Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 100: It's not entirely Jugglus Juggler's fault.

Xia Yu disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was no different from any other passerby.

I changed my clothes slightly, and added a mask and a baseball cap.

He pretended to bump into Naomi by accident, which happened to knock over the sparkling coffee she was holding. He caught the spilled coffee and got his suit wet.

"Hey, are you looking where you're going? Do you know how expensive this suit is? I'm not leaving until you pay me back!"

Xia Yu roared angrily, leaving Naomi completely stunned.

What are you doing?

However, she reacted quickly, pausing for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

He made a move to go forward and help Xia Yu wipe it.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu rudely pushed him to the ground.

"What are you doing? Wasn't spilling coffee on me enough? Are you going to use your chicken feet to get my clothes dirty too?"

"Hey, what did you say? How can you talk to people like that?" A passerby couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Naomi.

"Did your clothes get stained with coffee? It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering from it. Go stand aside if you have nothing to do."

More people gathered around.

Xia Yu's unreasonable and ruthless behavior contrasted sharply with Naomi's pitiful appearance, greatly arousing the sympathy of passersby.

The criticism against Xia Yu grew louder and louder.

"It's just a suit jacket, it looks old and worn, how much could it be worth? I'll pay for it for this young lady."

"That's right, no matter what, you can't push someone."

"I've already called the police, don't leave."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu immediately put on a fierce but weak front and said, "Hmph, let's leave it at that for now. Consider yourself lucky."

Using the physical body of a Nackle alien, they forcefully pushed through the crowd and made their escape.

Damn, the effect is amazing! In just a short while, nearly a hundred people have gathered.

Some people tried to catch Xia Yu, since they had already called the police.

Who knew that the other person would disappear around the corner?

Many kind people stayed to comfort Naomi, and seeing that she was a salesperson and it wasn't easy for her, they offered their support.

Some people thought it was alright and went straight into the store.

Although the conversion rate wasn't high, it at least significantly increased foot traffic to the store.

The store manager originally wanted to come out and see what had happened, but now he was busy attending to customers and didn't care about what was happening outside.

This kept me busy until evening.

The store manager was in a good mood and generously gave Naomi a large tip when she paid the bill.

On the way back, Naomi suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Yu.

Are you alright?

"Huh?" Xia Yu was confused, but he understood when he met Naomi's concerned gaze.

This is because they are worried about being caught by the crowd and beaten, or being taken to the police station.

"Don't worry, not many people can keep up with my skills."

Xia Yu said indifferently.

Naomi paused for a moment before speaking, "Thank you for taking such a big risk to help me."

"Now that I think about it, the damage to that car had nothing to do with you. Without you, we might all have died in the tornado. It was really unreasonable to make you stay and pay off the debt."

"And you also gave us such great ideas, those are priceless."

Xia Yu felt a warmth in his heart.

Naomi is truly the kindest girl he has ever met; no wonder even Jugglus Juggler couldn't bring himself to harm her.

Thank you for today.

"You are free."

Naomi made up her mind, brushed her wind-blown hair behind her ears, and walked home alone.

She felt that Xia Yu was no ordinary person, and forcibly confining him to them would only delay his life.

"What if I said I wanted to join SSP?"

Xia Yu's words made her stop in her tracks, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, her eyes sparkling.

"Really?" she asked, turning her head.

"Of course, SSP's philosophy aligns perfectly with mine, and all three of you are interesting people."

"I want to do my part to protect the safety of citizens."

Xia Yu answered without hesitation.

In fact, this is only the superficial reason.

Compared to Kai and Jugglus's unpredictable whereabouts, Naomi seemed much more normal.

Moreover, she was a key factor in changing the relationship between Kai and Jugglus Juggler.

Furthermore, Xia Yu was worried that Old Tuo's injuries were too severe as he remained silent for a long time.

Perhaps things will turn around if we follow Naomi.

And of course, there's the most important point.

He wanted Old Tor to witness firsthand the tremendous change in the relationship between Kai and Jugglus Juggler.

Let him understand that even if they are on opposing sides of light and darkness, as long as they have each other in their hearts, even chaos cannot sever their friendship!

Xia Yu felt that Old Tuo did waver at the last moment.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

How could Naomi possibly know that Xia Yu had so many other thoughts?

All she knew was that a great planner, chef, cleaner, actor, race car driver... was about to help her.

She felt that SSP was about to become successful.

After all, they were able to come up with such an outrageous sales pitch.

When they got home and announced it to Asen and the others, neither of them objected.

