----------------------------------------------------------
Renz and Erina's relationship had matured over many years; their connection was advanced, built on accumulated feelings over time, making it hard to conceal.
They exhibited almost none of the typical issues found in young couples.
This gave them a natural advantage in a dating show, unless the production team had a script specifically designed for other guests to win, in which case there was nothing they could do.
The haunted house segment was safely navigated. Next, they would visit other attractions, leading up to another major highlight: the Ferris wheel of truth.
The two guests were to have a full round of truth-telling
dialogue on the Ferris wheel, constantly asking and answering questions until the ride ended.
During the question-and-answer session, they were allowed to think.
The segment Erina wanted to play most was this one. It's important to note that a dedicated cameraman would accompany them on the Ferris wheel, as this was also part of the game rules.
The production team would certainly record the content for the audience.
Ordinary couples would be quite shy.
Renz and Erina were unfazed; they didn't understand what shyness was at all, and their thought processes were different from ordinary people.
Both of them were thinking about how to make the other feel utterly embarrassed on the Ferris wheel, stammering and admitting their feelings, essentially forcing a public declaration of love.
Erina couldn't be more excited.
Especially since the production team would be recording it, she was even more eager. She wished it would be recorded to be made into a compilation of Renz's embarrassing moments.
Both of them looked calm before getting on the Ferris wheel, but in reality, countless topics to tease each other were already brewing in their minds.
It was just a matter of who could seize the initiative.
Yu Nagasawa, as usual, explained the rules before everyone boarded the Ferris wheel. This wasn't for the participating guests, who already knew the rules of the game.
This explanation was for the audience.
As all the guests boarded the Ferris wheel of truth,
They quietly waited for the machinery to start.
The cameraman inside the Ferris wheel car carefully held his camera, silently beginning to film Erina and Renz's faces.
Due to the limited space,
One cameraman was enough. Bringing more production staff wouldn't fit. Fortunately, there were no issues, as narration could be added in post-production.
His task was to clearly capture the visuals and their dialogue.
There was no need for the cameraman to signal the start of the game.
Because the guests on the Ferris wheel could begin the game of the Ferris Wheel of Truth as soon as the machinery started.
As they slowly ascended,
Erina's first question shot out: "Renz-kun, when did you fall in love with me?"
"The first time we met, when you prepared dinner for me," Renz answered instantly. "To add, Erina's appearance perfectly matched the image of my ideal wife, so it was truly love at first sight."
Ptooey!
You devil!
Erina had always thought Renz's claim of love at first sight was a lie, because their very first interaction in the future was quite unpleasant; they didn't give each other a good look.
She hadn't expected Renz to be plotting against her even back then.
But Erina didn't think this behavior was bad. After all, Renz's love at first sight was genuine, and there was no evidence of him falling for anyone else throughout the process.
He was devoted solely to her.
So, Erina could openly acknowledge this "love at first sight."
"My question is, when did Erina develop feelings for me?"
Renz also asked a crucial question. Erina wanted to know Renz's honest feelings, and Renz wanted to know Erina's.
"The first time I taught you how to cook, you learned very earnestly, and your attitude was good. Just that alone, I didn't dislike it. After all, before that, we had many unpleasant exchanges, and you always brushed them off with a smile," Erina answered just as seriously.
"Your standards are really low then, if not disliking me means developing feelings," Renz complained from the side.
"Hey, don't interrupt! I'm not finished!" Erina pouted.
"Later on, I guess it was when I was 'sick,' and you took care of me very diligently."
"So, please take care of me like that in the future too, Renz.
"Arigato!"
Renz understood the hidden meaning behind Erina's "sickness." That "sickness" referred to when Erina was giving birth to Mirai, and Renz stayed with her throughout, assisting during labor and afterward.
Erina's strong defense line was indeed difficult to breach. Only after that time did Erina slowly let go of her prejudices and gradually accept everything about Renz.
And Renz indeed did not betray Erina's trust.
"Now, I'm going to put you on the spot," Erina cleared her throat and said. "Please tell me a love confession. The requirement is to express the most profound sentiment
with the simplest words, and 'I love you' is forbidden."
"Tomorrow, I will love you more than today." Renz said this almost without hesitation.The cameraman next to them was stunned, frozen in place.
