Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Gen Subaru watched as Shinjo Akane muttered to herself, picked up a utility knife, wiped away the bloodstains, and began working on it. Without saying anything more, he quietly closed the door and left the human girl's residence.

Then, Gen Subaru glanced down at his torso, casually wiping away the bloodstains with a wave of his hand. As for the wounds... it was only a matter of time before this body was discarded, so there was no need to waste precious light energy on it. The only reason Gen Subaru hadn't discarded it yet was simply to guard against Zero from the old computer.

After all, this body is a product of fusion with Gridman. If something goes wrong with that old computer, he can use this body to forcibly enter the computer space and take various countermeasures.

Ah... another day has passed.

As he watched the pale yellow sunset cast its light upon the earth, Gen Subaru couldn't help but sigh. After dealing with these matters, he would have to expand this miniature world into a complete one. Otherwise, it would be such a pity if Rikka were confined to this small Azalea Terrace from childhood to old age. Given her family's financial situation, traveling abroad for leisure and entertainment wouldn't be a problem for her.

Next... let's go check out the boundary of this miniature garden world.

Gen Subaru closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and found a new target. Although things seemed calm now, Nan Mengya and the others' world was in a similar state before it was destroyed. Who knew when those Ultra Warriors and monsters would suddenly descend upon it.

Fortunately, this miniature world isn't very large, so Subaru can walk around its edge and set up some precautions. If a similar disaster were to occur here in the future, these measures might buy him a lot of precious time.

Without hesitation, Gen Subaru immediately set to work and began constructing suitable energy nodes in his mind, adapting to the specific circumstances.

As a result, at the secondhand shop "Ayaka JUNK SHOP", everyone sat at the table and waited for a long time without seeing Gen Subaru. In the end, in order not to disappoint the chef Rikka's mother, everyone had no choice but to stop waiting for Gen Subaru and start eating.

"You two... seem to have gotten along much better."

After finishing their meal, while washing the dishes in the kitchen, Liuhua's mother noticed the commotion outside and whispered to her daughter:

"Have you two reached some kind of secret agreement? Oh dear, these young people nowadays..."

"Mom, please stop making wild guesses when you don't know anything about it."

Rikka Takarada sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice, somewhat disappointed:

"We have a good relationship... so we're probably accomplices."

Yes, accomplices—ah, no, not in terms of age. It's just that after their conversation, Rikka Takarada and Mume Minami both realized one thing: although they hadn't known each other for long, they genuinely had feelings for Subaru Minamoto. They didn't know if it counted as love, but at least, the thought of Subaru holding another girl and laughing happily made them both feel somewhat unhappy.

As for why they are called accomplices, it is because Rikka Takarada and Mume Minami both discovered that Subaru Minami's 'love' is fair. In other words, no matter who it is, even if it is Rikka Takarada, Hachika Takarada, any other flower, or Mume Minami, whether male or female, tall or short, fat or thin, you can say that if you put any human in their position, Subaru Minami would treat them the same way, because they are all 'humans'.

The biggest difference between Rikka Takarada and Mume Minami and the others is simply their 'luck'. Subaru Minamoto protects humanity, but he doesn't interact with them much, so only a few people can experience this doting affection from the 'god'.

Now, Rikka Takarada and Mume Minami want to monopolize this doting affection and claim the 'human god' as their own, which is why they call each other 'accomplices'.

However, after confirming the identity of the 'accomplice,' Rikka Takarada and Mume Minami were left with nothing but frustration. They were just high school girls, and their understanding of love and relationships was limited to what they had witnessed and heard. Moreover, what they had witnessed and heard were all between humans, and could not be applied to their situation.

Therefore, the girls couldn't come up with any solutions in the end. Although Nan Mengya said something like, "If I confess using my human identity, Minamoto Subaru will probably agree," she immediately rejected this idea herself. That kind of unequal relationship would definitely collapse sooner or later, and that kind of ending was not what she wanted!

"Alright, alright, Mom won't say any more."

