When Orus returned to the small house, he saw Sakurako Ono, who had returned from get off work, sitting quietly on the tatami in a daze.

Oh, Ono Sakurako also told him the word tatami.

At that time, she looked at her with such inexplicable pity for a long time.

Sakurako Ono, a human being, gave him a very special feeling. Not only did she smell good, but her face was always full of smiles. Her whole body seemed to have endless energy, and she was a very energetic human being.

He was really not used to sitting there with such a deep expression on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Orus couldn't help but ask.

Ono Sakurako looked up at him and said blankly: "You are back."

"Huh?" Orus didn't understand.

"At this time you should say 'I'm back';" Ono Sakurako said seriously: "Just like what I say every time I come back."

"I'm back." So Aurus repeated her words.

Ono Sakurako's serious expression finally broke down, but instead of smiling, her face was wrinkled and full of grievances.

"What's wrong with you?" Orus couldn't help asking again.

Sakurako Ono pursed her lips and said, "I thought you left and never came back."

She thought he was angry and left because of what happened yesterday, so in the empty house, she silently despised herself, wondering why she was so nerve-wracking that she went to expose the handsome guy's scars...

"You...don't want me to leave?" Orus looked at her and suddenly asked this question.

Sakurako Ono also looked up at that perfectly composed face, and suddenly blushed after being stunned for a long time.

How to answer this kind of question? It seems like a confession...

I really started with his appearance, but after getting along with him for a few days, I found that this handsome guy seemed really good. Apart from being a bit of a common sense idiot and having a paralyzed face, I couldn't find anything wrong with him.

Because no matter what I say, he will listen...

As a result, when I come home from get off work every day, I feel very satisfied when I think of someone waiting for me in that deserted little house!

To be honest, it seems that I really don't want him to leave.

That's why she felt particularly disappointed when she faced the empty house just now.

Maybe I had this intention in the beginning, but if I really wanted to say that out loud... I would be so embarrassed.

"Well, where have you been?" So Sakurako blushed for a while and chose to change the subject.

"I went to find my friend." Aurus said truthfully.

Ono Sakurako was startled and quickly asked: "Then...you found it? Are you going to leave with him?"

Aulus was silent.

He used his usual silence when facing this human being.

This time, Ono Sakurako was very uneasy. Handsome guy, I know you are more handsome when you are silent, but can you give me the confirmation now?

The two of them looked at each other without speaking for a long time, until Sakurako Ono's stomach growled a few times.

Well, we still have to eat.

Sakurako Ono stood up, thought for a while and whispered: "If you...if you want to leave, tell me that you can take the clothes I bought for you yesterday."

If they really want to leave, I can't force them to stay. What else can I do besides being silently sad.

Cry, make trouble, and hang yourself?

Can't do it.

Ono Sakurako is very open-minded sometimes.

...

Early next morning.

Ono Sakurako went to work as usual, feeling very depressed.

Because I don’t know if I can see that handsome guy again after today.

After she came outside the communication group and got on the elevator that went directly to the sky, another person also took the elevator.

It was just that she was so absorbed in her sadness that she didn't notice who it was at all.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Sakurako Ono replied subconsciously.

She didn't react until she replied. When she turned around, she saw a young man looking at her with a sandwich in his mouth.

"Ah, it's Team Chiba, good morning." Ono Sakura said nervously.

She knew that this Chiba member of the defense team rarely stayed in the dormitory's lounge, so they would occasionally meet each other when they went to work in the morning, which was why they were relatively familiar with each other.

"You didn't have breakfast today?" Chiba Yuki asked.

"...I ate."

Okay, maybe this lack of energy does look like skipping breakfast.

She sighed, and after arriving at the medical team, she said hello to Chiba Xing and then got off the elevator.

After going to the dressing room and changing into work clothes, another nurse coming out from next door saw her look, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Hey, are you broken up in love?"

Ono Sakurako:...You are quite an expert.

...

On the other side, Chiba Yuki had just finished the sandwich he was chewing slowly when he arrived at the command room.

The sensor door opened with a "ding" sound.

"Good morning, Team Chiba." Shirley looked at him and said.

"Is there anything special last night?" Chiba Yuki stretched his waist and walked to his seat.

It's still early, so the rest of the defense team hasn't come to check in yet.

"No."

Chiba Xing held up his chin, narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a hunch that they will cause trouble today."

Shirley blinked and said nothing.

Human premonition is a very metaphysical thing, and artificial intelligence will not evaluate it.

After some time, the two captains also arrived in the command room.

Sato Takadera had returned from the headquarters two days ago.

At the same time, the news was brought back that the Monster Research Institute on Kiriya Island will be dismantled, but this research will not be closed. They decided to move to outer space for research...

The remains of monsters will still be sent there in the future, but the good thing is that the headquarters agreed not to capture live monsters anymore.

This is okay.

You can do whatever you want with the dead ones, but what if another mutant emerges from the living ones? Isn’t that the whole deal?

At 1:00 a.m., it is almost the time when most human beings go out to work.

At this time, the street that had been silent all night became lively.

And high in the sky, a huge spacecraft quietly appeared. Because of its high position, no humans have discovered it yet.

Chiba Xing silently looked at the little red dot on the radar and raised his eyebrows.

This is a wave of unknown energy.

It's just very small, so it didn't trigger the alarm. It's probably not a spaceman, just their spaceship.

Flying so high, are you preparing to run away?

Of course not, the bottom of the huge double-circular spacecraft suddenly cracked, and then like a waterfall, countless red powder exploded and floated to the ground one after another.

The alarm in the control room blared wildly.

Although the cosmic poppy powder has no energy fluctuations, this material composition has been listed in the alarm system. After receiving the results, several satellites monitoring the earth's environment immediately uploaded them to the major defense forces.

This time the scope is very wide.

The middle of the Northern Hemisphere is covered in powder from the cosmic poppy.

The major EAD branches took a look, said "Hey", and then calmly fired a few missiles.

The missile flew into the air and exploded, white powder and red powder falling together.

This is very fun.

Do the Metronians really think Earthlings are stupid and think we can't develop an antidote?

"Strange, didn't you see the Metron people coming out?" Rie Amagawa frowned in the Japanese branch office.

Chiba Xing pointed at the spaceship and said calmly: "Go hit it, or you can draw it out."
