Perhaps, it seems that someone"s gasping sounds overlapped.
I heard waves of sound in my ear.
The surroundings of the multi-purpose hall around the atrium was enveloped in a momentary silence.
“Haaaaa, Jaja, don"t move… I"m begging you, so don"t move…”
I have Jaja on my left hand.
More specifically, I was holding onto Shouhei"s shirt that Jaja was wearing.
“The shirt is too big, so it feels like it"s coming loose… Jaja, it"ll be painful, but please endure it for a little more.”
I"m glad we didn"t change her clothes yet.
I could almost reach the large cloth.
A sharp pain ran through my right hand.
I pulled the banner as I jumped.
Since several parts were fixed so as not to be blown by the wind, it was extended to the limit just now, so I"ll get flicked if I let my guard down.
I was right handed, but I just got hurt yesterday.
I should have used my left hand, but I couldn"t afford to think about something like that.
Something was cool.
Right now, I was grabbing the banner with my right hand, and Jaja"s shirt with my left hand, other than that I was completely in the air.
As the size of the banner was too big, I couldn"t entwine it with my legs. Because of the posture I was in, I couldn"t move skillfully in the first place.
If I move unskillfully, the shirt will slip off and the Jaja will fall.
“Fueh, Fueeeeee”
“Jaja… it"s okay… Papa is holding on!”
The right hand began to scream even more.
Since most of the skin of my palm was peeling off, the flesh inside was exposed, and gauze and bandage were applied on top.
Since the nails of the middle finger and the index finger were also peeling off, I was in agony just by grabbing on.
But, I can"t just drop Jaja from the current height.
“Kazamachi-kun! Preparations are ready, so slowly release your baby!”
I was surprised by the sudden voice.
It is a voice that I have heard somewhere.
I restlessly looked around the surroundings, but it was not within range of my neck movements.
“Lower! It"s okay to lower her!”
It was right underneath.
It was a familiar face.
A large triple braid over the shoulder and thick gla.s.ses.
“We"re saved…! Okay… slowly… lower”
All right. I can trust that person.
Besides, we were currently between the first and second floor.
There was a reasonable height difference to the ceiling on each floor, but if people were waiting for us, we"ll manage somehow.
“Un!”
“One, two…”
“Three!”
Counting it off, I dropped Jaja to Mik.u.ma.
“Fuyaa!”
Jaja made a surprised sound, but Mik.u.ma properly caught her. Behind where Mik.u.mu fell to, there were a lot of mattresses, cushions and colored b.a.l.l.s.
There was also a crowd of humans and beastmen, and Saeki was also there.
They were the two people that were in the same elementary school, and middle school, but didn"t talk to.
I waited for Mik.u.ma to get up.
The people in the surroundings were supporting the colored ball so that it doesn"t get scattered.
Mik.u.ma who sat up smiled at Jaja with a pleasant smile as usual.
“Kazamachi-kun! Hurry!”
“Aah! Please move!”
The people who were waiting moved back a bit.
I slowly let my right hand go.
I fell on top of a mattress.
My feet reverberated a bit, but it wasn"t a big deal.
But it was just too high for a baby.
“What about Jaja? Is she injured?”
“Fueeeee! Aaaaaah!”
When I turned around, Jaja was crying in Mik.u.ma"s arms.
She stretched out her arms desperately and called me, so I almost unconsciously held her up.
“All right, it was scary. Sorry, was it my bad? It doesn"t seem like there"s any injuries. That"s good.”
“I was surprised when I heard someone yell the baby is flying.”
“Yunno ran to the kids section over there and asked me to carry the colored b.a.l.l.s and cushions. She was really fast, I"m surprised.”
“I-Ichikchan, um, I was just moving on the spur of the moment.”
Aah, was this large quant.i.ty of colored b.a.l.l.s and cushions from the kids section?
Saeki from the cat tribe was laughing and her short hair was swaying.
In a corner of the multipurpose hall there was a place for children to play.
There seemed to be a lot of cloth cushions and colored b.a.l.l.s as reserve and soft colored panels were laid out to prevent injuries.
“Sorry for that. Thank you Mik.u.ma, Saeki.”
“I-it wasn"t much! I just asked the people around me! It was great we made it in time!”
“Kazamachi, you really cause a disturbance everywhere you go.”
Mik.u.ma was shaking her hands and her head with a red face and Saeki was happily laughing.
With that momentum, won"t your gla.s.ses fly off?
I waited a while for Jaja to stop crying, I also lowered my head to the surrounding people.
Taking a closer look, even uniformed employees were here.
“That girl was crying for help in a loud voice, I was surprised! She"s around the same as my daughter, I can"t believe she was flying.”
“It was good that she was saved! This is no good! A lot of unexpected things happen to children at this age! It"s no good if you don"t properly watch them!
“It really was a good thing! Ah, this mattress is a display product, so don"t worry about it.”
It seems that everyone in the kids court was with children and they were all concerned about being kind.
When I thank you briefly, I collected color b.a.l.l.s and cushions.
The people I"ve been meeting recently are all so kind.
I"ll cry…
“Jaja! Kunpei-san!”
“Nii-chan!”
When apologizing to the security guard who brought the mattress a little late, Aoi and Shouhei"s voice came from above the handrail on the second floor.
“Are you okay? Was Jaja hurt !? “
“Oh, I"m fine!”
“I"m coming down, so please wait!”
I got a worried face from the railing and immediately retracted.
“And so, Kazamachi-kun. That kid, is it a relative"s child?”
Saeki gently poked Jaja"s cheeks who was still a bit unsettled.
“How cute. It really was a relief.”
Mik.u.ma also caressed Jaja"s head.
“Ahー”
Jaja who was leaning against me raised her face and stared at my face.
“Nyhe”
At last I was relieved Jaja laughed with a soft face with tears floating.
A lot of smartphones were pointed at us from upstairs.
