「She got us . 」
Thud, Akiha said as she sat down in the seat again .
She had her arms crossed as she gazed out at Aoba with a smile . That smile was at that 「something」that Taiyou had felt between Aoba and her, Taiyou thought .
「This, isn’t your work…I guess . 」
「Yeah, I was surprised too . But maybe Kohaku is involved in this, I guess . 」
「Yeah . 」
Akiha nodded, and shuffled over to the opposite side of the car, facing me .
Aoba was watching Taiyou as he got farther away, waving her hand, as Akiha sat across from him .
「How long does this take to go around?」
「Maybe 20 minutes . That’s what the sign said . 」
「Okay . 」
「Did you have fun today?」
「Is that why you invited me?」
「A question to my question?」
Taiyou laughed .
Thinking about the girls’ relationships now, he knew that he wouldn’t get an answer, so he answered about them both .
「Why…I guess I don’t know now . 」
「What does that mean?」
「But, I can say that it was fun . 」
「You’re just flattering me . 」
「No?」
Taiyou opened his eyes and said with a surprised appearance .
「Really, it was fun . I mean…it’s almost like I’m thankful . 」
「Thankful? Are you being sarcastic?」
「No, just thankful . Because of you, Aoba had a great time today at the park . For that alone I’m really thankful . 」
「So you used me as a pretext for Aoba to have fun?」
「I guess so . 」
「Well, whatever . 」
Akiha looked away out the other side of the car .
A gondola with glass covering its upper half . As you were taken up, you could see more and more around you .
After only seconds the huge attractions in the park seemed to glide away, becoming smaller and smaller .
What came bigger was the real diorama around them .
「A ferris wheel…」
「Hm?」
「A ferris wheels the most normal out of all the rides, at every park…not even just parks, but sometimes on department store buildings . 」
「Yeah . 」
「Looking at everything around you, I guess you know why . 」
「Yeah, you do . 」
Taiyou nodded, and pointed to where he was looking out the right side .
「You can see the rail of the train over there . 」
「Yeah, I can . That must mean, Oritachi is over there?」
「No, the opposite way, I think here . From here you can see the ocean is way over there, right? So I guess this way is north . 」
「I see . 」
The two said, and watched the scenery below them open up .
Finally, the car reached its highest point, and began to fall .
The opposite of the way up, everything got farther while below became bigger, as Taiyou watched .
Just then .
CLUNK, and the gondola shook .
He lost his balance and grabbed for something close to steady him .
「What the?」
「It…it stopped?!」
Akiha had noticed quicker .
She looked out the ceiling of the car and said .
「It stopped?」
Taiyou looked out the gondola .
They simply sat and looked for five seconds .
「It is stopped . 」
「Yeah, you’re right . 」
They both nodded to each other .
The scenery didn’t change, nor did the positions of the other cars .
The ferris wheel had clearly stopped .
「Everyone, something has arisen in the operation of the ferris wheel, and we need to stop it briefly . We’re sorry, but…」
The announcement came from the car’s speaker, as the attendant’s voice continued .
「What’s the reason, I wonder . 」
「Who knows?」
Taiyou shrugged with his hands up .
Even though he tried to look calm, his heart was pounding .
That 「maybe something happened」feeling you have, that makes your heart beat quickly .
「Huh?」
Akiha seemed to jump up from her seat . She had noticed something, and was staring out the car window .
「What is it?」
「Huh?」
He looked in the direction Akiha was pointing .
The gondola ahead of them, just a bit lower than Taiyou’s gondola .
The one where only the children were riding .
「Ah, that one ahead…」
「Isn’t that dangerous?」
「Yeah, it’s shaking way too much . 」
They looked closely at the gondola .
Just as their parents had said, they had stayed seated looking outward from the gondola, but now that it had stopped, they were stumbling around in panic .
Because of that, only that gondola was shaking far more than the others .
Taiyou and Akiha had no idea how much a car like that could take . However, it was dangerous as far as they could see, and it was a sight that made you worry .
「…this opens, right?」
Akiha touched the roof and said .
Just like the sunroof of a real car, it was made that you could flip open the ceiling .
「Wait, what are you doing?」
「…hup!」
Akiha moved without answering .
She opened the ceiling, and her light body moved outside the gondola .
As soon as she was out, he long and beautiful hair was carried by the wind .
It was wind strong enough to knock you off balance .
「You’re not thinking of jumping over there?」
「I am . 」
「Wait, stop! If you fall, you’re going to die with a splat!」
「It’s okay, I’m good at high places . 」
「No, wait…」
Akiha went to jump, and Taiyou went to grab her, but…he stepped back just before he did .
If he could totally grab her, he would, but if he just only able to grip her clothes with his fingers as she jumped…then…
Imagining that, he experienced a mixture of his crotch getting hard with a fear that she would fall if he did such a thing .
That moment of indecision led him to step back .
And in the moment, she jumped from off of the ceiling .
