Chapter 1: Encounter an accident

After finishing a job, I’m currently flying back to Japan.

Fortunately, my uncle, the president, booked a business class ticket as a reward for successfully completing a big contract overseas.

It’s so expensive but it’s comfortable!

It’s a 10-hour flight, and long flights are usually boring, but a father and daughter who were on the same flight this time were next to me.
I was playing with the daughter, so I didn’t get bored and made fun memories.

When I boarded, I only gave a nod to the father, but the girl, who’s about 5 years old stood up and looked at me with a flickering gaze, so I did some magic tricks, and she immediately got excited.
Now we’re getting along well and she’s riding on my lap, playing with origami.

Her dad was apologetic, but I was a babysitter for my younger sister, so didn’t mind at all … Rather, a straightforward cute girl is welcome when I’m bored.

As I fold a crane, she says, “That’s easy!” and learns it, … as expected of an active kindergartener.

But young lady, don’t look down on me.

When I folded Totoro and Pikachu, she was very surprised and pleased.
I taught her how to do it, she learned it after a few tries even though It took me so long … I don’t have a child’s learning ability.

“Tottoro ~ ♪ Totoro ♪”

She’s in a great mood, she’s even a singing song.

“The aircraft will gradually descend and get ready for landing.
If you are standing, please return to your seat.
Return the seat table, armrests, and seats to their original positions, and fasten your seat belts.
“

An in-flight announcement was made —

Apparently, it shakes a little when descending, and it seems that people who are standing up need to sit down.
I see the girl’s father coming over from the back of the aisle to pick her up.

“We’re about to arrive in Japan, so go back to your seat alright?”

“Yeah.
Can I see brother again?”

I probably won’t see her anymore … Japan is surprisingly big.

“That’s right.
we’ll see again if we have a connection …”

“Yeah! See you ~ ♪”

I don’t deny it, but I don’t want to lie, so I don’t affirm it.
It’s an adult-like unpleasant way of hesitating.

At that time, there was a loud explosion and a big hole opened on the floor of the aircraft with a strong impact!

When I thought, “Eh !?”, I saw the girl’s father falling out of the plane as if sucked by the open hole … The change in air pressure and the roaring sound of the rushing wind hurt my ears!

And time stopped —

You don’t know what I’m talking about, but it really stopped, and everything turned black and white.
