"If we're really going to be honest, I'm your boss. Are you that unwelcoming of me?"
Upon hearing this, Sanada Ryosuke rolled his eyes, and even the black cat on his shoulder seemed to roll its eyes as well.
It is true that Makio Kirino was one of the founders of the Extraterrestrial Alliance.
The problem is, this guy has always been very secretive and rarely interferes with the development of the Extraterrestrial Alliance.
If it weren't for Saki insisting on bringing this guy along on every important occasion, everyone would probably have forgotten about the founder long ago.
“I am a senior agent of the Extraterrestrial Alliance’s Field Operations Department, and I have no direct subordinate relationship with you.”
"Besides, I haven't forgotten about you going to see Sayaka in private."
Although Kirino Makio went to Sayaka to persuade her to stop investigating Ebloon cells.
But Sanada Ryosuke was still very dissatisfied with this guy's unilateral decision-making; he didn't need anyone's charity towards him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't come here to argue with you."
With a helpless shrug, Kirino Makio turned and nodded at Ryan with a smile.
"I'll take care of Mr. Ryan from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Sanada Ryosuke's expression changed abruptly.
Before he could even open his mouth to refute, Kirino Makio cut him off.
"This is 'his' arrangement; you just need to obey!"
With a casual remark, Kirino Makio continued speaking without even glancing at Sanada Ryosuke's expression.
"In addition, the Victory Team has already noticed that you secretly let those Ebloon individuals that do not pose much of a threat go free."
"If you don't want to cause a conflict between the Extraterrestrial League and the Victory Team, then don't do anything out of line anymore."
"I know you're atoning for the Ebloon incident..."
"But sometimes, impulsive good intentions can lead to even more serious consequences."
“In this respect, your black cat sometimes sees things more clearly than you do.”
As if to confirm Kirino Makio's words, the black cat on Sanada Ryosuke's shoulder suddenly licked its paw, inadvertently revealing a hint of cold light.
"..."
Responding silently to Kirino Makio, Sanada Ryosuke remained silent for a long time.
Because he knew that what the other person said was true, and he also knew what kind of bad consequences his impulsive good intentions would bring.
Unfortunately, the Ebloon incident had a profound impact on Ryosuke Sanada.
Leaving aside the fact that the incident nearly destroyed the entire city, and the immense disaster that subsequent governance brought to the entire planet.
When Sanada Ryosuke learned that the Ebloon individuals he considered "experiments" were actually beings with near-human intelligence, the shock and guilt nearly destroyed him.
"I understand, I'll be more careful in the future."
After a long silence, Sanada Ryosuke finally lowered his head sadly, then turned and left the office of the file registration center.

Chapter 316 The Daily Life of the Great Demons (Four Chapters in a Row, Please Subscribe!)
Sixth Avenue, Tokyo, Japan.
"Is it rare for you to appear in this form today?"
Inside the first used goods store at the entrance, Ida Iryu, appearing in his Onimusha form, looked utterly astonished.
This shop was specially reserved by Saki for Lu Xuan.
However, as more and more outliers appeared on Sixth Avenue, Ida Iryu, the acting store manager, became a regular at the used goods store.
Therefore, it is understandable that Jing Tianjinglong was astonished when Lu Xuan appeared in the store in the form of a Gaelic.
"After being human for so long, isn't it normal to occasionally revert to your original race?"
After spending more than half a year together, Lu Xuan and Jing Tianjinglong had already become familiar with each other.
Although Lu Xuan didn't even realize the other party's identity when he first met Jing Tianjinglong, he only knew that this was the Nine-Tailed Lady's former lover.
However, as the deeds of Jing Tianjinglong were gradually discovered,
Lu Xuan then realized that this guy who seemed like a ghost was actually the great swordsman who slew monsters in the TV series while in human form.
"If I remember correctly, weren't you guys discussing how to deal with Sukuna-ki during this time?"
"Neither Nine-Tails nor Ayan are on Sixth Avenue, so why are you the only one who stayed?"
While Lu Xuan and Daigu were dealing with the "Ligadron Incident," several monsters on Sixth Avenue were also busy.
Under the guidance of the great prophet, Makio Kirino.
The group of yokai, led by the powerful Nine-Tailed Lady and the Ida Iryu, had been discussing how to deal with the great yokai, Sukuna-ki, who had been sealed and suppressed by the Ida Iryu.
Ultimately, they decided to search for another powerful demon who had settled in Tokyo—Young Master Ayan.
With the help of the young master Ayan, who was known as the "Shadow Mage," the once-powerful Sukuna Oni was dealt with smoothly without any surprises.
Scenes of a mechanical nine-tailed fox, an Oni warrior, and a shadow mage battling Sukuna Oni...
It was even filmed by local residents and became another front-page headline after the "Ligadlon incident".
However, this is where the problem arises.
Although the three great demons joined forces to defeat the resurrected Sukuna Oni.
But the resentment of Sukuna-giri still lingers in the mountains, waiting to be revived someday.
In order to completely eliminate this hidden danger, they finally met with Kuzuha and his wife, who were imprisoned in the TPC secret prison, through Saki's introduction.
