Chapter 81 - Papa’s How-to (1) (1/2)

Currently, I’m “looking up” at Jaja and Nana from the dining ceiling.

I know it sounds strange, but this situation is too abnormal to be expressed in normal means.

To be more accurate, my feet were on the ceiling and I was looking down at the ground.

Up and down were completely reversed.

“What… what should we do?”

Yuri-san was sitting next to the twins and looked at me with her hand on her cheek.

“What shall we do?”

I should watch my step. Dust that had accumulated on the ceiling shifted with my movements and slowly fell to the ground.

It’s dirty. I have to clean it someday.

Oops, now’s not the right time to think about that.

If I bend my knees lightly, my body will float up.

It’s a strange feeling.

It’s a different feeling than standing on the ground.

After experiencing it for myself, I somehow understood.

As expected, this phenomenon caused by Jaja was changing the gravity of an object, instead of floating it.

The floating toys and I have lower gravitational pull. It feels different than being lifted.

As for that doll, it was affected by a stronger gravitational pull.

If I remember correctly, the gravity that normally applies to us is the weight?

Only that doll was affected by tens of times more gravity than normal, so I couldn’t pick it up.

I was worried and looked at the doll on the floor.

I wonder if it can stand it, it’s about to break.

“Uwah.”

I’m terrified.

Naturally, if it’s affected by a weight that far exceeds its own, it will break.

Jaja looked at me her large afraid eyes.

It looks like she’s asking for help.

Hmm?

Jaja is scared?

Ah, could it be?

“Yuri-san, can you get me the red plane from the toy box?”

Something clicked.

In order to check the thought that flashed by my mind, I asked Yuri-san for help.

“A red plane?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, but why?”

“It’s a toy that Jaja hates.”

“Hmm?”

Yuri-san got up while tilting her head.

The toy box was located outside the wooden enclosure and next to the sofa.

When Yuri-san approached the sofa and removed the lid of the box, it was densely packed with many toys.

More than half were things my father bought or received.

He received a lot of toys and clothes from colleagues with children that don’t need them anymore.

These gifts help us a lot since we don’t have any extra money to afford it.

Toys are appreciated but clothes are especially appreciated.

The twins who are growing day by day quickly grow out of their clothes.

They already can’t fit through the sleeves on the baby clothes I bought in the beginning.

This was because Aoi and I didn’t think it through. We didn’t even consider choosing clothes for growth.

We will need slightly large clothes in the future.

Yuri-san who opened the toy box rummaged through it.

A wooden red airplane toy appeared.

It is a sturdy airplane with a deformed propeller.

“H-huh?”

Yuri-san tried to lift the aircraft, but she couldn’t.

“If I’m right, it should be extremely heavy.”

“It’s no good, I cant pick it up. It was just so light a while ago though.”

“Okay, bingo.”

This red propeller plane toy has all parts attached so that it will not be easily disassembled.

It has a round shape and is probably a toy for children older than Jaja and Nana.

Because there were no sharp or minute parts, I tried giving it to Jaja and the first thing she did was bite it. She didn’t like the fact that the protruding part got stuck in her mouth so she tossed it away.

Nana plays with it normally, so she didn’t throw it away.

“Bingo?”

“Yeah, the things that Jaja bites and likes are lighter, and the ones she doesn’t like are heavier.”

She hates the doll and the airplane.

Jaja is a child who is delighted with most things, so things she doesn’t like are rare.

Those results has also revealed a lot of other things.

First, is the effective range.

If everything that Jaja bit floated or sank into the ground at the same time, that would be disastrous.
