"Someone?" Hong Kai looked enlightened and shifted his gaze to Fang Rui. If he remembered correctly, Fang Rui also had the Orb Ring, so it was normal for him to be able to contact the Ring of Light.
“That’s right, it’s me!” Seeing Hong Kai’s gaze fall on him, Fang Rui nodded slightly, indicating that you guessed right.
"The specifics of the mission are not to defeat any monsters, but simply to have you participate in an activity."
"What activity?" Hong Kai asked, somewhat puzzled. His boss, who had been urging him to work, had suddenly given him a day off, creating a sense of unreality.
"It's an ordinary event; you can think of it as a sports meet jointly organized by several schools."
Fang Rui's simple explanation did not dispel some of Hong Kai's doubts, but he did not ask any further questions.
Since it's not work, let's keep it a little mysterious and give ourselves a surprise.
Thinking this through, he then asked about something else: "What are you talking about, Jugglus Juggler?"
He already had a guess in his mind, but still needed to confirm it.
"A fledgling soldier might need your guidance, after all, you're a senior!"
Jugglus's tone was slightly sarcastic, but Kai's expression didn't change at all; he was used to it, having heard it often before.
"A new soldier?" Hong Kai rubbed his cheek. He really didn't have anything to do lately, so staying here to help was no problem.
In his early, inexperienced phase, he also relied on the help of his seniors to get through it.
It's perfectly reasonable to help newcomers now.
but……
Since we'll be staying here for a while, how should we arrange accommodation?
Kai turned his gaze to Jugglus Juggler. Although he didn't say anything, Jugglus Juggler had already guessed what he was thinking and said, "I'll arrange accommodation for you near the armory."
"Thanks, Jugglus!" Kai patted Jugglus on the shoulder, his tone slightly joyful.
"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮" Jugglus Juggler raised his head slightly.
"Let's go back to the armory first!"
There's an alien who loves playing games hiding in the shadows, and monsters appear quite frequently.
By the way, is it possible to have one a day?
Lost in thought about all sorts of random things, Fang Rui returned to the armory, where Hong Kai surveyed the armory...
During his travels, he didn't like to have contact with official organizations, perhaps due to the lingering trauma of his early days?
After all, that person was really a real pain!
"Captain, you're back!" Upon arriving at the training room, Yoko Nakajima was resting in a corner.
Haruki Natsukawa is receiving instruction from Zephyr, mainly learning some techniques.
"What do you think?" Jugglus asked Yoko for her opinion.
"Very impressive!" A very straightforward exclamation.
Hong Kai's gaze fell on Zephyr. His intuition, honed through countless battles, told him that this man was extremely powerful, a threat no less than that of a monster.
"That's amazing!" he exclaimed in return.
Jugglus glanced at him but said nothing. Yoko Nakajima and Yuka Ota were quite interested in the newcomer.
I hadn't seen the team leader's friends much before, but recently I've been seeing them one after another.
Well, I was quite surprised...
"Hello!" Noticing their gazes, Hong Kai nodded in response.
"I am Hong Kai, a friend of Hebikura."
On the way here, Jugglus Juggler specifically told Kai about this, just in case he said something wrong.
“Hello, I am…” Yuka Ota and Yoko Nakajima introduced themselves one after the other.
Next, Kai steered the conversation toward Jugglus Juggler, asking him about his life in recent years, as he was still very curious about Jugglus Juggler's life as captain.
The two didn't think there was anything wrong and chatted about everyday things.
Jugglus listened from the side but did not stop the two. It was nothing important, and there was no need to interfere.
Hong Kai listened quietly, inwardly marveling at the changes in Jugglus Juggler.
Fang Rui listened to these stories as well, but he felt no emotion; he simply treated them as mere narratives.
Under his intervention, Jugglus Juggler's experience may have changed a little, but ultimately it didn't change much.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's go eat!"
At this time of day, it's a bit late to have breakfast and a bit early to have lunch, but going to the shopping street for a meal is a perfect option, since choosing a restaurant and getting there both take some time.
"Eat?" Natsukawa Haruki asked, puzzled. He looked at the clock on the wall, wondering what kind of meal it was at this time.
"Let's go to a dinner party, it's on me!"
"Great!"
As soon as Jugglus Juggler spoke, Yuka Ota cheered.
Although we just had a meal together yesterday, who would complain about a big meal?
"Where to eat? What to eat?" Hong Kai, who was also a foodie, asked immediately.
