Chapter 42
CHAPTER 42
It was the same dinner scene as usual .
My father and mother, and me and my sister . All four of us were eating rice .
The TV had been left on in the living room, and the laughter of an evening variety show or something like that could be heard in the kitchen .
My sister had cried in front of me yesterday, but today she was behaving as though everything was normal .
But I found out she was overdoing it .
My younger sister was pretending to be calm, but she was waiting for the truth to come out .
For me to start talking about moving .
To confirm it with our parents .
It can’t be put off, and it doesn’t make sense .
We can’t leave this world as though we were saving and turning off a handheld game . Sooner or later we’d have to face the problem before us .

I readied myself and open my mouth .
“Hey, dad, umm…”
Then it happened . The TV sound in the living room changed suddenly . Until then, an information program from the evening before was being played, but it switched to that of a news program .
My dad seemed to be distracted by it, so he sat on his chair and stretched to watch the TV .
“Ah, how rude,” my mother rebuked him, but my father’s eyes were still on the TV .

We looked at the TV so we could catch what was on .
A wrinkled announcer was reading a news bulletin .
The monitor in the background shows a video that seemed to be live .
“Currently, there seems to be a lot of confusion centering around the Minato Mirai district of Yokohama . Details are still unknown, but due to the situation, traffic restrictions are being enforced in some parts of Yokohama, Sakuragicho, Kannai, and Keihin, and the JR Tokyu Toyoko Line, Keikyu, and municipal subway lines are also halting operations in these areas . There are also reports of fires in some areas . ”
Unexpectedly, a television microphone picked up a woman’s high-pitched, deafening scream .

It was so piercing that the announcer went silent .
“Help me! Help me!” the voice screamed .
The scream echoed in the video with a hollow sound somewhere in the scene of the incident .
I stood up from the table .
My father, mother and sister were all staring at the TV with pale faces .
Something strange was happening . But what could it be?
