Part 3

Even after we parted ways with the children from the nursery school, we were often approached by people who wanted to know more about Ouma-san.

So of them were knowledgeable about reptiles, and they would eagerly ask questions about Ouma-san, who was obviously not a creature of the Earth, but those people were having their mories of Ouma-san erased by the terminal attached to rl-sans arm.

If left unchecked, it could lead to troubleso situations like, New species discovered! and I was grateful for that because it would have turned out to be troubleso. Space technology is really amazing.

While all this was going on, we decided to take a break at a nearby cafe.

Ouma-san wanted a cake, so I bought one and placed it in front of him.

There was a problem with showing Ouma-san eating the cake, so I had him wear a cloak to hide himself. However, from the other peoples perspective, it would look as if the cake on the ground was disappearing by itself. Of course, I made sure that the cake would not be visible to others.

I dont understand why it has to be hidden from view Umu, delicious!

(Its really delicious. In terms of nutrition, its inefficient, and eating too much of it may be harmful to your health, but in terms of taste, its very good.)

I-Im glad you like it.

Ouma-san continued to eat the cake, his mouth covered in cream.

So, what do you want to do after this? The place is Well, I dont think you know anything about Earth, but do you want to go sowhere?

Umu, yeah I would prefer to go to a place with a lot of people.

Eh, a place with a lot of people?

Yeah.

I was surprised by Ouma-sans unexpected request. Ive always had the impression that he hated being in crowded places.

Hmm? Dont get wrong. I dont like noisy places either.

T-then why?

Its simple. I thought it would be fun to go to a place where many people from this world gather.

I see

At the mont, I was taking a walk around my neighborhood, but as Ouma-san said, if we went to a place with a lot of people, there would be a lot to do. I dont know what Ouma-san is really interested in, but if he wants to go, Ill just go along with it.

I understand. Then, lets go to a place with many people.

Umu!

If it were really the case, I might take him to an amusent park, a zoo, or an aquarium, but as expected, its a bit far from my house, so Ill pass this ti. Besides, even if we could get into the park, there is no guarantee that I could take Ouma-san to all the attractions.

So we resud our walk, and as Ouma-san requested, we ca to a busy downtown area

O-oh! Whats with all the people here? Is there a festival going on?

No, its like this every day.

Every day? Why?

W-why, you ask?

Well, thinking purely about it, is it because there are various shopping facilities here?

Ive been thinking seriously about the reason why there are so many people in this place, and then Ouma-san spoke into my mind again.

Hey, Yuuya! Whats that?

Eh? Oh, thats a large screen.

What interested Ouma-san was the large TV set embedded in the wall of the building. It seed to be broadcasting the news right now.

Hoho this is the kind of thing that can be found on Earth.

(When the technology gets a little more advanced, itll turn into a hologram.)

Whats that?

(Its a technology that creates three-dinsional images instead of just projecting them on a screen like that.)

I still dont understand your technology. And dont interfere with my enjoynt of the show.

(I-Im sorry.)

rl-san averted her gaze awkwardly as Ouma-san glared at her.

From rl-sans perspective, the scenery here is probably full of outdated things.

As I was thinking about this, Ouma suddenly asked .

By the way, Yuuya. Whats a hijacking?

Eh?

I was startled by the sudden outrageous word, but Ouma-san continued to stare at the large screen.

What was that hijacking on the large screen? The only thing thats been shown there is sothing about a hijacking. Is that all theyre going to show?

N-no, not really like that, but

When I turned my attention to the large screen, the newscaster reported that one of the planes heading to Japan had been hijacked.

Breaking news. Currently, a plane scheduled to arrive at XXX airport has been hijacked.

Hijacked.

Seriously? Isnt that bad?

I an, is that really possible?

As the people in the surrounding area looked up at the news on the large screen, I had a bad feeling about it.

Then the newscaster confird my bad premonition.

The hijackers are demanding a ransom from the Houjou family, one of the wealthiest families in Japan, for the people on board the plane.

!

Houjou? Kaoris family!

As I recall, she said her sister was supposed to be back today, but could it be

When I was stunned by the content of the news, Ouma-san asked again.

Whats going on? Yuuya. And what is hijacking anyway?

There are airplanes that fly in the sky carrying people on this planet, and criminals hijack them.

I see In other words, the airplane has been hijacked and is in trouble right now. So why are you looking so pale?

Err the plane thats being hijacked right now seems to have Kaoris family, who Ouma-san has also t before, on it

I want to go help her sohow. But how should I do that?

