Shinko blinked a bit, wondering if something had come out of the inside-out bottle. She made sure that her grip on the ribbon was still secure, still unsure as to what exactly the Repairman was testing out, or what it would prove.
“…what’s going on?”
“Well, a white ribbon came out of the bottle and it brought a hammer. Hold on to the ribbon, please!”
With that, the Repairman yanked on the ribbon-tied hammer.
“Wha-!” She quickly held fast to the ribbon that was about to move out of her grasp. She was trying to be careful though. After all, who knew what would happen if she would somehow manage to enter her own hammerspace.
The Repairman stopped pulling and untied the ribbon. He handed the mallet back to Shinko and pulled out his dustpan, tying it to the ribbon.
“All right, Shinko. You can let go of that end. I’m going to do what you did, so hold the bottle upside-down and see if anything comes out.”
