I'm just an internet cafe owner

These days, they can watch TV together, eat together, read books together, and travel together. She feels that this life is really happy and blissful.

While the two stayed at home, Itsuka Shido arrived at the location where the new spirit had appeared.

"Where is it?"

Itsuka Shido searched around, unsure if he could persuade the other party. However, it wasn't a big problem. Following Toyama-senpai's teachings, he would first beat the other party up, crushing them with overwhelming power before trying to reason with them.

"Clap, clap."

Just as Itsuka Shido was searching, the crisp sound of splashing water caught his attention. Following the direction of the sound...

Looking over, a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a green cloak with rabbit ears, was splashing in the puddles in the heavy rain.

"Ok?"

Sensing Itsuka Shido's gaze, the girl named Yoshino looked over.

But because she was distracted, she suddenly fell down.

The doll in his hand fell to the side with the movement, and Itsuka Shido walked over to Yoshino, picked up the white doll, and handed it to the girl who had stood up.

"Are you okay?"

Yoshino took the hand from Yoshina and shook her head vigorously. Just as she was about to turn and run away, Itsuka Shido grabbed her hand.

Chapter 448 Itsuka Shido: Let me tell you a secret, I can transform into Ultraman Tiga (Bonus Chapter)

"You are an elf, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Yoshino's eyes changed, while Yoshina, who was on her left, spoke up: "Yes~ We are, spirits~ Hey bro, are you here to kill us too?"

"If I say no, would you believe me?"

"If you don't believe me, your murderous aura tells me that you've killed many people."

"If I said I've never killed anyone in real life, would you believe me or not?"

"I don't believe you! Yoshino, be careful, he's a bad guy."

"You may think I'm a bad person, but I've never killed anyone."

"Yoshino! He's going to kill us."

In that instant, Yoshino activated her spirit's power. A giant rabbit suddenly appeared beneath their feet.

The Ice Puppet is one of Yoshino's spirit abilities. Yoshino joked, but this giant rabbit had no intention of killing Itsuka Shido; she merely wanted to expel him.

However, as the puppet appeared, Itsuka Shido sighed: "As expected, Toyama-senpai was right. Words are always powerless. I'm sorry, little sister, don't blame big brother for being ruthless."

When Itsuka Shido says he's killed too many people, he doesn't mean he's killed real people, but rather monsters in the game. However, since he's just an ordinary person with little combat talent, and he's recently killed quite a few demons in the game, the thought of fighting makes him unconsciously exude a murderous aura that can be misinterpreted.

Although he has killed a lot of demons and monsters, in reality, the most Itsuka Shido has ever killed is a chicken. He has never killed a person, let alone injured one.

It's normal for this level of killing intent to be misunderstood, but since Yoshino has already made a move, he has decided not to hide it anymore.

With the Yamato in hand, it costs 100,000 yen per second to activate the skill.

Dimensional Slash!

In that instant, the giant rabbit summoned by Yoshino was instantly destroyed. At the same time, Itsuka Shido grabbed Yoshino's hand and forcefully pulled her towards him.

"Yoshino! We're going to die!"

Yoshina felt she was doomed this time. The power of the person in front of her was too strange. All the Pokémon's power was severed in an instant, and even the spatial quake was severed.

At this moment, Itsuka Shido sighed: "Do I look that much like a bad guy? Why do you all think I'm here to kill you? It seems that Toyama-senpai's words made sense; I should beat you up first."

"what are you up to?"

Yoshino sensed something was wrong and instinctively took a few steps back, but because her hand was grabbed, she couldn't escape.

"To deal with bad kids, you have to discipline them."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Shido Itsuka grabbed Yoshino's hand and slapped the back of her hand with moderate force. At that moment, Yoshino's eyes reddened, and Yoshina, who was a doll, was shocked.

"This person is a pervert. Yoshino, I failed to protect you."

Yoshino cried. Seeing the crying little girl, Itsuka Shido hardened his heart and continued hitting her. However, Itsuka Shido didn't notice that Yoshino was crying not because of pain. Although his hits hurt a little, it was only a little; the warmth far outweighed the pain.

"I told you, I don't kill people, do you believe me?"

Yoshina: "I don't believe it!"

Itsuka Shido: "Believe it or not?"

Yoshina: "I don't believe it!"

Yoshino said she didn't believe it, and then she got beaten.

Yoshino felt strange at this moment. Even though the older brother in front of her was bullying her, she felt a strange sense of security.

At the same time, this scene gave her a sense of déjà vu, as if her mother had treated her similarly when she was very young. It seemed…

The slap on the back of her hand only hurt a little; Yoshino didn't feel much discomfort. Holding her hand felt warm, as if her mother were scolding her. Even though she was being hit, she was lost in memories.

And what about Yoshino? She's still being stubborn. Although she's protecting Yoshino, she's also realized that the guy in front of her won't hurt her, so she starts arguing with Itsuka Shido.

