Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

Suddenly, Riku Asakura felt a strange sense of pleasure, as if he was experiencing a kind of joy from this action, and it was urging him to seek more of the pleasure that came from hurting others.

"Pah!!!"

"Xiao Lu? What happened to you... um...."

Suddenly, Riku Asakura slapped himself hard across the face. The loud sound startled Peja, who rushed over to ask what was going on. But at that moment, the shopkeeper and the others seemed to be waking up. Peja hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to slip into Riku Asakura's shadow. After all, she didn't want to experience what a human who had just been frightened by a monster might do if they opened their eyes and saw the aliens.

While Asakura Riku was talking with the shopkeeper's family, Gen Subaru's gaze fell on the three-faced monster, Dada, who was rolling down the hillside. He closed his eyes, gently releasing his Nen power to gradually surround the space below the hillside, and began to concentrate intently on the changes there.

Then, not long after, he sensed a gaze coming from afar, and Gen Subaru immediately covered it with his psychic power.

However, the person in the gaze was not the Belial faction that Gen Subaru wanted to investigate. Instead, it was a woman wearing a black uniform, flesh-colored stockings, and black high heels who was looking at the Three-Faced Monster's direction through binoculars. She was excitedly shouting to her male companion behind her, who was also wearing a suit and had a very stiff expression, that they had made a breakthrough this time.

However, Yuan Mao knew that the man was not human, but a Shad alien, a cosmic race born with a fighting instinct and a thirst for power, while the woman was a pure human, and they came from a place called the 'Alien Investigation Bureau'...

367 Yuan Mao-ge, I'm so sorry!!!

Regarding this organization, Gen Subaru had already discovered its unique nature after infiltrating local government databases using Ryme's system as a springboard.

The Extraterrestrial Investigation Bureau (AIB) was formed after the Impact Crisis by aliens and humans with the goal of restoring order to the universe. Except for Aizaki Moa, the Earth woman with the telescope, the other members disguise themselves as Earthlings while infiltrating Earth's society.

This organization was established very early, almost the day after the Impact Crisis. Subaru has reason to believe that some fragments of information generated during the Impact Crisis may have been transmitted to the past, giving some people in the past a premonition similar to an 'apocalypse'.

Furthermore, this organization is quite interesting. Despite having many aliens within it, its technology tree is surprisingly not very advanced. According to the database, when these dispatched armed personnel are deployed, they are mostly using vehicles made on Earth.

So....

What exactly is going on with that observatory?

I originally thought it was an abandoned branch of AIB. It seems that AIB's technology level is not that high. Could it be a place created by Belial's forces?

Yuan Mao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, but quickly stopped thinking about it. Regardless of its origins, the observatory's underground command center had been abandoned after the Impack crisis, and now he had renovated it, adding various internal and external security systems...

In other words, regardless of who this underground command center of the observatory belonged to before, it can only belong to 'Minamoto no Subaru' now.

If the former owner of the headquarters were to come looking for him, it might be a good opportunity to open his eyes.

Thinking of this, Gen Subaru stopped wasting his energy on the topic. He had originally thought that outsiders were watching him, so he wanted to use the three-faced monster Dada to lure them out. Now that it was AIB members who had been lured out, it wasn't very meaningful. He would deal with AIB when they actually confronted him. Anyway, they were easy to deal with.

With his eyes closed, Gen Subaru slowly withdrew his psychic power, preparing to continue his own business. After finishing various chores, he also had to start rethinking his power. Admittedly, as he and Asakura Riku had said, the power of truth was not very compatible with him, a reckless man, but that was not a reason to abandon it at the moment.

Oh right, I almost forgot about you.

At this moment, Gen Subaru suddenly reached out and patted his forehead. Then, with a slight fluctuation of his psychic power, he silently snapped the neck of the three-faced monster Dada, ending his life. However, it was not the right time to make any big moves, so the three-faced monster Dada's home planet and his people were able to continue to survive for the time being. This debt will be remembered for now and dealt with later.

While Gen Subaru was deep in thought, Fukuide Sei was struggling to climb the mountains. He had spent two and a half years finally creating an instrument to detect the location of the Star of Order, although the instrument was unreliable and could only provide a general direction...

But at least this is a direction we can refer to! As long as we have a general direction, for Lord Belial, I will find a way to cross the sea even if it means doing it barehanded!

With that thought in mind, Fukuide Kiri rushed into the deep forest. Not long after, he nearly dropped the instrument in his hand. The instrument displayed "Distance: 1," which shouldn't be within one kilometer! That's how I set it! I've already walked more than ten kilometers already! What's wrong with this device? Why is it randomly changing the data?!