It's not much different from before, except that I don't have to pay back the money.

Of course, SSP's current financial situation simply prevents them from paying Xia Yu a salary.

The next morning, a shocking piece of news stunned them all.

Reports indicate that a large-scale ground subsidence occurred in the city's business district, resulting in significant losses.

At first, they thought it might be due to poor construction quality, but when they saw the video of an entire building collapsing, they were instantly shocked.

"It's like a giant rat dug a hole underground," Zenta couldn't help but say.

"You mean there's a rat monster?" Asen asked, intrigued.

"Alright!" Naomi shouted after a moment of gathering her emotions, "SSP, deploy!"

"good!"

"I'll go to work part-time first."

Zenta and Asen watched Naomi leave with her backpack, speechless.

"Why? The coffee shop owner might hire me as a long-term employee, so I definitely have to work hard."

"Besides, our income might not even last until the end of the month."

"Oh, by the way, Xia Yu, you don't need to come with me."

With that, Naomi quickly walked out.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at me?"

Seeing that Asen and Zenta were looking at him, Xia Yu asked in confusion.

"Of course, we're going to investigate the reason for the building's mysterious disappearance." Asen began to organize his various pieces of equipment.

He quickly transformed into a metallic humanoid object.

"The investigation was useless. Did you manage to fix the live-streaming system?"

"Uh, that's about it. The technology is in place, we just need the money to get it done." Zenta was also tidying up his things.

"Alright, let's go."

"By the way, could you please carry this for me?"

Not long after they set off, Shan Tai and Xia Yu began to feel unwell.

There was far too much pointing and whispering from passersby.

It's not fair to blame the passersby; the main problem is that Asen was carrying around all sorts of junk inventions, which supposedly could monitor the monsters' movements.

Xia Yu held a modified FM receiver from a tape recorder in both hands, almost to the point of tears and embarrassment.

"I suddenly miss our little car."

Ah Sen was carrying the most things on his back, and he was almost in tears.

The three of them finally arrived at the scene around noon by taking public transportation and walking.

Asen and Shantai immediately began taking photos and collecting data, with Xia Yu assisting them.

"Hey, what are you doing here? It's dangerous."

The middle-aged man in uniform I saw last time happened to be here too, and I noticed them.

It's hard not to notice; her outfit is too avant-garde.

"Mr. Shibukawa, we're gathering information to see if we can help find out why the building disappeared."

"Alright, alright, but I can only give you ten minutes. This kind of thing might happen again." Shibukawa, as expected of Naomi's uncle, was quite direct in offering a back door.

"Hey, we think we've seen that person before."

"Is that the crazy guy who was clinging to the roof of our car?"

Following Zenta's gaze, all four noticed a man in a jacket squatting beside the pit, peering down.

Before they could react, Xia Yu had already darted out.

"Hmm, is it Earth Demon Beast this time?"

Kay is also investigating the reason for the building's disappearance, and he is basically certain of it.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from behind.

"Excuse me, are you planning to commit suicide?"

"Do you need my help?"

The sound of wind rose behind me.

Without a second thought, Kai slid away and dodged the attack.

Turning his head, his wary expression immediately relaxed.

"Xia Yu, it's you. What are you doing?"

"Oh, this is how we greet each other in a friendly way on Nackle."

Xia Yu withdrew his foot very naturally, as if the sneak attack had nothing to do with him.

"You just mentioned the Earth Demon Beast?"

"Ah, most likely." Kai fell into thought again.

"Is it related to Jugglus Juggler?" Xia Yu asked abruptly.

Kai was startled and blurted out, "You've seen him?"

"Well, I guess so."

Xia Yu recalled the way Jugglus Juggler escaped, and said uncertainly.

Is grabbing cards a way of meeting up?

"This guy, sigh." Kai's soft sigh contained too many emotions and stories.

He thought Xia Yu wouldn't understand, but in fact Xia Yu knew a lot.

"Actually, we can't entirely blame him."

"Hmm?" Kai looked at Xia Yu in confusion.

"He felt betrayed by the people he trusted most, his best friend, and himself."

Xia Yu's words were concise and to the point.

Like the conflict between Toledo and Taro, their differences cannot be resolved in just a few words.

But we can guide them gradually.

Kai frowned slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Xia Yu's words were suggestive; what did he know?

"Don't come near here."

"Huh, how did you get in?"

Ultraman's uncle, Shibukawa, finally arrived.

He had no idea how Xia Yu could be so agile; it seemed he was really getting old.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the earth shook violently.

A building not far away collapsed in full view of everyone!