Admit defeat? There's no way Yoshino would admit defeat in this lifetime! If Itsuka Shido hasn't killed anyone, Yoshino should eat a pound of blood! It admits that the person in front of it might not be trying to harm Yoshino, but it dares to say that Itsuka Shido has definitely killed someone! This is a matter of principle, and even force cannot make Yoshino violate her principles!

However, just as one was "beating up" a stubborn person and another was reminiscing, the AST members appeared in the sky. Their target was the Spirits, and sensing their presence, Yoshina, the doll, gaped open.

"Ooh ho~ The enemy is here, are you one of them, bro?"

"No, if I said I came here to protect you, would you believe me?"

Yoshina shook her head: "I..."

Before it could utter a word, Yoshino broke free from her reverie.

Come here. She didn't know why she felt a sense of familiarity, but she didn't dislike the person in front of her, especially when Itsuka Shido said he would protect her, she felt her heart race.

"Big brother... are you really going to protect Yoshino?"

Yoshino used all her strength to say those words.

Although her strength had just been cut off and her hand had been grabbed and hit, the warmth of that large hand amidst the pain reminded her of her mother, even though she couldn't remember what her mother looked like, even though she had forgotten her experiences with her mother.

But the slight stinging sensation on the back of her hand made her unconsciously shed tears.

"Yes, I'm here to protect you and keep you from harm. At the same time, I'm also here to protect them and prevent them from dying because of the foolish orders from higher-ups. They are just 'ordinary people'; they have people they love, dreams for the future, and people waiting for them to come home. They are just soldiers who obey orders, not desperados. And you are the elf who needs protection. None of you are at fault, so let me protect you."

"With your weird weapon?"

Yoshino asked, "That weapon is incredibly powerful; it instantly killed the puppets Yoshino summoned. But this weapon is too strong; one strike and all of them would die."

Shido Itsuka looked at Yoshina and said, "No! Actually, I'll tell you a secret."

"what?"

"I can become Ultraman Tiga!"

"?"

At the same time, Origami also discovered Itsuka Shido with the spirit. She wanted Itsuka Shido to leave quickly, but then she saw a strange scene.

Suddenly, Itsuka Shido pulled out a toy Spark Prism from somewhere, mimicked Daigo's transformation pose, and shouted loudly.

"Tiga!!!"

While shouting this phrase, he spent a large sum of money to buy the right to transform into Ultraman Tiga.

Yoshino rubbed her eyes. She saw...light?

The warmth of the light made her instinctively reach out her hand; she wanted to touch the light.

Closer, closer...

Yoshino caught the light, and as the light faded, she could see the light's appearance clearly.

Not only Yoshino, but everyone from AST who gathered around also saw light on this rainy day. That light was so warm and so reassuring.

Chapter 449 Itsuka Shido's Dream

Ultraman tokusatsu dramas exist in this world, but everyone, including Gen X, knows that Ultraman is fake, it's tokusatsu, it's a hoax.

And now suddenly Ultraman appears? And this Ultraman looks... so reassuring.

Shido Itsuka transforms into Ultraman not to take people away, but to use Ultraman's powerful abilities to accomplish what he needs to do.

As light, and in its blue form, Tiga moved so fast that no one or any machine present could catch a glimpse of it.

Shido Itsuka did not harm them; he simply crushed all the machines on their bodies and simultaneously placed the girl in mid-air to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all the equipment of the dozens of people was destroyed. Their so-called defensive measures were no match for the power of Tiga's aerial form.

When it came to the part about Rinichi Origami, Itsuka Shido paused for a moment.

"Shido..."

With only a brief pause, Itsuka Shido crushed her equipment and landed on the ground with Rinichi Origami in his arms. However, as he prepared to leave, he discovered that Rinichi Origami was clinging to him tightly and refusing to let go.

"Luan Yi, is it alright if we talk about this at school tomorrow?"

Hearing that familiar voice in her mind, she couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence.

In an instant, the entire AST force was rendered combat ineffective. Yes, this ineffectiveness wasn't limited to Yoshito and its surrounding areas, but encompassed the entire city, including all the weapons and equipment of its members.

After doing all that, he returned to Yoshino's side and picked her up in a princess carry.

"I told you, I would protect you, please believe me. Also, I have never killed anyone."

At this moment, both Yoshino and Yoshina fell silent. Especially Yoshino, the feeling of being surrounded by light made her feel at ease, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and hug "Tiga".

"Um…"

Without saying anything more, he simply agreed. Confirming that the girl had no means of resistance, Itsuka Shido carried her back to his front door and deactivated his transformation.

However, after transforming, Itsuka Shido felt a pang of inner turmoil.

"Looks like I'll have to work even harder to earn money..."

Shido Itsuka is just an ordinary high school student, and he can't beat many games on the highest difficulty. All he can do is use money to buy power.

He made a fortune as a middleman, but thinking it was enough, he used much of it for other things. The money he earned these days was only enough for a few seconds of drawing his sword and transforming into Ultraman. For the rest of the time, Itsuka Shido was mortgaging his lifespan.

Although he could take back this lifespan, he was still a little terrified when he saw that he only had a few years left to live.
