"Thank you, Senior Eddie!"

Gen Subaru first let out a joyful cheer, then bowed respectfully to Eddie to express his gratitude. Eddie waved his hands, indicating that it wasn't necessary. Seeing that Gen Subaru was about to leave the fourth-dimensional space and return to his original timeline and Earth, he called out to him softly:

"Nexus, please remember to protect yourself during the battle."

"Okay, I will, Eddie-senpai, bye-bye~~~"

Gen Subaru nodded obediently, then waved goodbye to Eddie, turned into light and returned to TLT-J. He first gave himself acupuncture, then went to Matsunaga Yoichiro to let him know he was safe, and then went back to his room to sleep. He couldn't help it; he had used too much light energy at once and felt like his body was being hollowed out.

Eddie silently tried to leave a mark in the fourth-dimensional space so that he could come back to find this host and see what was going on. The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

Meanwhile, in another universe, in an inconspicuous corner of a city, a stray cat was looking for food near a trash can when suddenly, a trash can next to it rattled, startling the cat so much that it meowed and disappeared.

The metal lid of the trash can was slightly raised, revealing a crack. The creature inside cautiously surveyed the situation outside, and only after confirming that there was no pursuit did it climb out.

Hidden inside was none other than Dark Zagi, who had recently been ganged up on by three Ultra Warriors. Thanks to his past experience of being hunted by Subaru, he successfully escaped the battlefield and did everything he could to evade the Ultra Warriors' search. As for now...

Dark Zagi chuckled coldly. In his arms, a small red scarf wrapped several fragments of yellow armor and shards from Time City. These were treasures he had salvaged. If he simply gave them to the alien beasts and nurtured them properly, the day of Nexus's judgment would arrive! Ha... um...

Dark Zagi covered his mouth, suppressing his laughter, and continued his escape with light steps...

090 The end of Nexus has come!

"Subaru, still training?"

On the third day after Gen Subaru returned from the fourth dimension, Shiori Hiraki, who had just finished a mission to eliminate small alien beasts, came out to digest her food after eating too much late-night snack. She noticed that the lights in the training ground were still on.

She peeked through the door frame and saw Yuan Mao sitting cross-legged, gesturing in the air as if demonstrating something. She stood quietly and waited until the boy was almost done before greeting him.

"Shiori-nee, what's wrong? Did you eat too much again?"

Subaru had already noticed Shiori Hiraki's arrival. After all, at this distance, with only her watching him, his senses easily detected her presence. However, he was trying out new ideas at the time and didn't have time to think, so he didn't have a chance to greet her.

"Don't assume I've eaten too much late-night snack just because you see me at night!"

Shiori Hiraki muttered something rather unpleasant, then tilted her head to the side, looking utterly dejected, and said:

"But what you said is true."

"Shiori-nee, it's actually not a big deal to eat a little more late-night snack. Anyway, the training intensity during the day is so high, you won't gain weight."

Gen Subaru comforted him with a smile and said:

"The scale doesn't lie."

"Nonsense, it sometimes deliberately inflates the numbers to scare people."

Shiori Hiraki retorted without hesitation, then sat down with a smile, watching Subaru take out a thermal lunchbox from his backpack, eat a steaming hot bun, and said softly:

"I feel like time flies by so fast. It's been almost two months since I brought you back."

"Yeah, I didn't feel it at all, probably because I've been living such a fulfilling life."

Gen Subaru swallowed the steamed bun, looked at the simulated starry sky on the ceiling, and said softly:

"It's a pity I couldn't take down Dark Zagi back then, otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so tired now."

"do not talk like that."

Shiori Hiraki placed her hands on Subaru Minamoto's shoulders, gently shook him, and said softly:

"You've already done a great job. If this were ancient times, we would have built a temple for you no matter what."

"Then I should become a host and hear how people praise me."

Subaru gave Shiori Hiraki a thumbs-up and smiled smugly. Seeing the boy's smile, Shiori smiled gently in return. She thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid?"

"what?"

