Outside the TPC infirmary

"Lost Captain, are you alright?"

Mai apologized to the hunter who had just come out with a bandage around his arm: "It's all because of my brother that you were injured......

"Alright, Mai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is just a dislocated arm, and it's okay to raise it for a few days. Looking at Mai, who seemed to be about to shed tears, Kaishi smiled and comforted.

"But that guy in Aoba is really ruthless, I still hurt it now~ Hmm......" Asuka with a blue nose and swollen face couldn't help but complain, but before he could finish speaking, he was hit by Liang on the side with his arm, interrupting Asuka's words.

"Mai, actually, we don't really mean to blame Aoba, so you don't have to apologize for him all the time." Liang patted Mai's shoulder and said with a smile.

"But......" Mai looked at everyone without saying anything.

"By the way, what about Nakajima?" Liang deliberately opened the topic and asked.

"Hey, this lucky guy wasn't attacked by Aoba, so after returning to the headquarters, he went into the laboratory with the strange stone he took out of the cave, and he hasn't come out yet." Koda said speechlessly.

"What! This guy actually ...... It might be a very precious antiquity! ”

Ignoring whether he was injured or not, Kami screamed in surprise and immediately ran towards Nakajima's laboratory. Everyone watching couldn't help but be dumbfounded......

――Dividing Line――

In outer space near the Earth's sphere, a silver-white disc-shaped spaceship is hurrying into the distance.

Suddenly, a burst of fire erupted from the hull of the moving disc spaceship, and then two flashing purple-white balls of light protruded from the inside of the spaceship, and then flew quickly towards the Azure Planet not far away, as if they were escaping something.

As the two balls of light that fled in a hurry went away, a pale red ball of light was once again transmitted from the spaceship, which was not seriously damaged, and chased after the two balls of light.

And the destination they are going to is the earth......

The rooftop of TPC's headquarters

Aoba, dressed in a super-guts uniform, leaned against the railing, staring into the distance with confused eyes, and his hands were wrapped in thick bandages.

Recalling the conversation in the inquiry room just now, Aoba couldn't help but have a headache again.

Aoba remembered that memory very clearly, but what he could be sure of was that it was definitely not his intention!

The groggy Aoba couldn't help but recall the memory that made him extremely confused again:

When Aoba went down to the ancient cave with his teammates, he didn't feel anything at first, everything was normal! However, after looking at the murals on the walls, Aoba's head began to lose control of his body.

The first is to push Liang who came forward to ask because of concern to the ground, and then he saw his teammates one second ago, but the next second they all turned into figures that radiated light. I don't know why,Aoba's body instinctively knocked them to the ground one by one,When he ran to the cave where the strange stone was found,In front of Aoba's eyes were everywhere the figure that radiated light similar to the giant on the mural,Then Aoba's hands continued to bombard those figures as if tirelessly,Just when he regained consciousness, he had returned to the TPC headquarters,And the teammates were more or less injured,This even if they don't say Aoba, they can guess who caused it......

After waking up, he was called to the inquiry room by Captain Kibi, and Captain Kibi was accompanied by the intermediary staff officer he had seen before and the man who called himself Kino Mukio.

"The giant...... Who is it? Aoba muttered as he pulled out the dark spark that had appeared on its own since leaving the interrogation room and could not disappear again no matter what.

"You're here?" A man's voice sounded behind Aoba, who heard the sound and quickly put the dark spark into the mezzanine of his uniform. When Aoba turned his head, he found that the owner of the voice turned out to be the herpherd of Kirino, who had been silent in the inquiry room before.

"It seems that I'm really not suitable for this kind of work," Seeing that Aoba just glanced at himself and turned around again, Kino Mufu smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Anything else?" Aoba still looked at the quiet night sky and asked without looking back.

"It's a bit of a thing."

Makio Kirino pushed his glasses and said, "I think you should remember our conversation not long ago. ”

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Aoba turned to look at Tsumino Makoo.

"It's really nice to be able to turn into a monster and control it in battle." Tsukino said with a smile.

"I'd rather not have this ability if I could!" Aoba shouted at Tsumino Mufu.

"No, no, no~ On the contrary, I think this ability is still good. At least compared to when you become Lukiel, it doesn't consume the light in your body. It's just your physical strength. Makio Kirino didn't care about Aoba's attitude, but said calmly, "You know? In fact, some high-level TPC officials are already privately proposing whether to eliminate Lukiel......"

