The future gently reminded him.
Hongkai restarted the car, the engine roaring with a long and carefree sound.
Goodbye, young man.
"And Zero."
Hey, bye everyone!
Zero inside Taiga Nozomi also greeted them.
The jeep spewed out a puff of exhaust fumes and gradually disappeared into the distance.
As the car lights gradually disappeared into the distance, Dahe Wang's figure appeared somewhat lonely under the dim streetlights.
Hey, Taiga, why aren't you going with them?
Only afterwards did Zero ask the question in his mind.
After spending some time with him, Zero had a general idea of this Earthling's personality.
He knew that Dahe's rejection this time was definitely not due to some kind of pointless arrogance or pride; there must be another reason.
With his hands in his pockets, Daigo Nozomi strolled slowly back to Shirogane's apartment.
"Hey, Zero," Taiga said in a low voice, "Do you think this world is being constantly invaded by those evil cosmic life forms?"
Ah, yes, as long as the Sky Rift doesn't disappear, this place will remain the universe's garbage dump.
"But look at the Earth now."
Dahe Wang sighed.
"The Defense Force has not fully transformed yet, and the TPC has just been established. There are not enough people and the weapons are not enough. In this gap period, if an ordinary person like Shirogane encounters an alien, it will be very troublesome."
I see...
Zero seemed to have a vague idea of what was going on.
So, what do you mean, Dahe?
"What I mean is, I have the power now, and I have you, this warmonger, by my side."
"At least during this period when no one is in charge, we must ensure that those around us are no longer harmed."
Dahe Wang stopped in his tracks, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented determination.
"So I decided that I would start a civilian action organization to deal with these opportunistic scumbags."
He looked up at the vast sky with an air of arrogance.
[This is truly beyond my expectations, Taiga! I never thought you'd be so self-aware!!]
Zero was shocked upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly, his tone full of admiration.
Since we're starting an organization, we definitely need a cool name! Have you decided on one yet?
"Ah, I've thought about it. I was thinking about it when I was by their car."
Dahe Wang rubbed his nose smugly and said proudly:
"Since we were all pulled in by the spacetime turbulence, and this Earth is enveloped by unknown forces, forming its own universe..."
"So, let's call this organization—the Space Garrison! How about that, is that badass enough?"
Taihe Wang eagerly awaited the praise in his mind.
However, in his mind, Zero suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Space Garrison...
"Hey? Zero? Where are you?"
one second.
two seconds.
"Say something?!"
Hahahaha!
Zero's maniacal laughter exploded in Daigo's head, almost making him fall flat on his face.
"Hey! What do you mean?! I'm seriously working on this, okay?! Don't spoil the fun, you jerk!"
Dahe Wang jumped up and down by the roadside in a fit of rage.
No, no... I was just expressing my feelings.
Zero clutched his stomach in his consciousness space, almost laughing until tears streamed down his face.
[Hahaha! Taihe, being of one mind with you was truly the best decision I've ever made in my life!]
"What did you suddenly say? Ugh! That's disgusting..."
What do you mean? Do you even know how many people want to be one with me?!
Under the dim streetlights, Nozomi Taiga and Zero bickered as they walked into the apartment building where Shirogane lived.
Shortly after, the lights on the second floor came on.
Through the semi-transparent window silhouette, one could clearly see three figures—two adults and one child—eagerly welcoming the young man who had just entered.
They looked at him with concern and then helped him into the warm room.
……
"Not bad, I guess."
At the end of the road, inside the jeep that hadn't gone far, Hong Kai and Hibino Mirai quietly watched this scene, a smile on their faces.
Then, Hongkai shifted into gear, pressed the accelerator again, and drove towards home.
……
When they returned to the old town, the coffee shop's warm yellow lights were already on.
Duan Zilian was sitting on the stone steps at the door with her arms crossed, and there were two cans of oolong tea next to her.
When he saw the jeep approaching, he raised his hand and waved with a smile.
