Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Putting aside the fact that Subaru can't transform yet, this transformation device is useless to him. Once Subaru can transform, even if he's separated by a small town or half the globe, this Evolution Trustee will respond to his transformation. Then, after Subaru recovers, the transformation device? It's just a dispensable ritual prop. If pushed to the limit, he won't even need to raise his hand; he'll transform directly.

After Subaru shrunk the Evolution Truster, Rikka Takarada breathed a sigh of relief. Before, she wasn't complaining about how ugly the thing was, nor was she upset that Subaru was stuffing things into her without her consent—that would be a fool's reaction. She was just troubled about how to carry the stone with her at all times. But that problem has now been solved.

"Alright, I'll be leaving now."

After dealing with Shino Yotsuse's matter, Minamoto Subaru bid farewell to Takarada Rikka, saying:

"I still need to look for a job. Gridman is waiting for me to buy him. So, Miss Baoduo, goodbye."

"and many more."

At that moment, Rikka Takarada suddenly called out to Subaru Genji and whispered:

"Well, about that old computer, you don't need to worry about it. Yesterday... ah, yes, it was yesterday. I don't know what Gridman was doing on the computer last night, but it caused a lot of electrical sparks. Mom was worried that something might go wrong, so she decided to sell it at a discount as soon as possible."

"what..."

Gen Subaru blinked, thought for a moment, and said softly:

"But the computer wasn't actually broken, was it? It just feels like we're taking advantage of you Earthlings, which isn't quite right..."

"Ah~~~ Don't be such a stubborn old man. Really, you've fought so hard for humanity, don't worry about such a small advantage."

Realizing that this person genuinely wanted to continue working to save money, and wasn't just making excuses, Rikka Takarada gave Subaru a push, both amused and exasperated, and said helplessly:

"Alright, alright, let's go, let's hurry to my house and finalize this deal."

"So you're what you call a 'daughter who favors outsiders'? I never thought this proverb would actually come true in real life."

"...Mr. Ultraman, could you please brush up on your common sense about humanity? I don't know where you heard this saying, but it's not appropriate to apply it to me."

"Is that so? I'm very sorry."

Amidst Subaru and Rikka's banter, the two quickly arrived near "Ayaka JUNK SHOP." At that moment, Rikka paused for a moment, then finally voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind. Looking at the boy's retreating figure, she softly said:

"Um, Minamoto no Subaru, why do you like humans so much?"

"Ah, I feel like I've answered this question many times before."

Gen Subaru looked up at the white clouds in the sky with a touch of emotion, and said softly:

"I like it, that's all. There's no reasoning for it. Whether my feelings come from some kind of setting or from my true heart, I just like it. If you ask me to give a reason, the answer is still just that I like it."

"..."

Not hearing a sound behind him, Genji turned around in surprise and saw Rikka Hokage with her head down. Her delicate face was hidden by her black hair. Although he could see it with his Nen, out of respect for human privacy, Genji did not use that method. Instead, he smiled and teased her, saying:

"Shouldn't you be criticizing me now, saying, 'What you just said sounded like a tongue twister,' right? Hmm!"

"Ultraman, don't try to guess what human girls are thinking."

Rikka Takarada withdrew her hand from Subaru's back, though she only used a little force. She hadn't forgotten how weak this Ultraman was; she didn't want him to fall to the monster's hands and instead get seriously injured by her.

Then I would truly be a sinner against humanity.

Even if you guess a girl's thoughts correctly, sometimes she doesn't want them to be told.

"Ah, human nature is so complicated. Fortunately, all I need to do is protect."

"Don't portray them as such irresponsible parents."

While Gen Subaru and Takarada Rikka were chatting idly, the two officially entered the secondhand shop "Ayaka JUNK SHOP". At this moment, Rikka's mother was sitting at the counter, bored, and yawned a lot. Then, she boredly stuck her little finger into her ear and twirled it around.

