The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

"Give me a bottle of Stardust Whisky!"

Beria was in a good mood today and decided to order an expensive bottle to liven things up.

"Please wait a moment!" Jamila immediately ran to the bar to get the drinks.

Jinghe looked left and right.

"Is there any significance to this bluestone?" he asked Gintoki in a low voice.

Judging from Murphy's expression, this thing is definitely more than just a simple amulet.

Gintoki shrugged: "Who knows? But since it was a gift from Himeya, you can't go wrong keeping it. After all, that's one of only two Ultramen in the bar!"

"Ultraman, is he really that important?" Jinghe seemed to realize something.

"Of course!"

Gintoki nodded: "Himeya's true identity is Ultraman Noa! He's a legendary powerhouse at the pinnacle of the universe!"

"Wow!"

Although it's unclear exactly how strong Ultraman Noa is, the fact that he's considered the pinnacle of a universe speaks volumes about his prestige.

Regardless of how billions of universes evaporate with a wave of the hand in works of art, in the cognitive scale of normal people, the vastness of the universe is almost infinite, a colossal existence that humans cannot fully comprehend or perceive.

"You're exaggerating too much," Jun Himeya said helplessly.

Ever since Murphy opened his own box in public, people have been exaggerating when they talk about him.

"I'm just an ordinary adaptable person."

Jun Himeya smiled wryly. He really wished he could be as powerful as Noah, as Murphy had described. But the reality was that he struggled even against an ordinary alien beast.

Beria couldn't help but scoff: "Excessive modesty is no virtue!"

Although he had never witnessed Jun Himeya's transformed form, and his understanding of Noah was limited to Murphy's accounts and snippets of information circulating in the Land of Light, he sensed that Jun Himeya's power was definitely no less than that of Zoffy or the original Noah.

Such strength is extremely rare even within the Space Garrison. Yet, he always acts like a weakling, which immediately reminded him of Ken.

That guy always did the same thing, thinking he was deliberately hiding his strength to protect his pride.

Damn it, am I really such a sore loser?

He never understood that what truly angered him was not being surpassed, but being looked down upon and distrusted!

Sensing Belial's resentment, Jun Himeya felt increasingly helpless.

Aside from their first meeting, he and Belial had always had a terrible relationship. As the only two Ultramen in the bar, their relationship should have been better. The fact that they didn't argue was entirely due to Jun Himeya's deliberate forbearance.

As a result, Jun Himeya admired Murphy even more.

How did he manage to tame this rough guy so well?

The tense atmosphere made Jinghe shrink back like an ostrich.

"Do they have some kind of grudge?"

Jinghe asked Gintoki in a low voice. In his eyes, Gintoki was a complete know-it-all at the bar.

Gintoki's expression was also quite subtle.

"No, that one is actually Ultraman too."

"Huh, are they from the same race? But why is one human and the other an alien?"

Gintoki had to give Kei a lesson on what Ultraman was once again.

"Wow...that's amazing!"

After listening to Gintoki's explanation, Keiwa looked at Jun Himeya and Belial with starry eyes.

For him, who longed for world peace, the Land of Light and Ultraman were incredibly cool.

The Ultraman family is exactly the kind of person he aspires to be.

"I never imagined that Ultraman Noah would sacrifice his life to protect humanity... Waaah... I... I'm so moved!"

Jinghe rubbed her reddened eyes, trying hard not to shed tears.

"Hey, that's way too much!"

Gintoki feels that he is trending towards becoming Shinpachi.

Is it really necessary to be this moved just because I heard Noah's story?

"No, I just feel like I've found a direction to strive for!"

Jinghe's eyes, which had become dull from worrying about her sister, brightened again.

"Mr. Himeya is right. I really need to find out the truth about the monsters and DGP!"

He carefully put the blue stone away.

"I must protect my sister, and I must protect the world!"

Gintoki scratched his cheek. Why did Keikawa suddenly get so excited?

However, he doesn't dislike this kind of personality.

In Jinghe, he saw a bit of his former self. Back then, he and everyone else were just as confident, believing they could change the world.

Unfortunately, they didn't persevere in the end.

While he doesn't regret his current choice, Gintoki would like Kagekazu to stick it out until the end if possible.

"Gintoki-san. What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Keiwa felt a little uneasy under Gintoki's gaze.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if the noodles would get soggy after we've been chatting for so long."

"Oops!"

Jinghe exclaimed in surprise.

He ordered these two bowls of buckwheat noodles with the last of his money; he couldn't let them go to waste!

Jinghe immediately lowered his head and started slurping the noodles.

Compared to the last soba noodles that had no tanuki spirit but were full of tanuki, Murphy's tanuki soba noodles this time are much more normal.

Although the cooking skills are still just average, at least you can tell that it was made with care.

Jinghe ate with great relish.

"tasty!"

Although they still hadn't found a way to make her sister stronger quickly, after visiting the bar, Jinghe had much more confidence in the future.

"As long as I have this bowl of buckwheat noodles, I feel that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I will definitely be able to overcome them!"

Murphy couldn't help but laugh when he heard Jinghe's words: "It's not that exaggerated!"

Murphy was in high spirits after receiving recognition for his culinary skills for the first time.

"Well, since Himeya gave you a talisman, I can't be stingy."

