New Ultraman: Monster Training Master

With the mole gone, the atmosphere in the command room became lively again.

What remains unchanged is that Kishida goes out on patrol every night.

Hoshikawa sat down and picked up his phone to browse today's news.

A news headline about a missing organism caught his attention.

Recently, more and more animals have gone missing in Tokyo, and even people have started to go missing recently.

Here's a really interesting comment: "I've noticed there are more and more crows in Tokyo."

"It's more than that. When I got home yesterday and turned on the living room light, I found geckos all over the floor, so many of them that anyone with trypophobia would faint."

A picture is attached below.

Hoshikawa kept scrolling through the comments section, and based on the content, he was convinced that [The One] was behind it all.

But he didn't have any good ideas.

To deal with alien beasts, we must have the means to eliminate them at the molecular level.

None of the monsters he possessed had such abilities.

Now we can only hope that Nexus exists in this world, otherwise the progenitor of the alien beasts will continue to evolve until it reaches a point where no one can defeat it.

Suddenly, Hoshikawa thought of the world before he traveled there.

Before he time-traveled, he loved staying in his dorm playing video games, especially MOBA games.

When you encounter heroes with powerful mechanics and overpowered stats, you either need to pick that hero in position one or ban them directly.

Theoretically speaking, although he couldn't destroy the progenitor of the alien beasts, he could capture it using the Gulu Ball.

With the theory established, the next step is practice.

Hoshikawa got up and prepared to head to Tokyo to find the whereabouts of the progenitor of the alien beasts.

The next moment, Dan Moroboshi, leaning on a cane, limped into the command room.

He saw Hoshikawa pick up his helmet and asked, "I don't recall your name being on today's field mission list?"

Hoshikawa: "I'm not a vampire. If I stay in the command room scrolling through my phone any longer, my body will degenerate."

Dan Moroboshi: "If you're really bored, you can drive your patrol car to Mount Nasu. There's a legend going around there that the Sesshoseki stone shattered and the nine-tailed fox was resurrected."

"I heard that many buildings were destroyed by the legendary fox spirit."

Hoshikawa: "Mt. Nasu, nine-tailed fox?"

These two sound like the content of episode 15 of Ultraman Taro, "The Nine-Tailed Fox and the Girl".

Yuka, who was sitting in front of the computer, leaned over and said, "Isn't the nine-tailed fox a legend from Mount Nasu? I heard that every few hundred years, the nine-tailed fox revives."

"The sign of the nine-tailed fox is nine beams of fox light. I went there for a few days before, but I didn't see any foxes. Instead, I saw a golden toad that swallowed money."

Yuka told Hoshikawa that there were many unscrupulous merchants there.

Hoshikawa expressed his understanding, after all, every tourist attraction in any country has a number of unscrupulous merchants.

They maintain high prices when there are few people, and raise prices even more dramatically when there are many people.

In short, I'm the only shop in the scenic area, so take it or leave it.

······

Hoshikawa drove his patrol car to the town at the foot of Mount Nasu.

Upon entering the city, Hoshikawa saw shops selling nine-tailed fox-themed items everywhere.

Nine-Tailed Fox Hotel, Nine-Tailed Fox Restaurant, Nine-Tailed Fox Doll Shop, Nine-Tailed Fox Adult Shop.

Hoshikawa:! ! !

Hoshikawa reversed his car and parked it at the Nine-Tailed Fox Adult Store, looking completely bewildered.

Honestly, the previous nine-tailed fox tokusatsu movies were one thing, but isn't it a bit much to add a nine-tailed fox to an adult store?

He really wanted to go in and take a look, but when he thought about the purpose of this trip, he decided to give up.

Hoshikawa found a small restaurant by the roadside, went in, ordered a few dishes, and then asked the owner about the story of the nine-tailed fox.

The shopkeeper, sitting at the counter, lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and slowly said, "Legend has it that a nine-tailed fox transformed into a girl and infiltrated the palace, causing a lot of trouble for the people there. Later, her deeds were exposed, and she was taken to Naqi Mountain and executed."

"However, we had been listening to it as just a story until recently when the construction site was destroyed by Foxlight."

Hoshikawa: "Have many people seen Foxlight?"

The store manager shook his head: "Not many people have actually seen it; most people have only heard about it from others."

After the waiter brought out all the dishes, he overheard the two talking about the nine-tailed fox and said mysteriously, "What? I heard that the construction site was sabotaged by explosives planted by their boss."

"The purpose is to use this as a gimmick to attract tourists to stay at his hotel."

Compared to the rumors of the nine-tailed fox's resurrection, what the waiter said seemed more credible.

Since we're already here, Hoshikawa plans to stay for a few days.

······

A girl stands next to the ticket window at the entrance of the arcade in the small town.

At this moment, several teenagers came to the ticket window with laughter and took out money to buy a few tickets.

One of the boys pushed the girl down, saying, "You vixen's daughter, don't block the way."

"What are you doing?" the girl asked, her face full of grievance.

"Who told you to block the entrance? If you can't afford a ticket, just leave! Stop loitering around here all day, pshaw!"

Several teenagers waved the tickets in front of the girl: "See? You could never afford this ticket in your entire life. Let's go."

"I heard that the girl's mother was killed by a vixen."

"Yeah?"

"That's disgusting."

The girl overheard everything the boys said.

She pursed her lips, stood up, brushed the dust off her skirt, and turned to leave.

"Why don't you yell at them?" A cold voice rang out from behind, where Hoshikawa stood with his arms crossed.

Hongxiang: "They...they are telling the truth, Hongxiang is a person full of bad luck."

Xingchuan took out his money to buy two tickets, then took out one and handed it to Hongxiang.

"Hongxiang, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said. Take the ticket, walk through the door, and then walk past those teenagers."

"Tell them to stop looking down on people with their dog-like eyes, and it would be best if they also kept quiet about what they say."

"Never mind, you probably won't say anything, so I'll do it."

Xingchuan stuffed the ticket into Hongxiang's hand and walked into the arcade.

Hongxiang looked at the ticket in her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and entered the arcade.

The boys who had been mocking Hongxiang earlier exclaimed in surprise, "Look, it's that girl! She sneaked in!"

Even now, these people still don't believe that Hongxiang has money to buy a ticket, and they even think that she sneaked in.

One of the boys suggested, "Let's go and kick her out. This isn't a place for vixens."

Before they could cause trouble for Hongxiang, Xingchuan came to them first.

"Calling someone a vixen all the time, didn't your parents teach you how to respect people?"

"Who are you? What business is it of yours how we teach that vixen a lesson?"

Hoshikawa remained silent, simply pulling out his belt, preparing to give the boys in front of him a taste of their childhood memories.

These Showa-era troublemakers are beyond the reach of language.

"If you don't withdraw within the next six seconds, you'll be crying for your parents, or your account will be considered a bomb."