Fukuide Sei leaned against a tree, panting and wiping away sweat. Confident in his equipment, he hadn't brought any supplies; after all, a kilometer was just a leisurely stroll. But now...

Luckily, I'm pretty good at wilderness survival, so I could easily survive here for a week! Damn it, where on earth is the Star of Order hidden here?!

Fukuide Sei stared bloodshot at the instrument in his hand, at the radar scan results displayed everywhere bright spots, as if it were saying that he was surrounded by Stars of Order.

How is this possible!

After several attempts yielded no results, Fukuide sighed wearily and decided to continue searching for a while longer. To realize Lord Belial's plan, more Stars of Order were needed. Therefore, even if it meant using some means to seal off this mountain, it would be well worth it as long as he could eventually obtain the Stars of Order.

Honestly, how could my ingenuity malfunction? This instrument never had such an outrageous error rate when it was in the lab before.

Fukuide Kiri reluctantly put away the instrument. If Gen Subaru had heard his troubles, he would have praised Fukuide Kiri's talent in his heart. After all, every blade of grass, every grain of sand, and every stone on this planet is a product of order, and even Fukuide Kiri himself is among them. He used the instrument that detects fluctuations in the power of [order] to search, and frankly, getting one or two relatively accurate results was already quite good.

On the other side, Asakura Riku had finished chatting with the store manager's family. Although Asakura Riku didn't mention anything about rushing into the fire, the store manager's family wasn't stupid. Even if they were, looking at Asakura Riku's slightly charred hair and the abnormal tear at the edge of his coat, they should understand who had pulled them out of the fire while they were unconscious.

Therefore, they warmly welcomed Asakura Riku and invited him to stay with them. Although they had moved to this warehouse because of Ellie's arson, which was a safety concern, Ellie's problem seemed to have been solved with the warehouse fire. Now, things were much easier to handle. Their house was large and spacious, and there was no problem at all for Asakura Riku to stay.

However, Riku Asakura politely but firmly declined the shopkeeper's family's invitation. After all, he wasn't exactly homeless, and if he stayed with the shopkeeper, Peja would probably have to stay in the Dark Realm for a long time, which was not the outcome he wanted.

Therefore, after racking his brains, Asakura Riku finally managed to politely decline the enthusiastic shopkeeper's family. He then took the teleportation elevator back to the Observatory Command. Peja also immediately escaped from the Dark Domain. The two cubs looked at each other and sighed wearily. It was all because of the shopkeeper's family's overwhelming enthusiasm. The enthusiastic Peja even wanted to come out and agree on Asakura Riku's behalf.

'Gurgle....'

'Gurgle~~~~'

Just then, two stomach growls sounded simultaneously. Asakura Riku and Peijia exchanged a glance, chuckled together, and then Asakura Riku walked towards the backpack first, turning to Peijia and saying:

"How about pineapple-flavored bread?"

"can!"

"Yuan Mao, what flavor do you like?"

"Huh?! Me?"

Subaru, who had already jumped out of his coat hood and was still deep in thought, paused slightly, separated a portion of his racing thoughts to analyze the current situation, and then shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about me. As a light particle aggregate, I don't need to eat. But, Xiao Lu, are you sure you still have food in your backpack?"

? ! X2

These words made Asakura Riku and Pega freeze. Still somewhat dizzy, they immediately realized what was happening and rushed towards the backpack. Sure enough...

"We've already finished eating."

"I've completely forgotten."

The two cubs looked at the backpack, which was now just a packaging bag, and let out a mournful cry of disbelief. Then, Riku Asakura and Pega huddled together in perfect unison and began rummaging through their pockets and wallets, eventually managing to scrape together a bunch of change.

"This... should last for two days, right...?"

"No, no, no, Xiao Lu, if we only eat one meal a day, it might last for a week."

"That won't do. You're still growing. Eating so little will stunt your growth."

Hearing the distraught voices of Asakura Riku and Peja, Minamoto Subaru sighed, halting his analysis of the power of truth, and turned to them, saying:

"Xiao Lu, you should know how to get to Mingdao Street, right?"

"Ah, I know."

When Asakura Riku saw that Minamoto Subaru had started talking to him, he knew that things had taken a turn for the better. His eyes lit up, and he obediently replied:

"It's not far from the shopkeeper's general store."

“There’s a place at 43 Mingdao Street where you can withdraw money. I’ve already had Lem complete all the necessary procedures online. Take your ID and wallet, go there and withdraw all the money to cover your living expenses during this time.”

