Ultraman: I Really Didn't Want to Rule the World

“It’s getting late,” Hong Tu asked gentlemanly. “Would I have the honor of escorting this beautiful lady home?”

"Thank you for your trouble, Tu Jun." The woman said shyly, her cheeks flushed.

“Then, let’s go.” Hong Tu smiled, a flash of red light appearing briefly in his pure black eyes. But the woman, who had her head down, didn’t notice.

The two walked side by side, like a well-matched couple, down the street.

The man was handsome and gentle, the woman graceful and dignified. They truly seemed like a perfect couple.

Matsushita was walking when he suddenly stopped and looked at a convenience store in the distance.

Following her gaze, Hong Tu saw the shop and asked considerately, "You must be thirsty after walking for so long. Would you like something to drink?"

"No, no!" The woman waved her hand, but her expression held a hint of longing.

Hong Tu's smile deepened: "Juice, or coffee?"

"Juice will do," Matsushita said softly, bowing his head.

"Please wait a moment." Hong Tu nodded and walked towards the convenience store.

Matsushita kept watching his retreating figure until Hong Tu entered the convenience store, at which point she turned away, her expression turning cold: "How did it go?"

An old woman in a kimono emerged from the darkness beside her and bowed respectfully: "The Victory Team is nearby."

But Ultraman Tiga isn't here.

Upon hearing that the most important person was absent, Matsushita frowned: "What happened?"

"Our overheard information is that Ultraman Tiga drew a lot and has to stay at headquarters."

"???" What? Tiga drew lots and stayed at the base?! Seriously?!

Forget it

"The captain of the Victory Team is enough. I've already drawn the darkness in." Matsushita chuckled coldly. "Remember to lure her over!"

"Yes!" the old woman said, then retreated back into the darkness and finally disappeared.

Matsushita also reverted to her shy, girlish demeanor.

Hong Tu then came out of the convenience store, carrying two cans of drinks, one of juice and one of soda. He ran up to the woman and handed her the juice.

Matsushita took the juice, her face slightly flushed: "Tu-kun, could you accompany me for a stroll around the city?"

Hong Tu opened the soda can, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow: "Of course, it's my pleasure."

So the two of them started taking another aimless walk.

The tranquility was shattered by a sharp scream.

"That...that sounds like my wet nurse's voice!" Matsushita's face turned pale, and he instinctively grabbed Xiang Hongtu's hand.

The young man subtly raised his hand, avoiding her outstretched hand, but the woman grabbed his sleeve instead.

"Let's go take a look." Hong Tu nodded, gave her a reassuring smile, and walked over there.

Chapter 73 Who told you to mess with them?

Megumi grabbed the arm that was wrapped around her neck, forced it to separate, and threw the person on her back off.

The alien that was clinging to her immediately reverted to its human form and, without any resistance, was thrown to the ground, letting out a sharp scream.

Megumi Kijima was dressed in plain clothes and had no gun on her. After throwing the person away, she immediately took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, this alien who had previously been plotting something suddenly turned into a human old woman, acting like a victim, lying on the ground and groaning in pain. She did not press her advantage.

She instinctively sensed something was wrong, and then heard a woman rushing over in a panic: "Wet nurse! Wet nurse!"

Jujian Hui frowned, about to speak, when she saw the woman turn her head and accuse her angrily: "How could you hurt my wet nurse!"

Carrying the young man on her back, the woman's face turned golden for a moment, resembling a human face mask.

When Izayoi saw the terrifying sight, she instinctively took a few steps back and reached for her waist. When she found nothing, she realized that she was not carrying her sidearm.

After watching the show to her heart's content, Hong Tu ran over and helped the old woman up from the ground: "Are you alright?"

At first, Megumi didn't recognize him. When she saw him come to help, she instinctively stopped him, saying, "Leave them! They're not from Earth!"

"Huh?" Hong Tu finally looked up.

Captain Megumi frowned, recognizing Hong Tu, but still said, "They're not human! They're aliens!"

Hong Tu blinked and nodded: "I know."

Everyone:

Megumi: "???" You know that?!

Matsushita: "???" Were we exposed from the very beginning?!

Grandma: "Should I still pretend?"

Hong Tu released the old woman, stood up, and greeted Ju Jian Hui with a smile: "Captain Ju Jian Hui, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Seeing that things were not going well, Matsushita and the old woman quietly stood up, intending to run away.

These two weren't stupid; they had a pretty good idea that Hong Tu had figured out their intentions. They also knew that, given the neurotic tendencies typical of those who wielded dark power, this person was probably toying with them by letting them put on an act.

Their fate is predictable. So, while the captain of the Victory Team is still present and the monster dares not make any rash moves, running away is the best course of action.

Hongtu and Jujian Hui certainly wouldn't let them get away like that.

Before Megumi could give chase, she saw a dark shadow flash before her eyes.

