episode_0031

I had decided to go out, but I couldn’t do it right now.

Because the outside is a dangerous and scary place.

I slump back into my chair and look at Shine and Amy.

Both of them seemed to have little interest in the footage I had seen.

I let out a small sigh and started to roll my head.

Neither of them wants me to go out.

So how should we persuade them?

“Shine~”

I decided to attack Shine.

I swivel my chair and call out to Shine, who is watching television.

She turned her head sharply in response to my voice.

Shine’s face is revealed through the scattering silver threads.

“By any chance…. What do you think about going out?”

Even though I told her to speak quietly, Amy, who was sitting right next to Shine, seemed to have heard my voice.

Her gaze turns to me.

“Jeff. It’s dangerous out there.”

Shine spoke to me as if trying to convince me.

I nod, wincing.

Even though she was right, I still couldn’t help wanting to go out.

I really wanted to see the movie.

“It’s still dangerous, so don’t do it.”

Amy continues.

I lowered my head and asked again.

“Not yet… ?”

“Yeah, there are still bad people out there looking for Shine and Jeff.”

“So if the bad guys disappear, can I go outside?”

When I ask hopefully, Amy nods.

My eyes sparkle.

It’s not like there was no way to get out.

But I couldn’t help but stretch out soon.

Are you saying that you’re waiting for the bad guys to disappear?

The theatrical release date was two days from now.

“Mom… . Can’t I go out and come back secretly…?”

It was Shine who answered my voice.

“Jeff.”

She came to me, rubbing her eyes.

I sank into my chair, covered my ears, and spun around in my chair.

I don’t want to hear nagging.

“Okay. I won’t go out.”

As the gaze rotates, Shine’s figure gets closer and closer.

As I added urgently, she stopped with a small smile on her face.

“Yeah. It’s dangerous outside.”

I nodded to her words.

right.

It’s a very, very dangerous place outside.

Fearsome wild dogs and thugs used to lurk in the streets, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

I fiddled with the mouse with a regretful heart.

The mouse cursor repeatedly played and paused the video.

It’s a pity. I miss you.

I didn’t want to give up.

The dangers that Shine speaks of certainly make me imagine situations that could pose a direct danger to me.

It was something that happened in the past too.

But now that I think about it, if I had the abilities I have now, it would all be something I could have resolved on my own.

I thought.

Shine seemed to underestimate me.

I spun my chair around again.

It’s more fun than you think.

Both of you may have thought I had given up on going out, but I didn’t.

After turning off the computer, I walked over to the shelf where Amy’s favorite coffee was placed.

But because I’m short, I couldn’t take it out myself.

A place that you can’t reach even if you lift your toes and stretch out your hands.

I look around.

Find the chairs around where Shine and Amy are sitting.

I swallowed dry saliva and began to creep closer to the area.

Since both of them happened to be staring at the television screen, now was the opportunity.

I grabbed the legs of the soft chair and began to carefully pull the chair away.

Swish- swish- the noise coming from the floor and the chair legs was too loud.

The weight of the chair is heavier than expected.

I dragged my chair over to the shelf with great effort.

I put the chair close to the shelf and stand up with my feet on the chair.

The gaze suddenly rose. This is the world that adults see.

I smiled triumphantly and reached out toward the shelf.

I lift my leg again, my fingertips shaking faintly, almost touching.

A stretched out finger touches the coffee mix.

I grab the coffee mix that has landed in my hand with a rustling noise.

“Okay!”

“What?”

I stumbled and was startled by the sudden voice.

Slanted gaze, sky-high coffee mixes.

In the gaze that went up to the sky, between the coffee mixes that were scattered in all directions, Amy’s face was visible.

She reached out to me with a surprised look on her face.

Amy’s arms draped over her body, giving her a feeling of being pushed away.

Thud thud thud-

The coffee mix that fell on the floor made a loud noise.

“Oops… .”

I turn my head away, avoiding Amy’s gaze.

“Did you want some coffee?”

“Ugh… . Yes.”

“But Jeff, coffee isn’t that good for you guys.”

Amy added, carefully lowering me to the floor.

“If you drink now, you won’t be able to sleep.”

That was exactly the effect of coffee I was aiming for.

I fall asleep too quickly.

The problem was that even when I took a nap, I fell asleep right away as soon as Amy changed me into my pajamas and put me to bed.

I haven’t given up on going out yet.

To execute the plan, we had to move at dawn, when everyone was asleep.

What you need to put that plan into action is coffee.

“Can I have just one drink?”

“No.”

Amy answered my question firmly and began to pick up the coffee scattered on the floor.

I watched her closely and then pushed a coffee mix into the corner.

The coffee mix that was stuck on the tip of her toe disappeared into a square shape that Amy couldn’t see.

“Hee… . Heehee… .”

I smiled triumphantly as I watched Amy’s back as she cleaned up the coffee.

I hastily covered my mouth at the laughter that was coming out of my mouth.

He covers his mouth with both hands and watches Amy’s reaction.