Yuan Mao had already considered this situation. Knowing the night before that the two cubs would face an economic crisis, he casually took on dozens of jobs online and earned a sum of money, which was a huge amount for an ordinary family.

Of course, Minamoto no Subaru didn't ask Asakura Riku to withdraw all the money, only a portion of it. Next, Minamoto no Subaru hoped that Asakura Riku and Peja would learn some life skills so that they could support themselves through their own efforts.

The premise is that if they don't want to go to school, and if Asakura Riku still has the desire to learn, he will take on more jobs and earn more money so that even if he leaves one day, he can still support Asakura Riku to complete his student years and the cost of further education.

However, there's one more thing that Yuan Mao wants to complain about: the island nation's payment system is so outdated that it can't even do mobile payments. Some government agencies are still using floppy disks, something that should have been phased out long ago, which is truly unbelievable.

"Xiao Lu, after you withdraw the money, remember to buy some daily necessities first."

At this moment, Gen Subaru looked at Asakura Riku, who was packing his things and preparing to leave, thought for a moment, and decided to nag him a bit, earnestly giving him some advice:

"Don't be greedy for cheap things that you will use for a long time. Buy the best quality personal items you can. Also, although the headquarters elevator can take you anywhere, since you are going to stay here for a long time, it is better to get a means of transportation."

Otherwise, using the elevator to go to the market, shops, or workplace would be too conspicuous... Hmm, an electric scooter or bicycle will do. Remember to buy one with a slightly larger carrying capacity, since you and Pei-jia live here, and you'll need to buy enough for two people at once. If the basket is too small, you'll probably have to make several trips to buy everything. As for the refrigerator, bed, etc... I'll take care of those, you don't need to worry about them. Hmm... that's all for now, got it?

"Okay, I'll remember that, Yuan Mao-ge. Well then, Yuan Mao-ge, let's go."

After Asakura Riku and Pega exchanged words to confirm that they had remembered Gen Subaru's words, they happily waved and took the elevator away from the Observatory Headquarters. Gen Subaru, on the other hand, looked around at the surrounding space.

It's a bit small and there aren't any rooms. If we're going to stay here for a long time, we'll have to renovate it properly. Let's use the Light of Nexus to expand the space and use the power of truth to make some adjustments to the surrounding structure.

Gen Subaru rolled up his sleeves slightly and began the second renovation of the Observatory Command. He was quite adept at this operation, as he could completely modify it according to the situation at the TLT-J base. It must be said that although the TLT-J base was underwater and the corridors and passageways gave people a rather oppressive feeling.

However, the interior design of the room is quite good. At least when Genma moved in, he curiously walked around the room several times and was amazed that he was living in such a nice place.

only.....

When Asakura Riku and Pega returned, looking at what they had bought, Genji Subaru paused for a moment, then pinched his brow and pointed to the mountain bike, saying:

"This...it's pretty cool. It should be fine for traveling, but...it doesn't seem convenient for carrying things, and..."

Yuan Mao glanced to the side, looked at the game console Pei Jia was holding, then took the bags from the two of them and looked inside, and couldn't help but say:

"Although this food should be enough for you to eat for a few days, what about your daily necessities? Don't you brush your teeth, wash your face, or take a bath? It seems like you only have this one set of clothes. This... Although I've been away from human society for quite a while, I don't think game consoles are necessities. Can you two tell me why? You made such a good promise when you set off, so why are you like this now?"

"......" X2

Subaru's tone remained as calm as before, but Riku Asakura and Peja were already drenched in sweat. Riku pointed somewhat frantically at the mountain bike and said:

"Um, Yuan Mao-ge, let me explain. This mountain bike, don't let its appearance fool you, it's actually..."

Gen Subaru: "Hmm↗?"

"...I'm so sorry!!" x2

368 Asakura Riku: I will fight!

Seeing the two guys in front of him give up on arguing and directly choose to slide to their knees, Gen Subaru sighed helplessly and said softly:

"You can decide for yourselves whether to keep these things or return them. Let me make this clear first: the money you just received is your living expenses for this month. I will not give you a single penny before next month. You must take responsibility for your actions."

After saying that, Gen Subaru didn't say anything more to the two of them and went back to doing his own thing. Asakura Riku and Peijia cautiously raised their heads, glanced at Gen Subaru, and after making sure they wouldn't be scolded anymore, they tiptoed to the elevator. After discussing it quietly for a while, they quietly walked back, ready to return the bicycle and game console.

But at that moment, they suddenly saw Gen Subaru raise his head and look to the upper left. This unusual action startled Peja, who thought he was going to continue his criticism. To this Pegasus cub, Gen Subaru was a rather frightening figure.
