Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

But that's not a reason either.

The reporters at the press conference will definitely seize on this point.

After all, for them, only trending news is the most important thing.

Therefore, social stability and the overall situation are of no concern to them at all.

The best outcome for Captain Ihara would be suspension and investigation.

However, this usually carefree commander was clearly somewhat protective of his own.

...

"what…"

"So annoying..."

Walking down the busy street, Yuan Huixia looked sullen.

A number of rescue workers were clearing away the debris, and many injured people were being carried into ambulances.

Of course, some of the lightly injured had their wounds treated by medical staff on the spot.

Having experienced such a great disaster, humanity has become more united than ever before.

"Ding ding ding."

"Who would call at this time?"

Yuan Huixia muttered something to himself and took out his phone.

"Ah, Huixia."

A familiar middle-aged male voice came from the other side.

It sounds rather rugged.

"Oh, Dean!"

Yuan Huixia quickly replied.

Yes, the person he was communicating with was the director of the welfare home at the time, who usually took good care of the children.

But speaking of which, the girl from before seemed quite familiar.

A sudden and strange idea.

Yuan Huixia shook his head.

"Oh, is that so? Are you alright? I heard there was a monster where you are?"

The dean's concerned voice was exceptionally clear even through the loudspeaker.

"Everything's fine, it's just a pity that the cheap apartment I finally found was..."

Yuan Huixia felt somewhat helpless.

"Ah... since that's the case..."

"I found you a job, Huixia. You can't be too lazy!"

The dean was somewhat annoyed by his lack of ambition and scolded him.

"Oh, what kind of job is it?"

Yuan Huixia was very perceptive.

I asked what kind of job it was, but I'm not going to take it.

It seems that Yuan Huixia's thoughts were anticipated.

The dean spoke again.

"You've probably heard of UPC, right? They're hiring ground crew there. Um... it's not dangerous, just helping the experienced mechanics check the planes and do routine maintenance..."

"Ha...it sounds like I'm not really suitable."

"Oh, but I heard they provide room and board, and the monthly salary is around 300,000 yen..."

The dean said calmly.

"What?!"

Then he heard a gasp of surprise from the other side.

Sure enough, that kid…

The middle-aged man sitting in the dean's office twitched his lips.

"Then please let me go."

Yuan Huixia's firm voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"Of course. I've sent you the address and interview time, so don't forget, this is a rare opportunity."

The uncle was still worried and gave me some final instructions.

"Oh, there's an interview too... Don't worry."

"Well, it's probably just a formality, considering the scale of the recruitment..."

The dean hesitated for a moment, then said, "No matter what, let's give it a try. If it goes well, at least things will be stable... and I won't have to worry about you coming to borrow money anymore..."

"... "

Yuan Huixia's face darkened: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself, um, that's all."

"Okay, that's all for now."

The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated that Yuan Huixia was going to hang up the phone, so he hung up first.

Yuan Huixia was left listening to the dial tone on his phone, and he helplessly pursed his lips.

As for work…

I've become a shadow of darkness, why should I still go to work?

It's just to fool the dean.

Spark: →_→ Disgusting sense of humor, tsk.

...

"Woooo..."

Yuan Huixia walked down the street, somewhat dejected.

Losing your rented house means you have nowhere to live.

Penniless again...

What should we do now?

Do I really have to go and get a job?

"Working? I'll never work in my life..."

A man with messy hair and peculiar features seemed to appear in Huixia's mind.

"Woooo..."

"Hey Sachiko, if you can't find your mom, you can go find a policeman. What's the point of following me?"

Yuan Huixia was extremely annoyed by the crying.

Helplessly, he turned around and squatted down.

Looking at the human cub in front of me, who was about five or six years old.

"Hoohoo."

"Slurp."

The little girl took a few steps back in alarm, then sniffed hard.

She stared at him with wide, bright eyes, looking at him pitifully.

Her little hands tugged at her dress, and her shoes rubbed and scraped on the ground.

"... "

Seeing the cub acting so awkwardly, Yuan Huixia was at a loss for words.

"Give me back my balloon..."

The little girl bit her lip, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage.

Shy and timid, yet fierce.

"That was really an accident..."

"At worst, I'll just buy you another one."

Yuan Huixia felt somewhat embarrassed.

He was wandering aimlessly when he accidentally bumped into a little girl, causing her balloon to fly away...

They could have easily slipped away.

It turns out I knew this kid...

The little one was trying hard to reach the balloon by raising his little hands, tilting his head back, and jumping upwards with all his might...

And I subconsciously patted the balloon, which caused it to fly even higher...

"I don't want you to pay me back, just give me back the ball from before."

The little girl was breathing softly, her eyes darting around, and she tilted her head to indicate that she was very serious.

"... "

Yuan Huixia's body felt a little stiff.

Should I call Melba out and help you get it down?

"Sachiko..."

"Sachiko?! What are you doing here? You've made your mother so worried!"
