Get rid of that flower! Get rid of it now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave no reason, acting as if possessed, demanding the flower be discarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming guessed he’d spent too much time with Sei Star Group and had been mentally warped—his communication skills were poor, even unable to tell a harmless lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the white girl beside Hōgen at the time was equally bizarre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She protected Umeda Fragrance, who wanted to keep the flower, and held back Hōgen as he tried to forcibly take it away, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could such a beautiful, fragrant flower be dangerous? Hōgen, you’re so unromantic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Girls love flowers—they can instinctively sense whether a flower is poisonous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe a person who lacks the gentleness to appreciate roadside flowers is strong for nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming had been utterly baffled watching this scene, frustrated by their intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming stepped forward, crouching before Umeda Fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feigned surprise: “I’ve seen this flower in books—it’s deadly poisonous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Fragrance: “How could such a beautiful flower be poisonous? I want to put it in front of my parents’ photos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo also said: “The more vivid the flower, the more likely it is poisonous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Hōgen’s white girl back then, Nami Nishijo beside Qi Ming now seemed perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming patted Umeda Fragrance’s head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you learn knowledge from your teachers here, you’ll be able to tell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re amazing, Fragrance—you found a poisonous flower and kept everyone safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a role model—I’ll make sure the director and teachers praise you properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Umeda Fragrance’s face lit up instantly: “Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Ming smiled gently: “Of course it’s true.

Lately, I’ve had no choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!” A surprised voice came from behind Qi Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and saw two familiar figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zara and Lucía—the pair previously hunted by the Mokushin aliens—were here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gestured with their bodies and used simple words to warn Qi Ming the flower was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re about to handle it,” Qi Ming nodded, tossing the flower into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami Nishijo raised her Victory Hyper Gun, fired, and incinerated it with a laser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster Kendoros, once deprived of its weapon, was so weak Sei Star Group believed even MAC could destroy it before it fused with the flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it dares appear again, even without transforming, Victory Team could easily eliminate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resolving this threat, Qi Ming began communicating with Zara and Lucía.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though difficult, Qi Ming and Nami Nishijo grasped the gist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Kōtō, the strategist, promised Qi Ming he’d look after them, he outsourced the task to Tongshan, the strategist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tongshan, after thinking it over, placed them in this orphanage under his charity network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They learned Earth’s writing and speech alongside the children, adapted to Earth’s environment, and helped care for the kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their expressions, it was clear they loved being with children—and cherished this free life, free from constant fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s good,” Qi Ming said. “You’re kind people—you deserve the world’s gentleness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke without thought; she heard with meaning—and Nami Nishijo felt something hard to name stir inside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the director returned with the Umeda siblings; Umeda Fragrance held a large bouquet of fragrant flowers, her face beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sister received beautiful flowers to honor her parents; Nami Nishijo’s guilt eased from having paid; Qi Ming had eliminated a major threat ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A world without casualties—achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the orphanage, Qi Ming and Nami Nishijo waved goodbye to everyone and headed home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, another figure arrived at the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The avatar of Boga—tall, pale, long-tongued woman in a white lab coat—arrived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the direction Qi Ming and Nami Nishijo had driven off in, then at the orphanage, her eyes cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, as if realizing something, she whirled around to face behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There stood a man with a stern expression and icy gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Aihara Ryū were here, he’d shout in shock: “Captain Serizawa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the identity of this man was clear from the Knight's aura emanating from his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Ultraman Hikari, possessing the corpse of Serizawa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he lived on the beautiful planet Abir, conducting research—but Boga, while he was away, exterminated every living thing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consumed by hatred, Hikari donned the Armor of Vengeance, renamed himself “Hunter Knight Sword,” and vowed to destroy Boga at any cost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sword…” Boga stared at the man, voice low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Hikari drew the Knight's aura from his right wrist—a brilliant little blade flashed free, slashing toward Boga, its aura sharp and dazzling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boga refused to yield, countering with psychic force—a fierce, evenly matched battle erupted outside the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have many days left,” Boga finally said, then vanished using teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days left until release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five updates daily then—day one, Qi Ming kicks Hikari; day two, Qi Ming fights Agul.
