Ryuto awkwardly returned to the main topic.

"Well, the reason is precisely because of her normality, to be more precise, because she is a Dreibelinian."

"Oh..."

Fieus's tone revealed a hint of surprise.

"The fact you all wanted is that a Dreibelinian flight attendant, due to the Kingdom of Furosta's inability to pay the ransom, caused the plane flying from Dreibelin to Furosta to crash. The reason for the plane crash is the Kingdom of Furosta's inability to pay the ransom, and the person who caused the plane to crash is a Dreibelinian flight attendant. Both countries bear some responsibility, and this creates conflict between the two countries. It's also the reason for intentionally making trouble with money."

"..."

Fieus fell silent for the first time.

"This is also the true purpose of the person who gave you instructions. Moreover, if that person stirs up trouble nearby, it would be difficult for the two countries not to go to war."

Perhaps knowing that it couldn't be concealed anymore, Fieus shrugged helplessly.

"Oh, it seems I can't hide anything from you, boy."

"Even if you flatter me so blatantly, it's useless."

Ryuto sarcastically retorted with half-closed eyes.

"Is that so? Although big sister really means it from the bottom of her heart. And hey, how did the boy know it would explode? After all, there didn't seem to be any connection to it earlier."

"Well, you could say it was a guess."

"A guess?"

Fieus's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

"Yes, since your plan was so thorough, you must have considered a contingency plan in case it failed... In other words, just in case."

"Oh..."

"Since you've been caught, the only option left was to force the plane to crash. To achieve that, it's only natural to use a bomb."

Upon hearing this, Fieus smiled somewhat helplessly.

"So that's how you knew about the bomb? But how did the boy know that this individual was from the Kingdom of Furosta? After all, this person could also be from Dreibelin or even another country. After all, there are plenty of people who would take advantage of the opportunity of conflict between these two major countries to achieve their own goals."

"While that may be true, the real confirmation came just now."

With that, Ryuto pointed to the Bluetooth earpiece hanging from his left ear.

"Just now?"

"Yes, just now, the people from the Kingdom of Furosta tried to mislead our pilot and make the plane crash into the sea. Although they used the excuse of national interests after being exposed by our genius pilot, it was likely under the instructions of someone important from the Kingdom of Furosta. Because... as soon as the explosion happened, they contacted us proactively. It's obvious that they made the call after pressing the detonation button. What's the meaning of this? Causing harm and then pretending to save others. It's truly a poor performance, not at all like a hero saving the damsel in distress."

With that, Ryuto shrugged.

"But even so, that person could have been instructed by someone from another country. It's not evidence, and the boy must know that."

"Well, although what you said is true, there's a slight difference."

"A difference?"

This answer surprised Fieus.

"Ah, although that statement sounded radical, it didn't sound like a lie."

"That is to say..."

"Although I don't know that person, he should be a patriotic guy."

"It is precisely because of his patriotism that he cannot be influenced by other countries. Furthermore, it also proves that the person who ordered him is from the Kingdom of Furosta. 'Boy' means that, right?"

"Ah, yes. As for whether that patriotic guy was deceived by the influential person, I don't know."

"I see. So that's why 'boy' is so certain. Although there isn't much evidence, it unexpectedly has credibility."

Fiorence nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah, although we knew about the bomb, we couldn't stop it."

"If you knew you couldn't stop it, why did you come here? Is 'boy' here to get information about the person behind it from me, his older sister?"

"That's right. Although I really want to answer that way, it's not the case."

"Huh?"

Fiorence couldn't help but sound surprised. After all, this answer was unexpected, so naturally she asked back.

"Why?"

"Well... because if I say it, you won't have a good ending. Terrorists hate traitors who leak information."

"Oh, is it because 'boy' has feelings for his big sister and is worried about her?"

"No, don't overthink it. I'm just stating the facts."

"You always reject so decisively, are you not afraid that no girls will like you? Oh, sorry, I forgot that 'boy' is quite popular."

"... Are you doing this on purpose?"

Ryuto sarcastically commented with half-closed eyes.

"Who knows?!"

"..."

"But..."

Fiorence smiled slightly.

"There must be more reasons why 'boy' doesn't force me to reveal the person behind it, right?"

"Well, you can say that."

"What exactly is it?"

Fiorence's tone was somewhat stubborn.
