"Reason?"

"That's right, in fact, they were just deceived by you, merely used by you. In other words, you know their entire plan, but they don't even know of your existence. That's why you intentionally allowed yourself to be taken hostage, to leverage them. And even if they succeeded in hijacking the plane, you would eliminate them, because in your eyes, they were sacrifices, obstacles in the way."

"What the boy wants to say is, the reason I became a hostage was not planned with them, it was my own plan, they were unaware. But why did I go through all this trouble?"

"It's simple, because your goals are different. No, it's more accurate to say that your vision is more long-term than theirs. That's why you can never truly be partners. After all... like I said earlier, if they knew your true intentions, they would definitely oppose you."

"My true intentions?"

To this, Ryuto calmly responded.

"Because... your purpose goes beyond just hijacking a plane."

"Oh, so does the boy think it's not about the money?"

"Although 20 billion is a lot, I don't think it's that simple."

"So boy means, if it's just for money, there's no need to hijack a plane? That reason doesn't seem convincing at all."

"I never said that, because your initial goal wasn't about money."

Upon hearing Ryuto's words, Fios let out a surprised voice.

"Oh... so what does the boy think I did it for? After all... it's not because I'm bored, right?"

Facing Fios' teasing, Ryuto remained silent for a while before speaking slowly.

"In short, it's to provoke a conflict between the Furosta Kingdom and Doreibiren."

"Does the boy think too much? Just for money, how could it provoke a conflict between two major nations?"

"That's why I said your purpose is not about money at all. After all... no matter what, it's impossible to gather 20 billion in a few minutes. In other words, you intentionally made things difficult for them, so that they couldn't gather the money within the designated time."

Although being told this, Fios still remained nonchalant.

"Even if what the boy says is true, why did I go through all this trouble? Even if it's like this, it's still not as simple as provoking a conflict between the Furosta Kingdom and Doreibiren. If it were that simple, wouldn't a world war have already broken out?"

"Indeed, it's not enough, because you did this just to find an excuse."

"An excuse?"

"That's right, now here's the question, why did you go to such great lengths, even pretending to be pregnant to deceive the flight attendant? Like you said earlier, it can't simply be because you have too much free time, right?"

"Who knows, maybe there's something special about that flight attendant."

"No, that flight attendant is just an ordinary citizen of Doreibiren, though considered experienced among flight attendants."

"Since that's the case, why would I do all this for an ordinary person?"

"Hey, I'm asking you, why are you turning the question back at me? Then my question was pointless."

"At the end of the day, it's all boy's fault, right?"

"Mine? Why is it always being dragged onto me?"

"Isn't it? Boy is just too cunning. Does boy always deceive girls like this?"

"Hey, why would you come to such a conclusion? There's absolutely no connection between the two, and I didn't deceive anyone."

"But boy actually knows, clearly knows, yet deliberately pretends not to know and then even comes to ask me, his older sister. What does boy want me, his older sister, to answer? At least consider my feelings, did I misunderstand?"

"......"

Seeing Ryuto's silence, Fiore smiled smugly.

"It seems I didn't."

Though she understood that her behavior was somewhat childish, she couldn't stop herself and would settle the grudge from before for now.
