"Who sent the fax?" Sei Itō looked at Suzu Ito, who was standing in front of the phone waiting for the paper to be completely spat out, and asked curiously.
"It's from the Ministry of Environment." Suzu Ito glanced at the caller ID and answered.
"Oh? What does it say? "When he heard that it was a fax from the Ministry of Environment, Sei Itō became even more curious.
"Let me see …" Suzu Ito picked up the paper that was completely spat out and looked down. Then, her expression slightly froze. While holding the paper, she turned around and walked to Sei Itō, and said in a low voice, "The monsters have landed on the coast of Australia."
When she walked to Sei Itō, she reached out and handed the fax to him.
"Tsk." Sei Itō, who reached out to take the fax and looked down at the content, grinned and clicked his tongue.
"A place like Australia, if there is no external assistance, it will definitely not be able to stop the invasion of those monsters," Sei Itō, who finished reading the contents of the paper, curled his lips and said as he threw it aside.
"But it has nothing to do with us for the time being. As long as those monsters don't come to our door, we don't have to pay attention to them," Sei Itō continued.
"Sigh, how long has it been since the peaceful days, it's really …" Suzu Ito shook her head slightly and sighed.
"It's easy to live a peaceful life. After you break through, you can go back there. By then, you can live a peaceful life for as long as you want," Sei Itō said with a smile.
Suzu Ito first rolled her eyes at Sei Itō, then she also laughed.
The two of them were relieved. But the Australian government was troubled by the monsters. Almost on the same day that the monsters landed, all the cities along the coast of Australia fell, and they quickly went deep into the Australian inland without stopping. Seeing this, the Australian government, in addition to sending the few experts and cannon fodder troops recruited by their subordinates to face the enemy, had no choice but to take out the national treasury after a high-level discussion and issue a request for help to the Bounty Union.
The bounty union's response to this kind of national big deal was very fast. On the day they received the order, they first issued a task order to some specific members, asking them to immediately go to Australia to resist the invasion of monsters. At the same time, he changed the mission format to an unrestricted emergency mission. It was announced to all registered members with monetary rewards and special items as rewards.
Since they were registered members of the Bounty Guild, they were naturally not people who knew their place. Stimulated by the dazzling amount of money or tempting special items, they excitedly accepted the mission and flew to Australia under the unified arrangement of the Bounty Union.

However, these people were either from the middle and lower levels or from the upper echelons who were not well-informed. For those who knew about the horrors of these monsters through other means, they were all shocked. The rewards offered by the Bounty Union were tempting. However, it was still not worth it for them to risk their lives for it. They all looked at the people who were rushing to accept the mission with a mocking expression, secretly mocking them for being reckless.
Just like that. With the sudden support of the Bounty Union, the monster's invasion of Australia was slightly slowed down. However, in the absence of a master who could make the final decision, this kind of support was still a bit weak. Soon, a group of monsters led by a powerful monster commander broke through and finally completely occupied Australia.
However, less than a day after Australia was occupied by monsters, a large number of humanoid monsters began to appear in the monster community that was originally only filled with animal-type monsters. Then these monsters that suddenly became organized used Australia as a springboard and began to invade Southeast Asia!
At the same time, just as the world's attention was focused on Australia and Southeast Asia, a large group of monsters that looked like fish but were not fish, reptiles but were not reptiles, landed on the coast near South America during the night and launched an attack on South America.

"It's rare for you to take the initiative to ask me out today." That afternoon, in a stylish private room, Sei Itō looked at Mai Kuraki, who was sitting across from him. Mai Kuraki was wearing a white double-necked short-sleeved hooked sweater with a black bra faintly visible. Her slightly wavy brown hair was naturally spread out.
"I can't help it. It's because a certain someone is always lecherous. It's scary." Mai Kuraki did not back down.
"That's because a certain someone is too attractive." Sei Itō stretched out his hands and shrugged helplessly.
Mai Kuraki, who didn't know how to refute, rolled her eyes at Sei Itō and retreated.
