, Kaveh, Cyno, and Alhaitham.
These four were all from Sumeru, so they would surely get along very well.
Theoretically, that was the case.
"Grass God, look quickly, this Ferris wheel is slowly rising!"
"Grass God, look quickly, we can see the roller coaster we just rode!"
"Grass God, look quickly..."
Kaveh was like a little baby, wanting to tell Nahida about everything he saw.
And Nahida was very much like a kind mother, often responding with a smile, providing full emotional support.
Cyno said nothing, sitting on the edge of the cabin, staring out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
As for Alhaitham, for some reason, he always had a book in his hand.
Apparently, Kaveh was talking too much and disturbing Alhaitham.
So he closed his book and said with displeasure, "Isn't a Ferris wheel meant for enjoying the scenery?"
Kaveh, of course, knew this guy was targeting him, so he pointed at him and shouted, "Of course it's for enjoying the scenery! Can't I even express my feelings?!"
"Oh, so you were expressing your feelings. I thought your acrophobia was acting up and you were squawking here."
"You!"
Kaveh gritted his teeth. Why was this guy's way of speaking so annoying?
But then again, this place really did seem quite high.
Wait, why did he feel a little scared...
