Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Back in the Night Raid team's meeting room, after listening to Shiori Hiraki's words, before Eisuke Kurau could even speak, Nagi Saijo reluctantly preemptively said:

"I'm tired of hearing it."

"But look, it's clearly not a mutant beast, yet it can grow so big and become so powerful. So what exactly is it?"

"Ultraman".

"Eh!!"

Shiori Hiraki, who was poking Subaru's cheek, was startled by the sound and clung to Nagi Saijo like a koala. Nagi, who instinctively reached for her gun, was exasperated and silently glanced at Eisuke Wakura beside her. The captain nodded, stepped forward, and looked at the boy who had opened his eyes but couldn't hide his exhaustion, and said softly:

"Ultraman?"

"Yes, Ultraman Nexus is my name after I transform."

Gen Subaru tapped his throbbing head, took the water glass from Eisuke Wakura, took a sip, and said:

"My real name is Yuan Mao. I'm sorry, the situation was a bit urgent just now, and I didn't have time to introduce myself before I started to act."

"Haha, that's nothing. After all, even we didn't expect that Ishibori was actually an alien hiding in the team."

At this point, Eisuke Kazukura's feelings were extremely complicated. To be honest, he had a very good impression of Mitsuhiko Ishibori; he was steady and honest, and his work performance was outstanding in all aspects. He had even considered whether to let Mitsuhiko Ishibori take over his position, but... he never expected this, never expected this, but what he never expected even more was...

"Did you save Ishibori?"

Eisuke Wakura, recalling the stone statue that spat out Mitsuhiko Ishibori, looked at Subaru Minamoto and said softly:

"why?"

"Why? Do you need a reason to save someone?"

Minamoto Subaru frowned slightly. Since waking up, he had felt unwell, with a strange, rising anger within him. He quickly drank some water to calm it down, then looked at Wakura Eisuke with a puzzled expression and said:

"He was possessed by a bad guy, and I don't know if he has harmed anyone, so I'll just save him as an innocent person for now. We'll deal with him later after we find out. But he's pretty lucky; he actually managed to get into the Stone Wing."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted."

Saijo Nagi glanced at Kuraki Eisuke, realizing it was time for her to play the bad cop. She snorted coldly and stared at Minamoto Subaru, saying:

"Anyone can talk a good game, but you make it sound so high-sounding. Who knows what you're really thinking!"

"Are you paranoid, woman? You were already finding fault back in the Three Gods Mountain incident, and now you're taking advantage of my kindness!"

Subaru, already feeling unwell, lost his temper after being provoked by Nagi Saijo. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. He quickly steadied the table, which was about to tip over, and then put the cup back down. After straightening up, he glared at Nagi Saijo and said:

"I didn't want to bother with you because you had hemorrhoids, but you're really not going to let this go!"

"..."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room changed instantly. The manager, who had just pushed the door open to enter, paused upon hearing this, then smoothly retreated, opening and closing the door so quietly that no one present noticed.

But all of that is secondary. The key is Saijo Nagi. The vice-captain's usually cold and stern face began to crumble, and she blushed deeply as she gritted her teeth and said:

"I don't!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yuan Mao pointed to himself with a rather proud thumb and said, "I've been learning from Grandma for four years. I can tell just by the way you walk with your butt tucked in. That's what you call an expert, you know!"

"Alright, alright, now is not the time to see a doctor."

Seeing that Saijo Nagi was on the verge of losing her temper, Kuraki Eisuke quickly stepped in to smooth things over. If things continued, it might become a case of violence before diplomacy.

"Um, Gen Subaru, there's something I wanted to ask you..."

"I reject!"

Subaru interrupted without backing down, raising his voice to say:

"Although I saved you not to ask for anything, your attitude has made me very unhappy. If you want to talk further, unless..."

Looking at the Night Raid team members before him, an ominous black light flashed in the boy's eyes. His heavy aura even made the administrator outside the conference room feel a slight unease. The boy slowly placed his hand on the table, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Apologize to me, sincerely apologize, and then wash my clothes for a month, by hand! Of course..."

Gen Subaru held up a finger, shaking it as he spoke:

“I will take care of your underwear, socks and shoes. Although you made a mistake, I would not humiliate you to that extent.”

???

Upon hearing this, the administrator subconsciously flipped open the file in his hand. Looking at the words "the people of Migami Town are simple and honest" recorded on it, he was speechless for a moment. How to put it? He suddenly felt very grateful to those villagers who were already homeless. After so much scheming and infighting, he had almost forgotten the original meaning of the word "simple and honest".

"This...of course, no problem!"

At this moment, the Night Raid Team members who hadn't caught up with the sharp turn also realized what was happening and quickly agreed with Kurahei, to which Saijo Nagi had no objections.

"besides!"

Gen Subaru crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly back, and said in a calm tone:

"praise me!"

