Chapter 12
We went to what seemed like a storage room at the Mall's basement as Kamala-san shut the door.
She had smashed some more of those bear robots and looked a bit exhausted but her face still had determination to fight and protect us.
Despite being only slightly older than me she was so brave and reliable.
I wish had the same level of confidence as her.
She looked at me and the girl which was with us and have pointed gesture to ground.
"We will stay here for now. I'll keep trying to contact the Avengers and figure out some plan to get everyone out of here."
It seemed like she wanted us to stay here for a while and I nodded in agreement.
The little girl said something worriedly and Kamala-san started talking to her in reassuring manner.
It couldn't understand their conversation so I looked away and found myself thinking about home.
"Come on!Still no signal?"I said with exasperation my communicator was still jammed by someone so we were on our own for now.
I remembered who was with us so I turned to her and smiled to not worry her.
"It will be alright. You'll be safe with us."
The little girl still looked nervous.
"Are you sure?"
I grinned and pointed to myself.
"Of course!I'm a superhero."
That did the trick as the girl chucked.
"So what's your name?"
The girl stumbled on her words a bit
"Oh!Umm...Jenny"
"It's a nice name. So...Jenny,did you come with someone."
"With my mom. I can't find her."
"We will. I promise."
She smiled a bit on my assurance. She later turned towards Makoto who was looking away and seemed to be in thought.
"Is he your friend?"
She nodded
"Yes he is. He isn't from around here."
"Is he a tourist?"
"Well...sort of"
I heard Makoto blurt out something.
"Kirigiri"
Huh?Whats that?He also raised his head a bit as if he had a realization.
"Makoto?What is it?"
He turned to be with a bewildered face and said
"Omoide shita"
