今日も東京？で火球が飛んだみたい。最近多いなあ。

『疾走Ⅱ』よりもっと足が速いダチョウくんです。火球ってダチョウみたいな生き物が、ビューンと地球に降ってる様子なんじゃないかと思っている今日この頃。

正直、火球に遭遇したときは感動してしまった。

(Tokyo today? Fireballs seem to have flown in Tokyo today. There are a lot of them these days).

(This is an ostrich that runs even faster than "Shippo II". I think a fireball is a creature like an ostrich that is falling to the earth with a bang).

(To be honest, I was moved when I encountered a fireball).
