Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Xia Yu arrived at Chichibu Mountain before the XIG members, thanks entirely to the monster forecaster he carried with him.

"It seems that Grimenos just came out to play."

He gazed at the monster in the ravine and chuckled.

Then Grimenos slammed his Iron Mountain Lean into a small hill, sending plants and rocks flying everywhere.

Then it swung its tail and smashed a small clod of dirt, having a great time.

With a soft hum, Hel emerged and looked at Grimenos with great curiosity.

Not to be outdone, thunder and lightning also materialized and patted their own chests.

"Let's play together."

It could also speak simple human language. It looked at Xia Yu and then pointed at Grimenos, its meaning self-evident.

Xia Yu's smile froze instantly.

He began to miss the days before the Monster Ring was repaired, at least now he wouldn't be dragged along by Thunderbolt to demand that he grow to gigantic size and join Grimenos.

"Okay, quiet down, there will be another opportunity later."

The lightning strikes must be stopped.

Hel flew triumphantly onto Xia Yu's shoulder.

See, I didn't get scolded.

Enraged, Thunderbolt churned up a ball of sparks, and Hel unleashed a cutting energy wave.

With a soft bang, Xia Yu slowly exhaled a puff of black smoke from his mouth.

He menacingly stuffed the Monster Ring into his pocket, keeping it company with the Eye of Tregear.

Galactron is more normal.

As they were talking, XIG's fighter jets arrived.

People from Geo Base were also involved in this battle, mainly to test Inamori's Passel system.

If successful, this system could make monsters obey human commands, thus preventing many disasters.

Many people are full of hope for this.

Unfortunately, they didn't ask Xia Yu.

Otherwise, Xia Yu would tell them the most correct answer.

Lick the dragon well, and I'll help you settle everything.

Kajio accurately aimed Passel at Grimenos, and then Chief Higuchi gave the order, and Passel successfully took off.

Grimenos closed his eyes and crashed to the ground with a thud.

He used the sky as his blanket and the earth as his mat, and fell fast asleep.

"It's a success!"

Director Higuchi, Kajio, and Gamu were all very happy.

This is the first time it has been used in actual combat.

Upon receiving the news, Inamori immediately drove there to carry out her plan.

However, she soon realized that something was wrong.

Someone is following us.

Could it be that a secret hidden deep in my heart has been discovered?

Inamori stopped the car, but to his surprise, it was a young woman with short hair who knocked on the door.

Inamori's eyes flickered slightly; he vaguely recognized the person in front of him.

I think she's a TV presenter for KCB.

Reiko somehow found a connection between Inamori and Fujimiya, and she came here to find out where Fujimiya was.

After a brief conversation, Inamori suddenly smiled.

Reiko was stunned for a moment.

Inamori has always been as calm as still water, or rather, as icy as ice.

When her smile blossomed, the ice shattered instantly, ushering in the moment of spring warmth, blooming flowers, and the revival of all things.

In that instant, she seemed to see flowers blooming, and even the air was filled with the scent of joy.

"You're attracted to him, aren't you?"

Reiko was taken aback by Inamori's bluntness. "Ah, that..."

She hesitated, unsure how to answer.

Inamori turned to look at the boundless sea.

The sea surface glistens, displaying a unique beauty under the sunlight.

Her smile slowly faded. "It's normal. He's a very charming man."

"It's a pity I haven't seen him in a long time."

"If you get the chance to meet him, be sure to show him the results of my final research."

She left without waiting for Reiko's reply.

Reiko, flustered by Inamori's words, failed to notice the significance of the last sentence.

She gazed at the sea and fell silent.

So, was the reason he kept searching for Fujimiya because he was truly attracted to her?

Reiko didn't know the answer.

An hour later, XIG secured Grimenos with the ropes.

They were preparing to transport Grimenos to the Geo base.

Bored, Xia Yu's eyes lit up. "It's here."

On the other side of the mountain, a woman in a red top put on a special device and issued commands to Grimenos again.

Grimenos, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes wide and, amidst the exclamations of Director Higuchi and the others, quickly dug himself into the ground.

This unexpected turn of events stunned everyone.

"Passel has lost control." That was the final conclusion that Director Higuchi received.

"Feel sorry."

Inamori sighed softly and turned around to face Xia Yu.

She instinctively stepped back, filled with vigilance.

His hand rested on the controller of Passel, ready to summon Grimenos at any moment.

"I mean no harm, I just want to talk to you." Xia Yu looked the woman in front of him up and down.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water and is carved naturally.

Naturally, he came to this assessment.

"Fujimiya has been deceived by Chrisis, and your job is to make him realize that."

Xia Yu's words were surprising, causing Inamori's mouth to agape slightly.

"Impossible, Chrisis is incapable of making mistakes."

"Krixis is infallible, but what if it's affected by the interference of the Root Destruction Entity?" Xia Yu followed up with a bombshell.

Just like in my dream, Inamori did not immediately accept what Xia Yu said.

"Think about it from the other side. If what I'm saying is true, who ultimately benefits?"

"Gaia and Agul were originally brothers, but they killed each other."

Inamori remained silent.

Her mind went blank.

How could she not have thought of that possibility?

The person in front of me seems to know Fujimiya and Gamu very well; strictly speaking, there's no doubt about that possibility.

Why are you telling me all this?

Xia Yu became more serious. "Everything you've done is for Fujimiya, isn't it?"

Inamori's body trembled, and the panic in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"You agree with Fujimiya's ideas, you support Fujimiya's thoughts, and you'll do anything to prove Fujimiya right."

"Because you love Fujimiya deeply."

"No, that's not it!" Inamori shouted. "Humans are too self-centered. I have to make them understand what the consequences are of angering monsters."

"An explanation is just a cover-up. Dr. Inamori, you are a kind person who would be saddened even by Lili's death, how could you do such a thing?"

With pity and sympathy, Xia Yu said, "You were just troubled by love and made the wrong choice."

This time, Inamori did not refute it.

She can deceive anyone, but she can't deceive herself.

Xia Yu was right. The development of Pacers and the control of Grimenos to attack the town were all in response to and support for the person she deeply loved.

She would not hesitate to make enemies of the whole world and harm innocent bystanders!

In the original story, Inamori died for love in the end, but since Xia Yu is here, he absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"Let's try to change Fujimiya's mind. I know it's difficult, but my dream and I have been doing it all along."

"We can definitely find a balance between humanity, Earth, and the monsters on Earth."

Inamori was struggling.

What Xia Yu said did have an effect, but deeply ingrained ideas are not so easy to change.

until.

"what!"
