The next morning, Asta gathered all his friends at his house to talk about what had happened the previous day. They all wanted to go to outer space and wipe out the aliens that existed in the universe — but none of them knew how to get there.
Just then, their Armorbot suddenly lit up and emitted a strong signal from an unknown source. The Armorbot spoke, saying that the signal was actually a message from someone. When Asta opened the message, a voice began to play:
"Are you the ones who saved the Armorbot I created?
If so, I would like to meet you in Jurba City."
Asta was puzzled. Who could this person be? Could it really be the creator of the Armorbot?
If so, they had to meet him and ask for help to travel to outer space.
Choji spoke up, "But isn't Jurbu City dangerous?"
Hina added, "Yeah, it's a criminal city!"
Despite their concerns, Asta was determined. "We have to go. This might be our only chance."
After some hesitation, everyone agreed.
The next day, they began their journey to Jurba City. Along the way, they stopped in a small town to restock their supplies, since they were running low.
Asta, Hina, and Felix entered a food store to buy provisions, while Choji waited outside, eating some snacks. Suddenly, Choji looked up and saw what seemed like a falling star — not too far from where they were. He quickly reported it to Asta.
After hearing what Choji saw, the group rushed to the crash site, walking through a nearby park until they arrived. There, they saw a spaceship — unlike any they had encountered before.
Asta activated the Armorbot's scanner, Iris, to analyze the ship. The scan revealed that there was a living being inside — an alien, and it was alone.
Asta cautiously entered the ship, ready to fight, but before he could attack, the alien shouted,
"Waaait! Don't attack me!"
Asta blinked in surprise. "You… you can talk?"
The alien nodded nervously. "Yes, I can. My name is Coco."
Asta and his friends approached carefully, then introduced themselves. To their surprise, Coco was friendly. He explained that he had come to Earth searching for the humans who saved the Armorbot.
"Are those the four Armorbot units you rescued?" Coco asked.
Asta nodded. "That's right. My friends and I were the ones who saved them from the evil aliens."
Coco sighed in relief. "I'm so glad I finally found you, Asta."
"Why were you looking for me?" Asta asked.
Coco replied, "Because I want to invite you and your friends to join the PGU — the Protectors of Galactic Unity."
Asta's eyes lit up. "Really?! That means we can go to outer space!"
Coco nodded. "Yes, but… there's a problem."
Asta frowned. "Huh? What problem?"
Coco sighed. "For now, we can't go to space. My spaceship is damaged. When I was trying to land, I fell asleep, and the ship went out of control."
Asta chuckled. "Seriously? So, can it be fixed?"
"It can," Coco said, "but it'll take time. I also need to find someone who's an expert in repairing spacecraft."
Asta asked, "And where can you find that person?"
Coco paused. "If I'm not mistaken… in Jurba City."
Everyone gasped.
Hina said, "We were already planning to go there! We got a message from someone asking to meet us in that city."
Felix added, "Yeah! Could that person be the same one you're talking about — the spacecraft mechanic?"
Coco shrugged. "I'm not sure. But the information I have points to that city."
Asta smiled. "Then this isn't just a coincidence. Someone definitely wants to meet us for a reason."
Coco climbed into Asta's vehicle, and together, they continued their journey toward Jurbu City…
