Planet Terra, above X City.
From west to east, two swift shadows flashed through the center of the clouds, vanishing in the blink of an eye towards the other end of the sky.
The residents of X City had been evacuated in advance yesterday following Big T's suggestion.
The city was now empty.
Last night, while Lott was busy... 'learning' with Saeko-
Big T had suggested to the Hero Association to evacuate all residents of X City in advance.
Evacuating an entire city's population overnight was something the Hero Association had done before.
It was during the secret plan by the Kudo father and son to deal with Lott, which backfired when he turned into a giant ape and wiped out most of the S-Class Heroes at the time.
Back then, the Hero Association also tried to evacuate City A's residents in one night, but it proved impossible.
This time, however, was different.
Big T had the Hero Association gather all of X City's residents on the streets, holding hands in a chain.
This included the wealthy Yukinoshita Family.
At that time, nearly a million people in the city held hands.
Then Big T placed a single hand on the shoulder of the Yukinoshita Family's head at the front.
Immediately after, the nearly million people felt the scenery shift before their eyes.
The next second, they were standing in front of the Hero Association's headquarters.
"This ability... it simply puts one in an invincible position."
Yukinoshita Haruno murmured to herself, recalling yesterday's instantaneous transfer to City A.
Currently, the Yukinoshita Family of five was accommodated in the Totsuki Academy's dormitory.
They would return to X City after the battle ended.
Right now, the family of five was watching the live stream screen, showing the two figures who had just passed over X City.
"The situation on Earth is terrible."
Yukino said abruptly.
Until just now, she had been closely following the situation on Earth in the North Galaxy.
Because many Earthlings were asking for help in the group, saying the Frieza Force was carrying out a massacre on Earth-
Earth had become a living hell.
And the Z Fighters, led by Goku, were trying their best to save who they could.
But it was clearly a futile effort.
"What? Do you want to go help them?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita, who had been staring intently at Lott and Big T in the live stream, sneered:
"After all, your dream is to change the world, isn't it?"
Yukino's face instantly turned ugly.
Seeing this, Haruno quickly interjected to change the subject:
"Mom, they seem to have arrived."
Prompted by her eldest daughter, Mrs. Yukinoshita turned her attention back to the live stream.
She saw that the two who had been flying high in the sky had now landed.
"Is this the place?"
Lott asked, sitting down on a rock.
"Yeah, according to the timeline... oh no, I mean, based on my deduction, that group will land here in one hour."
After answering, Big T found a rock about five or six meters away from Lott and sat down.
The scene fell into an awkward silence. The Fujiwara Sisters, the Nakano Sisters, and others watching from home felt embarrassed for the two through the screen.
"Hey, hey, Chika, Moeko, don't you think these two look a bit alike?"
At the Fujiwara Residence, the eldest sister, Fujiwara Toyomi, suddenly asked her two younger sisters.
"Huh? Toyomi-nee, are you talking about Lott and this purple-haired middle schooler?"
Chika almost thought her ears were playing tricks on her.
"Yeah, don't you think their auras are similar?"
Toyomi blinked.
"Worlds apart..."
Chika, who had a negative distance relationship with Lott, felt that apart from their looks, she couldn't find any similarity between the two.
Looking back at the screen-
They saw Big T, sitting far away, occasionally glancing at Lott out of the corner of his eye.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Lott said impatiently.
"Oh, okay~"
Big T awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Seeing this, Chika said triumphantly to her elder sister:
"See?"
Their auras were completely worlds apart… one was super extroverted, the other super introverted.
At Yuigahama Yui's house.
The popular trio, Yuigahama Yui, Miura Yumiko, and Ebina Hina, were gathered together, also watching the two on the screen.
Among them, Ebina Hina held her hands over her mouth, tears welling in her eyes as she exclaimed:
"I'm shipping them so hard! I'm shipping them so hard!"
'The aggressive top and the delicate bottom, and it's an older-younger pairing too.'
'What a divine pair!?'
'My nose is about to bleed!'
Yui and Miura Yumiko secretly rolled their eyes.
Although they knew their friend was a hardcore fujoshi, they didn't expect her to be this far gone.
'Planet Terra was facing an unprecedented crisis, and she still had the mind to obsess over this!'
"Please, you must win."
Miura Yumiko clasped her hands together, praying silently.
Now the entire universe knew Earth had become a living hell.
And Planet Terra faced the same crisis.
With Earth as a precedent, even those who previously disliked or even hated Lott hoped he would win this battle.
…
On the scene, Big T finally mustered his courage and asked Lott:
"Uncle Lott... after winning this, you'll be the hero who saved Planet Terra. Are you looking forward to it?"
Hearing this, Lott immediately showed a look of complete disdain.
"Do I look like someone who looks forward to that kind of thing?"
Lott concluded this kid's IQ wasn't as high as in the original work.
'But it might also be because he wasn't old enough yet.'
After all, he looked only thirteen or fourteen now, three or four years younger than the original 'Big T'.
'Calling him 'Little T' might indeed be more appropriate.'
"S-Sorry, what I meant was, this time Uncle Lott, you saved Planet Terra, becoming the hero who saved the planet. But what if next time a new enemy attacks, and you fail to protect Planet Terra from the enemy, and the people of Planet Terra blame you for it? If that happens, would you be sad?"
Big T asked curiously again.
On the Planet Ninja, Kakashi was full of question marks.
'Th-This plot sounds a bit familiar...'
…
Lott's look at Big T grew even stranger.
'What did he mean?'
'Did something like that happen to me in the future?'
'Impossible. How could I be that pathetic?'
After thinking for a moment, Lott replied:
"First, I'm not protecting Planet Terra right now. I'm not interested in that. I'm sitting here for my own personal reasons."
"Second, if anyone dares to tell me what to do, I'll kill them."
Hearing Lott's words, many people watching felt goosebumps.
'As expected, Lott was still the same Lott, not a bit changed.'
Previously, seeing people like Neptune, who suffered under the Celestial Dragons, singing Lott's praises had mistakenly led some people to think Lott was a good person-
But now, they remembered, those were just coincidences.
He just happened to destroy the World Government while fighting Boros.
It wasn't his intentional goal to help the people of the Planet Pirate.
"As expected, you'd say that. It's a pity I realized it too late."
Big T shook his head with a bitter smile, then lowered his head and muttered to himself:
"If only Uncle Goku could see things so clearly..."
