"Thank you for a boarding Liyue Airline. Please remember to take your personal belongings and safety exit the plane." The speaker repeats, "thank agains for a boarding Liyue Airline, we'll see you next time."

[ ... ]

"Kuni~~ we're almost home!" Ei shouted in excitement, skipping as if she's a kid.

"I'm just glad our cover wasn't blown." I sighed. "Why did we take a public plane again? Oh right, it was because of you." I mocked my sister who suddenly stopped jumping before my eyes as we both stopped inside the airport to our other belongings.

"Don't be so mean. You know how boring riding a private plane can be." She made an annoyed face at me.

After a few checks here and there awhile also almost getting recognized, we finally arrived safely instead Ritou.

"Wait here. I need to talk to our manger so we can get a hotel to stay at." She took out her phone and dialed her manger's number.

I stood there and looked around for a few minutes until my sister was done with her phone call.

"Alright. She said we can't go to Inazuma city until a week later since they still haven't changed the rule for 'visitors' or whatever." Ei shook her head in disbelief.

"Did she book us a hotel?" I asked, knowing the answer is already 'yes'.

"Yeah she did. Follow me."

Ei waved to a Ferrari, the newest model too, and we both got in.

"Hey Scaramouche." The Fox Lady in the back seat waved to me.

As I was about to reply, my sister started getting really defensive. "Hey!! I'm here you know?!"

"Shh I know." She laughed as we got our seatbelts in. "Driver! Start the car!"

The driver started the car and we both arrived at the hotel after about ten minutes.

"Woah.." I looked out the window, "it looks fancy."

"Yep!!" Yae said, "now let's go in."

We got out of the car and the driver drove off.

I followed behind Ei and Yae as they walked into the hotel. The workers there checked us in and we got our room: 1002.

"Alright." Yae walked us to a nearby elevator, "we're going up to floor 10."

We entered the elevator and arrived at our room.

"Kuni you can go out, Yae and I are going to get unpack everything. Here's $3000, now leave us alone." Ei told me and handed me a card key and the money.

"Thanks." I left while knowing that unpacking is not the only thing they're going to do. Whatever, they are adults.

It was nighttime by the time I came out. The moon shining bright as 9 o'clock soon hit.

Nothing really amused me as I walked throughout the streets. Until..

Until I found a cat.

Its fur is snowy white. And it looked scared.

I bent down. "Hey little guy, are you lost?"

"Meoww..."

"Sorry i don't speak cat language." I chucked lightly, "I wish I could keep you, but I don't want to keep your owner waiting."

"Tama!! Where are you?!" A worried voice came in the other end of the empty street.

"There you are!" The person walked up to the cat, "Do you know how worried I was?! Please don't do that again." The person looked at me, "thanks for finding him—" he stared at me anxiously as I stared back.

My eyes met his shocked red ones.
