Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties-Chapter 315: FREE LITH TILL IT’S BACKWARDS

The floor was covered in tatami mats. Cero found their soft texture and faint earthy scent pleasing, and reminded him of his time on Tyl. He thought about Lith, and was surprised that she still hadn't activated her bracelet, which would have made his beep. She had used it countless times already, so her not using must mean that she was still asleep. After all, the area in which she insisted on staying was extremely safe and guards were protecting the spaceship at all times.

"We're so getting jet-lagged." Rea whispered.

Paper-screen windows were slid open, revealing the morning breeze passing over the serene garden just outside.

"Funny thing for you to say." Cero chuckled as he reached for his cup filled with a sake-like drink.

"Yeah, well… Just because you pilot spaceships doesn't mean you don't get jet-lag." Rea shrugged and took some of the snacks presented on the table for herself. "Sitting on the ground is weird."

"We're sitting on mats."

"Still."

Looking through the window, they could see Liz, Nara, and dozens of Red Dragon members training.

"We're done here, right?"

"Yep." Cero answered. "Once Liz is done, we're leaving."

"They might never be done." Rea sighed as she let her back fall to the ground. "The moment that Nara is tired, the other guys take on Liz. Once they're tired, Nara has recuperated enough to take on Liz again." She sighed again while staring at the ceiling.

"Then we just have to wait for Liz to be tired."

"Yeah, sure. That'll only take a week!"

"The Red Dragon insisted. And so did Liz, so…"

"I know, I know. Should've brought a gaming console with me"

Beep-

"Mister popular, huh? I just got you a phone and it's already beeping."

"I know, right?" Cero chuckled and took his phone into his hand.

You have received 1 message.

You have received 2 messages.

You have received 3 messages.

You have received 4 messages.

You have received 5 messages.

"That popular, huh?" Rea got closer, aiming to catch a glimpse. "Oh, shit…"

"I gotta go." Cero stood up right away.

"I'll go with you."

"What about Liz?"

"Uh… How about we tell her that we're leaving?"

"How about you stay here and tell her that I left?"

"What am I supposed to do here? Did you even see how they're staring at me? They hate me cause I'm rich, and because of the way I'm dressed! I'm not staying here more than necessary!"

Cero shook his head and walked out to approach Liz.

Thankfully, she understood quickly and told him herself that he needed to go.

Hey, so this is Roka, which you obviously know since you've already texted me.

Anyways, no reason to get alarmed. I just got into a bit of trouble with Lith.

She's currently being detained by the police but I'll fix it, alright?

You don't need to come or worry, I'm fixing it.

I'll call you once it's fixed.

"Should we catch the train or…?"

"Yeah, I guess." Cero took a deep breath in, trying not to worry too much.

"You guys need a ride?" The Red Dragon asked, having noticed them leaving. "We'll get you wherever in twenty minutes tops.

Less than half an hour later, Cero and Rea landed in the Capital.

Going from morning to the middle of the night in twenty minutes was confusing and strange, but Rea kept herself from commenting on that.

"Should I come with?" She suggested. "Or do I call my mother? She can probably get this over with pretty quickly. She doesn't answer my calls though, so I'll have to go home and hope she's there."

"Um alright. You do that."

"Okay, text me later." Rea waved as she walked away.

Fifteen minutes later,

"Oh, no…" Roka gulped, seeing Cero approach. "H-Hey."

"So where is she?"

"She's still being detained. I'm having some trouble getting them to-"

"Can we go inside?"

"Um, yeah, sure."

The two walked into the police station. Separating them from the officers was a waiting line, a row of seats, and countless iron bars.

"So as I said, I am-"

"We don't care who you are." The officer said plainly, not even looking up from the stacks of papers in front of him. "Wait in line."

"No, you don't understand. There must have been a mistake. Lith-"

"End of the line." The officer pointed, still staring at the papers.

"Fuck that." Cero cursed as he wrapped his hands around the iron bars. "Free her right now."

"Sir, we can't just free someone because we're asked to." The officer scoffed. "What do you think this is? We're trying to-"

"I'm not asking." Cero interrupted, his hands tightening around the iron bars. "Roka, do something right now or I'm… Well, you know what I'm going to do."

"Oh, for fuck's sake." Roka cursed, taking hold of the iron bars as well. "Just get her out, alright? You must know who I am. Obey my orders right now or this whole department is getting fired."

"I apologize but military achievements have nothing to do with this. It's simply-" The officer frowned as his shoulder was tapped. "What is it?" A phone was placed in his hand. "Hello? Yes. Yes, I see. No. I… Are you sure? Well, in that case… No, I… Okay."

The officer calmly placed the phone back into the hand that had presented it.

He took a deep breath in, and when his lips parted,

"Hohoho." A laugh echoed before the officer could say a word. "Less than three hours after our meeting concluded, we meet again, Commander Roka."

Recognizing that voice, Roka quickly turned around while the officer felt his whole body freeze.

"M-M-M-Mister Prime Minister!" The officer shouted without meaning to.

The Prime Minister walked past the crowd.

"Go on, officer. Get their friend out."

"Y-Yes!"

Cero lay a hand on the side of his neck.

"If you knew the Prime Minister, you should have called him right away." He sighed.

"W-Well, it's not so simple…"

The Prime Minister walked up to Cero and stared at his face for a couple of seconds.

"We finally meet, Cero." He smiled. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Hm." Cero shrugged. "Likewise, I suppose."
