"Okay!"
Fujino picked up the little girl and passed her down through the triangular opening he had cut. "Sato, come catch her!"
"There, there. What a good little girl."
Sato Miwako reached out and took the little girl, comforting her before asking in puzzlement, "But Fujino, how exactly did you convince this little girl to come down?"
"Well..."
"It was magic!"
The little girl beamed. "The uncle who can do magic said he'd take me to see something fun!"
"Eh... eh?!"
Sato Miwako froze at those words.
She suddenly felt as though she had heard that line somewhere before.
Taking someone to see something fun...
Wasn't that the trick kidnappers they had arrested in the past often used to abduct children?!
How were you so familiar with that line?
Fujino gave an awkward cough, interrupting a certain officer's irrelevant train of thought. "Hurry up and put the child down. Her mommy is about to worry herself sick!"
"Oh!"
Without thinking too much about it, Sato Miwako put the little girl down and returned her to the arms of the young mother.
Watching the scene before him, Fujino could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After that topic just now, he could practically picture himself being suspected of child abduction, handcuffed by Bunny Miwako, then hauled into a police car with its siren blaring.
Yeah, taking a little girl to see something fun.
That really did sound like something only a kidnapper would say.
He would have to tone it down when tricking little girls from now on!
After silently making that resolution, Fujino did not hurry to leave the elevator.
Instead, he slowly stood up and looked over the ceiling above him.
As he remembered it, the bomb at Tokyo Tower was hidden on top of the elevator.
