“What is this …”
I barged into an unbelievable scene returning to the house after the officers had been sent off.
“Ah! Kunpei-kun! What shall we do?”
Within the wooden enclosure, the twin"s playground, Yuri-san was panicking while holding Nana.
“Ah! Kya! Kya!”
Jaja was sitting on the sofa in the enclosure and laughed loudly.
“How did this happen?”
“I-I don"t know. I was playing with Jaja and tickling her, and then suddenly…”
“Dah”
Nana, who was being held by Yuri-san, reached out to take her favorite stuffed cat toy.
The stuffed animal was right next to Nana"s face, and with a little more effort, she should be able to get it.
After all, it was floating.
“Why is it floating?”
I looked over the dining room.
From tissue boxes to baby bottles, to various toys were lightly floating and dancing in midair.
If I looked down, the TV remote control was drifting as if hovering over the ground.
When I looked up, Jaja"s baby towels were stuck to the ceiling.
A small trumpet toy was lightly b.u.mping into the fluorescent lamp cover repeatedly, making a rhythmic sound.
A series of animal instruments that father bought on the internet without Shouhei knowing was flying around the dining area happily.
“Ehh…?”
Watching this unrealistic scene, I unintentionally let out a sound.
The dining area, a place to relax in our house, was somehow wrapped in a rather fancy atmosphere.
“What happened?”
I reached out my right hand and grabbed the monkey maracas.
“… Eh?”
It"s light.
The back half of the maracas, which resemble little monkeys, were made of translucent plastic, filled with countless small beads inside.
It"s one of the toys that my father and I often picked up because Jaja gets delighted when she hears the shaking sound.
So I remember the weight well, but the monkey in my hand was exceptionally light now. Or rather, it doesn"t even feel like I"m holding it.
“This too?”
When I let go, the monkey maracas started floating again and slowly drifted away.
I grabbed a tambourine with a big tiger face drawn on it with the same hand.
This also felt weightless.
“Ah, plate!”
I suddenly realized and turned my face to the kitchen.
I thought that if the dishes and gla.s.ses in the cupboard were floating, they could hit each other and break.
The tableware in the cupboard and dish drying rack was still there.
“… Are there stuff that flies and does not fly?”
The baby bottle warmer came into my view.
There was only one baby bottle left in the warmer.
It was Nana"s baby bottle with a cat"s face printed on it.
Strange.
After the baby bottles were sterilized, it should have been put away with Jaja"s baby bottle.
Only Jaja"s baby bottle with the dog face drawn on it was repeatedly hitting the ceiling.
I looked at Jaja who was sitting on the sofa again.
She was holding on to her favorite stuffed dog toy in her hand.
“Dah! Ah! Kya kya!”
Jaja was looking at the floating toys with a smile.
She looked like she was having fun, but for the time being, I went inside the enclosure and picked Jaja up from the sofa to ensure her safety.
“Ah!”
“Yes, yes, ah. Yuri-san, was there anything unusual?”
“Nothing in particular. Just the scarf that Jajchan drooled on earlier flew away.”
When I looked up at the ceiling, a scarf that Yuri-san had hung on her shoulder and the rubber ball was stuck to the ceiling.
“I wonder if this is Jajchan"s doing?”
“Probably.”
If you tickled Jaja and this happens, it"s probably Jaja"s fault, right?
Jaja was still the same as usual and happily reaching out to the toys and playing within my arms.
If I looked closely, the straight black horns that were growing on both sides of Jaja"s head was glowing a faint white.
“Are the same as that time with Nana?”
But the light is much weaker than Nana"s.
If I remember correctly, I was the only one who could see it shining at the time.
“Yuri-san, Jaja"s horns are glowing, right?”
“Is that so? It doesn"t look like it"s glowing.”
Yeah, it"s decided.
In Nana"s case, she was manipulating birds while crying.
Is Jaja also similarly manipulating something as well?
Do you just make things float? And there"s also a limit to what she can make float.
Toys, remote control, scarf, baby bottle, and towel.
From plastic products to gla.s.s and cloth. What is the difference between floating objects and non-floating objects?
I left the enclosure while comparing the toys swaying in the air.
I don"t know.
There doesn"t seem to be anything in common.
The sizes were also different, and only one of the two identical baby bottles were floating.
What is it?
“Ouch!”
While I was walking and thinking, I stepped on a toy that had fallen.
It"s a human girl doll played by with kids a little older than Jaja and Nana.
It"s a famous realistic doll with beautiful proportions and manglike eye stickers.
I just remembered that yesterday, it"s one of the toys my father received from a colleague with kids. When I first showed it to my twins, I remember Jaja scared and crying.
Did Jaja bite its head and threw it away because father was persistent? Nana played with it normally, but Jaja didn"t even try to get close.
“Ah, it hurts.”
I bent down and reached out with my left hand to pick up the doll.
Let"s put it in the toy box, so it doesn"t become one of the toys floating in the air and scare her.
“Hmm?”
Huh? I can"t pick it up.
“Oh?”
Not to mention picking it up, I couldn"t even get a finger underneath it.
“Why?”
I laid Jaja down on the ground for now and challenged it with both hands.
“Fuuuh! It"s heavy!”
Are you kidding? How many times have I picked it up with one hand up until now!?
No matter how much strength I put in, even if I planted both feet and pulled with my back, the doll did not budge an inch from its sleeping position.
“Ah! Dah!”
Next to that, Jaja was swinging her hands and was glad to see the fluffy toys.
I finally gave up and sat down next to Jaja.
“What the heck is going on?”
I relaxed and adjusted my rough breathing.
“Why is this so heavy?”
This weight is simply not possible with the size of this doll.
Hmm?
Weight?
“Huh?”
Speaking of which, the monkey Maracas was lighter than usual.
This doll is heavier than usual.
“Weight…?”
Is Jaja manipulating the weight?
No, that"s not it.
It won"t float in the air just because it"s lighter. No helium gas.
Then why is it floating? Why can"t I pick it up?
I looked around again.
Various things, from large to small, were freely flying around the room.
Yuri-san and Nana were looking up in marvel.
I"ve seen this scene somewhere before.
That"s it, the astronauts broadcast I saw in the news felt something like this …?
“… gravity?”
Objects float in s.p.a.ce because of the small influence of gravity.
Conversely, if gravity increases, things will be sewn to the ground.
For a test, I poked the tiger tambourine, which was floating nearby, with my finger.
Responding to the movement, the tiger tambourine slowly drifted away from me.
“Are you making gravity lighter or heavier?”
Physicists would become as pale as a ghost.
If so, on what basis are you choosing what floats?
The baby towels are the ones you get covered with when you take a nap.
The baby bottles is Jaja"s, and the animal instrument series is also Jaja"s favorite.
Jaja was biting the remote control a while ago…
The things you bit?
“Yuri-san, did Jaja drool on the scarf earlier?”
“Yes, she was biting the edge, so I spread it out on the sofa to dry it.”
I saw Jaja biting the rubber ball earlier.
“The things that Jaja bit are floating or getting heavier…?”
I looked at Jaja while wondering.
“Ah! Aah!”
Jaja was laughing, the same as always.
