August 25th, six o'clock in the morning, just as dawn broke, Li Jing International Airport.
Underneath the slightly bluish sky stretched an endless runway, with a spaceplane standing still on it.
The plane was scheduled to take off in half an hour, its destination being Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland.
At this moment, Urushibara Osamu was sitting in a corner of the first-class cabin, leaning against the seatback, silently reading the Bible.
"Buzz buzz..."
The pocket of his tailcoat suddenly vibrated slightly, and a crow perched on his shoulder took wing and descended, diving into the pocket to pull out a phone.
The crow lifted its beak slowly, handing the phone to Urushibara Osamu. He shifted his gaze from the page and took a glance at the phone screen.
[Black Cocoon: Isn't this our dear Captain? What can I do for you?]
Urushibara Osamu looked at the message from Black Cocoon, complete with emoji, and slowly typed a response.
