Episode 195: I've done it now, desu!! (Third Party Perspective)

"Mommy, hurry up!!"

"Whose fault do you think this is!!"

After changing clothes, Noelle hurriedly loads her luggage into the car and rushes her mother. Her mother pushes through the road with her excellent driving skills even though Noelle rushes her.

Her mother is also driving frantically because it really is last-minute. Her ability to concentrate may be on par with that of a top-notch athlete.

"Thirty minutes to go. Will we make it in time?"

"I'll do something about it, so just shut up and hang on!!"

"Uwaa!?"

Noelle is also worried and asks her mother, but it's not the time for that, since she is concentrating on driving.

Her mother presses the accelerator further and the car accelerates sharply. Noelle falls backwards under the sudden force, but she is wearing her seatbelt, so she is only taken by surprise.

Then, without a word, her mother drives to the airport, and Noelle prays that she will make it on time.

"Have a safe trip!!"

"Kaay, desu !!"

Noelle, clad in a white priest's uniform, enthusiastically waves her hand at her mother.

Noelle-tachi manage to arrive at the airport before the departure time, she checks in at the counter, checks in her luggage, and is brought in at the last minute by her mother to see her off. Following the staff's guidance, she arrives at the boarding lobby after completing the security check.

"It's over there!!"

Noelle takes out her boarding pass, 'glances' at the number of the plane she's boarding, confirms the number '23', and walks towards 'Gate 3'.

"Welcome, guest. Boarding pass and passport, please."

"Here you go, desu."

Arriving at Gate 3, Noelle hands her boarding pass and passport to the receptionist.

"Yes, 'there is no problem'. Please pass by."

The receptionist who receives the boarding pass checks it with a clatter on the computer, 'making sure there is nothing wrong', then returns the boarding pass and passport.

"Thank you, desu ~ !!"

Without questioning anything, Noelle receives her boarding pass and passport, passes through the gate 'without incident', and boards the plane ahead.

"Excuse me, where is the seat for this boarding pass, desu?"

Not knowing where her seat is, Noelle shows her boarding pass to the CA and asks.

"Let me see. The seat is 'over here'."

"Alright. Thank you very much."

After being shown the boarding pass, the cabin attendant guides Noelle to her seat without any problems.

"This is the seat. Please take your time."

"Thank you, desu."

She is guided to one of the first class seats. It should be a place that a girl like Noelle should not be able to enter, but the cabin attendant guides her to that seat without questioning it at all.

"This is a nice seat, desu."

Noelle nods in satisfaction at her spacious seat and fastens her seatbelt.

"Haa ... I'm looking forward to it, desu, Japan. I wonder what kind of place it actually is ..."

A maiden who is in love with Japan thinks about the country she is supposed to visit.

"I want to go to Akihabara quickly, desu."

-Pooon

Thinking about Japan, there is the signal of the start of an announcement. But, she is so focused on her musings that she doesn't hear anything.

[ Good morning everyone. Thank you for flying Torimearu Flight 13 'to Chicago' ... ] (TN: Tori = bird, Mearu probably is Mailer. Weird that the airline is named in Japanese.)

The announcement of the CA beings, and the plane moves down the runway.

Noelle doesn't realize she's making a big mistake because she doesn't hear anything. The plane arrives at the runway for flying to America.

[ Ladies and gentlemen, the seatbelt sign has just been turned on. Please fasten your seatbelt ... ]

After a while, the CA announces again.

"I forgot to put on my seatbelt!" (TN: Umm ... Author derp? She fastened it when she sat down ...)

At this time, she hears the word 'seatbelt', so she unconsciously fastens her seatbelt and then thinks about her future in Japan.

-Pooon

[ Ladies and gentlemen, the plane will soon take off. Check your seatbelts again ... ]

After a while, the announcement is played again. The plane has already started down the runway and will take off in a few seconds.

Noelle shows no signs of coming back to her senses, still thinking about her life in Japan. The plane takes off and soars into the sky.

"Ohh. We took off, desu. I'm almost there, desu. I'll be waiting for you, desu, Japan!!"

Noelle still hadn't noticed. Unable to hide her exhilaration, she begins to tremble. Noelle pulls out her phone and calms herself down by watching a Japanese anime video she downloaded.

Before she knew it, the plane was completely on track and began sailing above the clouds.

"Fuu."

Noelle calms down a bit, and looks out the window. The blue sky spreads outside, and clouds can be seen below.

[ Hello everyone. My name is Paul Horgus, and I'm the captain of this flight ... ]

Just then, the captain's announcement begins.

[ The plane is now sailing smoothly at 2,200 feet. We are scheduled to arrive at our destination, Chicago, USA, on time. ]

"Eh?"

Noelle, who had been listening for no reason, is stunned because she doesn't understand the meaning of what the captain just said.

"Excuse me!!"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Is this plane bound for America, desu? Not Japan?"

"Yes, that's right, it's going to Chicago in the United States."

Feeling uneasy, Noelle immediately raises her hand and calls the CA to confirm, and is ruthlessly told the truth.

"No waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!"

Noelle shouts at the shocking truth.

"Wh, what happened!?"

"Th, this boarding pass is bound for Japan, right?"

Noelle hurriedly asks back to the CA who asks worriedly.

"N, no, it's going to America, but ..."

"Ah ... I see, desu."

Noelle finally understands.

Her boarding pass was specially crafted, enchanted so that the viewer could see convenient facts. Since Noelle belongs to a special research institute, it's a magic to hide her identity.

Noelle, who had completely forgotten about it, handed over her boarding pass and passport at Gate 3 without question. On top of that, she had a strong conviction and had a terrible sense of direction, so she ended up at Gate 3 instead of Gate 23.

However, the original gate is 123. When she glanced at it, she only saw 23 and decided that it was Gate 23, and intended to head there, but she further lost her sense of direction and ended up heading for Gate 3.

"I've done it noooooooooow, desu!!"

Noelle shouts at the ceiling.