At that moment, she heard footsteps, or more precisely, the footsteps of Rikka Takarada. As a mother, she was naturally sensitive to the noises made by her own daughter, and only then did she notice the presence of Subaru.

"Oh! Young man, we've really met these past two days. We've met three times in less than 24 hours."

"Hello, Mrs. Baoduo."

Yuan Mao greeted him politely, then got straight to the point, pointing to the old-fashioned computer and saying:

"Has this computer gone on sale? If so, I'm planning to buy it."

Indeed, after the price reduction, Yuan Mao's earnings as a hair model were just enough. At the same time, Yuan Mao couldn't help but sigh that this was indeed a secondhand store, and the discounts on the goods were truly astonishing. The owner could set prices arbitrarily as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Oh, you have a good eye, bro. But since you came in with Rikka, you must already know the relevant information."

At this moment, Rikka Takarada noticed the look of relief in her mother's eyes, as if her own cabbage had finally moved its roots to go out and find a piglet to drag out, slaughter, and add some fertilizer to the house.

In response, Rikka Takarada suppressed her urge to argue with her mother, simply playing silently on her phone, pretending not to see anything. To be honest, if it weren't for encountering Ultraman and giant robots, would she really be expected to help with business? Haha, she'd rather wait until she graduates from university and can't find any more action roles. Right now, she's too lazy to learn how to do business at all.

The transaction between Minamoto Subaru and Rikka's mother went smoothly, with money exchanged for goods. Then, just as Rikka's mother was about to ask Minamoto Subaru where he lived so she could help him open the door and take the computer back, Rikka suddenly realized something—

Where did Ultraman sleep last night? This seems to be the first money he received from working as a hair model.

This guy probably sleeps under a bridge.

Thinking of this, Rikka Takarada couldn't help but picture Subaru, seemingly glamorous but actually battered and bruised, huddled under the bridge to the east, unable to break free even with her own strength, relentlessly attacked by mosquitoes, hugging his knees, closing his eyes, and resting...

The child seems to be thinking about something extraordinary.

Subaru sensed something and silently glanced at Rikka Takarada, who was suddenly staring at him with a piercing gaze. He couldn't help but mentally complain, then looked at Rikka's mother and smiled, saying:

"Well, let's just leave the computer here for now. I don't have much space for it right now, so... I have some money here, consider it payment for placing the computer here."

"Ah... forget about the fee. This computer has been here for quite a while now, so it doesn't seem to matter if it stays here a little longer."

Rikka's mother originally wanted to get rid of the dangerous appliance from the store as soon as possible, but she didn't expect this outcome. However, since the customer said so, she couldn't just throw the item away, and naturally, she couldn't collect the money. The boy who looked about the same age as Rikka was probably a high school student. If he were an adult, she might be able to collect the storage fee without feeling guilty.

"By the way, Rikka, now that you're back, could you please watch the shop for me?"

At this moment, Rikka's mother smiled and waved to Takarada Rikka, then took off her apron, picked up her coat, put on her single yellow eye-shaped earring, clasped her hands together, and said in a pleading manner:

"Mrs. Nara asked me to go shopping with her, so I'm counting on you."

"Oh, I see, really..."

Rikka raised her hand and brushed the hair that was stuck to her cheek, then tucked all the hair that was hanging down on her left side behind her ear. Her eyes were fixed on her phone the whole time. She responded weakly. Rikka's mother smiled and waved to her daughter, then happily ran out of the store.

and many more! ! !

However, just as Rikka's mother opened the car door and was about to leave, she suddenly sensed something was wrong. Leaning on the steering wheel, she blinked thoughtfully. What was her daughter's favorite family routine? Their usual bickering and playing! (Rikka: No way!!) This time, she was so quiet, and so readily agreed to her request to watch the shop without a single complaint. This wasn't right, this was really wrong! Had her daughter been possessed?!

