Upon arriving at the cockpit, Ryuto met up with the other two individuals. Of course, they tried their best to avoid drawing attention from other passengers when passing through the cabin. If such a thing were to be discovered, it would surely cause a great uproar. And time was running out.

Therefore, as soon as Ryuto entered, he asked directly, "How is the pilot doing?"

"No, he hasn't woken up yet," Asuka replied with a hint of helplessness.

"What? What's going on?" Ryuto asked. After all, the pilot should have already woken up.

"It must be the work of that woman," Asuka said, shifting her gaze towards the young woman they had captured.

The young woman simply shrugged helplessly. "Oh, big sister, I didn't do anything special. I just gave them some medicine to temporarily keep them unconscious."

"You...!" Asuka gritted her teeth, speaking angrily. "So, what should we do? The pilot is currently useless, and this plane can't land. Even if you catch me, it's useless. This game has been over for a long time."

The young woman let out a proud laugh.

At that moment, Reimi Katsuragi stepped forward and calmly said, "Well, that's a pity. I happen to know how to fly a plane."

"What?" The young woman's smile froze, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Afterward, she shouted loudly, "How is that possible? Normal people can't do that!"

Yes, I understand. Ryuto silently nodded in his heart.

"No, it's not a big deal. I can handle planes, submarines, and armored vehicles," Reimi Katsuragi calmly replied to the young woman's question. "Well, that's impressive. It must be tough for those who can't even get a driver's license. You could win a trophy for mastery of all types of vehicles."

The young woman, realizing that the girl in front of her wasn't joking, could only remain silent, filled with unwillingness.

Ah, I understand. The existence of geniuses is so enviable.

At that moment, Manami Arashikaze approached and said in an admiring tone, "Ah, Katsuragi-san, you truly are a genius girl. You can even do this."

"It's not a big deal, Arashikaze-sempai. I've done it before," Reimi Katsuragi replied calmly, leaving everyone speechless.

Did she really do it? Is it a plane, a submarine, or an armored vehicle? Ryuto couldn't bring himself to ask. What if she answered with a UFO? That would be terrifying.

Now I understand why that girl earlier fell silent. It was pure speechlessness. To casually mention that she can do everything... the common sense of geniuses is different from that of ordinary people.

Ryuto sighed in his heart.

"Well, since that's the case, the problem of landing the plane is solved," Ryuto said, while silently sighing once again in his heart.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to solve. It's really different when you have someone to back you up. That's how powerful soy sauce is...

Once again, I emphasize, long live the soy sauce party!

"Next, we need to contact the aviation command headquarters over there," said Remi Katsuragi as she skillfully operated the machine in front of her.

She turned on the wireless device and soon connected.

Just as she connected...

"We are still consulting with higher-ups, so we are requesting an extension of time."

...

The sound of bargaining came from the other side.

In response, Remi Katsuragi replied calmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm not the culprit."

"What?"

The unexpected voice of a young girl surprised the other party, but they quickly regained their composure.

"What's going on? And who are you?"

With such seriousness, they asked.

To this, Remi Katsuragi simply replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Who I am, I'm guessing you wouldn't know even if I told you. Let's just say I'm an ordinary passenger, and as for the hijacking, let me make it short and simple. In any case, we have already caught the hijacker."
