Origin, Chicken Yakitori, and a Fix

In the next few days, Luke continued to lay out a long line to catch a big fish. He silently monitored the high school boy, Ueno, as the latter snuck out to look for people at night.

His interrogation of the two monsters had also progressed significantly, and he now had a rough idea of their origin.

Reportedly, they had come to Earth during the Leo meteor shower, and the 'scouts' had been on one of the Life Foundation's deep-space probes that had returned safely.

The name this species called themselves was a strange sound; clearly, there was no equivalent word for it on Earth.

Luke simply called them Parasites.

However, they were different from actual parasite bugs.

The Parasites were quite intelligent and also had a societal structure.

Their king had discovered the deep-space probe, which was clearly manmade.

As per their usual practice, this king sent a bunch of baby Parasites to Earth on the probe.
