Chapter 73 - A Set of Flowers

"Gate D3 will now begin boarding its Group A priority passengers." 

An announcement echoed. This is the 2nd Capital's Republic of Deusagia Airport, more specifically the East district's airport. The scenery outside is stupendous, as the Republic of Deusagia is one large megacity with sky-piercing skyscrapers clad in screens featuring advertisements and what not, and due to the geographical location, this is also one of the most heavily rained on countries in the world. The airport itself is actually quite nice, despite the fact that the Republic of Deusagia is currently being governed by the Jurisdiction Court, however fortunately East District is run by the Alsaia Syndicate, who seems to hold no hostility towards anyone as of this current moment. 

"My god they start boarding at every gate but ours!" Kohayuki groaned as she stretched back on her seat. She finished her small stretch and fixed the sweater she is wearing. She turned to look at Satoya who sat across her, looking quite distraught, which she was in all honesty confused about, as she wasn't sure if Satoya is still nervous or feeling some sort of anxiety because of the fact him and the Satoya Gang went on a week and a half long interrogation session regarding the Cataclysm of the Disaster that they encountered, and miraculously survive. 

"Hey, Satoya, are you good?" She asked with a little bit of a confused tone. 

Satoya slowly turned to look up at her, speaking with a hint of nervousness in his voice. "Isn't this the country that the Jurisdiction Court is.. You know.. In control of?" The moment he asked that, he imagined Argoreas appearing before him, or in fact, anywhere near him as the moment he has realized that he is currently in the Republic of Deusagia, he was for the past week, having a rather difficult time as his memories of Argoreas in the Rieamaian airport to be one of the worst things he went through aside from whatever the hell Roland's bullshit was, but thankfully Roland is deceased, at the assurance of Rin, who despite Satoya knowing clearly that Roland is incapable of dying, Rin of all people assuring him, made him feel a sense of relief. 

"Oh yeah… Hopefully we never meet that guy again, but still, why did you decide to steal the Wrehtched Blood Vial from an Executioner?" Edward decided to ask Satoya, while taking a sip out of a plastic bottle of water. 

"I had to do a Contract for the Regulator's Committee.." Satoya said, looking down as if to hide his evergrowing embarrassment. The whole group went dead silent after that, the entire Satoya Gang's face is a mixture of understanding and also deep thought, as if contemplating the ordeal. 

"Well, that was lowkey the Regulator's Committee's fault, shoulda done more research into the location before making some basic ass Okamuran do the Contract." Isaac broke the silence, standing up to throw his trash away into the designated trash bin in his gate. Satoya seems even more distraught upon Isaac's statement, which prompts Kohayuki to speak to ease the mood. 

"Hey, I sincerely doubt we'll ever run into that guy again, I mean c'mon, would an Executioner of the Jurisdiction Court be that petty to hunt down one random dude? I bet he has too many other things to do anyway." 

Edward added on to Kohayuki's statement, "plus, we got stronger than that time, I think maybe way stronger, we can probably stall till someone comes and helps us like Ludwig or maybe Rin if we are lucky enough." 

"Why not Juliet? Isn't she now part of the Subsidiary Division?" Johnathan finally spoke. 

"She has business to do in Cervantes or something, but she said she'll likely go on vacation again to Huangfu before Winter." Edward answered. He took out his phone to look at the time, then took a glance at a large screen above the Gate Agents for their gate. 

Boarding Time

East District, Republic of Deusagia → Takeda, Okamura

12:38 AM

"We have another hour, oh my god.." Edward cried out, wiping his face with his palms. He then lounged on his seat, mimicking a sobbing noise. While he was sobbing, Isaac made a suggestion, as he came up with a way to kill the time. 

"Wanna just walk around? Sitting in a spot isn't healthy so lets get our legs moving." 

The Satoya Gang took a glance at each other, and then nodded their heads in agreement to Isaac's proposal. So they stood up and began wandering around the Airport. They wandered around for a decent time, taking a look outside at the raining megacity, even had the opportunity of petting a random family's pet dog, which was suggested by Kohayuki and the whole deal was awkward, and also ate at one of the restaurant places the Airport offered, giving Satoya the conclusion that he now hates airport food since his chicken was severely undercooked. They made their way to look at the scenery again with one of the long passages that has a moving walkway behind them. The passage was entirely glass, giving them the opportunity to look at the megacity for another moment, which they enjoyed to a degree. There is also a long line of plants and flowers lined up against the glass, but they were mostly focused on the megacity. Edward pointed at the large skyscraper with "PK CORP" And began explaining how PK stands for PeaceKeepers, a corporation or brand that is heavily associated with the Regulator's Committee, as they are responsible for making the Regulator Uniforms of every Regulator that is affiliated with the Committee. Their rival brand, is known as SafeGuard International, that works with the Compass Treaty, however SafeGuard international works on their weapons as well, to be specific, the melee weapons. 

While Edward was giving his lecture, Johnathan and Rayna were making their best attempts to seem like they were paying attention, with Isaac blatantly not listening at all. Satoya himself was trying to listen, however something caught his eye. He looked to his side, taking a short glance at Kohayuki who was leaning over a set of flowers. 

Asters are pretty nice.

She thought to herself.
