It was fine when Alhaitham didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, Kaveh felt something was off.
As the Ferris wheel gradually ascended, moving farther and farther from the ground, Kaveh swallowed hard.
Watching everything below shrink, his legs actually began to tremble.
"What's wrong, Kaveh? Did you see something interesting?"
Nahida, seeing that the chatterbox was silent, asked with concern.
"Uh, no, Grass God, I'm just a bit tired from talking..."
Kaveh dared not look out the window again, shrinking into himself and remaining silent, as if he were truly a well-behaved child.
Not long after, sweat even appeared on his forehead.
Even without looking out the window, he could imagine how high they were now.
"It seems I was right. You really do have acrophobia."
Alhaitham's expression didn't change much when he said this, but one could always sense a hint of mockery in his tone.
"You scoundrel! You get carsick, what right do you have to talk about me!"
"Heh heh..."
Alhaitham merely let out a light chuckle. How could he possibly argue with Kaveh about such a thing?
As a smart person, the best way to handle topics that are unfavorable to him is not to argue.
One of them has acrophobia, and the other gets carsick; they truly are a pair.
"Such a scene truly inspires poetry."
In the car behind, Kazuha couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hey, Kazuha, please don't be like Hu Tao and start spouting doggerel; it really gives me goosebumps!"
Yoimiya said, clutching her shoulders, shivering at the thought of the poems Hu Tao had composed.
If those could be considered poems, then she could be a poet too, right?
"I once had the honor of exchanging blows with Master Hu. Her poetry, well..."
When it came to the crucial part, Kazuha remained silent, giving Hu Tao some face.
"So that lively Damselette named Hu Tao can write poetry? That's quite unexpected," Kokomi said, somewhat surprised.
Ayaka slowly said, "It seems Kokomi, you still don't understand Hu Tao enough. Her poetry has a very personal style; I just don't know if you'll like it."
Ayaka's words were sufficiently subtle, but Kokomi could still tell that everyone seemed to have the same unspoken understanding about Hu Tao's poetry.
If one had to use a single word to describe it, it would be 'indescribable'.
Initially, everyone was happily enjoying the scenery outside, but then it abruptly stopped when they reached the highest point.
And at that moment, in the car at the very top, Bennett scratched his head.
"Oh no, my bad luck seems to have caused trouble for everyone again..."
Although he didn't know what exactly was happening, Bennett felt it was mostly because of him.
Venti sighed helplessly.
Although he promised Xavier to try to avoid accidents, it seemed his guarantee was useless now.
"I knew I shouldn't have brought him on the ride, and to be in the same car as him, it's truly the sorrow of This Daddy!"
Fischl really wanted to throw Bennett out. Nothing good ever happened when she was with him.
"Bennett certainly doesn't want this either. I think it will recover in a while."
The gentle and lovely Noelle spoke up for Bennett.
"Although he's very unlucky, at least no accidents have occurred so far, which is already quite good."
Diona crossed her arms over her chest and didn't blame Bennett either.
"Thank you all so much, I'm truly touched!"
Bennett was incredibly moved, never expecting so many people to tolerate his unlucky constitution.
Before he could finish being touched, the Ferris wheel suddenly went "click" and started moving again.
It was very slow, and after moving once, it immediately stopped again, which was very frightening.
"Oh no, I watched a movie called 'Final Destination,' and someone in it rode a Ferris wheel at an amusement park and then fell to their death!"
Furina suddenly shouted, remembering a movie she had seen.
"Stop being so jumpy. Even if something happens, there won't be any danger."
Xavier rolled his eyes. With him and other gods here, how could there be a big problem?
Of course, if the amusement park facilities broke down, that couldn't be blamed on him...
"Why did it stop again? Could it be that unlucky fellow's influence?" Ei frowned, guessing that was likely the case.
"Oh my, I didn't expect this little fellow to be so interesting. If such a constitution could be used well, it might have unexpected effects."
Yae Miko's thought process was indeed a bit different from others. While others avoided him, she was thinking about how to better utilize his constitutional characteristics.
"No, it won't, nothing will happen. Although this guy is unlucky, he wouldn't drag all of us down, right...?"
On the other side, Itto was trembling all over.
He was comforting himself verbally, but inside, he was terrified.
"Don't be afraid. Even if something happens, there won't be any life-threatening danger. This is my conclusion, big sister's."
Lisa, sitting opposite him, offered reassurance, but the more Lisa said this, the more frightened Itto became.
"So, this guy really will drag down many, many people, and this kind of thing has happened more than once, right!"
Lisa nodded and said, "People who have joined his adventure team either get diarrhea, get injured, or encounter mudslides."
"Huh? So it really wasn't an exaggeration. No, This Daddy, will just jump down!"
Itto even had the thought of jumping down. Such a terrifying jinx would eventually drag him down too.
Well, even though Itto wasn't a lucky person to begin with.
Amber, on the other side, was thinking that if there really was a problem, she would just break the glass and fly down with her wind glider.
After all, using a wind glider was her best skill, and there would be no problem even if she took Eula down with her!
Just as everyone was thinking about how to solve the problem, they suddenly heard a scream.
"He's... he's flying!"
Bennett shouted loudly, somehow finding himself outside the Ferris wheel.
"Holy cow, there's a human flyer!"
Someone from below shouted, and the tourists all looked up, discovering Bennett in the air.
Even more miraculously, Bennett slowly descended and finally landed steadily, like a magic show.
And with Bennett's landing, the Ferris wheel finally started operating again.
And it was perfectly normal, as if nothing had been wrong at all.
At this moment, the staff member in charge of the Ferris wheel was already sweating profusely. The moment it stopped operating, he began checking it.
But after checking for a long time, he found everything to be normal.
Then he looked up and saw a person fall from the Ferris wheel, which directly scared him unconscious!
His job was gone!
