Trampoline Mushroom
"What's a trampoline~?"
"Pochi doesn't know either nanodesu."
"Trampolines are like a toy. When you jump on it, it makes you bounce up and down."
As we walk through the narrow path, Arisa is explaining a trampoline to Tama and Pochi.
"Like the castle bed~?"
"It must be like the straw pile nanodesu!"
"You'll see soon enough."
Arisa snickers to herself as she watches Tama and Pochi gesture out their ideas for the trampoline.
Eventually, we hear the happy shouts of pixies playing around.
We pass through an opening in the trees and see the pixies bouncing up and down on the trampoline mushrooms.
I don't recognize any of the pixies, but I do see someone that I know.
Standing in front of them is Liza's elf teacher, the spiral spear master Gurugapoya, aka Guya-san.
"Liza."
"Instructor Gurugapoya."
As if influenced by the taciturn Guya-san, Liza also gives a short answer.
"Are you here to watch over the pixies?"
"Yes."
Guya-san nods at my question.
"Fun~?"
"Yeah, this is the greatest!"
Tama brings her face closer to the pixies having fun on the trampoline mushroom, and asks them with an envious look on her face.
"Pochi wanted to play too nanodesu."
Pochi whispers in disappointment as she stares at the pixies.
--It looks like the only trampoline mushrooms are pixie-sized, so they were way too small for Tama and Pochi.
"Aww, that sucks~."
"I determine that we exceed the weight limit."
Arisa and Nana seem disappointed too.
Guya-san looks at us and tilts his head in confusion.
"Magic charge."
He says that as he points to a small mushroom in the center of the area.
"So you're saying that they'll get bigger if we pour in our mana?"
Guya-san silently nods at me.
Might as well give it a shot.
"Great~?"
It's super big nanodesu!"
I walk over to the mushroom and fill it with magic, and it expands into a huge trampoline with enough space for ten people.
"Bouncy bouncy~?"
"Super amazing nanodesu!"
Tama and Pochi quickly jump on top of the trampoline mushroom, and the rest follow suit.
"Kya, Awawa, --Ah!"
Lulu seems to be unable to bounce properly and keeps losing her balance.
"Calm down Lulu, I'll help you get the hang of it."
"Y-yes, Master."
I reach out my arms and Lulu clings on to them. After a while, she gets the hang of bouncing.
"Unfair."
Apparently jealous of Lulu, Mia grabs onto me from behind. Nana follows her lead.
"Master, I request unification."
--Unification?!
I follow Nana's gaze and see Liza hugging Tama. Liza bounces up, and then throws Tama into the air at the peak of her jump.
I see, so that's what Nana was asking for.
"Got it, let's give it a shot."
I hand Mia over to Lulu, then hug Nana and try to do the same thing Liza was doing.
Naturally, since I'm hugging Nana from the front, I get a pleasant soft feeling on my chest. As we start to bounce up and down, that soft feeling turns into an uppercut to my face. It hurts quite a bit, but I have no complaints.
--*rip*
I hear a small sound, but I ignore it and launch Nana into the air the same way Liza did for Tama.
Afterwards, Liza seemed like she wanted to be thrown next, so I do the same for her.
As I catch Liza on the way down, I notice the sound from before happening intermittently.
"Uwawa~?"
"Ouch, nanodesu."
It looks like the trampoline mushroom split apart under the stress of eight people. Everyone is laughing while they are covered by the deflated mushroom.
And so, our trampoline time came to an end without anyone getting hurt.
The destroyed trampoline mushroom became part of our lunch.
Nothing beats a tasty mushroom dish after a healthy workout.
