Chapter 119 After Work Comes Enjoyment
After finishing our lunch, Olivia and I explored the west side of the academy. We only stayed on the north side since it was near our house.
"Charlie! There is an aquarium!" She shouted and pointed in the direction of the aquarium.
"Do you want to check it out?" I haven't been to an aquarium in this world. I wonder if there were dangerous sea monsters inside of it.
Confirming that we could go, Olivia grabbed my arms, and the both of us went ahead to the aquarium.
The building of this aquarium was massive. It was the largest building in this district. I wouldn't be surprised if the aquarium were this area's main attraction.
Upon arriving at the aquarium, a female worker was working at the booth. "Do both of you have a promotional pass to enter?"
"No. Does the promotional pass do something?" Were they doing an advertisement for this place?
"A promotional pass would let you enter with four people at one price." That was a pretty good deal.
"Without it, you could buy two passes for one giant silver coin." It wasn't anything too expensive, paying for it we went into the aquarium.
Man, sometimes I can't understand this world. Technology is sometimes superior to my old world. But the culture in this world was so much worse.
Entering, there was a glass panel everywhere in the aquarium. "Charlie, look!" Olivia was looking up to see a whale. Was it a baby whale? It was about 30 meters long.
This place was pretty unreal. I wondered how strong the glass panels were in this place. Besides that, how long did it take to make them considering it was everywhere?
Olivia and I were both like a child looking around everywhere, curious about what we would find.
It was peaceful looking at the sea creatures doing their things. At times like these, I wish I could dress as a boy and act how I want.
"Olivia, there's a shark." A shark had appeared, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Wohh!" It was a sight to behold, looking at an apex species. I couldn't tell how strong it was, but it could demolish me if it tried.
The shark was entirely black and looked like a creature from a movie. Its eyes were red, and its teeth were razor sharp. If a creature like that somehow broke the glass panels, I wouldn't know what to do.
"Don't you think creatures like that are scary?" With my current strength, I would be scared shitless fighting this shark in the water.
"Yes, but we should be safe here." I didn't know how Olivia could be sure that we were safe.
"How are you so sure?" Wanting to know her thoughts on it, I asked.
"I believe it would." I patted Olivia on the head. Her innocence was sometimes too much. Sometimes when she was in this state, I wished I could gobble her up.
She was confused about why I would pat her on the head but wouldn't question it. Olivia was too good for this world.
The further we went into the aquarium, the more fishes we found. Schools of fish would appear. It would be nice if a hungry predator didn't chase them.
"Are the sea creatures even allowed to eat weaker monsters in the aquarium?" It was pretty graphical for an entertainment resort that included children.
"Olivia, it's not like the workers here could stop them unless they put a separate tank for every creature."
With our idle talk, we dove deeper into the aquarium. More creatures were appearing, and some plants you would never usually see would be underwater.
"Charlie, what is that?" Olivia pointed at the eight-legged creature.
"It's an octopus."
"The legs of it look pretty creepy." Olivia was disgusted by the way it moved. Maybe I shouldn't tell her that I ate those things when she was bedridden.
It wasn't long before we finished the small tour of aquatic animals. On the other side of the building, there were more things we could explore.
There were stores where merchandise could be bought from only in places like these. And there were even events that the workers here do with aquatic animals.
Suddenly, Olivia, holding my hand, dragged me around a dolphin parlor. Many family and friends were sitting by watching the display of the dolphins playing around with the spectator.
"Olivia, don't get close to the dolphins." I had heard the news about them. They may look cute, but under that cuteness is something dark.
"Why? Look how cute they're." It would be best if you didn't judge them by their looks.
"They're also pretty cruel creatures."
"Cruel? In what way?" Olivia wondered how they could be cruel.
"They like to kill things just for the fun of it." I also heard they do sexual assaults, but I wasn't going to say that to Olivia.
"Not only that, they could easily spread diseases." I don't know if we could get diseases with our bodies, but I would instead not test them out.
"Mom! Is what that pretty lady saying true?" A child close to us had overheard our conversation.
The mother glared at me and wasn't sure what to say to the child. "Of course not, sweety, but you shouldn't get close to them." ... I ignored them and looked at Olivia.
Olivia was mind blogged by what I said. All her excitement of seeing the dolphins had died down from my words.
"There are other things that we could do. There are souvenirs of the animals that we saw." I bet she would like some cute dolls.
Walking to the souvenir store, there was a seafood restaurant right next to it. So they kept some animals here to eat them later.
After our shopping trip to the souvenir store, we left the aquarium. We both had time to do more, but we had already spent the day doing work.
"Olivia, let's head home." I was pretty pooped out from taking orders from every customer. Olivia was even more so from using her mana.
"Hmm!" She nodded and stretched her arms up in the air.
"Charlie... Let's do it." Olivia whispered into my ears. It was pretty bold of her to do it here.
Looking at her, she is looking at me, hopefully. I sighed but agreed in the end. With our plans made, both of us went home.
