"Why should I join this episode? I'm still a kid. Hoshimi looked back at Mai Shiraishi, who was shrunk behind him, holding his forehead and sighing lightly.

It was already difficult to walk in a dark and cramped room, not to mention Mai Shiraishi, who had to drag an inch behind him.

"Ahh

The piercing screams pierced the roof and soared into the sky, reminding Hoshimi of painful memories for a few hours.

"What should I do... Am I still alive? ”

Hoshimi calmly adjusted the camera above his head, amused to hear Shiraishi's trembling voice. After the incident at the station before, Hoshimi has always felt that Shiraishi is a brave and reliable big sister, and now the other party's wrinkled little face is very interesting.

"You're still alive and well, is Mai riding a roller coaster for the first time?" The roller coaster is still in the stage of slow ascent, and it does not affect the Hoshimi finishing equipment and ridicule Shiraishi at all.

"Haven't you fallen yet? I can't. Shiraishi closed his eyes and completely ignored Hoshimi's inquiry, just squeezing the safety device fixed to his chest hard, and wanted to cry.

"Well, usually you stop in the air for a few seconds, and the view is nice from this angle." Hoshimi, who was in high spirits, swung his legs and looked into the distance, and the scenery of this playground was in full view, and the staff and members waiting on the side were greeted like a small black dot, except for a few members who were waiting at the starting point and gathered at the exit of the project.

Hearing Hoshimi's words, Shiraishi opened her eyes with a frown, and the afterglow swept slightly into the distance, and the feeling of falling from the sky instantly grabbed her heart. The trembling voice was even more pitiful in the cold wind in the sky, "I really can't do it at all...", with a cry that can be discerned, Mai Shiraishi silently pity herself with a bitter face.

"It's okay... Right? Mai closed her eyes, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she opened them—ah! ”

"Byebye, ah-"

Without waiting for Hoshimi's comforting words to finish, the roller coaster shuddered violently, and then swooped down in the air, not giving the two of them a moment to react. At the same time, the unexpected pain suddenly attacked the comfortable Hoshimi, making her cry out in pain.

Mai Shiraishi tried to soften the fear in her heart with the ever-increasing volume, and the screams that resounded in the sky accompanied the sprinting roller coaster one after another, and the members who were waiting on the side were enveloped in Shiraishi's heart-rending magic sound. The expected screams, the unexpected horrors, and the laughter of Nana Hashimoto squatting on the ground trying to hide was also heard in the ears of the members.

"I didn't expect Mai to scream so badly." Reika Sakurai looked up at the afterimage of the roller coaster, unable to escape the magic sound that still hovered in her ears.

Ikoma nodded in agreement, then patted Sakurai on the shoulder and said, "I really didn't expect that Miho would scream so badly." Before going up, I felt that she looked indifferent and calm, and I thought she was really not afraid. ”

"Miho, that's just tsundere, don't forget she's the youngest of us, it's normal to be afraid." Sakurai waved his hand and disagreed.

Hashimoto, who was in a good mood, slowly stood up with his somewhat sore abdomen and stood up with a fence, looked at the roller coaster that slowly entered the pit stop at the end of the trip, and smiled, "I think it may be more than that." ”

"Huh?" Ikoma and Sakurai were a little confused, but before they could ask more, they saw that Hoshimi and Shiraishi had returned to the starting point.

"Mai-like...... Let go of me first..."Hoshimi was still sitting on the device, and forcefully pulled his forearm out of Shiraishi's clenched hand, and then silently pulled up his cuffs, and a shallow red mark appeared on his slender and white arm.

"Huh?" Shiraishi was terrified, tears were still shining in the corners of his eyes, and his consciousness seemed to be swept away by the impact of the air. Hearing Hoshimi call her, she slowly turned her head to look at the other party, her red eyes were full of autumn water, and her shining eyes washed with tears sparkled to look at Hoshimi.

"It's fine." Hoshimi flicked his sleeves and covered his fair skin again, "I just wanted to ask, did Mai see Mt. Fuji just now?" The staff said that you can see Mt. Fuji from a high place. ”

"Fundamentally... I didn't see it..."Shiraishi's choked voice squeezed out of his throat, and tears finally fell from the corners of his eyes, and his mouth was deflated as if he was a little angry.

"It's okay." Hoshimi took off his helmet and rubbed his ears, which were a little red from being tightened, and waited for the staff to lift the security equipment and straighten his messy hair.

Hashimoto and Ikoma, who are usually waiting to ride, seem to come from two worlds. Hashimoto looked at Shiraishi's pitiful appearance and covered his mouth and snickered, while Ikoma finally realized that he would be the next heroic soldier, muttering something and looking embarrassed.

Hoshimi stood up, stretched out his hand and silently helped up the already limp Shiraishi on the side, and shook his head helplessly as he looked at the other party's still frightened appearance. In the next second, Hoshimi almost fell back into the chair by the weight of Shiraishi's sudden fall, so he could only move the hand holding Shiraishi's arm to the opponent's waist, and slowly walked off the battlefield step by step with Shiraishi in his arms.

"Let's stay here for a while." Hoshimi leaned over Shiraishi, who was half a head taller than her, but now rested his head against her shoulder socket, and whispered comfortingly.

Looking at Ikoma on the other side, who was already howling and shouting, he silently lit a lamp for Hashimoto in his heart, but his hand gently removed the camera for Shiraishi, who was weak and trembling.

Hoshimi just handed the hat to the staff, and watched Shiraishi, who was slowly recovering his vitality, obediently stand up straight and lean against the corner to drink water, and breathed a sigh of relief. It's a pity that in the next second, Hoshimi's heartbeat that had just slowed down suddenly stopped, and an earth-shattering howl came from afar, and Ikoma's familiar voice had become hoarse at this time. Shiraishi and Hoshimi poked their heads out and could only see the back of the roller coaster, and they heard the heart-rending screams of Ikoma alone.

"It's the first time I've known that Ikoma is a soprano..."Hoshimi silently glanced at Shiraishi and secretly scolded himself, "It's good that I'm next to Shiraishi, it's just a little painful, if Ikoma is Ikukoma, I'm afraid I'll be a deaf descendant."

"Ikoma is really cowardly. Why is there no sound all of a sudden? Shiraishi still straightened his head and looked at the back of the roller coaster with concern.

"Maybe I'm so scared like Mai that I lost consciousness, and I couldn't even scream." Hoshimi silently opened up a distance from Shiraishi before he cautiously complained, his voice as thin as a mosquito, muffled by the noisy voices in the passage.

"Miho too, I thought Miho was very bold. As a result, I felt more miserable than Ikoma just now, and I was really scared by the dance teacher before! ”

“...... If I had known who had started to fabricate this rumor, I wouldn't have let her go! ”

"But isn't it verified? Before the show, he claimed to be bold, but the fact that he was timid was verified by the program team. ”

"Mai, worry about yourself first, this may be just the beginning."

"Huh?"

Hoshimi looked at Shiraishi's puzzled look, didn't say anything more, and silently picked up the water bottle and walked in the direction of Sakurai and the others.
