Chapter 660: Leisure Time Before Ascension (1)
Elysia tapped Erina\'s shoulder with her finger gently. "We\'ve landed safely, Erina-san."
"Hmm?" Erina peeked ahead. Sure enough, they almost hit the hilly forest area. They survived. Everything was fine.
At that very moment, Erina held Elysia\'s hands with joy. "Yay! Praise God, we survived. You did it, Elysia-san! You landed this plane well despite our limited runway. Thank goodness..."
"Mm, it\'s all thanks to the guidance from Hawk Three and his team. They are the ones who guide us." Elysia looked up at the sky beyond the plane\'s windshield. The four jets flew back to their base, apparently.
"En!" Erina nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let\'s get off this plane. It looks like some elite squads have also been sent here by your grandfather\'s order. You need to explain some things to them, and get those bad guys arrested. Oh, they need to be interrogated too and shouldn\'t be released. "Elysia got up from the pilot seat while carrying Vanessa.
"Uhm, if it\'s my grandfather and father... I think they will make those bad guys suffer." Erina muttered under her breath, but she put those thoughts aside because she didn\'t care about those bad guys.
"Sylvi, we\'ve landed. Let\'s get off the plane and get something for breakfast. I saw a good fishing spot earlier. Want some fish?" Elysia didn\'t forget to wake Sylvia up.
"Uh-huh, Ely... Good morning, Ely. Hngh, how long have I been asleep?" Sylvia rubbed her eyes gently and raised her hand high for a slight stretch. She then accepted Elysia\'s outstretched hand to help her up.
"Um, maybe about four hours?" Elysia tapped her chin as she wasn\'t so sure.
"Four hours, hmm. All right, what are we going to do now? Catch some fish for breakfast?" Sylvia glanced at the white cat and smiled in amusement. Vanessa nodded profusely in complete agreement.
"We\'re going fishing~" Elysia was comforted to see Vanessa getting so excited.
After that, they all opened the plane door and descended the stairs. Many heavily armed soldiers were already waiting for them around the plane.
"I\'m glad to see you\'re back in good condition, Erina-sama. Can you report your situation to us so we can determine our next course of action on Mitsuzuka-sama\'s orders?" A soldier came forward and saluted.
Erina then explained some crucial things and asked the elite soldiers to arrest the bad guys in the captive room. She then asked for the passcode from Elysia, and the elite soldiers immediately boarded the plane to carry out the order.
"Erina-san, is it okay to leave everything to them?" Elysia asked in a whisper-like voice.
"Mm, they are under my grandfather\'s orders, and the captain was from a branch of the Minamoto Clan. My grandfather will be here soon too, so let\'s leave those bad guys to those elite soldiers. They know what they have to do." Erina took a deep breath and nodded.
"Okay. There are no reporters here, or- Oh, no." Elysia was just looking around to check their current situation, and she could detect some bad things from a distance.
"Did something happen, Elysia-san?" Erina was curious and looked in the direction where Elysia was looking.
"No big deal, but I saw some news hunters taking pictures. They might recognize you easily too. I wouldn\'t be surprised if there was news about you this afternoon, Erina-san." Elysia shook her head.
"Mm, I\'ll do something later. We can\'t hide the fact that this plane made an emergency landing near a tourist destination. Not to mention these soldiers, police and firefighters." Erina sighed, but she wasn\'t too bothered by that fact.
Moments later, the elite soldiers exited the plane with some cocoon-like captives. Those criminals were placed into a steel truck that, at first glance, looked like a mobile prison.
"Alright, Erina-sama. All the criminals have been arrested and taken into custody. Would you like to wait for Mitsuzuka-sama at the military base?" The squad captain was still feeling a bit shocked by a few things. These girls could defeat the heavily armed criminals without causing any significant damage on the plane.
"I..." Erina couldn\'t decide just like that. She would rather hear Elysia\'s plans after this.
"We\'re planning to stop by the fishing spot over there. It\'s not far from here. Would you like to come with us?" Elysia felt that their business there was over, and now it was time to leave.
