Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"Speaking of which, I also saw news about 'Ultraman' when I passed through human cities."

"It's that guy in the armor."

"What happened?"

"Wasn't it said that Ultraman is no longer around?"

As the transport vehicle started moving, Natsuki asked Moroboshi Dan in front of him.

From the perspective of modern aliens, Ultraman is dead and the Land of Light has been destroyed, so it's normal to have doubts about such things.

"That is......"

"Never mind, you'll probably see him when you get to the base."

"Besides, this has nothing to do with you." Moroboshi Dan hesitated for two seconds, but gave up on explaining. It was an internal matter for them, and there were no plans to make it public for the time being.

After verifying the guy's identity, we still need to send him back to his home planet, so there's no point in talking to him about this.

“Okay.” Natsuki could tell that the story behind the armor was far-reaching, and nodded to indicate that she understood.

As he spends more and more time on Earth, he will eventually figure out everything hidden beneath the surface.

Of course, the most important thing is to confirm the current state of the Land of Light, and then there's his original mission: to find out who's behind all this.

Even now, completely disconnected from the original universe, there are still many things he can do.

After he lost contact, Hikari should soon notice something was wrong. Given their nature, they will definitely look for him. However, since it is a completely unknown universe, it will probably take a long time to find him. Before that, he needs to take action.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from inside the serious-looking transport vehicle.

The team members, who had taken off their helmets, all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Moroboshi Dan also frowned and looked at Natsuki.

"Haha... I haven't eaten in a long time, I just couldn't resist."

"Mr. Moroboshi, um... does the Science Patrol provide meals?" Natsuki scratched his head and asked with a slightly embarrassed smile.

One of the reasons he chose to contact the Cottage team was simply to find a place to eat; yes, that was only a small part of the reason.

"You bastard..."

Hearing the strange sounds coming from Natsuki's stomach, Moroboshi Dan sighed and looked at Natsuki with a helpless gaze.

This guy is definitely not compatible with me by birth chart.

Can't you be serious at all?

"Don't worry... I won't let you go hungry," Moroboshi Dan replied, looking at the unreliable guy.

He always felt that many more upsetting things would happen to him in the future.

Chapter 370 Shinjiro

The convoy of transport vehicles drove all the way from Shinjuku to the outskirts of Tokyo.

Across a large open space, the peculiarly shaped, massive base of the Science Patrol's Japanese branch was already visible.

Although the ground floor has been transformed into the Museum of Light, which is open to the public, underground, all of the Science Patrol's facilities are still functioning normally, and the amount of technology accumulated over the decades is no less.

"That's truly spectacular..."

"By the way, could I visit that memorial hall?"

“I’m quite interested in Ultraman,” Natsuki said to Dan Moroboshi before getting out of the car.

In his own universe, the Science Patrol didn't decorate their base like a memorial to light.

Furthermore, he also wanted to learn more about the Ultramen who had fought in this universe...

Although they were not the same individuals, the Ultraman he knew gave him a sense of brotherhood towards this warrior who had fought desperately on Earth.

Are you interested in Ultraman?

"You really are a special guy." Moroboshi Dan was somewhat surprised to hear Natsuki say that.

In the eyes of most aliens today, Ultraman is not a positive figure.

From his own perspective, he is more inclined to support Ultraman.

Although Earth had joined the interstellar alliance, he still didn't quite approve of the Star Cluster Council's style.

So when she learned that Natsuki also had this intention, she couldn't help but feel a little more favorably toward this inexplicable person.

"You should return to base as normal."

"I'll go with this guy one more time." Moroboshi Dan glanced at the night outside and agreed to Natsuki's request without much hesitation, letting the other team members drive back underground.

He then got out of the car with Natsuki in front of the ground base.

Walk towards the entrance of the Memorial Hall of Light on the first floor.

Several hours have passed since the Museum of Light closed, and the tourists have long since left, leaving the museum completely empty.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a huge statue.

The giant, with its red and silver body, had its hands clenched tightly at its sides. The muscles in its chest looked exceptionally strong, and a round blue crystal was embedded in its chest. Its silver face had bright eyes, and a faint smile played at the corners of its mouth. The statue looked lifelike and was almost identical to the Giant of Light that appeared on Earth forty years ago.

Looking up at the statue, which differed slightly from Ultraman in size, Natsuki's gaze was somewhat dazed.

"Ultraman..." he murmured.

