Stepped out of the hotel's main entrance.

Ryuto first looked behind him, hmm, no one, not being followed, then to the sides, hmm, also no one, not being watched.

Yoohoo!

After confirming that there were no abnormal conditions, Ryuto ran all the way through the alley opposite the hotel and arrived at the next street.

Just as he exited the alley.

"Mr. Amagi, over here."

A voice came from the side.

"Ah."

While responding, he naturally turned his head.

In the pupils of his eyes, he saw an 18-year-old woman in a gray military uniform, with a short sky-blue ponytail on the right side of her head.

Different from last night, today she was back in her usual military attire, well, this was more like her normal self.

"Should we get in the car now? Or..."

Crepes·Clair gestured towards a car parked by the side of the street.

Ryuto who had come back to his senses quickly replied.

"Ah, let's get in the car first and then talk."

Well, how should I put it? Because the change in attire from yesterday was quite significant, he hadn't reacted immediately, probably not used to this sudden change, well, it would be hard for anyone to get used to it.

In any case, they both got into the car first. Last night, Crepes·Clair sat in the front passenger seat to accompany Ryuto and the others, but today, probably to discuss matters, she sat in the back seat with Ryuto.

Once they were in the car.

"Ah, hello, I'm Tena Mas, the captain's subordinate."

The driver greeted Ryuto and introduced himself.

He was a handsome young man in his twenties.

"Hello."

Ryuto responded as best as he could.

"By the way, you're Amagi Ryuto, the one who saved the plane yesterday, right..."

"Ah, although the name is correct, I'm not the one who saved the plane."

"Is that so...?"

After murmuring that, the young man didn't say anything else. Once he made sure they were both seated properly, he started the car without asking for the destination, probably already informed beforehand.

After the car started, Crepes·Clair turned her gaze towards Ryuto.

"By the way, Mr. Amagi, is it okay to come this early? Although it was the time suggested by Mr. Amagi."

She asked.

"Ah, it's fine. Actually, I woke up earlier. How about you guys, is it okay to come this early?"

"We're fine, we usually get up early at this time."

"..."

Is that so? It seems like people in this country have the habit of going to bed and waking up early, probably because they finish work so early.

I really want to immigrate to this country.

Ryuto shouted in his mind once again.

Out of the blue, the driver asked.

"Is Mr. Amagi really going there?"

Reminded by this, Ryuto couldn't help but recall the request he made to Crepes·Clair at the end of the night before.

"Ah, it's there."

"Are you really just going to take a look?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Perhaps not fully believing it, Crepes·Clair repeatedly asked Ryuto, giving off a slightly nervous vibe.

"After seeing it, will you agree to help us?"

"Ah, yes."

"But..."

After a slight pause, Crepes·Clair spoke again with a slightly serious tone.

"I still don't know the reason why Mr. Amagi is going there."

"Well, it's just out of pure curiosity."

"Is that so..."

Saying that, Crepes·Clair inexplicably lowered her head, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.
