We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

Clutching his shoulder, he walked to the staff break room, took off his outermost work uniform, and only then did he realize that the shoulder of his undershirt was already stained red with blood.

Yun Yu sighed softly, her intact arm unconsciously clenching into a fist.

This battle was completely different from the one against Golza. Last time, he was on the defensive and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But this time, facing Melba, he was focused on controlling the battle and taking the initiative to attack. He was so eager to advance that he completely ignored the weaknesses in his defense and took a heavy blow.

Fortunately, the result was acceptable. He successfully defeated Melba and only suffered one injury on his shoulder. The rest of his fatigue was just the soreness and weakness in his arms from the long close-quarters combat.

The core reason he was able to win this tough battle was that he stayed close to the enemy the entire time, giving the Melba no chance to take off and accelerate, thus directly negating its greatest speed advantage.

Recalling what had just happened, Yun Yu herself was somewhat bewildered.

Suddenly entering a bizarre and strange space and facing a giant monster, he should have been panicked. However, the moment he saw Melba swooping down, he was unusually clear-headed. He knew that he was not as fast as the monster, and if he was put at a distance, he would be torn to death.

His only chance of winning was close-quarters combat, so he had to take advantage of Melba getting close to him!

And Melba's lunge was the opportunity he seized!

This extraordinary calmness was completely unlike what he should have been like. Yun Yu vaguely understood that it was most likely the Sylvias Star Chart that was subtly influencing him to remain calm.

How should we balance offense and defense in the next battle?

What exactly is this alternate dimension where reality and illusion intertwine?

Why did that destroyed space appear out of thin air, and why does Melba exist there?

The deeper you delve, the more mysteries emerge.

Yun Yu raised her hand and patted her forehead, forcibly suppressing her surging thoughts and gathering her mind. She got up, put on her employee uniform, composed herself, and walked out of the break room.

As soon as I reached the duty area, a weary female voice came from behind me:

"Same as always, just a cup of coffee will do."

Yun Yu looked up following the sound and saw Su Mo standing in front of the counter, rubbing her throbbing temples. The faint dark circles under her eyes could not hide her exhaustion.

She had clearly been staying up all night writing again; the weariness in her eyes was almost palpable. He wondered if she had finished her interview transcript yet. Come to think of it, he seemed to have no idea what works Su Mo had to offer.

  

"Stay up late writing again tonight?"

"Yeah, if I don't finish writing tonight, my inspiration will vanish," Su Mo replied casually, then leaned against the counter waiting for Yun Yu to make her coffee.

These past few days, she has been writing articles until midnight almost every day. And when it gets late, people inevitably feel tired, so she has to drink a cup of coffee to perk herself up.

When Yunyu finished making the coffee, she took the coffee he handed her, but looking at the steaming hot coffee, she suddenly lost her desire to drink it.

Her panda-like eyes stared at Yun Yu, seemingly questioning him silently with her gaze why he hadn't added ice to her drink.

Yun Yu was initially puzzled as to why Su Mo was looking at him, but he realized what was going on when he saw that Su Mo hadn't drunk her coffee.

Su Mo usually orders her coffee with ice when she comes here, and Yun Yu usually does the same. However, Yun Yu's mind is a bit muddled right now, and she's even thinking about the other dimension while making coffee, so she forgot to add ice for a moment.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Su Mo smiled and shook her head, then took her coffee cup and walked around the counter. "Never mind, I'll do it myself. You look so distracted, are you not getting enough rest like me?"

The convenience store counter was already cramped, and when Su Mo squeezed in to get the ice shovel, her elbow inevitably bumped backward, hitting Yun Yu's injured right shoulder squarely.

"hiss--"

Caught off guard, Yun Yu gasped in pain, her body stiffening abruptly, her face turning pale instantly.

"What's wrong?" Su Mo was startled by the voice and quickly withdrew her hand, turning around to check. Her gaze fell on his hand, which he had instinctively used to protect his shoulder. "Did I touch you? Does it hurt?"

Yun Yu took a deep breath, enduring the piercing pain, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just bumped into something while moving things, and my shoulder is a little bruised. Your bump just now aggravated it."

He gave vague answers and didn't want to explain the real reason.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Su Mo didn't press him further. However, a hint of seriousness appeared in his tired eyes as he softly advised, "Be careful if you're injured. Don't push yourself too hard. If it gets serious, remember to go to the infirmary."

After saying that, she turned around and skillfully added a few ice cubes to her coffee. After stirring it a few times, she leaned against the counter and quietly began to drink. In the small space, only the crisp sound of ice cubes hitting the cup could be heard.

After finishing her iced coffee, Su Mo put down the cup, said goodbye to Yun Yu, and left the convenience store.

About ten minutes later, the glass door was gently pushed open again, and Su Mo walked in, holding a white medicine box in her hand. She walked naturally to the counter.

"I found it when I went out." She gently placed the medicine box on the counter, her tone casual as if she were talking about something insignificant: "I don't know who dropped these painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, but I thought I'd leave them here in case someone came back looking for them."

Yun Yu's gaze fell on the medicine box, her pupils contracted slightly, and when she looked up at her, she met her eyes, which were filled with fatigue.

Seeing Yun Yu's slightly bewildered look, clearly not understanding her meaning, Su Mo sighed helplessly and said, "Although I don't know what kind of injury you have, I bought some general anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine. Take some, after all, I did bump into your shoulder just now."

After she finished speaking, she didn't say anything more. She just waved to him, turned around and walked into the night, leaving Yun Yu standing there in a daze.

It took me a while to realize that this wicked woman seemed to have felt guilty for bumping into my shoulder, so she went to buy me some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.

Red bean paste, private Marseille, from now on I will treat you the same way I treated Sirius, and I will never call you a bad woman again!