Speaking of which, it's been quite a while since I last saw this older brother.

Ultraman...it really brings back fond memories.

"That's just a statue; the real Ultraman left Earth long ago."

"This Museum of Light has quite a lot of stuff inside, including many miniature models that recreate Ultraman's battle scenes, as well as some publicly available records of the battles from back then," said Dan Moroboshi, seeing Natsuki looking on in a daze.

What's wrong with this guy?

Even normal Earthlings wouldn't be so captivated by Ultraman that they can't move an inch.

"Earthlings still love Ultraman so much," Natsuki said with a smile.

Whether it was what I saw in the commercial street before, or this Museum of Light, it all proves that in the past forty years, humanity's yearning for Ultraman has not diminished at all, but has instead grown stronger.

In this interstellar age, most aliens harbor resentment towards Ultraman, and humans who love Ultraman will likely encounter a lot of trouble as a result.

"Regardless of external opinions."

"Ultraman saved the Earth, that's an undeniable fact."

“It’s normal for humans to have this level of love for it,” said Moroboshi Dan, standing next to Natsuki and looking at the models that recreated Ultraman’s battle scenes.

After giving Natsuki a quick tour, they headed towards the elevator to use the equipment underground to examine her.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close.

"Wait me a moment......!"

A clear, boyish voice rang out. Xia Shu turned around and saw a boy in a light brown school uniform running towards the elevator.

The boy was about seventeen years old, 176cm tall, with natural black hair, a handsome face, and exuded the youthful energy that one should have at that age. In addition, he also seemed to have a sense of pride and smugness, as if he had done something very well.

Xia Shu stretched out her leg and wedged it in the gap between the elevator doors, causing the elevator to stop.

Seeing his actions, Moroboshi Dan also gave up pressing the open button, thinking that it was normal for this guy, as an alien, not to know how to use an elevator.

The boy ran into the elevator, smiled and thanked the two of them.

The boy ran such a long distance in just three seconds, and it didn't even seem to be running at full speed. He did it with ease and didn't even need to stop to catch his breath.

Natsuki looked at the boy and noticed something unusual about him.

"You're quite late today, Shinjiro," Moroboshi Dan said, looking at the boy.

The two seemed to know each other.

This boy is definitely not an ordinary high school student.

"Ah... I spent some time outside with my classmates last night," the boy explained earnestly, scratching his head.

He only discovered a few days ago that the Science Patrol hadn't disbanded, and he wasn't particularly familiar with Dan Moroboshi. Moreover... when facing the ever-serious Dan Moroboshi, he always felt a bit reserved, as if this person was not easy to talk to.

In this respect, he is no different from ordinary high school students, and can be considered to be young and naive in line with his age.

"Hmm." Dan Moroboshi simply nodded upon hearing Shinjiro's reply, offering no further comment.

It seems he doesn't particularly like the boy.

Natsuki observed the interaction between the two and tried to guess the situation within the Kurt team.

"By the way... who is this?" The boy didn't seem to enjoy talking to Dan Moroboshi either, so he turned to look at the casually dressed man and asked curiously.

He had never seen this person here before.

"Just call me Natsuki."

"I am an alien who was stranded on Earth by accident." Natsuki gave the boy a gentle smile.

Upon seeing that smile, the boy immediately recognized that this person was completely different from Mr. Moroboshi.

They seem very easy to get along with.

"Hello, I'm Hayata Shinjiro," Shinjiro replied with a smile.

Then, in a very surprised tone, she said, "Mr. Natsuki is an alien, but he looks almost no different from a human."

He had learned about the existence of aliens a few days ago, but he had only seen one alien. Now he had seen another alien, one that looked no different from humans and was very friendly. His youthful curiosity and enthusiasm surged up.

“I am a Shananimian. Although we are quite far from the Milky Way, our planet’s environment is somewhat similar to Earth’s, and our people do not look much different from humans,” Xia Shu explained.

“However… the name Hayata…” Natsuki pinched her chin, looking the boy up and down with some doubt.

“My father is a former member of the Science Patrol, Susumu Hayata,” Shinjiro Hayata nodded and said.

Hayata Shinjiro: Son of Hayata Shin, a 17-year-old high school student, 176cm tall, weighing 63kg, and the wearer of the Ultraman armor.

Chapter 371 Another Jetton Alien

"I see..." Natsuki listened to these words, her gaze flickering as she looked at Shinjiro.
