Chapter 29 - Shopping Rhapsody (7) (1/2)

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 glasses.

“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 Mikuma.

“Fuyaa!”

Jaja made a surprised sound, but Mikuma properly caught her. Behind where Mikumu fell to, there were a lot of mattresses, cushions and colored balls.

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 Mikuma to get up.

The people in the surroundings were supporting the colored ball so that it doesn’t get scattered.

Mikuma who sat up smiled at Jaja with a pleasant smile as usual.

“Kazamachi-kun! Hurry!”
