Chapter 343: with translation of chapter title

~11 min read 2,095 words

The whole head looked like a cracked pear without a stem; the head shape of the Jetton (also translated as Zhidun) alien is classic, and even the orange‑yellow single eye in the middle of the face is extremely familiar.

As a classic alien image that has appeared since the first Ultraman.

His suit could even be slightly altered to pass as an Alien Baltan (x) in the inter‑dimensional filter.

Using such a head as a simple trademark hung on that skyscraper office building makes up Jetton Nebula Media Company.

Of course, it's merely a temporary base during the monster exhibition.

Inter‑dimensional space ultimately belongs to the Alien Baltans; even if the two company bosses are fellow townsmen, they still have some business cooperation, but as the Dongyan saying goes, 'Even brothers must settle accounts clearly.'

Moreover, the relationship between those two bosses is nowhere near that good.

It's just business cooperation.

As competitors, if there's an opportunity they don't mind adding a little obstruction.

After the exhibition ends, these things have to be taken down; do you want to fix them in one place every session?

Im­pos­si­ble!! (In the tone of a second‑generation Alien Baltan fan)

Every time we hold an exhibition, we Alien Baltans have to clear a patch of inter‑dimensional space anew!

——According to that, even as the main organizer, Jetton Nebula Media Company's booth each session must also change along with everyone else.

However, as one of the organizers of the monster exhibition, Jetton Company naturally has the right to prioritize determining the location and size of its own 'booth'.

Thus it stands in the form of an office building in the busiest district of Zone B.

It's worth noting that being an office building rather than the extravagant 'large plaza', 'large arena', or 'magnificent palace' styles of other companies' booths is of course not about area.

The booth area for this exhibition is determined by qualification review; Jetton Company could easily make a full‑size football field, but it chose an office building simply because its headquarters is shaped that way, with no other meaning.

The boss, being an extraterrestrial from another world, always wears a traditional Earth‑style suit.

Moreover… it's just that it occupies a bit less ground space; does that mean it can't display monsters?

Whether it's miniature monster displays or the operation of nesting inter‑dimensions, other booths use them, and Jetton Nebula Media Company naturally has no problem either!

Thus the scene here looks just like that of an ordinary company with high visitor traffic.

An ordinary building.

Ordinary‑attired staff reception.

What's not ordinary is the staff's ethnically diverse composition.

And likewise, the guests are equally ethnically diverse, despite their exotic attire.

Of course, being suddenly pointed at by a dangerous weapon is also something ordinary companies rarely experience, especially when several floors are set ablaze together.

The atmosphere suddenly turned into something like a Hirasaka Tower.

"Wow! It seems not just those few floors are burning, huh? Want to go take a look, Little Snake?" Shinjo Akane, having moved the telescope aside, immediately called out to Aomo beside her.

The latter was holding up his own demon‑transformed 'figure' and examining the details; hearing this, he didn't even shift his gaze: "If you open the mercenary video site and search for Jetton Nebula Media Company, the first result should be the live stream."

Even if one isn't a mercenary, someone will still open the camera mode.

Leaving aside the live stream, after each monster exhibition ends, the internet will see many more monster‑related video resources, which is also a way to make profit.

It's just that it easily attracts haters.

But as the saying goes, even anti‑fans are fans; many people are willing to ride the wave by claiming to 'expose the Hei'an content of the monster exhibition' or 'unveil the secrets of the annual Hei'an exhibition', caring nothing about whether everyone just wants the small circle to stay small, and they don't intend to become famous in some confusing, chaotic way.

Those who open synchronous live streams are never lacking.

When a dangerous incident occurs, they will also become like war journalists, active on the screen held by Shihuai Ya.

"What's this situation?" "It has nothing to do with merchants."

Still saying it without looking, Aomo was bringing the model close to examine the linked moon pattern on the tail, then he called out to Shinjo: "Would making this thing movable improve its performance a bit?"

"Show some respect for your own model!" Upon hearing this, Shinjo turned to look at him, eyes full of speechlessness and a hint of anger: "I can just take it and let Chazuo put a curse on you!"

"Chazuo is a good kid; he wouldn't do that," Aomo said frankly, "and moreover, a curse that merely looks alike is hard to hit; at least you need a strand of hair."

Shinjo, upon hearing that, replied in a sinister tone: "I think your hair won't be hard to find~"

"If you want Guinea Pig‑kun's hair, you can ask me! I still have leftover blood from the last draw!" Ailisuzhi even slapped her chest with full confidence.

"That's right, Miss Shihuai Ya; you need to understand that in my office I am the most law‑abiding person, and conversely, they have big problems."

At this moment Aomo lifted his gaze, attempting to confess to the somewhat astonished policewoman the crimes of his roommate.

Meanwhile, beside her, the Ace Killer Girl was still fiddling with the monster cards in her hand, her intensely focused look somewhat resembling Aomo's earlier demeanor.

"I can tell you all have special skills," Shihuai Ya said, half‑laughing, half‑crying, as if recalling the various bizarre reports she'd received while still at the Dragon Gate Guard Bureau.

However, to be frank, spending those few days at Rhodes Island Company also had a similar effect.

For example, Miss Ailisuzhi probably gets along well with the two odd doctors A and Wah Falin, while Miss Shinjo Akane's situation… Shihuai Ya couldn't for the moment think of a character matching her temperament.

After all, although her conversation with Mr. Lindon was dangerous and chilling, it also retained a hint of joking tone, and since she wasn't yet familiar with those two, she couldn't easily judge.

One simply cannot use what one has learned in investigations to speculate about one's companions.

