Oh my gosh! 怖がらないで～！ Oh my gosh! Don't be afraid~! [Fiction]
父）Oh my gosh! 可愛い娘よ、怖がらないで！
娘）やだー 怖～い！
父）パパが鉄人だってことは、知ったはずだよね。
娘）知ってたよ～。でも、さっきまでは普通だったじゃん？
父）普通？ どういうこと？
娘）遊んでいた時は、普通の大きさだったでしょ！
父）えっ 大きさが変わった？
娘）気が付いてないの？ パパ 急に背が伸びたんだよ！
父）そうか、それはごめんごめん。でも、君と遊んでいて熱くなりすぎたんだ。
娘）え～ 熱くなったから伸びたの？
父）そうなんだ。熱くなると柔らかくなって伸びることがあるらしい。
娘）でも、もう師走だよ。これからもっと寒くなるよね！
父）確かにそうだけど、もっともっと遊べば熱くなるよ。そしたら戻れるはずだよ？
娘）そんなの嘘。春までそのままでしょ。やっぱりヤダ～。怖～い。
父）Oh my gosh! なんてこった！
東京オペラシティの中庭風景からお届けするショートストーリーでした。
(Father) Oh my gosh! My sweet daughter, don't be afraid!
(Daughter) Oh no, I'm scared!
(Father) You must have known that Papa is an iron man.
(Daughter) I knew that! But you were normal just now, weren't you?
(Father) Normal? What do you mean?
(Daughter) When you were playing, you were normal size!
(Father) What? The size changed?
(Daughter) You haven't noticed? Dad, you suddenly got taller!
(Father) I see, I'm sorry about that. But I got too hot playing with you.
(Daughter) What~ Did you grow taller because you got too hot?
(Father) That's right. They say that when it gets hot, it sometimes softens and stretches.
(Daughter) But, it's already December. It's going to get colder!
(Father) That's true, but it will get hotter if I play more and more. Then I should be able to come back, right?
(Daughter) That's not true. It will stay that way until spring. I don't want to go back. I'm scared.
(Father) Oh my gosh!
This was a short story brought to you from the courtyard scenery of Tokyo Opera City.
