"Like those protagonists in hot-blooded manga who keep getting worn down until they can only keep breaking through their limits, eventually unlocking the 'Infinite Stamina' achievement and becoming a king?"
Kid sighed. "When you put it that way, I guess it's not impossible to accept. But I still feel like something's off..."
The trip was far too long, and Kid had not brought anything particularly entertaining. After thinking for a moment, he took advantage of no one watching this area and pressed two fingers together, drawing out a strand of Magic Power as thin as a hair.
This was all the Magic Power he had left after Mist Tengu had swept a wing at him yesterday.
Perhaps if he studied it during this boring journey, he might discover something else?
Kid pinched the thin strand of Magic Power, tying it into a Bow Tie one moment and twisting it into a cross the next. He had barely played with it twice when, suddenly, a cat paw silently reached out from beside him.
Right in front of him, the paw hooked that strand of Magic Power, pinned it down and dragged it away. Then the suddenly appearing cat casually put the Magic Power in its mouth. In an instant, the connection between Kid and that strand of Magic Power vanished.
Kid: "...?"
...Where had a cat come from on a plane? What was going on with this airport's security?!
He turned in surprise toward the cat.
The moment he had seen that snow-white paw, Kid had actually already had a suspicion.
Now, following the paw up to the pitch-black body, he recognized it at once. "You again?"
Kid: "..." This cat must have followed Jiang Xia aboard. Had it gotten bored after sneaking onto the plane and started wandering around?
