Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Baolucao piled all the meat skewers on top and finally had time to start looking for her special product—vegetable juice meatballs filled with natto filling. She begged Qixia to make them fresh, as they were nutritious and healthy. Natto was everything, and everything was for natto!

He picked up a skewer that was pale green and slightly charred on the outside. When he bit into it, he found it to be smooth and chewy, with a filling inside that was as soft and fluffy as velvet: "Hmm? What's this?"

Qi Xia glanced at it: "Matcha rice cake with red bean paste, huh?"

She picked out a skewer from the pile and handed it to him: "This is your natto filling. The vegetable juice balls are a darker color than the matcha ones. And there's another skewer I remember..."

corner.

Aiba Yu silently covered his mouth.

Chapter 107 The Four at the Amusement Park

Qian Shulian's "cousin" seemed to genuinely care for him like a younger brother, and the next day he came to his temporary residence again with large bags and small packages.

As expected, Kazuki Komon couldn't find him at home. He walked along the tree-lined road for quite a while before finally finding the amusement park where Rei Chiju worked.

Chishu Rei handed a serving of popcorn to a little guest who was barely tall enough to reach the windowsill when he jumped up. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Komon Kazuki clutching two plastic bags.

This time, he took off his uniform and dressed like he was visiting an amusement park.

"Your cousin's here." Tail Takashi took the empty cardboard box from his hand, took over the rest of the work, and filled the fries for the next customer.

Chishu Rei rubbed his hands together and ran out. Komon Kazuki shoved the bags into his hands: "The heavier ones are cakes and yogurt. I didn't know what you liked, so I bought some of everything. If you don't like them, you can share them with others. The lighter ones are some medicines, alcohol swabs, gauze, bandages, and the like."

"What are you doing..." Qian Shulian rarely received gifts, and holding these two heavy bags in his hands made his heart pound.

"Is this 'cousin'? I'm off today, so I thought I'd come and visit." Komon Kazuki finally freed his hands to touch the things tucked in his pocket after unloading the burden he was carrying.

The amulet that Riko gave him.

I had planned to come to the amusement park with Riko a long time ago to gather material for her graduation project. Now, I'm bringing the amulet along, which is like bringing Riko with me.

After chatting for a while, Qian Shulian pulled him back to the snack stall and found him an empty seat.

"You brought so many things to see me, it wouldn't be right for me not to reciprocate. Would you like to try some of the amusement park's special hot drinks and snacks? They're Mr. Needle Nest's recipes, made with carefully selected ingredients, and they're different from what you find elsewhere."

Komon Kazuki took the price list handed to him, glanced at the list, and then at the laughing young man.

“It’s my treat. This side has hot drinks, and the other side has snacks,” Qian Shulian gestured for him to choose whatever he wanted. “Our snow-topped coffee is very popular, and our black tea is made with specially selected high-quality tea leaves. Our hot milk is even better. As for snacks… fries and takoyaki sell well, but Mr. Zhenchao is actually more knowledgeable about waffles. We also have a special Irish coffee with whiskey. If you prefer something milder, you can try our white coffee, which is from Malaysia and has a smoother flavor.”

Chishu Rei spoke incredibly fast, rattling off product descriptions in a rapid-fire stream, clearly having practiced them countless times with customers daily, to the point where she could recite them with her eyes closed. Komon Kazuki was somewhat bewildered by her lengthy presentation, so he followed suit.

He ordered something that looked familiar: "Caramel Macchiato?"

"Hmm, our vanilla ingredients and caramel are top-notch!" Qian Shulian rushed into the house, leaving a clattering noise inside. Through the window, you could see him pouring caramel syrup, the amount of which needed to be carefully measured, into a silver cup.

Ooshiro Takashi watched with a smile as the newcomer enthusiastically made coffee. He turned to check the oven temperature, but suddenly felt a shadow loom over him.

"What would you like, guest?" he asked reflexively.

"Give me some Thousand Trees."

