"Hey, can I join, as well?"
The children that were about to start their game got surprised by Alt-nii's sudden request.
Alt-nii... you're really something. You don't even know any of these children, but you daringly wanted to join them...
"Fine, but you will just be a regular prisoner, is that okay?"
"That sounds good!"
And that's how he just suddenly fitted into the group.
"You're not going to join them, Murph?" Rupert asked.
"Ah... No, I think I will just look at them."
As the game started, the boy with bandage who became "it" quickly chased after his friends' shadows. He quickly stepped on the slowest girl's shadow while saying something I can't quite hear—and in that instant, the girl's movement stopped.
Wow, the girl's good at acting, eh? She can even notice that her shadow's being stepped and stopped her movements immediately.
Soon, the other children were caught—and now it's down to Alt-nii and the leader of the prisoners.
"Newbie, you're good at this, but I'm going to catch you!"
"Hehe, thanks for your compliment~"
The moment when Alt-nii's shadow was about to get stepped on, suddenly his shadow shrunk and the child who became "it" failed to step on his shadow.
"Huh, wha, how could it be?"
I can see that he's confused. Alt-nii, on the other hand, smirked even more.
"...He is definitely using his Void magic to erase part of his shadow," Mom deducted.
...Alt-nii, seriously? In a game?
As he ran around the park, he managed to see the other children whose movements are completely stopped. Really, the children are so good at pretending to be paralyzed. One of them had an amazing balance, as one of her legs were crossed to the back. Or did she wobble when I wasn't paying any attention to her?
Alt-nii seemed to be thinking when he saw the other children. And at the moment he slowed down, the child who chased him was about to step on his shadow. I was sure that Alt-nii would pull out his trick again, to erase the presence of his shadow, but... for some reason, his shadow wasn't shrinking at all. At that moment, the child managed to step on Alt-nii's shadow, and Alt-nii also immediately stopped.
Wait what, Alt-nii, you're also as good as the other children in immediately stopping your movements? Wait, could it be that the children of this generation often play games like this that they are so used to it? Did Alt-nii play this kind of game often at school?
The long-awaited moment is finally here. The bandaged child—the police, versus the half-oni child—the leader of prisoners. Instead of one being the chased and one being the chaser, the two of them seemed to be going after each other, and as their shadow was about to get stepped on, they would utter something and their shadow was manipulated in such way that the foe won't be able to seize it.