Luckily, she didn’t seem to notice what I did.

“Jeff what are you doing?”

The difficulty comes again.

I slowly turned my head, feeling the cold sweat running down my back.

Shine’s gaze, which should have been looking at the television, was directed at me.

“Have you seen it…?”

“What…?”

“That… . I did it.”

“Weirdly laughing?”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Shine didn’t seem to see me hiding the coffee.

By the way, you laughed strangely.

“You laughed so strangely… ?”

Shine seemed lost in thought for a moment at my question, then answered slowly.

“Yeah.”

I touched the corner of my mouth and made a sad face.

Was my laughter that weird?

“Aren’t you hungry?”

While I was fiddling with the corners of my mouth and thinking about my smile, Amy, who had finished finishing the coffee, asked me.

In one hand she held a steaming mug.

The familiar aroma of coffee wafting through the air whets your taste buds.

Amy noticed my gaze and smiled playfully as she spoke.

“I’ll buy you some coffee milk later.”

Although I was full of complaints, I nodded anyway.

Because the coffee milk was delicious.

“I’m hungry.”

Amy checked the time at Shine’s answer.

She looked ambiguous.

It was a little early before it was time to go out for dinner.

It was clear that the restaurant wasn’t open yet.

“Shall we have pizza for dinner tonight?”

I nodded at Amy’s suggestion.

The hair fluttered in the wind as the head went up and down.

“Like!!”

I stroked the ball, imagining the taste of delicious pizza.

My mouth is already starting to water.

I swallowed the saliva that had gathered in my mouth and waited for dinner time.

“Wait a minute.”

Amy took out her phone and started tapping the screen.

After a while, she left the room.

A space where only Shine and I remain.

I began to wait happily, full of anticipation of being able to eat pizza.

Sit on a chair and swing your legs back and forth.

“Jeff.”

“Yeah.”

“Do you like pizza that much?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious.”

“Is everything that tastes good?”

“Yeah.”

Shine began to seriously consider something in my answer.

“Jeff likes too many things.”

“Is it weird?”

“No, I was thinking about what would be a good gift for Jeff.”

“My gift?”

“Yeah, I was just picking out what to give her for her next birthday present.”

I kept my mouth shut at Shine’s answer.

Next birthday…?

It was such a long time ago, but I had never thought about receiving a birthday present from Shine.

It was only a few days ago that I received my first birthday present.

“There’s still a lot of time left.”

“Yeah.”

“So, you can just think about it slowly.”

Shine nodded to my words.

I looked at her and added quietly.

“Me too… . I’ll prepare a gift too.”

As if she had been waiting for those words, Shine smiled brightly and hugged me.

I didn’t hate the gentle touch of his hands.

It was just a little burdensome.

“Jeff. Do you want to go outside?”

A small voice in my ear.

I shook my head urgently.

“No! No! You’re never going out?”

I trembled with anxiety, wondering if maybe Shine had noticed my plan.

“Yeah, that’s good.”

Luckily, she didn’t seem to notice my plan.

I was in her arms for a long time, unable to push her away, as Shine rubbed my soft cheek.

It was after Amy came back that Shine fell off.

She came carrying five large pizzas.

“Isn’t that enough?”

I looked up at the pizza with sparkling eyes.

Amy’s hands are full of pizza and she places it on the table where we are sitting.

” and… .”

I opened my mouth to the enticing aroma that stimulated my appetite.

People with abilities need to eat more food compared to normal people.

Even more so for high-level abilities.

So it was natural to worry that Amy might be lacking.

Amy brought out a large plate and placed it in front of us.

A fork and knife are also placed, but they will not be used.

A large pizza is sliced and placed on a plate.

A huge slice of pizza is held in both hands.

The amount that could be eaten at one time with a small mouth was very limited.

I stuffed my mouth full of pizza.

The richness of cheese that wraps around the tip of your tongue, followed by the sour tomato sauce.

The crunchy texture of the shrimp dances in your mouth.

I eat the pizza with a happy smile.

In a large cup that can hold both hands, cola is overflowing.

The alluring sight of a glass filled with cool cola with ice floating in it naturally makes you reach out for it.

It was an incredibly satisfying meal.

Her bloated belly was visible.

As I slumped over in the chair and started to squirm, Amy came out with a wet tissue and wiped Shine’s mouth.

Five pizzas were completely gone between the three of us.

After finishing her meal, Amy cleaned up and left the room.

After dinner time, it was now common to see Amy absent for quite some time.

Thanks to the dinner time starting a little earlier than usual, there is some time until [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure] airs.

I thought it would be about time if I brushed my teeth and did a quick face wash.

I hold Shine’s hand and go into the bathroom.

Amy steps up onto the step stool she prepared, brushes her teeth, and rinses her mouth.

Shiny white teeth are reflected in the mirror.

As soon as I got out of the bathroom, I ran straight to the television.

A familiar opening begins to sound.

A twinkling starlight fills the screen.

I grab my pounding heart and get lost in the video.
