Ultraman: What do you mean by saying L77 is about to explode?

in the hall.

Camilla watched as Tiga remained silent for a long time, her cheeks, which had been flushed with shyness, turned pale at a visible speed.

"As expected... he's just disgusted with me..." Camilla laughed bitterly to herself. The insecurity and self-doubt that had been suppressed in her heart seemed to be completely devouring her at this moment.

How could that ridiculous book from that absurd alien possibly work? Tiga is the light for everyone, why would he care about her clumsy and laughable actions?

"Sorry, I was being nosy. Give it back to me and throw it in the garbage dump." Camille reached out, trying to take back the box that had made her lose face.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the wooden box, Tiga moved.

Instead of retreating as usual, he took a step forward, a move that was extremely unusual for him, directly closing the distance between himself and Camilla.

The distance between the two instantly shrank to less than half a meter.

Camilla's breath hitched, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, including Darram, Hitler, Daga, and the guards passing through the hall.

With one hand holding the scorching hot wooden box, Tiga decisively ripped open the crookedly tied bow with the other.

The wooden box was opened.

A strong smell of burnt coals wafted over.

In the very center of the box lay a piece of ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex meat, roasted until completely black, but still vaguely recognizable as having been clumsily cut into a "heart" shape.

"Oh my God..." Darram covered his eyes, unable to bear witnessing the tragedy that was about to unfold.

However, there was no disgust on Tiga's face.

Following the "forced execution order" that Caul frantically issued in his mind, and also because he didn't want Camilla to be sad, he unhesitatingly extended two fingers.

He pinched a heart-shaped piece of coke.

In the deathly silence of the entire arena, Tiga opened his mouth, stuffed the "bento" into his mouth in one bite, and then took a bite.

Camilla's beautiful eyes widened instantly, her pupils trembling violently.

She was just testing the waters. She knew, of course, that the meat was burnt because of her emotional outburst. She never even thought that Tiga would actually eat it!

"Are you...are you crazy?! Throw it out! That stuff is inedible!" Camilla's cool demeanor crumbled instantly. She took a step forward in a panic, instinctively grabbing Tiga's arm with both hands. Her voice was filled with heartache and anxiety that she herself did not realize.

"No...no need to vomit."

Tiga endured the terrifying heat that raged wildly in his mouth and esophagus, as if he had swallowed a miniature sun. His face was slightly pale, but on the corners of his lips, a gentle smile that belonged only to Camilla appeared on his peerless face.

In his mind, he recited the line Caul had taught him, along with his feelings for Camilla, word by word, with utmost sincerity and his own gentle demeanor:

"It tastes great... Camilla."

Tiga's deep gaze fell upon Camilla's panicked eyes:

"Anything you make for me with your own hands, even if it's the fish from the deepest part of R'lyeh... is the best thing I've ever tasted in my long life."

boom--!!!

This statement is tantamount to directly controlling Camilla at point-blank range and having her firmly under his control.

Camilla, an ancient ice queen warrior and a thorny rose who strikes fear into the hearts of countless monsters.

At this moment, she experienced the happiest moment in her life.

Her heart felt like it was being squeezed, the violent pounding almost shattering her mind.

The grievances, unease, and jealousy that she had deliberately suppressed in her heart for years completely crumbled in the face of the phrase "the best thing".

"You...you idiot! Fool!"

Camilla's cheeks instantly changed from pink to a ripe tomato color, and even her earlobes and neck were flushed with an astonishing rosy hue.

Her eyes, which usually exuded arrogance and indifference, were now misty with tears, and her eyes were slightly red.

She released Tiga's arm as if she had been electrocuted. Due to extreme shyness and the suffocating feeling of being enveloped by immense happiness, her brain short-circuited.

"Who...who said it was made especially for you! I already said it was unnecessary! You idiot!"

Camilla uttered these words incoherently, and then, to the astonishment of everyone present, she dropped her ever-present light whip with a clang.

Immediately afterwards, the woman covered her flushed face with both hands, like a young girl whose secret had been exposed. In a moment of panic and confusion, she turned around abruptly and fled in a flustered manner, taking steps that were completely out of character for her usual composed demeanor!

Yes, they escaped. They rushed out of the hall at almost teleportation speed.

"Tick-tock..."

Time seemed to start flowing again in the hall at that moment.

Dead silence. A silence that lasted for over ten seconds.

"Holy crap!!!" Darram roared, grabbing Hitler and shaking him wildly. "Did you see that?! Did you see that, Hitler?! Big Sister just... Big Sister actually blushed! She even dropped her weapon! She ran away!"

Hitler, equally bewildered, rubbed his eyes. "My retinas must have been contaminated by R'lyeh's miasma... That she-devil who dared to whip Gatanothor's tentacles directly, actually... actually showed that girlish expression?!"

Soruka and Daya nodded frantically beside them. The two honest men's gazes toward Tiga had completely changed from looking at a "comrade-in-arms" to looking at a "god".

"Tiga, you're too strong. Not only in battle, but also in subduing the Big Sister, you are undoubtedly the number one in the ancient times!"

Kaul, who was hiding behind the pillar, finally let out a long sigh of relief. He wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and a smug smile, like that of an old fox, appeared on his lips.

"Plan A, a perfect ending. Camilla's yandere and dark path has been completely cut off today. As long as she is given enough favoritism, just like I said, someone who is about to become a yandere can also become a pure and innocent little cook."

Caul slowly emerged from behind the pillar and walked towards the center of the hall.

At this moment, Tiga stood silently in place. Once Camilla's figure completely disappeared from sight, his forced composure finally crumbled.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Tiga suddenly turned around, covered his mouth, and coughed violently.

With each cough, wisps of thick black smoke oozed pitifully from between his fingers.

"If possible, I hope Camilla can make something that isn't charcoal next time..."
