The Big Brother Wearing an Evil Ghost Mask Descended from the Sky! Mission Evaluation: SS! Proof of Walking!

Silence.

The surroundings suddenly fell so quiet that Chisa could hear even her own breathing with perfect clarity.

The crying, ringing, telephone sounds, and all those noisy, frightening, unsettling noises had vanished completely, yet that made Chisa's little heart skip a beat.

Something was wrong. Very wrong.

Chisa did not tell Tamamo about the current situation.

Because it would be meaningless. It would only make Big Sis and the Big Brother who was about to come save everyone even more anxious.

Big Sis had said to stay as far away as possible from places that made people uneasy.

Chisa placed her little hands over her chest and patted it gently. She felt as though she was almost unable to breathe.

I-I have to move toward the inside of the mall.

Because there was definitely no way she could go outside.

Chisa thought of the countless strangers outside the mall and the tent, all without shelter and so terrified that they could do nothing.

Her upbringing had taught her that everyone should live in harmony, love one another, and help each other, so she had to help them.

Even shouting out a single crucial piece of information might save many people's lives without anyone realizing it.

But in the end, the girl clenched the little hands pressed against her chest.

"Chisa... can't do anything."

—Even if people called her a selfish bad child, she didn't care anymore!

—Right now, Chisa only wanted to protect her family properly!

Chisa pinched her stiff cheeks, then crouched down toward the two boys who had just started elementary school and gave them a bright, sunny smile.

She pointed at the path leading straight from the tent into the mall. "Yangyi, Yang'er, can you take Mom inside? It'll be cooler where there's air conditioning."

"Oh, okay."