Seeing her daughter's distressed expression, Rikka's mother didn't say anything more. After thinking for a moment, she softly said:

"Rikka, Mom didn't mean anything by it. It's just that if you like something, you have to learn to take the initiative. When Mom met Dad at the gym, if Mom hadn't been decisive enough, none of this would have happened. Okay, that's all for now. Mom is going to pick Dad up from get off work tonight, and then we'll go shopping. You and your friends, have fun. Mom's going now."

After saying this, Rikka's mother decisively threw off her apron, picked up her coat, and with a happy and energetic smile, greeted Shima and the others before driving off at breakneck speed.

It's clear that Rikka's mom is really looking forward to tonight's date.

After Rikka's mother left, the remaining people relaxed and were able to talk freely about topics that they couldn't discuss before. Gridman also appeared on the computer screen next to them, chatting with everyone and learning about the changes in the outside world.

Unexpectedly, not long after Rikka's mother left, a petite figure appeared at the entrance of the secondhand shop "Aya JUNK SHOP." She had short hair, her jacket was half-off revealing a white shirt underneath, and her hands were tucked into her sleeves. She adorably peeked out from the doorway, looked at the people inside the shop, and waved and greeted them with a smile:

Good evening, everyone. Is Subaru Minamoto here?

"Shinjo-kun?"

Rikka Takarada was surprised that Akane Shinjo would come to her place. Now that she thought about it, although they were neighbors, this popular girl hadn't really been here many times. Therefore, her visit this time was a pleasant surprise.

However, this surprise faded considerably after hearing that Shinjo Akane had come to see Gen Subaru.

Rikka Takarada still remembers what Subaru said on the way to pick up Minami Mumei and the others. Although she knew that Subaru was just joking, she never expected that in just one afternoon, Subaru would actually find Akane Shinjo.

Was the "most talented and beautiful girl" that I described back then really that attractive to him? So much so that he would abandon his work to go and meet Shinjo?

No, no, no, you can't think like that. Maybe Subaru went to see Shinjo because he was busy with something important.

No, no, no, what important business could we possibly have with Shinjo-san? She's just an ordinary, popular high school girl. We can't possibly be saying that Shinjo-san created all those monsters, can we? That's impossible.

Ugh... I guess I've shot myself in the foot.

Shinjo is so cute, even if I were to actually like her, it seems like it wouldn't be my turn.

"Rikka, Rikka, Rikka, wake up!"

Seeing Rikka Takarada suddenly clutching her head and beginning to turn gray, Minami Mumei quickly reached out and shook her. She had no idea who the newcomer was, and why she had turned into this upon meeting her. At least give an introduction before turning gray!

"Wow...that's amazing."

On the other side, watching Rikka Takarada's reaction, Akane Shinjo was still smiling, but her smile didn't seem so natural anymore. Like a child who had lost their favorite toy, she whispered:

"They should like me, but now they're feeling troubled because of my presence. Is that the magic of 'guests'? I can understand it, but it still makes me a little unhappy."

"If you're looking for Gen Subaru, he's not here; he's busy with something."

Seeing that Rikka Takarada was still unable to cheer up, Shima could only act as the host and greet Akane Shinjo, saying:

"Why don't you sit down first and tell me what you need?"

"Hehe, that's how it is."

Akane Shinjo pointed to the bag she had brought over and said:

"I've finished what Genma asked me to do, so I brought it over to him."

"It's a bit noisy..."

Huh?! XN

Just as everyone was talking, a somewhat lazy and listless voice rang out, abruptly stopping their conversation. Shima and the others quickly looked around to see who was speaking, since they didn't recall anyone they knew with that kind of voice. Only Shinjo Akane stared intently at the old-fashioned computer.

Gridman also took a look around, but as someone residing within an old computer, he saw things that others couldn't. This super agent, looking at the awakened Giant of Light, exclaimed with delight:

"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. It seems you're recovering even faster than I anticipated."

"where is this place?"

