I get ready. The guests are finally here. I was getting tired of waiting. I even thought of discovering the world together with Hazel.
But then they barge in. Although I was actually slacking off.
Now I have to be extra careful. They will land in probably two hours.
They can annihilate the entire human population in just a few minutes. I don't know their numbers or their actual potential.
So I am completely outclassed. I don't know if I can even put up a fight.
Maybe I will be killed as well. And this story will end. But this gets me more fired up.
My life is at stake. It's getting interesting.
I exit my house with Hazel. I should arm myself. Again, I don't know if our weapons would work or not.
Their physique is unknown as well.
Further action is impossible due to insufficient information.
I have to gather knowledge. Now let's try to do things stealthily.
I pick up some firearms I took from the city center in the capital. Some assault weapons and a few handguns. They had precision sniper rifles and heavy weapons as well. I didn't take those.
They would be very effective against humans but they are extraterrestrial life forms.
So I should not expect them to have same physique as humans.
Still, it's better than nothing.
I look at Hazel. I am currently inside the town border. But I can see the plains from here.
I didn't have any armor. So I put on my lead jacket.
It should protect me if they use nuclear weapons.
Still, this is all I can do for now.
Hazel is also looking at the plains. Don't know why but she is unusually tense as well.
Maybe she is worried about me. Ahhh. Such a good dog.
Now I really wanna marry her. If only she was like the dog beastkin. That's also fantasy.
So I slap my cheeks to get back to reality. More than an hour has passed. I can see something coming from the sky.
It's actually entering at a low pace.
The reentry in the atmosphere should burn the outside. But they are perfectly avoiding that and maintaining a steady course.
It looks like they are capable of intergalactic travel.
So the science fiction is true now.
I wait for a little more and they have descended.
The spaceship itself isn't that big.
About the size of normal passenger plane.
The shape is like a bird. Not those round saucer type.
No, humans just exaggerated it in the past.
And judging from its size, it should have a crew of 100 at most.
A reconnaissance team sent to analyze I think.
I patiently wait as they might get off that ship.
And finally the moment came. The door opened.
I was expecting something like those old movies. Like green body and round head or spikes or tentacles.
But reality was different. They looked like normal humans.
"Wha…..?" I say this as I am very astonished at the sight.
They look like normal humans.
No difference whatsoever.
Hazel is still looking and she looked at me.
Her eyes seemed to be saying,
'Let's leave.'
I pat her head and say, "No. We need to see."
I am a bit away from their landing spot.
So they should not have noticed me.
I guess, they aren't trying to.
Their confidence must be pretty damn high.
No, it's actually okay. I am the anomaly in the first place. Something outside of their equation.
I am the balance breaker.
I am talking to myself even more than before.
Maybe I am a bit scared.
I steel my nerves and get ready.
I need to get closer to them or I won't know anything.
I am about a kilometer away from them.
So I start walking with Hazel in tow. I should get closer but I have to watch out as well.
They should not notice me.
And after moving closer, I am currently 100 meters away.
I look at them. 4 in total. No weapons on them and they are wearing weird body suits.
Their gender is unknown.
I look at Hazel.
"What do you think they are? Male or female or both?" I ask her.
She just nodded her head. Maybe she is confused as well.
They are looking around and taking some equipment out.
Should I strike first? If I am fast enough all of them would be dead.
But their potential is unknown. Technology is possibly far too advanced.
I have to be wary of them.
I move closer.
Only a few meters away from them.
But they still haven't noticed me.
I can hear them talking.
"■■■■■■■■■■■■■"
What language is that? But they are from space.
It's not like I expected them to speak in our language.
Listening to them is useless.
So I just observe them.
They are pointing at the town. Being a few meters away from them, I am currently outside of the city as well.
I can see the gate.
They are heading to the gate.
'Fast' is the word I can use. They walk fast.
After 2 minutes, they entered the city.
"Maybe I should investigate their ship." I say and head to their ship.
I pray that it doesn't have any security system.
And I worked. I touch the door and it opened.
I entered with Hazel.
