Chapter 360
The captain shouted excitedly.
"Quick, prepare for landing. Oh no, the landing gear won't come down! Go ask Lord Akaso quickly."
The flight attendant ran out and ran back after a while.
"Lord Akaso said, no problem, land directly."
The captain gritted his teeth and pushed the control stick down.
Staring at the sparse lights of the airport, as he got closer and closer to the ground, the data in his mind became more detailed and complex, even wind force was mixed in.
Watching the countdown start from one minute, the cockpit finally sounded a report: "50..."
The captain hurriedly pulled up the nose.
"30... 20... 10..."
Thump, thump, thump.
The captain felt his brain couldn't keep up.
The plane seemed to have a spring installed, rising and falling on the ground, but the amplitude was not large, not even as bad as the turbulence in the air.
The ground staff at the airport all opened their mouths wide, looking at the runway in front of them.
They simply couldn't believe their eyes.
Under the huge plane, it seemed like a piece of cotton candy was stuck, supporting the plane as it rubbed against the ground, just like a maglev train.
Hakodate Airport Tower, a group of people stared dumbfounded at the plane that had slowed down and stopped on the runway, as if they had forgotten their work, until the sound of fire truck sirens rang out, and they re-established contact with the silent flight.
"Flight 865, this is the tower, do you copy?"
"This is Flight 865, no casualties."
The captain was a bit weak and panted as he connected to the noisy radio.
The passengers in the cabin all applauded, for the captain and the flight attendants, and also for the powerful Onmyoji Akaso Kaze.
It was still raining in Hakodate. A quarter of an hour later, the rescued passengers were temporarily gathered by the side of the airport to hide from the rain.
Staff members were busy running around, preparing hot water and towels, because there were many children, making the scene a bit noisy.
Because the Hakodate side was well-prepared, the passengers on the plane were successively disembarked with the assistance of firefighters. Only a small number of people with minor injuries or discomfort were taken onto fire trucks.
When there was no one left on the plane, Akaso Kaze waved his hand.
A cloud of mist emerged from under the plane, shook its form, and turned into a giant Mist Tengu.
In full view of everyone, it flew into the high sky.
Everyone cheered.
The next day, newspapers, magazines, and television across the country all reported this incident.
The words of gratitude from the surviving passengers to Lord Onmyoji were played repeatedly on television.
"Lord Onmyoji is truly too powerful."
"He is the Superman of our country!"
"He is simply the deity of the Heisei era!"
Nagasaki, Huis Ten Bosch.
This is a resort that recreates the streetscape of medieval Europe, with theaters, shops, restaurants, and hotels.
Because it obtained building permits from the royal family, it even recreated the Dutch Queen’s palace, "Huis Ten Bosch Palace," hence the name "Huis Ten Bosch."
Akaso Kaze came because of a commission, but he planned to look around first.
Entering the resort area, there were tourists everywhere.
The Dutch-style buildings looked as if they had left Japan. Not only various castles, but also iconic Dutch windmills could be seen.
Passing through the castle surrounded by a moat, there was a music box fantasy museum and a glass museum.
Akaso Kaze was admiring in front of the display cabinet, and in front of him were very beautiful glass products...
"It’s 17th-century decorative glass. I didn't expect there to be glass that long ago."
A long-haired girl next to him was discussing with an old lady.
Akaso Kaze smiled and said from the side: "Actually, it is said that Egypt began using glass to create decorations as early as 3000 BC. By the Roman Empire era, the technique of mouth-blown glass was invented..."
"How do you know so clearly?" The old lady looked at Akaso Kaze and asked with some doubt: "These are all obscure facts."
Akaso Kaze smiled slightly.
He was directly using magic to call upon the knowledge of the docent.
The three of them toured the exhibition hall together. Everywhere they went, Akaso Kaze could explain the origin and characteristics of the exhibits in great detail.
