Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

As birdsong awakens and animals awoke at dawn, the first rays of sunlight greeted them, and in this brand-new, beautiful weather, they embarked once again on their familiar journeys.

"Spending the night in the wild is so uncomfortable!"

A complaining voice broke the tranquility of the forest. Yaohui twisted his body and sat on the deck, rinsing his mouth with water from the kettle to clear his head.

Yesterday's injuries were fully healed with the help of Yuuji Junsei's magic, but after spending a night in the wild, Haruki's spirit was severely damaged.

He could get up early even without an alarm clock, simply because standing was much more comfortable than lying down. There was no work or commuting to rush him, but all he wanted to do was get on his way as quickly as possible. Returning to human society a second earlier was his biggest goal right now, and he didn't want to go through another night like this.

"Ah! What a wonderful sleep! I never expected to wake up to the first thing I saw was the morning sun. It really gives me a lot of energy!"

Zeta woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy after a comfortable stay in the Pure Crystal of Courage. Being in the subspace without having to contact the outside world, he didn't have the same worries as Haruki.

Looking at the vast sky and the bright sunrise in the distance, Zeta sincerely exclaimed how beautiful nature truly is!

"Oh, it seems you two are awake. Are you ready to start today's itinerary?" A-Kyu, who had woken up earlier than Haruki and Zeta, ran around to check the surroundings and confirm the location and the route ahead.

Despite being the youngest member of the team, Ajiu takes on the leadership role of the entire team, and she handles it with ease, showing neither arrogance nor nervousness.

"Of course, I can walk any distance, no matter how far!"

Haruki, who had seemed listless just moments before, suddenly became full of energy upon hearing about the journey. Aku and Zeta, unaware of the situation, assumed that Haruki was simply overly excited.

"That's great! We just need to head west to reach our target town. If everything goes smoothly, we can arrive tomorrow." "Huh?! Another night? Can't we hurry and get there before tonight?"

The information from A-Jiu struck Haruki like a bolt from the blue. Despite his good health, he was willing to run the entire way to get there before nightfall. However, being in a land ruled by monsters, Haruki had no choice but to follow A-Jiu's instructions for his own safety.

"As for the journey, we really shouldn't waste too much time. After all, the situation with the Light Stone is still unknown, and it's important for us to get information about it as soon as possible. Besides, having Zeta fly us around again is still risky; we need to think of another way..."

After hearing what Yaohui said, Ajiu began to think about the problem from a different perspective, wondering if there was any way to improve their current situation. A giant bird flew by in the sky, and Ajiu had a flash of inspiration, having a bold idea in the direction the bird had flown.

Seeing her suddenly excited expression, Zeta felt something was wrong. There were too many things about Ajiu that Zeta couldn't understand, and her thought process definitely couldn't be explained in a normal way.

Haruki didn't care about the process. If A-Kyu really had a way to get to the destination quickly, Haruki would definitely try it, barring any unforeseen circumstances!

"Clang! Flame Feather Giant Bird Flight Aviation can take you to your destination quickly, and will definitely give you a different kind of riding experience!"

A-Jiu led Haruki to the nest of a giant bird monster and excitedly introduced the monster, which could actually ignite flames, to Haruki.

In a rocky hillside cave, the nest of a giant red bird-like monster is located. Fallen feathers are scattered around the nest, and beneath the feathers is slightly scorched earth. If you look closely, you can also find the burnt fur of other monsters on the ground.

Despite the sweltering heat, Haruki felt a chill run through his body. In the distance lay a living monster, the size of a passenger plane; Haruki, standing next to it, was barely the size of its toes!

And that monster was staring at him, its feathers gleaming, as if it could explode and burst into flames at any moment.

"Don't be so nervous. The Flame Feather Giant Bird is a very docile monster. Its flames only burn in emergency defense. It won't harm humans normally. If you don't believe me, take a closer look at the area next to its nest. There are quite a few human belongings there."

Following A-Jiu's instructions, Yao Hui carefully looked at the monster's lair. There were indeed many things made by humans on the outskirts of the monster's lair, including wooden barrels for loading goods, slightly worn-out wheels, and even clothes with embroidered patterns.

Haruki grew increasingly panicked as he looked at the scene. Faced with such an unknown situation, he couldn't help but feel fear. "This looks like a monster attacking and then stealing things to show off. It's terrifying."

"This is so exciting! The fact that so many human items have been donated means that this monster has helped many people and has received a reward from them!"

Ajiu grew increasingly fond of the giant bird monster before her. In the past, she had often heard her senior magicians, who were out on business, talk about the Flame Feather Giant Bird. Today, she was finally seeing it with her own eyes.

If we disregarded Yaohui and the others' situation, Ajiu would have immediately rushed up to hug the Flame Feather Giant Bird and carefully touched its beautiful and magical feathers.

"The Flamefeathered Giant Bird is a monster with nest-building habits. It usually collects things like branches and wood to build its nest. This is both to provide itself with a place to live and a way to attract mates. However, plain wood will not attract the attention of the opposite sex. Therefore, the Flamefeathered Giant Bird is happy to collect colorful and ingenious human creations."

Surrounded by important people, A-Jiu restrained her playful nature and explained things to Haruki and Zeta with the proper attitude she usually had when working and researching magic.

This is one of A-Jiu's tasks when she goes out to work: to guide the heroes of another world and help them better understand this world; at the same time, it is also A-Jiu's care as a friend. Everyone has areas of strength and weakness, and complementing each other's strengths and being tolerant of each other is one of the secrets to maintaining friendship.

"You like collecting things? I can understand that, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for a monster that can burn flames to collect these flammable items? Wouldn't it be better to collect some pretty stones that won't burn?"

Haruki had heard of birds collecting special materials to build their nests on Earth, but he never expected that this would also apply to monsters. However, monsters are monsters after all. Monsters with immense strength and the ability to breathe fire are always depicted as destructive, making it difficult to associate them with beauty.

"Hehe, that's the science of monsters. The purpose of collecting and creating artifacts isn't just for aesthetics; it's also a way for the outside world to measure a monster's abilities. For monsters that can unleash flames, being able to control their flames well is proof of their strength. Out of the instinct for survival, the opposite sex naturally wants to reproduce with a stronger member of their kind."

The more ingenious artifacts a lair contains, the stronger the monster's ability to protect it. The ability to preserve fragile artifacts also signifies the ability to provide a safe haven for a mate. Therefore, the significance of artifacts to monsters goes beyond mere aesthetics; they are a reflection of their power.

With this explanation, Haruki understood the reason: the way monsters survive is somewhat similar to human nature.

Just like wealthy people who want others to understand the abstract concept of their wealth, they won't stand on the street and throw money around, but will instead say that they have so many precious antiques and paintings.

Monsters that can control fire certainly don't fly into the sky and spew fire everywhere to show off their strength. Instead, they demonstrate their hidden power by protecting and collecting their creations.

"The knowledge about this monster is truly amazing."