"Barbecue or sukiyaki, it's up to you," Jugglus Juggler said.
"Don't you have sushi?" Yuka Ota asked.
She ate something greasy yesterday, so she wants something light today.
The flavor of sushi is relatively mild.
“I prefer cooked food,” Fang Rui suddenly said.
“Me too.” Hong Kai chimed in. When wandering in space, a hot meal is a very comforting thing. Raw food… he doesn’t really like it.
"Add one." Jugglus Juggler said the same thing; he preferred cooked food.
“I also prefer cooked food.” Zephyr made the same choice, after all, he had always eaten all kinds of cooked food.
With the score overwhelmingly favoring her, Ota Yuka naturally didn't continue insisting on sushi.
Instead, he said, "I choose sukiyaki."
We had barbecue yesterday, so we should definitely have something different today.
"Sure." The others had no objections, and instead began discussing how delicious the sukiyaki at that restaurant was…
After a period of discussion, a particular restaurant was chosen.
Then Natsukawa Haruki and the others took a bath and changed clothes, while Fang Rui and the others went ahead to the store to order food.
Besides sukiyaki, the group also ordered some other dishes, all of which were cooked and none were raw.
………………
Meanwhile, somewhere outside the city, a ravenous monster awoke and began searching for food...
It had not yet reached the vicinity of the city and was not detected, so naturally there were no alarms in the city, and everything in the city was as usual.
As the monster entered the human-populated town, alarms blared throughout the city, and the residents expertly headed to their shelters.
Upon hearing the alarm, Jugglus Juggler and the others, who were having a meal together, did not hesitate for a moment and immediately rushed towards the armory.
As for Fang Rui and the others, they did not take any action. It was impossible for them to stay in the store to continue eating, as the owner was closing the store and heading to the shelter.
Customers dining in the shop naturally had to leave and head to the shelter.
To be fair, it's only in a world where monster disasters are frequent that so many shelters would be built in the city.
Standing by the roadside, looking at the empty street, Fang Rui felt a slight sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including a touch of emotion, and a touch of melancholy). People really moved so quickly! The alarm hadn't even been sounding for ten minutes!
At the same time, the Armory was mobilized, with transport planes carrying Sevenger to the area where the monster was located, and support vehicles also traveling to the area to provide assistance to Sevenger.
"How do you feel?" Fang Rui asked from the top of a building.
"Sevengar, has it appeared here before?" Hong Kai was more concerned about something else. Sevengar was somewhat famous in interstellar space. As a mechanical creation, its combat power was relatively ordinary, but there was always a reason for its appearance in a certain place.
It is a mechanical creation after all!
"Probably!" Fang Rui, who lacked knowledge about this, did not give a definite answer.
How could a stranger like him possibly know whether Sevenger had existed in this world before?
However, judging from its appearance and name, it should have appeared before.
However, the Sevenger in the Armory is significantly different from the real Sevenger. Even though Sevengers have appeared before, the Armory has not been able to preserve them; at most, some people have seen them...
"In that case, there must be quite a few aliens living on this planet..."
In just half a day, he saw many familiar things, which was enough to prove that aliens lived here.
“There will definitely be a lot,” Fang Rui explained. “Although monsters occur frequently, this planet is generally quite stable.”
“Indeed.” Hong Kai nodded slightly. Ultraman had only appeared not long ago. Before Ultraman, the fact that the armory could maintain stability already spoke volumes.
Many extraterrestrials would choose to settle on a stable planet, since the planet's technology is backward and has nothing to do with extraterrestrials.
"Pretty impressive." Gai Hong exclaimed as he watched Sevenger fight the monster.
He had traveled to many places and seen many forces capable of defeating monsters, but Sevenger clearly didn't have that strength...
"Do you think Sevenger can win?" Fang Rui suddenly asked.
"Impossible. It has limited energy, limited activity time, and weak attack capabilities. I can't think of any reason why it could win."
Hong Kai slowly shook his head. He was very curious as to why the Sevenger carried so few weapons, even more than fighter jets!
This is a weapon used to fight monsters!
"I had the same thought. I was very curious about its designer and why it was designed to be melee combat."
Fang Rui rubbed his cheek, looking very curious.
“Perhaps it’s energy constraints,” Zephyr suggested, indicating a highly probable option.
“If it’s an energy weapon, then there is indeed this limitation,” Hong Kai agreed.
After all, energy is limited. If a large number of energy weapons are added, Sevenger's action time will probably be reduced to less than a minute.
