===Aoe’s Continued Sight Mode: In DT’s Amusement Park===

'''<Aoe’s Over Reload>

Aoe remained in Sight Mode as he entered the Top Page.

The garden was directly in front of him when he entered the amusement park. Surrounding that was a plaza, itself surrounded by an arcade.

Yuo floated behind him thanks to her coordinate settings and she had opened two windows. One displayed the feedback data and the other the settings for their combined Load Emblems.

She typed at her keyboards for both windows and then opened a further window.

<nowiki><I</nowiki> have made it so we will remain in Sight Mode until this battle is over!>

Aoe nodded. That normally wasn’t done because it gobbled up energy, but they were being boosted by everyone right now.

He appreciated that as he poured strength into his legs.

He ran.

It only took a moment to get used to running in midair. It felt a lot like repeatedly sliding forward.

“I feel like a GASAS attacker.”

<This should keep us safe even if there are booby traps.>

He reached a top speed of approximately 140mph. After taking one step, he would leap 15 yards before the next step.

To change direction, he made skip turns with his feet or used the wind pressure to slide around corners.

To attack, he swung his arms at high enough speed to launch shockwaves.

<nowiki><I</nowiki> am guiding the shockwaves in a single direction. A stronger punch will send a really big one out ahead of you.>

“That’s ridiculous! I’d prefer a map, Yuo! Give me the most direct route to Babel!”

Monkey raised his front paw while clinging to Aoe’s right shoulder and a window opened to the right of Aoe’s face.

It displayed a general map with handwritten text.

From bottom to top, the plaza, the white castle, the artificial lake, and the swimming area were labeled.

“A duel on Ganryu Island. So Round 3 will be fought on Babel’s beach!”

He saw the large fountain in the center of the plaza past the entranceway.

It was lit up by the scarlet outdoor lights and a semicircle of souvenir shops were set up around it, creating a sort of wall.

He saw movement in the buildings and their shadows.

Arrows of transparent red light appeared in his vision. They pointed inside and on top of the stores and behind the fountain.

Those were the enemies.

'''<Aoe’s Over Zoom>

As soon as he saw them, countless winds blew his way.

The earth-rattling winds were in fact bullets.

<nowiki><I</nowiki> will highlight them with a color!>

“No need! They aren’t even worth dodging!”

He leaped.

His x7 boosted jump caused his footsteps to vanish and an empty wind to surround him.

He instantly reached an altitude of 10 yards.

He cleared the fountain below, along with the shop clerk NPC Bodies aiming guns his way.

A few of them followed him with their eyes, but none managed to follow him with their guns.

The stream of automatic gunfire pursued the path of his jump like a swinging whip.

It was all too slow.

He descended again, set to land between two shops. In other words, on the main street. He prepared to land while looking out head.

The view past the shops was blurry. That was the border between Pages.

'''<Aoe’s Over Zoom: Full Sight Open>

He could see the white castle. The tall, white structure looked straight out of a picture book.

There was a single arch-shaped hole at the bottom of the castle. There was light visible through the hole.

He smiled bitterly at how the building might as well have been telling him to pass through it. And he landed. He bent his legs to absorb the impact.

He adjusted his balance when inertia tried to topple him forward. After leaning nearly 30 degrees forward, he straightened his legs and continued forward.

His next leap took him across the Page border.
