Episode 238: Hijacking (Third Party Perspective) Chapter 5 Epilogue

"Here's your ticket to Japan for tomorrow."

"Thank you, desu ~ !!"

A girl in a white priest's uniform receives a ticket from a middle-aged Arab man in a suit. Four people, both men and women, behind them are watching.

Saint Noelle, a researcher and explorer of a certain institution, Asim, the head of the union organization next to the dungeon in Egypt, and a Junior High School explorer party helped by Noelle.

The tickets are for Okinawa, Japan. Noelle would like to get off at Hayama Airport, which is a transit airport on the way, but she has an appointment with Himari, so she plans to send them off properly.

That's why she asked them to prepare tickets to Okinawa for the number of people.

"Even so, the name of a Saint was not just a fancy name. Haahaaha."

"That's not true, desu ~ ?"

Asim laughs with his mouth wide open, Noelle tilts her head in humility.

"Haahaaha. It's rare to be humble after doing all that."

"Humility is a virtue, desu ~ ."

It is rare for a foreigner to be humble, but Noelle has grown up incorporating Japanese culture. For that reason, she has also perfected the culture of humility, and since it is rooted in Noelle, she often takes such an attitude.

"Is that so. Well then, the contract will be completed once everyone departs."

"Yes, desu. I'll wait a moment, desu."

As compensation, Noelle cooperated with the treatment of the injured and improved the food situation, and in exchange for taking care of her livelihood, she just received the tickets.

She will just go back to Japan later.

"Everyone got a plane ticket to Japan, desu."

"Thank you very much!!"

"Thank you, Noelle-neechan."

"Thank you very much, Noelle-san."

"Thank you, Noelle-ane."

When Noelle reports while showing off her ticket, the people who had already opened up in the past few days smile and thank her.

"Fufufu, you don't have to thank me, desu."

Noelle didn't do it because she wanted to be thanked, but she is happy to be thanked, so her face relaxes involuntarily.

"That's fine, but we'll be leaving tomorrow. Until then, you can go sightseeing, but what are you going to do?"

"I will refrain."

"I want to go back quickly, too."

"Me too."

"Me too."

Since they have plenty of time before their flight tomorrow, Noelle changes her expression and asks them, but no one wants to go sightseeing.

They are younger than me. After all, Noelle is convinced that their thoughts are full of Japan.

"Understood, desu."

After receiving everyone's reply, Noelle stands before Asim again.

"It seems that no one is interested in sightseeing, so we will spend the rest of the time here until departure time."

"Is that so. I understand. I will pick you up in time for your departure tomorrow, my best regards."

"Understood, desu."

"This time, truly, thank you very much."

"You're very welcome, desu!!"

After reporting everyone's intentions, everything is over, and Asim, who was unlikely to meet again, bows his head.

The next day, the guide came to pick them up as planned, and the group headed to the airport in the car, safely boarding the plane that would go through England.

"This time I'll make it to Japan, desu."

"Did you want to go to Japan?"

"Haa ~ ." Hina, who sits next to Noelle, asks Noelle, who sighs in relief.

Due to the government's arrangement, everyone's seats are placed next to each other, so Hina and the others are relieved.

"That's right, desu. I want to go to Akihabara, desu."

"Akihabara, is it. I want to go there someday."

When Noelle talks about Akihabara, Hina also lives in Okinawa, so she answers with envy since she has a yearning for the city.

"Yup, yup, Akihabara is a sacred place, desu. This time it's difficult because we don't have time due to ticket issues, but next time Hina should go too."

"Well, we can return safely like this, and it's easy to save money if you're an explorer."

Seeing Hina's expression, Noelle is happy to propose the idea, and Hina, also happy about her safety, says that she would gladly accept.

However, there is something Noelle can't overlook in her words.

"That's right, desu. However, there is still not much we know about the transfer trap, so I recommend that you refrain from exploring the dungeon, desu. Next time, I will probably not be able to help you, desu."

"I, I'll be careful."

That means that nothing is known about the movement of teleportation traps or the rules of teleportation. It is clear that if they entered the same dungeon, there was a high possibility that it would be the second happening of the other day.

So Noelle pays close attention to that point, and Hina nods her head.

"I don't know if all the dungeon transfer traps are like that, desu. If you can find out about it and find a safe dungeon, I think it's okay to dive, desu."

"Well, I'd like to avoid going until there's an announcement."

"Yup, yup, I'm glad Hina is a good girl, desu."

While the two are talking contentedly, it is time for the plane to take off, and they will fly straight to the Hero International Airport in England.

And everyone falls asleep from the daily fatigue and the relief of being able to go back to Japan.

-Pon

"Fuwaa ..."

By the time everyone wakes up, they arrive at Hero International Airport.

[ Everyone, today ... ]

An announcement is made, and everyone starts preparing to get off without unfastening their seatbelts. Next it was finally time to switch to a plane that flies to Japan.

"Freeze!!"

It happens just as she thinks so.

Aiming for the moment when no one has unfastened their seatbelts, a masked man begins to move, prying open the cockpit door and several people rush in, and the audience seats are also scattered with a number of people.

The man wears the armor worn by explorers, so it can be seen that he has an aptitude for explorers. He has a cane and a gun in his hands, since the airport in Egypt was also in tatters, the inspection was hardly functioning, so it was highly likely that a space expansion bag or conversion ring was used.

"If you move, I'll kill you!! Be quiet!!"

"What exactly is your purpose!?"

The cabin attendant shouts at the threatening masked man.

"We have only one request. This plane has an explorer called a Saint on board, right?"

"I, I don't know."

Threatened with a gun, the cabin attendant hurriedly answers the man's question.

"Right. Tell the explorer called the Saint. Come forward within ten seconds. Otherwise, I will kill this woman."

"H, hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?"

"Ten, nine ..."

As soon as he found out that the cabin attendant didn't know, he changed his policy, took her hostage, and made the Saint come forward.

" ... Noelle-san, what are you going to do?"

Hina, who knows that Noelle is a Saint, speaks in a low voice.

"Fumu. It can't be helped, desu. I'm going, desu. Hina and the others be well, desu."

"Uu ... uuuu ... Noelle-san ..."

Hina can't say anything to Noelle, who made up her mind.

"You don't have to worry about me, Hina, desu. I'm still a B-rank explorer, desu. I won't die, desu. Well then, let's meet again in Japan, desu."

Y, yes ... Noelle-san be well too ..."

And Hina knows that Noelle is a great explorer. That's why she doesn't stop Noelle, believing that she will live and see her again.

"Wait a minute, desu!! I'm the Saint, desu!!"

"Haa!? How can someone like you be a Saint!!"

Noelle goes forward, but due to her strange behavior and actions, she is not recognized as a Saint at first contact.

After that, Noelle, who has managed to convince them that she is a Saint, is taken away by the masked man, seated in an isolated seat, and a surveillance system for her is established.

He held hostages and demanded fuel. After being refueled, the other passengers were disembarked and the plane took off to another location.

"Haa ... I couldn't go to Japan again, desu ..."

Noelle, who has never worried about herself, thinks about Japan and speaks to herself.
