At this point, Ryuto and his group had arrived at the door of the cockpit, but what they saw in front of them was far from what they had imagined. The two men who had previously been holding guns somehow fell unconscious and were tied up with ropes.

Has it already ended? It's over so quickly, although I don't know who it was, I'm really grateful to this person. Ryuto couldn't help but sigh.

"What? Is it already finished? It's rare for darling to have such a chance to show off."

"Yeah, it's really boring. I wanted to see how Amagi handles things in his daily life."

Saying that, both of them showed disappointed expressions.

Hey, the way you guys are talking makes it sound like I do this kind of thing all the time, and it's based on the assumption that I enjoy doing it. Enough, I'm just an ordinary high school student, not someone who is normal during the day and transforms into a superhero who protects the world at night. Besides, I can't transform into anything, I'm not some kind of superhuman.

Just then, someone came out of the cockpit.

"Please don't walk around here, it's dangerous."

Um... it seems like this is the flight attendant who helped the pregnant woman to the infirmary earlier. Ryuto vaguely remembered.

So, Ryuto approached and asked.

"What seems to have happened here?"

Saying that, he shifted his gaze towards the two tied-up men.

"Ah, you're quite sharp. In fact, these two men attempted to take over the cockpit just now, and they were also carrying guns."

The flight attendant nodded.

"But why did it end up like this? It seems like their plan failed."

"Well, thanks to our captain and co-pilot. We never slack off when it comes to preventing hijacking."

Oh, that's really reassuring, and it also saves a lot of trouble.

"Is that so? That's really dependable. By the way, did you find anything else on those two men? Since they had guns, there might also be other dangerous items, like explosives. After all, suicide bombings by terrorists are not uncommon."

Upon hearing Ryuto's suggestion, the flight attendant looked surprised.

"Young man, it seems that you're just a high school student, but you really think of a lot of things. But rest assured, we didn't find any other dangerous items on them."

"Is that so? That's good then."

In any case, now we can rest easy.

At this moment, the flight attendant leaned in closer and whispered softly.

"But this incident must not be mentioned outside."

"This incident?"

Ryuto was a little confused by this ambiguous statement, and in response, Manami assuredly said:

"You mean the hijacking incident?"

"Yes, if other passengers were to know about it, it would only cause unnecessary panic. And in that case, something unexpected might happen too, after all, passengers' lives are the most precious."

"So they will be kept locked up until the plane lands."

Asuka looked at the two unconscious men and said.

"Yeah, after this, they will be handed over to the police for further handling."

At this, Hiyori said with a confirming tone.

"Which means, it's no longer our concern, right, Ryuto-sama?"

"Well, not for now. I really hope it will never be our concern again."

Ryuto couldn't help but sigh. "So, do we now understand the motive behind their hijacking?" Mayuki asked the flight attendant, finding it rare for him to be serious. In response, the flight attendant shook their head helplessly. "At this stage, we still don't know. After all, we haven't had the chance to ask, and this is also not within our scope of work. Therefore, we believe it is more appropriate for the police to investigate and clarify later."
