"It was around 11 p.m. last night when GRIDCH made a loud noise from the old computer that was there, waking up my whole family. But when we went down to check, we didn't find anything strange. When I went to ask him this morning, GRIDCH just said not to worry, it was just a new guest. He said that when you wake up, you should go and take a look, maybe you'll know the new guest."

"what?"

Gen Subaru was taken aback, not expecting this turn of events to await him. He quickly got up to see what kind of guests had arrived at Gridman's place. Rikka Takarada followed along, and with Gen Subaru by her side, she was quite daring.

At that moment, Subaru, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Rikka Takarada, and said seriously:

"Rikka, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

"Oh? Oh, okay, thank you."

Rikka Takarada hadn't expected Subaru to make such a promise to her at this moment, and her face flushed slightly. She whispered her reply, and then Subaru didn't say anything more, heading straight for the old-fashioned computer, and then...

"G?!"

295. Everyone's favorite - Akane Shinjo

Subaru was very curious about what had happened to Gridman. According to Rikka Takarada, there were no other changes near the old computer last night. So, it seemed that the visitor, like Gridman, was hiding inside the old computer.

Furthermore, that person was someone I was quite familiar with; at least judging from Gridman's comments, that seemed to be the case.

Therefore, Subaru immediately thought of Ultraman X. After all, that Ultraman was also an electronic and digital type Ultraman warrior. It wouldn't be strange for him to squeeze in with Gridman and hide inside.

However, when Gen Subaru arrived in front of the old-fashioned computer and saw the figure floating on the screen that lit up, he was really surprised. The Ultra Warrior who was peaceful and in a dormant state was obviously Zero, and it looked like he had just been beaten up by something and was very weak.

"As expected, you know this guest."

Gridman's voice followed, the super agent replacing Zero on the screen, speaking to Subaru:

“I detected a reaction of light energy on him, and I thought he must be from your clan. It seems I was right.”

"No, no, no, although we are all Ultraman, not all Ultraman are of the same race. Zero is from the Land of Light, I am from Earth, and there are also Ultraman in star systems like U40 and O-50. So Gridman, although you guessed right in terms of the result, the process was completely wrong."

Gen Subaru helplessly tutored Gridman on Ultraman knowledge, while Rikka Takarada couldn't help but show a subtle expression. If she remembered correctly, when he searched for Ultraman Nexus tokusatsu dramas, there were also tokusatsu movies related to Zero in the related entries, but she really had no interest in tokusatsu and didn't watch them.

So now...should we get it fixed...?

Rikka Takarada scratched her cheek with her finger and tilted her head slightly as she thought for a moment.

Well, I guess I'm not really interested in tokusatsu after all. As for Zero and stuff, watching Nexus should be enough. As for the rest, if needed, I'll have Subaru Minamoto fill in the gaps in my knowledge in the future.

Subaru glanced back at Rikka Takarada. He didn't know what she was thinking, but he vaguely sensed she needed his help. After seeing Rikka wave her hand somewhat flusteredly, he turned his gaze back to Gridman and said softly:

“GRIDMAN, why is Zero here? How much intelligence do you have?”

"To be honest, besides knowing that Zero's situation is not good, all I know is that Samurai Holy Sword, Witt, Max, and Polla can probably only help us in some way during the fusion battle."

"...Besides Samurai Holy Sword, who are the others?"

Gen Subaru was taken aback by the sudden appearance of so many unfamiliar names in Gridman's mouth. He remained silent for a moment, waiting for Gridman to continue. When he didn't hear anything, he couldn't help but ask. Gridman then realized what was happening and quickly explained:

"Samurai Holy Sword, Witt, Max, and Polla are members of the 'New World Junior High Students,' and they are also the weapon modules that support me in battle. Subaru, now open the cabinet on the left, and you will see them."

Ok?

Gen Subaru raised an eyebrow in surprise, and then, following Gridman's instructions, opened the cabinet door. Inside were models of a longsword, a tank, a jet, and a drilling machine, all with a distinctly futuristic style. The four models flickered slightly when the cabinet door was opened, as if greeting Gen Subaru, before falling silent.

"They look like they've been badly hurt."

Gen Subaru looked at Gridman beside him and said softly:

"But during the time I was away, no monsters appeared at Dujuan Terrace."

"Because what attacked them wasn't a monster, but Ultraman Zero."

Speaking of this, Gridman was both amused and exasperated. Originally, the four of them—Samurai Sword, Witt, Max, and Polla—were active in the Cuckoo Terrace, searching for clues to find the mastermind and the whereabouts of Alexis.

Just as they were gathering together to exchange information, Ultraman Zero suddenly appeared from a space-time rift, his body engulfed in dark golden flames. Like a meteorite, he crashed into the location where the four were standing, and Samurai Sacred Sword, Vito, Max, and Bora were almost destroyed on the spot.

Fortunately, due to the fusion transformation of Gridman and Subaru, Gridman was also affected by some of the power of light, which allowed his abilities to be restored and expanded to a certain extent.