"Do you want to order something?" Sei Itō picked up the red leather menu on the table and opened it.
"Not yet."
"What do you want to eat?" Sei Itō asked as he flipped through the menu.
"Wait a moment, someone else is coming." Mai Kuraki stopped Sei Itō from ordering.
"So you didn't specially ask me out for a date." Sei Itō put the menu back on the table and pretended to be disappointed. Then, Sei Itō asked curiously, "Who else is coming later?"
"Chuyin, whom you met last time, and two of her friends," Mai Kuraki explained.
"Eh?" Sei Itō made a sound of surprise. The high-quality update is here.
"I'm not sure about the details. Chuyin only asked me to ask you out." Mai Kuraki replied as if it had nothing to do with her.
"I see … I remember that Okumura has my number. Why didn't she call me directly?" Sei Itō nodded and then muttered to himself in confusion.
"After all, Chuyin only met you once, and she's a girl. Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you?" Mai Kuraki took the opportunity to mock him.
"Alright, you're right." Sei Itō said helplessly.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye as the two of them chatted. Just as Sei Itō and Mai Kuraki were about to finish the juice in their cups, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.
"Please come in." Mai Kuraki looked at the door and said loudly.
"Clack!" After she said that, there was a soft sound. Okumura Chuyin, whom Sei Itō had met once, and two other girls of similar age to her walked into the room with a polite "sorry for disturbing."
Then, as the middleman between the two parties, Okumura Chuyin introduced Sei Itō, Mai Kuraki, and the two girls to each other.
"This is Maeda Atsuko." After introducing Ito Seiji and Kuraki Mai, Okumura Hatsuon pointed at the woman beside her. She was wearing a white tight-collared sleeveless sweater and a black short skirt. She had a round face, big eyes, and black shoulder-length black hair. She was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and she looked very intellectual and beautiful.
"This is Itano Tomomi." Then. Okumura Chuyin pointed to the girl beside Maeda Atsuko. She was wearing a light pink off-the-shoulder top with a white long-sleeved shirt, paired with a red and yellow pleated skirt and a pair of open-toed sandals. Oval face. Big eyes. When she smiled, she showed a small canine tooth. She had wavy long hair like Mai Kuraki's.
"Please take care of us." Maeda Atsuko and Itano Tomomi greeted in unison.
"Everyone, take a seat." Mai Kuraki, who was a senior in the circle, greeted them.
Then, everyone sat down with Sei Itō and Mai Kuraki on one side of the long table, while Okumura Chuyin, Maeda Atsuko, and Itano Tomomi sat on the other side. Then, they called for the waiter. They officially ordered the dishes.
After ordering and waiting for the dishes to be served, Sei Itō looked at Okumura Chuyin and asked, "I heard from Mai Kuraki that Okumura is looking for me this time?"
"Ah, ah, yes." Okumura Chuyin quickly replied, then explained, "Actually, it's not that I'm looking for you, it's that Tomomi has something to ask you."
"Oh?" Sei Itō looked at Itano Tomomi with a puzzled expression.
"Yes." Itano Tomomi smiled embarrassedly and explained, "I've been having bad luck recently. It's as if I'm possessed by the God of Misfortune. Almost everything I do is not going well. Coincidentally, I met Chuyin two days ago and complained to her. Chuyin told me that she met a very powerful person some time ago and that he might be able to help me …"
Hearing this, Okumura smiled at Sei Itō embarrassedly.
"What about you? Are you the same? "Sei Itō smiled back at Okumura Chuyin, then looked at Maeda Atsuko and asked.
"Me? No, no, I'm fine. I'm just accompanying Tomomi to give her courage. "Maeda Atsuko quickly shook her head and explained with a smile.
"Courage?" Sei Itō and Mai Kuraki asked curiously.
"Because I heard that we'll be meeting Kuraki-senpai, I'm a little uncertain, so I called Tsunko-chan over." Itano Tomomi replied embarrassedly.
