Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

Chapter 20 The Encounter of Light and Darkness

"We're late."

Standing atop Jormungandr, Huixia, protected by dark energy, arrived late and noticed the dark power that was about to dissipate, feeling somewhat annoyed.

The remaining energy was no longer enough to be turned into a card.

Jormungandr beneath him carefully sensed the information and then relayed it to the Lord of Darkness.

"Oh? You mean the giant that appeared twenty years ago?"

Hui Xia frowned slightly. Could it be that Ultraman really existed in this world?

Therefore, the legends circulating are true.

So, which monster is being referred to as the sealed dragon?

Dark Spark: Turn him into a card, card card card!

Huixia pressed down on the restless bracelet with one hand, and then began to return with Jormungandr.

Although she came up empty-handed, Hui Xia quickly recovered and didn't seem to care too much.

After all, they already had a Jormungandr, so their novelty had been satisfied.

Humans are indeed creatures that crave novelty and tire of the old.

What he cared about was that Ultraman.

Who is it?

As for whether he would become an enemy of Ultraman, Huixia felt there was no need to worry.

As a dark figure who is both handsome and rational, having Ultraman is actually a good thing.

There aren't many workers left who are this hardworking and don't charge a fee.

When the time comes, I'll be cheering on O'Neal while he fights his way through the battlefield, and maybe even grab a card myself. That's not too much to ask, is it?

The only hope is that it won't be those Ultraman who indiscriminately attacks all aliens.

After all, although we borrowed the monster's power, we didn't do anything bad.

Those who resolutely consider things from a human perspective, like Seven.

Or rather, the old Oklahoma City guards of the Showa era.

It can't be called prejudice, because during the Showa era, most monsters were basically invaders that threatened the Earth.

The few that don't harm humans are simply those who are relatively weak and don't even have that thought.

A planet full of hope and vitality.

It's what so many guys dream of...

The countless invaders who fought and died in the battle against Ultraman proved this point, and for this they wrote a legendary chapter of blood and tears with their lives.

...

"I'm in good health, even better than before..."

Inside the UPC designated hospital, after completing all the tests on Li Zhenna, the doctor couldn't help but sigh and then announced that she no longer needed to be hospitalized.

Just kidding, with such healthy data, it doesn't look like an injury at all.

Boden, however, was less fortunate. He suffered a head injury and his leg was trapped in the deformed cockpit. Coupled with the trauma he sustained in his young mind, he will need to stay in a hospital bed for a while…

Out of politeness, Mana visited Boden, who was still in the ward repeatedly telling the doctor that he didn't need to take medicine or get injections, and then politely took her leave amidst the other's resentful expression.

Noticing that the other person was lively and energetic, while he himself was wrapped in bandages on his legs and head, looking like a mummy, he couldn't help but lament the injustice of fate. He had clearly prayed to all the gods for protection before he was injured...

Perhaps it was because your heart was not sincere and you were too greedy, seeking protection from three different deities, that the deities unanimously chose to stand idly by...

The nurse who heard Borden's complaint blinked, smiled, and secretly muttered to herself.

The doctor standing to the side stared thoughtfully at the thick syringe filled with medicine.

...

Wandering aimlessly down the street, the noise couldn't distract Mana from her inexplicable thoughts.

"Drip..."

When Mana came to her senses, she realized that she had stepped onto the zebra crossing and occupied almost half of the lane.

A black car impatiently kept honking its horn and even flashing its headlights at her.

The drivers behind were also getting impatient, and some leaned out of their windows, pointing and whispering.

Mana silently shrank back, and the black car then drove past safely.

However, I vaguely heard the other person say something like:

"Is such a pretty girl out of her mind...?"

...

"Hey, Huixia! That's going too far! You actually sneaked out?!"

When Huixia returns to the Ichiyo Café, she is met with a relentless barrage of criticism from Yoshimoto Sakura.

"Waaah, you've left me here all alone..."

"Hmph, that's too much. I'm never talking to you again."

The girl had one hand on her hip and the other operating the machine, complaining incessantly.

The waiting guests couldn't help but smile like aunties.

It seems that he himself is the one being scolded.

Only then did I belatedly realize that the beautiful girl in front of me had absolutely no relation to me...

His face immediately fell, like a "corporate slave" who had worked overtime for half a month but didn't get a penny of overtime pay and even had his bonus deducted.

"Here, your milk tea has lots of pearls on it."

As if by magic, Huixia, who had been standing with her back turned, presented a cup of milk tea with a cute design to Ying.

"... "

He snatched it away.

"Hmph, I forgive you."

The perfunctory answer, however, brought Huixia a sense of relief.

The male customer, looking resentful, took his coffee and walked away dejectedly.

"Huh? Mr. Kii isn't having coffee at the shop this time?"

I'm so disappointed. I was hoping to sell you some new desserts so I could make a little extra money from you.

"Oh, actually I never intended to leave; I just wanted to see the scenery outside."

The guest was slightly taken aback, then flashed what he thought was a handsome smile and sat down quite naturally.

Hui Xia shrugged, used to it.

Just as Huixia was about to help Sakura with her work, she noticed something unusual about the Spark Bracelet.

what's the situation?

Before he could even ask, he himself sensed an unpleasant aura.

Hui Xia turned his gaze to the window, where he saw a person glowing all over approaching until they reached the entrance of the café.

So that's how it is. Is it Mana?

It feels a bit unbelievable for some reason...

She silently lowered her head, concealing the slight surprise on her face, "Ding-a-ling~"

Hearing the door open, Huixia looked up at the perfect moment, revealing a perfect smile: "Mana-nee, are you taking a break today too?"

"Well, I guess so. The shop doesn't seem very busy today."

Mana didn't know how to answer why she had come here again.

Sensing that something was wrong with Mana, Huixia quietly pulled out a chair for her, and Mana naturally moved her feet and sat down gently.

"Is something on your mind? You look unwell."

"Well, it's not exactly something on my mind..."

Mana was conflicted. Logically, she shouldn't tell anyone about this mysterious power, especially since Huixia didn't seem to be an ordinary person...

She vaguely sensed that the light's purpose was to destroy the monsters. Although she didn't know why the light had chosen her, did gaining this power mean she had to become an enemy of Huixia?

No, this power should not be used in this way.

Mana quickly dismissed this terrible idea.

Unaware that Hui Xia's expression was also somewhat strange as she looked at her.

Until Sakura quietly walked over with two cups of coffee.

"Here you are, gentlemen, this is your coffee, it's free!"

Sakura's scrutinizing gaze made Huixia feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't move an inch. She accepted Sakura's address calmly and let the other gently place the coffee in front of her.

Sakura glared at him irritably, then mouthed something to Kaguya behind Mana's back.

"It's all on your tab."

Only then did they leave happily.

Hui Xia was slightly taken aback, finding it somewhat amusing; it was just two cups of coffee...

Looking down, I saw the two most expensive coffees in the shop.

"..."

"Hey, Huixia..."

"If, suppose, someone gained superhuman strength, what do you think she should do?"

Mana rubbed her forehead in annoyance, unaware that her hair was sticking up awkwardly, making her look quite adorable.
