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

"Huh?!" Taiga naturally noticed the subtle difference in his tone. "What's going on? At least show some emotion! This is a cross-universe encounter! I even saved your life!"

This is completely different from what his father said!!!

Kudo Yuuki, leaning on a mop, subconsciously touched his chest: "I don't feel anything." He didn't notice anything different about himself.

"I've been inside your body the whole time, slowly regaining my strength," Taiga stood up, hands on his hips, looking smug. "The day has finally come!"

His demeanor gave Kudo Yuuki a bad feeling; it seemed like he was about to do something big.

"what are you up to?"

"You and I will become heroes! Together we will protect the peace of this planet!" Just like his father did!

Thinking of this, Taiga excitedly raised his arms and ascended directly into the sky.

"Hey, you..." Kudo Yuuki couldn't keep up with his speed, and in the blink of an eye, Taiga's shadow disappeared from his sight.

He turned his head to look around, and was startled by Taiga, who had suddenly grown larger and was standing upside down on the ceiling.

“It’s your honor that I chose you,” Taiga said, arms crossed, looking up at him. “Our fates are intertwined.”

He was like a hot-blooded, immature kid, proudly wanting to become a hero, a powerful and dazzling Ultraman warrior like his father.

But Kudo Yuuki sensed a strong sense of "trouble" in his tone: "Hey, I have my own life to live!"

Just as Taiga was about to say something, he was suddenly interrupted by another voice.

It was a knock on the door.

Kana and the other two, who were also holding brooms or rags, stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the door.

In the end, it was Kudo Yuuki, who was closest to the door, who opened it.

The tea outside the door is red tea.

He was carrying a bag when he saw Kudo Yuuki open the door. He glanced discreetly at the ceiling behind him and casually raised the bag in his hand: "Excuse me, I made some desserts."

Kudo Yuuki was still a little confused when Kana stepped out from behind him, shoved him aside, and greeted Hong Tu: "Ah, Mr. Hong, please come in, please come in!"

All the renters knew that their landlord was a good cook and would occasionally make some food for them.

However, Kudo Yuuki has only been here a short time, so he doesn't know that yet.

He looked on in bewilderment as President Kana warmly welcomed Hong Tu in, while Mirika, standing to the side, had already quite consciously stepped forward to take the bag from Hong Tu's hands.

Even Muneya Yu quickly packed up his cleaning tools and sat down on the table, looking like he couldn't wait.

Just as Kudo Yuuki was about to walk over, he heard Taiga, who had landed on the ceiling beside him, stand next to him and stare intently at Hong Tu: "Who is this guy?"

"He's our landlord, his name is Hong Tu," Kudo Yuuki introduced instinctively.

Upon hearing this name, Taiga immediately felt a sense of impending doom and instinctively took a step back: "Hong Tu?"

Although he didn't like listening to those complicated and tedious history lessons when he was in school at Ultra School, he would subconsciously focus on listening when he heard about the history of the Empire.

Which young O who wants to make a name for himself in the universe doesn't dream of "defeating the tyrannical Dark Lord of the Empire"?

As an Ultraman from the Land of Light, you may not know why Emperor, the ruler of the Dark Empire, intended to plunge the universe into darkness, but you should definitely know the name of the empire's ruler.

Aside from the widely known names "Neg" or "Talos" throughout the universe, his real name is also firmly etched in the memories of many Ultramen.

"Red Tea" is the true name of that Lord of Darkness.

Before even considering defeating Tregear, Taiga had dreamed of defeating Kurenai. However, the reality was that this Lord of Darkness was elusive, either staying hidden in his own territory or remaining untapped even by the Empire. Therefore, Taiga had never truly faced this Lord of Darkness, let alone defeated him. It wouldn't be wise for Taiga to actively attack the Empire's gates; he'd surely get his legs broken by his own father before he could even begin.

But Taiga never expected that he would actually be here! On this Earth! And directly collide with this person! The real Taiga!!!

What? Maybe it's just a different name?!

Impossible! There's a picture of this guy in the textbooks of the Land of Light! There's no mistake, it's that face!

Today's mini-drama:

?

Taro: Taiga, remember this name, remember this face, and run away as soon as you see him!

?

Taiga: Okay, I got it. I'll go and defeat him when I see him!

?

Taro: I'm telling you to run!!!

?

Taiga: Don't worry, Father, I will definitely defeat him!

?

Taro: Taiga!!!

?

Zero: Oh, that's a good dream, junior. That's the kind of awareness you should have!