Hongkai and Weilai jumped out of the car.
"Hey, kid, we're back."
Hong Kai stretched out a big yawn.
Welcome home.
Duan Zilian handed over two cans of oolong tea that had just been chilled.
"I've been waiting for you for ages! What have you been doing? Why did it take you so long?"
He glanced behind the two of them and let out a puzzled look.
"Where's Taiga-kun? Didn't he come back with you?"
"He has his own path to follow, so he won't squeeze into this little shop with us."
Hong Kai took the oolong tea, unscrewed the cap, took a big gulp, and said with a smile.
"Oh, I see. That's a pity. I was hoping to talk to him."
Duan Zilian chuckled.
"Duan-kun." Mirai raised the silver miniature gun in her hand. "The miniature gun that Taiga-kun mentioned has been retrieved. What about Shinomiya-sama? Hurry up and turn her back into her original form."
"Ah...that."
Duan Zilian glanced back at the tightly closed attic window and smiled helplessly.
"She's already asleep. We've been through so much today, let's wait until tomorrow morning."
He recalled how the girl had listed all his ungentlemanly behaviors as a man on the way upstairs, only to fall asleep as soon as they got there.
"Sigh, what a local tyrant."
Duan Zilian sighed silently.
"Okay, let's rest then. I feel like my bones are about to fall apart!"
Hong Kai pounded his aching shoulder and let out an exaggerated scream.
"Honestly, Kaisan, not only did you steal my money, but you're always complaining about being tired!"
"I had a really tough day!"
Amidst Duan Zilian's scolding and Wei Lai's laughter, the three pushed open the door and entered the coffee shop filled with the aroma of coffee.
Ring ring—
The sound of wind chimes gradually subsided into the night, and the streets of the old town returned to tranquility.
In the quiet attic on the second floor.
Under the soft moonlight, Kaguya was curled up in Danzi Rei's bed sheet, sleeping soundly.
Her brows relaxed, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were having a nice dream.
The night in Chiba has finally returned to peace.
Good night, sweet dreams.
Chapter 68 You Are the Challenger
Kaguya woke up from a beautiful dream filled with the scent of sunshine.
"Well……"
She subconsciously covered her warm cheeks, savoring the lighthearted scenes from her dream, and couldn't help but smile happily.
After a long while, she slowly sat up.
Watching the sunlight stream through the gaps in the curtains, light and shadow intertwine on the floor.
She turned her head and looked at the floor beside the bed.
A simple mat was laid out next to the bed, with a pillow on it.
That's where Duanzilian sleeps.
To ensure that the Dada aliens wouldn't break in through the window in the middle of the night, Duan Zilian has been sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor next to her bed for the past two nights.
Although he always complained of feeling unwell, for the past two nights, whenever Kaguya peeked out, she could see that reassuring silhouette.
She jumped out of bed, her bare feet creaking softly on the wooden floor.
She leaned against the window, feeling the sunlight on her face, and stretched comfortably.
"Miss Shinomiya, are you awake?"
As if hearing the sound of the floorboards, Hibino Mirai's gentle voice came from downstairs.
"Come down for dinner when you're awake. I was just about to go up and call you."
"it is good!"
Kaguya responded and ran towards the stairs like a nimble little deer.
……
The table was already laden with steaming miso soup, tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet), white rice, and salted grilled salmon.
Just as Wei Lai took off her apron and hung it up, Duan Zilian and Hong Kai were already there, enjoying their meal.
"Hey, you two...aren't you going to wait for me and Mr. Hibino?"
Kaguya puffed out her cheeks and sat angrily on her special little chair.
"Kaisan said he was so hungry that he couldn't resist picking up his chopsticks first."
Duan Zilian, with half a tamagoyaki in her mouth, kept shirking responsibility.
"Hey kid, you ate first! Your bowl is half empty!"
Hong Kai stared wide-eyed, pointing at Duan Zilian with his chopsticks.
