Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　The three of them came to sit in the RING store. Originally, Aiyin wanted to discuss the band matters with Lixi, but now it seems that they have to solve the lighting problem first.

　"Let's take the initiative. Deng has shown interest in this strange organization. We'd better find out its true identity first."

　"Wait? Chihaya Aine, you are being silly, don't treat reality like a movie or anime. If you get into danger, I can't save you."

　"No problem, I have a secret weapon."

　Chihaya Aine is full of confidence. Her secret weapon is not the fact that she is the human form of Ultraman. No matter what, it is impossible for her to become Ultraman and hurt humans.

　"You're so confident, why did you end up lying half-dead in the ICU for so long?"

　"Um...can you please not bring this up?"

　"No, that's not right. Keep the lights on for me in school. Don't let her come into contact with anything weird."

　"Okay~~!"

　Stand

　Xi's worries are not wrong. Don't apply the high school student protagonists in movies and animations to yourself, or you will die countless times without knowing it.

　But Chihaya Aine still cared a lot about this matter, so she decided to investigate it secretly. Of course, she had to disguise her identity well and must not cause trouble to her family and friends around her.

　Anyway, if I'm alone and encounter any unexpected situation, I can call Mephilas to help.

　Mefilas is indifferent to other Earthlings, but he will definitely not refuse Aine's request.

　Volume 1: 63. Spider-Man, Go!

　"But you have to disguise yourself first."

　Chihaya Aine is not the stupid heroine in a weird anime who carelessly ran to participate in an activity of unknown origin, and ended up being targeted by people with ulterior motives. She dropped her student ID card and someone picked it up, and finally she was threatened to do strange things.

　Aine would never make such a low-level and stupid mistake, so she turned around and went to Uniqlo to buy some new clothes.

　Not long after, Chihaya Aine, who wore a dark style, appeared on the stage. She was wearing the recently popular mine-style girl outfit, and her long, smooth, pink hair was tied into two ponytails, which was very similar to Toyokawa Shoko's hairstyle.

　Finally, a black mask is put on the mouth, and the reproduction of Chihaya Aine of the Dark Mine type is completed.

　"It's quite cute like this."

　Aine took a selfie in front of the dressing mirror in Uniqlo. It turns out that a naturally beautiful girl looks good no matter how she dresses, Aine thought happily.

　After completing the change of clothes, you can go to the destination for investigation. According to the address on the flyer, it is in the Jiangdong District.

　After taking the subway to this area, Chihaya Aine realized that this place looked familiar, as if she had been there before.

　"By the way, the aquarium I went to last time with Deng and the others is nearby."

　Kasai Rinkai Aquarium in Koto Ward, Tokyo, Japan, is the aquarium where Aine and the others went to see penguins last time.

　Now disguised as a landmine-type girl, Aine arrived not far from the aquarium.

　To be more precise, it was the place where Ultraman and Metron fought under the sunset, so Aine had a sense of déjà vu.

　The Metrons once kidnapped many Earthlings and took them to a warehouse in this place, forcing them to do some strange work, such as leading the rhythm and publishing hate declarations on the Internet.

　After Aine transformed into Ultraman, rescued these people, and defeated the Metron aliens, the matter came to an end.

　But now, a lot of people have gathered in the same place: tired office workers, unhappy housewives, bad guys with colorful hair... It feels like there are all kinds of people here.

　"Miss, you look so cute, take off your mask and play with us."

　Chihaya Aine, who had just arrived at this place, was unsurprisingly targeted by gangsters with ulterior motives. It seemed that girls with a landmine-type personality were more likely to become targets. Was Aine's disguise too successful, or too unsuccessful?

　"Sorry, I'm not interested. Stay away from me."

　"Come on, we all gathered here because we like monsters, let's make friends."

　When a gangster stretched out his hand to grab Chihaya Aine's hand, a strong hand grabbed the gangster's hand and almost twisted it off.

　"Didn't you hear others say they didn't want to?"

