Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 8: The War Sparked by a Bowl of Braised Pork

I dreamt I went back to Chengnan University, but there was bad news.

XIG suggested that I stay at the aerial base for an extended period so that we could launch a direct attack if any problems arise.

This means that Xia Yu and Meng will have to separate temporarily.

"It's not a big problem, you can go."

Xia Yu didn't seem to think anything of it, but Meng said...

"After all, it's a laboratory, not suitable for you to live in. I'll help you rent a place outside."

"Renting a place is so expensive, why pay for something when you can get it for free?"

Xia Yu blurted it out without thinking, then wondered if he had been too blunt.

Sure enough, I dreamt of staring straight at him.

Xia Yu has a thick skin; he really dares to live in the lab for the rest of his life.

Considering that my dreams might be affected.

Never mind, never mind.

"Thank you."

"Huh?" Xia Yu looked at Wo Meng, who had suddenly become serious, somewhat puzzled.

"Without your reminder, this battle wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Apatite is a very tough opponent, and I don't have the confidence to defeat it."

My dream was very sincere, and my slightly immature face was full of collagen.

Xia Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and pinched it.

Hmm, it definitely feels good.

"ah."

"You don't need to thank me anymore, just like you would have given me your bank card directly."

Xia Yu replied earnestly, "Our goals are the same."

"To protect everyone's lives and enjoy happiness."

"Hmm~~" My face flushed slightly. Why did I feel that Xia Yu looked at me with the kind of doting gaze that an elder would give to a junior?

That's definitely an illusion; we're about the same age, aren't we?

"I'll help you find a suitable house!"

I dream of Xia Yu filled with gratitude and admiration.

If you were in their shoes, leaving your family and friends to enter a strange world filled with monsters, carrying an evil god on your back, you would definitely not be as calm as Xia Yu.

His efficiency was phenomenal; he found a target and signed a contract within just one afternoon.

As per Xia Yu's request, the area was relatively sparsely populated, with many main roads, and located on the outer edge of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Holding the keys, Xia Yu stared blankly at the large villa in front of him.

I just want a simple room.

"It must cost a lot of money, right?" Xia Yu murmured, then chuckled and shook his head.

I dreamt that he was a good person, and so was Fujimiya.

There are many good people in this world, and they deserve to be protected.

[Hehe, you should worry about yourself first.]

One day I will break free from your filthy body.

[You cherish this world so much? Then how about watching it be destroyed?]

Xia Yu sighed helplessly, "Aren't you tired? All you do is destroy this and destroy that all day long. Don't you get bored if the whole universe is gone?"

"No one talks to you, no one plays with you, you don't even have anyone to hate, there's only emptiness."

"Is this what you wanted?"

Torregia was taken aback, and involuntarily constructed such a world based on Xia Yu's description.

It does seem a little boring.

His favorite genre of dramas features palace intrigue involving various life forms.

Friends turn against each other, father and son kill each other, wife and daughter become enemies.

It's interesting to think about.

Wait, I don't think I said I wanted to destroy the universe.

Ignoring Torregia, Xia Yu had already run to the kitchen.

Faced with a full set of pots and pans, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"To call Japanese food garbage is an insult to garbage. You eat the same few dishes over and over again after a few days. Anyone who says Japanese food is delicious, come out and get beaten up."

"What are you planning to do?" Old To asked, somewhat curious.

"Naturally, we'll attack the Land of Light and let them taste my power!" Xia Yu's eyes gleamed as he pulled out a kitchen knife and swung it through the air.

"Really?" Torregia's eyes also lit up.

"Fake."

"Are you that easy to fool?"

"Damn it!" Toregia exclaimed in frustration.

That kid can't say anything nice, how could I believe his nonsense?

"Huh? You can actually swear now? Where did you learn that?" Xia Yu's focus was rather unusual.

After spending some time with them, he found that Torregia was very civilized.

They don't know how to use vulgar language, but when pushed too far, they'll say things like "lowly humans," "inferior creatures," or "not fully evolved monkeys."

They just repeat the same few sentences over and over, which are not only harmless but also make Xia Yu laugh.

There are new words today, and they're very down-to-earth.

Old Tu remained silent, not wanting to discuss the topic.

Xia Yu muttered to himself, "Could it be that I said it unintentionally? You're quite good at stealing things."

"Why don't you call me teacher?"

【roll!】

Seeing that Torregia was no longer responding, Xia Yu leisurely went to the supermarket and bought some pork, rice, seasonings, and so on.

"Food is one of the greatest traditions of humankind."

He couldn't wait to simmer the pork belly in a hot pan, then put it in a pot of cold water with ginger slices, scallion segments, and cooking wine.

After blanching for 5 minutes, remove the blanched ...

He then heated the oil and waited a moment before pouring the meat into the pan.

"It's very important to control the heat; you need to render out some of the fat from the meat, but you can't overcook it."

"Then it's time to caramelize the sugar!" He muttered to himself or instructed Torregia.

With a few quick swishes, the meat chunks and rock sugar were swapped, and Xia Yu began stirring the dissolved rock sugar.

After turning a deep amber color, the chunks of meat reappeared.

Stir-fry, add water, cover the pot, and it's all done in one go.

The dazzling movements left Torregia completely bewildered.

"Phew, my technique hasn't gotten rusty." Xia Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down to start timing.

Before long, the rich aroma of meat began to fill the air.

Are you a chef?

"Of course not, cooking is something anyone can do, isn't it?"

Is it really that simple? Torregia felt there was something different from what he remembered.

An hour later, Xia Yu jumped up to collect the juice.

The powerful energy from the high heat gradually thickened the broth. Xia Yu carefully stirred it to ensure the flavor was even and that it didn't stick to the pot before finally taking it out of the oven.

A bowl of white rice and a bowl of steaming braised pork.

One bite of the broth with rice is not enough; then take another bite of the fragrant braised pork.

The tender meat rolls around in your mouth, and with a gentle bite, the juices burst forth, providing a great stimulation to your taste buds.

Before long, it all went into Xia Yu's stomach.

[This is meaningless. Are you really enjoying the life of a lower being?]

"Meaning?" Xia Yu squinted.

"If you insist on talking about meaning, then it's that humans find their happiness in the process of eating."

"To support oneself and one's family with one's own hands, and to perpetuate life. How could you, a higher being, possibly understand the emotional connection conveyed through food?"

Before Torregia could retort, he said bluntly, "Of course you wouldn't understand what emotional transmission is, after all, you and Taro broke up, and he was your only friend."

"Shut up!" Torregia roared. "What right do you have to judge me? A mortal dares to speak ill of a god."

Xia Yu nodded. "I admit that lifespan is short, but even if you live forever, you will never understand what love is."

"Do I need such a thing?" Toregia scoffed. "Life is a fleeting light, and the world is but a fleeting dream."

"Hmm, so you've seen beautiful lights and had beautiful dreams?"

Xia Yu laughed, "Still stubborn, so you'll still get beaten to a pulp next time you see Taiga or Taro."

[Bullshit!] Toregia instantly bristled.

Xia Yu was in a good mood after having a hearty meal and even choking on Toregia's mouth.

I easily subdued Taiga and Taro; they were just careless last time.

Are you even listening to me?

Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the television screen.

"Urban desertification."

"They came so fast!"
