"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Chennai International Airport Terminal 4. The local time is 4 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Zurich. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle(s) clear until we are parked at the gate. The Captain will then turn off the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign, indicating it is safe to stand. Please use caution when opening the overhead compartments and removing items, since articles may have shifted during flight."

As the announcement rang loudly throughout the entire plane, Sheva groaned slightly, trying to stretch his stiff body. Even though at this point, he was used to this mode of transportation, that didn't mean the boy enjoyed getting trapped in this iron bird without being able to see solid ground for more than 10 hours. Fortunately, the long journey was finally over, so he could breathe better once he left the plane.

It was only one hour past midnight, yet somehow, Chennai International Airport was pretty busy at this time. People could be seen strolling around the airport, some with the help of the local porter carrying their luggage. It was completely different compared to Zurich or even Reykjavik. No, the chaotic vibe here resembled Jakarta a lot, and Sheva didn't really know what to think about it.

"Well, I had never expected that I would see Jakarta again before I went back to Jakarta for real." He said with a wry tone.

"Oh, don't be such a spoilsport." Anna slapped his shoulder playfully while also dragging her luggage with her other hand. "Even though I love Europe, I don't mind the chaotic life like this. I mean, that is one of the reasons why people love Jakarta, right?"

Well… Sheva didn't know about that. Of course, Anna would enjoy this chaotic life. She herself lived in a good neighborhood, so experiencing one or two thrilling and chaotic moments was something she desired. However, Sheva, who lived in such a cramped neighborhood and had quite a lot of experience fighting chaotic situations, had a different thought. If anything, he would want to bring his mother and get away from his neighborhood as quickly as possible.

It was like how rich people who lived in a secluded area always yearned for an adventure, going for something stupid like street racing or any other extreme sports, while the poor people who had been struggling just to survive for another day only yearned for a peaceful night to sleep.

Still, he wouldn't say that out loud here. No, instead of doing that, the boy followed Anna, Bagas, and Medina, who were searching for the other group that came from Indonesia. Yeah, Master Susanto and the others also took off yesterday, and if nothing went wrong, they should land three hours before them.

"Ah! Here they are!" Bagas sighed in relief when he saw a group of people wearing bright red jackets gathered on one corner of the airport.

Coincidentally enough, one of the people from that group also noticed Bagas and the others came, and before anyone could greet each other, a little hellion suddenly jumped with the energy of a golden retriever, slamming herself into Anna without any reservation.

"Big Sis! You are here!" Claudia cried, not even caring how loud she was or how she shocked Anna with her move. "I miss you so much! I am so jealous! You even have a week's holiday in Europe! Can you bring me along when you do that again in the future? Also, mom and dad said to call them later! They are probably worrying about you. Oh, I brought your favorite snacks here! I am sure you miss them, right?"

Not just Anna, but even Sheva, next to them, were also dazed by the barrage of questions that Claudia shot here. Coupled with the fact that they had just landed and the jetlag really hit them hard, everything added up together, giving everyone a pretty massive headache straight away.

"Ugh… Ia, a little bit calmer, please…" Sheva groaned weakly. "Why are you so energetic this late? Should a girl like you sleep already? It wouldn't be good for your skin, you know?"

"You are a boy, what do you know about what is good for skin?" Claudia turned around and looked at him in disgust. "Also, don't try to act buddy-buddy with me! Don't think that you can steal my sister from me, okay?" She put her body in front of her sister protectively, looking at Sheva with a provoking look.

"I—Ia! Why do you say that?!" Just as expected, Anna's face turned red immediately, getting flustered at any sign of teasing about this.

Sheva could only rub the back of his head awkwardly before finally leaving the siblings alone. As he turned around, the boy could see Medina chatting with Irene and Laysa, while Bagas was waving his hand at him. There, Sheva recognized a familiar figure standing next to his best friend, and it would be a lie if he said he wasn't surprised here.

"Sarah? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Of course, I am going to join the fun!" The girl had her eyes shining while also encircling her arm around Bagas's like an octopus. "This is the biggest event in the chess world this year, right? To hype up the event more, Master Irfan hired me as the on-the-spot host for a live report and a live interview after the game was done. So, you better play well, okay?"

"Don't say that, Honey. If anything, this will make his performance worse." Bagas snickered, knowing that Sheva had an allergy to standing in front of a camera.

"Haha, very funny, Gas." Sheva just rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Anyway, is that really the reason, or do you just want to spend more time together with Bagas?"

"Ah! You catch me here!"

They chatted with each other for a while before Sheva left those two alone, catching up with Master Susanto and the other players there. They stayed for quite a while, wandering aimlessly at the airport without even knowing why they were still there. Well, at least that was the case for Sheva, as the others seemed to be pretty calm here.

Before he could even ask, though, Master Susanto suddenly checked his phone and said, "Well, the administration job is done already. Let's go, everyone! We need to have a little rest before the busy day tomorrow!"
