“This is Jujo Megumi. What's going on?” Jujo Megumi opened the cover of her communicator with confusion.
“Captain, TPC's radar detected a strange cluster of thunderclouds appearing over the Far East sea. It's only less than a hundred meters above the sea level.” Nozore’s figure appeared on the screen, immediately reporting.
“I will return to the base immediately.” Jujo Megumi heard that something unusual had happened, and immediately decided to go back. She was already ready to leave.
But Nozore’s next words stopped her.
“No, Director Zeburaya meant that a research team led by meteorologist Dr. Mizuno will be sent to solve this matter. So, Captain, you won't need to stay at the base for the next two days.” Nozore said truthfully.
“Isn’t that almost equivalent to giving the Captain two days off.” From the background of the command room, the voices of Rina and Horii, along with a few others, could be heard with a hint of envy.
They also wanted to take a break.
Although according to Director Zeburaya’s arrangement, they only needed to stay at the base for the next two days.
They still needed to stay at the Victory Team base to keep watch, just in case anything unexpected happened.
But considering Jujo Megumi rarely went home, they all felt relieved.
As ordinary members of the Victory Team, they actually weren’t that busy. Besides the night watch duty, two people would stay in the base every night according to the rotation schedule.
The rest could mostly go home to sleep, and even have time to go out and relax when they were not busy, but they still needed to be on call 24 hours a day.
But as captain, Jujo Megumi had always set an example by staying at the base most of the time to deal with any situation.
Now that Director Zeburaya intentionally gave the captain a chance to rest, they were both envious and happy to see it.
However, Jujo Megumi felt a little ashamed and anxious after hearing this.
“What nonsense are you talking about? As the Captain of the Victory Team, how can I not be at the base when something unusual happens?” Jujo Megumi immediately said in a stern tone.
But her voice and expression were a little softer, and she secretly glanced at Jiang He.
If before, she stayed at the base because of work.
Then now, there was a large part of the reason, to give herself an excuse to avoid living at home and buffer herself.
Especially, if she opened the door to staying home for these two days, she might not be able to continue to set an example and stay at the base to deal with any situation like she had done before.
This was something she had been adhering to as the Victory Team captain.
“That cloud cluster is actually just a minor matter. It can even help Dr. Mizuno achieve his research goals that he’s been working on for many years.” Jiang He nodded in agreement, as if to reinforce what she was saying.
He indicated that it was indeed a small matter. It was just a monster that transformed from a lightning person...
But right now, the most important thing was to get his wife, this strong and elegant lady, to come over.
As for the cloud cluster, as compensation, he would send information about the monster Gazoot, which was transformed from the lightning person inside, to the Victory Team base in advance, without letting Jujo Megumi know.
This Gazoot was even weaker than the two Gakuumas who were being kept as “pets” on Kurashima.
Given the current situation at the Victory Team, even the novice Daigo would be able to easily defeat it.
However, Jiang He was interested in collecting Gazoot's genetic factors.
Although this monster was weak, its formation was very special. A Lightning Person, a creature that lives in the ionosphere, with electricity as its core.
According to the answer he just got from the system, this Gazoot was very suitable as a fusion material, and could be fused with many other monsters to create new ones.
Fortunately, he didn’t need to be there in person to obtain the genetic factors. Later, he would just ask the witch Kirielod to get some of Gazoot’s remains after it was defeated.
Plan completed!
Jiang He directly hinted to Nozore on the other side of the communicator, and the latter immediately understood and prepared to cut off the communication, “Captain, if there is nothing else, I will go ahead and deal with the base matters.”
“Wait...!” Jujo Megumi wanted to say something, but she found that the screen of the communicator had gone black.
The communication was cut off.
“This Nozore, he's become insubordinate.” Jujo Megumi put away the communicator in annoyance.
But she could tell that her subordinate was just trying to protect her.
Just like Director Zeburaya, they were creating an opportunity for her to rest and spend time with someone.
“Since you're staying at home tonight, why don't you sleep in the master bedroom again? It’s familiar to you, and the guest room is a bit messy and can’t be used now.”
Jiang He looked at the time. After a lot of hustle and bustle, it was already almost 8 o’clock in the evening, so he proactively suggested giving the master bedroom back to her.
Of course, he deliberately added a sentence at the end: “The guest room is a bit messy and can't be used now,” even intentionally adding a little emphasis, as if to remind Jujo Megumi.
According to the traditional Yamato Nadeshiko routine of this strong and elegant lady, Jiang He thought that the next second, Jujo Megumi would hesitate for a moment and then ask him to sleep in the master bedroom.
The old routine always works.
Even if he slept on the floor next to the bed, it was a good development, wasn’t it?
However, to Jiang He's surprise, Jujo Megumi nodded with a smile and said, “Thanks for understanding, but I'll try to clean up the guest room first.”
“.,...” Jiang He.
