Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 42 Rubbing Salt into Old Tom's Wounds

Kajio came to his senses afterward.

The monster was clearly just teasing him.

The answer is obvious when you consider the humane and non-malicious behavior, combined with Xia Yu being enveloped by the electric pillar.

Ishimuro didn't go into detail about his identity, but Kajio vaguely knew that Xia Yu was no ordinary person.

The Stone Chamber held a separate internal meeting to discuss this matter, emphasizing the need to protect Xia Yu's identity.

Firstly, it's to prevent ordinary citizens or high-ranking members of the Guard from finding out, as that would cause Xia Yu a lot of trouble.

Secondly, they are worried that the destruction of the root cause will lead to an attack on Xia Yu (Xia Yu: waiting for the next wave).

Thirdly, Shi Shi hoped that XIG would not rely so much on Xia Yu's help.

Deep down, he remained wary of Xia Yu; this is what they mean by "you can't be too careful around people."

As for my dream, it doesn't matter much. He's very smart but not very shrewd. He's innocent and naive, and you can see right through him.

Xia Yu is different now.

Shi Shi vaguely sensed that he was hiding many secrets.

Regardless, Ishimuro is currently filled with gratitude towards him.

Chiba too.

His nephew, Hongxi, inexplicably regained his courage and took the initiative to dig out the buried Voyager 1.

He wants to continue looking up at the stars and exploring the mysteries of the universe.

Chiba was very happy about his nephew's comeback, but after chatting with him, he realized that it was related to Xia Yu.

These few words, along with their guiding and exemplary approach, played an unexpected role when the monster was about to destroy the treasure trove he had envisioned.

Of course, his uncle Chiba also deserves credit.

That's why he had a very good impression of Xia Yu.

After this incident, he tried to visit him several times to express his gratitude, but the door was always closed, as if he wasn't home.

Actually, Xia Yu was at home, but he was just extremely busy.

The good news is that almost all of the three monsters are alive.

The news I'm receiving is that my house is about to be demolished.

I don't know who came up with this idea, but the three of them are going to decide who is second, third, and fourth in rank.

Xia Yu is naturally the boss, no objection to that.

Then they wanted to fight over who was second oldest.

Gala is alright, she's rather adorable and doesn't care who's the second child.

It was more concerned about whether it had a place in Xia Yu's bed.

Mmm, it's so warm and smells so good.

Hel and Thunderbolt are strong contenders for second place.

Hel was the first to recover, so naturally he wanted to become the leader of Thunder and Lightning.

But Thunder and Lightning, relying on their superior strength, completely ignored Hel.

The two engaged in numerous domestic battles in their small home, causing Xia Yu a great deal of trouble.

"Hel, be careful not to cut the window glass. I don't have that much money to pay for it."

"Oh no! You blew up the main power switch! How am I supposed to watch TV now?"

"Stop fighting!"

Enraged, Xia Yu pinned Hel and Bao Lei to the ground, one in each hand.

They instantly lost their temper.

Perhaps Xia Yu rekindled the light in their souls, for they became incredibly obedient and affectionate towards him.

"Alright, what's there to argue about? You are all very important partners to me, and there is no distinction between you."

After a barrage of sweet talk, the battle between Hel and Thunder finally came to an end.

Hel is the second oldest, Gala is the third oldest, and Thunder is the fourth oldest.

Don't be upset, even if you are, keep it to yourself.

Tregear watched in amazement, [I have to admit, it's completely different from the monster ring I created.]

I'm really curious, how did you do that?

Moreover, I feel that they are all entirely new life forms, completely different souls from before.

Tregear was indeed very interested in the changes to the Monster Ring.

Unfortunately, he was locked in a cage called Xia Yu and couldn't move.

His words made Xia Yu thoughtful, "An old tree can be reborn."

"By the way, Lao Tuo, don't you think I look familiar to those three?" Xia Yu said with a mischievous smile.

【What?】Old Tuo had a feeling that this kid was up to something again, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Xia Yu coughed lightly, and amidst Old Tuo's sudden change in expression, he shouted:

"Although we were born on different planets."

"But there is only one direction to go."

Our friendship will never fade.

"We are---a three-person team!!!"

Xia Yu extended the back of his hand.

Thunder reacted quickly, placing its claws under Xia Yu's hand first, and Hel was not to be outdone.

Xia Yu found it a bit prickly, so he placed it on the top shelf.

Gala slowly rubbed Xia Yu's hand before finally putting it down.

Torregia is in a daze...

The painful memories of my past have been resurrected today and are lashing me out.

Xia Yu, I'll fight you to the death!!!

Torella Arutekaiser

【Ahhh--I can't shoot it out~ Uh~】

Torregia knew this kid liked to rub salt into wounds, and he kept spouting nonsense.

But this time it was really damn hurtful.

Such cringeworthy lines, such a cringeworthy teenager, and I actually lost to Taiga and a human.

That's a fact that Toregia still refuses to accept.

"Okay, stop pretending. I know you're not that bad at handling things."

"Just kidding, don't mind it." Xia Yu waved his hand and happily enjoyed breakfast with the three monsters.

Now I feel completely safe. With the three-headed monster and Renlong's Dragon Ball, I can basically do whatever I want.

He was actually hoping that the Root Destroyer would send more monsters to attack him.

I guarantee you'll have an unforgettable night.

......

The monster control device I obtained from Zhong Nai'er in my dream has yielded results.

Geo base sent someone to pick him up.

He was somewhat surprised to see the person in charge.

She was a beautiful female scientist, and he knew her.

Dr. Kyoko Inamori.

Back in Alchemy Star, Inamori was Fujimiya's best partner. Their relationship was that of mentor and friend, and it even had a hint of something more.

After Fujimiya withdrew, Inamori also withdrew and disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect to see her today.

"Is it a dream? Hello."

Inamori was also sizing up the young man in front of him.

That vibrant energy and unwavering gaze are just like that person's.

Inamori seemed lost in thought.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

She smiled apologetically, "I've studied the machine language translator that you recovered before, but because it contains relatively little monster data, its utilization efficiency is quite low."

"Speaking of which, the design concept is quite similar to my Passerby."

She tapped the screen and explained, "This machine on the screen is Passel. After some modifications, it can begin to control the monster's fighting instincts."

"That's already amazing," I sincerely praised.

Inamori smiled politely.

"By the way, Meng, why do you think monsters keep appearing again and again?"

"Eh?"

"I've been thinking about this question throughout this research." Inamori gazed into the distance, a hint of something indescribable in his eyes.

"Is the Earth angry at humanity's selfishness?"

This sounds familiar; I dreamt of Fujimiya.

This was a complicated question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Just then, the communicator rang.

"I dreamt that a monster appeared on Mount Chichibu."

"I understand, I'll go back immediately."

After saying hello to Inamori, I quickly boarded the EX.

Unbeknownst to him, Inamori's eyes suddenly turned cold.
