Episode 32 – We are lost together?

After the dolphin show, there were many people in the audience.
“The dolphins were so cute, wait, she’s not here!”
Unexpectedly, I got lost.

“What should I do?”
It was hard to find her in the crowd.
“Ah! My phone…”
I pressed the power button on my phone, but it wouldn’t come on.
“What?! My phone ran out of charge here! What am I going to do?”
I was at a loss.

“Mommy~”
I saw a little boy crying.
I had to help him.
“What’s wrong?”
He wouldn’t stop crying. I found a place for him to sit and calmed him down.

“Uuuu. Mom and Dad are gone.”
“I see. Actually, me, too.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah.”
“Just like me!”
Then the two lost children went around the aquarium together. I liked the way he looked at the big sharks and said how cool they were.
I didn’t get to experience anything like this when I was little, so I didn’t have many opportunities to be impressed by seeing it for the first time.

As the two of us were eating soft-serve ice cream together, the boy’s mother approached us and said
“Excuse me, my son has been indebted to you. That soft-serve ice cream is…”
“That’s fine, you don’t have to pay for it. It was fun to spend a little time with him.”
“Thank you, Onii san!”
“Be careful not to get lost next time, okay?~”
“Yes! Bye-bye!”
“Bye-bye!”

I kept swinging until she couldn’t see me, and I kept swinging, too.
“Masa!”
Suddenly, I was hugged from behind.
“Mirei san?! Oh, so many people are watching…”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m glad. I was worried that you might have been involved in some kind of incident.”
“I’m sorry. My phone was out of juice.”
“I see”
By the way, a lot of people’s eyes were focused on us during this time.
“By the way, it’s about time you let me go…”
“Ah yeah I’m sorry.”
“I don’t mind…///”

I circled the rest I hadn’t seen yet.
She gripped me a little tighter than before.
“You don’t want me to get lost again, do you?”
“Yes.”
We saw beautifully colored fish and took pictures of many more things together than we had taken in the morning.

At the souvenir shop, we went to a shop that sold souvenirs.
“So cute~”
Mirei san picked up a stuffed sea otter, and I wanted a stuffed dolphin.
I wanted a stuffed dolphin, so we bought a large-sized stuffed animal.
I think I will use it as a cuddle pillow.
We also bought some glasses and a lot of sweets limited to the aquarium.

Yesterday too, but it seemed to take forever for the car to come, so I decided to walk along the beach.
“Oh, by the way, you were with a little boy when I found you…”
“That’s….I was looking for the little boy’s mother.”
“I see, my sweet boyfriend. I’m so happy to have someone like you next to me!
she shouted out to the sea.
“I’m having so much fun too!~”

Today became another memory for me.