"Am I that scary?" Mai Kuraki pretended to be depressed and asked.
"No, no …" Itano Tomomi hurriedly replied. Then, there was a burst of friendly laughter in the room.
"In other words, you want to change your luck right?" After the laughter, Sei Itō looked at Itano Tomomi again and said.
"Yes." Itano Tomomi replied with a serious expression.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Sei Itō carefully looked at Itano Tomomi. Using his Spiritual Eye, he found that there was indeed an unlucky aura coiling around her face, covering her Fated Star. Clearly, this was the crux of the problem.
"Tell me your birthday. I want the exact time, the kind that's when you were young." After a while, Sei Itō looked away and asked.
Itano Tomomi immediately told Sei Itō her date of birth. Of course, Itano Tomomi followed the Japanese custom of reporting her royal name. Sei Itō had no choice but to change the date of birth to the Western calendar. Then, he compared the Western calendar with China's Perpetual Calendar and the Four Pillars of Year, Month, Day, and Time.
During this process, Mai Kuraki, Hatsuon Okumura, and Atsuko Maeda all held their breaths and focused their attention on Sei Itō.
"That's enough." Sei Itō said, "After the meal, follow me back to the shrine and cleanse yourselves."
"Okay." Itano Tomomi agreed.
Seeing that the official business was finished, Sei Itō's group of five began to chat aimlessly. Then, in the middle of the conversation, someone suddenly brought up the topic of news about monsters on the internet. Since then, the topic revolved around monsters and the monster incident that broke out in Japan a year and a half ago.
"Do you know what those monsters are?" Mai Kuraki suddenly looked at Sei Itō and asked. When this question was asked, Hatsuon Okumura, Itano Tomomi, and Atsuko Maeda all stopped talking and looked at Sei Itō together.
"I know." Sei Itō curled his lips and said.
"Ah!?" Mai Kuraki and the other three exclaimed in unison.
"I can't tell you the details, but if there's nothing else, it's better to stay in Japan. The outside world isn't safe." Sei Itō shrugged and didn't go into details.
"Then, will those monsters appear in Japan? Just like last time! I saw on the internet that those monsters have already occupied parts of Indonesia and South America. They're continuing to move to Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. "Atsuko Maeda quickly asked.
"That depends on the specific situation. If the monsters continue to move on their current path, they'll probably be defeated in India and China. But if the monsters change their direction midway, it's hard to say. Maybe after a while, they'll land in Shikoku and Kyushu. "Sei Itō frowned and explained.
"Ah!" Mai Kuraki, Hatsuon Okumura, Atsuko Maeda, and Itano Tomomi all exclaimed in unison when they heard Sei Itō's words.
"Okay, you're not exaggerating, right?" Mai Kuraki, who has been through a lot, said in disbelief.
"Well, this is just my opinion. The specific situation still depends on the actions of the countries around the world. If the action is fast enough, it's not impossible to completely eliminate the monsters before they land. "Sei Itō shrugged indifferently.
"But I have to remind you that these words are only for us to say. Don't spread it out. Otherwise, it won't be good if people from the Ministry of Defense and the police come." Then, Sei Itō reminded them.
"We're not stupid." Mai Kuraki rolled her eyes at Sei Itō and said.
But with Sei Itō's reminder, they stopped talking about monsters and changed the topic to other things. It's just that the atmosphere at this time was not as lively as before, and it seemed a little depressing.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly ate, paid the bill, and left the club together. They drove to the Ito Shrine in Akikuruno City.
More than half an hour later, Sei Itō and his group of five arrived at the Ito Shrine and saw Suzu Ito, who was idling in the shrine.
"Hey, little brother, you're good. You even hooked up with a big star without saying anything." Seeing the faces of Mai Kuraki, Hatsuon Okumura, Atsuko Maeda, and Itano Tomomi, Suzu Ito, who is familiar with celebrity gossip, quietly walked to Sei Itō's side and whispered in his ear, "And there's more than one …"
