Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"That makes sense. What could it be?" Aihara Ryu nodded slightly in agreement, then muttered to himself in confusion.

"Could it be a blind date?" Hiroto Saka wondered, thinking about what he had seen on his way to work.

“Emmm…” Aihara Ryu fell silent upon hearing this.

Shingo Sakamizu, who was making coffee, found it quite reasonable and was also very curious.

Although Kazuya Serizawa has been acting strangely lately, he hasn't been thinking about Ultraman. After all, having three Ultramen at once is just too much.

Upon hearing Hiroto Saka's guess, he felt it was very likely.

"Let's change the subject!"

Regardless of whether it's true or not, there's no need to continue the conversation. Aihara Ryu immediately changed the subject, "Captain, can the weapon systems of the Wing and the Goose Loader be upgraded?"

"Upgrading is not a problem, but we don't have enough time."

After all, the new fighter jet is the most advanced and stable aircraft currently available, and upgrading it would not be possible to complete it in a short period of time.

"Oh~" Aihara Ryu said with some disappointment.

Knowing what Aihara Ryu was thinking, Sakomizu Shingo added, "As for the other weapons, I have already applied to headquarters, and we will have a result soon."

"real!"

Shingo Sakami nodded slowly, indicating that he was not lying.

'Pursuing military might...'

The changes are quite significant.

While mentally complaining, Fang Rui recalled what the third monster that appeared was, wondering if there was an opportunity for him to appear.

He wasn't one to stay idle; he hadn't posted anything for several days, and Fang Rui was getting restless.

According to his memory, if there were no external forces, the third monster to appear would be the volcanic bird Barton.

Due to his racial characteristics, Barton has always lived in the volcano. Unless there is a need to go out, he will remain in the volcano to sleep and slowly increase his strength.

As for what was necessary for going out, it was for hunting and giving birth.

For monsters, ordinary food is hard to satisfy their hunger, so many monsters have rather strange diets. Monsters that feed on magma energy are quite common, and Barton is one of them.

Besides magma energy, Barton also eats other things.

During the breeding season, Barton will come to the ground and gather materials to build a nest.

In addition, the disturbed Patton will also come to the ground.

Regardless of the reason why Barton would come to the ground later, Fang Rui believed it was a suitable opportunity to make his appearance and, incidentally, save Mebius.

While being pecked by Patton might not necessarily be fatal, it's best to avoid it if possible, since Patton's venom is really... poisonous.

After all, Mebius's performance after being hit, and certain other examples, are enough to prove it.

Moreover, Mebius is a bit simple-minded, and if we don't help him conceal his identity, it will be easy for it to be exposed.

Chapter 488 An Interlude Before the Dinner

after all……

The GUYS of today is different from the GUYS in the story. In the story, the GUYS was formed through Mebius's efforts, and the bonds between the members were at their maximum. But now...

Those connected to Mebius did not join the team, and those currently in the team, while not entirely without any bond, have very low bond levels.

If the problem is exposed, even if it's impossible to guess that Hibino Mirai is Ultraman, people will still speculate that he's an alien, which will affect Mebius's experience of life.

After that, it would be good if we could at least avoid being treated like aliens, let alone forming bonds.

After venting his frustrations, Fang Rui stopped overthinking and waited quietly.

On the other hand, Shingo Sakami contacted headquarters to request weapons.

After all, the base's current weapons, while capable of penetrating the monsters' defenses, are not sufficient to inflict fatal damage, thus requiring more powerful weapons.

While Sakahiro and the future were inviting Kazama Marina and the others, Serizawa Kazuya was still tracking Bogaru, under Hikari's command...

Unfortunately, Bogaru was exceptionally fast, and every time he saw Serizawa, he would run away without ever intending to fight.

Hikari's anger grew stronger with each escape, while his physical strength weakened.

After all, the Giant of Light is also somewhat connected to humans. He has been relentlessly pursuing Bogaru without ever taking a proper rest. Furthermore, the resentment of the Armor of Vengeance and the radiance of the Giant of Light are inherently contradictory.

Therefore, with the continued weakening effect of the Vengeance Armor's side effects, Hikari's life force was slowly draining away...

Since Hikari had not yet appeared, Fang Rui did not recall the scientist.

Besides, the Land of Light has been keeping an eye on Hikari, so there won't be any problems.

After all, he is a treasure of the Land of Light, the director of the Technology Development Bureau. Perhaps half of the Land of Light's top technology is due to him, so how could they not send someone to keep an eye on him?

………………

Fang Rui, who was studying something in his consciousness space, discovered several days later that several people had appeared in GUYS's office, and all of them had familiar faces, whom he had met a few times before...

It was through the tireless efforts of Kazama Marina and others that the group was persuaded to join the GUYS team.

Since there was no "fighter jet flame pattern painting incident" to boost favorability, Aihara Ryu's relationship with the others was relatively ordinary, just that of a newcomer and a senior.