"Here you go!" Murphy handed Jing a small red and white ball.

"what is this?"

"This is a Poké Ball. It can capture anything that has consciousness. However, the success rate is higher when the Pokémon is severely injured."

Although this thing doesn't seem as high-end as Jun Himeya's bluestone, Murphy simply didn't have anything else suitable on hand.

Jinghe doesn't want to be a monster, so he can't exactly give him an Impreza Captain's mobile suit, can he?

While this item might be enough for him to speedrun DGP in one night, it wouldn't be good for Murphy's entertainment. More importantly, he didn't swear allegiance like Homura Akemi.

No matter how generous Murphy is, he can't treat everyone the same.

Chapter 103 The Evil Noah

Jinghe couldn't think of the monster ball's use for a moment, but he still carefully put it away, intending to give it to his sister later.

Putting aside other considerations, at least in times of crisis, it can be used to hold off some enemies.

Jinghe came and went in a hurry.

Sakurai Sara should be participating in a competition soon. He needs to get back to his sister as soon as possible to protect her.

After Jinghe left, the other guests in the bar either drank or chatted.

Belial was in a good mood today and had even ordered some good wine, intending to have a couple of drinks with Murphy. However, Himeya had ordered several main dishes, preventing him from doing so.

Belial was a little annoyed. However, this time he didn't take it out on Jun Himeya. Jun Himeya ordered the expensive dishes not for enjoyment, but for serious business.

As mentioned earlier, obtaining the bluestone from the ruins wasn't easy for Jun Himeya. Furthermore, he frequently battles alien beasts. The secret to his current excellent condition lies in the food at the tavern.

Ordinary foods are fine, nothing special compared to the ordinary world like Earth. In fact, Murphy's mediocre cooking skills are not even as good as some master chefs' elaborate creations.

But those yokai and monster dishes are different.

These top-quality ingredients are not only delicious in their raw form, but also rich in nutrients and energy.

At first, Jun Himeya hadn't considered trying these things. He always felt he deserved to be punished, and besides drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he felt he had no right to enjoy material desires.

Even after hearing about Naruto and Teresa's experiences and rereading the Naruto manga, which restored some of his confidence in life, his mindset remained unchanged.

So even though Homura Akemi tried to sell him Kyubey every day, he remained completely unmoved.

Until, under the guidance of the Evolution Trusters, he started distributing bluestones at the tavern and was caught red-handed by Murphy—

To apologize, Jun Himeya quickly came up with a brilliant idea and ordered a lot of expensive dishes.

After eating, Jun Himeya, who felt physically weak, was surprised to find that his condition had improved considerably.

At first, he didn't connect it to monster cuisine. It wasn't until the next day, after fighting the alien beast and using the Perfect Tower Domain, that Jun Himeya, who had lost a lot of his physical strength, dragged his tired body to the tavern.

He had only wanted to fill his stomach, but after eating a bowl of Kemjila rice, he actually recovered almost half of his weight.

It was only then that Jun Himeya fully realized the significance of these monster dishes.

From that day on, after every battle he would come to the Monster Tavern and order a table full of monster dishes.

Even though Murphy has now opened up currency exchange at different times, with Jun Himeya's wealth, it's simply impossible for him to afford to eat like this every day.

One reason is that the appearance of alien beasts is too frequent. Jun Himeya has to fight about once a day on average. Another reason is that these monster dishes are too expensive.

Left with no other choice, he could only use the cells of the alien beast to pay off the debt.

Actually, Murphy initially disagreed with this suggestion.

Alien beasts are just too dangerous.

This thing is described as a living organism, but it's more like a terrifying cosmic phenomenon.

They can resurrect indefinitely as long as they retain a single cell. Furthermore, they can multiply and grow by feeding on emotions such as fear, despair, and hatred in people's hearts.

Once this thing spreads, this universe will likely follow in the footsteps of the universe where Jun Himeya is located.

Finally, Murphy promised him that he would never use the alien cells for dangerous development, nor would he allow them to spread. Coupled with the faint message from the Evolution Trustee, Jun Himeya reluctantly agreed.

Beria initially had some reservations about this.

It's not that I'm questioning Murphy, but he always likes to nip danger in the bud.

Finally, after Murphy showed him his work, he shut up.

Of course, saying he shut up isn't entirely accurate. Sometimes, after a hearty meal and drinks, he'd come to Murphy's lab to observe for a while, casually making a few sarcastic remarks.

Although he never physically intervened, his sarcastic remarks always managed to subtly remind Murphy of crucial points he had overlooked.

As for whether this was a coincidence... well, Murphy believed it anyway.

It was thanks to these monster dishes that Jun Himeya was able to confidently lend Murphy the Stone Wings, who was responsible for treating him, for two days.

Otherwise, given his current combat strength, even if Jun Himeya no longer wanted to die, he would probably still die.

Meanwhile, in another universe, Dark Zagi was completely baffled.

"That's not right. With this level of combat intensity, how did that candidate manage to hold on?"

He had a bad feeling.

Not long ago, the entire script seemed to be slipping out of his control.

Originally, according to his plan, the current host, Jun Himeya, would gradually reach his limit and eventually have to pass on the light of Nexus.

During this process, he will interact with the Night Raid team members in TLT and build bonds with them.
