Hichan got stuck on the ceiling, not because of the robots or April. No, he could sense the four IUCHIS who had followed the American woman's cab. Of course, you couldn't see them because they were under their shields, but they were far less effective than the redhead's.

Immediately, the son made an emergency call to his father and hoped for his quick reaction, because without Kazmi, Hichan was in deep shit. The Russian also heard the negative vibrations and suspected evil. Twice he was already afflicted by them and they tried to kill him. Should it finally be that time now?

April didn't notice it, she stormed into the bedroom and put her hands on her hips. She threw an angry look at her tin companions, who automatically backed off a bit, and bitched away:

"What kind of game are you playing with me? I always knew about your experiments, but that you also touch animals and then Luigi! Not to mention the one from yours truly! ... They will declare you crazy, just wait and see when I tell them everything. Then you will be in space for the last time... guaranteed!" She threw her hair vigorously back in her neck. „... ...pha... ...self-therapy!" That this claim came from herself, she put aside. She simply found that whatever was going on here was highly mysterious.

"Where's Hichan?" Now not only the astronaut was surprised by this question, but also the four aliens who had already split up in space pricked up their ears. They could not locate their peers looking down on them.

"Oh April, don't make a fuss. What do you want with the cat?" Torio replied and sat upright. "Does its color bother you? I have nothing to do with the bright red, believe me." The young woman angrily greeted him.

"Of course... you are innocent! Hichan! Kitty, kitty... Hichan!" she was denied another shout, because an invisible hand lay on her mouth and silenced her.

"This is clearly going too far," a strange voice shouted out of nowhere and gave orders. Behind each human or human robot, one of the aliens placed himself and held on to his victim.

"Show yourself, you arrogant red devil, or your toy will not survive the next few minutes. I got your number. Yes, even the special equipment didn't help you. Your arrogance betrayed you, you leave marks everywhere, red marks." The oldest of the four spoke very loudly and frighteningly. He kneeled behind Torio and tied the air behind him so he could breathe. "Where are you? I swear to you, the Russian will now finally lose his already useless life if you don't get your little ass over here right now." Torio tried his best to get free again, but the surprise attack left him no time for preparations. He began to shiver and rattle.

"Come on! Hichan!" April bit into the fingers of her tormentor and could only shout: "Why the cat?!", then she was put out of action by the special grip on the neck. The redhead had to act, but before he left his place on the ceiling, the two companions tried their luck. They were equipped with all kinds of knick-knacks, like Inspector Gadget. Now they tried to help the astronaut with their telescopic arms and legs and actually managed to somehow unbalance the invisible power behind the blond man, so that he had to release the Russian. Panting and gasping for air, Torio rolled himself off the bed, slumped hard and very unhappily on his right shoulder and groaned in pain. Hichan positioned himself protectively over him the next moment and became visible. The rest of the aliens appeared as well, one by one.

"Finally turn off the cock on these primitive tin cans," protested the leader, whom the redhead immediately recognized as one of his professors. A moment later, the two of them were also slumbering and the astronaut remained alone among the aliens, curled up on the ground and whimpering softly to himself.

"You eternal troublemaker! I thought you were up to something. Call in sick for a week to play various games with the humans. How stupid do you think your father and the entire task force are?" The teacher's face was red with rage and from his look you could tell how much "joy" the professor had with his student. "This was the last time. . . I swear to you, even if you are the commander's son, I'll arrest you." Hichan's superior got up from the bed and pushed the injured Russian's legs. "What do you want with him? He is a weak man, helpless and sick. I don't understand what you're doing here?"

"He is here for research purposes. Hichan is doing a special training during his internship at the Espionage Department. The astronaut ... and the blonde are experimental subjects. ...so everything is under control." Another person, who was still in hiding, interfered. "I thank you for your accuracy. It tells me that I don't have to change your attention and strategy. You can be proud of your achievement, keep it up." Not only did the baffled looks come from the four intruders, but the redhead and even Torio widened their eyes in surprise.

"But father ...", Hichan wanted to protest, but was immediately stopped.

"Shut up!" You still have a lot to learn, son, you are lucky that our people saw through your childish ways first. We are on human territory, it's dangerous to be so careless." The man he was talking to looked down clearly.

"Si mi dispiace, padre ..." he hit himself guiltily on the mouth, but grinned again the next moment.

"These training methods are irresponsible, who introduced them and when? I should know, as a professor at the elite school", the oldest of the aliens now wanted to know. He was visibly outraged by the explanation of his superior. But Kazmi did not go into it.

"Hichan's internship is cancelled, all traces are removed and the matter is settled. I will personally see to it!"

"What about the people?" the teacher stubbornly interjected.

"They're the subject of experiments," the commander thundered angrily. "Weren't they listening? "I don't like to repeat myself."

"But I...

"You and your men can leave. I will give you further instructions. I'll give you further instructions. The authority in the leader's voice no longer allowed any objection.

The professor sent the redhead another angry look, gathered his three companions and gave the order to retreat.

Kazmi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how long he could play this farce. The Special Forces had put out their fine feelers and had long since become clairaudient. They had to hurry and leave immediately. "How could it have come to this? With a somewhat perplexed look, he looked at the sleeping American woman.

"We have to take her with us. Dr. Yamanak will know what to do," Hichan answered his father's unspoken question.

"And Ryota and Tomo?" the astronaut wailed with a distorted face in pain. "I need them. Without my companions, I am helpless and a burden to Mori." Shinji just rolled his eyes, but said nothing. "Or rather... you just leave us here. ... My body is finished without it, I can't make it... I can't... another journey in your way costs me far too much strength. I will not betray you, you can trust me. I love Mori, but... so... I can't face him ...", Torio sobbed bitterly. The young alien knelt down next to him and this time Hichan recognized more than the strain, fatigue and doubt in his eyes. He saw a deep fear in the fear of the coming hours, of having to make the final decision to let someone into his lonely life. As weak and vulnerable as he was now. Carefully he stroked the glued blond streaks from his forehead and had his chin to get Torios full attention.

"Hey... there's no reason to be ashamed. He loves you with all your human weaknesses, they're not important to him," the redhead said more sensitively for once. "You are the way you are and you are perfect for my brother. Your burden, as you call it, is what brought you here... so close to your goal. You cannot give up now. ... "Come, let's go..." He wanted to pull him up, but the blond Russian cried out in pain.

Now Shinji also approached the astronaut, looked down at the whimpering figure with a stern look, but then took heart and reassured the future family member:

"Do not doubt the power of love, son-in-law. Mori is also about to make a new beginning. He is counting on you and I have given him my word to save his partner. So you are coming with us, ... no arguments!" With these words he bent down, grabbed Torio's neck and stunned him.

"There's no time to lose, Takuyan will take over everything else. He will straighten him out. For the ..., oh no, it will be enough."

"Si per amore," the redhead fluted, forming a heart with his fingers and shouldering the big Russian. "Mio caro Cognato! Welcome to the family, my dear brother-in-law."

His father looked at him only skeptically, but said devotedly:

"Well then... we'll travel with the whole family..."
