My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

"It's not like they're afraid of an invasion..."

"They're afraid of someone, the cowards they are." Star Spangled emphasized, grabbing Eugen Hood by the collar.

Eugen Hood's legs which turned into jelly suddenly froze up. In front of sheer power, he didn't know how he'd act. He may be one of the high-ranking officers in the Japanese Navy but the person in front of him was so much more. If he were to compare himself to Star Spangled, he's but a speck of dust who wasn't even worthy of getting into his radar.

The icon of America, the number one superhero in that powerhouse of a nation, and to top it all off, his superpower could very well rival every top superhero in other countries. That was Star Spangled's identity. It wouldn't even be an understatement to say that he's the number one superhero in the world.

"Why did you grow quiet? With that superpower of yours, I thought you'd be more headstrong. I guess I expected too much from the Chief of Naval Operations, huh," Star Spangled then got down from the railings, placing his hand on Eugen's shoulders. "Look, between you and me, I'd pull back if I were you. You wouldn't want to mess with America over such a small matter, right? Leave the Dimensional Portal alone, those are my direct orders for you."

Well, Eugen Hood didn't really have that much of a choice. He found himself nodding along before he even realized that he was being led by Star Spangled. "I just received a phone call from my superiors, telling me to pull out. And that's exactly what we're going to do right now."

"Great! Now that that's settled, I'm going to meet up with Fury over there. Would you mind if you pull back now? I don't want to deal with another country's Navy if I could help it. It would just complicate things on both our ends, right?"

With a nod, Eugen Hood turned around and ordered his men to withdraw. It didn't even take a minute for the battleships to change their course as the fight drew to a close.

"Now we're talking." Star Spangled nodded in a satisfied manner before he rejoined Tatsuki on the other side of the battlefield.

Tatsuki, Ayumu, and their son's classmates watched the entire exchange. Since they were too far away, they could only assume what Star Spangled and Eugen Hood were talking about. Even with Tatsuki's enhanced hearing, he could only hear indistinct mutters so he didn't bother listening further.

A couple of minutes later, they were surprised to see the entire Japanese Navy turning around and heading back to shore as if nothing happened. They were withdrawing even though Tatsuki hasn't stepped in for a counterattack. Somehow, Star Spangled managed to manipulate the Chief of Naval Operations into tucking his tail and running away.

"What did you two talk about?" Tatsuki asked as soon as Star Spangled got back to them.

"Nothing much, when I got there, their superiors already gave them the green light to withdraw so yeah, I didn't do anything." Star Spangled shrugged. His gaze then landed on the five kids who were responsible for holding down the fort while Tatsuki and Ayumu weren't there.

The first girl had purple hair and was riding what seemed to be a powerful familiar. Star Spangled immediately recognized the White Lion. But what surprised him the most was that the White Lion was an Altered Type (it was explained in the previous chapters but yes, altered types are basically shinies.)

"An Altered Type?! Young miss, you are very lucky," Star Spangled eyes sparkled as he rubbed the mane of the White Lion. "How did you tame him? Did you know that he's an Altered Type?"

"Altered Type? What's that?!" Emma asked, wondering if it was a slang term that she didn't know. She immediately made a mental note to ask Satoshi about it as soon as he got back.

Star Spangled wanted to hit his head with a brick. 'This lady, she owns one of the rarest beasts in the world, not to mention that it's even rarer because it's an Altered Type... and yet she doesn't know anything about it?!" Whilst thinking about that, Star Spangled then cleared his throat and patiently explained to Emma what an Altered Type is.

"Altered Types are basically a beast of the same species but with a different set of colors. White Lions are usually grey in color but the White Lion that you tamed is pure white, hence it's an Altered Type. But man, did you know that White Lion is already a super rare beast? Where did you find him? Like... which part of the Beast Dimension did you scour just to find him? So cool!" Star Spangled couldn't suppress the urge of burying his face in the White Lion's mane. As expected, it was so soft, so relaxing, so soothing. At that point, Star Spangled didn't want to 'un-bury' his face from the White Lion's mane.

"That's not hers, that's Satoshi. And I was there when he tamed it." Shiroi muttered.

Ayumu instinctively nudged at her husband, to which Tatsuki responded with a grin. They were both listening in to the conversation so they couldn't help but smile at Shiroi's statement. "She said they tamed it together. Pretty cool right?" Ayumu whispered to her husband.

Clearing his throat, Tatsuki then whispered back. "I mean... we all know Satoshi's going down the childhood route. Right now, we should just be quiet about it and wait. Let our boy handle his romance."

In response, Ayumu's eyes lit up and she clenched her fists in front of Tatsuki.

"And where exactly in the Beast Dimension did you happen upon it, miss?" Star Spangled asked. "I've always wanted to tame a White Lion but I just couldn't."

Shiroi then thought back to when the Slime Aliens attacked Tokyo and she remembered what Satoshi told him. Whatever happens, she shouldn't tell anyone the secret of his familiars. Because of that, she just shrugged in front of Star Spangled. "I can't remember. But it's right there by the Beast Dimension." Shiroi replied.

Rumble. Rumble.

Rumble.

"..."

Suddenly, the Dungeon Spire started rumbling and out came Satoshi, leisurely strolling from the main entrance of it. "Hey guys, what did I miss?" He asked as if he was just walking out of the park.
