Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

"Minghui!"

"Oh, let me see who this is. Isn't this my beautiful Queen?"

Minghui stepped in from the doorway, a gentle smile on his lips, and opened his arms.

In fact, he had been listening at the door for a while. Dan Moroboshi's embarrassment amused him, and he would have liked to listen a little longer if he hadn't burst out laughing out loud.

"Minghui, are you alright? Where have you been all this time?"

Niki ran and threw herself into Minghui's arms, hugging him tightly and murmuring something.

Minghui's expression softened considerably at that moment. He gently patted the back of the person in his arms and whispered:

"The team leader is right, I did go to another universe. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Are there really other universes?"

Niki was slightly surprised, but she quickly put it aside and said nonchalantly:

"But that's not important, as long as you're safe and sound."

She paused, then her voice lowered slightly:

"I'm really afraid you'll be punished because of me."

Minghui's smile deepened, and he said:

"Don't worry, the Land of Light isn't an unreasonable place. I haven't done anything wrong, so why would I be punished?"

On the contrary, I'm having a great time here.

It's also my fault; I should have told you before I came.

"Hmph! You just don't care about me at all."

Niki said somewhat discontentedly, pinching Minghui's hand that was wrapped around his waist, but quickly stopped and rubbed it.

She straightened up from Minghui's embrace, looked up into his eyes, and said:

"Even if you are punished, I will not let you bear it alone. I said before that I am willing to take the punishment for you, or I will always be with you no matter what we face."

Niki did not come here hoping to use diplomatic means to avoid Minghui's non-existent 'punishment'. If she could, that would be better, but if not, she was prepared to stay with Minghui.

Hearing Niki's words, Minghui was stunned for a moment. He looked down at Niki's serious expression and suddenly smiled.

He didn't say anything more, but simply lowered his head slightly.

Niki slowly closed her eyes and tilted her head back to meet her.

But just as the two were about to have some intimate contact, a cough suddenly rang out at an inopportune moment:

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Minghui raised his head and stared at him:

What are you still doing here?

Dan Moroboshi didn't answer, but stared at him with wide eyes.

"Tch, you have no sense at all!"

Minghui pursed his lips, grabbed Niki, and walked outside:

"Come on, let's go to my place! My bed is huge... Ugh, my house is gorgeous!"

Niki covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but before leaving, she gave Dan Moroboshi a slightly apologetic look:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Moroboshi, for causing you trouble these past few days."

But before she could finish speaking and receive a response from Dan Moroboshi, Akira pulled her away from there.

"Young people these days..."

Dan Moroboshi smiled and shook his head.

He put his hands behind his back, strolled leisurely outside, and muttered to himself:

"Hmm, Annu should be at home right now, right? I've missed her a bit since I last saw her!"

Minghui carried Niki as they sped across the city sky.

As the wind swept through, their whispers faded and dissipated.

"Um... Minghui, I brought the general's armor from last time as well."

"Huh?! Cough cough, this doesn't require fighting, why are you bringing it along?"

"What? You don't like it?"

"Hmm...no, it's just...this outfit actually looks pretty good..."

"hehe......"

Chapter 376 Hikari, do you want power or not?

"See? I wasn't lying to you, was I? My bed really is big and soft, isn't it?"

Having just gone through a 'battle', Minghui lay sprawled on the bed, slightly out of breath, his mouth stretched almost to the back of his head in a wide grin.

"Stop fooling around, let me rest for a while."

With her eyes slightly closed, Niki lay languidly on Minghui's chest, her hair loose and slightly damp with sweat, clinging to Minghui's skin.

Seeing this, Minghui said nothing more. He raised his hand and gently patted Niki's smooth back, then turned his gaze slightly to the side.

Through a sliver of light peeking through the curtains, he could see the view outside.

It was a mountain range, but unfortunately it was barren, with little greenery to be seen.

His current residence is far from the city, located in an area with a more pristine landscape.

This was a location Minghui chose himself. It was nice in the city, but the place was all glittery and he wasn't used to living there.

It's worth mentioning that his current residence wasn't built out of the box; he created it himself, bit by bit.

However, this is the general situation here. Many houses were built by the residents of the Land of Light themselves. After all, they all possess considerable power, and building houses is a very simple matter for them.

Minghui was simply adapting to local customs.

He was happy with this, because only what he made himself could truly satisfy him.

For example, the large, soft bed he's currently sitting on is something that most residents of the Land of Light don't have.

With their bodies as strong as steel, they wouldn't feel any discomfort sleeping on hard stone slabs.

However, his bed, along with the house itself, wasn't actually that big, at least not in the eyes of the residents of the Land of Light, who were tens of meters tall. They even thought it was pitifully small.

That is indeed the case, simply because Minghui was built according to the human body shape.

Even in the Land of Light, he still prefers to act in human form. Unless he is in a city, he will always maintain his human form.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Minghui felt the gaze upon him. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked down at his chest.

Niki had opened her eyes at some point, and her bright eyes were silently watching him.

"Have you rested well?"

Minghui smiled and moved slightly.

But Niki pressed him back down, then closed her eyes again, her lips moving slightly:

"No, I need to rest a little longer."

But even so, a little while later, Niki secretly opened her eyes again and looked at Minghui, their eyes meeting.

The next moment, the two smiled at each other and silently hugged each other tightly.

After laughing, Minghui thought of what they had talked about earlier, and then said:

"You just said you'll be staying here for the foreseeable future, but what about Alpha Planet? Is it really alright for the Queen to be away for so long?"

"It has some impact, but not that much."

Niki lay on Minghui's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered:

“My mother is still alive, and she will resume her duties as Queen during this period. In fact, if it weren’t for what happened last time, she could have stayed in this position for a long time.”

"Is this even possible?"

Upon hearing this, Minghui raised an eyebrow, then hesitated and said:

"But you've only just taken the throne, and this is the time to consolidate your position. Won't the people criticize you for doing this?"

"What, do you absolutely insist that I go back?"

Upon hearing Minghui's words, Niki suddenly rolled her eyes dramatically. She straightened up from Minghui, looked down at him, and said with displeasure.

Minghui's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the swaying white skin before him, which stirred his heart and made him unable to control his emotions.

But the gaze from above made him dare not make a move. He could only close his eyes, shake his head violently, and say:

"Of course not! I'm too happy for you to worry about, I'm just worried that this might have some impact on you."

"That's more like it."

Niki seemed pleased with his reaction; she smiled slyly and sat up completely.

Then, under Minghui's gaze, Niki raised her arms and gently stretched them out, displaying her beautiful curves to Minghui with a soft moan.

"It's not as complicated as you think. Alpha Planet has long since passed the stage of royal centralized power. There are specialized people in charge of various aspects of the planet. Unless it's a special event like last time, I don't usually have much to deal with."

Now, the impact of the last event on the planet's interior has completely subsided, and because of our performance last time, our relationship with the surrounding planets has become closer and more peaceful than ever before.

Therefore, Alpha Planet is perfectly safe and sound right now, and it doesn't matter much if I'm not there.

Niki got off the bed and, while picking out a barely intact piece of clothing from the scattered clothes and putting it on, she spoke.

Then, she went to the window, opened it, and looked at the continuous mountain range shrouded in mist outside. She spoke again:

"Thinking about it now, being a queen isn't all that great."

I used to dream of this position, but now that I'm actually queen, I miss the days when I was simply known as the 'Goddess of Victory'.

"Oh......"
