Episode 36: Come on, Let’s Fly!
“Kyaaaaaaaah!”
“I can’t do it, I can’t do it!”
The cabin was filled with screams and everyone was in a panic.
Opening the hatch at this altitude must be quite powerful, because the wind is blowing pretty hard in the cabin, especially near the outside, where you can feel the height directly.
And there I am.
I stood up, put my hand on the edge of the hatch, and peered down.
And the impression I had was..
“Hmmm, isn’t that too low?”
That’s it.
As I experience HALO descent from an altitude of 10,000 meters once every six months or so, 4,000 meters is not quite enough.
(T/N: HALO descent = High Altitude, Low Opening, also known as Military Freefall or MFF. [Source: skydivefingerlakes.com])
I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to reach a height where there’s proper oxygen.
However, Miyamoto-san could not possibly understand my feelings.
“It’s too expensive! There are about 2,878 miyamoto, so it’s expensive enough! Please apologize to me, 3,000 people!”
She let out an incomprehensible tsukkomi while crying.
So 1 miyamoto = 139cm.(E/N: I don’t understand this, sooo yeah don’t mind it.)
She’s so quick with her calculations. Maybe she’s actually calm?
If you take a step forward, you will take a sudden turn.
As I stood there with a cool face, I noticed that everyone, not just Miyamoto, was looking at me as if I were a monster.
It’s so cool!
“Oh, I’ll take a look at the scenery, too…”
Sasaki, who was standing nearby, tried to stand up.
But his attempt was blocked by the harness that connected him to the instructor.
The instructor warned him to be careful, and Sasaki was shocked.
“Don’t do that. You’ll scare me.”
“Oh, man. Kagami is very brave…”
The wind was still blowing, and I was still smiling at her.
However, just before I went outside again of the plane, I felt like Sasaki was staring at me with a terrifying gaze.
I’m a little ragged, aren’t I?
Oh well, skydiving is fun. I can’t let the degree of Sasaki taint that.
“It’s time to go!”
The instructor instructed, and everyone turned pale at the same time.
Now, it’s time to start.
I’m the first to go.
It’s my job to point the camera at everyone for a moment after everyone else has taken off.
But until then, I’ll let them have all the fun they want!
I put on my goggles and stood on the very edge of the floor, my back to the outside of the plane and my hands spread wide.
With nothing to support my body, I smiled fearlessly at the people on board.
“Iori’s gone crazy!”
Shut up, Miyamoto. I’m not.
Anyway, I looked around at everyone starting to get up in the blowing wind.
When I was ready, I did a back somersault and took off into the sky.
Gooooooooo!
The sensation of my internal organs being lifted by the natural fall was so fast that it almost left me unconscious.
The sky and the ground move around in my field of vision.
This is the only moment in my life when I can empty my head more than ever.
Ah, it feels good.
After doing a few backflips, forward somersaults, barrel rolls and other actions, I slowed down with my hands outstretched and looked back.
By that time, most of the others had taken off, and a pea-sized shadow of a person was sprinkled across the sky.
Oh, you’re saying “wow” and “kyaah”.
That’s right, that’s right.
It’s fun to fly, isn’t it?
I pointed the sports camera attached to my head in that direction and adjusted it to capture as much of the scene as possible.
I feel like I’m hanging myself.
I kill my speed and run alongside the others.
I can’t find Shiori’s funny face. I can’t find it.
After recording the students for a while, the parachutes started to open all at once at an altitude of 1000 meters.
It was quite an impressive sight to see such a large number of people, and the colorful umbrellas colored the blue sky, different from the paratroopers.
(T/N: Paratrooper is what military parachutist is called.)
By the way, I’m also trained in low altitude parachute opening, so I can’t open my parachute yet.
The only thing that’s fun for me is free-fall time.
I want to cut down on the boring slow flight as much as possible.
At about 300 meters above the ground, I opened my parachute and made a precise landing in the designated area.
Another accurate landing. Perfect score!
As I was praising myself, the others started landing one after another.
The sound of parachutes slamming into the ground continued.
The fear on the faces of many of those who had finished their flight disappeared, and a sense of accomplishment and exhilaration seemed to be evident.
But it’s over, isn’t it? The good times are still flying by as fast as ever.
Now, let’s clean up the mess.
Harnesses and other equipment were removed and preparations were made for the move.
After this, all the members of the first half group were scheduled to take the bus to the second half group.
However, it took us a while to get on the bus.
The reason for this was me.
Just before getting on the bus, I was held back by everyone.
“Wow, Kagami! I could see you spinning around and around!”
“Aren’t you afraid to open your parachute so low?”
Yes. Yes, I had enjoyed myself so much that I had become quite conspicuous.
The male and female students surrounded me with their glittering eyes.
It reminds me of the sea some time ago.
Just like that time, there was no hate, but respect.
Their voices praising me are comforting to my ears.
And in the crowd, I saw a guy who seemed to be a member of the Shiori fan club. Of course, he was praising me, too.
Is it okay? He’ll get yelled at.
Shiori, on the other hand, was staring at me from outside the circle.
She clenched her fists and shook her shoulders so hard that I could almost hear her teeth chattering from here.
Surrounding me was a group of equally disgruntled followers.
Normally, they always try to mess with me when I stand out. But this time, they didn’t.
I guess they know that they can’t win in this field by arguing with me, since I have a vastly different amount of experience.
It was a good feeling.
In any case, I’ll show her that I’m on top of my game.
“It’s no big deal. It’s not a big deal. Even if you’re a licensed pilot, and flown for 200 times, you’ll still get a C rating. Once you get used to it, you won’t be scared anymore.”
I boasted to Shiori in a clear and happy manner so that she could hear.
It’s amazing! After a while of encouraging Shiori and the others while cultivating an atmosphere of admiration, I was urged to get on the bus soon.
Unfortunately, that was as far as I got.
I wanted to make Shiori’s face distorted more, but I couldn’t.
I reluctantly boarded the bus and rested my elbows on the window sill to catch my breath. Then, for some reason, Miyamoto came to sit next to me.
Her hair was shaggy, and she looked terribly tired. Is she okay?
“Miyamoto, what’s wrong?”
“Iori is amazing. You’re the best, controlling that (skydiving) in a high place. I’m a little girl, and I wonder if I can become brave like you.”
“You almost became blind as soon as you jumped though.”
It seems that skydiving left a big trauma on little Miyamoto.
꧁🐰🐰🐰꧂
Oh, s**t! F**k! D**n!
You’ve got a lot of nerves, you bastard Kagami!
You talked about cheek-kissing in the ocean, but you did it yesterday after the costume contest! You lied to me!
It’s the same today.
You’re so happy that everyone’s loving you! Even after we flew with the second half, Chris and everyone praised you!
And he’s getting closer to Miyamoto. I’m jealous… I can’t stand it!
Of course, everyone has a skill.
You don’t need to make such a fuss over the fact that one of them was revealed, right?
It’s unfair!
But it’s okay. It’s only until tonight.
I’m going to take advantage of the astronomical observation and punish you Kagami.
I’m sure he’s capable of a bit of a fight, but we’re all set.
There’s no way he’ll find out. That’s why we’ve been treating him as normal.
I’m looking forward to… seeing Kagami cry and beg for forgiveness.
By the way, Shiori said that Kagami might have a voice recorder on hand.
But oh well, we can just beat him up and then take it away and throw it away.
Kagami… be prepared for what’s coming for you.
(T/N: Excuse me to whoever is talking here, I’ll beat you up first before you beat up Iori. Thanks 😊 I bet it’s Sasaki 😊) (E/N: For some reason it feels cringe hearing her say this.)
