Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 194 Photos of Ace being tortured

Lin Yu was starting to lose his composure.

He, someone who can travel through time at will, actually stumbled on a very basic question about the historical context.

Who can stand this? I'm not Doraemon. In his eyes, all eras seem to look the same. Why would he bother to remember the year and era?

Lin Yu glanced at the "real" bill that Beidou Xingsi had already put into his drawer, then looked at the heavy bag of bread in his hand, feeling so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes through the soles of his shoes.

"That, uncle."

He chuckled awkwardly and pushed the bread and change back, saying, "Maybe I shouldn't buy it. I'll think of something else."

His first thought was to get out of there as soon as possible, find a secluded alley, and see if any clueless street thugs would randomly spawn.

Perfect timing, I'm also short of start-up capital, so I'll just consider it doing a public service and extract some gold coins from those mobile red envelopes.

"stop."

Hokuto Seisakusho grabbed his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be new here and broke."

He looked Lin Yu up and down, his eyes filled with the concern of an elder.

"You can't just eat bread. You're a foreigner, are you all alone here?"

"Uh, I also have a younger sister," Lin Yu answered instinctively.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanase Risa, who had been waiting outside the door, ran in with a smile and looked around the shop with curiosity.

"Big brother, it smells so good!"

"Oh, what a lovely little girl!"

When Hokuto Seiji saw Nanase Risa, the lines on his face softened instantly, and the sternness in his eyes turned into tenderness.

He picked up a freshly baked melon bun, handed it to him, and smiled kindly.

Here, have some.

Then, he turned his head, his stern gaze falling once again on Lin Yu, this "unreliable" adult.

"You, come with me."

Lin Yu was confused and was pulled to the back of the shop by Beidou Xingsi.

"You kid!"

Hokuto Seiji lowered his voice, but the reprimand in his tone remained undiminished, "You're taking care of such a young sister, and you still dare to use counterfeit money? Don't you know that using counterfeit currency is a serious crime in Japan? What will happen to your sister if you get arrested!"

Faced with the righteous sermon of Ultraman Ace's human form, Lin Yu was immediately drenched in sweat.

This feeling was even worse than being whipped by Gatanothor's tentacles.

It would be better to fight Gatanothor.

"No, sir, I..."

Lin Yu had no words to express his bitterness, so he could only tell the truth, "It seems like all I have is this kind of money. And it seems like I... can't go back."

He meant it sincerely; he really couldn't go back for the time being.

Hokuto Seisi was taken aback upon hearing this, and then frowned.

He looked at Lin Yu's genuinely troubled expression, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed heavily.

"In that case, you two siblings can stay at my shop for the time being."

He patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "Perfect timing. My shop is short-handed. You can help me prepare the goods every morning and evening and lend a hand. Of course, if you're willing to learn, I can take you on as an apprentice."

"As for the salary, 150,000 yen a month is a bit low."

Hokuto Seiji said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, I'll cover your meals and accommodation. Your breakfast and late-night snacks will be on me. You can leave anytime once you've saved up enough money."

He paused, then added, "Or, if you're hardworking and diligent, you can become a full-time technical staff member after two years of training. I'll then teach you the real bread-making techniques. I see your Japanese is fluent, so you should be able to pick it up quickly. You kid, you didn't run away from home, did you?" Lin Yu and Nanase Risa, who had peeked out, exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

What else could he say?

Not only did they not hold him accountable for using counterfeit money, they also provided him with a job and accommodation.

This person is practically a living Bodhisattva.

Lin Yu smiled helplessly and bowed to the Big Dipper Star Master.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, store manager."

"Hahaha, good!" Hokuto Seisi laughed heartily and patted him hard on the back.

Lin Yu was secretly overjoyed.

What is it like to be an apprentice in Ultraman Ace's bakery?
This life of slacking off seems to be more exciting than he imagined.

Lin Yu turned his head and glanced at the girl in the white dress who was quietly following behind Nanase Risa.

He noticed that Hokuto Seiji, who was in the bakery, seemed completely oblivious to her presence.

Not only him, but even the passersby on the street ignored her.

"As a world consciousness, it's really embarrassing," Lin Yu thought to himself.

He withdrew his gaze and gave Hokuto Seiji a spirited smile: "Manager, can I start work now?"

Hokuto Seiji was taken aback by his sudden enthusiasm, then burst into laughter: "Good, good, good, what an energetic young man! In that case, come in."

He pointed to the inner room: "Go change your clothes first. This is where we prepare delicious food, so it can't be dirty. We must maintain the highest level of cleanliness."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Nanase Risa, who was curiously looking around, and he smiled with some difficulty: "However, as for your sister... haha, I don't have any peers here to play with her."

"She's very well-behaved and obedient." Lin Yu smiled and patted Nanase Risa's head.

The little girl immediately understood, puffed out her chest, and nodded heavily to Beidou Xingsi with a serious expression.

"Oh right, I still don't know your names." Hokuto Seiji suddenly remembered.

"My name is Lin Yu, and this is my younger sister, Nanase Risa."

"Lin Yu?"

Hokuto Seiji clicked his tongue, a hint of surprise on his face. "It's actually the name of the University of Tokyo? That's really impressive. Your Japanese is so fluent. I thought you were a local."

He looked at Nanase Risa and sighed, "Your sister is named Nanase Risa, how strange. I understand you modern people less and less."

Lin Yu's slacking-off life thus abruptly and officially began.

He changed into a pristine white baker's uniform, looking clean and sharp.

Risa Nanase followed suit and found a size smaller, but it still looked a bit too big on her. The sleeves were so long that they covered her hands, making her look like a little kid who had stolen an adult's clothes. Her cute appearance made both her and Lin Yu laugh.

Just then, the bakery door was pushed open, and a charming woman who looked to be in her forties walked in, followed by a young girl—their daughter.

"Yuko, you're here." Hokuto Seiji greeted her with a smile.

Nan Xizi, Beidou Xingji's wife.

In the Super 8 world, they have already achieved their goal.

Good, good, good. If Hokuto from the Land of Light knew this, he would be so envious. After all, in the original TV series, Minami Yuko suddenly became a moon person and left. Their next meeting was thirty years later in episode 44 of the Mebius TV series, but the two had already missed each other forever.

But now, this regret has been fulfilled in the parallel world of Beidou. Lin Yu thought for a moment, then secretly took out his GUTS communicator and quietly took a group photo of the three of them.

Hehe, I'll use this to torture Ace later!
Hopefully, the meat processing plant director won't dismember me with a lightsaw.

Lin Yu's mind was filled with thoughts of causing trouble.
