Super Fighting Tokyo.

"It is close to minus 270.4 degrees Celsius, which is close to absolute zero."

"Everything on the ground was frozen solid, including giant dinosaurs, plants, and all kinds of insects..."

"It also includes fighting!"

"—Pico's battle with the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Dr. Payne said in a deep voice:

"At the same time, the impact brought about violent crustal movements, swallowing various things on the surface into the ground."

"The rock salt layer, which has undergone the least change, has preserved this struggle."

"The rock salt layer has an extraordinary ability to preserve its contents."

"In 2000, seawater dating back 250 million years was collected from rock formations in New Mexico, and the resurgence of microorganisms in it proved this point."

"..."

“Some time ago, we discovered ‘two-headed pickles’ in the rock salt layer.”

"One of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was too badly damaged before it was frozen, so it couldn't be revived, but the other one did..."

Dr. Payne remained calm, clearly prepared to make his next statement.

"Regarding the incident at Haneda Airport, I can only express my sympathy for the female announcer who was injured."

"But, everyone..."

"Pico came from Earth 200 million years ago; in other words, he came from another planet."

“All the common sense and morality we possess do not apply to him.”

"..."

……

Rather than explanation or reassurance, Dr. Payne's words were more of an "elaborate statement."

Therefore, Dr. Payne's words were completely ineffective in calming down those who were unwilling to be persuaded.

Public opinion has further escalated.

That afternoon, a television station even invited guests from all walks of life to discuss how to deal with Pike, using hot topics such as "judging people from primitive times" to boost ratings.

Did Pi Ke act maliciously?

Is he even human?

How should the relevant legal rules be interpreted in detail?

"..."

Amidst the clamor of discussion, Pico, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was placed in a U.S. military base on the outskirts of Tokyo.

It was evening.

Because the "female victim" was a popular news anchor, and because the U.S. military responsible for transporting Pike did not respond at all after the incident.

As a result, hundreds of people gathered in front of the U.S. military base, protesting with angry signs and demanding severe punishment for Pike.

The situation reached a stalemate.

……

……

It was dusk inside the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall.

The visiting friends, each with their own feelings, left early.

The TV was always on so I could keep up with Pike's latest news.

Shiraki Sei, Wu Fengshui, You Sha, Maruk —

The four who regularly reside at the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Academy went through another day of their daily routine, but the wild figure still frequently came to mind.

Exercise, do homework, maintain firearms, wash up, eat, rest...

……

living room.

A must-have for winter: a kotatsu (heated table).

Arisa, having finished her homework, and Maruk, having finished their workout, sat on opposite sides, watching TV and eating the oranges they had bought.

Just then, the two suddenly heard a noise behind them.

Turning my head, I saw—

It turned out that Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui were already dressed and ready to go out.

It is worth noting that Shiraki was wearing all black clothes.

Wu Fengshui's outfit was even more professional, consisting of not only a full black combat uniform but also a backpack carrying a lot of equipment, as if he had switched to "work mode".

"Eh~~~~?"

Yusa blinked and asked curiously, "Brother and Fengshui Sister, where are you going?"

"Mmm~~~~~"

Bai Mucheng tilted his head, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "To the US military base?"

"Oh, you're going to find Pico!"

Yusa nodded, tossed half an orange to Shiraki Sei and Wu Fengshui, and instructed them, "Remember to watch out for cars when you cross the street."

Now it was Shiramu Cheng's turn to be curious, "Eh~~~~?"

He scoffed, "Your performance is too bland. After all, it's your older brother who's going to invade a US military base. It could easily escalate into an international issue."

Yusa leaned back and lay sprawled on the floor, lazily agreeing, "Wow, that's amazing~!"

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

I had a feeling that this reaction was a bit off, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem surprising.

After all, compared to being nearly beaten to death by the Unbound Ones, infiltrating a US military base was merely an outdoor activity.

Arisa raised her hand and waved, "Have a safe trip!"

Maruk chimed in, "Goodbye, brothers and sisters!"

……

……

Wu Fengshui drove, carrying professional equipment and Bai Mucheng, to the outskirts of Tokyo.

Stop the car two kilometers from your destination.

Then, Bai Mucheng and Wu Fengshui walked forward and parted ways at an intersection, heading in two different directions.

Shiraki went straight to the US military base.

Wu Fengshui then sought out a high vantage point nearby to provide support for Bai Mucheng.

"..."

As Wu Fengshui walked, he adjusted his headset and kept talking to Bai Mucheng.

"Shiraki-chan, can you hear me?"

"receive."

Bai Mucheng responded through the earpiece, saying helplessly, "Actually, I'm fine coming alone."

Wu Fengshui blinked his black-and-white eyes and said with a grin, "It's alright, it's been a long time since I went out for a walk with Bai Muqin."

Shiraki understood and chatted with the girl about random things.

The atmosphere between the two was wonderful, like having a long phone conversation in a park at dusk, only their destinations were somewhat unusual.

Soon, Shiramu Cheng will be able to see it from afar—

The heavily guarded military base, and the crowd protesting in front of the gate.

Meanwhile, Wu Fengshui had already climbed a signal tower, sat on the maintenance platform, and taken out night vision binoculars to survey the entire scene.

As darkness fell, the girl's figure was completely obscured.

Blood vessels bulged around her eyes. [Liberation] was activated. "OK, I'm in position, scanning the map."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shiramu Cheng avoided the noisy crowd and quietly walked along the edge of the base, also observing the gaps in the defenses.

This feeling of sneaking around has a unique kind of fun.

Although knocking out the guards and then sneaking in is something that can be done, the opportunity is rare, so it's better to have more fun with Wu Fengshui.

"Break through the US military base's guards and reach Pike's room without touching any soldiers—"

Shiramu Cheng grinned, "This is so much fun!"

Wu Fengshui also thought so.

After all, Pike's status is that of a "World Heritage Site," and the US military's protection level is already at its highest, making it a very challenging task no matter how you look at it.

……

……

Soon, Wu Fengshui sent an aerial map of the base to Bai Mucheng's phone.

Bai Mucheng looked at his phone and discussed the invasion strategy with Wu Fengshui.

"The protesters are all in the southwest, what about the northeast?"

"That area is all open space, and the searchlights are sweeping very frequently."

"Hmm... Go straight to the north and climb upstairs?"

"The view is a bit obstructed, and the defensive configuration behind the building cannot be seen."

"I see..."
