The dazzling sun hung high in the sky, emitting heat that made people feel dizzy.

In the deserted park, the rusty swing chain made a harsh and unpleasant sound as it swayed, creaking and creaking alone.

The water in the pond sparkled under the sun. There was no wind around, only the scorching sunshine.

The sun makes people sleepy, and a figure vaguely appears in the distorted vision, seeming to be walking slowly from a distance...

...

ah?

Chiba Xing, who was sleeping on the console, suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned, not understanding why he suddenly fell asleep.

Just as the automatic sensor door of the command room opened, Shirley, wearing a blue combat uniform, stood at the door and looked at him when she walked in.

"Good morning, Team Chiba, you didn't go back last night."

"Well, it's a bit difficult." Chiba Xing pinched his eyebrows and said.

Shirley had already sat in her seat. She turned around and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"A signal from space." Chiba Yuki did not hide anything and said directly: "Yesterday when I was at the beach, I saw a red hole above Bermuda. I suspect that it was that thing that threw the monster to the earth."

"It was just inconvenient at the time, so I didn't catch the signal in time." After saying this, Chiba Xing turned his attention to Shirley and asked with his eyes.

"The equipment was not complete, so I did not continue tracking, and the message sent to me by the universe was 'nothing abnormal'." Shirley answered him expressionlessly.

"I knew it." Chiba Xing withdrew his gaze and said calmly: "Their skills are really poor."

"..."

After a while, Shirley nodded, "Yes."

After that, the two of them fell into silence again. They had nothing to say and just did their own thing.

As usual, Shirley began to collect information about the entire Japan. She was like an advanced system device, itself serving as a data source, traveling on the huge network.

When the time slowly reached eight o'clock, the sensor door of the command room opened again with a "ding".

"Shirley, good morning." He saw Nakajima, who was very energetic, walking in. He greeted her first, and then he turned around and saw Chiba Yuki on the other side.

"Good morning, Team Nakajima." Shirley responded.

"Chiba, it's really early for you today..." Nakajima was stunned, because it was rare for someone to come to the command room earlier than him.

"Good morning everyone~" Before Chiba Yuki could reply, Emiko walked in and said hello while yawning.

"Good morning, Team Mitsuki. Good morning, Team Tsukui." Shirley continued to respond calmly, and also greeted Yuya who came in behind.

"Yeah, good morning..."

"It seems like you didn't sleep well last night?" Nakajima said, looking at the two people who came in from behind.

"Haha, I'm so excited." Yuya grinned, and then slumped in his position the next second.

Jiang Miko first approached Chiba Xing and said with a smile: "Good morning, Xing-kun, you are so early today. Didn't you go back last night?"

She promised that she was just saying hello casually, but the person opposite nodded and said, "Well, yes, I didn't go back last night."

Jiang Meiko: "...???"

"Isn't it?! So, is it because you didn't go back last night?" Nakajima was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Yes...yes, Xing-kun, what happened?" Jiang Miko came back to her senses and asked with concern.

"It's nothing..." Chiba Xing scratched his hair and sighed: "Actually, I was writing my academic paper yesterday, but the monster appeared and destroyed my laptop, so I just wrote it last night

Try to recover the data and see if you can get it back."

Yes, as a college student, even if you are a member of EAD, you still have to complete your studies.

"How pitiful..." Jiang Meiko looked at him sympathetically and asked, "So, have you found it yet?"

Chiba Xing shook his head, "No, I have to rewrite it."

"Hahahahaha——" Yuya, who was slumped in the chair because he was not full of sleep, sat up suddenly in a dying illness and burst out laughing mercilessly, "Fortunately, I don't have such troubles at all!"

Jiang Meizi hit him on the head with a chestnut and hummed: "A guy who has never gone to college has no right to speak!"

"Hey! You old lady..." Yuya, who felt that his masculine dignity was being challenged, stood up angrily and glared at Jiang Miko, then cowered for a second and lowered his head, "Sister Miyuki is right."

Watching the interaction between the two, Nakajima couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm telling you, did you forget something today?" Chiba Xing, who had just been gloated by Yuya, was holding his chin and looking at him with a smile.

"What? You're laughing so disgustingly all of a sudden." Yuya, who couldn't beat Jiang Miko, was in a bad mood at the moment and said in a bad tone.

Chiba Xing didn't pay attention to this. He continued to smile and said: "In the morning, the captains came first and asked me to tell you that the training time in the morning will be moved forward by an hour."

"Ahead of time?" Jiang Meizi was stunned.

"Wait, if that's the case...!" Yuya's eyes widened.

"Yes." Chiba Xing grinned, his smile was very harmless, "In other words, the training time has been advanced to eight o'clock, that is, now, the captains have been waiting for you at the training ground for a long time."

Yuya: "..." This man's revenge is so cruel.

"Well, you guys chat, I'm leaving first." Nakajima was very decisive, turned around and hurried to the training ground.

Since we have been late for so long, what we can still strive for now is to be the first to arrive among a group of latecomers.

"I haven't eaten my breakfast yet..." This was Jiang Miko's thought.

Yuya helplessly dragged her out, "What else do you want for breakfast? Come quickly."

"Senior Kazama hasn't come yet..."

"It doesn't matter what he does, just hurry up and leave." Yuya pulled him and continued to walk out.

"Wait!" Jiang Meiko suddenly slapped his hand away and came closer to Chiba Xing, her big eyes full of expectation, "Hey, Xing-kun, let's go too."

"Not going."

"Xingjun also wants to train, so let's go together!"

"Not going."

"That's too much. We are obviously companions, aren't we?"

"Not going."

"snort!"

Jiang Meiko turned her head and left the command room angrily.

"It's indeed too much." Tsukui Yu who was standing beside him nodded empathetically.

Obviously everyone is a member of the EAD defense team, but this guy acted so relaxed, which is really annoying.

However, Chiba was unmoved and looked at him and sneered, "Isn't this your own choice?"

Yuya: "..."

This is really his own choice.

...

The command room, which had been lively for a while in the morning, became quiet again.

"Why are you lying?" Shirley, who had been silent just now, looked at the person next to her.

"Tell them what's the use and what they can't do. It's better to go to the training ground and run a few more laps." Chiba Yukou showed no expression. He cleared up his desktop and then stood up holding the laptop next to him.

"where are you going?"

"Go to school." Chiba Xing walked to the door and turned back and said: "By the way, I just sent you a piece of data, help me monitor its signal."

Shirley looked at it, then tilted her head and asked a question: "Communicator?"
