Chapter 89: Skyward Surprises

The morning after their Venetian adventure unfolded with a delicate serenity. Ryuk, with a heart full of gratitude, bid farewell to Elina's parents, expressing his appreciation for the warmth they had shared during their stay. The promise of another chapter awaited, and as Ryuk stepped onto the airplane bound for home, a sense of contentment settled within him.

While in transit, Ryuk decided to take a moment to catch up on the happenings in the digital realm. Little did he anticipate the whirlwind awaiting him on his laptop. As Jarvis masterfully managed the vlog uploads, Ryuk opened his device, and to his sheer astonishment, his channel was ablaze with views.

A spontaneous eruption of joy escaped Ryuk's lips, a resounding cheer that echoed through the airplane cabin. Immediately aware of the eyes turning in his direction, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment. In that moment of unbridled elation, Ryuk had unintentionally serenaded the entire flight.

As the plane cruised through the clouds, Ryuk's attention shifted from the soaring altitude to the skyrocketing views on his YouTube channel. The numbers were climbing at an unprecedented pace, a testament to the resonance of their Venetian escapade. Adventure vlogs, it seemed, had become the key to the hearts of his digital audience.

With the realization that their shared adventures had struck a chord, Ryuk pondered the peculiar charm of vlogging. Were his subscribers drawn to the landscapes they explored, or was it the genuine moments of laughter and love? The question lingered as he glanced at the sleeping Elina beside him, her peaceful expression radiating a kind of beauty that words struggled to capture.

In the quiet recesses of the airplane, Ryuk grappled with a profound realization—his connection with Elina was evolving beyond the scripted lines of a vlog. As he stole a moment to admire her slumber, a gentle smile played on his lips. The fatigue from the previous day couldn't conceal the enchanting allure she exuded. Amidst the chaos of emotions, a simple thought lingered—was he truly worthy of being her boyfriend?

The descent toward home marked the end of their Venetian tale. Ryuk, once again on solid ground, booked a cab, its wheels tracing the familiar path to his residence. The city lights welcomed him, a stark contrast to the romantic glow of Venice. As he traversed the streets, the surreal nature of the journey lingered—an adventure immortalized in the pixels of a vlog, and a love story etched in the tapestry of their shared experiences.

With a mixture of exhaustion and exhilaration, Ryuk stepped into the familiarity of his home. The digital realm awaited, brimming with comments, messages, and a surge of subscribers. As he closed the laptop, Ryuk couldn't help but marvel at the unpredictable journey that lay ahead—an adventure not only in the world captured by the lens but in the ever-unfolding chapters of his life with Elina.
