Track 3

Hey, bro! Where the heck are we!?

We’re in Senganmori, the home of the UFO Village! It’s a super awesome and exciting place where UFO sightings have been reported since ancient times!

Just look at this compass here!

OH MY GOD! The magnetic field is so strong, it’s going haywire!

There are countless megaliths scattered around Senganmori in an almost suspiciously perfect pattern! And there’s NO evidence of a volcanic eruption either! Where did they come from? WHAT A MYSTERY—!

You can even try calling aliens at the Contact Deck at the summit!? Just watch out for abductions!

There you go, everyone! Up we go, to the UFO Village~♪

Far away~♪

……………

Who the hell cooked this shit up!?

I can’t believe Raito-san would actually do something like this…

Hey, bro! Where the heck are we!?

We’re in Senganmori, the home of the UFO Village—

Hearin’ it loop in the background is drivin’ me nuts.

And what the hell is up with this headgear? It’s hiding Toi’s adorable face!

Okay, okay, don’t make a fuss. This is part of the dress code for the UFO Fes.

Since there’s a dress code… does that mean there’s some kind of party?

There’s a costume contest where the theme is for everyone to dress up as aliens, so Nagi and I stayed up all night making these.

So that’s why everyone has matching outfits! Ehehe, I’m so happy.

…I guess it’s fine if Toi’s okay with it.

By the way, Netaro-kun… What's that equipment you’re wearing instead of the headgear?

This is my airtight, waterproof BFE 99.99% mask and ultra-compact eyeball-washing, anti-inflammatory liquid-circulating goggles.

By wearing this, I’ve successfully reduced my allergy symptoms by half.

The mask I get, but… with those goggles, your eyes are just submerged in liquid the whole time… Can you actually see out of that?

My vision is constantly being washed with liquid, so everything’s just sloshing around. Therefore, I request that you hold my hand!

Then let’s check out the UFO Interaction Center together.

A piggyback ride from Yoda, or a soft, beefy hug from Daa is also acceptable!

Gimme a break, would ya.

I don’t mind. I’m already quite used to it.

It must be pretty rough, Netaro-san…

He’s probably half faking it and throwing a tantrum. That little shit even forced Toi to feed him during breakfast…

Oooh~? Is that jealousy I hear? Bitter, are we~?

Well no shit, you sick fuck!!

Ah, forgive me Anisama…! But Netaro-san has some difficulty eating… so I’ll definitely make it up to you at lunch and dinner…!

Let’s go take a look inside for now. Wow, I’m steering the conversation all subhost-like.

(That’s right. When Netaro-kun announced he’d be the main host, Nagi-kun stepped up to become the subhost.)

But y’know, UFOs…

Something on your mind?

Nah, I thought it felt nostalgic. This sure takes me back to when I was a kid.

Get a grip, old man… I bet it’s all some bullshit anyway.

There you go, everyone! Up we go, to the UFO Village~♪

Dammit… I respect the hell outta Raito-san, but I just don’t get his hobbies at all…

That was so much fun~~~!

Wow, space seems so vast… It's so full of mysteries!

I had no idea there were this many UFO sightings… Maybe aliens actually do exist…! What do you think, Anisama?

…

Well, I guess we can’t say for sure that aliens don’t exist at all.

What a complete change of heart! Well, you’re standing next to one technically.

Ah, y-yes. On a cosmic scale, we’re all neighbours. Fwends.

The CIA’s classified documents were interesting too. Of course, we have no idea how much of them is actually true.

For whatever reason, seeing the model of how the UFO looks gets me pretty excited.

Huh, it’s a bit surprising to hear you say that…

You didn’t seem to believe all that stuff about Morozumi-san¹ in Aomori.

Well… You could say that’s the differences between our generations.

…? Anyway! I’m glad everyone had a good time!

I also want to walk around Senganmori Park!

Yeah. Let’s go check it out.

We might even find some hidden messages from outer space.

Shall I quickly scribble some down for everyone?

S-Scri… Scr… Scratch? Is it starting to itch? Where? Okay, I’ll scratch it for you.

Extermination of pollen via nano air blaster: complete. Destruction of the molecular resonance using terahertz waves: complete.

