12 To Nagoya!

Six months have passed since then, and it was the start of November in 2019 with the beginning of Sword Art Online happening just three years away. Keane's 11th birthday had just passed a couple weeks ago as well.

"Finna, Nero, please protect him alright?"

"Yes of course"

"Umu! Don't worry Mrs. Sakura I will be sure he is well protected! I am the best bodyguard one could ever have!"

Right now Keane was leaving to Haneda Airport on his trip to Nagoya. He was very excited as this was a sort of test for him. If he did well then he would be able to ask his father for his support in his future business endeavors.

"Keane, be sure to call! I will be lonely and worried when you are so far away."

"Okay mom, I will call you when I land okay?"

"Good"

Currently, Sakura was seeing them off. Tobio already said his goodbyes earlier, so it was just her. Over the past few months Sakura got to know Nero more and started to approve of her. The other members of Keane's fan club also thought of her as being safe due to her personality.

Keane was still unaware of his own fan club, mostly due to the fact that they only talk about their activities in very secret locations, like the underground room. As Nero didn't really care about such things, and she didn't receive bloodthirsty glares, she also didn't know of them. The only person who knew of existence of the club was Finna, this is mainly due to their large hate for her which caused an incident a long while back in the past. However, she was never able to find their club room which was well hidden.

It is a different case with Finna and Nero's fan club. While Keane's club is very secretive, the other two were not. It might be because Keane is the young master and the members wouldn't want to disrespect him due to their antics. Considering that Finna and Nero are both servants, it was more okay to be open about it.

Continuing on, the Finna fan club had went about as usual, they are a relatively non-violent club (at least compared to Keane's), but have very deep stalker tendencies. For Nero's new fan club, they personally introduced themselves to Nero (just random members not the leaders like Tobio). The person herself was very excited to see her first fan's in the world and would sing for them whenever she had the chance to. Seeing the beauty in her appearance and voice, Keane just knew he must share it with the entire world. This made him very eager to do well on his first 'business trip'.

It was do to the club becoming public that Keane also found out. As such, he began to investigate whether or not he had one of his own. Sadly, due to the efforts of Sakura, Keane's club was never found and stayed in the shadows, greatly disappointing Keane. He swore to himself that when he became world famous, he would make sure he had the biggest fan club.

He himself wondered what he should do to be known around the world. He knew that he would be very well known through the VR industry, but he wanted more. He couldn't go and become an artist, mostly because he wanted Nero to conquer the industry and he would be known as the world's greatest singer's master. As such he took some time over the past six months to figure out what he wanted to do outside of the VR industry.

"Bye Keane please be safe!"

"I will, see you when I get back!"

While Keane was waving and yelling back to his mother as they drove away in the car, Sakura was thinking of who to tell to get pictures of her son while he was at work. She could only imagine all the cute photos of her 11 year old son in a suit.

Relaxing back in the seat, Keane then continue to think back.

There were also some changes to Nero after being healed. The main change was her noble phantasm. It was initially called Aestus Domus Aurea, but as her singing changed into something beautiful, the appearance and nature of her noble phantasm changed to Lauda Lentum Domus Illustrius. It was initially made to be an area debuff weapon, but with the change, it was made into a more anti army weapon, with an open stage appearance equipped with cannons.

Why does Keane know this? Simply because Nero wanted to tell him. She was very thrilled to know she wouldn't have to experience anymore headaches. While she didn't know why her noble phantasm changed, she was still happy with how it looked even more beautiful. After showing it to Keane, he told her to not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. He didn't think that he would encounter anything that would actually require such a powerful weapon, as such he didn't really care about the change in the end.

What he did care about though, was another change. Due to no longer having migraines, she has been able to increase the time of her noble phantasm, and what Keane really cared about, her imperial privilege. Combined with the increase in time, she would also be able to gain experience from the skills during its activation. However, as Keane knows she loses focus easily, Nero will only be able to increase her abilities outside of imperial privilege, but probably not master. Still, it was better than completely forgetting it all.

The trio was now driving to Haneda Airport with Nero at the wheel. She was able to get her drivers license from Tobio and started to drive immediately. While driving a car was fun, she enjoyed driving a motorcycle more. However, as she was his bodyguard, she didn't get the opportunity to use one often. With her riding skill from imperial privilege, she was very talented when driving. When she started out though, she wanted to race fellow cars that were casually driving on the road. This made Keane think that he should sponsor her in a few Formula 1 races. For now, to avoid her trying to wreck other cars, he told her that in a few years she would be able to race all she wanted. He was mainly referring to future virtual reality racing games.

Normally, when a son of such a power clan would go out of the country, they would be accompanied by a numerous amount of bodyguards. The same would go for the drive to the airport. This was not the case for Keane though, as Nero was very insistent that she alone would be enough to protect him. Thus, it ended with Nero having to go up against most of the security on the estate and handily defeated them, while stating her perfection at her work. This only increased the Nero fan base (Nero's fanbase is compromised of both men and women with people's jobs on the estate having no connection to whether they join or not), while the men and women from the security team would later ask for some practice matches to increase their own skills. It also relieved Keane as he wanted the people in his company to stay beautiful.

