Ultraman, is this defense team up with you?

Yoko stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Cheng.

"Oh, it's nothing. You meant well. I forgive you."

Ye Cheng has gotten used to this woman's straightforwardness. On the contrary, it would be strange for Ye Cheng if she didn't help Huimei expose the scumbag.

Then Ye Cheng answered Hui Mei's previous question.

"About this... I was sleeping very soundly, so I can't really guarantee it, but I definitely didn't feel anything unusual when I woke up, and the vice-captain isn't a bad woman."

And she still says she's not a bad woman!

You've already gotten yourself to speak up for her, isn't that a bad thing?

Hye-mi rolled her eyes. "Shameless!"

"Hey, watch your mouth." Ye Cheng had already made his point clear.

If Huimei continues to attack him, then all his explanations will have been in vain, and they probably won't be able to remain brothers.

"I'm talking about that bad woman."

Despite gritting her teeth, Huimei quickly offered an explanation.

"Oh, that's alright then." Ye Cheng was relieved.

"That's not right either. I told you not to attack the vice-captain like that. She's actually a very nice person."

She helps Ye Cheng keep his secrets, and while she has a strong curiosity, she won't use the greater good to blackmail him (according to her own words). She seems like a good woman no matter how you look at it.

However, when a woman sees a man she's interested in defending another woman, especially in person, it will naturally backfire.

"Tsk tsk, you said nothing happened, but you're feeling sorry for them now."

"Forget it, if you get hit, don't blame me for not warning you."

To be honest, with Hui Mei's small stature, if she really ran into Carmilla, she would probably be pinned down and pulled around one-sidedly, and even if she threw both fists, she wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on Carmilla's head.

Oh no, I mean, it could hit her chest; after all, Carmilla's figure certainly gives her the strength she needs.

But... that makes it even more heartbreaking.

Hui Mei inflicted physical damage, but suffered mental damage in return. Thinking of this, Ye Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Hui Mei tilted her head, her dead fish eyes staring directly at Ye Cheng, who was laughing heartlessly.

"I have a feeling that you're thinking about something very impolite?"

"No, absolutely not." Ye Cheng repeatedly crossed his hands in front of his chest and waved them.

Chapter 23 The Battle for the Top Spot and Visitors from Outer Space!

"Yoko, what do you think is the relationship between Megumin and Makoto?" Asuna whispered gossipingly.

"We're friends, didn't you hear Hye-mi's explanation?"

Asuna: “…”

Just because she says no doesn't mean it isn't! You actually believe her?!

Well, she's an idiot too, actually being stupid enough to ask Yoko, a complete idiot when it comes to love, about topics related to love.

There's nothing we can do; she'll just have to bear this alone.

Asuna has never met Carmilla, so she doesn't know how compatible she is with Ye Cheng.

But judging from the joyful interaction between Ye Cheng and Hui Mei, the two do seem to have a bit of a bickering couple vibe, which is quite endearing.

Asuna, who had been quietly observing the drama, was completely engrossed in the ship, until...

"I'm done eating!"

Yoko loudly proclaimed that she was number one in rice-eating!

Compared to Ye Cheng and Hui Mei, who had barely eaten anything, she was really diligently and earnestly eating.

She has to work hard; she's been battling Ye Cheng all day and is really starving.

Asuna then noticed that Yoko, who was quietly eating, had noticeably increased her eating speed compared to usual.

Something seems off.

Having already become obsessed with shipping couples, Asuna suddenly began to doubt her best friend.

Speaking of which, Yoko seems to have mentioned wanting to marry someone stronger than herself, so...

hiss!

But Yoko, you're going to become a loser if you do this!

If Yoko knew what Asuna was thinking, she would definitely tell her she was overthinking it.

What Asuna didn't know was that Yoko preferred mature men, and the older and more mature a man was, the more attractive she found him.

Ye Cheng is at most about the same age as Yoko.

If it's just because of combat strength, it might at most raise the heart rate slightly above average.

But since Asuna didn't ask, she naturally had no way of knowing.

For Asuna, although Yoko and Emi are both members of the intelligence department, when it comes to their relationship, Asuna naturally leans more towards her best friend with whom she would share life and death.

After quickly shoveling down a couple of bites, Asuna smiled and said goodbye to Ye Cheng, who had also finished his lunch.

On the way back, Asuna proposed her assist plan.

"Yoko, let's go shopping at the K1 shopping district tonight."

Regardless of whether you're feminine or not, at least dress like a woman! No! Expecting your senior to take the initiative is simply impossible, so... first, dress like a goddess with strong attractiveness!

……

What's going on with these two?

