## Summary

The people of Earth don't have the technology to travel to other planets with intelligent life. However, other planets possess such technology and can travel to Earth and commit heinous acts upon the earthlings. Such lawless zones are called "Aliens Area".

A schoolmate stops Tatsumi after school and reminds him he was called to the staff room, but Tatsumi doesn't care as he has other things to do and even turned the sports scholarship. Tatsumi then goes to work and delivers the evening newspaper. His boss asks him if he intends to go to collage, but gets annoyed by his reaction. His mother then gives Tatsumi some simmered potatoes. At home, Tatsumi shares it with his siblings and tells them to pay respect to their parents. Taro points out that Sachi can't sit at the table with her backpack, but Tatsumi allows it just for today. Taro finds it unfair, but Tatsumi tells him that he is too young for a backpack, especially when he cuddles like this. While the kids argue, Tatsumi recalls how expensive the backpack was and that he may need another job. As he has to take care for them, he needs to work and won't be able to go to university.

Working at a ramen shop, Tatsumi feels his right arm being weird again and ends up breaking a bow and cutting himself. However, his wound heals quickly. A girl that works there, sees it and surprised breaks another bow. Tatsumi starts to explain that he started to heal faster after he got hurt during a fire at his house. The ramen owner decides to fire Tatsumi for breaking yet another bow, but the girl confesses up it was she who broke it. Tatsumi goes to see a doctor, but he doesn't see anything wrong with his arm and guesses its psychological issue. Outside the doctor's room, he meets a man named Hajime Sharaku, who comments that the doctor gave up without even trying to understand. Hajime shows a police badge and asks Tatsumi to voluntarily come with him and explaining its about the fire from six years ago. Tatsumi refuses and recalls that during the fire as the flames were closing, he saw a shinning light. The investigators told him it was due to shock, as his parents had just died and didn't bother looking further.

Heading home, Tatsumi sees a strange man in front of his apartment. He guesses its some weirdo and decides to ignore him. As he enters inside, he sees a second man. The other man also enters stating they want to talk. Tatsumi notices that their eyes are strange. As they block the ways out, he checks his phone to see there is no signal. The second man then touches the wall, crushing it. Tatsumi's right arm starts to shake. The first man tells him that this is what they are after, as its too precious for an earthling to have it. As Tatsumi's arm turn black, the second man explains that the radio waves and electromagnetic waves interfere with each other, due to many forms of energy travelling in three-dimensional space and in similar types of waves. The poor condition of his right arm is result of interference from outer space energy. An outer space substance was embedded in him and they are ready to kill him to extract it. Tatsumi can't understand what is going on. Taro and Sachi come home and Tatsumi tries to tell them to run, however, they get caught by the first man, who comment that as they have seen him, they need to die now. Tatsumi tries his best to reach him and his right arm ends up extending, punching the man and sending him flying through the door and across the street. That angers the second man, who cries and slaps Tatsumi, making him fall on the ground and unable to move. The man then states he will make him suffer and decides to start with the kids. Tatsumi tells Taro to run and call for help, but crying, Taro goes to hug Tatsumi. Tatsumi manages to stand up and grabs the kids, asking his right hand to do it again. The man tells him this is technology and begging won't make it work.

Hajime appear behind the man and stops him, confirming that technology works by precise mechanisms. The man tries to attack Hajime, but Hajime dodges and using his cane, he pins him on his knees. Hajime explains that Section 5 of the Foreign Affairs Division in the Public Security Bureau is the police task force that handles aliens and he is an investigator from Section 5. He takes out a rubber band, which extends and multiplies and manages to neutralize the alien. As other men arrive to take the alien, Hajime tells Tatsumi he has two options. They to erase his memory and make this look like gas explosion, so that he continues his normal life. Or he can come with him under the protection of Foreign Affairs 5. Hajime explains that five years ago, aliens conducted human experiments. They are seeking the victims from that time and if they wish, they can work for them. They guess, the aliens were conducting biological experiments and implanted people with substances and released them. Some people had gathered hearing the noise, but Hajime's men flash them and erase their memory. Hajime wants Tatsumi to come and work with him in preserving coexistence between aliens and earthlings.
