Here's chapter 53. In this chapter they focus on the characters of Sonic. But there will be brief appearances by characters from Beastars, Aggretsuko, and Zootopia.
The four cars arrived at an area where there were several buildings similar to any other in the city, but what was most striking was that there was a section where there were no high-rise structures, but a smaller one which had several trees around it giving an aspect of a country house. The residence had several solar panels installed and a rainwater storage system had also been designed to minimize environmental impact. The place was 5 floors and 35 meters high. It also had 25,000 m² of floor area and 46,000 m² in the grounds. That was the place where the cars were going, the mobians assumed that was where the meeting would take place, although it was not what they imagined it would be when they got into the cars, but none could complain.
Once the cars reached the perimeter of the building, they stopped and the drivers showed their IDs to security there. After that, the cars started again and did not stop again until they finally stopped in the parking lot. Once they got out of the parking lot, the four bodyguards led them into the building. Once inside, the bodyguards told mobians to take off the clothes that they had lent them in order to come, when they were going to leave they could put them back on. That part made Knuckles and Shadow feel a momentary joy at not having to wear those ridiculous costumes for the time being, though they didn't like the idea of wearing them again. After that, the group went to the place where they were waiting for them.
They finally stopped in front of a door, which was the prime minister's office, one of the bodyguards opened the door. The mobians entered and behind them the four bodyguards who came with them. Then the door closed. There in the office sat the prime minister at a desk. On each side of him was a bodyguard, one of whom was Gouhin, who at that moment was not wearing the same clothes he had on the day he met the mobians, instead he was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, black pants, black shoes, a black jacket, a black tie and dark glasses; same clothing that the other bodyguard was wearing, although Gouhin on his left arm was still wearing the same communicator that Tails had given him a few days ago.
The prime minister looked at each of the new arrivals, they were all exactly the same as he saw them on the news, although he was still a little curious to which species Cosmo and Flora belonged, since they did not resemble anything he had seen before. He also stared at Shadow, Rouge, Rutan, Silver and Jewel whom he hadn't seen before, he didn't even know that there were more mobians besides the ones he had already seen. Another question also came to his mind, and it was why the mobians, specifically the boys, did not wear clothes or were half dressed, unlike the girls who were fully dressed. He though he didn't ask any questions about it,as he didn't want to seem rude about their how they dressed or their lack of clothing.
"First of all, I want to welcome you to my home, and I want to thank you for having defended those people who were in danger that day," said the prime minister, standing up and bowing his head.
The mobians responded by bowing their heads as well.
"You're welcome sir, it's our duty to protect the innocent" Sonic replied on behalf of everyone.
"I'm glad there are people who deal with those kinds of problems. I have been informed of where you come from and what you are looking for. And also your attempts to stop your enemy. I am also aware that you have had to live in hiding for the three months you have been in this dimension. I'm right, true?" the prime minister said.
"Yes sir, you are correct" Tails answered.
"Well, there is something that I have been thinking about these days, but it will only proceed if you accept what I am going to propose, of course you are not obliged to do so if you do not want to. But many of the citizens have been very scared after what happened over the weekend and are afraid that Eggman will attack again. So what he had in mind is if you guys could get in front of the public and give them the reassurance that they need that everything will be fine and they won't have anything to have while they're here." the prime minister said.
The inhabitants of Mobius were thoughtful at the request, it was true that the people who were in the city were very scared by what they could see on the news. They learned that many businesses did not open and that schools and college remained closed at all times. Some tourist places were also closed, and the streets were not as crowded as they were told they used to be, even in houses where the inhabitants always went out all day, they were locked up and to make purchases they had to order at home, to to bring them the food they needed.
Most of the inhabitants of Mobius knew that this would be important for the inhabitants of the city, and even of the entire country, and if they were honest, it was not the first time that they had been on a planet other than their own, where they would have to reveal their identity to people. So it wouldn't be hard for them to get used to that environment, although almost everyone agreed, Shadow was the only one who wasn't convinced. He didn't like being the center of attention. He even wanted to prevent his family from doing that, but his wife and his two sons wanted to do it. Even though his daughter didn't know what they were talking about, she always took her mother's side, so he couldn't change her mind. In the end, he had no choice but to accept.