Therefore, when Samurai Sacred Sword, Witt, Max, and Polla were about to die, Gridman, as the original form, sensed the danger from his companions and used his accumulated power to guide the four to the secondhand shop "Ayaka Junk Shop" to escape the danger.

What Gridman couldn't understand was that he originally wanted to pull the four people back, but for some reason, Zero also came along. This really startled Gridman, since the old computer had just started sparking because of his outburst. If the computer couldn't withstand Zero's presence, it would be a real problem.

Fortunately, Zero, who was in a coma, did not put any extra burden on the computer, which was a real relief to Gridman.

"Excuse me, I'd like to interrupt."

At that moment, Rikka Takarada seemed to remember something. While scrolling through her phone, she raised her hand and joined in, saying softly:

"Mr. Zero... he didn't arrive at the junkyard, did he?"

"Could I take a look at the map... Ah, that direction."

Upon hearing Gridman's reply, Rikka Takarada showed Subaru the contents of her phone with a subtle expression. It clearly stated that a gas pipeline had erupted at the garbage dump, residents were advised to avoid the area during this time, and that those involved had already apologized, etc.

"What an almighty gas pipe explosion!"

Yuan Mao couldn't help but complain. Back in TLT-J, everyone there liked to use this name to cover up the damage caused by eliminating the alien beasts. If he remembered correctly, almost all the members of TLT-J's external coordination department had bowed and apologized for it. Before he went to fight the Gua Legion, the directors of several large gas companies were TLT-J people.

"However... Baoduo..."

"Hmm?"

"Liuhua, has a similar serious incident happened at Azalea Terrace before?"

"Let me think about it..."

After correcting the issue of how she addressed Minamoto Subaru, Rikka Takarada gently tapped her head with her phone, thought seriously for a moment, and said:

"It seems like there really aren't any. It's very peaceful here. Since I started school, I haven't even seen a car accident. I only see similar big news stories online about other places."

"It seems that my previous battles have yielded quite good results."

After thinking for a moment, Minamoto no Subaru said with considerable confidence:

"Otherwise, there would be another monster appearing outside this town because of this."

"You mean... actually, many similar things have happened at Azalea Terrace, and they were all edited out by someone?"

Rikka Takarada's eyes widened slightly, then she waved her hands in a daze and said:

"That's not right. If that were the case, there shouldn't be so few monsters outside..."

“Miss Baoduo, generally speaking, gas pipeline explosions are not so easy to happen.”

"Do not."

Gen Subaru interrupted Gridman and said in a deep voice:

“Nothing like that has ever happened in Dujuantai. Although I don’t have any evidence right now, I believe that the people who created those monsters didn’t want such a disaster, which would be unfriendly to humans, to happen here.”

"Pleiades."

Rikka Takarada moved slightly closer to the boy, looking at him with a curious gaze, and said:

"Have you already discovered something?"

'Ding ding ding ding....'

At the same time, Rikka Takarada's phone rang. She quickly went to the side and answered it. Judging from her somewhat reserved tone, the caller was probably not someone she knew. Subaru didn't pay attention to the conversation on the other end and started staring at the screen, observing Zero's situation.

Well, the more I look at his injuries, the more it seems like I've inflicted them on him.

Gen Ang rubbed his chin with a subtle expression. In fact, Gridman had the same feeling last night, thinking that some of Zero's injuries looked like they were inflicted by him. After all, as a super agent, he had some unique and proud moves.

So, what exactly is going on with this person? X2

Both Gen Ang and Gridman had the same question in their minds, but Gen Angman quickly put the question aside. He could ask Zero about it when he woke up. Now, let me see how much light energy Zero has left. If he has a lot, I'll take some over to use.

After all, Gen Subaru was quite confident that the light energy in his hands would definitely be less useful than in his own.

Um....

Forget it.

If they keep exploiting Zero, they'll really kill him.

His health bar seems shorter than mine was back then. Wait, what kind of enemy did he fight? He looks incredibly strong, it's making me itchy to fight him.

Ah, no, no, I need to calm down this damned fighting spirit. Don't forget, my own health bar isn't even half full yet.

Gen Subaru patted his head to calm himself down, and then decided to find a place to pick up the members of Dyna Tyrannosaurus.

Meanwhile, Rikka Takarada finished her call and returned to Subaru's side. Seeing the girl's helpless expression, Subaru thought for a moment and then asked:

"What's wrong? You seem troubled."

"Ah...it's about my classmate."

Rikka Takarada placed her hands behind her neck and gently rubbed them, saying:

“There’s a classmate of mine named Shinjo Akane. She hasn’t been to class for the past two days, so some classmates wanted to visit her. However, they didn’t know Shinjo’s home address. And I don’t know where they got the information that I used to take the bus to and from school with her for a while, so they called to ask me.”

"You didn't say?"

"Of course I didn't say that, it's not something I can say, okay?"

Rikka Takarada put her phone in her pocket and said with a headache:

"The boys who made the call weren't even from our class, and judging from the noise, there seemed to be quite a few people on the other end. Putting myself in their shoes, it's really a headache to have a group of complete strangers showing up at your door without even making an appointment. They haven't even washed or dressed up, and their house isn't even tidy. Honestly, what were those boys thinking?"
