Episode 50 - Visiting My Mother in Germany, Part 1: Departure to Germany

The Night Before Departure: Ryoko's Total-Control Packing

“We're going to Germany tomorrow!”

Shota was on the sofa, his suitcase wide open as he packed one item after another. It was his first trip abroad that wasn’t for work, and he felt like he needed everything. He had gathered every “useful travel gadget” he’d found in guidebooks and started stuffing in extra clothes.

“I’ll need a thick jacket for the cold… Oh, maybe this shirt would be better…”

“How many days do you think this trip is, Shota-kun?”

Ryoko crossed her arms, staring at him in disbelief. His suitcase was already bursting at the seams and still wouldn’t close.

“What? But it’s a foreign country! It’d be a disaster if I forgot something…”

“That doesn’t mean you have to cram everything in. Let me see.”

Ryoko waved her hand, and with a flick of telekinesis, she opened Shota’s suitcase. In mere seconds, she picked out the unnecessary items with precision and replaced them with compact essentials she had prepared.

“There. Perfect. Nothing wasted, and everything you’ll need.”

“…You packed everything for me.”

Shota looked a little pouty, but as he admired the now tidy and efficient suitcase, he couldn’t help but be impressed by Ryoko’s skill.

“Honestly, I don’t know what you’d do without me.”

She giggled and gently patted Shota’s head.

“Hehe… I’m counting on you, Ryoko-senpai.”

Day of Departure: Excited Shota at Haneda Airport

As they arrived at the airport, Shota was already buzzing with excitement.

“This really feels like an overseas trip! I should get a souvenir for Masako-san!”

“Tokyo Banana will do.”

“Wait, really? That’s enough?”

“Foreigners often like the simple stuff from Japan. Plus, it’s easy to carry.”

“Got it… You really know your stuff, Ryoko-senpai!”

In the Air: Shota Tries English with the Flight Attendant (Sort of)

Once on the plane, Shota was fully immersed in the experience. Ryoko took the window seat, and Shota sat on the aisle. Soon, it was mealtime, and a beautiful flight attendant approached with a warm smile.

“Beef or chicken?”

Shota tensed up.

“Pardon me?”

The attendant smiled again.

“ビーフ？チキン？”

“B-beef, please…!”

“Okay, beef. Enjoy!”

As she handed over the tray, Shota gave a small fist pump of pride.

“She understood me!”

Ryoko watched silently.

“Alright, switch.”

“Huh?”

“I’m taking the aisle seat.”

“But we just started eating…”

“No buts.”

Without another word, Ryoko swapped seats with Shota. He chuckled, sensing the slight tinge of jealousy in her tone.

Mid-Flight Power Use: A Sleep-Inducing Ability

After the meal, the cabin lights dimmed.

“We’ve got a long flight ahead. We should try to get some sleep.”

“I dunno… It’s kinda noisy. I’m not sure I can.”

“Don’t worry… You’ll sleep like a baby.”

Ryoko gently held Shota’s hand and closed her eyes. Soon, the cabin’s background noise faded as nearby passengers slipped into deep sleep, guided into a relaxed state by Ryoko’s hormone manipulation.

Shota, feeling the warmth of her hand, slowly closed his eyes as well.

“Good night, Shota-kun.”

Arrival in Munich: Setting Foot in Germany

After the long flight, they finally arrived in Munich.

“Whoa, Germany!”

“We’re still in the airport, you know.”

They cleared immigration and headed to central Munich via the S-Bahn (subway).

Fun in Munich

After a short rest at the hotel, Ryoko suggested, “Since we’re in Munich, let’s go have some authentic beer!” She led Shota to the historic beer hall Hofbräuhaus.

Inside, the large wooden tables and benches buzzed with energy. A live band played cheerful tunes, and locals and tourists clinked massive mugs together.

“So this is Hofbräuhaus! It's so lively!”

“Munich’s beer culture is really impressive. This place has over 400 years of history—it used to be for Bavarian royalty only.”

“Wow, I didn’t know it was such a prestigious place!”

“And all German beers are brewed under the ‘Beer Purity Law.’ It’s been around for over 500 years and only allows four ingredients: water, malt, hops, and yeast.”

“Simple ingredients, but still such amazing flavor!”

“Exactly. Oh, and the standard size here is one-liter mugs. Don’t let your guard down!”

Just then, a waitress in a traditional Dirndl outfit arrived, carrying huge mugs. She wore a white blouse, corset-style dress, and a plunging neckline typical of German fashion.

“Bitte schön!”

“Whoa! This looks just like something out of a movie!” Shota was thrilled.

But the moment his gaze drifted toward the waitress’s chest, Ryoko smiled sweetly.

“Having trouble knowing where to look? Well then—”

She casually moved her fingers, activating her power.

“Huh?”

When Shota tried to lift his mug, his peripheral vision showed only Ryoko’s cleavage.

“Something’s weird… I can’t focus on the beer!”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

“My central vision is completely filled with your chest, Senpai…”

“Sounds like the perfect view, right?”

“Well, yes, it’s amazing—but it’s making it really hard to drink!”

“Fufu. That’s what you get for ogling someone else’s chest.”

Shota, on the verge of tears, protested that she went too far, but Ryoko just took a sip of her beer, amused.

“Well, we’re in Germany—gotta enjoy it to the fullest!”

Watching Shota struggle to drink his beer, Ryoko had a sudden thought.

(…You know, these German outfits are really cute.)

She made a silent vow:

(Before we head home, I’m definitely getting a Dirndl for Oktoberfest…!)