Rikka's mother raised an eyebrow, as if she was about to go find some old priest to exorcise a demon, but then her expression immediately became ambiguous. Her smile was not exactly kind, but rather, if Rikka Takarada saw it, she would simply ignore her own mother and have no intention of arguing at all. She could only keep her distance from this woman who was smiling like a pervert.

Ah~~~~ Is the sweet and wonderful high school life finally about to begin? Xiao Liuhua has really good taste. If I were ten or twenty years younger, I would also want to try pursuing such a handsome and cute boy. Go for it, Xiao Liuhua! In my many years of experience, this boy is definitely a high-quality stock. Great! To create enough time and space, I'll play until dark before coming back today!

"Shouldn't I go out?"

Just before Rikka's mother drove away, Subaru sat at the bar, looked at Rikka, and said softly:

"I have a feeling that your mother might misunderstand something."

"You 'saw' it?"

"Ah."

"Don't worry about her."

Rikka Takarada said calmly:

"If you deal with her more, you'll realize that my mother is just like a child, always thinking one thing and doing another. Once she calms down, the matter will be over."

"Is this how children understand their parents? It sounds quite profound."

Subaru Mitsuru muttered something in surprise, which immediately caught Rikka Takarada's attention, causing her to look at him.

"If you're asking how Ultraman came to be, I honestly don't know. Strictly speaking, I'm not exactly a normal Ultraman."

Just by looking into Rikka Takarada's eyes, Subaru knew what she wanted to ask. To be honest, Rikka Takarada looked much better now than when they first met, when she was so listless and listless. Subaru also felt that humans of this age should have some vitality and energy. Then he continued:

"If you're curious about my background, I can tell you, but... it's a bit complicated. My bloodline composition might reshape your worldview."

"Oh...."

"So you still want to know, right?"

280 The Enemy is in the High School (Refresh to see image)

Although Subaru had already given the answer, he could clearly see the words "I'm curious" in Rikka Takarada's eyes. What else could he do but talk to her? Ultraman Subaru could satisfy such a small matter.

only...

Before we begin the explanation...

Rikka Takarada noticed that Subaru's expression had turned cold, and his gentle eyes held a chill she couldn't decipher. Subaru had also grabbed the triangular wooden ruler that her mother had placed on the table. Although she didn't know what had happened, Rikka Takarada realized that something was bound to happen next.

So she decisively hid under the bar, peeking out only her head to observe the situation outside, and then whispered:

"Are you sure you can handle holding a ruler like that? Or should I go get you a kitchen knife?"

Weapons aren't important. You really expect me to go up there and fight with something right now?

Well, the atmosphere was completely ruined. Gen Subaru couldn't help but want to complain. Forget about a kitchen knife, even if you brought me a samurai sword, it wouldn't do me any good. This thing is just for distraction; the real killing move is telekinesis!

Just then, a figure appeared in front of the secondhand shop "Ayaka JUNK SHOP". Although the man was wearing a suit, he looked somewhat slovenly, with a stubble beard and his head slightly hunched forward, looking like an old man. Yuan Mao did not sense anything amiss about this man, but there were four long swords of the same length hanging at his waist, resembling steps.

That's not just a decoration, that's the real deal. Plus, with the recent incident involving Shino Yotsuse, it's impossible for Gen Subaru not to be wary of such a strange person appearing here.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Subaru and Rikka Takarada, this guy headed straight for the entrance of the secondhand shop "Ayaka Junk Shop". Then, as if he had forgotten about the four long swords behind him, he walked straight in. Then, because the long swords were too long, they were suddenly stuck in the door frame, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"I have a feeling my house is about to get lively..."

Rikka Takarada made a curt remark without any expression, and then Subaru Minamoto pressed her head down, forcing her to hide completely under the bar. After the sword-wielding man entered the secondhand shop "Ayaka Junk Shop" and came into the center of Subaru Minamoto's current perception range, he realized that this man was still very dangerous to Rikka Takarada.
