Track 11
In Front of the Red Brick Warehouse
Why are there so many riot police gathered around here…? We can’t even get in because there’s caution tape everywhere! Darling, I’m scared!
Could it be because of that whole UMA incident that’s been trending on social media lately…!? But don’t worry! I’ll protect you no matter what happens!
Awww, so dependable! I love you! Mwah!
I love you too! Kiss, kiss!
Uuugh…
Uweh… it hurtsh…
(It hurts so much that my body can no longer be seen by the human eye. A completely colorless, transparent Netaro. Though it does make escaping easier, at least.)
(I hate doing exactly what my ex-boss orders me, but judging by how bad this pain is, I’d be better off getting treatment on my home planet…)
But—
FLASHBACK
They said they’ll submit the report or something like that…
Should I talk to them into postponing the invasion before I get on the ship…?
Haaah, good grief. Do you really think we can pick up a UMA with something like a thermal camera?
We’ve got no choice but to trust the commander. Apparently, he’s had experience with stuff like this…
Mm?
HUH!!??
We’ve detected an unidentified heat source!! I-It’s right beside us, but we can’t see it!!
…Guess I don’t have the time to hesitate anymore.
HAMA Tours - Meeting Room
-phone ringing-
A’ight, time to get to work.
Hey, hey. This is the Netaro Rescue H.Q., over—
Ryui here. Turns out the leads I followed last night paid off.
From what I got outta some guys I know, there was some guy hangin’ around the Angelica lookalike…
That’s gotta be Yowa. Heard he headed west from here sometime yesterday. Over.
Anisama, you’re way too good at this…!
I wanna wrap this up quick so I can come see you already. Tch… that little shit. He’s dead when he gets back, I swear.
Think you take it from here?
Yes, just leave it to me. So if he’s heading in that direction…
(No matter how you look at it, Nagi’s story ‘bout the Angelica lookalike being an alien and Netaro somehow got the Yorozu searchin’ for him is one hell of a leap…)
Yodaka-san! Based on my divination, he seems to be in the direction of the brick warehouse. Over!
(Of course I want to meet Anisama as soon as possible. But I want Netaro-san back safe too…!)
Thank you. This is Yodaka speaking.
Just as Toi said, there seems to be quite a commotion going on around the brick warehouse. I’d say he’s heading toward Chinatown.
I’m glad I held onto the 'All-Seeing Horizon Binoculars'1 that Netaro gave me back when I was assigned to guard Joe-sama. Handing it back to you.
(Netaro. You came to get me with a gentle knock. This time, it’s our turn.)
(I get that there’s something probably crazy going on behind the scenes. But instead of questioning Nagi’s ridiculous story, everyone went along with it, helping him…)
(Well, can’t say that we’ve never dealt with wild shit before in Aomori and Yamanashi too.)
That’s all from us, Leader.
It’s not the same without that noisy guy. So you better hurry and bring him back!
In Front of HAMA House
Okay. Thanks everyone. I’ll take the baton from here.
*Nagi puts on his helmet and starts his bike*
Chinatown
This area is under restriction for the entire day!
We’re sealing off the entire Chinatown area, so civilians are asked to leave immediately!
Why are there riot police…?
Probably because of that UMA incident from yesterday?
Tch, this smells like nothing but trouble… Sojun.
Understood. I’ll send in more reinforcements.
-sound of a bike stopping-
Sigh…
So? Why are you here?
Umm… To chaperone my student… I guess.
Chinatown - Main Street
Haaah… haaah…!
Heat source on the move! Drive it into the dead end!
Keep your distance and surround it!
(Whoopsies, I forgot to cover up my tracks~ The drain I escaped into yesterday is blocked off with steel plates.)
Chinatown Alley
The target appears to have stopped in place!
TAZE IT!!
*Netaro gets tazed*
UGYAAHHHHH—!!
IT HUΨ◆日@β※RTs!!
S-Something yelled…!
It’s working! AGAIN!!
*he gets tazed again*
NNNGYAHHH…!
*Netaro falls*
TARGET DOWN!!
(I can’t, do this anymore…)
D-Did we get it…?
Even though I want to be a good kid…EVEN THOUGH I WANT, TO BE A GOOD, ALIEN…!!
CHOMP.
Crunch, crunch crunch.
GWAAAHH!? THE GUN’S BEEN CHIPPED APART!?
It’s eating the iron while it’s invisible!!
FALL BACK! Keep your eyes on your thermal camera at all times!
Umm, are you busy—
Two minutes until reinforcements arrive!
Ah, um, eks-kyooz moi—
HOLD OUT UNTIL THEN! DON’T BREAK FORMATION—
Hello. Hellooooo.
Yes, hello! This is the riot po—
………
Huh…?
WH-WH-WH-WH-WHO ARE YOU!? Civilians should not be here! There’s an unidentified mysterious creature on the run that we can’t see!
I thought we’d evacuated everyone except authorized personnel…!?
M-Mr. Reindeer?
…Netaro. Are you here?
……
Gii…
Yeah. Let’s go home.
……!
Hm, I can’t see him, so I don’t know which way to go. This way? That way? Do you know?
N-No…
~~~~~~!
*Netaro jumps on Nagi's back*
I’M HERE! I’m “RIGHT HERE”!
Woah, I just felt something press against my back.
…Alright, let’s make a quick run to my bike. Sorry if it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. Bye then.
…
Huh?
HEY! That civilian just snatched the UMA and took off with it!!
After the— Wait, how is he so god damn far already!? Holy crap, he’s ridiculously fast!?
