Chapter 269

As soon as Akiha jumped from one gondola to the other, the gondola that Taiyou was in shook .
First up and down, then left and right .
It might have been that closest gondola and the shock it took when Akiha jumped to it .
「That…idiot . 」
He got his balance back, went to the window, and checked on Akiha .
She had opened the roof and was now inside the other gondola .
He couldn’t hear her voice, but he could see her from through the glass .
The gondola had stopped, and the children who had panicked from begin left alone in a stopped gondola were now greeted by a kind older girl, and had calmed down .
The gondola ahead of him stopped shaking .
「Phew…damn, she put herself at risk . 」
He sat back as his heart slowed down…just then .
Suddenly, the other gondola went CLUNK .
「Akiha!」
I felt that fear in my body again, and called out Akiha’s name .
Inside the gondola, you could see Akiha holding the children .
On of the connectors to the gondola had broken, and it was helplessly hanging from the ferris wheels body .
There were small noises of stress creaking from the connection area .
Everyone else had noticed the gondola’s creaking as well .
「What now…this is bad…」
There was not a moment to waste as Taiyou followed Akiha, opened the roof, and got onto the ceiling .
The gondola that Akiha was in was only held by one loose connection .
And anyone, even far away, could tell that it was soon to break .
As soon as Taiyou reached the roof:
CRACK
The sound of breaking metal and the gondola began to fall freely .
「Make it in TIIIIIME!」
Taiyou jumped from the gondola . He kicked off the roof and jumped to the gondola Akiha was in .
It was a distance he could normally reach . Akiha jumped there, and reached it .
Since he was jumping down…and the gondola was already falling .
He couldn’t get there in time, just an instant before he could have reached it .
Can’t reach it!
His neurons began to operate as the gondola fell in slow motion .
「HERA!!」
「Tah dah!」
「Ramming SPEED!」
「Wha? Oh, okay, desu!」
Hera was lost for a second, but then at Taiyou’s threatening look did what she had to .
In the next moment she shoved him from behind .
From her push he sped up .
「Get there!」
He had sped up, and while chasing it grabbed onto the frame of the gondola .
He gripped it with one arm solidly, and with the other he grabbed the frame of the ferris wheel .
「Ugh!」
In an instant, his whole body felt a huge shock .
A shock that felt like his whole body was to be pulled apart .
「UWHOOOOAHHH!」
After that, Taiyou put all his power into his body .
Just supporting the gondola was enough to make him feel like his body was being pulled apart, but when he flexed, that was a different story .
He stopped the gondola completely from falling as Taiyou was connected to both the gondola and frame .
It was one hell of a sight .
A thousand pound steel car held by one hand, and the young man holding it .
Commotion arose from all around him .
「Taiyou-chan! Are you okay?」
「Y…yeah…」
「Oh, it really is my Taiyou-chan…」
「Sorry…I don’t have time to speak…」
「Oh…」
Taiyou looked strained .
He was putting power into his arms, and that brute force was the hardest thing to do .
Before Hera appeared, it was hard for him to even buy a 40 pound bag of rice and go home with it in a bag .
It wasn’t that he couldn’t hold it, but the heavy bag would dig into his flesh and it would hurt .
Taiyou breathed out, and in, and said to Hera .
「Hera, please tell this to Aoba below . I’m okay . I know she must be worried . 」
「Okay, desu!」
「And when you’re done…go to Youran . 」
「Youran?」
「Yes, tell her what position I’m in . How I look and where I am . 」
「Okay, desu . 」
It was an easy to describe emergency, so Hera left without a question .
She flew up in the sky and disappeared .
After Hera flew past the gondola, a voice arose from inside .
「Hey, are you okay?」
It was Akiha .
She was asking through the roof she had opened with a worried expression .
She was his enemy in regards to Aoba, but now she was genuinely concerned .
「I’m okay, I think . Just don’t let them shake it . 」
「Okay, I won’t . 」
And after thinking, she said .
「Hey, do you want us to come to you?」
「Here?」
「Yeah! Instead of holding that gondola, you’d just have to hold us . 」
Taiyou nodded and thought it made sense .
「No . Just stay there . 」
「Why?」
「It’s harder to hang on to a bunch of things . I can handle one heavy thing . You know that right?」
「But then…」
「It’s okay . 」
Taiyou said strongly .
「And because those kids are already really scared . 」
「Okay . 」
She nodded and went back to the middle of the gondola .
Taiyou relaxed, breathed, and held tightly onto the gondola .
The weight would be okay .
It was enough that he could handle .
Until the ferris wheel moved again, until he was back on the ground .
It took around 10 minutes that Taiyou was left hanging there with the gondola .