?

Taiga: Yes!

Chapter 1356 The Heartless Torregia

Chapter 1356 The Heartless Torregia

Taiga was on high alert, while Kudo Yuuki, who knew nothing about it, looked completely bewildered.

He wasn't the type to hide his thoughts, so he glanced at the others who were all enjoying themselves and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

“That guy isn’t human,” Taiga said seriously, “he’s a terrifying one!”

"?"

Scary? Are you sure?!

Kudo Yuuki looked over uncertainly.

Although he didn't have much contact with this landlord, he was certain that he was a good person.

He was gentle and polite, and got along well with everyone. All the residents in the building spoke highly of him. Even a rather cold person like Senior Muneya Yu would subconsciously relax when he saw Hong Tu, not to mention the stray animals that often lingered around the building.

What kind of scary person could be loved by those wary stray animals?

Taiga naturally saw his disbelief and was about to argue when Kana interrupted their conversation.

"Yuuki, what are you still standing there for? If you keep spacing out, the desserts will all be eaten!"

Kudo Yuuki subconsciously responded, then ignored Taiga and walked over to the others.

Meryl handed over a small plate containing a beautifully made chestnut cake that looked absolutely delicious.

"Mr. Hong's culinary skills are a unique specialty of our building!" Meilihua praised highly.

Kana and Muneya Homare, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement, holding plates in their hands and stuffing snacks in their mouths, looking like they didn't have time to talk.

Kudo Yuuki glanced at the group and then at the cake in his hand, ignoring Taiga's warning to "not be careless," and took a bite of the cake.

His expression changed in an instant, beyond words, but his actions betrayed everything.

He almost couldn't wait to take the second bite, completely ignoring Taiga, who was the only one who could see him.

Taiga: "!!!" How could you be so easily bribed with a piece of cake to defect to the enemy?!

While everyone's attention was on the desserts, Hong Tu turned her gaze to Taiga, who was jumping up and down next to Kudo Yuuki.

He poured himself a glass of water and gave Taiga, who noticed his gaze, a cryptic smile.

Taiga: "!" Is this guy provoking me? Is he?!

But no matter what Taiga did next, Hong Tu seemed not to see him at all and did not react at all. On the contrary, Kudo Yuuki was really annoyed by him and couldn't help but mutter a retort to him.

This made Taiga even angrier, so he simply disappeared to avoid seeing or worrying about it.

Hongtu subtly curled the corners of her lips, using the cup as a cover.

Tsk, he really is a child, even more childish than Zero was back then.

I don't know how Torregia could do such a thing; he's utterly heartless.

After secretly cursing Toregia for being heartless, Hongtu brought up a serious matter after everyone had finished eating.

"Actually, I have a small favor to ask of you today."

After finishing the cake, Kana, who was drinking tea, suddenly perked up. She put her teacup on the table, straightened her back, and stared at Hongtu with shining eyes, as if she were looking at something... a sugar daddy?

Silently erasing the "sucker" label from her mind, Hong Tu's smile remained unchanged: "It's like this, a week ago I participated in a lucky draw, and the prize was supposed to be delivered today. But last night I received a call from the organizer, saying that my prize might be targeted by someone, because someone tried to steal it yesterday. Fortunately, the security guard noticed in time and scared the other party away."

"So it's an escort mission?" Kana understood the details of his request. "You're guessing that the thief will try to steal something again during the transport?"

Hong Tu nodded: "Yes, in terms of value, it should be considered a rather valuable item. If the other party insists on wanting it, the best opportunity to make a move is probably during transportation."

"Can you tell me what it is?" Kana asked tentatively.

Generally, if the client intends to keep it confidential, they won't ask too many questions. However, sometimes they know exactly what they are transporting in order to better protect it.

“There’s nothing I can’t say,” Hong Tu smiled. “It’s just a slightly more exquisite gemstone.”

"A gemstone, a prize?" Meryl was stunned. Forgetting her teacup, she hurriedly put it on the table and leaned forward to drink the red tea. "The lottery a week ago... could it have been a charity lottery organized by the Field Company?!"

Hong Tu blinked: "Ah, you know about Meilihua too?"

Meryl's eyes widened: "Mr. Red is that super lucky winner who won the first prize?!?"

The others were completely bewildered, but after a moment of confusion, Ke Nai realized what was going on.

"Field's charity raffle?"

That global charity event?

Kudo Yuuki and Muneyoshi Homare exchanged a glance, still not understanding what they were talking about.
