Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"That guy!"

"Release the vice-captain!"

The sudden turn of events caught the surrounding defense team members off guard, and their strongest member, Vice Captain Hoshi, was taken down in a single exchange!

They immediately raised their weapons and aimed them at the man in the floral shirt.

"Don't rush me, I'm not a riddle teller."

"I'll explain it to you properly in a bit," Natsuki said casually, controlling Hoshina Soshiro.

Then she dragged him toward a barbecue restaurant on the street.

"I..." Hoshina Soshiro hadn't come to his senses yet.

I... I was captured by the enemy?

And... he was even taken hostage?

This person is a monster!

"Leave me alone!"

"Make contact immediately..." Hoshina Soshiro shouted to his team members who dared not fire because they were worried about their own lives.

Meanwhile, Xia Shu had already placed him inside the barbecue restaurant and found a spot where the charcoal stove was still burning.

Hoshina was stunned again when he saw his arm being released and Natsuki already eating on her own.

Even the tense team members outside, who were about to rush over, were stunned.

What kind of development is this?

Shouldn't a major battle be about to happen next?

And what's wrong with this person... why does he look like he hasn't eaten for three days?

Shouldn't this guy be a cannibal?

"I'm not going to nag anymore, let's cool off first..." Xia Shu first showed off all the dishes available in the restaurant, and then stuffed a piece of meat that was half-cooked on the grill into her mouth.

"This... Vice Captain?" The team members who rushed in looked at Hoshina Soshiro. Faced with this scene that could not be understood by common sense, they could only wait for their superior's orders.

Soshiro Hoshina was also completely bewildered.

First, he was certain that this guy was definitely not human; second... the other party could control him in a single encounter.

Despite his own carelessness, this guy's strength is definitely above that of most monsters.

The strangest thing is that this guy clearly had an easy chance to kill himself, but he didn't. His goal was very clear: to eat rice.

"Ton ton ton..."

"Let's talk after I finish eating. Don't worry, I don't mean to hurt you." Xia Shu used a large bucket of juice to swish the food in her mouth, gave them a quick reply, and then continued eating.

Soshiro Hoshina: "..."

What's wrong with this guy?!

......

Japan's 1st Defense Force, Ariake Seaside Base.

Inside a laboratory, two researchers wearing white lab coats are discussing something.

Moreover, judging from their expressions, they do not share the same beliefs.

Both of them wore expressions of helplessness, each sticking to their own version of events, and their expressions gradually intensified, threatening to escalate into an argument.

"That's enough! I..."

Suddenly, a researcher saw a wanted notice pop up on his computer screen.

The expression on his face froze instantly.

His gaze became clear.

"Heh... Hahaha..."

Another researcher was completely bewildered by his sudden change in expression and even his laughter.

Has this guy gone mad?

Chapter 170 targets

"I'm full~"

After showing off all the store's inventory, Xia Shu leaned back in her chair, clutched her stomach, let out a long sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

With this experience, I must bring food with me next time I train Kafka, instead of waiting until after training to come and eat.

What exactly is your purpose?

Hoshina Soshiro, who had been standing in the barbecue restaurant for a while, squinted at Natsuki and asked, "I can't understand this man at all. Is this guy a little too oblivious?"

Is it a person, a monster, or something else entirely?

"By the way, put the cost of the meal on your tab, since you delayed their normal business operations." Xia Shu looked at him, and the first thing she said was that she was worried about the restaurant owner's losses.

Soshiro Hoshina: "..."

Other defense team members: "..."

Is this the focus right now?

"...You don't need to worry about that. Whether it's damage to buildings during the battle or financial losses, our defense force will compensate you as usual," said Hoshina Soshiro.

Monsters have existed in this world for hundreds of years, and as things stand today, governments around the world have developed comprehensive systems for compensating for monster-related disasters.

"Now...can you tell me your identity and your purpose?" he continued.

Faced with someone stronger than oneself who has not shown any hostility, the only option now is to negotiate honestly.

“Of course,” Xia Shu said with a smile, then gestured for the other person to sit opposite him.

Hoshina Soshiro hesitated for a second, but still chose to sit down.

Why did this mysterious man appear in Yokohama?

“I’m a member of the Space Garrison from the M78 Nebula. I came to Earth to arrest someone,” Natsuki said, arms crossed. “You can call me Natsuki.”

Upon hearing this, Hoshina Sōshirō immediately frowned.

"Are you kidding me?"

Are alien police coming to Earth to arrest people?

That sounds ridiculous.

“That’s the truth, believe it or not.” Natsuki shrugged.

"Besides, weren't you going to take me back for investigation? Now I can cooperate with you."

"It just so happens that I'd also like to have a talk with your superiors."

The purple-haired man in front of him was just a vice-captain. He needed to find someone with real power to take charge and discuss cooperation between the two sides.

In the best-case scenario, the defense team would cooperate with him to capture all the transmigrators in this world, and he would also help the defense team eliminate the monsters.

“You…” Hoshina Soshiro looked at Natsuki, hesitating.

He was wondering if bringing this guy back to the base rashly might cause some trouble.

However... allowing a powerful being to roam freely seems even more dangerous.

"I have another question for you," he asked, voicing his long-held doubts. "Are you... really Monster Number Eight?"

"Monster Number Eight?"

"This is it." Hoshina Soshiro took the phone handed to him by a teammate and showed it to Natsuki the wanted poster for Monster Number Eight.

"It's actually called Monster Number Eight?"

"Your defense team really comes up with random names," Natsuki remarked, glancing at the wanted poster.

They actually didn't want to think of a name and just used a code name.

"So this is your true form?" Hoshina Sōshirō asked.

He didn't know what the so-called Space Garrison members should look like, but this image was the most likely one.

“No.” Natsuki shook her head.

"If you're looking for Monster Number Eight, you've come to the wrong person."

Hoshina Soshiro was even more puzzled. The biggest suspect claimed that he was not Monster Number Eight.

What exactly did I catch on this trip?

Claiming to be an alien police officer, he possesses speeds that even he cannot keep up with. He appears no different from a human, yet exudes mystery from head to toe.

This is really a headache... I have a feeling things are going to take an unpredictable turn.

A look of sorrow appeared on Hoshina Soshiro's face.

This guy in the floral shirt isn't exactly the honest, well-behaved type either.

"Fine... since you're willing to cooperate, then come with us first," he said, scratching his head.

......

The underground parking garage of Yokohama Minami General Hospital.

"That's strange."

"Kafka Hibino and Reno Ichikawa left the hospital this morning and didn't return until this afternoon, and they looked very tired," the blond man in the back seat of the black sedan said, looking at his phone.

"Furthermore, this man who was wanted along with Monster Number Eight... should not exist."

The brown-haired man wearing sunglasses, sitting in the driver's seat, frowned.

"The first one to be exposed?"

They believed that the man in the floral shirt was also one of the time travelers.

"Exposing oneself to the public eye before any official action has been taken seems like the act of a novice," he said.
