"I'm sorry, Captain. I have tried to search the voidstone but I couldn't find it" Serenia's face was looking disappointed.
Penrar just sat silently at his metallic desk, closed his eyes. He took a glass jar full of some kind of candy nearby.
"This is not good" Penrar sighed.
"I think someone from the neighbourhood has already taken it" Serenia said.
"Maybe you're right" Penrar nodded slowly.
"Could that person who found the voidstone already planned sell it someone else?" Serenia asked in worryness.
"Let's hope not, it'll become a worse situation if the voidstone is misused" Penrar replied.
"And one more thing, captain" Serenia said again.
"What?" Penrar raised his eyebrows.
"We need to buy new scanning tools, the old ones are already outdated" Serenia requested.
"But we still can use it, right?" Penrar said.
"Captain, it's no use if it kept repairing it yet it's still not malfunctioning" Serenia frowned.
"Alright, alright, I'll think about it first" Penrar changed his mind.
Soon, Aspendor then rushed inside the captain's office. The expression on his face was looking panic.
"Captain! We got a bad news!" Aspendor shouted. "Another spaceship just crashed nearby our location!"
"What!?" Serenia and Penrar were shocked.
"Did another research team just got attacked?" Serenia was uneasy of the situation.
"I'm not sure about it, but the signal of this spaceship is different from any research teams from our planet" Aspendor said.
"Give me the coordinate, we'll go there immediately!" Penrar quickly raised from his seat.
...
"...Forty five, forty six, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine, fifty"
Enmu already counted all of fifty sheeps in the picture, yet his eyes were still not sleep. The railroad geek needs to wake up early tomorrow, he has a wedding ceremony to attend by 10AM.
"Beep! Beep!"
Enmu heard his phone ringing. It was Douma who called him.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Enmu!" Douma greeted him.
"Excuse me, why are you calling me in 2AM?" Enmu sighed in annoyance.
"I'm just bored" Douma pouted.
"Listen, pal, if you're bored then I suggest you to play any mobile games instead" Enmu replied.
"But I want to ask you something" Douma said.
"What's it?" Enmu was impatient.
"Will your girlfriend happy if you kissed a girl in front of her?" Douma asked.
"What kind of question is that?" Enmu narrowed his eyes before he ended the call.
That was the 20th time Douma called him in 2AM.
"Okay now where are we?" Enmu's eyes now focused on the picture.
"Beep! Beep!"
Enmu's phone was ringing again. And Douma was calling him again, much to his chagrin.
"Hello?"
"You still not answering my question yet" Douma said with a sad tone.
"No, thanks. I'm not answering it, good night" Enmu then ended the call for the second time. He then shut off his phone.
"Now that's better" Enmu muttered as he put his phone back on the bedside table.
...
Most of the people in Earth believed that only Earth is inhabited by humans. But that was actually wrong.
Earth is not the only planet inhabited by humans. There are also humans living in another planets. There are countless of stories and histories about them been recorded by the scholars and historians back in Serenia's home planet.
Penrar's eyes were focused on a strange symbol on the recently crashed spaceship. It's the insigna of Confederacy of Erion, a human nation from an Earth-like planet in Sirius System.
"That insignia, I think I have seen it in a book before" Serenia said.
"That was the insignia of Erion if i'm not wrong" Penrar said.
"What does the Erionians doing here?" Serenia was suspicious of their presence.
"First, we have to deal with the humans on Earth and now, the Erionians are coming here, not good" Aspendor frowned.
"What should we do now, Captain?" Serenia asked.
"We need to get inside the ship and look if there are any survivors" Penrar ordered.
"Why we must help them? They might have planning to attack us" Aspendor was distrustful of his captain's orders.
"We still don't know about their real intentions in Earth yet" Penrar replied as he climbed the spaceship.
"I'm just stating that we must be careful, captain" Aspendor was worried.
"Just follow the captain's orders, Aspendor" Serenia reprimanded.
"Fine, fine" Aspendor rolled his eyes.
Soon, Aspendor and Serenia then climbed the spaceship.
"Now time to get them out of here" Penrar smashed the roof with only one fist.
...
Aoi and Kanao were walking inside the classroom. The duo just returned from the biology room after helping Kochou-sensei cleaned the room.
"Look at this!"
Inosuke just held something on his hand. It's a dark purplish rare gemstone about the size of an acorn. Zenitsu, Tanjirou and Ume were seen gathered nearby him.
"Eh? Inosuke, what's that?" Aoi was curious when her eyes spotted the gemstone on Inosuke's hand.
"Look, Aoko! I found this shiny thing yesterday!" Inosuke showed Aoi the gemstone.
"Where did you find it?" Kanao asked in curiousity.
"I just found it in Suzamo-san's backyard" Inosuke grinned.
"Did you mean Suzuma-san?" Tanjirou corrected.
"You sneaked inside Suzuma-san's backyard!?" Zenitsu was shocked.
"Inosuke, that's wrong! You can't just sneak inside someone's backyard and simply take anything in there!" Aoi scolded.
"Aoi is right, Inosuke. I think you better give it back to Suzuma-san" Tanjirou was worried.
"No! I just found a pirate booty! Why must I give it back!?" Inosuke refused.
POW!
Aoi just gave a whack on Inosuke's head.
"Aoko, that hurts!" Inosuke screamed in pain.
"This is not some kind of pirate-themed RPG game, Inosuke!" Aoi closed her eyes in anger, clenched her fist.
Well, don't blame us if you got choked by that scary witch on your bed in 3AM" Zenitsu tried to scare the boar boy away.
"Do you think I'm scared, Monitsu!?" Inosuke shouted.
"But if we think again, why there's a gemstone inside Suzuma-san's backyard?" Kanao was curious.
"I think a group of robbers just hide inside her backyard a few days ago and then Suzuma-san chase them away with her M16" Ume speculated.
"Did she bought her M16 from eBay?" Inosuke asked.
"They don't sell weapons at eBay, Inosuke" Zenitsu frowned.
Just as the students talked with each other, Tanjirou then glanced at the window. His eyes just spotted a fluffy white cloud shaped like a flying saucer like those he saw in sci-fi movies.
