Ultraman: What, I am guarding Ultra Father?

It would be better to let them conserve their energy and face the coming storm tomorrow.

Asuka Shin felt his scalp tingle when he saw that Higashino Kei suddenly stopped talking and just stared at him:

"Dongye, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"Oh no, you're absolutely right,"

Kei Higashino gathered his thoughts, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly put the rifle hanging on the bag aside.

Then he enthusiastically distributed the canned food collected from the Szak spacecraft to several people.

Faced with Kei Higashino's enthusiasm, Musashi, Asuka Shin, and Kai all felt a little flattered, holding the cans in their hands, at a loss.

At the same time, I was also puzzled by the huge difference in his attitude before and after.

He saw the three of them looking at each other, indifferent to the can he handed over.

Higashino Kei suddenly felt that the canned food in his hand no longer smelled good: "Why don't you eat it? Are you afraid that I'll poison it?"

"That's not what we meant,"

Asuka Shin quickly opened the can and tasted it: "I'm just curious, why is there such a big difference in your attitude?"

Of course there will be a good show tomorrow.

However, Higashino Kei naturally couldn't say this in front of them, so he just found an excuse and said:

"If you find food and feel good, your attitude will naturally improve."

Kai, Musashi, and Asuka Nobuyuki did not suspect anything, but instead commented on the familiar taste of the food.

Gagula listened to the conversation between the three people, looked at them calmly, and pretended nothing had happened, but in fact he secretly glanced at Kei Higashino in the direction of the palace from time to time.

Suddenly, Kei Higashino turned around and their eyes met.

A moment of silence.

Gagula looked away expressionlessly, while Higashino Kei looked at him and chuckled.

……

Late at night.

Jagger, Kai, Asuka Shin, and Musashi all slept around the campfire.

Kei Higashino sat on one side of the campfire, seemingly adding firewood and keeping watch, but in fact he was always paying attention to the task completion countdown in the upper left corner of his vision.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed something wrong.

That was the prefix of the daily task generated by the system for him, without the word "long-term".

In other words, the so-called transaction object of the system is 050, but in fact it is completely his own speculation and has no basis at all.

But no matter how he guessed, the answer would eventually surface automatically at midnight when the task was settled.

But compared to the rewards that have already been determined.

He was now more curious about General Lai Ying, who was lying in the hospital, and his condition after waking up.

I don’t know if he could still bear it after seeing his wife in the delivery room.

If nothing unexpected happens, the general should be awake by now if we come to pick him up.

As the countdown reaches zero.

A string of words appeared in the lower left corner of the field of vision.

[The task is being settled...]

Killing Large Baalzebub: 6, 18 seconds

[Killing a medium-sized Baalzebub: 41, totaling 41 seconds]

[Crushing Small Baalzebub: 103, 1 second]

【Total additional time: 60S】

[The transaction partner's evaluation of the task: G, extremely poor, not issued]

[The system is in negotiation... Rewards are being distributed...]

Who is distributing this reward?

Kei Higashino looked at the words in his field of vision and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard behind him.

slap~

"Hiss~ Hey~ Ah!"

Kei Higashino was suddenly hit on the back by a long and thin object, and he grimaced in pain.

As bits of light began to bloom all over his body, the pain came and went quickly.

When he saw clearly the murderer who attacked him, he realized that the thing that hit him was actually a gleaming green branch extending from the crown of the Tree of Life above his head.

【Rewards Distribution Ended】

[The number of tasks owed by the player has been deducted by half. 3 tasks have been deducted. The remaining number of tasks is 284.]

Kei Higashino never expected that the reward would be given by a tree.

However, he also understood why the Tree of Life did this. After all, Queen Amaterasu was the child born from the Tree of Life.

Even though the kid is a fool.

But who made him say in front of Fei Niao and the others that he should blow up the queen?

It's my bad luck.

Kei Higashino had a bitter look on his face as he scratched his back which was still in pain.

But soon, the bitterness on his face suddenly became extremely interesting as the font of today's task generation appeared in the lower left corner of his vision.

[Task generating...]

[Due to excessive task arrears, the penalty mechanism is triggered, and a long-term task will be generated this time]

Difficulty: C

[Task Summary: Those who play with time will eventually be played with by time]

[Energy is being accumulated. The transmission channel will be opened in five days. Detailed mission information will be provided at that time.]

Chapter 33 33 Abnormal

five days?

Or Class C?

Kei Higashino was dumbfounded. His overall strength was D, and he was trying to complete a C-level task. Isn't this ridiculous?

He hasn't paid off all his debts yet and he's already owed thirty more. Where can he go to seek justice?

Before he could react, the font was regenerated again.

[Today's task has been generated, please complete it on time within 24 hours]

[Overdue will trigger the penalty mechanism and no rewards will be issued]

[Long run: 10 km, status: unfinished]

[Squat: 100, Status: Incomplete]

[Sit-ups: 100, Status: Incomplete]

[Push-ups: 100, Status: Incomplete]

[Task Reward 1: Current overall physical fitness increased by % and has been automatically issued]

[Task Reward 2: Restore Physical Condition]

Well, now that things have come to this, let’s complete today’s task first.

Kei Higashino shrugged, stood up and added two pieces of firewood to the campfire to make sure it would not go out. Then he looked in a direction and started running around the settlement.

Asuka Shin and others who were sleeping noticed the movement and opened their eyes to glance at Higashino Kei.

Seeing that he was just running in circles, they looked at each other for a moment and then fell asleep again.

……

at the same time.

In a magnificently decorated hospital ward near Ganon Palace.

General Lai Ying, dressed in black armor, looked around the ward blankly.

Think back to everything that happened today.

General Lai Ying, who was eager to know the latest situation, ignored the peculiar smell on his body and kept shouting outside the ward:

"Someone come! Someone come, where are the people? Where did they go?"

The loud shout spread.

Normally, the guard in charge of looking after him would immediately open the door and run in to report the news to him.

However, no matter how much the general came to greet him, no one responded from outside the door.

Not only did no female nurse come in to respond to his doubts.

The whole hospital was so quiet that it was a little eerie.

With doubts in his mind, General Lai Ying just walked out of the ward and came to the brightly lit corridor, and saw several of his guards looking at each other with dull eyes.

Seeing this scene, General Lai Ying was immediately furious and shouted harshly.

"As royal guards, how dare you neglect your duties like this? Where do you place the honor of Ganon's soldiers?"

But what surprised him was that the guard who had followed him for many years did not react at all in response to his scolding.

General Lai Ying felt insulted. He frowned and pushed one of the Ganon guards, whose eyes were dull, against the wall. He drew his sword and placed it on the guard's shoulder, angrily saying:

"Guards, I called you, why didn't you respond?"
