"Captain..." Especially when they looked at a certain hot-blooded—no, tearful—guy. "So, so you were carrying such an enormous responsibility. You're Earth's last hope. Whether it's Gorilla Star or Mayonnaise Star, the Captain has been watching over them all along..."
Utaha Kasumigaoka: "..."
They believed him? These guys—cough, these trainees—were at least older than Sogo, weren't they? And they actually believed Sogo-kun's nonsense?
Come to think of it, why would aliens come to an old-fashioned dojo like this instead of somewhere else? Shouldn't aliens go somewhere that looked brimming with technology at a glance? Even a private residence would have been better than this retro-style place...
Utaha Kasumigaoka felt she had countless things to mock. Setting aside the retro style, what was that about Sogo-kun bearing such an immense responsibility? If this guy really were Earth's last hope, she swore on Umaru's save file that this planet was probably doomed. Besides, wasn't this a place he had stayed at as a child?
If that Vice Commander really was an alien, did that mean he had borne Earth's fate since childhood? There was no way!
"Not watching. Communicating..." Sogo Doma never doubted the intelligence of most Kondo Group members. After all, many of them had not even finished elementary school. It would have been one thing if they had received enough beatings from society, but ever since joining the Kondo Group, aside from Hijikata's training, most of them had never directly faced the dangers of society.
There was no denying that they could fight well—after all, they had been trained by a training fanatic like Hijikata. Their daily habits were excellent too—again, because of Hijikata. But when it came to studying... even Hijikata himself was at a loss.
Otherwise, why would Hijikata have wanted some of the members to return to school?