With the help of the Onmyoji couple, a solution was provided to resolve the demon's resentment. Kuzunoha Jiro performed a special exorcism ritual to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of Sukuna Oni's resurrection.
If you calculate the time, this period is exactly the time when Kuzuha Jiro will complete his training and perform the exorcism ritual.
"The true form of Sukuna-ki has been dealt with; all that remains are some lingering resentment."
"With the Nine-Tails protecting him, nothing bad will happen to Jiro."
At this point, Ida Iryu suddenly changed the subject.
"As for Ayan, he's been agonizing over the fact that the streets he's lived in for hundreds of years have been demolished by humans, and now he can't even see the stars at night."
"Although Ms. Saki has promised to help him rebuild the streets and then preserve them as a tourist attraction."
"However, he doesn't seem to trust Miss Saki and insists on meeting you in person."
Upon hearing what Jing Tianjinglong said, Lu Xuan suddenly remembered that there was another reason why Ayan was willing to come out of seclusion to help.
If Lu Xuan remembered correctly, this young master Ayan should have also appeared in the TV series of Ultraman Tiga, but the ending didn't seem to be very happy.
The fact that the Shadow Mage's fate has been changed so inexplicably is somewhat unexpected for Lu Xuan.
After all, given Lu Xuan's current status and position, the reconstruction of a preservation area is hardly a big deal.
"If he wants to see me, just tell him to go directly to the Galvin Group headquarters in Kumamoto City tomorrow."
"I will inform my secretary in advance to accommodate him..."
"Also, since Saki has already agreed to help him rebuild the old streets, you can let Ayan find a construction team and start working on it directly."
"If we really can't find a suitable construction team, we can also have the engineering teams under the Gavin Group carry out the construction."
"As long as Ayan remembers to keep an eye on the construction in a timely manner, that's fine."
"I will coordinate and discuss the subsequent procedures with TPC and the local government to ensure that the construction period is not delayed."
From Lu Xuan's perspective, he couldn't really understand Ayan's obsession with the "past".
As society continues to progress and develop, old things will eventually be eliminated, and trying to preserve them is an outdated and antisocial trend.
Instead of forcibly preserving things that are out of step with the times.
Lu Xuan himself is more inclined to accept and adapt to new changes and developments.
Learning is a lifelong pursuit, and one should always be open to new things; this is the choice Lu Xuan would make.
Nostalgia for the past can simply be kept in one's heart.
Rural streets from hundreds of years ago could never have been more convenient or developed than modern society in the 21st century.
Anyone who lived through that era would never want their descendants to return to a time when transportation relied mainly on walking and communication relied mainly on shouting.
"Haha, Ayan just hasn't adapted to the huge changes in human society yet."
Having lived for hundreds of years, Jing Tianjinglong could easily see through Lu Xuan's thoughts, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Society is developing and times are progressing; this is something everyone knows."
"But not everyone can keep up with the times..."
"Especially for old-timers like me and Ayan who have lived for hundreds of years, it's really too difficult to change and adapt in a short period of time."
"Like I've never understood Jiro, that kid. What's so interesting about him being glued to his phone all day long?"
He let out a rare sigh, and at that moment, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Iida Iryu's face.
"Society can develop and times can progress, but ultimately there are some people who are destined to fall behind the times."
"We old-fashioned folks don't really expect the progress of the times to stop and wait for us..."
"We just hope that even in this rapidly changing new era, there can be some space left for us old-fashioned folks who can't keep up with the times."
"We don't need much, just a little something to remember us by."
Unable to resist blinking, Lu Xuan looked at Jing Tianjinglong, who was also lost in nostalgia for the past, and was speechless for a moment.
He wasn't sure if all elderly people had this mindset.
Or is this a mindset unique to humanoid immortals?
Considering that he would inevitably become one of the immortals in the future, Lu Xuan felt it was necessary to study similar topics in advance.
Lu Xuan has already thought of a title for the research project: On the Influence of "Longevity" on the Individual Mind and Physiological Hormones of Intelligent Beings.

Chapter 317 A Land of Chaos and Demons
A moment later, the door of the secondhand store was slowly pushed open.
Lu Xuan and Jing Tianjinglong, who were chatting, stopped talking in perfect unison.
Hi! Long time no see!
"I've completed the task you assigned me this time. Don't call me again if something like this happens next time."
Without any hesitation, he plopped down next to Jing Tianjinglong.
Kirino Makio skillfully used the tea set beside him and began to slowly brew tea for himself.
Ryan, who was following closely behind him, was still shocked by what he had just seen.
Unlike the outside world, and even unlike the headquarters of the Extraterrestrial Alliance...
In this mysterious place called "Sixth Avenue," strange beings, unlike humans, walk freely on the streets in their original forms.
Along the way, Ryan has seen many non-human species.
A man with horns...
A noblewoman whose hands are wings...
Intelligent mechanical life...
A giant red monster with six arms...
A "brain in a vat" that relies entirely on mechanical assistance for walking...
In less than half an hour, Ryan had truly witnessed what "chaotic chaos" meant.
According to Makio Kirino, apart from a few genuine aliens, the vast majority of them are non-human races hiding on Earth.
