Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

After Cyclone pierced the red sphere as a red light, it did not immediately leave Earth. The red sphere hovered twice in the air before slowly descending in front of Choi Myung. When the light dissipated, Dan Moroboshi appeared in the same spot—he was wearing his signature dark coat, still clutching that familiar hat in his hand, with a relaxed smile on his face, showing no signs of fatigue from the fierce battle he had just experienced.

"Great, this place is really nice." Dan Moroboshi looked up at the human soldiers cleaning up the battlefield in the distance, his eyes full of satisfaction, and he couldn't hide the smile on his lips. "I saw it from the sky just now. Your troops cooperated very well. They didn't panic and didn't abandon any of their comrades. Humans like this are really good."

Seeing his undisguised admiration, Cui Ming couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Senior, are you planning to stay a few more days?"

“Of course,” Dan Moroboshi walked to the command vehicle, leaned against the door, and spoke casually. “Firstly, I want to talk to you, and secondly, I need to check on the situation here—in case there are still Gazorts who have escaped, or new threats emerge, I can’t let you shoulder the burden alone.” He paused, then added, “Besides, I also want to see more of these ‘good kids.’ After all, it’s rare to see humans who would fight to this extent for peace.”

Upon hearing this, Cui Ming felt a warmth rise in his heart. He knew that Dan Moroboshi's words were not just polite talk—as the "Ultimate Lover King," Seven's favoritism towards humans was always on display, especially when he saw humans fighting with all their might to protect their home, he cared more than anyone else.

"By the way, senior, how's it going over there?" Cui Ming suddenly remembered the Seth team and asked, "You said the Seth team had a new mission, has it been finalized yet?"

Mentioning the Seth Squad, Dan Moroboshi's smile deepened: "It's alright. Due to the Seth Squad's excellent performance in fighting the space monsters, the higher-ups have decided to let them continue to be responsible for the defense of the area around Earth, and there's no need to adjust their organization for the time being."

"Uh," Cui Ming's lips twitched when he heard this—he thought there would be new changes in the Seth team, but he didn't expect it to be the same old mission.

Dan Moroboshi seemed to read his mind, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hint of teasing, "That's right, you're still the captain of the Seth team, Choi. If there are any cross-regional joint missions in the future, we'll need your help to coordinate them."

"..." Cui Ming was silent for a few seconds, sighed inwardly, but didn't have much resistance - after all, he was familiar with the members of the Seth team. Whether it was their fighting style or their personalities, they had worked together very well. If a new batch of members were replaced, he would be worried.

"Forget it, at least my teammates are all from the Set team." Cui Ming muttered to himself, his tone somewhat relieved. "Who knows what kind of monsters or demons the new teammates will be? If we encounter someone who's afraid of monsters or someone who's a burden, it'll just cause more trouble."

Dan Moroboshi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You're still so cautious. But that's true, familiar teammates are more important than anything else." He looked up at the darkening sky, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat something and talk while we eat—I want to hear about your and Lightning Man's plans for the future, don't try to handle it all by yourself."

Cui Ming nodded, turned and gave a few instructions into the communicator, telling the team to continue clearing the battlefield. Then he followed Moroboshi Dan towards the temporary camp in the distance. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, elongating their shadows as they walked side by side. The smell of gunpowder in the air gradually dissipated, leaving only the tacit understanding and peace of mind between the "Guardians".

In the rest area of ​​the temporary camp, Daigo was helping the medics adjust the bandages on the wounded when he heard footsteps and looked up, just in time to see Cui Ming leading a man in a dark coat towards him. The man wore a wide-brimmed hat, and his eyes revealed a calm sharpness; he was none other than Dan Moroboshi, the human form who had just transformed into Ultraman Seven. "Daigo, come here for a moment," Cui Ming beckoned, his tone gentler than usual, "Let me introduce you to a senior, Dan Moroboshi."

Daigo quickly put down the bandage in his hand, walked over quickly, unconsciously rubbed his hands on the hem of his clothes, and bowed slightly: "Hello, Dan Moroboshi-senpai! I am Daigo from the GUTS team!" His voice was a little nervous - after all, the person in front of him was the human form of Ultraman Seven. When he was a child, he watched the tokusatsu series "Ultraman Seven" and he even put a poster of Seven on his bedside.

Dan Moroboshi stared at Daigo for a few seconds, a slow smile creeping onto his lips. He patted Daigo's shoulder and said, "Don't be so reserved, kid." He had heard a lot about Daigo from Choi Megei on the way here, and knew that this kid was not only Tiga's human form, but also always at the forefront of battles. Seeing that he was a little shy but had sincere eyes, he was even more satisfied. "He does seem a bit simple-minded, but he's obedient and polite, much better than some of his impetuous juniors."

Daigo blushed from the praise, scratched his head and chuckled, but didn't refute the "simple and honest" assessment—he knew that sometimes his reactions were a beat slow.

Choi Myung watched with his arms crossed, then suddenly added, "Senior, he's not only obedient, but he's also watched your tokusatsu dramas, so he's practically a fan."

"Oh?" Dan Moroboshi raised an eyebrow, looking at Daigo with interest. "So what do you think of Seven in the show?"

"Amazing!" Daigo's eyes lit up instantly, his tone full of admiration. "Especially when he cuts monsters with the ice axe, and there's the cluster ray. I used to imitate it when I was a kid!" He paused suddenly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, as if he remembered something, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Cui Ming noticed the change in his expression and a knowing smile appeared on his lips—he should remember now.

Sure enough, Daigo stared at Cui Ming for a few seconds, then quickly glanced at Moroboshi Dan. His pupils suddenly contracted, and it felt like a string in his heart had snapped. He had always felt that the name "Cui Ming" and the code name "Storm One" sounded familiar, especially when he saw Cui Ming summon Seven and fight monsters with his bare hands. He felt like he had seen a similar setting somewhere before.

Now, looking at Dan Moroboshi—Seven's human form in the tokusatsu series—and recalling Choi Myo's unpredictable fighting prowess and the confidence with which he casually pulled out the Ultra Red Ball, Daigo's mind went blank for a moment, and he finally understood.

Damn it.
Isn't the instructor the same Storm One from the tokusatsu spin-off series?! That ruthless character who fought alien creatures to the death in the apocalypse, single-handedly defended against super monsters, and even made Yapool terrified!

No wonder the instructor is so skilled; even Ultraman is willing to help him. No wonder he knows the habits of monsters so well, and can even accurately take Ultraman's power into account when formulating battle plans—he's a seasoned veteran who has fought in other universes for five years and reincarnated countless times!