Ive no way to fly in the sky. Theres a chance that I could use magic, but even while Im taking the ti to do that

What are you thinking about? You should just go.

But how do I get to the sky?

Yuuya. Who do you think is in here?

Eh? No way!

As my eyes widened in surprise, Ouma-san grinned at .

Well lets enjoy the Earths blue sky!

Kasumi Houjou was glaring at one of the hijackers in front of her.

Contrary to Kaoris neat and clean image, Kasumis short haircut with outer split ends gave her a sowhat lively impression.

In contrast, the hijackers all wore ski masks and were ard with guns.

Do you know who I am?

Yeah, of course I know who you are. Youre the daughter of one of the worlds wealthiest families, the Houjou family, which has branched out into various fields in Japan, including school managent, right? And its your fathers fault for ignoring all the threatening letters we sent him. So, if we kidnap you, we can collect ransom money.

It wont be that easy.

Hmph. What an impolite thing to say for a rich girl.

This is just enough for people like you.

Dont piss us off too much, okay? If you want to get ho in one piece, that is.

!

With the gun pointed at her head, Kasumi wanted to cry out, but she held it back and stared at the hijacker in front of her. She lived abroad with her mother and only had the chance to see her father Tsukasa and her sister Kaori a few tis a year when they were on vacation.

Although Tsukasa had told her not to co back this ti because of the threatening letters that had been sent to her house, she didnt want to miss this rare opportunity to see her older sister, so she boarded the plane to Japan.

Of course, she had hired an escort to make sure everything was safe on the plane

However, the hijackers posed not only as passengers but also as a mber of the crew, and they neutralized Kasumis escorts one after another.

Normally, Kasumi had a strong temperant like her mother, but now she was quiet. It was difficult for a junior high school student like Kasumi to remain strong in a situation where even the adults were afraid.

The man holding the gun to her head snorted as Kasumi glared at the criminal with all her might.

Hah. That was cute. At best, you can be a hostage for us to make money.

Then another man asked a question.

Hey, if we get the money, are we really going to give her back? I an, shes so cute when you look at her face; what a waste, right?

!?

The man let out a sigh as Kasumi stiffened in the unpleasant gaze that was suddenly directed at her.

Hmph I dont understand how you can lust after a kid like this. Well, Im not saying Im going to return her when we get the money. After getting what we want, you can do whatever you want with her.

Hyahh! Im getting excited!

Kasumi stiffened more and more against the man who was giving her the vilest gaze. As the hijackers continued their despicable assault, Kasumi closed her eyes and prayed for help to arrive.

(Father, Nee-chan, help !)

It was then that Kasumi suddenly noticed the window behind her.

(If I could just jump out of this window)

Even though she knew it was impossible, she couldnt help but think about it as she looked out the window Thats when it happened.

..Eh?

Outside the window, she saw two people, a young man, and a woman, who were in parallel with the horizon.

Eh, wa Eh?

This is in the sky, right? Why are there people? Whats really happening?

Kasumi is confused.

One of them, the young man, noticed Kasumi and waved his hand to her with a wry smile.

Kasumi shook her head in panic as the young man waved his hand, catching her by surprise.

Whats going on? There was a very handso man and a woman with strange hair outside the window, but Is it my hallucination?

As Kasumi continued to be confused on her own, the plane suddenly shook loudly.

Kyaa!

W-what?

Hey, just fly this goddamn thing properly!

The hijackers were also shouting at the sudden shaking when one of them ca rushing from the cockpit.

L-listen! I dont know why, but the plane has landed!

Huh?

What do you an it landed? Were in the sky!

B-but its true! I cant control the plane at all, and it wont move from the spot as if it had landed!

The hijackers imdiately rushed to the window to look out.

Then.

W-what the hell is this?

Hey, hey, whats this rugged land?

Is it even a land? Its dark purple and doesnt look right to !

The commotion spread not only among the hijackers and Kasumi but also among the other passengers, leading to a huge commotion.

Tsk Hey, you bastards! Just go and shut the passengers up!

A-alright.

The mont the hijackers tried to rush to the place where the other passengers were.

Guaaaaahh?

Wa?

One of the hijackers, who was supposed to be heading towards the passengers just now, was blown back in a big way.

While everyone was confused by the incomprehensible situation, a man approached Kasumi.

It was.

Ah, the guy from earlier!

Ah, yes.

When Kasumi pointed at him, he smiled as if he was in trouble.
