Detained!

In the airport of a certain country...

"Uh... You can't bring that onto the plane, miss... It's against the regulations..."

A rather young airport security officer approached a pair of young ladies, dressing in clothes suitable for travelling. One of them seems like a middle school girl going on a field trip, while the other lady looks like her big sister. Even without what they were carrying, they would've caught a lot of attention from the passersby because of their stunning figures and appearance. However...

"Hm? I can't bring this onto the plane?", said the younger sister while clutching the item the security officer seemed to be pointing at.

"P-Put your hands down, miss! It's bad for my heart!"

"Huh? Isn't it just a katana?"

The small beauty, Mio, tilted her head to the side while questioning the security officer.

"S-Sharp objects a-aren't allowed on the plane, miss. Please understand!"

"Come on~ It's just a normal katana, you know? Here, look.", Mio said that as she unsheathed the katana.

"See? Isn't it just a normal katana?"

Seeing that convincing the younger sister is hopeless, the young security officer turned towards the 'older sister' for help.

"M-Miss! Won't you help me convince your younger sister?", he pleaded to the older sister.

"Huh? Why can't she bring her katana onto the plane? Isn't it fine?"

"It's totally not fine, miss!"

"So... can I bring 'this' onto the plane?"

The older sister said that as she brought out something from her bag. Once he saw the object, though, he immediately backed away from the older sister.

"That's literally a BOMB miss! You can definitely not bring that onto the plane!!!"

"Huh? It's not a sharp object, though?"

"IT'S EVEN WORSE, MISS!"

Because of the ruckus they caused, the two 'sisters' were detained by the airport security officers before they were released after a while.

A few years later, there was a story passed along the airport security officers.

It was said that there once was a pair of sisters who brought out dangerous items one after another in the detainment office, causing the security officer on duty on that particular day to almost died because of shock.

It was also said that on the day after the security officer faced the incident, he quitted his job in a fluster...

************

"Come on, Onii-chan! Let's buy a ticket!"

An enthusiastic little girl skipped in front of her brother excitedly, dragging him to the counter where they sell long-distance bus tickets.

"Alright, Charlotte... I'm coming..."

The brother, on the other hand, was dead exhausted. Although he was quite exhausted, he tried to muster up his remaining strength to catch up with his enthusiastic little sister in order not to let her down.

Once they both reached the counter, Yuuji, who learned his lesson, used Google Translate to transmit his intent to buy a bus ticket to Korat for him and his little sister.

Just after a few moments, they were able to book a bus heading outwards to Korat. The only problem was, however...

"Nee, Onii-chan. Why is the trip so long?"

"Bear with it, Charlotte. This way of travelling is quite cheap, you know?"

Although the bus tickets were indeed cheap, the travel time is quite great. But hey, at least we can save money, right?

************

While waiting for the bus, Charlotte got bored and thus decided to watch some animes with me.

With that, time flew by pretty fast, and we eventually boarded the bus.

Once the bus started moving, Charlotte, who was sitting beside the window, kept pointing things for me to look at.

"Onii-chan, Onii-chan! Look at that building! It's so weird!!!"

"Haha! It truly is, Charlotte."

I watched my cute little sister looking outside the window in great interest. It seemed as if she would never get tired. However, I forgot one important fact about kids.

"Nee, Onii-chan..."

"Hm?"

"I'm bored already!!!"

They get bored easily.

"Ma~ We're still in Bangkok, after all. Everything would undoubtedly be the same, right?"

"Mou!!!"

With nothing to do, she kept watching the sceneries change through the window. As time went by, she eventually got sleepy.

"Onii-chan..."

"Hm?"

"I'm sleepy..."

"Wait a minute, Charlotte."

Since we're sitting on seats directly next to each other, I could adjust my posture a little and allow her to lie her head on my lap.

"Un~ Thank you, Onii-chan..."

She said that as she gradually lost consciousness.

Before I also got to sleep, I looked at her sleeping face and thought:

"Sigh... I wish that this moment would continue on forever..."