"So, how about I call a press conference to formally introduce you to the people of the city and you can say a word of encouragement for the citizens of the whole country," said the prime minister.
"Sounds good, when and at what time will it be?" Rouge said.
"Well, if your not busy or anything, we could do the press conference at noon, when the companies that are working go out to lunch and also broadcast the news that happened during the morning. You don't have anything to do right now, right?" the prime minister asked.
"We're free at that time," Knuckles replied.
"So, it's settled. I'll call a group of reporters to come here. In the meantime, you can relax for a while. Gouhin will take you to a rest room" said the prime minister to the mobians and then looked at his bodyguard. "It does not bother you. Truth?".
"No sir" said the panda bear to his boss, and then looks at the mobians. "Please, come with me."
So the panda bear took the mobians to another room while the prime minister took the phone and made some calls.
...
At the Carrier Man Trading Co., Ltd company, the employees were sitting having lunch, it was already almost noon. Legoshi and Jack were having lunch at the same table with Retsuko, Fenneko, and Ookami. Collot, Durham, Miguno and Voss were lunch with Anai. Louis wanted to have lunch alone, but Kabae approached him and sat next to him while she kept talking and talking, while she showed him pictures of her three sons and her nephew; even though Louis had gotten a little tired, he didn't tell her to get away since he didn't want to seem rude to his co-worker. Poor Louis, due to the circumstances of being brought to a different dimension, he went from being the owner of a company that he inherited from his deceased adoptive father Ogma to being an ordinary employee.
On the other hand, Legoshi and Jack had been very worried because Haida hadn't come to work that day. Retsuko, Fenneko and Ookami explained to them that the night before they went to yoga classes and to make things less complicated for them, yoga was not Haida's thing, his muscles were very sore and for that reason he had to stay home during the day, although according to what Retsuko's grandmother had said with what they would give him, he would be recovered to go to work on Monday, so they wouldn't have to be too worried. That made both the gray wolf and the labrador retriever feel a bit more relaxed. Although they wondered what effort Haida would have made for something like this to happen to him. At least as long as he recovered it was enough for the two of them.
While they continued their conversation, the group saw that on the television that they were in the rest area and had been placed there a year before, suddenly a last minute report appeared, that caught their attention, they thought that something was wrong it had happened suddenly, because they began to pay attention to what they were going through.
...
Haida was in the living room. His mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law had prepared some tea to relax him while they had prepared a cream for him to put on his body where he was in pain. After that they wrapped the parts where he was in pain with handkerchiefs that had been soaked in cold water. Right now Haida with Retsuko's mother and Retsuko's grandmother were in the living room watching TV, and sitting on the couch, since the two red pandas said that it was better for the hyena to be in a position other than lying down. to get better.
Koka, Hana, Izumi, and Daisuke were in the living room playing a board game near them, and as far as they were playing so far, Izumi was winning at the moment. So Koka was trying to get over her. Hana and Daisuke were only thinking about whether Koka would accomplish her goal and in Hana's case she was telling Daisuke how long it would take for Koka to surpass or even beat Izumi. Practically when it came to board games, Koka and Izumi were more like brothers trying to one-up each other than friends. Which seemed funny to Hana and Daisuke.
While the adults were still watching TV, a last report appeared that caught their attention, that left them thinking, they wondered what had happened to make a report, but that not only caught the attention of the adults, since the four children for some reason wanted to know if after what happened over the weekend, something else had happened, and if their new friends had something to do with it.
...
In a small store where Nick, Judy, Jack, Finnick, Mrs. Wilde, Stu, Bonnie, Nicole and Jerry were. The three newcomers to Japan wanted to buy some souvenirs, aside from the ones the others had given them the day before when they found out they had arrived. They liked those gifts and kept them in their suitcases. But they wanted to see other things that they could buy from them as well. Besides, it was also to know all the stores that caught their attention. Obviously Nicole and Jerry helped them choose the souvenirs, while Nick, Judy and Jack watched from afar.
The two rabbits and the two foxes watched the children with their grandparents, definitely liking how close they were. Since after their parents they were the most important people for them, and that everyone could notice. Just at that moment, while they were thinking about it, a last-minute report appeared on the local TV. All the clients of the place paid attention to what they were going to show. It was definitely something important, but they wanted to know what it was specifically and see if it had anything to do with what happened over the weekend.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
