Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

"Do you really want to convict TPC based solely on this video of unknown origin?"

"If that's really what you think..."

Director Sawai's voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

"That's a coincidence. We also happen to have a copy of the evidence regarding this betrayal."

Chapter 177 The Arrogant Game Changer

The next second, Director Sawai calmly took a USB drive out of his pocket and plugged it into the conference computer in front of him.

"Shh-"

The images on the big screen switched instantly.

A top-secret document bearing the official seal of the Shinomiya Foundation was displayed before everyone.

Everyone looked up again, and Masaki Keigo also turned his head slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over the document.

The core content of the document is extremely shocking, and can be summarized in just one sentence.

The Shinomiya Foundation is secretly making contact with unknown extradimensional life forms, attempting to use alien technology to create a pseudo-Ultraman that is completely subservient to the conglomerate.

"I see……"

Masaki Keigo murmured softly, a deep meaning appearing in his eyes.

"What...what does this mean?!"

"You're spouting nonsense!!! You're the ones who actually wanted to capture Tiga's power!!"

In the TPC booth, an agitated staff officer slammed his fist on the table and pointed at Elder Shinomiya across from him, launching into a tirade of profanities.

"That's right! Your chief scientist, Masaki Keigo, made some outrageous remarks at the dinner table last night about arresting Ultraman Tiga! I never imagined you were actually doing such dirty work behind the scenes!"

Faced with the collective attack from TPC's top management, the elders of the Shinomiya Foundation were completely dumbfounded.

While they were indeed ambitious, they never even considered a plan that sounded like suicide: "creating a fake Ultraman."

"Nonsense! When did we issue such an order? Where did this document come from?!"

"Why is there the Shinomiya family's seal on it?!"

But they couldn't turn back; once it was confirmed, it meant their side had surrendered.

The two sides instantly erupted into a heated argument, and the entire conference room was like a powder keg about to explode.

Kaguya Shinomiya sat on the edge, her brows furrowed.

How can there be such news from both sides?

[Where did this come from? Are we really researching these things here?!]

Kaguya quietly turned her head to look at Shinomiya Hikari, who was sitting in the main seat.

At that moment, she suddenly sensed a strong malice in Shinomiya Hikari's eyes.

"Oh my god!! What's going on?! Why are they arguing?!"

Outside the tightly closed doors of the conference room, Tsurumi glimpsed this scene through a crack in the door and nearly fainted on the spot from the shock.

Beside her, Hayasaka Ai was also shocked by what she saw inside.

……

"This is fake! It's all counterfeit!"

Shinomiya Hikari slammed his hand on the table and glared angrily at Director Sawai.

"How can we prove the innocence of the Shinomiya family based on a document of dubious origin? The seal on it is not authorized by us at all!"

"Oh? Then what makes you think, Mr. Shinomiya, that video about TPC that was just released is real?"

"……cut."

Shinomiya Huangguang was speechless for a moment after hearing this sentence.

His face was tense, maintaining an expression of anger, but a hint of wild joy shone deep in his eyes.

Officials on both sides became suspicious of each other, and the once unbreakable peace talks were completely shattered.

Amidst the chaos, Horii's gaze met Masaki Keigo's once again.

it is more than words.

"In that case, I don't see any need to continue this meeting! Let's go!"

Huang Guang, his face full of anger, waved his sleeves and was about to leave.

Great, things are going exactly as planned.

"Stop."

Suddenly, an extremely arrogant voice boomed from the podium.

Huang Guang's expression tightened, and he turned around in surprise.

On the podium, Masaki Keigo rested his hands on the table, looking down at him as if he were watching a performing dog.

"Zhengmu, what do you mean?"

Huang Guangqiang, the fourth palace official, maintained his dignity.

"Under these circumstances, are you still going to negotiate with those guys who want to capture giants?"

"You're very noisy."

Masaki Keigo coldly uttered four words, leaving everyone present stunned.

The TPC executives looked at Masaki Keigo on the podium with puzzlement, not understanding why he would reprimand his master in such a disrespectful tone.

"What...what did you say?!"

Shinomiya Hikari's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Masaki Keigo completely ignored his rage.

He turned his head slightly to look at the aisle in the center of the conference room.