The old lady was convinced by Akaso Kaze’s erudition and said politely:
"To tell you the truth, I also like glass very much and even opened a glass workshop in the city. How about this, how about we have dinner together tonight? I also want to hear more about Otaru glass."
Although he had a pleasant conversation with this old lady, he still had to meet the client.
Akaso Kaze was planning to politely decline, but the long-haired woman next to him said: "We are from the Oga family. My name is Oga Miwa, and this is my grandmother."
She looked at Akaso Kaze with a faint arrogance on her face.
The Oga family?
Isn't that the client? What a coincidence.
Akaso Kaze nodded.
"Then I will impose. My surname... never mind, you can call me Mr. Kaze."
The old lady looked at Akaso Kaze strangely, but didn't ask further.
Akaso Kaze not stating his surname had his own considerations. The Oga family’s commission was a bit troublesome, and he planned to wait and see.
Hotel Okura, the brightly lit Huis Ten Bosch at night was even more charming, with scenery like the water city of Venice.
In the hotel banquet hall, there was a long table in the middle of the luxurious restaurant with a fireplace, covered with tableware and candlesticks.
Several people took their seats, and Oga Miwa introduced with a smile: "This is Mr. Kaze. He has a lot of research on glass products, so Grandmother invited him to dine with us."
A young man quickly said: "My name is Oga Shinya, and this is my fiancée."
The short-haired girl next to him, wearing light green clothes, bowed slightly and said: "My name is Katori Akane, please treat me well."
"My surname is Oga, and this is my wife." Oga Shinya’s father continued, "Because my son Shinya is getting married tomorrow, the whole family is staying at this hotel today. We really welcome you."
Akaso Kaze nodded and greeted them, "Mrs. Myo invited me to the banquet. Since I have nothing to do, I came to join in the fun."
A middle-aged man with a square face pursed his lips and said, "It’s better to have more people. If there are too few people attending, it feels cold and lonely. As far as I know, no one from the bride’s side will come today."
Katori Akane lowered her head slightly upon hearing this.
Oga Miwa introduced to Akaso Kaze that this middle-aged man was Ikeda Hideyu, Oga Shinya’s uncle, who was in charge of the Oga Bank’s business.
"Alright, say less in front of guests." The old lady interrupted.
She looked at her children and grandchildren sitting there and couldn't help but sigh.
"I have a hard life. I still haven't found a successor I can trust, so I have to keep working. Lord Akaso is coming tomorrow. Granddaughter, you must seize the opportunity."
"Okay, Grandmother. I will definitely be able to do it." Oga Miwa smiled.
Ikeda Hideyu’s face turned gloomy upon hearing this.
He deliberately looked at Akaso Kaze and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect Shinya to get married first. Miwa, you’ve been beaten to the punch by your younger brother! You must perform well tomorrow. I heard Lord Akaso has very high standards."
The old lady always had a smile on her face, as if she hadn't heard the cold sarcasm among her family members. She continued to look at Akaso Kaze kindly: "By the way, Mr. Kaze, if you have time, come and attend Shinya’s wedding ceremony tomorrow."
For some reason, the old lady always had a feeling that this young man had an extraordinary bearing, making people involuntarily feel respect.
Such a person, if one could be on good terms with him, that would be best, and even if not, one must absolutely not offend him.
Akaso Kaze was a bit tempted.
This was a good opportunity to understand the inside story.
"Mr. Kaze, we all very much welcome you to attend the ceremony."
Seeing the old lady’s expression, the Oga family members all enthusiastically persuaded him.
Akaso Kaze smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will attend on time tomorrow."
The old lady smiled, "Then I will thank you in advance."
Katori Akane seemed to have something on her mind, pursing her lips and lowering her head without speaking.
At this time, Oga Shinya’s mother suddenly placed a ring box in front of Katori Akane.
"Akane, wear this during the wedding ceremony tomorrow."
"Eh?" Katori Akane opened the box and was surprised by the gorgeous pink ring inside.
"This is the ring passed down to the wife of the head of the Oga family for every generation." The noblewoman explained gently.
