“Eh...? Isn’t that, the launch site for helicopters?”
Sinon muttered with a shocked expression, and Lyfa immediately
changed her expression.
“A helicopter!? ...That means... onii-chan was taken somewhere
further away... Is that it?”
“But... Wait.”
Asuna continued to try and clear the confusion in her mind as she
said,
“Yui-chan, the signal was completely cut off after it was sent from
Shinkiba, right?”
“Yes...”
At this moment, for the first time, the pixie Yui’s adorable face
was showing a melancholic look.
“There’s no sign of papa’s monitor device connected to any of the
terminal stations in the whole of Japan.”
“In that case... After he was taken in the helicopter from Shinkiba,
he landed in some deep mountain where the electric signals of the
terminal can’t reach... Or the wilderness or something like that, right?”
Sinon shook her head to deny Lyfa’s words.
“Even if it landed somewhere, there has to be some facility as the
destination. They could first enter an area with the most advanced
electronic interference then interchange at that point...”
“What if it’s not in Japan... but outside...”
No one could immediately give an answer to Asuna’s trembling
voice.