"Huh?" Takashiro looked up at him and saw that he was a guy wearing a hat and with a scruffy beard.

Although he hadn't shaved, he wasn't actually sloppy. He was wearing a hoodie that young people like, but he somehow looked like he was heading straight for middle age.

When Senju Rei heard someone calling him, he looked over Tail Takashi's shoulder and saw a somewhat familiar guy waving at him, also carrying a white plastic bag.

Familiar...it seems to have the scent of light, a warm feeling...

It was the kind person I met that day who claimed to be a human being!

“Sakuma?” Chiki Rei asked.

The other person said "Hey," and handed over the plastic bag: "I've been looking for you for ages, thankfully you didn't miss lunch."

“We had a barbecue last night, and this is the leftovers. It’s not good for your health to eat cake and bread every day, so we brought some over. Qi Xia’s cooking skills are excellent, and her sauces are superb.”

While waiting for the water to boil, Senju Rei came over and opened the bag. Inside, she found two takeout boxes neatly stacked, containing some meatballs and even some nigiri sushi. Surprisingly, there was even a condiment box next to them.

"Ah, the sushi was made this morning. Since we were going to bring food anyway, we might as well make more. Hmm... Nana made it, and I helped her chop the vegetables."

As he was speaking, Xiao Guangren jumped out, sat cross-legged on the windowsill, and waved to him.

"Hi?" Chishu Rei replied in return. Although it was the first time she had met Samuel, the aura of light surrounding him made Chishu Rei immediately guess his identity. The Evolution Trustee in the inner pocket of her coat was slightly warm, as if it were also greeting him.

Anyway, since ordinary people can't see it, Samuel was very comfortable. The sun was shining brightly, and the room smelled of sweets, which made him feel refreshed and happy, as if cotton candy clouds were floating in his heart.

Nexus found a great human host—energetic and young, you can feel his abundant life force just by being near him…

Is it withering away?

By the way, Jun Sakuma told him about the son of Prometheus that he had found in the database before.

Samuel suddenly stood up and floated to the young adaptor's side. His gaze passed through the orange coat and fixed on the evolutionary trustee inside, who looked like a toy.

Didn't you notice his body was breaking down?

The latter flickered slightly.

[You half-baked guy from the Land of Light, you've found another sick human host.]

Evolutionary Trusters: ...

Inside the snack stall, several people were talking in hushed tones. Samuel, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him, drifted around checking on Chishu Rei's life force.

Outside, Kazuki Komon, who had been relatively calm, had frozen in shock. He glanced at Hikaru and quickly looked around to check the reactions of the others. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was looking in his direction and that they all seemed to be ignoring Samuel.

“Mr. Sakuma!” Kazuki Komon called out.

Sakuma Jun then noticed that there was a member of the Night Raid Team sitting behind him.

The amusement park is really lively today.

……

"Here comes your coffee, sir." Chishu Rei delivered the line professionally. Komon Kazuki took the caramel macchiato, and the more he looked at him, the more it seemed like he really had such a "cousin."

Like him, Jun Sakuma also received the "order whatever you want" treatment from Rei Chiju. He ordered a cup of black tea and casually asked if he could get it to go.

"Seriously? You're being treated to a meal and you're even getting takeout?" Takashi Ooshiro chuckled as he took out a takeout bag.

Jun Sakuma had developed a thick skin typical of middle-aged people, which was like a protective armor: "Some people in my family like sweets. I don't eat them myself, so I bring them some."

"Okay, I was just saying I felt bad only giving you a cup of black tea," Qian Shulian leaned closer, "What do you want?"

Jun Sakuma turned to look at Samuel, who was sitting on his shoulder, and moved the price list a little closer to him.

Samuel looked at him: For me?

Jun Sakuma nodded: "If we don't want to stage a magic trick here, we'll go back and eat slowly."

"I'll also bring one for Karin. It should be about right since you all eat sweets." Jun Sakuma said this while looking straight ahead, and Takashi Oshiro thought he was talking to Rei Senju.