My goodness, this is already a lethal dose, do you two know that?
It started off well, with some regular questions, but those were relatively normal relationship questions. How did it turn into a public display of affection later?
Are you two just openly slaughtering single people here?
Wait a minute.
Why am I the only one on this Ferris wheel?
No way?!
Did I fall for some prank variety show's trick?
What does it mean to leave me here to suffer alone?!!!
"It's my turn now, please tell me 'I love you' in your most heartfelt tone," Renz demonstrated what it means to be "shameless and invincible."
This directly hit Erina's weak spot.
Erina's personality leaned towards being a tsundere, the stubborn type who responds to gentleness but not toughness. And faced with such embarrassing questions, a tsundere is very difficult to deal with.
"Are you trying to kill me?!" Erina immediately flared up when she heard Renz's request.
This was a stab.
One was more ruthless than the other. Erina asked a question that was hard to answer without discomfort.
Who would have thought Renz would counter so quickly, also posing a top-tier dilemma that left her in a tough spot?
"So Erina doesn't love me anymore, so all those 'I love
yous' were fake, I'm so hurt," Renz sighed with a "heartbroken" tone.
"You're disgusting!" Erina was thrown off by Renz's comment. She truly wasn't not in love with Renz, it was just that Renz's prerequisite was too much.
Saying "I love you" wasn't hard.
But how to say "I love you" in the most heartfelt tone?
That was too difficult, okay?
"If you don't want to answer, fine, I'll change the
question," Renz took a deep breath, thinking he was pushing Erina too hard, and prepared to set the question aside.
"I love you," Erina said.
Just as Renz was about to change the question, Erina said it with a very serious facial expression.
For a tsundere to say such words on camera, just being able to say them was an act of great courage. No matter how, no matter the tone, it didn't matter.
Daring to say it was already enough.
"I love you, I love you, I love you," Erina repeated several times. "I don't know what 'most heartfelt tone' means, so I'll just say it this many times. The sincerity should be enough."
"Are you satisfied?" Erina asked in a "savage" tone.
"Satisfied, very satisfied," Renz nodded and said. Any less satisfied, and Erina would have gotten truly angry.
Just as Erina was about to pose the next question, the Ferris wheel suddenly stopped and slowly descended.
"It's over already? I haven't finished asking my questions!
This is too much!" Erina coincidentally had a new question to ask, but who knew that before she could ask it, the Ferris wheel of truth segment had ended?
The cameraman inside the Ferris wheel car, like someone fleeing a thousand miles of disaster, fled the scene at top
speed.
Was this a place a normal person could stay?
Just breathing the air was choking, okay!
What kind of damned job is this?!
Are they bullying single people?!
He couldn't even avoid that mouthful of sweetness by staying there. He was just watching a show and got force-fed sweetness. It was ridiculous for the production team to send the cameraman up there.
Their sadistic humor was too intense.
The concentration was suffocating.
The cameramen from the other three groups were quite normal when they got off, moving slowly, some even walking out slower than the guests. Only the cameraman from Renz's group walked faster than the guests.
As if there was some monstrous beast inside that door.
He didn't want to stay in there for a moment longer.
Renz's cameraman was also puzzled. How were the other cameramen so calm? Thinking about it, he wondered if he had overreacted.
Well, they'd see later.
He'd send the content to post-production for them to review.
They'd still need to add subtitles and possibly do some post-rendering of the fonts.
Every variety show uses various fonts to express the
guests' emotions.
And Erina, getting off the Ferris wheel, was furious. She had one question she hadn't asked, and the game was
already over.
If she had asked questions faster, she could have asked Renz one more question.
Most importantly, that extra question she asked could have been recorded for the show, but asking it now meant it couldn't be recorded, which was a real shame.
However,
It wasn't too late to ask now.
"Renz, I'll ask you one last question."
"Hmm? Didn't the game end?"
"But I still want to ask."
"Alright, go ahead."
"If, and I mean if, we could go back to the past."
"What would you say to your past self? And what would you absolutely make sure to do?"
"Aren't those two questions? Asking two questions at
once is cheating, you know."
"But these two questions are related!"
"Then let me think."
"As for the answer... once I've thought about it, I'll tell you."
