Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

"Of course." I agreed without even thinking about it.

The main reason was a vague sense of guilt towards the young man.

Perhaps before him, the youth had already made contact with Gaia.

Would I be considered to have stolen someone else's love?

Xia Yu was very happy. After preparing his words, he explained the predicament he was currently facing.

As I listened, I went crazy.

"You mean, there's an evil god living inside you, and you want me to help you separate the evil god from you?" I stammered.

"Yes, that's about right."

Xia Yu thought for a moment and said, "Or you could help me put on a seal or something. You're an excellent quantum physicist and Ultraman, you must have a way."

That's my dream. Anyone else would definitely think Xia Yu is a fool.

Oh no, it's mental illness.

"Could it be the root cause of the destroyed body?"

Xia Yu shook his head. "It has nothing to do with that."

"This guy is much more troublesome than the Origin Destruction Entity. First, he is powerful, and second, he is good at causing trouble. If he comes out, he might be able to help you bring a group of bosses to Earth for a team building activity."

"You seem to know me quite well?" Torregia interjected, seemingly having harbored suspicions for some time.

Xia Yu didn't respond. After a moment of contemplation, Wo Meng solemnly said, "If what you're saying is true, I will definitely do everything in my power to help you!"

"Thank you so much." Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief; with the protagonist's help, he finally had hope.

"Why don't you give me a full body check-up? Use Gaia's power; that might prove whether what I said is true."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

Under Xia Yu's guidance, I calmed down and placed Gaia's light on Xia Yu's head.

Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded. Under my mental control, tiny particles of light fell into Xia Yu's body.

[Hmph, a false glow.]

【roll!】

With a sharp crack, I was thrown aside by a tremendous force.

"Are you alright?" Xia Yu was startled and quickly ran over to help him up.

I stiffened and straightened up, fear still lingering in my eyes.

He shook his head, and his eyes regained their clarity.

"It is indeed a big problem, I believe what you said." He stared at Xia Yu, his emotions complicated.

He had just seen a large mass of darkness surging, which then transformed into a gigantic, eyeless face that was about to swallow him whole.

Fortunately, Gaia's light dispelled the haze, allowing him to break free.

Xia Yu has to face such terror all the time; he must be having a very hard time.

My dream's gaze made Xia Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

What does that pity and sympathy mean?

The root of destruction, the evil god, the slight joy I felt in my dream of Gaia's light was completely swept away.

The pressure is immense.

"Perhaps we can use the light of Gaia to create an amulet to suppress that darkness?"

I've already started thinking of a solution.

"Ah, I think this direction is correct," Xia Yu agreed.

They completely ignored Torregia, whose face had darkened.

They're plotting loudly in front of me, as if I'm dead?

It seems I really am almost like a dead person.

Not long after, Director Di of XIG found Meng and Xia Yu.

On one hand, they needed to confirm their safety, and on the other hand, they needed to find traces of the Red Giant.

It seems to have disappeared from here.

Unexpectedly, Meng took the initiative to suggest visiting the aerial base.

Director Tsutsumi naturally refused, but his superior, Commander Ishimuro, granted his request, which surprised Director Tsutsumi.

XIG is currently a secret organization, and ordinary citizens are not allowed to enter, right?

"Aren't you coming with me?" I asked, looking at Xia Yu who was standing there.

"Well, I think I'll pass."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Let's get together again after you're done with your work."

"Okay, I'll be right away. Wait for me here." I left my contact information and address with Director Di and left.

Xia Yu looked up and saw the Peace Ship, which looked like a graceful bird in the sun, disappearing into the clouds.

A hint of envy and longing appeared in his eyes.

There's a reason why it won't follow my dreams.

XIG is a secret organization for Earth's defense, containing humanity's pinnacle of technology and secrets. Who knows what will happen after Tregear sees it?

It might even interfere with the plan to fight the Root Destruction Entity.

Xia Yu was merely taking precautions; any caution towards Torregia was necessary.

"You're so noisy, can you please be quiet?"

Then answer my question first: why do you know me so well?

Xia Yu rolled his eyes.

Torregia kept talking and asking questions.

