Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

In Chapter 1998, Director Sawai saw a broader possibility for the Monster Coexistence Project.

In the early hours of the morning, the lively atmosphere in the camp had gradually dissipated.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to wait for Saki's Machina to pick her up, Sawai Soichiro would probably already be asleep by now.

At this moment, everyone was sitting in their respective seats, chatting casually.

Sawai Soichiro had already learned everything he could from Saki, so he had plenty to talk about with her. He was now sitting in a chair, covered with a blanket, pretending to doze off.

Only those younger people like Megumi Kijima could keep up, but they would yawn from time to time.

Of the group, only Gu Chen and Saki seemed to be in relatively good spirits.

drop by drop...

Just then, everyone's PDI (Power Delivery Device) suddenly went off simultaneously.

The sudden commotion immediately caught the attention of everyone present. The members of the GUTS team quickly took off their PDIs from their waists and opened them.

Then, they heard Noriyuki Hachimitsu's voice come from within: "Captain, this is footage captured by the Delta Universe Station ten minutes ago."

In the image, a huge, oval-shaped object is seen breaking through Earth's atmosphere.

Seeing this, Megumi showed the PDI screen to Saki beside her and then asked, "Ms. Saki, is this the Magina you mentioned?"

Saki immediately leaned over to take a look, and her face immediately lit up with excitement as she nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing this, Megumi immediately asked Nozue Yasumi, "Nozue, has the landing trajectory of the Magina deviated? How long is it expected to take to reach us?"

Noriyuki Hachimi immediately replied, "Captain, the Magina will land in your area in about fifteen minutes. The landing trajectory may be slightly off, but it won't cause any major problems."

Upon hearing this, Saki's expression became even more agitated.

After a century of waiting, she only needs to wait another 15 minutes to return to the home she has been longing for, which makes it impossible for her not to be excited.

Hearing the commotion outside, Sawai Soichiro also came out of the tent to see Saki off on her final journey.

The others also started packing their things; it wouldn't be long before they were heading home.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Under everyone's watchful eyes, a shooting star appeared in the dark night sky and plummeted toward their location.

Soon, Machina, which was in a closed shell state, appeared in everyone's sight and began to slow down, eventually landing slowly in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Saki could no longer contain herself. She immediately broke free from the crowd and ran straight towards Machina, shouting, "Machina!!!"

Upon hearing Saki's call, Machina, who was in spaceship mode, immediately took action.

Its shell began to open, revealing its true form.

Seeing Saki running towards it, Machina responded with a joyful growl.

Saki ran all the way to Machina's feet before stopping and turning to look at Sawai Soichiro and the others.

Before leaving, Saki bowed to everyone again and said, "Thank you so much for your help. I had a very enjoyable evening."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and then waved to Saki.

As Daigo Madoka waved goodbye to Saki, he didn't forget to shout, "Have a safe journey!"

Saki nodded, then looked up at Machina.

The next second, Saki's body floated up into the air and finally landed in Machina's palm.

After receiving Saki, Machina's outer shell closed up again.

Without lingering, Machina, who had just arrived on Earth, immediately took to the air and headed straight for the cosmos.

Sawai Soichiro and the others watched Saki and Machina leave. Not long after, Nozue Yasumi sent a message saying that Machina had left Earth's gravitational field and officially embarked on her journey home.

"Advisor, do you think there will ever be a day when we humans can travel through the universe with monsters, just like Ms. Saki?"

Unable to contain himself, Sawai Soichiro indulged in this daydream.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "I think so, but that would be a very, very long time from now."

Sawai Soichiro sighed, "Ah, yes, there's still so much we need to do."

It must be said that the relationship between Saki and Machina shocked Sawai Soichiro to a certain extent, and it truly made Sawai Soichiro realize the extent to which cooperation between humans and monsters could go.

Human technology is not yet capable of interstellar travel, far from the extraordinary space travel of the Showa era. Even if it develops to the future, space travel will undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.

But if a monster helps, like Machina helped Saki, then the problem would be much, much simpler.

This shows that there is a great deal of potential to be explored in the cooperation between humans and monsters.

Leaving aside the distant past, just take the recent example of Gakuma; they are rapidly becoming the most popular monsters in various countries.

Because of their existence, some nuclear pollutants can finally be properly disposed of without continuing to damage the environment in various countries.

This is why Gakuma's status among countries is rising.

As for whether anyone might plot against Gakuma, perhaps there would be in the Showa era, but thanks to Sawai Soichiro's efforts, such reckless individuals will no longer exist in this universe.

Cooperation among the countries has been on track. Sawai Soichiro initially brought together various countries to jointly develop cooperation with Gakuma, so that no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble in matters related to Gakuma.

After all, doing that would essentially be tantamount to standing against the entire world, so naturally no one would be foolish enough to do it.

If this trend continues, then in the distant future, humanity will likely be able to develop an advanced cosmic civilization where humans and monsters cooperate, just like on the planet where Saki lives.

Thinking of this, Sawai Soichiro was no longer sleepy. On the TPC transport plane, he pulled Gu Chen aside and talked at length about future development steps, and wanted Gu Chen to offer more valuable and constructive suggestions to help the development of Earth's civilization.

If it weren't for the fact that it was really late and Sawai Soichiro was getting on in years, he might have had a long talk with Gu Chen.

Even so, Gu Chen was exhausted.

He originally didn't want to deal with these trivial matters after leaving the Showa Universe, but things always seemed to unfold beyond his control.

After all, if someone wants to do something, they will inevitably attract attention to some extent. Not to mention that Gu Chen wants to do some big things, so he can't escape this fate.
