Why did you give us this before takeoff? Xiao Gucheng was puzzled for a while, but he immediately understood after looking at Ji Xuecai next to him.

Ji Xuecai had a tangled expression on her face and clasped her hands together as if praying.

"Are you okay, Ji?"

"Of course. No problem at all."

"No, but your face has become as pale as white paper..."

"That's just your illusion."

Her voice that answered decisively was very weak.

"...Are you afraid of flying?"

"There is no such thing! I, I am the sword witch of the Lion King Agency."

Hearing Ji Xuecai's clumsy explanation, Xiao Gucheng barely held back the wry smile that leaked out.

Although Ji Xuecai's unexpected weakness made her quite cute, but seeing her desperately hiding it, I felt that I couldn't laugh at her.

"Speaking of which, Saya can't do anything with the plane... Although that guy can't do anything with all the 'transportation' means, it's because he will faint immediately."

"I've already said that I'm not good at flying..."

Hearing Xiao Gucheng's inadvertent murmur, Ji Xuecai pursed her lips in protest.

The plane they were in had just begun to accelerate on the runway for takeoff.

The imposing sound of the engine and the shaking of the body made Ji Xuecai completely stiff.

Looking at the dazed Xuecai, Xiao Gucheng silently grabbed Ji Xuecai's trembling hand,

"...Ex, senior?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. I think it's more reassuring to hold hands at a time like this. Are you annoying?"

"I didn't say that..."

While holding Xiao Gucheng's hand back unnaturally, Ji Xuecai said in an anxious tone.

The plane has already left the Isogami Island, and all that can be seen around is the blue sea.

"The research content of Haze's father... Sure enough, it has something to do with the masked person..."

In order to divert his attention, Xiao Gucheng said to himself.

In this noisy plane, there should be no need to worry that Luo Wudao, who is sitting in the front, can hear their conversation.

"Yes...it should be right."

Ji Xuecai replied with a very bitter expression.

That's right.

The pattern of light emerging from the whole body of the monstrous Haze Natsune.

The possibility that it is a technique used to deform Haze Natsune's body is very high.

A person who possesses such a high level of knowledge in performing magic rituals, and who can actually perform that ritual on Haze Natsune.

Keno Haase, who is a magician of a large company and also Natsune Haase's adoptive father, undoubtedly meets these conditions.

"You actually transformed your 'daughter' into that kind of monster and let your companions kill each other..."

Rudely clicked his tongue, Xiao Gucheng groaned.

But Ji Xuecai shook her head again with a sad expression.

"Probably, it's the other way around."

"Hey?"

"It's not Kensei Haase who transformed his 'daughter'..."

"It was for the purpose of reforming her that she was adopted as a 'daughter'...is that the case..."

Such a cruel imagination made Xiao Gucheng's eyes full of anger.

The once lonely girl, the family she found with great difficulty, turned out to be only as an experimental material...

Then Ji Xuecai showed a weak smile like self-deprecating and quietly closed her eyes.

"Maybe Haze-san and I are very similar. So..."

The few words Ji Xuecai whispered made Xiao Gucheng finally notice her sincerity.

The situation of Hime Yukina who was raised as a sword shaman can indeed overlap with that of the current Haze Natsune.

For Hime Yukina, one wrong step might end up being used as a magic experiment just like Haze Natsune.

That's why Ji Xuecai met Xiansheng Haase in the Megascraft company, and even reported the name of the Lion King agency.

In order to save Hayase Natsune, she is quite desperate.

"Last night... Haze saved us..."

Akatsuki confirmed slowly while recalling the memory of the death fight that he experienced on the radio tower.