Xia Yu knew about the Eye of Torregia, knew his identity, and seemed to know his background as well.

This piqued Torregia's curiosity.

Another very important point is that Torregia also wants to know why he and Xia Yu are of one mind.

It has clearly been...

"Would you believe me if I said I've watched every TV series and movie about you?"

"What are TV series and movies?" Torregia asked blankly.

Xia Yu was speechless.

"Alright, let me finish eating first before we talk about this."

Humans are truly inferior creatures, needing to eat to maintain their vital signs.

"We are now of one mind and one body. If I starve to death, you will die too."

【...】

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief after finally getting Torregia to shut up.

Can you imagine having a deep-voiced Tang Sanzang installed in your brain, directly affecting it, with no way to escape?

As Xia Yu was pondering his next move, he was momentarily blinded by a reflection in the distance.

He glanced over instinctively and saw a man carrying a camera, pointing it in his direction.

Realizing he had been discovered, he hurriedly backed away.

Xia Yu quickly chased after him.

He is fast and agile.

They arrived late but arrived early, finally blocking the uninvited guest after leaping over a broken wall.

There was more than one man; to be precise, there were two men and one woman.

One of the men appeared to be a photographer, while the only woman was wearing a pink uniform with a microphone clipped to her collar.

Xia Yu suddenly remembered that these three people should be from KCB TV station.

He glanced at the pink uniform a few more times, and later she and Agul had quite a few interactions.

Reiko felt the other person's gaze and, somewhat frightened, hid behind Director Tabata.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Could you please take me to Xia Chengnan University?"

"Who are you?" Tabata asked instead of answering.

"My identity is highly confidential, so please don't ask," Xia Yu lied off the cuff.

After a moment's hesitation, Tian Duan tentatively asked, "Why do you want us to take you? We don't know you."

Xia Yu's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.

"Because I'm on a secret mission. Did you see that monster just now? It left behind something strange, and now I have to escort it over to study it, but we can't be too conspicuous."

"If you're not willing, that's fine too. I'll ask someone else."

A secret mission, something strange?

These words immediately piqued the interest of Tian Duan and his two companions.

Xia Yu took out the Eye of Torregia at the opportune moment and conducted a binding experiment.

The three of them stared in disbelief.

[Damn it! What do you take the Eye of Tregear for? You lowly Earthling, you are not allowed to touch it!!!] Tregear roared in Xia Yu's head.

This is the first time I've ever lost my composure like this.

Xia Yu forced a smile. "Hey, do you have to be so noisy? What happened to your gentlemanly manners?"

"Okay, can you help me?"

Seeing that Tian Duan was still hesitating, he gave him another strong dose of medicine.

"What you filmed is a state secret, which is strictly speaking a violation of the law and could even lead to imprisonment in a secret jail. But if I testify, no one will make things difficult for you."

"Huh?" Tian Duan blurted out, "Is it that serious? We journalists have independent authority."

Xia Yu smiled without saying a word and waited patiently.

He wouldn't have spouted such nonsense if he hadn't been penniless, lost his way, and been both hungry and thirsty.

"Okay," Tabata agreed, "but you have to record a disclaimer for us."

"Oh, okay." Xia Yu felt a slight headache.

Forget it, the most important thing right now is to run to Chengnan University to wait for my dream, everything else is trivial.

Speechless all the way.

Tian Duan seemed intent on testing Xia Yu, but Xia Yu didn't respond.

The main task is to deal with the Yin-Yang conflict of Toregia.

[Just as hypocritical as those in the Land of Light, willing to deceive others to achieve your own ends—is this the justice you uphold?]

Xia Yu was getting really annoyed by the harassment.

"I'm not a good person, for crying out loud!"

Torregia fell silent instantly.

This plot doesn't make sense. Would a human voluntarily admit that they are not a good person?

Don't they all claim to uphold justice by citing law and morality?

Xia Yu's voice was a little louder, and Tian Duan, Lingzi, and Lun Wen, who was driving, all widened their eyes.

Reiko remembered Xia Yu's aggressive gaze when they first met and instinctively tightened her collar.

This journey should be...no problem, right?
