"Isn't it 11:20? But it's almost 11:00 now, there are only 20 minutes left, no, even if we consider the 20-minute delay in takeoff, it will only be 40 minutes at most. It's almost impossible to gather 20 billion in this 40 minutes."

The other party's words seemed evasive, and the flight attendant was not happy to hear this.

"Oh, so you don't want to pay, is that what you're saying?"

"No, we're not refusing to pay, it's just that the time is too short..."

"Enough with the unnecessary words, I've said everything I needed to say. Now it's up to you to decide whether you want money or hostages. I've given you enough freedom."

After saying that, the flight attendant cut off the wireless device without waiting for a response from the other side.

"Well, it's time for the first stage to begin..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice interrupted him from behind.

"In My name, reveal yourself! Fuyuki, the mythical beast that soars through the sky."

"What..."

The flight attendant turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice, only to see a talisman being thrown in. No, that shouldn't be possible, the door was closed, and the window used for passing things was also shut, wasn't it?

At this moment, the talisman transformed into a unicorn. The sudden appearance of the unicorn plunged the flight attendant into chaos. Taking advantage of this moment, the unicorn charged straight at him.

Although the force wasn't very strong, it was an impact that an ordinary person couldn't withstand. The flight attendant was sent flying backward and lost consciousness in the next instant.

Seeing that their target had been successfully knocked down, Hiyori turned to Asuka who was standing beside her.

"Miss Asuka, is this enough?"

"Well, it's finally going according to plan. That little window can be used by that idiot brother to open the computer. After all, the switch for this door is inside and not controlled by the computer. It's a primitive mechanical switch that can't be opened from the outside."

"But as expected, just like Mr. Ryuto predicted, we can put the shikigami through that hole."

"Yes, the shikigami can transform from talismans, so as long as we throw them in while they're still in talisman form, it's not difficult."

"True, but can't we just directly destroy the door? Although it looks sturdy."

Upon hearing this, Asuka showed a pained expression.

"While that may be true, if we accidentally destroy something else, it would be disastrous. After all, airplanes are quite fragile in a certain sense."

"Is that so?"

Not understanding fully, Hiyori just tilted her head in confusion.

"Well, in any case, let's first find a way to open the door peacefully. Let's stick to the plan."

"Okay."

Saying that, Hiyori instructed Fuyuki inside to activate the door-opening device. It went smoothly, although she wasn't very good at giving commands, the shikigami seemed to know what to do on its own.

"Alright, it's open."

With that, Hiyori and Asuka walked directly inside.

They soon found the two bound pilots.

To this, Asuka simply said in a calm tone.

"Is it really a hijacking? I can't believe our worst fears have come true."

"So, should we tie up that person?" Hiyori pointed to the flight attendant lying on the ground.

"I don't think that's necessary. Based on my speculation, everything should be fine now."

"Are you sure?"

In response, Asuka pointed to the two pilots who were bound in the corner.

"Forget about that for now, let's find a way to untie them first. Without them, the plane won't be able to land safely."

As Asuka said this, her gaze tightened.

"Anyway, things seem to be going smoothly on this side. Hopefully, the other side..."
