NO. 134: Laughing my ass off, I only attended a cram school in the Light Country.

It's really strange— a whole day has passed and there's not a word about Sai Luo and Jie De.

Could they have gotten lost?

Lost? Those Ultramen finding Earth should be instinctive!

Cut the jokes— seriously, with Earth's forces this strong in this world, it's impossible for them to get lost. Several star clusters are under the Star Alliance, and the Star Alliance is led by the Terra Federation… Could they have noticed something?

Noticed? How? Who doesn't know that Ultraman Jie De is scouring the world for his father's fragments, and who doesn't know that Ultraman Sai Luo is arrogant and reckless?

I also don't think they'd just sit and wait— they're not idiots, and there's no reason for them to hide information, and the Terra Federation's policies wouldn't impose any restrictions on those Ultramen.

So what is this now? Could the initial report have been wrong? Maybe those two never showed up at all.

We should verify whether the intel about Heaven's Gate City is accurate, and we can't just consider this one risk— I heard a branch in the Border Gate District was also attacked by monsters.

Monsters?

Yes, the Aomo people's monster detector picked up four monster signals, but only two actually appeared: MechaGomora and Legionoid.

Reginald? That isn't—

The mechanical soldiers Kaiser Belial made from Emerana ore— after Kaiser Belial's defeat, many of them indeed ended up scattered across other dimensions.

Hahaha, did that Hei'an Gona guy get beaten by his own subordinates less than a month after being revived?

Although both are mechanical troops, if there are still two additional monster signals… it should be Leonix, right?

Hard to say— that branch isn't equipped with a combat gauge detector, but speaking of combat gauges… Jie De has the Crimson Steel Combat Gauge, right?

I haven't heard that kid collects monsters like his father does.

Leaving that aside, doesn't the Border Gate District have a long-term stationed monster tamer?

You mean Aomo Lindun? I haven't heard he has those two mechanical monsters, but Commander Blake's subordinates do have several Reginalds.

Losers have nothing to say— everything got swallowed up by the Federation, but if it were the Federal Police, they wouldn't act so covertly. According to the report, the three women who caused the initial disturbance were from Penguin Logistics.

Isn't that still Aomo Lindun? That guy works at Penguin Logistics, right?

Although I also dislike that Aomo Lindun guy, isn't Penguin Logistics just a logistics conglomerate that stirs up trouble everywhere? This report even mentions Horse Girls… ah… once the Border Gate District involves Horse Girls, the motive gets complicated.

Send someone to investigate— whether it's Penguin Logistics' movements or Aomo Lindun's recent situation. Also check the distribution of Leonix and make direct contact with that guy.

——

Huh? Lindon-san wants to be apart from us for three days, using only psychic contact? Why?

Chao Cang Lu, who was holding a street snack and about to take a bite, froze upon hearing that.

At that moment he recalled that Lindon-san had left in a hurry earlier with New Universe and Xiao Lin Li Qi… He had originally planned to have dinner with everyone later, but it turned into Sai Luo going out for drinks with James, leaving him alone to eat with Miyu.

Then he encountered the Pega communication that had passed through mid-air traffic control, entered the Border Gate District's airspace, and the signal improved.

... There's a lot to explain, but thanks to Pega joining, the dining atmosphere between him and Miyu is no longer so stiff.

Because of those three assistants earlier," Sai Luo bluntly chewed his food, reflecting on his uncle Taro's words that were spot-on— skewers really are great— "Didn't I tell you before? When I was guiding Miyu, Lindon and I went to the Baltan Alien's lair.

Oh right! But didn't you say you'd taken care of it then? Is it because of that threat?" Chao Cang Lu recalled the recent conversation, then his thoughts turned to the threat against the Horse Girls— that Baltan Alien, to promote his subordinates' Horse Girls, planned to threaten and intimidate several competitors and their trainers in the next race, including Miyu and James.

But for the two Ultramen and the monster tamer, this was utterly a laughable conspiracy upon hearing it.

For the two Ultramen, being unfamiliar with this place, they could rely on their own abilities and strength to eliminate the threat; whereas for the monster tamer familiar with this place…

'There are many ways to manipulate a race— sticking one's hand in is the lowest method… but that's fine, I can handle it too.'

When that person said this, the vertical slit in their dark red eyes opened and closed like breathing, making the two Ultramen feel a bit uneasy.

Unease about that Baltan Alien.

Of course not," Sai Luo shook his head, casually tossed the wooden skewer from his hand into a passing trash can, then picked up another skewer from the paper bag, "That sort of thing is easily handled, but Lindon seems to constantly feel we're being targeted.

Huh?

Isn't that obvious?" Sai Luo swayed his skewer past the night lights, "He's had us watch our profile, and earlier actions told me not to intervene directly— whether I act or summon monsters— that doesn't match the trait Oubu mentioned of 'personally going into battle'.

He's probably trying to hide our presence.

Ah, that's it!

What do you mean 'that's how it is'? You brat, you're not thinking about this side at all!" Sai Luo, somewhat annoyed, looked at Jie De as if seeing Zeta, then lowered his gaze to Jie De's shadow, "You need to keep an eye on this kid, Pega.

Sure!" From the shadow emerged a black head like a hammerhead shark, two big eyes and a raised black-gloved hand gave a salute, "I came out of Nebula Manor just for this!

Ugh…" Chao Cang Lu scratched his head embarrassedly, as if those two were saying he doesn't use his brain.

You wouldn't say you're not paying attention because you trust us, would you?

""

You really trust Lindon that much?" After quickly finishing the snack, tidying the bamboo skewer and tossing it to the street-cleaning robot, Sai Luo wiped his hands, looked at Chao Cang Lu's stiff expression, and shook his head helplessly.

You kid, your alertness is off by twenty thousand years," he swiped his thumb across his mouth, "but then again, you're pretty suited for it— trainer stuff and all.

Trainers aren't supposed to be like that…" Xiao Lu said, somewhat resigned.

Of course, Lindon guy is also a trainer, just a different type from you.

No matter how he tried, Chao Cang Lu was left speechless.

After all, whenever he saw Miyu he thought of himself, naturally wanting to pull her out of the mire, handing over everything else to the senior he trusted and the newly acquainted, reliable junior— this junior felt as mature as his senior.

But staying silent won't do; he thought it over and realized the most he could do now was steer the conversation, also making up for his own inaction.

So what should you do in reverse?" Xiao Lu asked.

Renewed focus on the case about his father— that's the compensation he ought to make.

If Sai Luo has any plans, he should also weigh whether to join in.

But the result……

What do you do? No need— why bother opposing Lindon?" Sai Luo gave him a subtle look; that face, very familiar to him, showed that expression, which was a kind of sharp sarcasm.

Although he has this inexplicable affinity that makes you trust him so much, he's indeed the guy Oubu praised— though overly cautious, he's genuinely busy with his whole heart, to the point I can barely keep up.

Sai Luo shook his head: 'If I didn't know his background was genuine, I'd almost suspect he's your brother— Belial would never have another son this outstanding.'

……Again? Such praise made Xiao Lu scratch his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Then, being glanced at by the other party, they said somewhat amusedly.

"What are you embarrassed about? Hurry up and go back, we need to check information all night."

"Check information?"

"Of course, with Lindon's level of action, even if he's cautious it'll be quick, but we can't rely entirely on him; let's make good use of the Earth's internet when we go back."

He said, his smile suddenly turning malicious.

"And you, not only do you have to check information with me, but you also promised to learn about that horse girl's knowledge from that person, right?"

"By the way, how long has it been since you last went to school?"