"Please allow me to come along!" Erina expressed her agreement without delay.
"Then it\'s decided. Let\'s go." Elysia turned around and walked away. Sylvia and Erina immediately followed.
"..." The squad captain and the elite soldiers of the Minamoto Clan looked at each other in astonishment. They didn\'t know what was going on. Still, the girls seemed relaxed despite being recently involved with an international kidnapping crime.
Even so, the captain immediately divided his squad into two. One for escorting the criminals to prison at the military base and the other for Erina\'s group.
"Ely, did we forget something important? I feel like we just forgot something, but I don\'t know what." Sylvia scratched her head in confusion. She looked at the plane questioningly.
"Hm? We forgot something?" Elysia just got into the military humvee and wondered too.
\'Ely, you forgot about Xero. The great Heretic God turns out to be so insignificant in your mind that he can be forgotten, fufu...\' Elena reminded with an amused tone.
"!?" Elysia widened her eyes upon the realization.
"Please wait a moment, I forgot something on the plane!" After saying that to Erina, Elysia ran to the plane.
"Hm? Why does Elysia-san look so panicked?" Erina asked Sylvia, but she only got a confused look.
Sylvia then also ran away, following Elysia into the plane. They returned to the car with a sizeable pitch-black crow a few moments later.
"Uhm, okay, I didn\'t forget you, so please don\'t throw tantrums... You\'re a big adult, the great Devil G-, Heretic God." Elysia made a small excuse after receiving a lot of scolding from Xero via telepathy.
"Squawk!" Xero made a bird\'s-like noise and fell silent again. He flew near Elysia\'s head, and they got into the car.
"Uhm, Elysia-san, is that a British holy night raven? She looks a bit different..." Erina pointed at the bird that had just got into the car.
"No, this bird is a crow, and he is a male bird." Elysia gave a little explanation. "Please take us to the fishing spot over there, sir."
"..." The soldier in the driver\'s seat glanced at the big crow with a strange look. He could sense the bird was a harbinger of disaster for some reason. It was inexplicable, beyond science and human comprehension. He needed to keep an eye on the bird.
The other elite soldiers also felt the same way, but they remained silent.
"Nee, Erina-san, when will your grandfather arrive in Japan?" Elysia wanted to confirm something. She couldn\'t be around for too long because she still had other schedules on how to ascend to heaven.
"My grandfather was still continuing his journey to the east because of reports of a plane taking off towards Russia. So, if it is estimated, then my grandfather will arrive here at dusk or evening." Erina tapped her chin while estimating.
"I see..." Elysia decided to spend more time with Erina until someone she could trust arrived.
Three girls escorted by fully armed soldiers visited a fishing spot like it was a tourist visit from an influential group.
"Kind sir, we would like to reserve a spot for four. How much do I need to pay?" Elysia came to the counter and asked kindly.
"Miss, no, distinguished guests... You, you want to go fishing or, uh, why with that military escort behind you? This isn\'t a terrorist base or a crime lord." The fisherman stammered in fear.
He felt intimidated, and he was sweating profusely. It was the first time he met the girls with such a superior beauty, and they came with such strict escort. These girls were clearly some top-tier young ladies forming a particular renowned clan.
"Why do you look scared, kind sir? So, how much, um?" Elysia asked, but she decided to look at the price list behind the fisherman.
She took out some money and put it on the counter. "Four packs for two hours of fishing."
"Thank, thank you. You can take fishing equipment next door." The fisherman gulped his saliva in nervousness.
"Nee, Ely, how about we do a little fishing competition? Who can catch the most fish is the winner." Sylvia suggested a small event to be held.
"What is the prize for the winner, and what is the penalty for the loser?" Elysia was feeling intrigued.
"The winner will enjoy your cooking, and the loser will clean the fish before the cooking." Sylvia smiled innocently.
"Uh, I won\'t get anything if I win. Let\'s just enjoy our short leisure time while waiting for Erina-san\'s grandfather to come." Elysia shook her head with a faint smile.
