I Just Wanna Leave Already

Now that the mind-control alien has fallen, the Serpo it warped revert to their old selves and spot Momo lying battered, a perfect chance to seize her. Momo bluffs that her Moe Moe Tri-Beam still has fight in it, but the crowd of Serpo ignore the threat and close in. Before they can act, the lone Serpo who aided her earlier yanks them out of Empty Space, convinced the two sides must unite against a shared foe. As he treats her, Momo presses him about the enemy's identity. He admits ignorance, since the group fits none of the 666 catalogued species and most likely hails from deep space, relying on a transmission relay such as the Egyptian pyramids to warp across the void. Learning that Japan's equivalent relay is the Kofun mounds leaves her stunned. When she asks whether a kaiju appeared during the raid on his clones, he confirms her fear about Bamora, then cautions her that an assault has struck her companions as well, pushing for a quick rescue before it is too late.

Momo demands to be sent back to her own dimension. The Serpo agrees only if he may tag along to recover the data his race lost, but she rebuffs him, still branding his kind an enemy and threatening to wipe him out should they cross paths again. A glance at the clock changes her plans: it is past ten, and returning home means colliding with Reiko Kashima. To dodge that, she holes up until dawn inside the Kappatsu Club manga cafe, wearing the Serpo as a disguise because she is underage.

The Serpo adopts the name Rokuro during this chapter. It belongs to Volume 11 within the Space Globalists Arc and the Kintama Hunt Saga, was published on December 13, 2022, and spans nineteen pages.