Zero looked around at his surroundings, then at Gridman, who resembled Jenna, and clutched his head, his head throbbing with pain. He weakly asked a question. At the same time, Nan Mengya stared wide-eyed at the figure that had suddenly appeared, taking up half the television screen, and blurted out:

"Zero?!?!"

"Ah, it's me. What's up? Little girl, do you know her...?"

Serco was genuinely startled by Nan Mengya's shout. He patted his chest, and just as he was about to greet her, he heard...

"Huh?! Is that Zero?!"

Just moments ago, Rikka Takarada, who was still in a grayish-white state, caught some key words and suddenly came to her senses. She had heard Nanami talk about Subaru's background before, and this startled Zero, who was now somewhat confused about the situation.

This world was quite unfamiliar to him, not to mention that his current state was quite strange, being squeezed into a bizarre space with a warrior he didn't know.

Furthermore, it seems that both the mechanical warrior and the humans from beyond space are aware of him. This is not surprising, as Zero has traveled to so many places in the universe, and many people on various planets have already learned of his existence through interstellar communication. He can be considered a celebrity in the universe.

but....

What made Zero feel uneasy was that the two human girls who called out his name gave him an incomprehensible reaction. Their expressions were a mix of shock and subtle complexity, and Zero really couldn't figure out why.

Moreover, as the two human girls began whispering explanations to their companions, that strange reaction began to spread.

"Hey, can you explain this to me? What's going on?"

Zero couldn't help but reach out and touch his headgear, asking directly. He was eager to find out what had happened and then figure out a way to get out of his current predicament. After all, this was not the time to rest; something big had happened outside!

At that moment, a beam of light fell on the old-fashioned computer, taking control of the device. Then, in everyone's sight, the boy's figure emerged from the night and appeared in the secondhand shop "Ayaka JUNK SHOP".

"Subaru?! What...what happened to you?!"

"Subaru, could it be that enemies have appeared?"

Seeing Minamoto Subaru's pale face, which was almost bloodless, Minami Mumei and Takarada Rikka couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to go forward and ask him something. As for Shinjo Akane, she couldn't sit still at all. After all, she was the culprit. Her fingers were nervously pressed together and she was rubbing them vigorously. Sweat was already starting to bead on her forehead.

I said we should get him bandaged up and take him to the hospital. Honestly, what would I do if he just died like this...?

301 Subaru: My Reonic Power!

"Zero, instead of us explaining to you, why don't you answer my questions first?"

"Pleiades?!"

Gen Subaru gently pushed Takarada Rikka and Minami Mumei aside, pressing them into chairs with his telekinesis. He then slowly walked to the old-fashioned computer, his expression cold and unreadable.

Zero was clearly surprised to see Subaru here and was momentarily stunned, unsure how to react. However, he quickly came to his senses because Subaru's killing intent was too strong, and he felt that if he didn't cooperate, he might not be around for another second.

No, what on earth is going on?!

Zero felt like he was turning into a broken record, but for now he could only quietly wait for Gen Subaru to continue. After all, this kid... really knew how to do it. In his eyes, his complicated blood relationship with him was probably completely ignored.

“Zero, I can feel my energy reaction on your body and where you fell. I believe that it was my doing that you were beaten into this state.”

Gen Subaru's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. Yamanaka Reki counted on his fingers and sorted out the relationships, but he couldn't wrap his head around it. Gen Subaru, you've already admitted that you did it, so what's there to ask? Are you teasing Zero?

"Then, Zero, tell me, why did you fight me, and from which point in time do you come?"

Gen Subaru stared intently at Zero, his eyes already glowing with a dark golden light. Zero instinctively shuddered at the sight. First in the Land of Light, and then just now, Zero had truly suffered greatly in the face of this mysterious dark golden energy. Especially in the recent encounter, he hadn't even figured out how he had been hit before his health bar was practically depleted.

“It wasn’t me who attacked you, it was you who attacked us. Me, Hong Kai, and my guards all fell down almost instantly.”

Zero looked at Subaru and said softly:

"I am not some Zero from the future, I am the present Zero, there is no doubt about that."

"Ah I?"