Entry permitted!

I’m here, with my hair all blown back and slightly to the left by this incredibly strong hairdryer.

I’mma check your luggage too, so open sesame! You didn’t bring in any flowers again, did ya?

Mm? What’s this bottle?

Iron supplements. I’m paying attention to my blood levels because of ‘it’.

Dun wanna. The pollen’s prolly all absorbed in your bloodstream by now.

Oh, right…

(Without regularly taking in Earth’s adaptation factors from a donor, I’ll eventually lose the ability to maintain my human mimicry and stay alive.) 

(That’s why I forced this whole donor arrangement relationship with him…) 

Would you want half of my grape-flavored one tooooo?

Mrgm…! *bump*

Woah. What’s up? Whatcha jumpin’ at me like a grasshopper for?

It’s…nothing. Sorry.

(This guy… At first, he was so scared he hid behind Daa, but now that I decided not to do ‘it’ with him, he looks bitter.)

I’d always been the resident weirdo back home, but I’m starting to realize that you’re a hard-core weirdo too.

? Thanks for the compliment.

TV time~ flops onto the bed

Oh, a local commercial. I’ve never seen this one.

Exotic JPN, huh~

Seeing this kind of thing makes me feel like I'm really on vacation. And then it really hits me when I check the weather forecast.

Every corner of Earth is unexplored territory for me!

Come to think of it… why did you pick Fukushima as your study trip location?

Ohh. My assigned operator relayed to me that the UFO Fes’s a place where extraterrestrial lifeforms from across Earth gather and interact.

Ohh… Raito-san said the same thing. So aliens really do gather there.

Weeell, I don’t think there’s anyone as powerful as the ones from my planet though~

My people are the strongest intelligent lifeforms in the universe, having invaded planets one after another.

That’s how we earned the nickname “the Harvesters of Galactic Civilization”!

That makes you sound like farmers. Like you’re out there harvesting rice.

It’s way more than just harvesting rice. A planet like Earth wouldn’t even take us seven days.

Wow~ That’s amazing.

But the moment other extraterrestrial beings interfere, things become a reaaaal pain.

(…Not that I know, since I’ve never actually been on an invasion mission before.)

So that’s why I’m sniffing them out at this UFO Fes.

Ooh.

.........

…...Siiigh.

Hm?

(Gii really is such an idiot… What a total airhead~) 

(Even though I keep talking about invasion this and invasion that—)

Your sense of danger is worse than a deer in headlights! You’d probably get eaten first before Ryooey~

Huh? Who did what now?

I’m thinking ‘bout the first victim of the apocalypse.

Oh… In that case, I might be just the person for the job.

But I’m sure Kafka and Raito-san will develop some incredible thing that will save Earth just in time.

That’s just the protagonist plot armour! So unrealistic~

Then how about this? Imagine if I, the first victim, and everyone else were actually still alive. Wouldn’t that be a good twist?

So you guys just survived in a shelter or something? Booooring!

It’s boring? Then how about we all move to your planet?

That’s even more boring! BLEGHHH PTOOEY!

But…

(In that case, the one most likely to survive would be—)

This is way more fun than when I was thinking ‘bout this by myself!

(I might not really understand what ‘loneliness’ is, but I do understand what ‘having fun’ is!) 

(If…)

(If that day really were to come…)

…Netaro?

…

Oh, are you already sleepy? Let’s get you in the bath—

If the Earth were to end, shall I stay by your side, Gii?

Huh?

…

You’re okay with me?

‘Cause it’d be more fun that way, right…?!

That’s true… Toi and Ryui have each other, Yodaka-san has Yunyun-san, and Buchi-san has PT.

Chief has… his precious family. And of course, Renga, Akuta, Raito-san and everyone else too.

Yep, yep.

Since the end of the world would be the absolute peak of bad luck, I’d probably be separated from Sonia and end up all alone under some rubble…

Mufufu. That sure would be lonely, doesn’t it~?

Wow, I didn’t know my insurance also covered this situation.

So? What do ya think!?

…Yeah, if you don’t mind.

Leave it to me~!
