"Oh! Yes! Look at my brain!!!"
Minister Native slapped his thigh in annoyance and sighed in realization, "Oh, I have been working overtime a lot recently in order to pay housing subsidies to Chiba Prefecture's gang of uncles! I'm so busy that my memory has deteriorated! I even forgot about such a big thing as the TLT officers coming to inspect today!"
The dignified Native Race leader didn't even have time to think too much. He quickly adjusted his tie skillfully, put on a "respectful and loyal subordinate" face, and hurried towards the high-level conference room.
At the same time.
On the top floor of the building, there is a top-level top-secret conference room with the curtains tightly closed.
The faces of several TLT executives sitting at the conference table, including TLT-J's executive officer Matsunaga Yoichiro, were even gloomier than the dim room!
"What on earth... is going on?"
Matsunaga The management officer stared at the pile of documents on the desktop, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down his chin and fell on the table.
As an absolutely secret agency that specializes in dealing with [Space Beast] and takes "erasing the memory of human witnesses and preventing the spread of panic" as its highest purpose.
As soon as they opened their eyes this morning, these senior executives felt a sense of violation!
"Is this planet... really the Earth we have been protecting?"
A senior staff officer next to him swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Matsunaga Management Officer, according to the report just sent back by the "Memory Police" department..."
The staff officer took several screenshots of today's <Tokyo Morning News> and a bunch of network Twitter, and slapped them on the table in a state of collapse:
"Last night, we detected the vital signs of Space Beast at the Okutama Mountains. But just two seconds later, the vital signs of Space Beast completely disappeared!"
"This is nothing! The most outrageous thing is..."
The staff officer pointed to a high-definition color close-up photo of "Fifty Meters Red and Silver Light Giant" in the newspaper, and he almost went crazy:
"Last night in the mountains, several primary school students actually witnessed the whole process! Not only were they not frightened out of their minds by Space Beast! They were even extremely excited to find the giant who destroyed Space Beast... and ask for his autograph?!!"
"Not only that! When our Memory Police arrives at the scene and prepares to erase the memories of those brats according to the rules..."
The staff officer's expression had become distorted into a ridiculous shape. "Our Memory Police was actually surrounded by a group of ordinary citizens who rushed out from nearby! Not only were the citizens not afraid, they also pulled them with great enthusiasm and asked: "Are you also here to worship the god?"
"..."
Listening to this extremely outrageous report, the Matsunaga manager and the TLT executives present collectively fell into silence for two and a half minutes.
In their original understanding.
Space Beast feeds on human fear. So in order to prevent Space Beast from multiplying indefinitely, they TLT must cover up the truth about all monster attacks!
Any witness must be brainwashed! The tone of this land should be one of depression and heavy burden walking forward in darkness!
"You tell me..."
Matsunaga Manager rubbed his temples that were beating wildly with difficulty. "Not only are these humans not afraid, they even regard that kind of supernatural creature that is more than fifty meters tall as an idol? Why do they even want autographs?!"
"That's not all, sir!"
Another intelligence officer added, "... the citizens of Chiba Prefecture were happily celebrating receiving the government's reconstruction subsidy because their houses were trampled down by Monster!!!"
"Crazy..."
Matsunaga Management Officer slumped weakly on the leather seat, his eyes lost their brightness.
"No, there seems to be something wrong. Was it like this before?"
If all human beings are not afraid of Monster, and even regard Monster as fun to watch theaters and lottery tickets to make money, then what is the meaning of existence of these [TLT Defense Force] who suffer every day and are committed to erasing their memories?!
Just then.
"Duh, duh, duh."
The door to the conference room was knocked politely.
"Come in."The Matsunaga manager forcibly tidied up his appearance and restored his cold poker face.
The door opens.
Native Minister Native came in with a briefcase in hand, a smile on his face that could even be called a "flattery" workplace standard, and Earth Flow respectfully.
"Commanders of TLT! Good morning!"
Minister Native skillfully made a 90-degree bow. "I am the minister of the Disaster Response Department! This is the first time we meet. I have been working overtime recently and was unable to go downstairs to greet the superiors at the first time. Please forgive me, superiors!"
Looking at the subordinate minister in front of him with a smile on his face and even a strong aura of "social animals beating workers".
Matsunaga management officer and other senior TLT officials were once again at a loss.
In their memories, shouldn't government agencies be filled with extremely dark power struggles and bureaucracy? Why does this minister look so enthusiastic and humble, and it even feels like he can kneel down and shine their shoes at any time in order to keep his job?
"... Ahem. Are you the person in charge of the Disaster Response Department?"
The Matsunaga manager coughed and asked tentatively, "How does your department deal with the "Light Giant" and giant monsters that have appeared frequently recently?"
I heard the superior ask about this "point-sending question".
Native Minister was overjoyed. He was keenly aware that these airborne black-clothed officers had just arrived and must not have understood the glorious "excellent traditions" of their department!
"We must convey the good style of our department to our superiors!"
Native Minister roared violently in his heart.
Later, under the extremely expectant gazes of the TLT executives, Minister Native pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with great righteousness, and threw out their Disaster Response Department "Supreme Action Guidelines":
"Report sir! The highest principle of our department is..."
"As long as Lord God... cough! As long as Light Giant is present! Our people will never move! They will never fire a single shot! They are only responsible for setting up a cordon on the outside, handing out leaflets to the citizens, and then, after Monster is killed, go up and sweep the floor as quickly as possible!"
Minister Native proudly patted his chest. "Sir, don't worry! Our department is extremely professional in terms of land washing and reconstruction subsidies! All of our employees are top ten moral models! Absolutely, absolutely will not cause Light Giant any trouble!!!"
"..."
"..."
Looking at the head of a subordinate department in front of me, he proudly said "catching fish, washing the floor, and hugging Ultraman's thigh" in such a fresh and refined way.
Matsunaga Manager and all TLT executives present felt a strange tearing feeling deep in their brains.
In their original memories deeply rooted in their souls, the world should be full of despair, and human beings should be powerless and fearful in the face of Space Beast.
But at this moment, I looked at the extremely dazzling post-disaster report of [Civilian Casualties: 0] [Urban Reconstruction Satisfaction: 100%] in my hand, and then looked at the citizens outside the window who were enjoying themselves and even cheered because Monster fell.
"Strange..."
Matsunaga Manager rubbed his temples irritably and frowned. "Why do I always feel that... this picture of humans treating supernatural creatures as idols has an indescribable weirdness? It seems like something is wrong..."
A senior staff officer next to him also shook his head, pushed up his glasses, and his tone became more matter-of-fact. "Manager, you may be too tired from work recently. Light Giant protects the earth, we are responsible for the aftermath, and the citizens live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't this the norm all the time? There is no problem."
"...too."
