"Those balloon rides that charge money are everywhere. Is there really any need to inspect this so seriously?"
"I think we've been too tense lately. At the slightest disturbance, we connect it to monsters. We really ought to reflect on that."
Hearing this, Kishida also felt that he had been overly jumpy.
Meanwhile, Nagi Saijo asked about the situation, questioning the source of the intense energy.
Yamanaka said, "It's just a balloon ride packed with children. The instruments probably made a false reading. That happens all the time."

What the hell did he mean by "all the time"? Were TPC's instruments really that unreliable?
A balloon ride packed with children had registered intense energy. It didn't feel that simple.

Emi reported the situation:

"At this rate, it may be headed for the Space Development Bureau's high-purity energy reserve base!"
Qi Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Speak of the devil.
A massive flying object descending from the sky and heading straight for the high-purity energy reserve base... It was very likely Jupiter 3, which Emi had just mentioned!

And so, everyone's attention was temporarily drawn to Rigelgon, which was charging toward the new energy development base.
Though Qi Ming was concerned, he could