"What! What the hell is this...... Why! Before Tsukino Mufu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Aoba.

"Why? It's not so much that they feel threatened by Lukiel's disregard for other attacks, as they say on the surface, it's that they are afraid of Lukiel! Tsumino Makio said and smiled self-deprecatingly again, "Human beings are such creatures with wrong mouths~"

"That'...... What do you think? Hearing this, Aoba's tone gradually calmed down.

"Me? It doesn't matter what I think, it's you who matters! Kimino Mufu patted Aoba on the shoulder and said, "No matter what the future holds, whether it is for good or bad, the final decision is only in your heart!" ”

"Inside?"

I don't know why, but Kino Mufu's words seemed to make Aoba feel familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.

"By the way, the intermediary staff entrusted me to tell you if Lukiel does something harmful to humanity next time. So for your safety, please take the initiative to hand over that thing to TPC for safekeeping. As for what that thing is, I think you should understand! Kimino chuckled and pointed to Aoba's chest.

"This ...... The intermediary staff also knew that I was ......"

"No, she didn't. Because I didn't answer her directly, I just said that I knew the man who became Lukiel. In fact, the intermediary staff is still very good. When she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly smiled, "I won't bother, you can talk slowly." ”

"Huh?! Wait, us? 'Where are we'......" Before Aoba could finish speaking, he saw a figure in a super-guts uniform walking slowly towards him......

meanwhile

Two balls of light suddenly appeared in the sky, one of which fell into the distance, while the other fell straight into a forest.

At the point where the ball of light that had fallen in the forest fell, a small lifeform emerged from the thick smoke rush, but it was enclosed in a box-like object like clear glass. Thanks to the protection of the glass box, the lifeform did not suffer much damage.

A strange light suddenly appeared not far from the glass box, and when the light dissipated, it was a strangely dressed man who looked very similar to a human.

The man slowly got up and probed the direction of the target through the device on his arm, and immediately found the glass box on the ground.

The moment he found the glass box, the man had already pulled out the beam gun on his waist and aimed it at the glass box, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger and fired a light blue beam at the glass box!

The pale blue beam of light destroyed the glass box and the small life forms inside it, turning it into dust on this planet!

After doing all this, the man once again probed the location of another glass box through the device on his arm......

The next day

On the beach in front of the orphanage, a little girl strolled silently on the beach, looking at the family of three in front of her, she felt an unspeakable loneliness in her heart, as if she was out of place with this world. Because not so long ago, she had a fight with her only friend over a trivial matter......

The girl turned back and stopped looking at the happy family, but when the girl wanted to walk away, she unexpectedly found that something seemed to have fallen not far from her, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The girl quickly stepped forward to dig up the sand around the object that reflected the sunlight, and removed the glass box that was almost buried in the sand, and the cute appearance of the small life trapped in the special capsule instantly attracted the girl's attention.

The glass box held by the girl in the palm of her hand is exactly the same as the glass box destroyed by the mysterious man before, indicating that this is another lifeform trapped in a special capsule that was left to Earth last night!

The blue-white fluff and the pair of small ears of the life trapped in the special capsule, combined with its shivering appearance as if frozen by the cold sea, set off it extremely cute, and in a blink of an eye, it was loved by the girl.

"Are you still alive?"

The girl looked expectantly at the little life in the glass box held in the palm of her hand, and the girl who was introverted and eager to have friends really hoped that this cute little life could live and become her only friend in the orphanage as good as ever.

"Nanako should like it too......"

The little girl thought to herself.

As if in response to the girl's expectations, the little creature in the special capsule opened its little eyes at the right time and screamed softly at the girl as if it were coquettish.

"It's so cute~"

The cute appearance of the little creature once again won the girl's favor, and the girl held the glass box in her hands and bowed down happily and cheered.

Just when the girl was rejoicing in the cuteness of the little life, a middle-aged woman walked out of the orphanage not far from the girl, and this middle-aged woman was the director of the orphanage.

The director of the orphanage walked out of the orphanage, looked around, and then fell on the girl who was happy with the glass box in her hand.

"Yuka! I've finally found you. ”

When the director saw the girl, Yuka immediately beckoned, and then stepped forward and gently took Yuka's little hand and took her back to the orphanage, and the box containing the little life form was also taken back to the orphanage by Yuka......