　"it hurts!"

　The gangster pulled his hand back in pain and glared fiercely at the woman who was in the way. The woman was wearing a black hat, sunglasses and a black mask on her face.

　"You bastard woman, do you want to be beaten?"

　"Then come."

　The woman in the black hat hooked her finger, and the thug who was looking for trouble could not stand such provocation and rushed up to attack her.

　Then, in less than ten seconds, all these provocative thugs were beaten to the ground by the woman in the black hat.

　"Bravo!"

　Aiyin was surprised. It was the first time she had seen a woman with such extraordinary skills. If you said that this person was an alien, Aiyin would believe it.

　However, after Aine took a closer look, she found that she seemed to know the woman in the black hat. Although the other party had disguised her identity to a certain extent, she was still no match for Aine's sharp eyes.

　"Are you Chuhua?"

　"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

　Sankaku Hatsuka, in disguise, brought Chihaya Aine, who was also disguised as a landmine girl, to a deserted corner, which was suitable for communication and conversation.

　"Wait, Chuhua, why are you here in a place like this?"

　"I should be the one asking you this. I followed you here."

　"Follow me?"

　Aiyin was confused. She was not Toyokawa Shoko, so why was Sankaku Hatsuka following her?

　As if realizing that his words were a bit inappropriate, Sanjiao Chuhua explained again.

　"I'm

　I saw you shopping at Uniqlo and wanted to say hello, but then I saw you changed into some rather unconventional clothes and wore a mask, so I was curious about what you were going to do.

　"What a coincidence~!"

　Aiyin scratched her head feeling a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she was seen by Sanjiao Chuhua. Since that was the case, she didn't hide it and told the truth directly.

　"I heard some of my classmates talking about monster worship at school, and then I saw a flyer for the Monster Friends Club, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity."

　"So what are you dressed like?"

　"You can't just come here directly. For a strange gathering like this, you must conceal your identity."

　"Should I say you are cautious or bold?"

　Sanjiao Chuhua was speechless. No wonder Xiaoxiang said that Chihaya Aine followed her and ended up in the ICU.

　Since the KTV team-building that day, the contact between Sankaku Chuhua and Toyokawa Shoko has become more frequent. Chuhua also knew that Aine was admitted to the ICU ward, but she was not that familiar with Aine, so she did not come to visit her.

　Today I ran into Chihaya Aine's Mikado Hatsuka on the street. From her actions, I could tell that Aine is a girl who is really full of initiative and curiosity.

　"I didn't expect that Chuhua, as an idol, you are so good at fighting. You are really amazing."

　"I'm an islander, and I've loved running around on the island since I was little, so my physical fitness is better than the average person."

　"Um...indeed."

　It's not surprising at all that there's a sports student named Chihaya Aine from Hanaoka, and a sports student named Sankaku Hatsuka from Hanasakigawa.

　Look at her, she can jump down from the third floor and do several somersaults in a row without any damage, this is the strength of Hanasakigawa, an athlete.

　"But this place doesn't look very safe. Aine, you should go back early."

　"Since we're here, let's investigate the situation before leaving. I took the risk of investigating this 'Monster Friends Club' so that my classmates wouldn't be led astray."

　"Oh... okay."

　Chihaya Aine is indebted to Mikado Chuhua. Thanks to her matchmaking, Chuhua was able to reconnect with Xiaoxiang, so Chuhua cannot sit idly by and watch Aine's adventurous behavior.

　Volume 1: Chapter 64: Your disguise is good, but your figure is exposed

　"Come to think of it, Chuhua, how did you recognize me? I felt like I disguised myself pretty well."

　Aine was a little curious. She was dressed like a landmine girl and was wearing a mask. Even her mother might not be able to recognize her. But she was recognized by Sanjiao Chuhua. It was really strange.

　"She's really good in drag, but her figure is still pretty easy to recognize."

　"..."

　Are you polite? Aiyin cursed in her heart. She hated it most when others talked about her figure. It’s not a big deal to have a good figure!

　Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Chu Hua took the initiative to apologize.

　"Sorry, I didn't mean to. Actually, you have a pretty good figure, very slim, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight."

　"Chuhua, you'd better not say that..."

　Aiyin felt very disappointed. You said you should apologize, but why did you also take the opportunity to make trouble?

　Let’s put aside this little daily topic and return to the main topic. Aine and Hatsuka came to this very suspicious "Monster Friends Club".

　As the name suggests, this is a film that spreads the idea that only monsters and aliens can save humanity. It declares that monsters will come and destroy humanity's current social system, and only aliens can lead humanity to a better future.

　Simply put, it is a group of people who are unhappy with their lives and are attracted by an illusory idea and gathered together. Isn't this a cult?

　However, the difference from cults is that monsters and aliens really exist, and this is already a well-known fact.

　"Rather than relying on monsters to save humanity, it's better to rely on Ultraman."

　After hearing about the things that the "Monster Friends Club" was promoting, Sankaku Hatsuka couldn't help but complain, and Aine beside him shook her head.

　"How is that possible? Ultraman would never do such a thing."

　"Why? Isn't Ultraman also an alien?"

　Chuhua was a little puzzled. Judging from the words of the alien Nacker who took the initiative to challenge Ultraman at Tokyo Skytree, Ultraman was also an alien from outside the earth, but Ultraman had been protecting mankind on Earth.

　Compared to those aliens of unknown origin and monsters that destroy the earth's cities, Ultraman, who has good intentions towards humans, is the one who is more worthy of trust.

　"because...."

　Chihaya Aine thought about it and felt that this question was not easy to answer. It was impossible for her to tell everything she knew, so she could only answer from her own perspective.

　"Because this is strange, isn't it? Humans themselves have no way to change reality, yet they rely on Ultraman to save them. Isn't this behavior no different from praying to the gods?"

　"Perhaps to humans, Ultraman is like a god."

　"But Ultraman is not a god, Ultraman is a spaceman, it should be the same as us.

　They can get hurt and die, too."

　Chihaya Aine said seriously that humans are too blindly worshipping of Ultraman, and this behavior is absolutely unacceptable.

　"Maybe you're right."

　Chu Hua nodded. She didn't care much about this kind of thing. Monsters? Aliens? Not as important as Xiao Xiang's message!

　Now that we are here, we must investigate thoroughly and find out the truth behind this "Weird Friends Club".

　By chatting with the people gathered here, Chihaya Aine collected a lot of information, and Intelligence Aine appeared.

　But... as Aine analyzed the information she had collected piece by piece, the more she analyzed, the more she felt something was not right.

　"The founder of this "Monster Friends Club" is a man named Taro Kobayashi."

　"What's wrong, Aine, do you know this man?"

　"Maybe they know each other..."

　Chihaya Aine had a strange expression on her face, and seeing that Sankaku Hatsuka was equally curious, she began to explain.

　"In this place, there was an incident where aliens kidnapped Earthlings. It was done by an alien called Metron."

　"At that time, there was a man who assisted the aliens in kidnapping humans. That man's name was Taro Kobayashi."

　"Are you saying that the person who founded the "Monster Friends Club" is the same person who assisted the aliens in kidnapping humans?"

　Chuhua asked and Aine nodded.

　"That should be right. There are many people with the same name, but there are not many who happen to have the same name by such a coincidence."

　"But this is very strange."

　The Metron kidnapping incident did not seem to cause much of a stir, but Chihaya Aine was more concerned about the impact of aliens, so she knew more about the matter.

　The Earthling who assisted Metron was named Taro Kobayashi. After Metron was defeated by Ultraman and "left the Earth", Taro Kobayashi was also arrested by the police.

　Logically speaking, this person should have been sentenced to life imprisonment, but he has been released and has not even changed his name to conceal his identity, and is carrying out this kind of activity openly.

　It seems outrageous that his criminal past is not a stain but a symbol of honor.
