They got off the train with otherwise, no problems. For once, Juuto was glad that they finally seemed to be free of that drama of enemies showing up to try to kill Rame. With how often he had been put in danger, it was a welcome change of pace. Even if those responsible were now his friends.

"Well I don't know all about this Robodam stuff, so I guess we'll leave our world resident to handle this." Asaga proclaimed as they got out onto the public roads. The man didn't even bother to plan out what they were going to do, let alone even how to get to their destination.

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Juuto would've preferred to gotten some heads up on that matter before they even got on the train. He wasn't a fan of having to think on his feet, but that seemed to be the matter. "Never mind, good thing I've got GPS." Unfortunately, he didn't know how to get there, since it had been a while since he was in Tokyo. Thankfully, he had something everyone else here didn't have. Modern technology. "Now, just follow me."

Then they went on their way, following the man as a group. Towards the back of this posse they had formed was Rame. She had been keeping her distance from him, and it clearly showed.

"Can't believe he lied to me." She muttered to Mifuru, who had been staying her her side the entire time. "If we ever go back to Enatis, I'm throwing him in our dungeon."

"I'll be sure to warm the lava pits for him." Her retainer responded, fully supporting the idea. "But, perhaps this is the opportunity you've been looking for?"

"Well, it's not like I'm prepared for it." She hastily replied, flustered at the idea of having to put herself out there for him. After all, the demon lord was not known for apologizing for anything or to anyone. Even if she felt she was in the wrong, she'd rather kill the person than admit fault.

Of course, she wasn't going to kill Juuto, but that was a thing in the past.

"Anyway, even if you choose not to worry about it today. I'd still recommend the course of action to try and enjoy the outing."

"Yeah, hopefully they've got some free food there." Without any money, the pair had been absurdly frugal in surviving at home. The pair had been subsisting on bean sprouts and bread crumbs for a while, so Rame's stomach was feeling quite empty nowadays. But the one thing she missed most had to be the hot dogs sold at the store. It felt like torture to not have had one in the past week.

"Wow, this building's got a lot bigger compared to the last time I was here." Juuto commented as they arrived. The park had some new additions added onto it over the past years, one of the more obvious features would be the mech standing in front of the entrance.

"What is that?" Everyone got a bit frightened by seeing what seemed to be a giant monster. Akitomo most of all as he cowardly hid behind Marie in fear.

"Relax, it's not dangerous." Juuto explained to them what it was and why it was here. The popular franchise was known for it's elaborate designs for what were called mechs, which to them made no sense. None of them understood how humans could be capable of building giant men for them to control.

"Wow, you humans can build some powerful stuff." Mifuru commented. If the demon armies had to contend with that, then the war would've been over ages ago.

"Well, we can't, but us humans sure can dream." Juuto wished he could ride in a real life mech. That'd be fun, as long as he wasn't forced to do it to fight off some alien invasion. Though compared to a lot of people he knew, the man had been through enough experience that a life-and-death situation was something he could handle. "Now come on, let's head inside."

The group went up to the entrance and gave their tickets so they could get inside. Once in there, it seemed there was a lot of people who were also enjoying the attractions and rides, along with all the fans of the series gushing about how cool some things were in person. "I'd stay away from the fanboys as a recommendation." He told the group. While he wasn't against people loving stuff like this, he was concerned about everyone getting weirded out by those who were obsessed with Robodam. Something just told him that people from Enatis likely didn't understand how some people come to their hobbies, and didn't feel like explaining it to them either.
