With a strong pushback, the plane's speed on the runway increased rapidly, then it lifted off the ground and ascended sharply, quickly passing through the high altitude and entering the cruising stratosphere.
During the takeoff, everyone looked out the window, watching their living place gradually shrink, and a strange feeling surged in Hoshino Sora's heart.
He had never been on a plane in his previous life. So, this is what it feels like to be in the sky!
He would introduce some flying species to the Gourmet Manor when he got back. Then he could enjoy the fun of flying anytime, anywhere, and maybe even unlock the aerial mode.
His mind was full of thoughts, but his face showed no expression. He just reached out and grabbed Tadokoro Megumi and Shinohiru Shiina's small hands, playing with them in his palm, pinching and rubbing them from time to time, their fingers intertwined.
Halfway through the journey, drowsiness swept over them. Tadokoro Megumi and Shinohiru Shiina each rested on one of Hoshino Sora's shoulders, their eyes slightly closed, and fell asleep on him.
When he opened his eyes again, the plane had already begun its descent. The scenery of Beijing, China, appeared outside the window, and Hoshino Sora's face also showed an excited expression.
Finally arrived! This familiar yet not entirely familiar place, China's most luxurious metropolis.
What was the difference between the China in the anime world and the China in his impression?
Soon, the plane landed, and Hoshino Sora and the others left through the exit, silently following behind Dragon BuFan and the others. Perhaps they weren't in high spirits right after getting off the plane, as the group tacitly remained silent.
As soon as they exited the airport, a bus stopped at the entrance.
Everyone put their luggage in the bottom of the bus, then boarded one by one. Hoshino Sora occupied the last row, with Eri Nai Nakiri on his left arm and Hisako Arato on his right.
He had both the master and the servant under his control.
The vehicle moved at a steady speed. After a brief silence, conversations gradually began to emerge on the bus.
"Ah, I'm finally back!"
Lin Yidao stretched vigorously and shouted with a relieved expression. Looking through the window at the familiar architectural style of the streets, the young man felt a sense of ease in his heart. This was where he belonged!
"Indeed, but Neon is also quite good, at least the hot springs are very comfortable, and there are so many types!"
"The Summer Festival was also great. I've always wanted to experience it. There were so many people, and all sorts of interesting activities, but unfortunately, it only lasted two days."
Mo Huang's voice carried a hint of excitement, clearly very satisfied with the hot spring inns in Neon. Feng Xuanya also chimed in, saying she had a lot of fun at the Summer Festival two days prior.
"But the cuisine is much worse. We went out to play, but we still had to prepare our own lunch and dinner. The limitations of Neon cuisine are still too great; it's difficult to make truly delicious food."
"After all, it originated from Chinese cuisine, but they are unwilling to admit it. They just blindly research unorthodox methods. Although they have produced many delicacies, there is more dross."
Lin Yidao and Mo Huang conversed, one asking and one answering. It was clear that during this period, they had also eaten many dishes in Neon, all from very famous restaurants, but very few places satisfied them.
Most of them were overrated establishments.
"I'm treating tonight! I'll take you to the most high-end restaurant at Oriental Academy for a feast! Don't be quick to refuse; the cuisine there will absolutely exceed your expectations."
Seeing Hoshino Sora and the others looking disinterested, and remembering that Mr. Li wanted them to get closer, Mo Lang proactively approached Hoshino Sora, speaking with a hearty smile.
"Alright, then we'll respectfully accept."
Hearing Mo Lang's words, Hoshino Sora nodded slightly. He hadn't intended to refuse anyway; taking this opportunity to learn about top-tier local Chinese cuisine wasn't a bad idea.
"However, our appetites are a bit large; we're considered big eaters here in Neon. We might end up costing Brother Mo a lot."
At this point, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He said this to give him a heads-up; the prices of top-tier cuisine are not low, and the portions are not large.
It would be impossible for them to eat their fill and enjoy themselves without him spending a lot!
