Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

Just as Cui Ming finished fusing with Mechanical Ace and returned to the base from the cockpit of the Brave King, before he could even change out of his combat suit, a figure rushed over with the wind. It was none other than Camilla, who had been waiting impatiently.

"You didn't even call me for something this fun?" Camilla put her hands on her hips, her eyes slightly red, her voice full of grievance, and immediately started her "tantrum mode." She had already seen the scene of the Brave King wielding the Super Planet Light Hammer and blowing up the Naga planet on the base's surveillance cameras. The shocking scene made her itch to watch, but when she thought about how she had been excluded, her grievances instantly overshadowed her excitement.

Seeing her puffed-up face, Cui Ming was speechless for a moment, and could only helplessly twitch the corners of his mouth: "."

"You're a bad person!" Camilla pressed her advantage when he didn't speak, raising her head slightly like a little animal whose snacks had been stolen.

"How is he a bad guy?" Cui Ming finally found his voice. He really didn't expect that after just resolving a life-threatening crisis, he would have to face "interrogation by his girlfriend" as soon as he got back.

“I said you’re a bad person!” Camilla repeated unreasonably, her eyes fixed on Cui Ming as if trying to see a “repentant” expression on his face. “You didn’t invite me to do something so fun? Blowing up a planet! I’ve never seen such a huge light hammer before, and you went alone by yourself!”

"How can you be so shameless?" She took a step forward, her tone filled with even more grievance, and her voice softened.

“I think…” Cui Minggang was about to explain.

"I don't care what you think!" Camilla interrupted him directly, crossing her arms and raising her chin slightly. "How are you going to compensate me? You have to give me an explanation!" She stared at Cui Ming, her eyes filled with a hint of barely perceptible expectation—actually, she wasn't really angry, she just wanted to see how Cui Ming would coax her.

Looking at her "unforgiving" yet charmingly naive appearance, Cui Ming couldn't help but laugh: "Camilla, do you know how adorable you are like this?"

"Ouch!" Camilla gasped as if burned, clutching her chest and taking a step back, her cheeks instantly flushing red. Why did this guy suddenly say something like that! He was clearly in the wrong first, so why was it making her heart race?

No way! Camilla frantically encouraged herself internally: You can't let him get away with this so easily! He was so pitiful just now, how can you buy him off with a single word like "cute"! Damn it! He won't get away with this so easily!

Before she could even think of her next words, "demand an explanation," Cui Ming stepped forward and gently took her hand. His palm was warm and strong, carrying the faint scent of smoke from the battlefield, which instantly silenced Camilla's anger.

"Don't be angry," Cui Ming's voice was so gentle it could melt your heart. "We just finished a hot spring on the back mountain of the base. The water temperature is just right. Let me take you there to relax. Consider it compensation for your 'missed opportunity,' okay?"

Camilla's heart pounded even faster. Looking into Cui Ming's serious eyes, all the "difficult" words she had prepared stuck in her throat. She could only give a soft "hmm" and let him pull her towards the back of the mountain.

The warm hot spring water enveloped her body, and a light mist filled the air. Camilla leaned against Choi Myung, feeling the warmth of his palm; her earlier grievances had long since vanished. Choi Myung gently stroked her hair, looking at her contented profile, and couldn't help but think: Camilla is such a good woman. She was just throwing a tantrum, yet she's so easily appeased, her heart and soul completely devoted to him. How could anyone not cherish someone like her? Camilla seemed to sense his gaze, glanced up at him, then quickly looked down again, a slight smile playing on her lips—okay, she'd forgive him for now, but next time something this "fun" happened, she absolutely couldn't be left out!

The steam from the hot spring rose gently, blurring the surrounding light and shadow. Cui Ming lightly ran his fingertips across the water's surface, his gaze falling on Camilla, who was smiling gently with her eyes closed beside him. The feeling of "Camilla is such a good woman" in his heart intensified.

He recalled their first meeting. Back then, Camilla still possessed the aloofness typical of dark giants, her eyes concealing a detachment from the world. Yet, even so, when he was in danger, she didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand. Later, as they spent more time together, he discovered the softness beneath her hard exterior—she would throw a tantrum for not participating in "fun activities," her cheeks would easily flush with a compliment, and she would hide all her concerns in "tantrums" and "difficulties," but she would never truly hold a grudge.

"Thank goodness I met her early," Cui Ming sighed softly to himself. If he had been a moment later, he might have missed her, missed this pure and sincere heart. The universe is so vast; how lucky it is to meet someone who is completely devoted to you, willing to humble themselves and throw a little tantrum, and easily appeased.

He raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of hair that had fallen beside Camilla's cheek behind her ear. His fingertips touched her warm skin, and Camilla opened her eyes slightly, her eyes still hazy as if she had just woken up. When she looked at him, her gaze softened instantly, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"What are you thinking about?" Camilla asked softly, her voice languid with the steam of the hot spring.

“I’m thinking I should spend more time with you in the future.” Cui Ming didn’t hide anything and spoke earnestly. “I was always busy dealing with monsters and researching technology before, and I neglected you too much. In the future, when I have time, I will take you to see the scenery of Earth, or... next time I encounter something 'fun,' I will definitely call you first.”

Camilla's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, like a child who had received candy, but she still feigned modesty and gave a soft hum: "That's more like it, but... sightseeing is fine too. And if we encounter any powerful monsters, I can help!"

Of course, that's what she said, but Camilla didn't actually feel that Cui Ming had ignored her.
After all, they've always been acting together.

However, Cui Ming thought differently. He felt that he really owed Camilla and the others something.

So, seeing how understanding Camilla was, he reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, feeling the warmth of her body: "Okay, from now on we'll be together, whether it's seeing the scenery or fighting monsters, we'll be together."

The warm hot spring water enveloped the two of them, with only the soft sound of rising steam and their steady heartbeats remaining around them. Cui Ming closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of peace.

What a good woman.
Um.
Unbeknownst to Cui Ming, the good woman was going to mock Carmilla again tonight.
This has become a regular part of the program. (End of Chapter)