With no one watching him, Samuel felt completely at ease. He pointed to the matcha mousse. He remembered the way Karin's eyes sparkled when she ate the matcha red bean paste dumplings last night.

Chishu Rei smiled and went to pack up the leftovers, while Sakuma Jun slowly returned with a cup of red tea and sat down, chatting casually with Komon Kazuki.

Chapter 108 The Atmosphere of Young People

At first, I didn't recognize Sakuma Jun in this appearance, as it was so different from his usual style.

When asked, Jun Sakuma replied, "I just threw it on randomly, so that no one would recognize me. Not bad, right?" He lifted his hat, revealing his short hair that was swept back.

Jun Sakuma himself didn't know what his disguise resembled, but it just didn't look like Jun Sakuma.

Samuel told him, "You won't be arrested," to which he chuckled and replied, "I don't want any trouble."

What Samuel didn't know was that when Junsuke Sakuma was a freshman in college, medium-length hair was all the rage among artists. Young people all had hair that was almost shoulder-length, preferably with a slight curl at the ends, a fluffy top, and bangs swept to the side. The hair had to be clean and neat; greasy hair was unacceptable and would greatly diminish the overall look.

Knowing how to play a musical instrument is even better; the guitar is particularly effective. Carry it to the girls' dormitory, stand downstairs, and with a few brothers, start singing love songs to the girls you like.

If the other person doesn't like you, that's called one-sided kidnapping and being a scoundrel. It only works when you use it on a girl who blushes when she's with you.

For example, Sakura Sakuma, back then she was called Sakura Koike.

Jun Sakuma himself can't play guitar, but his buddy can. His friend asked him to go downstairs and act as a human karaoke machine, standing in the middle and waiting for all the women in the building to peek out. Just when everyone thought he was about to confess his feelings, he shouted:

Happy birthday, my dear cherry blossom!

Confessing one's feelings requires a more romantic and picturesque location; why would Jun Sakuma casually say it in such a hasty place as downstairs in his dormitory?

For such a small occasion, simply saying "Happy Birthday" is enough.

Now Jun Sakuma is wearing a hoodie that young people like again, but the beer he used to drink with his buddies on the table is no longer the one he used to drink with.

The cherry blossoms are gone, but a young boy has appeared beside me, along with an even younger young boy.

Samuel, however, really enjoyed the warmth of the black tea and even dozed off while leaning against it.

The two young boys were each holding their own food, enjoying a leisurely moment.

Senju Rei was very curious about Samuel's condition. Being able to communicate easily with the Ultra Warriors was a novel experience, and he hoped that the Evolution Trusters could also become like this, and that the silent giants he encountered in the ruins would one day respond to him in this way.

"Where do you go to university?" Jun Sakuma asked. He was always very accurate at judging people's ages, a skill honed over many years in the police force.

Qian Shulian took a sip of warm milk: "I won't tell you."

"So you're in university now," Jun Sakuma said with a smile after getting the information out of him. "What's your major?" If it's related, he was thinking of introducing him to Shinzo Negi's newspaper when he was about to graduate. With the current economic situation, jobs are hard to find. Alien beasts cause devastating damage to facilities in the suburbs all the time. Only the area around Tokyo, where Ultra Warriors are present, is slightly better. Further away, and even all over the world, wherever Alien beasts ravage, life is tough.

Japan has many family-owned businesses where ordinary employees often stay for life after joining. If such a business goes bankrupt, the pressure to find new employment is much greater than one might imagine.

Unfortunately, each of these alien beasts can destroy a factory with a single kick, their job being to uproot businesses. As a result, behind every so-called "accident," there are always many companies that have suffered huge losses for no reason and have had to declare bankruptcy.

Chishu Rei replied half-jokingly, "Yes... it's marine biology research."

Jun Sakuma remained silent. He seemed to have underestimated this young man. Studying such an obscure subject meant he might be a dedicated academic researcher, unlike himself, who had only achieved mediocre academic results but managed to get a wife.
