Ninety-sixty-nine, Alice, that's all art, you know
Although Alice is homely, she is a bit similar to Eve. Both of them are the kind of personalities who prefer to be alone, but occasionally like to join in crowded places. When she was in Gensokyo, Alice often went to various human festivals and festivals, and even had the experience of performing puppet shows at human temple fairs.
In modern society, Alice has never seen before, or even heard of, or imagined all kinds of excitement, and after she came out of the enchantment and moved into McDowell's house, she naturally experienced a lot with this family.
Although Alice only occasionally got the idea of going outside, there were many, many new and interesting things in the world that she had not yet seen. But things like playgrounds that are found on the school island, Alice have certainly been there with the girls of the McDowell family for a long time.
"It's a small playground in the middle of nowhere. ”
"Not the same as the one I've been to?"
Alice has been to the only large playground in the central area of School Island.。
Because there is only that one, it is not the biggest, the most advanced, the most exciting, or anything like that. But the playground in the central area is indeed quite large, and in terms of the area and the number of various rides in it, it feels like it is richer than most other playgrounds that Levi has ever visited.
After all, the population composition of the school island is quite special. Even the population of the Central District alone is certainly not comparable to that of a normal large city in a normal country. But the island's just 'playground-age population' is no less than that of the populous modern metropolises – which is why Lévi has heard that the Central District has built such a large playground. However, he felt that this reason only sounded reasonable at first glance, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem so reliable.
Although it is true that the main population of the school island is a very fun-loving young man.。 But because they are all young people and students, although there must be a lot of people who go to play on weekends, but when you need to go to school in the middle of the week, isn't that the playground equivalent to a state where there is no business at all, and you can almost close for a break?
In fact, the last time Levi took his family to the playground, that is, the time Alice went with him, was on a Wednesday afternoon.
That day, Levi only had classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, he found an excuse to skip the extracurricular activities of the SOS group, so he took his family to the playground to go on a 'staggered outing'.
On that day, McDowell's family really experienced what it means to be chartered at the playground. Except for the occasional adult, almost the entire playground seems to be open for them. Whether it's an exciting roller coaster or a large Ferris wheel with a beautiful view, you don't have to wait in line at all, and you can get on the bus when you arrive. If you want to repeat the ride, you don't have to get off the top, just stay and wait for the next trip to start.
All kinds of commercial facilities on Gakuen Island will face such business problems. Although there are a lot of people on weekends, the rest of the time is almost completely empty. Due to the large number of minors on the island, the level of security that needs to be guaranteed is extremely high. It is also impossible for Gakuen Island to vigorously develop tourism like those world-famous tourist cities, and attract tourists from all over the world without any scruples.
In fact, in a special area like School Island, as long as the visa is open and flights are increased, there is no need to do more publicity in the media, and tourists from all over the world will also flock to make those businesses on the island make a lot of money.
However, it would be a self-deception to say that the island would not affect the study and life of the students on the island.
If even the most basic student life cannot be guaranteed, how many parents will be willing to send their children to study alone in this foreign country?
Even though Levi is now curious about why so many parents are willing to send their children to School Island alone. But if the island really becomes that overcrowded and full of tourists, I'm afraid that even those parents who Lévy already thinks they are abnormal enough, will not be abnormal to that extent?
"It's the same playground, but the place will be smaller, and there will be fewer and smaller facilities to play in. The Ferris wheel is not that big, the roller coaster is not so exciting, and it is estimated that there may not be the kind of haunted house with two or three floors. And maybe the facilities inside will be older. ”
Before heading out, Levi had read the details of the places he was scheduled to go to today. The playground they were going to next was a smaller, older playground in the suburbs of London.
Maybe that playground once had a glorious history. But now it's just a place for the local community to relax and entertain. Relying on the annual passes that the surrounding residents habitually buy enough to buy are enough to maintain the operation, it is impossible to attract a few foreign tourists.
In fact, according to Levy's common sense understanding, he thinks that the playgrounds on School Island, especially the playgrounds in the central area, should also be like that. After all, Chuo is one of the most 'ordinary' areas on Gakuen Island. It's not as black technology as the school city.,It's not as unscientific as Mafanliang School Park.。 If Levi had to find a reason why the Central District could build and maintain such a super-large-scale luxury playground, the only relatively reasonable reason he could think of might be that it was actually the product of a super-rich second-generation family in the White Emperor Academy who doted on their children?
If you want to say that there is a rare and unusual place in the Central District, it is the White Emperor Academy, which gathers a large number of super aristocratic schools of the world's top rich second generations and official second generations. Some of the children who studied there were families whose wealth was simply not at all what mortals could imagine and understand. If anyone says that the playground in the Central District was proposed by his parents to fulfill his 10th birthday wishes. Levi would only open his mouth wide and sigh for a moment, and then accepted this unrealistic fact with peace of mind.
Maybe the reality is just that unrealistic.
Di – Di ——!
The phone-like detector in Levy's hand rang suddenly. He immediately looked at the detector's screen, and the hint on it perked up.
"Found something?"
Alice also heard the detector's beep, but she scanned around the room and found nothing special.
It is different from the previous rooms where various antique crafts and utensils are displayed. The walls around this exhibition hall are sparsely hung with several large and small paintings. The content of these paintings is mainly based on characters, and some of them are still undressed characters, which makes Alice, a girl who has been conservatively estimated to have been at home for more than 200 years, a little embarrassed to see it.
