Benkei Musashibo
How about you?
Benkei gave a giant grin and spread his arms towards me.
Shanao
Wha—
I stared blankly at him, stunned by the suddenness of his suggestion.
Shanao
(How about you...? What the hell did he mean by that...?)
Benkei Musashibo
Come on! Up we go!
Shanao
(Is he...is he trying to pick me up?!)
Shanao
Yeah, no. I'm fine, thanks.
I was confused, and Benkei leaned in closer to me.
Benkei Musashibo
Oh come now, don't be shy!
Shanao
W-Whoa!
Benkei picked me up and lightly placed me on his shoulders!
Shanao
B-Benkei! What are you doing?!
Benkei Musashibo
It's no fair to let the kids have all the fun!
Benkei Musashibo
How's the view from up there?
Shanao
I-it sure is high! Wow! I can see everything! It's so beautiful! B-but—
Suddenly, I remembered myself. Surprised and embarrassed, I panicked. The children shouted with joy from the ground.
Girl
That's amazing! You sure are strong, mister!
Boy
He's bigger than us, and you can still carry him so easily!
I didn't know what to say as the children began to frolic and dance around us.
Shanao
A-alright that's enough, right? Time to put me down. You must be exhausted.
Benkei Musashibo
Not at all! You're as light as a feather! I could climb a mountain like this.
Benkei Musashibo
You know better than anyone else just how strong I am!
