53 あおい ひだりて しろい みぎて
ヘンナノ奪還の喜びも つかの間、すぐに突きつけられる高度から落下の現実。
もちろん ボロには考えがあった。とても危険な賭けではあったが…。
フルパワーで強い弾力を有する水のクッションを手のひらで生成する!
ここで全水力を注ぐため、バルジーナ追撃に必要な水力は 兄弟たちに頼らなければならなかった。
だが、ここで策の歯車が狂いだす…
片手での水クッションの生成は想像していたより遅く、地表に激突するまでに間に合いそうにない。
ここにきて 右腕が無いハンディキャップが 重くのしかかる…!
最後の最後で ボロの希望は消えかかろうとしていた。強く、冷静であろうとしていた心が一瞬で
暴力的なまでの「高さ」に呑み込まれ、恐怖に涙が止まらなくなった。
「かみさま、いまだけ 僕のうでを かえして!!!」
その時だった。水のクッションがみるみる大きくなっていく!
ヘンナノが右手から水圧を送り始めていた。ボロのアイデアを察し全力で死と戦ってくれている。
「 ヘンナノちゃん⁉…ありがとう‼ 」
ボロは態勢を入れ替え クッションとヘンナノの間に潜る。
この子だけでも 絶対に生きて帰らせるのだ と。
激突までの あと数秒 ボロは祈り続ける。
僕たちは 明日もみんなで遊ぶんだ!僕たちは 明日もみんなで木の実を食べるんだ!
僕たちは死なない!
僕たちは死なない!
僕たちは………
53 Left Hand Green, Right Hand White
Raggedy’s moment of triumph lasted only a few seconds.
He and Snowy began to fall, and he realized what a reckless plan this had been.
He stretched out his arm and made the biggest water balloon he could to cushion the blow.
This was why he’d asked his brothers to shoot him up here with their Water Gun attacks. He knew he’d need all the water he could spare.
There was just one problem.
Forming the water cushion was taking longer than Raggedy had expected, and the two of them were falling fast.
Now more than ever, he really felt the loss of his right arm.
After coming so far, his last glimmer of hope was gone.
He started to lose his cool, sobbing with fear. They were so high up, and falling fast!
“God, if you’re listening... Please, just give me my arm back for a few seconds!”
Suddenly, the cushion of water started getting bigger!
Snowy had seen what Raggedy was doing and reached out her hand to help. The two of them were going to fight to survive together.
“Snowy?! ...Thanks!”
Raggedy shifted his position to put himself between Snowy and the cushion.
Whatever happened to him, he was determined to help her survive.
The ground was only seconds away. All Raggedy could do now was hope and pray.
We’re going to play with everyone again tomorrow! We’ll go and eat yummy berries again!
We won’t die!
We won’t die!
We won’t...
