Chapter 31

If you tear down the house, you won't need the Zhang family anymore.

The camera cuts back to a corner of an abandoned construction site on the other side of the city.

Hiroshi Kashimada, Wataru Kosugi, and Kohei Nakahara were squatting beside the pile of rubble, still clutching the crimson sphere tightly in their hands.

Having just witnessed Reijubas descend from the sky, Hiroshi Kashimada, a seasoned monster fan, was initially trembling with excitement and almost shouted out the monster's name on the spot. However, this fervor didn't last long before his excitement was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Reciubas didn't wreak havoc on the open ground at all; instead, he turned around and charged straight toward the residential area.

Hiroshi Kashimada's face turned pale instantly.

He suddenly realized that his home was in that residential area.

He had just casually complained that he "didn't want to go home," but he didn't expect the red ball to actually summon the monster, which went straight to his house, intending to "destroy" this troublesome place for him.

"This...this is too extreme..." He couldn't help but shiver, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He quickly gripped the red ball tightly and shouted, "Don't go! Make the monster disappear! I don't want to go home!"

Before he could even utter a word, the red ball in his palm suddenly burst forth with a blinding red light, and a strange power drilled into his brain from his palm, instantly freezing his entire body.

  

Just as Kosuke Kou and Kohei Nakahara were about to ask, "Brother Hao, what should we do?", they were also drawn by the red light, their eyes gradually becoming vacant, and their heads uncontrollably drooping down.

The three people stood silently around the red ball, as if their souls had been bewitched by something.

After a long while, Hiroshi Kashimada slowly raised his head. The panic in his eyes had long been suppressed by the malice bewitched by the red ball, and instead, a twisted smile appeared on his face.

"How about we destroy the school while we're at it?" he said softly, his voice carrying a chilling quality he himself didn't even realize.

Kosugi Wataru and Nakahara Kohei also looked up, their eyes no longer filled with the panic they had before, but with magnified malice.

Just as they were about to make a wish, a silver-red beam of light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

The evil Ultraman Sirius has appeared.

Upon seeing the figure, Hiroshi Kashimada clicked his tongue in annoyance, his tone full of resentment: "What? The evil Ultraman has actually come."

Xiao Shan, who was standing nearby, rolled his eyes and suggested, "Brother Hao, how about we stop summoning the monster for now? Let's go back and find a stronger monster, take down this Ultraman first, and then destroy the school!"

Hiroshi Kashimada's eyes lit up; he felt that what he said made perfect sense.

He clenched the red ball tightly in his hand, no longer glancing at the battlefield, and turned to walk towards the alley in the distance: "Let's go back first! Next time, I must summon a monster that can directly defeat Ultraman!"

Two henchmen immediately followed, and the three of them, carrying the red ball that emitted a red glow, disappeared silently into the depths of the alley, leaving only Sirius still fighting Reijubas.

The scene shifts back to the abandoned warehouse.

Yun Yu had already taken a nap, and the burning pain in her chest had eased considerably. She was sitting on the ground, taking big bites of the bread that Xiao Mian and Heijian You had brought from home.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have almost fainted from hunger." He thanked the two children indistinctly while wolfing down his food.

Kotsuya and Hirama Yu squatted opposite him, staring at him curiously with eyes full of excitement.

"Big brother, does Ultraman glow when he sleeps?" Xiao Mian couldn't help but ask.

Yun Yu paused in her bite of bread, then looked up with a puzzled expression: "Am I glowing while I sleep?"

Komen, Risa, and Hirama Yu all nodded vigorously.

Yun Yu then realized why her injuries healed so quickly; it turned out she had been glowing while she was asleep.

It's obvious without even thinking that the Syrus compass on his neck was secretly healing him.

He raised his hand, took off the necklace from his neck, placed the pendant in his palm, and handed it to Xiao Mian: "It's because of this, Sirius is healing my wounds."

"So the Ultraman you transformed into is called Sirius! What a cool name!" Xiao Mian's eyes lit up instantly, his face full of admiration, after all, he was a veteran Ultraman fan.

Being so openly admired by the child, Yun Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud. She secretly touched her nose and patiently explained, "Sirius is Sirius, which represents light and protection. It is the brightest star in the night sky."

He learned this phrase from a video by a content creator, and now he's showing it off in front of the kids.

Seeing the two children's bright eyes, he happily put on the necklace, then lowered his head to continue eating his bread, quickly finishing the rest.

After filling his stomach, he looked at Risa beside him and said, "Then you watch over them for me, I'm going to find the red ball."

Risa nodded slightly, indicating that she would keep an eye on them.

But Komen and Hirama Yu immediately objected, vying to say they could help as well.

Yun Yu didn't refuse directly. Instead, she squatted down to be at eye level with the two children and said in a serious yet gentle tone, "Xiao Mian, I know you want to help me, and I admire your courage."

He paused, then continued, "You helped me find clothes so I could rest properly, and you even brought me food. I already owe you a lot of favors. My task is to find the red ball, but I have an even greater obligation to protect you. If you get injured while helping me find the red ball, I will feel very guilty."

So this time, please let me protect you properly, okay?

After hearing Yun Yu's words, Xiao Mian was not disappointed by the rejection. Instead, her cheeks flushed slightly because of the sincere gratitude, and she scratched her head a little shyly.

"I understand... I'll take good care of myself and won't cause you any trouble!" he said softly, but his tone revealed a firm sense of being trusted.

Yun Yu looked at him and couldn't help but smile. She raised her hand and gently rubbed Xiao Mian and Heijian You's hair. Her gaze swept over Risa, who was watching the scene in front of her, and a faint smile quietly appeared on her lips.

"Do you want to be touched too?" Yun Yu asked softly, deliberately.

Risa was suddenly stunned, the smile in her eyes instantly froze, and she seemed to be paused. In that moment of stunned silence, Yun Yu's hand gently landed on her head, and he gently rubbed her hair.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys. Remember to let me know if you have any leads!"

After saying that, Yun Yu stood up, waved to the three of them, turned around and walked out of the abandoned warehouse. He jogged a few steps, his figure gradually blending into the shadows of the alley, and soon disappeared from the three of them's sight.

In the warehouse, Risa raised her hand to touch her ruffled hair, her ear tips turning slightly red. Tsutomu and Hirama Yu exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