"Ah?!" X3

Upon hearing this, Shiori Hiraki exchanged a quick glance with Nagi Saijo and Eisuke Wakura. Indeed, they all sensed that something was amiss with the boy. Meanwhile, Subaru Minamoto, oblivious to the commotion, stood with his hands on his hips, stubbornly continuing:

"What are you 'ah' about? I eliminated the alien beasts and exposed the traitor in your team. Don't you deserve some praise? Praise me, let me experience it, come on."

"Of course, that's definitely something to praise!"

After receiving a signal with her eyes, Shiori Hiraki subtly and skillfully gestured towards Subaru Minamoto, then smiled and leaned closer, saying:

"You chased away the bad guys, aren't you a little hero? Heroes are meant to be praised, so you deserve to be praised, and you deserve to be praised properly."

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right, hahaha..."

Seeing Subaru laughing like a fool, Nagi Saijo tried to appease him while quietly backing away. She needed to report the situation to the supervisor; perhaps meeting him directly wasn't a good option.

Just then, Gen Subaru, who was laughing loudly, suddenly stopped and let out a loud burp. Everyone saw a wisp of black smoke emerge from his mouth. This immediately alerted the Night Raid team, who all distanced themselves, their hands on their gun handles, watching Gen Subaru's every move closely. Then they saw the calmer boy cover his flushed face with one hand, slowly squat down, wishing he could bury his head in the floor. After a while, a muffled sound came from behind him.

"Shoot me, just kill me."

What is all this nonsense...?

In this conference room, for the first time, Kazukura Eisuke felt time drag on endlessly. While wondering why the supervisor hadn't arrived yet, he tried to ease the tension by pulling Minamoto Subaru up from the floor and getting everyone back to their seats. He took a deep breath and said softly:

"Come on, everyone, calm down. We still have important things to discuss. Nobody wants to accidentally slip up during the conversation, right?"

"Uh-huh!!!"

Subaru nodded in agreement, patted his cheeks lightly, and exhaled a few breaths to calm his expression. Suddenly, he turned to Shiori Hiraki and said softly:

“I understand that you said that just to please me, but there’s one point I still want to refute: a hero doesn’t become a hero just to be praised.”

"That's right, but heroes do need to be praised."

At this moment, the manager, seeing that the time was right, pushed open the door and entered, smiling gently at Gen Subaru as he said:

"Otherwise, heroes would be too lonely. Hello, I am Matsunaga Yoichiro, the manager of the Japanese branch of TLT-J International Liberation Organization. Thank you for saving my subordinate."

"It's nothing, anyone would have done the same."

Subaru Minamoto stood up, politely shook Matsunaga Yoichiro's hand slightly, and then they each sat down. The young man looked at the administrator in front of him and said softly:

"Let's skip the formalities. I'm sure we both have a lot of questions. Let's get down to business. I'll tell you everything I know, and in exchange, I hope my questions will be answered."

"Of course."

Matsunaga Yoichiro placed his hands on the table and said softly:

"We are here with the utmost sincerity to seek cooperation with you."

Just as Gen Subaru and Matsunaga Yoichiro began their conversation, in a hotel southeast of Mikami-cho, black mist suddenly descended. The frail young man lying on the bed trembled violently, and a terrifying crimson light flashed in his eyes—it was a dark aura. Now injured, it had sensed a suitable host and rushed over, but it hadn't expected it to be such a skinny guy. However, it wasn't a big problem. As long as its mind could still function normally, even if it was residing in a vegetative state, it could continue to advance its plans.

Hmph, Chosen One, not killing me will be the biggest mistake of your life!

The dark aura gripped the bedsheet and let out a low, sinister laugh. Two lights resided within that boy's body; while this would make him even more difficult to deal with, it would also bring double the benefits. Then, no one would be my match! Hahaha!!!

"Baby~~~"

Ok? !

Suddenly, the dark aura felt rough hands on its shoulders. Startled, it turned to see a burly, unshaven man giving it a sweet smile, his fingers rubbing the skin on its shoulders as he chuckled:

"I'm coming in!"

I was wrong. I'd better find a different body. Successor, I'll remember this grudge!

003 The so-called alien beasts

Regardless of the guy who almost got anally assaulted, Minamoto Subaru looked at the kind and gentle Matsunaga Yoichiro and said softly:

"Is this really okay? It's just the two of us left."

That's right. Just now, Matsunaga Yoichiro suddenly ordered all the Night Raid Team members to leave. From Wakura Eisuke's face, Minamoto Subaru saw a genuine look of astonishment. Clearly, this was an unexpected order.

“As far as your strength is concerned, the number of people is meaningless, and the Night Raid Team’s weapons and equipment are probably not much of a threat, so let me take this opportunity to show my goodwill,” Matsunaga Yoichiro said with a smile as he poured water for Minamoto Subaru. “Before this, I thought of many ways to talk to you, but after thinking it over, this is still the most appropriate.”

How long have you been listening at the door?

When Minamoto no Subaru picked up his water glass, he suddenly blurted out this sentence, which surprised Matsunaga no Yoichiro, who smiled and said:

"You noticed me?"

"No, but you clearly have a smile on your face right now, like you've just had a good laugh."
