"Mu..."

Seeing me roll the baby capybara, Lucia seemed to feel competitive and thoroughly petted and rolled the nearest capybara. Apparently when capybaras feel good they roll over.

I petted and rolled other capybaras as well. Lucia kept petting too.

We petted until every single capybara had been rolled over. However, the first one got back up and rubbed its forehead against my leg. It seemed to be asking for more petting. Alright. I’ll pet them all over!

And so we endlessly petted the capybaras. Drawing on the experience of thoroughly petting the kemolori in the other world, we made them feel as good as possible.

A person who seemed to be a zookeeper came over and taught us, "If you pet the places the capybaras can’t reach themselves, they really enjoy it." I see, that makes sense!

Let’s thoroughly pet their butts!

They seem able to scratch their heads with their hind legs like dogs, but they can’t reach their butts.

After that we thoroughly petted and thoroughly rolled the capybaras.

Because my hands are bigger, I was better at rolling them, so Lucia got jealous.

"Onii-chan’s hand movements are erotic, so the capybaras are happy."

"That’s not true. There are males here too."

"A technique that even makes males happy..."

In the blink of an eye two hours passed.

Since it was lunchtime we went to the cafeteria inside the park.

"Now then... Udon, ramen, french fries..."

There was the usual lineup of standard menu items you’d find at a zoo or supermarket food court.

Karaage rice bowl... Even though this is a zoo, that’s a pretty aggressive menu item, is that okay?

Eating fried chicken at a zoo that also exhibits birds feels a bit awkward.

If I want something that doesn’t use animals much... udon, maybe?

I ordered kitsune udon and french fries.

"Lucia. Feed me this with an ’aan’."

"Yes. Onii-chan, aan."

"Aan!"

Paku.

Alright. Perfect. From an outsider’s perspective it only looks like Lucia is eating while also feeding me. No one will think that only I am eating lunch while Lucia is just sitting there without eating anything. Plus it boosts the date atmosphere, so it’s two birds with one stone.

"Alright. In the afternoon let’s look at the other animals and feed them!"

"Yeah!"

After finishing lunch we walked around looking at the other animals and thoroughly enjoyed them, then returned to the capybara area again.

There were hippos, monkeys, birds with flashy plumage, and all sorts of animals, but as expected the ones Lucia was most drawn to were the capybaras. Second place was the mara. It’s a strange, charming creature that lives in South America and looks like a big squirrel or a small deer.

She also seemed to like the Galápagos tortoises and the Malayan tapirs, so she appears to prefer animals that move slowly and are soothing to watch.

"Huh. The capybaras are gone."

They had been around the snack stand in the morning...

"Over there!"

They seemed to have moved to a pond a short distance away. Whether they were drinking water or something, all of them had their heads lowered facing the pond.

Then—

Bochan.

"Ah! It fell into the pond!"

Lucia started to run, so I hurriedly grabbed her.

"Wait!"

It was true that a capybara seemed to have fallen into the pond, but a human jumping into the pond would definitely be bad.

"Let’s call a zookeeper... Huh?"

Suwee.

The capybara swam gracefully through the water. It was faster than walking speed.

Bochan, bochan, bochan.

Following the first one, the other capybaras one after another fell into—no, jumped into—the pond and started swimming.

"Capybaras can swim..."

"It’s true. Amazing!"

Lucia started running again.

Earlier she was trying to save them, and this time she was trying to swim with them.

"I told you no. Humans aren’t allowed in the capybara pond."

"Why?"

"Why... well..."

Why, indeed.

At Capybara Land interaction is free.

The information board only says to pet the capybaras gently so you don’t startle them.

Nowhere does it say swimming is prohibited.

But still, common sense says you shouldn’t go into the pond, right?

"This is the capybaras’ pond, so if a human starts swimming, even the capybaras would be surprised."

"If I transform into a capybara, can I go in?"

"Eh?"

What about that?

There’s probably no problem at all if a goddess from another world transforms into a capybara and swims with them, right?

Ah, no, but...

"Lucia. Sorry. We paid at the entrance, right? You entered with a junior/senior high school ticket. You didn’t pay the capybara fee. You haven’t paid the money needed to swim in the pond."

"Should I put out more gold?"

"That’s right. You left a gold ore earlier...!"

When I checked the trading price of gold on my phone, it was about 8,000 yen per gram. Since it’s unrefined ore it would be a bit cheaper, but that earlier one looked like it weighed at least 5 kilograms, so it might be over 10 million yen.

I heard renting Tokyo Dome for a day is around 20 million yen, so could Capybara Land also be rented if we stack one more gold nugget the same as before?

...No, that won’t work.

"If Lucia turns into a capybara, the surrounding visitors will touch you and see you naked. I don’t want that. The only one allowed to see Lucia naked is me."

"Masaru... Understood."

"Since we can’t swim, let’s enjoy feeding them! Over there in the shade of the trees there are capybaras resting without swimming!"

"...Yeah!"

The bamboo leaves at the snack corner had been restocked.

Probably the zookeepers restock them at just the right timing according to how hungry the capybaras are so they don’t overeat.

I put in another 1,000 yen and bought ten bamboo leaves. Then we played with the capybaras until the sun set.

Lucia whined that she didn’t want to leave, but it was time for the capybaras to go home first. The capybaras return to their enclosure and eat dinner in a warm place with heating.

"Even the capybaras want to spend quiet time alone with their family, right?"

"Understood..."

Finally we went to the souvenir corner of the shop.

In a space about the size of a convenience store, various animal goods were lined up.

Lucia, who has no interest in food, would she like the animal goods...?

...!

Yes.

Lucia’s eyes were sparkling.

She seems to be enjoying it.

"Waa! I want this!"

Lucia seemed to like the capybara plushies.

"You can buy them, but can you take those back (to the other world)?"

"...I’ll go talk with the related gods for a bit."

"Ah. Wait. Don’t suddenly disappear."

We were in a position where no one could see us because of the product shelves, but if there were security cameras it would be a problem. However, it seemed there was no need to worry.

"The talk is over."

Whether the gods’ conversation finished in an instant, or the flow of time was different, or time had stopped—somehow it finished in a period I couldn’t perceive.

"They said the eye parts can’t be made with the technology over there, so no..."

"Ah— the eyes, huh. Everything else is just cloth and fur, but the eyes look like plastic or glass... What if you take everything except the eyes and set black stones over there?"

"That’s it! ...They said it’s okay!"

"Then shall we buy them? Huh? Two?"

"Yeah. This kid would get lonely if it’s alone."

"You’re right. Understood."

I liked a T-shirt with a huge capybara illustration printed on it, but it didn’t look like I could take it to the other world, so I gave up on it.

We returned home in a satisfied mood after thoroughly enjoying the zoo. With Lucia’s teleportation we could return in an instant, but because I wanted to savor the afterglow of the zoo, we took the train. To avoid bothering the people around us we talked about our zoo memories through brain conversation.

It was the best zoo date.
