Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

The receptionist's palms were sweating profusely. On the surface, he was still chatting casually with Saki about "the route home," but inwardly he was screaming: "Hey lady, do you know what you're saying?! Summoning monsters? If it were any other alien, they would have been taken down as a threat long ago. How can you say it so calmly? Are aliens these days so daring?" He couldn't help but steal glances at Saki, trying to see any trace of "prank" on her face, but all he saw was seriousness and anticipation, which made him even more panicked—if this was real, then he would be in big trouble.

Inside the command center, the high-ranking officials' discussion ceased. Each of them frowned, staring at Saki on the screen, their eyes filled with confusion. One of the high-ranking officials in charge of intelligence analysis couldn't help but speak up: "The extraterrestrial civilizations we've encountered before were either highly wary of Earth or had clear objectives. This is the first time we've encountered one so completely unprepared, even proactively revealing its intention to summon monsters. Is she overconfident, or have we overlooked something?"

“There’s a limit to confidence, isn’t there?” Another senior executive shook his head, his tone full of incomprehension. “This is TPC headquarters, surrounded by combat personnel. Isn’t she afraid we can just take her into custody? She even dared to say she’d call in a monster. That’s incredibly audacious, simply… ridiculously arrogant.”

For a moment, the entire command center fell silent as everyone pondered the problem. They had some experience dealing with aliens in the past, but this time, Saki was completely unpredictable. Her nonchalant attitude of "I'm going to summon monsters home, you'd better watch out" caught even the well-informed TPC executives off guard.

No one was sure: were the aliens really that "powerful" to come knocking on our door and making demands, or did this alien girl have some special advantage that allowed her to be so calm? This question weighed on everyone's mind like a stone, adding even more uncertainty to the already tense atmosphere.

Director Sawai had just finished a meeting about a new defense system when his secretary rushed in and told him about the absurd situation at the reception desk. After hearing the report that "an alien girl claimed she was summoning monsters home," even this TPC executive, who was used to big events, showed a rare look of bewilderment, standing there for a few seconds before he realized that this was even more bizarre than any monster crisis he had ever encountered before.

However, Sawai was experienced, and after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately realized that he couldn't delay. While instructing his secretary to continue monitoring the situation at the reception area and strictly prohibiting any unauthorized actions, he picked up his encrypted communicator and contacted Choi Myo and Moroboshi Dan immediately—these two were experts in handling alien and monster incidents. Choi Myo, in particular, not only had rich practical experience but also understood the habits of various extraterrestrial civilizations, and Moroboshi Dan was a veteran Ultra Warrior. Their judgments were absolutely reliable.

“Cui Ming, there’s a special situation at TPC headquarters. A girl who claims to be an alien says she’s going to summon a monster to take her home. Would it be convenient for you to come over?” Sawai’s voice came through the communicator, tinged with urgency, yet still calm.

Meanwhile, Choi Myung-gang had just finished strolling through the park with Asuka and was looking for a place to have dinner when he received a call from Sawai. He initially thought he had misheard. After hearing the details, he couldn't help but rub his forehead, his tone full of speechlessness: "Summoning a monster home? You went straight to TPC to say that?"

After hanging up the phone, Asuka looked at his expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Choi? Did something happen?"

“An alien girl came to TPC, saying she’d call a monster to pick her up,” Cui Ming shook his head, a wry smile on his face. “This alien is pretty formidable…”

He leaned back on a park bench, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knees, his mind racing: Was she genuinely naive, or did she have ulterior motives? If she was naive, then she was taking TPC far too lightly. After all, the words "summoning monsters" were equivalent to a potential threat in the eyes of any Earth defense organization. Wasn't she afraid of being directly treated as an enemy and taken into custody? But if she had ulterior motives, then what was her purpose? Was deliberately revealing the information about "summoning monsters" to provoke TPC into action, or was there some other, deeper scheme at play?
Cui Ming recalled the various aliens he had encountered before: malicious invaders, neutral observers, and innocent people who had accidentally become stranded on Earth. But this was the first one who was so straightforward and "bold." He took out his phone and sent a message to Moroboshi Dan, confirming that the other had also received Sawai's notification. The two agreed to meet at TPC headquarters.

“Let’s go, Asuka, let’s go to TPC and check things out first,” Choi Myung stood up and took Asuka’s hand. “And let’s see what’s going on with this ‘brave’ alien girl.”

Asuka nodded and squeezed Choi Ming's hand—she knew that no matter what the situation, Choi Ming would handle it well. However, she couldn't help but wonder what the alien girl who dared to directly tell TPC she wanted to summon a monster looked like. On the way to TPC headquarters, Choi Ming's doubts didn't dissipate; instead, they were replaced by worry—could this be another honey trap set by the enemy, specifically targeting Seven?

The moment this thought crossed Cui Ming's mind, he felt a little helpless, yet he couldn't help but consider it. After all, Dan Moroboshi was good in every way—strong, experienced, and devoted to Earth and humanity—but he was always prone to letting his guard down when it came to using "honey traps." It wasn't that aliens hadn't exploited this before, disguising themselves as innocent women to approach Dan, either to steal information or to set traps. Several times, these attempts had put the situation in a very passive position, and although they were ultimately resolved without serious consequences, they were still enough to teach a lesson.

Now, a girl suddenly appears claiming to be an alien, and she just happens to choose a place like TPC headquarters, saying she wants to summon monsters home—it all seems a bit "deliberate." Choi Myung couldn't help but wonder: What if this girl is an enemy in disguise? Is she deliberately acting innocent and saying outrageous things to attract attention, actually to lure out Dan Moroboshi, then use her beauty to seduce him and sabotage him? After all, Dan is always easily swayed by "women in trouble," and if the girl's acting is convincing enough, she might actually succeed.

"Choi, what are you thinking about?" Asuka noticed that Choi's pace had slowed down and he was frowning, so she couldn't help but tug at his hand.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried," Choi Myung shook his head and explained to Asuka, "I'm afraid that the alien girl is part of the enemy's scheme, targeting Dan-senpai."

Upon hearing this, Asuka immediately understood—she had also heard that Dan Moroboshi was easily tricked by women, and she immediately became nervous: "What should we do? Should we tell Dan-senpai in advance to be careful?"

“I’ve already sent him a message to remind him,” Cui Ming sighed. “Hopefully he’ll be more careful this time.”

In truth, Cui Ming didn't want to think so badly of people, but when it came to the safety of Moroboshi Dan and Earth, he had to be cautious. After all, the enemy's methods were endless, and there had been enough lessons learned before. If he were to let them take advantage of a moment's carelessness, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The closer Cui Ming got to TPC headquarters, the more vigilant he became. He touched the weapon hidden on his person, mentally preparing himself: whether the alien girl was truly naive or feigning innocence, he would react immediately if anything seemed amiss. As for his senior, he could only offer a few more words of advice, hoping he could resist the temptation of the "honey trap" this time and not cause any more worry.

Reaching the entrance of TPC headquarters, Choi Myung took a deep breath, took Asuka's hand, and walked inside—no matter what the truth was, he had to find out in person. However, he couldn't shake off his worry about the "honey trap" plot.

Why.
Seven is still too easy to target! (End of Chapter)
