Kirino Makio gave a wry smile, somewhat helplessly.
After interacting with the "control device," Kirino Makio was able to sense the other party's emotional fluctuations almost constantly.
If Kirino Makio hadn't been an excellent telepath, he probably wouldn't have been able to adapt to the situation of having another personality within him for a while.
"Looks like you and that guy are getting along pretty well?"
This time, it was Lu Xuan's turn to be a little surprised.
No one knew Kirino Makio's personality better than Lu Xuan.
To put it nicely, he's aloof and withdrawn; to put it bluntly, he's a typical person who keeps people at arm's length.
Except in front of a few people like Lu Xuan, Saki, and Daigo, Kirino Makio harbored a deep-seated aversion and disgust towards everyone else.
This mindset stems from his childhood experiences and his superpower to see through people's hearts.
It's a miracle in a sense that the main consciousness of the "control device" was accepted by Kirino Makio so quickly.
"Stop calling it 'that guy,' it has a name..."
Looking at Lu Xuan's incredulous expression, Kirino Makio shrugged slightly.
"You can call it 'Little Trace,' that's the name it gave itself."
"It shares perception with me; it can see what I can see, and I can guess what it thinks."
Sharing senses is one thing, but now Kirino Makio has even shared memories with the consciousness of the "Control Device"...
Such a deep integration was far beyond Lu Xuan's expectations.
Aren't you afraid it has ill intentions?
In response to Lu Xuan's question, Kirino Makio answered frankly.
"That depends on your definition of 'good intentions'."
"I have never believed that humans are beings capable of understanding each other, and I have never opened my heart to anyone."
"It will be the first thing to enter my heart..."
After a slight pause, Kirino Makio slowly continued speaking.
"I want to see if the kind of future that Saki, Daigo, and the others are looking forward to—a future where 'everyone can understand each other'—truly exists."

Chapter 564 End of Volume Special Disaster Team
Three days later, at the headquarters of the Extraterrestrial Alliance.
Over time, the buildings and traces damaged by the Muzhen aliens outside the headquarters have been repaired.
While damaged buildings and traces can be repaired, videos and information already exposed on the internet are not so easily ignored.
Although it has not been explicitly stated, most people believe that the mysterious "extraterrestrial alliance" is hidden in Tokyo, Japan.
This also proves that there are indeed many extraterrestrials from other planets living on Earth today.
These aliens have their own different customs and civilizations, but they all live under the rules and order set for them by TPC.
As TPC had initially predicted, most people felt fear in response.
However, after a brief period of panic, the highly adaptable humans displayed a side that left TPC speechless.
In a very short time, posts and suggestions about making friends with aliens and UFOs on the internet became the focus of attention for the vast majority of netizens.
Some incredibly audacious humans have even begun to follow the trails left by the original Mujin aliens and Sanada Ryosuke, trying to find the true location of the "Extraterrestrial Alliance" headquarters.
................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"So, can anyone tell me what exactly happened?"
Staring angrily at Ryan, Scherna, Lucia, and Zara across from him, Sanada Ryosuke felt his temples throbbing uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the remaining rationality that kept telling himself that this guy in front of him was his partner...
He probably couldn't control his anger and killed the other person directly.
Why did I suddenly receive several disaster and accident liability reports after only recovering from an injury for a period of time?
Why is it that this grinning guy in front of me can so casually talk about how I've gained a few more burdens under my command?
Most importantly, why was this guy able to establish a "special disaster squad" under his own name, specifically responsible for the investigation and reporting of biological disasters?
Have those guys at the top lost their minds?
How could such an outrageous suggestion be approved? And even approved in his own name?
And those idiots from TPC and Victory Team, do they even know what the establishment of this "Special Disaster Squad" really means?
To put it bluntly, once this special team is actually established, the Extraterrestrial Alliance will truly become a "violent law enforcement agency" in the eyes of most aliens.
"Uh, all of this was arranged by Saki, it has nothing to do with me!"
Seeing that Sanada Ryosuke's eyes were becoming increasingly dangerous, Ryan quickly raised his hands to shift the blame.
He truly didn't want Zara and Lucia to continue their wanderings, and he genuinely wanted to help them find a way back to their homeland...
But Ryan swears to God that he absolutely does not have the eloquence to persuade the higher-ups to allow the two of them to join his team.
Not to mention the "Special Disaster Squad," whose duties sound utterly absurd.
"If it's none of your business, then it must be related to you?"
With his gaze shifting from Ryan, Ryosuke Sanada immediately looked at Sheena, who was hiding behind the three of them.
It's obvious without even thinking that of these four people, the only one who could possibly persuade the higher-ups of the Extraterrestrial Alliance is Xuena, who has a close relationship with Saki.
"..."
Some were too scared to look directly into Sanada Ryosuke's eyes.
Unlike Lucia and Zara, who were completely bewildered, Sheena was well aware of the intimidating power that the name Sanada Ryosuke represented.
However, she was also very clear that since the other party had already identified her, they must have some kind of evidence.
Continuing to argue will not only fail to clear his name of suspicion, but will also maximize Sanada Ryosuke's dislike for him.
In order to get Sanada Ryosuke to accept Lucia and Zara as official members of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, Xena demonstrates her wisdom as a top reporter at this moment.
"It's me, that's right!"