After all, Kazuya Serizawa is still alive, and Ryu Aihara's emotions are relatively stable.

On the other hand, Kazuya Serizawa worked diligently during the day and spent some of his nighttime rest searching for Bogaru. This reduced rest time led to decreased energy, and his weakness was visibly apparent.

Therefore, Aihara Ryu didn't have the energy to argue with the newcomers; instead, he wanted to know if the vice-captain was in trouble.

Other speculations exist, such as what Secretary Yuan said: being overly exploited by his girlfriend led to his weakness...

GUYS's assistant, Toriyama, agreed, saying he was an experienced person with experience in this area.

Shingo Sakamizu did not express his opinion. Although he held a high official position, he was still young and had not yet experienced such hardships.

Aihara Ryu was conflicted upon hearing this. If that was really the case, it wouldn't be easy to ask, and if it were true, it would be very awkward to say it.

This is why the "investigation" has not made any progress.

But the situation is terrible now, and Aihara Ryu believes that a real investigation is necessary, otherwise he has a feeling that the vice-captain might faint...

With that in mind, Aihara Ryu was thinking about how to ask about this matter.

"A new team member has joined, so we're having a get-together tonight! Ryu, please let Serizawa know..."

"That's right! You can ask during the gathering!" Aihara Ryu looked enlightened. If the atmosphere at a party is lively and you feel involved, you'll feel more involved and it will be much easier to ask the question then...

"What to eat?"

"I want to eat barbecue!"

"Sukiyaki is great!"

"How about some sushi? I know a really good one!"

"I recommend Chinese food; some of their congee is delicious!"

Everyone enthusiastically discussed what to eat, and one after another expressed their opinions.

Shingo Sakami smiled and quietly watched everyone from the side. As the director, his salary was very high, so he didn't have to worry about expenses.

"I suggest eating grilled meat and sukiyaki together..."

Saka Hiroto overheard Fang Rui rambling on about sukiyaki, while he himself wanted to eat yakiniku (grilled meat), so he decided to combine the two.

"Good idea, but are there any shops that sell both kinds of food?"

Barbecue restaurants generally don't sell sukiyaki, and similarly, shops that sell sukiyaki don't usually offer barbecue, since the cooking utensils required for the two dishes are very different.

"Yes, there is." Hiroto Saka said with certainty.

“Yes, there is.” Shingo Sakamizu said. Where there is demand, there is a market.

Some clubs cater exclusively to the wealthy. If you want to eat barbecue and sukiyaki, you can even have stargazing and grilled durian.

Besides, grilled meat and sukiyaki are both common dishes, and many shops sell them. It's just that very few people would eat them together like this, so it's not widely known.

"I know a barbecue restaurant that meets your requirements. What do you think?"

Saying this, Shingo Sakamizu looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

"In addition to barbecue and sukiyaki, we also have sushi, grilled food, oden and other dishes."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this; what kind of restaurant has such a wide variety of dishes?

Aihara Ryu, however, had a thoughtful expression on his face, as did his assistant Toriyama and secretary Madoka.

As for Teppei Hisahara, he's the heir to a renowned hospital and a model student; Marina Kazama is a professional race car driver, spending most of her time training and not indulging in leisure activities; and George Ikaruga is a famous soccer player with high standards for himself. Therefore…

None of the three expected it to be an izakaya; they were all guessing it would be something high-end.

After all, the fact that they can sell so many dishes is enough to prove that the shop is big and has many chefs... at least that's how it seems to Kazama Marina and the others.

Unfortunately, none of them realized that the thickness of an izakaya's menu depends on how many dishes the owner can cook and how many kitchen utensils they have.

“I have no objection,” Aihara Ryu said.

Compared to those high-end restaurants with many rules, Aihara Ryu prefers izakayas, at least they are more free and easy.

“I agree…” Toriyama gently patted his stomach. He’d been having some stomach problems lately, so eating something light was good for him.

When Shingo Sakamizu mentioned that the izakaya served oden, he decided to agree.

Secretary Yuan had no objections. Since it was someone else's treat, he didn't have any demands; he was happy as long as there was food.

As for the other three, they looked at each other for a while, eager to see a shop that could cook so many dishes, and also agreed.

So the group set off.

On the other side, in the suburbs...

In the remote mountains, amidst lush forests, Serizawa Kazuya swiftly traverses the woods, chasing after someone.

shhhhhh...

The laser gun fired continuously, piercing through trees and shattering rocks, but it failed to hit the enemy even once.

"Hehehe!" Bogaru let out a disgusting and mocking laugh, moving through the forest with an eerie gait, showing no intention of getting entangled with Serizawa Kazuya, nor of leaving...

It was as if they were deliberately luring Serizawa Kazuya, moving towards a certain place with a specific purpose.