After about ten or so minutes, they arrived at Haneda Airport. His father already prepared a private jet for them, so it would wait for them no matter how long they took. Walking through the terminal to the area for private jets, Nero excitedly glanced around at the numerous planes. Knowing what she was already going to say, Keane asked, "Do you want to fly one?"

"Umu! I saw them in some movies at the estate." While not guarding Keane, or singing to the employees, Nero also enjoyed watching movies. In the past she wrote her own plays, and while they did provide their own feel, she was entranced by the movies that could be seen on any screen in the world. This only provided her with another thing she wanted to do. When she asked about this to Keane, he said for her to write a script and if it was good he would provide her with the the necessary money to produce it. He also ended up telling her that he would make his own movie, turning it into a competition where the winner has the higher gross. After coming up with this, he thought of possibly an acting career in the future. As he was only 11 it was too early for him, so it would be something to possibly to do in the future.

Back to the conversation at hand Keane said, "Well, let's ask the pilot when we get there. He is being paid to do his job after all."

Nero nodded at his words and concluded the conversation with an umu. It was then that they arrived to where the jet was. The pilot, copilot, and attendant were outside waiting for their arrival. As the conditions were good, there wasn't any problem when waiting for them.

"Greetings Young Master, I am your pilot, Sasaki. I will ensure your safety while in the air. This is my copilot Tanaka, and the attendant's name is Moka." Sasaki bowed and gestured Tanaka and Moka to do the same.

""Greetings Young Master""

Keane smiled, but sighed inside as he knew that Nero wanted to fly the jet. Since it was the perfect time to allow her to and the fact that she would probably use force to fly it if not given permission, Keane asked the pilot, "While I am happy for your words, I would like to ask if you can allow my bodyguard here to fly it."

The trio were stunned by his words and while trying not to offend him, Sasaki asked, "Excuse me sir, but we were hired by your father to fly you to Nagoya. Does the Miss know how to pilot a plane?"

"You do not have to worry, I assure you that as a servant of my beautiful self, she is very talented. I will still need you incase something goes wrong and to help navigate, but that is all. Also you will all still receive the money you were promised, so you don't need to worry about that as well."

They were a little stupefied at the child's words, but considering that they were also coming along nothing bad should happen. Along with not wanting to offend Keane they could only agree with his words, even if he was a child. Thus, the pilot said, "Very well, however, if there is anything wrong, I will take control of the situation."

"Thank you for your corporation, Mr. Sasaki." With that they went onto the jet, Nero, Sasaki, and Tanaka in the cockpit; while Keane, Finna, and Moka in the passengers cabin.

The interior was very nice and clean. There was a comfy couch, a tv, as well as a wine cellar, but as he was underage he wouldn't touch it. Keane then looked to his side where Finna who had been silent till now, was looking at him, making him ask, "What is it?"

"Why would you let her fly the jet?" Finna was curious about his thoughts.

Keane felt a little weird about the question, but answered, "She will be working for me throughout my whole life, the least I can do is let her do what she wants when it's convenient enough. What? Did you think that since I am really handsome, I wouldn't give something in return? Even I know that my beauty alone isn't enough to make up for her service. You as well, if you asked I would try to fulfill whatever you wanted. After all you have been helping me out a lot." He was very sincere in his words to her. Finna had been teaching him and helping him improve through the system for the past ten years. Even if he saw her as a rival, he also saw her as an important companion.

Throughout his comment, Finna had a few different reactions. First, she understood why he allowed it. Considering her skills it wouldn't be that dangerous to let Nero fly the jet. Then she felt annoyed at his narcissistic tone mocking her. Finally it ended on her being a little happy with his words about fulfilling her wishes. Over the years she hadn't really asked for anything in return from him. As she is an angel, she didn't have anything she wanted from him and knew that even if she asked, Keane wouldn't simply change his personality. However, she made sure to keep this conversation in mind just incase there was a need down the road.

Currently in the cockpit Sasaki looked at Nero with a bit of concern and asked, "Are you sure you know what you are doing. If you are simply trying to show off I can fly the plane and tell the Young Master that you flew it." He tried to offer her a way out, but Nero didn't need it.

She looked at him with a happy expression, "I can pilot a jet! It is nothing, just adjust the plane according to altitude, not too different from the jet chariot I invented!"

Sasaki sighed and thought of taking over as soon as possible. As for Tanaka, he simply stayed in the back of the cockpit also waiting for Sasaki's signal. However, in the end it wasn't needed.

Nero activated her imperial privilege and began to start up the plane, then took off.

---

The flight took a little over an hour to get to Nagoya. There were no real problems with the fight and Nero seemed to be having fun as Keane could hear her voice from the cockpit. The jet soon landed safely and after coming to a stop the door opened up.

Finished with walking down the stairs, Keane took a pose and shouted, "Hellllllooooo Nagoya!!! Feel gratitude as the world's most handsome man has graced you with his presence!"

And like that Keane had landed in Nagoya.