——Mr. Lindon, who would use his own summaries to speculate about anyone he'd met, suddenly felt an unwarranted sense of guilt.

Then the other's next sentence made him unable to bother with that unwarranted subtle emotion.

Shihuai Ya fell silent for a few seconds, then put her hands on her hips and laughed: "But where we're from there's a saying that even an honest official can't settle household matters, so I won't get involved in this."

"…Calling it household affairs might be a bit of an overstatement, but…" Aomo glanced at the screen in Shihuai Ya's hand, the silhouette faintly visible in the firelight prompting him to call out to the girl beside him: "Miss Killer, won't you take care of that?"

"The ultra‑combined monster King Ghidorah, too, is quite a formidable opponent."

The cosmic emperor Zeus used the fusion of drifting monster evil spirits in the universe to create this super monster, which is the final boss of the Ultraman Taro movie.

Although there are also a few same‑named monsters that appear in later works, with fluctuating combat power, they ultimately remain a dangerous presence.

And as the event's guide and mascot, the Ace Killer Girl also serves as an enforcer, so she certainly shouldn't turn a blind eye to this situation.

But she indeed said:

"No need, the boss said that incidents at Jetton Nebula Media Company don't need to be handled; they have the capability to settle them."

Recalling that, the boss had still been gritting his teeth back then, while the Ace Killer Girl couldn't reproduce that feeling.

none.

Aomo, Ailisuzhi: matches parentheses.

Xin Tiao: plausible.

It made the witch beast, which had been ready to strike, freeze for a moment, while she herself brightened at the sight of the opponent's special transformation device.

"Although this exhibition hall doesn't have especially strong security, it is filled everywhere with powerful weapons and tourists."

Aomo, JunChuan JiangSheng, Wei Guang: matches parentheses and note.

Ask if this kid often skips school or something.

In the intelligence Aomo had gathered in the past, there was no record of the opponent occasionally leaving school to save the world (x).

But even so, as that shadow kept approaching, he still had to ask: "But shouldn't we still deal with the situation where such a monster gets knocked flying and crashes toward us?"

That shadow was still in the high sky, yet it traced an arc due to the normal gravity inside that extradimensional space.

Aomo, JiaLa TeLong: we decided. Could also be Aomo, JiaLaTeLong? But we used JiaLa TeLong (two words). Let's see if we should capitalize each syllable within each word: JiaLa (Jia La) => JiaLa (J capital, i a, L capital, a). TeLong (Te Long) => TeLong (T capital, e, L capital, o n g). So JiaLa TeLong is correct.

At the very moment his words fell, a gust of wind swept up everyone's clothing and hairstyles, while Aomo lowered his head and glanced at the monster card lying in his palm.

He turned his head again to look at the speeding orange‑yellow meteor.

"Really unexpected..." he sighed: We used double quotes and ellipsis three dots. The original had Chinese quotation marks and ellipsis. We used English quotes and ellipsis. That's fine.

Originally, after hearing the self‑account of the Ace Killer Daughter, I felt that this batch of monster girls from the Abo Monster Company were a more degraded existence than the original work's combat power, and the difference from actual monsters' combat power should be even more obvious.

But seeing the instantaneous burst just now, and the blade staff that appeared to be formed from an Ultra Bracelet in the opponent's hand, I seem to have underestimated them somewhat.

"Rushing out without a word—hardly just an accident!" Her hairstyle, which had taken great effort to arrange into long curls, was now completely messed up by the gust of wind, leaving Shi Huaiya almost in tears, saying, "I'm telling you, attacks are happening everywhere now! Has that guy made any move yet?"

"..." Aomo silently glanced at his terminal screen; the communication with the merchant had remained unchanged from several dozen minutes ago, making him about to shake his head, but then he also saw the communication flicker.

It caused him to raise his hand, swipe and tap the public‑mode screen button, to show her the words on it.

Shi HuaiYa: we gave surname Shi, given name HuaiYa (two syllables capitalized). Could also be Shi Huai Ya? But we chose one word for given name. Let's see if any other three-char name example: Not given. We'll keep as is.

Lin Dun, GuLanTe Wang: Lin Dun (two-char name => two words). GuLanTe Wang: GuLanTe (three syllables) => GuLanTe (G u L a n T e). Wang => Wang. Good.

"It seems he really learned his lesson; the whole person has become much more cautious." Aomo said with a smile.

"Moreover, it seems those attacks really have nothing to do with him." Shi Huaiya frowned.

"Just like people influenced by the first monster craze, while they yearn for monsters, they are also venting their negative emotions." Aomo said, explaining something that Shi Huaiya found completely unfamiliar from the basis of the topic, then he shrugged.

Shi HuaiYa: same.

Shi HuaiYa: same.

Aomo, Ai Si Sha Shou Niang, Ai LeiWang: We need to check if we should have commas and spaces correctly. We have: Aomo, Ai Si Sha Shou Niang, Ai LeiWang.

"By the way, Xin Tiao, with this opportunity, can you show me that surprise?"

none.

Xin Tiao Qian

Under the dark‑yellow glasses with cracks, her cherry‑purple eyes were full of enthusiasm and joy for a big fight.

"Then, INSTANCE (instantiation) Awakening (awakening)!!"

Yuan Gu Ying Er

【97】

At the same time, influenced by the TV shows Ultraman Q and Ultraman, targeting children who watch special‑effects TV programs, a social phenomenon of continuously producing huge 'monsters' began to erupt.

(empty)

For monster fans like Aomo and Xin Tiao, such days are like key points to memorize from history books; even if there are discrepancies between their respective worlds, they must record using the integrated knowledge of the masses as the standard.

But to others, it was obviously meaningless.