There, Horii, wearing a TPC uniform, had somehow stood up and walked to the center of the corridor.

"The meeting isn't over yet, and I haven't finished putting away all the things I've prepared."

Masaki Keigo said calmly.

The next second, he pressed the remote control in his hand.

The screen instantly switched to display a huge global map.

The screen was covered with countless red dots, broadcasting news of alien incidents from Japan and around the world.

"As we all know, there have been several incidents of alien attacks around the world recently."

"They hide among humans, mimicking our language and learning our habits."

As Masaki Keigo narrated, images of aliens killed by defense forces in various locations began to play on the screen.

The initially agitated members of parliament and tycoon elders, upon seeing the dripping blood and vanished lives on the screen, unconsciously returned to their seats.

"Masaki, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Shinomiya Huangguang's expression finally couldn't hold back anymore; he sensed something was wrong.

Masaki Keigo still didn't look at him directly, and just continued to slide the PPT.

"So, as a scientist, I was thinking... since this kind of disguise is so common."

"So, could it be that aliens have already been lurking among us, the self-proclaimed elite of humanity?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room gasped, and they all unconsciously looked at the people around them.

"The whole thing started with that email."

Masaki Keigo switched the large screen back to the video interface of Director Sawai's Project F.

"At that time, the video suddenly appeared in my private email."

"But strangely enough, I wrote the firewall for this computer myself, and apart from the few people in power in the Shinomiya family, no one can input any bytes into it."

After saying that, Masaki Keigo finally turned his head and gave Shinomiya Kiko a meaningful look.

"Masaki! Are you doubting me?!"

Huang Guang roared furiously.

“Did I specifically name you, Mr. Shinomiya?”

Masaki Keigo sneered.

The elders of the Shinomiya family around him also showed their displeasure upon hearing Masaki's presumptuous words.

Ignoring the noise, Masaki Keigo turned to look at Director Sawai, who had remained silent in the audience.

"As a scientist, I don't believe that Director Sawai would be foolish enough to discuss the capture plan in his own office and be photographed."

"Then, I remembered my assistant's recent strange behavior. His slow movements and occasional empty eyes convinced me that some kind of alien was haunting me."

"Huh?!"

Tsurumi, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was startled.

Hayasaka Ai raised an eyebrow and looked at Tsurumi beside her, her hand already secretly reaching for the weapon under her skirt.

“I suspect that aliens can possess other people, and they can make humans do things against their instincts without being noticed.”

Masaki Keigo's voice gradually turned cold.

"In the end, I even doubted myself."

"So, I found Horii, my former colleague."

"After using some methods that only the two of us knew about, I became even more convinced of my point of view."

Masaki Keigo recalled the time yesterday afternoon when he opened the computer database after Horii left.

He still retains the memory of that time.

He looked at every piece of information on the computer and searched for every document.

Everything seemed flawless; his consciousness was coherent, and his logic was clear.

Everything was normal, except that he ate the whole bag of red bean bread on the table, bite by bite.

……

Chapter 178 Rat-Catching Operation

"Let me handle the rest."

Horii, standing in the aisle, took a deep breath and picked up where Masaki Keigo left off.

"After noticing Dr. Masaki's abnormal behavior, I had a discussion with Director Sawai and Director Yoshioka, and we came to similar conclusions."

"It wasn't until just now, when the so-called TPC classified video and the Shinomiya Foundation's classified documents were released at the same time, that we were able to fully confirm all of this reasoning."

Horii's words were like sharp swords, piercing Shinomiya Kōkō.

"Some aliens are causing trouble behind the scenes, their goal is to make us completely break off relations right from the start!"

"He wanted to ruin the meeting, leave indelible suspicion between the two sides, and thus undermine the trust that humanity had just built up from within."

Everyone in the audience felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this.

At this moment, Director Sawai finally stood up slowly.

During the secret conversation yesterday afternoon, Horii vouched for him with his personal integrity.

"Although Masaki Keigo is arrogant and radical, he has the dignity that belongs to human beings! He would never wag his tail and beg for a creature from outer space!"

Therefore, at that time, Director Sawai chose to trust his team members without reservation.

As it turned out, Horii was right.

"Therefore, if we want to accomplish all this, and to thoroughly muddy the waters in this game, we need someone with enough status to steer the meeting."