After the two women left, Huimei couldn't help but wonder how the three of them had met.

"Is such that……"

Ye Cheng recounted what had happened that morning.

"Tsk, with your physical condition, you've never practiced combat? Or do you even need to?"

That being said, Huimei naturally understood the reasoning behind it.

Having witnessed Hui Mei's overwhelming numerical superiority, I simply couldn't help but voice my complaints.

"Of course I've practiced, but not specifically in this area; I still need to learn. Honestly, can I sue her?"

"Yes, you can, but I don't recommend you do it," Huimei said seriously.

“If you do file a lawsuit, her punishment may not be severe, but this matter will definitely be known to all TPC employees.”

That's the entire TPC, the largest official organization with hundreds of thousands of members worldwide.

"Instead of prosecuting you, my suggestion is that I explain the situation to the intelligence department at headquarters."

"As for rumors, you can rest assured. People in the intelligence department can talk nonsense internally, but talking nonsense to outsiders is a serious crime, even if it's just a trivial rumor about their conduct."

"I see. Okay, then have her apologize to me and the vice-captain in person."

"no problem!"

Huimei gave a thumbs up and readily agreed.

"Oh? So confident?!"

“That’s right.” Huimei grinned, beaming with pride.

“I won’t mind if you call me Huimei outside, but once we’re in the intelligence department, you have to respectfully call me Sister No. 1.”

"The number one sister? That's amazing. What did Yoko and Asuna say?"

"Forehead……"

When the two women were mentioned, Huimei felt somewhat embarrassed and awkward.

Ye Cheng raised an eyebrow. "What? It seems our number one female star isn't without rivals after all?"

Huimei thought for a moment and then answered the question seriously.

"No, that's not it. Although Yoko has many supporters, I'm undoubtedly the number one, but..."

Huimei glanced around and whispered in someone's ear:

"This matter involves a conflict between the search and intelligence personnel, and it actually has nothing to do with me or the two of them. After all, one thing will never change, and that is that the intelligence department must have intelligence."

"General's insightful words are just as true to our victorious team, which is also destined for victory!"

"I have a feeling... that you're implying something, but then again, I feel like what you're saying makes no problem. Or are you being sarcastic...?"

"No, no, no, that's not true. You're overthinking it."

Embarrassed, Ye Cheng picked up Huimei's spoon, scooped up a spoonful of rice, and stuffed it into Huimei's mouth.

This woman is so perceptive!

Hui Mei rolled her eyes at Ye Cheng. All he knows is how to gag her, but doesn't he know how to feed her a bite of food?

O man!

As she took off the spoon, after a slight hesitation, Huimei still chose to chew the rice and swallow it.

"Here, let me feed you a spoonful too."

Compared to Ye Cheng, who belongs to a disadvantaged group, he even had to be careful to avoid suspicion by changing the spoon.

Hui Mei wasn't so particular. She used her own spoon and served herself her own rice, but afterwards she didn't forget to serve Ye Cheng some food.

"If I eat this, will you take me to court?"

Hui Mei, who was originally quite gentle, was immediately indignant upon hearing these words. She felt her gentleness had been wasted, and in a fit of pique, she forcefully shoved a spoonful of food into Ye Cheng's mouth.

"Just eat, stop talking so much!"

After the meal, it was time for the two to part ways.

"Don't forget to clarify things for me," Ye Cheng reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Hui Mei rolled her eyes and gestured for Ye Cheng to look at the other members of the intelligence department.

"Look at their reactions, do I even need to issue a clarification?"

After feeding each other, the subject of gossip has clearly shifted to the two of them.

"Actually, what I'm talking about is debunking this rumor."

"Hmm? You mean the other one isn't going to deny it anymore?"

"Yep, yeah!" Ye Cheng quickly breathed on Hui Mei's fur to soothe her.

"In short, I'll be relying on you a lot from now on."

"Don't worry. Also, not all enemies are clumsy. Some have poison or area-of-effect damage, so be careful."

Just as she was giving instructions, Huimei's communicator on her waist rang, and her brows quickly furrowed.

Ye Cheng leaned closer curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Delta Space Station has detected an unidentified flying object traveling at high speed toward Earth. It is expected to arrive on Earth in a few hours, but the landing point is currently unknown."

"I'll investigate this matter first. You can go back to the command center. The relevant intelligence will be passed on to you immediately."

When Ye Cheng returned to the Victory Team, the entire team was assembled.

Hebikura nodded in agreement.

Helotia immediately accessed the complete information provided by the intelligence department. The high-definition camera showed a flight scene, which could be roughly identified as a creature resembling a monster.
