"Boom!!"

The bomb exploded.

The destructive power of the bomb was so great that the hot air balloon was engulfed in flames and smoke.

A scream of "Ahhhh" rang out from the audience.

The helicopter the MC was riding in was also shaken violently by the blast.

The MC was also shaken by the intense blast and said,

"Eeek!!! The producer told me to change the explosives to something more flashy, but this was a really intense explosion. I was so surprised I thought I was going to die."

In an instant, the balloon was engulfed in flames from the blast, and the gondola part was also on fire in an instant.

The balloon lost its buoyancy and began to fall in a parabolic arc.

If this continued, Mai would share the same fate as the hot air balloon.

Screams rang out from the audience watching on the ground.

It was clear to everyone that this was not a staged act, but an undeniable accident!

(Wow... this is really bad.)

The MC's face also changes color.

They try to get the helicopter closer to Mai, but they can't even get close because the rotors might cut the rope.

If the rope were to cut, she would fall headfirst to the ground since she isn't wearing a parachute.

The MC had no idea how to rescue her.

「ボカーン」

仕掛けられていた爆弾が炸裂した。

その爆弾の破壊力は凄まじく熱気球が一種にして炎と煙に包まれてしまった。

観客から「キャー」という悲鳴が上がる。

爆風で司会者の乗ったへリも大きく揺さぶられた。

司会者の男も激しい爆風に

「ひえー！！！！プロデューサーに言われて火薬を派手目の物に変えといたが、こりゃ凄まじいまでの爆発だな。ビックリして死ぬかと思ったよ。」

爆風で一瞬でバルーン部分は炎で包まれてしまいゴンドラ部分にもあっという間に火の手が上がった。

浮力を失った気球は浮力を失い放物線上に落下を始める。

このままでは舞は熱気球と運命を共にするしかない。

地上で見ていた観客達からも悲鳴があがる。

誰の目にもこれが演出とかでは無く紛れもない事故である事が明らかであったからだ！

（うわっ・・さすがに、これはやばいぞ）

司会者の男性も顔色が変わる。

舞の近くまでヘリを近づけてはみたもののローターでロープを切断しそうで近づく事さえままならない。

万が一ロープを切断してしまえばパラシュートを付けていない彼女は真っ逆さまに地上に落ちるしか無い。

司会者の男は彼女をどうやって救出してよいか見当もつかなかった。