After a brief hesitation, Xue Na finally stepped out from behind the three of them, meeting Sanada Ryosuke's scrutinizing gaze.
"It was my suggestion that Lucia and Zara join the Extraterrestrial Alliance..."
"It was I who convinced Saki to make you the captain of the 'Special Disaster Squad'."
"However, I'm not doing this out of selfish motives; it's also to help people like you better integrate into modern human society."
As she spoke, Xue Na became more and more confident. At this point, she even raised her head and looked directly into Sanada Ryosuke's eyes.
"Someone like me?"
With a slight, mocking smile playing on his lips, Sanada Ryosuke asked in a low voice.
"Who are you referring to as 'people like me'?"
"Those unruly scum of the universe?"
"Or are you still dealing with those two troublesome idiots by your side?"
Through the translation device, Sanada Ryosuke's blunt words reached Lucia and Zara's ears directly.
Lucia was alright; she had witnessed Ryosuke Sanada's courage and knew how much effort and sacrifice the Extraterrestrial Alliance had made for her.
So Lucia just lowered her head silently and didn't say anything more.
But Zara was different. Whether it was to protect himself and his sister or simply to maintain his dignity as a male, he inevitably glared at Sanada Ryosuke.
"No, I'm not referring to aliens from other planets."
She reached out to stop Zara, who was looking furious, and walked forward to meet Sanada Ryosuke's scrutinizing gaze.
"I'm talking about beings like you and Ryan who have been persecuted by treacherous aliens..."
“You are neither aliens nor Earthlings, but a group of pitiful people who have lost their sense of belonging and are paying the price for their past mistakes.”
With a strange expression, Ryan stared at Sheena, wanting to say that his true identity was actually that of an alien from another galaxy.
But after thinking about his past experiences and Maya's efforts to prepare for her debut performance, Ryan chose to remain silent.
As for the direct target of Xue Na's verbal attack—Sanada Ryosuke's expression suddenly darkened.
"Are you investigating me?"
Ryosuke Sanada is now truly enraged, as evidenced by the sudden burst of electricity emanating from his body.
No, I didn't investigate you.
"Or rather, I didn't deliberately investigate you..."
She shook her head decisively to indicate her denial; she only wanted to persuade Sanada Ryosuke, not to completely enrage him.
"The person directly in charge of the 'Talent Project,' a survivor of the Ebron Catastrophe, and someone who has engaged in almost 'self-redemption'-like frantic rescue efforts for other Ebron individuals..."
"The clues you left behind are actually more numerous than you imagine; the only difference is that most people don't have the ability to make those connections."
"After all, given that the original body has been confirmed dead, it is indeed difficult for anyone to associate you with Sanada Ryosuke."
To be honest, even Ryan was hearing about Sanada Ryosuke's true identity for the first time, let alone Lucia and Zara, who were standing to the side looking completely bewildered.
"A survivor of the Ebloon catastrophe, a clone of Ryosuke Sanada—that's your true identity, isn't it?"
Staring intently at the silent Sanada Ryosuke across from her, Xue Na understood that his silence itself was a form of acquiescence.
"I know you've been atoning for the mistakes your original self made..."
"But if you want to stop the spread of Ebloon cells on Earth and save other individuals who haven't yet become Ebloon, you need companions."
"You need a group of companions who know you well, and you also need an identity that allows you to openly help other Ebloon individuals."

PS: This volume is now finished. I originally wanted to keep the number of chapters to a minimum, but I ended up writing thirty chapters.
The next volume... the next volume will definitely only have twenty-odd chapters!
I've already thought of the content: I'll bring back the Kirieloids for a limited time, and also give Daigo another upgrade.
Chapter 565 The Yokai of Akihabara
Kanda Shrine in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan.
The history of Kanda Shrine can be traced back to the Edo period.
This place enshrines two of the Seven Lucky Gods: Daikokuten, who governs marriage and abundant harvests, and Ebisu, who is in charge of commerce and fishing.
At the same time, the shrine also enshrines Taira no Masakado, a military commander who rebelled against the Heian period.
Since the beginning of the new millennium, with the popularization and promotion of various network devices, games and comics, this place has gradually become a famous tourist attraction near Akihabara.
Especially now that the Galvin Corporation is vigorously promoting bionic machines, Kanda Shrine has filled its entrance with various anime-style bionic robots.
From Doraemon to magical girls, from Dragon Ball Goku to Mobile Gundam...
Various anime character androids that cater to anime fans have now become a ticket to Kanda Shrine's worldwide fame.
When tourists come to visit, these anime-style androids will proactively approach them and act as guides and facilitators.
When the tourists are ready to leave, the androids will recommend the shrine and Galvin Company's products in their own way.
For example, Doraemon might pull out an electronic version of an IT charm from his pocket...
The magical girl would recommend her mascot, blessed by the gods, to tourists...
Super Saiyan Goku will then bring out his own Master Roshi uniform...
Some of these items are revenue streams from the shrine itself, while others are various technological products that Galvin Corporation has been promoting recently.
Regardless of how effective or easy these things are to use, tourists always accept the items handed to them by various anime-style androids with delighted expressions.
Kanda Shrine has become one of the most popular shrines among young people in Tokyo's shrine community precisely because of its progressive approach and its efforts to change the shrine's traditional image.
