Then How Am I Supposed to Get Back to the M78 Nebula!?

"Smack!"

The phone was abruptly hung up.

Jin had a deadpan expression, as if he'd known it all along.

And in front of him.

Kannari Rin and Netero had rather subtle expressions.

"Oh ho ho ho... Ian, you little brat, you really have character..."

Netero stroked his beard and smiled.

Kannari Rin, standing to the side, frowned slightly on her fair and delicate face and said in a deep voice.

"Netero, are all the Hunters in the Hunter Association so undisciplined and disregard orders from their superiors?!"

Upon hearing this...

Netero smiled, glanced at her, and shook his head.

"Ian is not a member of the Hunter Association; in fact, he hasn't even taken the Hunter Association's exam..."

Upon hearing this, Kannari Rin felt a tightness in her chest.

He didn't know how to say the rest, and frowned as he looked at Jin.

If Kim hadn't repeatedly emphasized it...

That boy named Ian's Nen Ability is enough to handle this situation, so she wasn't going to come along. She didn't expect that Jin would be turned away.

"Never mind!"

"I'll arrange for someone to call that boy!"

"If you're not qualified to invite him, then V5 can issue an order to send him over to assist with the work, and provide him with adequate compensation. Surely that's acceptable!"

Upon hearing this, Kim and Netero exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

Kannari Rin frowned, feeling offended, and said with a serious expression on her delicate face.

What are you laughing at?

"N-nothing... it's just that I feel hopeless..."

"No... I should say, there's absolutely no way that child would agree to come over just because of something like this."

After all.

Both Netero and King had some idea of what Ian had done in Ejin City.

They might not say it's outright lawlessness.

He's at least a rebellious guy; even if it's an order from V5, it's unlikely they could control him!

Kannari Rin didn't believe it.

Born in the United States of Mito, she couldn't understand how anyone could dare disobey V5's orders.

Even if the other party is a Nen user...

But he's just a mere fourteen-year-old prodigy!?

Even in the Exorcism Team.

They all have such geniuses.

She greeted the Exorcism Team under her command, and soon a special cell phone was handed to her. She immediately pressed the number that Jin Fa had given her with her slender fingers and dialed it.

"Ring ring..."

A bell rang.

As soon as the call was connected, Kannari Rin spoke seriously.

"This is the temporary operations command center under V5. I am the person in charge Kannari Rin!"

"If you don't believe me, you can check your phone number for incoming calls. It will have the logo of a special government agency; no one would dare to impersonate you."

On the other end of the phone.

"Mmm... Go on, I'm listening."

"Now, as a Nen user, you have been temporarily conscripted by V5."

"We'll arrange Airship to pick you up in Ejin City. If you want any compensation, you can talk to me now, or... we can talk about it after you arrive. But I hope you understand that V5's orders cannot be refused!"

"Mmm... Go on, I'm listening."

Hearing the boy's uniquely childish voice on the other end of the phone, Kannari Rin frowned.

Is this the child Jin was referring to?

Is he stupid?

She frowned slightly and said seriously.

What kind of compensation are you hoping to receive?

She never even considered that the other party might refuse, and went straight to discussing compensation.

"I want a spaceship..."

"Universe... what?"

Kannari Rin's eyes widened, unsure if she had misheard.

"A spaceship, huh?" came the boy's matter-of-fact voice from the other end of the phone.

Kannari Rin, her pretty face dark, said in a deep voice.

"What is that? It's not here. Name your fair compensation!"

You don't even have a spaceship?

"But... without it, how am I supposed to get back to the M78 Nebula!? Earth is dangerous, I need to go back to Mars!!"

Kim and Netero exchanged a glance.

They are visible to the naked eye.

The woman's pretty face instantly flushed red, like a boiling lobster, steam rising from her head, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and her fair hands gripped the phone so tightly it made a "crackling" sound!

Are you kidding me!?

"Young man... do you know who you're talking to!?"

She angrily questioned him through the phone.

As a result, an even more agitated question came from the other end of the phone.

"Whose dialogue do you think you're receiving? It's a dialogue from the Heavenly Gods!!"

That's what I meant.

Instead, it startled her, her delicate body trembling slightly. She slammed down the phone, laughing angrily.

"Heh... This is outrageous! Really... Just a Nen user dares to treat V5 like this!"

"Damn it... damn brat!"

"King, Netero, is this the kind of brat you want to work with us!?"

"You guys think our job is really funny, don't you?"

"Our work carries the weight of life and death for this nation and indeed for all humanity, and you..."

She pointed at Netero, then at Kim, and said angrily.

"Completely useless!"

Jin was caught in the crossfire, looking utterly helpless.

Their hearing was quite good, so they naturally heard Ian's teasing words on the other end of the phone, leaving them speechless.

I never realized this kid had such a wicked sense of humor.

Jin frowned, seemingly unconcerned about what Kannari Rin had said in anger, and spoke up.

"President, that child seems to have been in contact with you before..."

Netero nodded in agreement.

"It was just a chance encounter. That brat's Nen Ability is quite something; he gave this old man a very exciting battle."

Jin was somewhat surprised to hear this.

After all.

That kid Ian used Netero's Nen Ability perfectly.

But... was the condition for the ability to copy fulfilled through just a chance encounter?

Even in Jin's eyes, it was somewhat unbelievable.

"Or, Chairman, could you try calling again?"

Looking at Kannari Rin, whose eyes were wide open like a Rabbit's, red and full of murderous intent, she saw...

Even Netero was somewhat helpless and could only make the phone call.

"Ring ring..."

The phone rang.

Located at the Sharku Manor.

"Ian, the phone is ringing again. This time it doesn't seem to be the same number as before. Should we answer it?" Nobunaga pointed to the cell phone on the table next to him and asked.

Ian, wearing a [Superpower Hat], was floating in mid-air. Upon hearing this, he grinned and laughed.

"Answer it! Why aren't you answering it!"

"I wonder whose call it is this time."

"If only it were that old lady again! She had such a fierce tone, daring to threaten me with her 'V5'! Humph, does she think I'm easily intimidated? I'll make her furious!"

A thought arose.

The phone slowly floated to his front, Ian lay there leisurely with his legs crossed in mid-air.

Without even moving his hand, the phone answer button was pressed out of thin air.

"Hello, this is the Ultraman Call Center. Where are the monsters rampaging? I'm sending Tiga to save them..."

Ian answered the phone first, speaking casually and leisurely.

He laughed at himself for saying it; sometimes, the feeling of making things up can be quite amusing.

"Hehehe, Ian, sometimes I just don't understand your young people's humor..."

Ian was taken aback when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

She sat up, somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh, it's Netero. I was just joking, don't mind him..."

"Ian, I have a small favor to do. Kim just spoke to him on the phone."

"Hey, President, are you speaking? My signal seems a bit weak. Hey, President, are you still there?"

Hearing Ian's perfunctory reply, Netero responded.

"The monsters in these Ruins are constantly evolving. We're currently blocked at Ruins entrance. If we let it continue, this crisis might engulf the entire country. Ian, we really need your abilities."

Hearing Netero's serious words.

"Um... I'll think about it some more, President."

Ian was also a bit troubled. He was still too concerned about his image, and often it was difficult for him to refuse people he knew.

Is it fate?

I just won the [Anywhere Door] in the lottery at noon today, and that guy Jin already contacted me.

No wonder he's the protagonist's father; he's got great luck too!
