Chapter 54: The Woman Chasing a Plane

"Originally, it wouldn't have been an issue to fix it, but with the added enchantments, those effects seem to be depleting the extra durability I applied. The rain yesterday reverted the car back to its original state. Even if I were to repair it now, it would inevitably break down again after some time," Senju explained, looking perplexed.

"In other words, your 'magic' also has a time limit. Even with repairs, it will keep deteriorating in the future," Chito lamented, a tinge of disappointment in her voice. "It seems the safeguards and the fuel deficiency are taking a toll on the car. I was hoping it would get easier going forward, but now I'm feeling a little disheartened."

"I apologize; I didn't anticipate this turn of events. Without the enchantment, repairing the durability would have been far simpler."

"True, but it'll just break down once more later. It's best to fix it now. Otherwise, it could be quite troublesome if it breaks down during an emergency."

"That's true, but Chito, can you fix it?"

"Let me see, Senju, take out all the repair tools you found before."

Senju put aside a pile of maintenance tools that he had packed before. Yuuri was also watching, and the two dismantled the car there.

"Then will the car be protected from wind and rain in the future? Will we still have to look for fuel?"

"Well, after the repair is completed, I can increase the durability and the above effect will be restored, but the fuel tank still needs to be filled with fuel."

Senju also sighed a little, and the car now completely changed to what it was a few days ago. The old dust and scratches appeared again.

"Really, then it will be no problem after repairing it. I'm going to take a rest." Yuuri ran to a nearby table and ate food there.

"No, it can't be repaired." After an unknown amount of time, Chito still couldn't repair the car. "It's so hopeless. It must be repaired now."

"Hmph, despair—" Yuuri, lying on the platform, began to hum a tune with a metal bar in her mouth.

"Yuu, don't just sit there holding the piece of metal in your mouth and not working. Come here and help." Chito looked at Yuuri who was lying very leisurely on the side, urging Yuuri to lend a hand.

"Oh, come on, doesn't Chii-chan have Senju for help?" Yuuri shifted her position and glanced at the two of them. "You shouldn't dwell too much on despair."

"Why are you always so optimistic?" Chito sighed, but then gave up the idea of ​​asking her to help. "Well, if I ask Yuu to help, she'll just end up breaking things."

Taking a look at the two halves of the gear clutched by Chito, Senju pondered, "Can this truly be repaired?" The two pieces were initially one, but they appeared unusable now.

"This is turning into a major issue. Without fixing the car, let alone reaching the top floor, we won't be able to travel anywhere," Chito admitted, her spirits dampened. A pile of gears, large and small, lay beside her, but none seemed suitable for the task.

"That's not a problem. Even if we can't travel, we still have Senju, right?" Yuuri sat up, brushing off Chito's concerns.

"Even so, I still feel helpless," Chito conceded, abandoning the repair attempts and resting against the car.

"Everyone, look over there!" Yuuri exclaimed, as if she had stumbled upon something. "Is that an airplane?"

Chito and Senju gazed upwards and spotted a figure soaring before them. "Ah, there's someone up there."

"Huh? Why is there a plane in the sky?"

"Where? Oh, there really is something in the sky."

"Hey, there's someone up there!"

"I just said that."

The two had a hurried conversation, and then they saw the person in the sky flying for a while and then crash down, "Ah, they fell down."

"Is he dead?" Yuuri was a little confused.

"No, no, no, let's go take a look first," Chito suggested, and then the three of them approached, and Yuuri raised her gun and got ready.

After the three came to the side of this person, the other person suddenly sat up.

It turned out to be a woman with a ponytail and glasses, who looked to be in her twenties.

"It was successful." After she sat up, she stared blankly at the sky. "It flew smoothly."

The people next to her were confused for a while, then watched her body tilt to the side, but immediately returned to the original position, took out a telescope, looked at it, and then wrote on a piece of paper on the ground, "Okay, very good."

The three people next to her had been watching her performance.

After musing for a moment, she suddenly realized there was someone beside her. "Wow, you startled me. When did you arrive?"

"My name is Chito."

"My name is Yuuri."

"My name is Senju," the three of them simultaneously introduced themselves. Then Yuuri and Chito formed a heart shape, "Together we are—"

However, Chito disregarded her and remarked, "The success you mentioned is…"

"That's right," she replied, gazing up at the plane vanishing into the distance.

"It's definitely that plane," Chito acknowledged, though she had already figured it out, she still appeared somewhat astonished.

"I accomplished it myself," she explained to the three of them, yet they remained astounded. "I did it all by myself!"

"Then can you help us repair our car?" Chito asked anxiously.

"It should be okay," the other person said in a low voice after she finished speaking, "I'm lucky to still be able to meet people now."

The other party followed Chito and the other two to the car.

Examining it closely, she stated with conviction, "Ah, I see. The tracked car is broken, but with this, it can be fixed."

"Oh, is that so?" Chito was slightly taken aback, observing the heap of materials around her, and sighed, "I pulled so many things. No wonder it broke down."

"No, no, no, Senju is holding all of these," Yuuri protested, and then Senju stored the car and the various items surrounding it into his inventory. "Just like that, carry it."

"Wow, you startled me once more. How did you manage that?!"

The person's initially plain face contorted in astonishment but soon reverted to its usual stoic expression.

"Ahem, I can assist you in fixing the car, but in return, I require your assistance with something."

"Okay," Chito agreed, and the three of them followed her forward.

After walking for a while, they came to the outside of the city, where there was a wide platform.

"Now, where are we going?" Yuuri looked around and found that there were no buildings.

"We'll be there soon," the other party stopped in front of an iron cabinet, "come closer to this way."

"By the way, we haven't asked for your name yet."

"Mine?" After the person worked on the console for a moment, the ground shook abruptly, and then began to slowly descend. "Ishii."
