NO. 117: Just a hassle, not really a hassle!

【Start an experiment: Do you feel this thing is weird?】

【Yuehuanshe: I've thought about it, but still no evidence】

【Start an experiment: Really? Xijun and I also have this feeling, but we still have no evidence. As for you, how did you find that mosquito-coil face? Do you find him more suspicious?】

【Yuehuanshe: I really guessed he was hiding something, judging from some details that he should have been more repressed and tense lately, but... who could have thought the first prey would burst out such exaggerated information】

【Start an experiment: Moreover, the transaction time and place happen to be at Zs City Horse Racing Track, right? That's the venue of the self-abusing guinea pig competition】

【Yuehuanshe: You should try correcting your address】

【Start an experiment: Wasn't it corrected in the bar? Like Zhiji and such】

【Yuehuanshe: How about also changing the written form of address?】

【Start an experiment: No, unless you're willing to pay some price】

【Yuehuanshe: Are you the demon or am I the demon?】

【Start an experiment: Then what about the contract, guinea pig?】

【Yuehuanshe: I refuse】

【Start an experiment: Tsk tsk, it seems the status of the self-abusing guinea pig isn't enough yet】

【Yuehuanshe: Done】

Suspicious... If speaking of suspicious aspects...... recalling the gaze felt at the entrance of Data City not long ago, Aomo wasn't too sure either.

After all, it was just a gaze.

If it were Aomo himself walking down the road, suddenly seeing a guy who had transformed into an Ultraman, bringing along a guy who had transformed into a demon, walking into the data tower of the Light Kingdom Office, he would also attract the same gaze.

Everyone has curiosity, let alone that combination itself being so eye-catching.

Just like this person before us.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Like fire, the vermilion lower body color; like ice, the immersed upper body pattern, with silver chest armor; the eye crystals that gaze at others are imposing without anger; the pair of sharp arrowheads on the head like ears make the whole face sharp-edged.

The eldest of the new generation, and also the man most often borrowed from the new generation, beloved by teenagers, UltramanZero/Sai Luo Ultraman—at first glance he doesn't look like a good person; just his appearance makes it hard not to notice him.

"No, just wondering how you will conduct yourself in human society."

Of course, even an Ultraman with such a 'fierce gaze' is not the most conspicuous.

Obviously the most conspicuous is the guy standing beside him, the brother who bows and greets Philiss.

His whole body is composed of red, white, and black; the eye crystals resemble butterfly wings, looking pretty up close, but at first glance he looks like a troublemaker youth, yet he is the most filial of the new generation in every sense.

UltramanGeed/Jie De Ultraman also has the human name Chao Cang Lu, by the way, he is Belial's son—although genetically he is closer to a clone of Belial.

Actually his initial form isn't really 'not looking like a good person', but he currently uses the original form, namely the posture resulting from the fusion of the first generation's and Belial's power, as his online avatar—just looking at it makes Aomo restless.

Want to pull out a secret key to give him a shot.

Controlling this impulse isn't hard either—just being stared at by Sai Luo does the trick—compared to Jie De, whose appearance looks like a delinquent but whose core is a good kid, a 'shonen jump protagonist'.

Sai Luo, however, is a genuine delinquent; although he went to a juvenile detention center and later became a senior, his temper improved a lot, but once he gets serious, that dangerous aura between wildness and ruffian still shows.

Although it can't scare Aomo, at least it can make him realize he should restrain himself.

Although the Light Kingdom Office and Hong Kai are casual and tolerant toward their own darkness, not all Ultramen are like that.

At least Sai Luo, as soon as he appears, keeps a tight watch on him; although the gaze isn't malicious, being looked at by those eyes makes it hard not to feel stared at.

However, upon further thought, it could also be that the other party overreacts upon hearing Belial's name.

That's actually quite normal, after all, if Belial had to pick an arch-enemy in his life, it would probably not be Ultraman Father, but this eldest of the new generation.

Likewise the other way around, although their seniority differs greatly, Sai Luo's arch-enemy is definitely Belial.

Thus, when Philiss's message reached the Light Kingdom, the elders first summoned Jie De as Belial's son, and then Sai Luo, who came uninvited.

He came insisting, but he is indeed a reliable choice, and he has a considerable friendship with Jie De (meaning he occupies most of others' TV time, basically the Sai Luo saga), so all the Ultraman elders, including his father, have no objection, just telling him to be careful.

After all, Sai Luo's dark history is also not insignificant.

Like performing a black hole storm or something…… mysteriously dropping a chain or something; from a work perspective, it's seniors giving juniors space to shine, but in reality——this is for seniors to point fingers at you.

Although they won't criticize his abilities, they will at least advise him to pay more attention.

Moreover, this is the universe heading to another world.

So……

"No need to worry about this," Sai Luo casually said, "transforming into residents of other planets also counts as a required course for remote exploration."

"What? Your required course isn't merging with Earthlings?"

"I see." Aomo gave a slight nod.

The sense of distance at first meeting made him not initiate conversation, just thinking that Sai Luo Ultraman's human form in some shows—seems like the voice actor himself appearing.

He also didn't know if it was the same now…… thinking that, he turned his face toward Jie De and Philiss, as their conversation was ending just then, both turned to look over at the demon-like Aomo.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Aomo, sorry I might trouble you a bit next." The first to speak was Philiss, who approached together with Jie De.

"Mr. Lindun, please guide me."

Although we had already greeted and introduced ourselves at first sight, now Jie De Ultraman coming again inevitably makes the demon a bit puzzled.

"What specifically?"

"After all, we have no branch in the Boundary Gate District; although we can provide activity funds, the temporary lodging has to be found by ourselves."

But you Ultramen aren't slow at traveling back and forth…… Aomo, having pressed his thoughts, heard: "Do you mean I should make recommendations?"

"The investigation will also be led by you, with Jie De and Sai Luo assisting you."

"?" Aomo was stunned upon hearing that.

"I thought I was the assistant."

"Regarding this, Jie De and Sai Luo have no actual investigation experience."

However, I can sense my father's strength, and Senior Sai Luo is roughly the same.

It's just a matter of sensing the aura, and we're not familiar with the area either, so we'll have to trouble you a bit.

Sai Luo also stepped forward; being able to say the word 'trouble' is basically a direct friendly gesture, and yielding the investigative lead is a wise choice that leaves Aomo astonished.

But this cannot silence Aomo's trouble-radar beeping.

How come I have to bring two outsider Aos to do detective work?

Although… it still seems pretty cool…… No, not knowing anything is too troublesome……

But we can't just leave them be… even the frontier lighthouse can analyze Beta technology… even if it's Ultraman, recklessly charging in like a hothead isn't good either.

"Of course, we will also draw up a service contract for you," Feilisi said, adapting well to the social atmosphere of Heaven Gate City, "We are currently considering setting it as Class A; besides the basic monetary compensation, we will also provide corresponding technical assistance."

"Then we must not delay; we cannot allow the artificial Belial to be used as a commodity for sale."

"Oh, that's not bad." Sai Luo nodded.

"Exactly! Mr. Aomo." Jie De was deeply moved.
