Chapter 18: The Man in Glasses
"yes, it's been a long time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Megumi Kurama smiled and took the milk handed by the waiter, and then said to the man with glasses, "When did you go back to Japan?" ”
"Just arrived the day before yesterday. By the way, the deputy captain of the European branch asked me to say hello to you. Say, when did the former comrades-in-arms get together ......," the man with glasses said to Megumi Kuruma while flipping through a magazine.
"Is there anything wrong with calling me out in such a hurry? It won't just be a message for Zongfang. Megumi said with a chuckle.
"Actually, it's not a particularly important thing, I just want to meet someone." The man with glasses handed the magazine to Megumi Kuma, and the picture on it was Lukiel and Dinah who had appeared in Big Bear Mountain not long ago.
"What do you mean......" Megumi Kurama put away the smile on her face and looked at the magazine with a solemn expression. The glasses man on the side was drinking beer calmly, and he didn't feel a little surprised by Megumi Kuma's performance.
Inside the super-guts command room
Asuka, who had just attacked an unknown small monster on his own, was standing in front of the crowd and recounting the results of his actions to Captain Hibi.
"Why don't you listen to orders?" After listening to Asuka's report, Captain Hibi didn't give an evaluation, but questioned Asuka.
"What! It's enough for me to deal with this kind of thing alone! What's the matter, don't you just kill the monster~" In response to Captain Hibi's questioning, Asuka did not show a panicked look, but retorted eloquently.
"It's a shame that the monster is still alive." Nakajima interrupts Asuka and informs Asuka of the news he has just received.
"Huh?" Asuka, who was originally looking triumphant, was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Nakajima in surprise.
Seeing this, Nakajima continued to explain to Asuka, "We only recovered two wrecks, but the life reaction showed that there were three monsters in total!" ”
"So I'm letting one of them go?!" After listening to Nakajima's explanation, Asuka looked at everyone unconvinced and said.
"That's it." Without giving Asuka any face, Kaiya affirmed directly after Asuka had just finished speaking.
"So? Is it all my fault? Asuka said unconvinced. But when Asuka looked at everyone, he found that all the team members were looking at him with blaming eyes, and the siblings Aoba and Mai nodded in unison, and the silence made Asuka speechless for a while.
"Do you understand, Asuka." Just when everyone was silent, Hibi, as the captain, broke the silence and patiently said to Asuka, "Emotional people can't talk about justice!" I believe that the super-guts uniform itself is what contains the meaning of true justice. If you don't have this kind of awareness, get out of here at once! ”
At dusk
Asuka is practicing pitching alone on the top floor of the TPC headquarters, but it is clear that the blame of Captain Hibi and everyone just now makes Asuka seem a little absent-minded, and he is just practicing simple pitching movements like a mechanical.
"Daddy...... What am I doing wrong? Asuka asked in a low voice, confused, but there was no one to give him an answer.
"It's just that people don't understand me." Unable to figure it out, Asuka took out the flash sword from the compartment of his clothes and whispered to himself, then asked in front of the empty people, "Isn't it?" Father. ”
"Is the hot-blooded boy sulking alone?" A voice came from not far away.
"Who!" Asuka hurriedly put the flash sword back into the compartment of his clothes, and then shouted loudly.
"Just a passerby, by the way, let's see if a guy can't think of it." A young man in a super-guts uniform walked slowly towards Asuka with two cans of drinks in his hand.
"Aoba?" After seeing the other party's face clearly, Asuka was a little embarrassed and didn't look over, after all, Aoba still had a bandage on his shoulder, and these injuries were still suffered because of him in the end.
"Na! Why do you have such an expression? Aoba handed the drink in his hand to Asuka, then pulled away and looked around at Asuka after a few sips, and said, "Looking at your current appearance, it seems that you want to find an opponent to play baseball?" But it's a pity that I didn't like baseball since I was a child, so I can't accompany you, so I can only invite you to drinks. ”
"Huh?!"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I played baseball as a kid, but it wasn't very good. also rejected the invitation of the friends; But my basketball is okay, so let's have time to play each other? Aoba stretched out his right hand and made a shot.
"Aoba, I'm ......"
"Just call me Aoba, didn't the captain say that the members of our super-guts are all family. It's kind of a shame to always call me 'Aoba'. Aoba interrupted Asuka and said.
"Okay! Aoba. Asuka nodded, then continued, "Did you say I really did something wrong today?" ”
"Hmm~ It depends on what angle you look at." Aoba smiled and said to Asuka, "From the captain's point of view, you did do something wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong; But from your own point of view, I think it's right. After all, everyone thinks differently, and I think it's important to stick to your heart at all times! Besides, if it were me, I would do the same thing as you should! ”
"Stick to your heart?" Asuka whispered to himself in confusion, and then looked at Aoba in surprise after hearing Aoba's last sentence.
"That's right, only your own inner thoughts are the most correct! Don't believe it, this is what my predecessors said to me, and I have always believed in it......" As he spoke, Aoba drank the drink in his hand, looked up at the setting sun, and didn't know what he was thinking, just clenched his fists tightly. The birds on the side didn't say anything when they saw this, but they just watched the sunset in the distance with Aoba......
Super-guts command room
Nakajima is explaining to the team members the analysis of the three small monsters that appeared yesterday.
"The monster that appeared yesterday is called Seklometra Parasitic Beast. After dissection, we found that it possessed a strange quality. Nakajima explained in detail to the super-guts members present, and at this time, Asuka also quietly appeared at the door of the command room, quietly eavesdropping on the monster that he had let go.
"Traits?" Captain Kibi asked with a puzzled look at Nakajima when he heard this.
"That's right. Secrometra has a rather rare antimatter sac in its body. Let's take a look at the information! Nakajima said that he reached out and transferred the information of Seklometra to the large screen, and when everyone turned to look at the information on the screen, Nakajima continued to explain, "In other words, if this antimatter sac is mixed with other creatures, there will be a large explosion with a diameter of several kilometers!" The consequences are quite dire. ”
"But why is there that kind of thing in the body?" Liang also looked at Nakajima in confusion, wanting Nakajima to explain in more detail why the peculiarities of the Secrometra parasitic beast existed.
"It's still a mystery, and I don't know what it does." Nakajima replied helplessly, "Actually, the parasitic beast itself is just a small monster that is less than ten meters long. ”
"All in all, let's clean it up first!" Captain Hibi made a final summary.
At this time, Asuka, who could no longer hold back, immediately walked into the super-guts command room through the gate and said to Captain Hibi, "Please let me go!" ”
"I really haven't reflected at all......" Liang sighed helplessly as he looked at Asuka who asked Captain Kibi to attack. Aoba, opposite Liang, quietly gave a thumbs up to the bird.
"That's fine." Captain Kibi got up and replied, and without waiting for Asuka to reply, he continued, "It's just that I'm going with you!" ”