Hong Tu caught up with the two and kicked them both away.

The two "humans" were stripped of their disguises, and upon landing, they revealed two inhuman faces.

Their skin is golden, their heads are shaped like the sun, but their expressions are very stiff, like masks.

This was the first time Captain Megumi had witnessed Red Tea fighting aliens firsthand, and she truly understood what Staff Officer Yoshioka had said: Red Tea's combat power was formidable.

It happened so fast that no one could react in time. The two aliens were lying on the ground, clutching their stomachs, and it seemed they couldn't get up.

Hong Tu stretched his shoulders, walked over to the two aliens, and asked with a smile, "So, what do you want from going to such lengths to get close to me?"

The young man had his back to Megumi, and his eyes gleamed with an ominous red light.

This scene looked very familiar, just like when the woman carried the young man on her back and did it to Megumi Kijima.

Upon hearing this, Megumi frowned and took out her communicator: "Daigo? Daigo! Please respond if you receive this!"

However, all the communication devices displayed was static, and they couldn't reach headquarters at all.

Daigo, who was at headquarters, was working on his computer, typing away, trying to contact the captain and the others.

"Hmm? Daigo, what's wrong?" Lina, her face flushed from drinking, answered Daigo's call in a daze.

"Lina, there was a strange magnetic field over there just now!" Daigo said seriously. "It suddenly shifted, and I can't get the captain's signal anymore!"

"Captain? The captain just took an old lady to the hospital. Hehehe." Lina looked around in a daze, slowly recalling that the captain had just taken an old lady who had suddenly fallen ill to the hospital.

Zongfang, who had been slumped over the table after being given a drink, immediately looked up when he heard someone mention the captain, his face flushed: "Captain?"

"It seems the captain hasn't returned yet," Shinjo barely managed to stay awake, realizing that the captain hadn't come back.

Hori? Hori, clutching a bottle of liquor, was already completely dizzy.

"Oh no!" Seeing that these drunkards were all dizzy and confused, Daigo immediately realized what was going on.

That magnetic field just now moved with the captain, so it's likely that some kind of monster or something is targeting him.

He immediately grabbed his helmet and ran outside.

The two aliens looked at each other, nodded, and a dazzling light emanated from them.

Hong Tu remained expressionless, but Ju Jian Hui shielded her eyes with her hand because of the bright light.

Suddenly, Hong Tu narrowed her eyes, grabbed Ju Jian Hui's arm with one hand, and pulled her away into the distance.

After the bright light faded, what appeared in the same spot was an enlarged version of an alien.

If Hong Tu hadn't pulled her back, Ju Jian Hui would be at the monster's feet right now.

Daigo was in the car when he saw the giant monster from afar. He immediately stopped the car, took out his Spark Lens, and transformed into Ultraman Tiga.

Once Hong Tu saw that Tiga had appeared and it was safe, she released Kijima Megumi and looked up to see that Tiga was already fighting the monster.

"Captain Megumi, are you alright?" Hong Tu, seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, came to check on Captain Megumi beside her.

"It's nothing." Captain Megumi shook her head and smiled. "I just didn't expect you to be so amazing."

"I'm just a little better at fighting," Hong Tu smiled shyly. "And it just so happens that they weren't on guard."

"You said before that you already knew they weren't from Earth?" Captain Megumi's expression turned serious. "Could you elaborate?"

“Of course. I met Miss Matsushita the day before yesterday.” Hong Tu began to recount the whole story. “Its intention to approach me was too obvious. It was easy to see that it had ulterior motives.”

I just didn't expect it to be an alien.

It wasn't until we met again today that I realized something was wrong. You know, I deal with these kinds of people all the time, so after a few words, I could tell that this person didn't seem to be from Earth.

After all, no one takes romance novels as reality.

That's right, these two aliens must have read too many romance novels on Earth to come up with this strategy.

They seduced Hong Tu, making her fall in love with them, and finally plotted to turn Hong Tu and the Victory Team against each other.

Honestly, this script is incredibly melodramatic.

While the two were talking, Tiga's battle with the monster was nearing its end. After throwing the monster away, Tiga used the Zepellion Ray to end its life.

Megumi was drawn to the sound of the explosion, and when she turned around, she found that the people around her had disappeared.

After searching around twice, Ji Jianhui finally realized with dismay that the person had indeed run away.

Tiga transformed back into Daigo and immediately went to find the captain.

"team leader!"

"Daigo?" Megumi looked at Daigo running towards her, somewhat surprised. "What's this?"

"I noticed an unusual magnetic field, so I came to check it out, and just then I saw Tiga defeat the monster," Daigo explained, adding at the end, "What happened?"

Megumi shook her head: "It's nothing, the monster has been dealt with." After saying that, she smiled at Daigo, "Since you're here, let's go together."
