"Whoosh————!"
With a sharp sound of breaking space, the massive strategic bomber flew through the cloud layer at an extremely high speed, resembling a giant black bird. In an instant, it had crossed half the sky.
Along the way, the bomber was accompanied by strong winds, black clouds, and thick fog. Additionally, the bomber itself utilized some optical camouflage principles, making it very difficult to spot its silhouette during such rapid flight.
Thanks to these factors, the massive strategic bomber, named Fugaku, managed to approach Academy Island without being detected until it was directly above the island.
Of course, this was also because Academy Island is an artificial island located by the sea, a considerable distance from the mainland of the Island Country. This allowed the bomber to reach the island's airspace smoothly. Otherwise, it would have been detected by satellites and radar long before.
Under these conditions, the bomber flew extremely fast, continuously moving towards the sea.
Upon entering the Fugaku, Fang Li discovered that the interior of the bomber was quite different from what he had imagined.
It didn't have much of a mechanical or military feel; instead, it had a very strong sense of domesticity.
There was heating in the corridors.
The floors were covered with carpets.
The cabin contained rooms.
These rooms included both engine control rooms designed for internal control and living quarters.
Therefore, rather than a weapon, this massive strategic bomber was more like a base.
Given the modifications, perhaps the bomber's original military functionality was no longer relevant; it had essentially become a convenient means of transportation.
Inside the cabin, Fang Li, under the guidance of Yan and Tsubaki, arrived at one of the rooms.
"You will stay here for now." Yan pointed to the room with a bed and said to Fang Li. "I will have Sarah watch over you. Is that okay?"
Before Fang Li could respond, Sarah protested.
"Why me?" Sarah said with some dissatisfaction. "I don't want to be stuck with this monster."
It seemed Sarah truly regarded Fang Li as a dangerous character.
However, Yan responded, "It's an unavoidable situation. Since even Tsubaki and I together are no match for this human, there is no one here who can restrain him. Since we cannot overpower him, it is only suitable for you, as a human, to keep an eye on him."
After all, Oni are purely focused on power and doesn't consider much else.
Since power was ineffective, Sarah, as a human who understands thinking and possesses special abilities, was naturally more suitable to watch over Fang Li compared to the power-obsessed Oni.
It was better not to leave Fang Li unattended and let him run amok, wasn't it?
However, Sarah remained very reluctant.
"…Does this mission have to be carried out?"
Sarah glanced at Fang Li and whispered, "I really don't want to be with this person."
Seeing Sarah's reluctance, Yan and Tsubaki aside, Fang Li thoughtfully directed his gaze toward Sarah.
According to the information provided by Riko, this silver-haired girl, besides being an expert archer and a wind-manipulating Witch, also possessed a special ability.
That ability was named "Macrojuno."
Sarah, who possesses this ability, can predict the general movements of natural phenomena and see the impending death of animals and people with nearly 100% accuracy.
In other words, she is a Witch who frequently deals with 'Death.'
Perhaps it's precisely because of this that Sarah is reluctant to stay with Fang Li.
"It feels like this man has death concentrated deep within his body. It's terrifying…"
Sarah's whispered words confirmed to Fang Li that his guess was correct.
Fang Li's lips curled into a slight smile, and he looked at Sarah with keen interest before turning to Yan and speaking.
"I don't mind. If it's this girl, even if she's the one keeping watch, it's fine by me."
Fang Li's words left everyone present stunned.
Especially Sarah, who felt like she was being targeted by some kind of mad scientist and it was as if she might be dissected at any moment. Her charming face turned pale, and she shook her head vigorously, almost visibly expressing her resistance.
Unfortunately, as Oni, Yan and Tsubaki were not skilled at reading expressions.
"Since you agree, that's even better."
With that, Yan left Sarah with these words.
"Then this man is your responsibility. Keep an eye on him until we reach our destination."
After speaking, Yan strode off.
Tsubaki shot Fang Li a fierce glance before following Yan out.
"Wait…"
Sarah was left somewhat dazed as Yan and Tsubaki left so decisively.
Before Sarah could react, her hand was grabbed.
"Alright, let's go into the room."
Fang Li said with a misleadingly innocent tone, smiling.
"I'm very interested in you."
The words, though devoid of any ill intent, made Sarah's charming face turn even whiter. She shook her head desperately, but Fang Li dragged her into the room.
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut.
Almost immediately, Sarah's panicked voice echoed from inside the room.
"What… what do you plan to do?!"
"Oh, nothing much. I just want to observe you closely."
"Who would let you do something so strange?!"
"Hmm? It's not strange, is it?"
"It's strange! Very strange! Don't come near me! Otherwise, I'll bite you!"
"Do you think you're a Vampire? If you can manage to bite me, go ahead and try. In return, let me see your ability."
"Ability?"
"Anyway, come over here."
"That… that's towards the bed?! I'm not going!"
As soon as she said that, the door was forcefully burst open, and Sarah ran out crying.
But she had barely covered a meter when a hand reached out from the room, grabbed her by the collar, and dragged the silver-haired girl back inside.
"Bang!"
The door shut once more.
"Nooo, aaah aaah!"
Soon, Sarah's screams filled the air.
To clarify, Fang Li did not do anything strange. He simply activated the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception at close range, triggering Sarah's "Macrojuno" ability.
Even though this girl, used to seeing others' deaths, was facing the Mystic Eyes of Death, she still seemed to witness something exceedingly terrifying and screamed.
It was only this.
Really.
