"It looks like the trip shouldn't be delayed too much," Suzuki Jiroji let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the astronomical information that had just been updated. "As long as we can get to New Zealand on time, the whole observation program can be implemented to the maximum."

"yes," Okita nodded (the head of the Tokyo Observatory's observation team, last appeared in Chapter 440). "Fortunately, although there are so many things, the trip has basically not been delayed."

"yes, it's been an eventful time," Jiroyoshi Suzuki nodded with the same complicated expression. "I didn't expect so many things to happen along the way, but fortunately, these seem to be under control at the moment, and there will be no follow-up trouble. With a little restocking, we should be able to get back on our journey – maybe we'll be able to set sail again by today! ”

……

The door to the cargo hold of the airship.

"Are you still working so late?" A female employee stood at the door of the employee aisle in the cargo hold, looking at another female employee who was feeding food into the sterilizer in the cargo hold, and said with concern.

"Sister Masako?" The female employee looked at the female employee with a surprised expression. "...... Now"

"yes, it's eleven o'clock," Masako nodded. "It's time for me to be on duty, you go back and rest first."

"Hmm......" The female employee glanced at her watch and found that it was indeed eleven o'clock. Sister Namasako, please, it should be okay after inspecting all these goods. ”

"Well, leave it to me." Masako smiled very brightly. "You're scared a lot today, so go back and rest."

"Sister Masako, you're the one, right?" The female employee smiled. "Obviously, Sister Masako, your roommates are all infected, and you are the only one left to be scared, and it is actually you who need to rest the most."

If the person who visited the female employee's cabin here today, he would have recognized Masako as the female employee who had behaved most calmly during the entire Plague Oolong incident.

"I was born with a big heart," Masako shook her head. "Actually, I wasn't too worried at all, so I'm calm now."

Chatting like this, Masako soon watched the female employee leave through the staff passage - now, only Masako, the staff responsible for feeding the goods into the disinfection machine, was left in the entire cabin, and the other staff were all responsible for other work.

"Hmm-" Masako raised an eyebrow as she watched the female employee leave, then looked at a truckload of boxes outside the cargo hold.

For some reason, the corners of her mouth curled in a somewhat unsettling arc.

……

At 11:50 p.m., when many of the passengers who had gone to bed early had fallen asleep in bed, the Pearltree airship had completed all the resupply work and set off again.

"Have you already completed the lockdown?" Officer Nakamori whispered into the walkie-talkie.

"It's done," replied a policeman on the other end of the intercom who was guarding a hatch outside an airship with access to the airship. "I don't see any signs of anyone staying here."

After receiving several similar answers, Officer Nakamori took a deep breath. "Okay......

His gaze swept over the officers beside him.

"Check to see if there are people in those cabins that should theoretically be vacant," Officer Nakamori said. "If Kidd still wants to get involved with this airship, no matter how it is, the airship from Guam just now is the only possible way. To be sure, make sure Kidd doesn't get mixed up! As long as he mixes in, then there will definitely be one more person on the airship. Because the people in the staff cabins were familiar with each other, and the passengers were familiar with each other, it was impossible for Kidd to hide in these cabins, and the only places he could have landed were those that were uninhabited and not normally inspected. We're going to raid the cabins now to see if there's really a little thief slipping up. ”

……

Their examination was actually quite effective this time around – though it may not necessarily be positive.

“！？” Chiba looked at the hatch in surprise, as the hatch that had been locked now seemed to be opened from the outside. A few seconds later, Qian Yu saw the reason—the reason for the materialization.

"Are you ......" Officer Nakamori looked at Chiba with a bewildered face, and was also a little surprised. That kid called Tachibana, right? Isn't your room over there? ”

"Uh......" Qian Yu blinked a little embarrassedly. This one...... I just can't sleep, so I'm just coming here to sit......"

"Did you see any strange people?" Officer Nakamori frowned, but still didn't think too much about it, just asked casually.

"Nope!" Qian Yu immediately shook his head. "I don't see anyone with anything out of the ordinary."

"Is that so?" Officer Nakamori nodded thoughtfully. "Okay, but it's getting so late, so don't go to bed too late—or you'll not grow tall."

"Okay!" Qianyu nodded busily.

With a slightly subtle expression, Officer Nakamori closed the door, leaving Chiba alone in the cabin again.

"Whew-" Chiba let out a long breath, and then looked at a corner beside him—it was one of the dead corners of the room, and if you looked through the doorway, you couldn't see anything. "Why are you so nervous......"

At this time, a figure re-emerged from the blind corner. "It's nothing, it's just that I heard so much movement outside, so I was startled and thought something was going on."

With a somewhat resentful expression, Gray Yuan glared at Qian Yu, who had a rather helpless expression.

"Are you really being overshadowed by those previous things......" Qianyu sighed, crying and laughing. It's just a small probability, it's almost impossible to re-"

Words froze as the hatch was violently pushed open again.

And Officer Nakamori, who was murderous outside the hatch, had already shown a rather embarrassed expression at this time.

"It turned out to be that little girl......" Officer Nakamori kept staring at Gray Yuan, his expression was quite complicated. This ......"

"Officer, ......" Qian Yu inexplicably felt a feeling of being caught and raped at this time - although theoretically his relationship with Gray Yuan Ai was quite open, but being stared at like this by Officer Nakamori at this time made him feel quite uncomfortable. Anything else? ”

"No," Officer Nakamori shook his head immediately. "I just accidentally opened the wrong door, sorry - by the way, you can lock the door, it's safer."

When Officer Nakamori said this, Gray Yuan Ai had already lowered his head, hiding his face under his hair, and his hand on the bed was just clutching the sheets.
