Bite
The child's parents quickly realized why their child was crying.
The child's mom couldn't help frowning.
"How did your ice cream fall?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
The child's mom gently patted the child's back, soothing him.
Now clearly wasn't the time to get to the bottom of it.
The child was crying his heart out.
He hadn't even taken a bite of the ice cream they'd just bought.
With a splat...
It was gone.
The child's parents felt sorry for him, too.
It was one of those trendy, social-media-famous ice creams.
At first, they hadn't wanted to spend so much time waiting in line.
But the child had planted himself there and refused to leave, whining and pleading with them until he was nearly in tears, insisting he had to have one...
So they'd waited in line for almost half an hour to buy him the ice cream.
It had been expensive, too.
And now it had fallen before he could even take a bite...
The child's parents took a deep breath.
No.
They couldn't lose their tempers yet.
Besides...
Clearly, the child was the one most upset.
"Waaah~"
The chubby kid was bawling.
He was utterly heartbroken.
His ice cream!
Catching sight of someone in the corner of his eye, the chubby kid suddenly opened his eyes wide.
He pointed in a certain direction.
"It was them!"
"They bumped into me!"
"That's why my ice cream fell!"
Huh?
The parents and passersby who heard the chubby kid's accusation followed his pointing finger and looked over.
Surprisingly...
The other party was made up of children, too.
They seemed to be boy-girl twins.
They had similar faces and builds.
At the chubby kid's accusation, the two children paused in surprise.
Then...
To everyone's surprise...
