Chapter 1029: Make a small report, go and ask Manabe's advisor

When Shuhei Aragaki and others returned to the ZAT team headquarters and told them what happened on Mount Asama, the entire base suddenly became lively.

Following Goknetsla and the giant turtle monster couple, another gentle and friendly monster has appeared on Earth. Does this mean that the Monster Nature Reserve, a specialty of the Sakura Country, can return to the world?

However, what followed was an increasingly heated debate, because they already had experience in establishing a monster nature reserve and were roughly aware of the pros and cons, so there were some differences within the Earth Defense Force as to whether or not to establish this monster nature reserve.

It is roughly divided into four factions: supporters, opponents, radicals and neutrals.

There is no need to say much about the supporters and opponents. The radicals believe that these monsters should be regulated like Goknetsla, so that they can cooperate in some research, and perhaps they can make some contributions to human science and technology.

Of course, these factions are only more radical than the supporters and opponents. They have no intention of sending the two monsters in Asamayama to the operating table for slice experiments. They just think that it would be better to deal with them like Goknetsla.

Needless to say, the neutrals just don't express any opinions. Whether you agree or disagree, radical or not, it has nothing to do with me. I just watch the fun and eat spectacles. No matter what decision you make in the end, I will implement it.

These groups of people discussed over and over again, but they couldn't come to a conclusion and couldn't reach a consensus.

After Araki Shuhei and others brought back Gu Chen's idea, they turned around and contacted Chief of Staff Manabe again.

However, perhaps because Chief of Staff Manabe has been increasingly busy recently, when Asahina Yutaro and others wanted to contact him, they were told that they had to wait for a while because Chief of Staff Manabe was in a meeting at the time.

Fortunately, the ZAT team did not have to wait long. Around noon, during the lunch break, Staff Officer Manabe learned that someone from the ZAT team wanted to contact him, so he asked his assistant to contact ZAT.

"I'm Manabe. I heard you contacted me this morning. Did something happen to the consultant again?"

At this time, Staff Officer Manabe had basically stopped caring about the affairs of the Earth Defense Force, so when someone from the ZAT team came to him and those people were not Gu Chen, Staff Officer Manabe naturally knew that the one with the problem was Gu Chen.

"Yes, Chief of Staff Manabe, the advisor is in..."

So, Asahina Yutaro told Staff Officer Manabe what happened on Mount Asama that morning.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

After learning what had happened from Asahina Yuutarou, Staff Officer Manabe was silent for a moment, and then hung up the phone after saying this.

"Staff Officer Manabe, did anything happen with the Earth Defense Force?"

As soon as Staff Officer Manabe hung up the phone, his trusted subordinates began to ask curiously.

"A monster as docile as the giant turtle monster couple was discovered in Asama Mountain. Gu Chen handed over the decision of whether to establish a monster nature reserve to everyone at the ZAT team headquarters, and then he never came back and planned to stay in Asama Mountain for a while."

Staff Officer Manabe briefly explained the situation in a few words.

"Another monster?"

"Another monster nature reserve?"

"There's already a precedent, so why hasn't that kid given up yet?"

"No, rather than saying he has not given up, he has actually come to terms with reality, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his people discuss this topic, he would have just made the decision himself."

"That makes sense, but you are so willful. You are really too young to bother Staff Officer Manabe with something like this."

Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Manabe's trusted subordinates immediately started talking one after another.

In the corner, Kishida Fumio listened to the people in front of him talking about Gu Chen. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his eyes glanced at those guys who talked without thinking with a slightly unfriendly look.

Just when Kishida Fumio couldn't stand these people's comments on Gu Chen anymore and was about to stand up and scold them to speak for Gu Chen, Staff Officer Manabe stood up before him and killed Kishida Fumio's idea.

"This afternoon's meeting and itinerary are cancelled. I need to go out for a while. I'll discuss the future arrangements when I come back."

After saying this, Staff Officer Manabe was about to leave with his assistant.

Seeing this, Fumio Kishida quickly stood up from his seat and wanted to follow Chief of Staff Manabe.

But it wasn't just him. After hearing what Chief of Staff Manabe said, other people in the office also stood up from their seats. Some of them stood up even faster than Kishida Fumio.

"Officer Manabe, where are you going? How can you cancel your afternoon meeting and schedule? This will have an impact on your campaign for prime minister."

"Yes, yes, Chief of Staff Manabe, is there anything that cannot be handled by others? You have to consider the overall situation first."

"Officer Manabe, may I ask, what are you going to do?"

Looking at the slightly agitated and confused crowd, Staff Officer Manabe paused for a moment and said, "Let's go to Mount Asama."

After these words came out, how could everyone not know what the staff officer Manabe was going to do? He must have gone to find that bastard Gu Chen for something.

That's right, in the eyes of these people, Gu Chen is just a rascal who takes advantage of Chief of Staff Manabe's doting to do evil things. Although he has some talents and is good at dealing with monsters and aliens, this does not make these senior politicians look up to him.

After all, Gu Chen will be a threat to their status in the future. He is no longer the insignificant consultant who was nameless and powerless like the MAT team before.

"Staff Officer Manabe, what are you going to do? Staff Officer Gu Chen is making a fuss, are you going to follow suit?"

"Yes, yes, Chief of Staff Manabe, I have to say that you are too indulgent to Chief of Staff Gu Chen. This will harm him."

"Staff Officer Manabe, didn't you say before that you were relieved to leave the Earth Defense Force to Staff Officer Gu Chen? So just let him handle this matter, and don't worry about it."

Some had a fierce attitude, some looked doubtful, and some tried to persuade them with kind words, but they all expressed strong dissatisfaction and opposition to Staff Officer Manabe's plan to go to Mount Asama to meet Gu Chen.

However, facing everyone who spoke out against him, Staff Officer Manabe said nothing. He just stood there and looked at everyone with a calm expression.

Under the gaze of Staff Officer Manabe, everyone gradually became speechless, and finally the office fell silent.