Looking into the boy's clear eyes, Shiori Hiraki suddenly realized that her question might not have been very good, but leaving things unsaid wasn't in her nature, so after thinking for a moment, she braced herself and continued:

"Look at Dark Zagi and the Alien Beasts, those guys look like that and exude such a terrifying aura. When you charged up against them, weren't you afraid at all?"

"This... is alright."

Gen Subaru thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Grandma Sakura once taught me a method, which is that if you think things might turn out badly, then think of things as even worse. That way, whatever the outcome, it will be within your expectations, and you won't feel particularly disappointed or upset."

At this point, the boy thought for a moment and said softly:

"Well, so far, this method has been quite effective, but most of the time, I still act on it too quickly when I get carried away. Even if I'm really scared, it's too late."

"That's pretty impressive, at least you can still lift your head up and down."

Hiraki Shiori, looking somewhat sullen, bent her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and said softly:

"When I saw that Dark Zagi, my legs went weak. I completely forgot that I had a gun in my hand. I wish I could have gotten carried away like that."

"If you can't get into it, you can't get into it."

Gen Subaru said with a smile:

"Anyway, I'm here. I'll definitely wipe out Dark Zagi and all his minions!"

"That won't work."

At that moment, a gentle voice came from behind the two. Turning around, they saw Ishibori Mitsuhiko. He was wearing a thin white lab coat over his Night Raid team jacket and was holding a folder in his hand, as if he had just finished some kind of experiment. When he got closer, Gen Subaru could smell a strong chemical reagent on him.

"If we stop here, are we just going to stand there and watch when you need help?"

"Hey Ishibori, where did you go to help out?"

Shiori Hiraki covered her nose and waved her hand mischievously. Mitsuhiko Ishibori tossed the folder at Shiori Hiraki with annoyance. Upon opening it, he saw that it was clearly a further research and development plan for cell stabilizers.

"Before I was possessed by Dark Zagi, I was at least a senior researcher."

Ishibori Mitsuhiko sat on the other side of Minamoto Subaru, patted his white coat, and said softly:

“Right now, we’re short-staffed, so when I’m not busy, I go over there to help out and do some simple tasks.”

"Then I'd have to pay you two salaries."

Shiori Hiraki said jokingly:

"At least give you some overtime pay or something."

"So you can go back and buy snacks?"

Mitsuhiko Ishibori glanced at Shiori Hiraki, gently patted Subaru Minamoto's shoulder, and gestured for him to sit closer to him, saying:

"Subaru, stay away from this glutton. If you catch the gluttony virus, you'll become fat."

"Don't make up lies like this in front of Subaru, what if he believes it!"

Shiori Hiraki, embarrassed and annoyed, called out to Mitsuhiko Ishibori, while the boy, exasperated, muttered something under his breath:

"I'm not that easy to fool!"

"I didn't expect it to be so lively here."

At that moment, Eisuke Wakura, wearing a workout leotard, walked in, wiping away sweat. Clearly, the captain had just finished his extra physical training for the day. He sat opposite the three men, his muscular physique particularly eye-catching under the lights.

Seeing that the Night Raid team had arrived in full force, the boy couldn't help but think of Saijo Nagi. Seeing the somewhat dejected expression on Minamoto Subaru's face, he understood what was on his mind and said softly:

“In that situation, it’s good that Saijo survived. As for what happens next... it’s up to fate. Subaru, you’re not a god.”

"Um, our team has a day off tomorrow, right?"

Sensing the somewhat tense atmosphere, Shiori Hiraki quickly changed the subject, saying:

"Ah...that's great! After being so busy for so long, I can finally take a break. By the way, does everyone have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Go help out in the lab."

“Research new skills.”

"Continue training."

"What's the difference between this and not taking a vacation at all?!"

Looking at the three men in front of her, Shiori Hiraki couldn't help but remark:

"Doesn't this completely defeat the purpose of a vacation? In that case, I suggest we go to the nearest amusement park tomorrow!"

"Forget it..."

"Agreed!" X2

"Eh?"

Just as he was about to make up some excuse to debunk the claim, Gen Subaru looked at his two teammates who immediately agreed, momentarily speechless.

"Then it's settled, everyone. See you tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"See you tomorrow."

Um... what's my opinion?
