Isekai ni Demodori Shimashita? Chapter 4 (2/2)

Whilst stacking the printouts together, I asked the schoolgirl for confirmation.

“Ah-, umm… probably, yes, it should be, fine I, think…”

“Please be sure. If it’s fine already, then please hurry up and take these in a way that you don’t drop them again.”

After I said so,

“Y-, Yes-, it’s fine! Um, thank you very much!”

the girl said that in a panic and made to bow, causing yet another avalanche.

I fl.u.s.teredly pinned them down.

“No need for thanks, so please just hurry up and take these.”

When I said this, the schoolgirl ran down the stairs in a fl.u.s.ter.

“Honestly… She isn’t suited for this sort of task…”

I gave a single sigh while checking the time.

“Ah-… It’s already this late? I’m going to be scolded again, aren’t I?”

I let out yet another sigh, while heading up the stairs to collect my things.

“Now then, shall I hurry?”

Holding my things, I decided to hurry ahead.

At that time, had I avoided rus.h.i.+ng and calmed down… For a while, each time I looked back on things, I couldn’t help but wonder this…

The moment I had gone down several stairs to hurry home, another breeze danced through the air.

HYUUUUU… PASA…

It seems that a single printout from the earlier avalanche had been left behind.

I was sure that I had picked them all up though…

And then, could even “coincidence” have had that printout fall right where I was about to take a step?

In my haste, I had stepped on the printout with great force, and my foot slipped.

Normally I would have regained my balance with something of that level, but unfortunately both my hands were full carrying my wooden sword, dougi bag, schoolbag, and lunch box.

Even so, I tried to somehow regain my balance.

I immediately grabbed onto the handrail.

Thinking about it now, that might have been a bad idea.

Had I just obediently fallen on my b.u.t.t, things should have been safer.

Of all things, with the hand that was clinging onto the rail as the pivot, I made a full halfspin; in other words, the side of my body that was facing the bottom of the stairs, was now facing the top of the stairs.

“Eh-, wai-, uwah-”

And having lost my balance, I lost to gravity and centrifugal force, and fell towards the bottom of the stairs.

“Uwah-, c.r.a.p-”

Despite falling, I had noticed the height of the stairs, and attempted to ukemi.

However, for some reason, the situation was not as I expected.

Indeed. For some reason…

What lay before my eyes at the landing of the stairs, was not a linoleum floor, but a pitch black hole-like something.

Indeed. It is as you all imagine.

ZURU-!

“I-, uwah-, KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

..*

My body had fallen straight into the middle of that pitch black hole-like something.
