The sun is already high in the sky, and most of the morning has passed. For pedestrians who are eager to get on their way, they must make the most of their time.

"So how can we get monsters to help us fly? Do we have to trade something for the Flame Feather Giant Bird?"

Having gained a basic understanding of the Flamefeathered Giant Bird's habits, Haruki was no longer afraid of the monster before him. As long as he could understand its likes and dislikes and avoid conflict, even a monster might have a cute side.

However, while such thoughts are certainly appealing, when it comes to actual implementation, they still leave Yaohui at a loss.

"Leave the socializing to me. I learned a secret language to communicate with bird monsters. Dealing with this monster that's so familiar with humans will be no problem!" A-Jiu declared confidently to Haruki, striding forward directly toward the monster's lair without any hesitation.

"Isn't this a bit dangerous? The one we're communicating with is a monster that can use fire!" Zeta, through Yugi Junsei, who was in the backpack, shared her senses with Haruki and saw A-Kyu walking towards the monster without any precautions, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Haruki had the same feeling. Just as he was about to step forward and say something, he saw A-Kyu suddenly wave his hand behind him. Haruki, who did not know why, thought that A-Kyu was going to stop him and say something like that he should solve the problem on his own.

But then Ajiu stood at a distance without saying anything, instead swinging both hands behind her back, squatting down and shaking her hands.

With both hands swung back and then leaping upwards, the previously crouching human began to move, hopping from side to side. The right hand was raised and the arm swung, the palm open and floating in the air; then the left hand twisted and clenched its fingers, diving up and down in a certain direction.

The human who had completed the action suddenly shouted loudly, "Gua wu gua wu" followed by "Ao Ao oh oh," while simultaneously flapping his arms.

Yao Hui stared blankly at the scene before him. He couldn't believe that the girl who had been chatting and laughing with him was now making eerie noises with her cute face and dancing energetically in a way that sent chills down his spine.

Out of respect, Haruki wouldn't say much until A-Kyu finished everything. However, when Haruki saw the monster making a move in the distance, he instinctively wanted to remind A-Kyu, "A-Kyu, watch out for the monster... it, it jumped up."

The giant bird with fiery feathers left its nest and came out. Then it started to hop, performing the same dance steps as A-Jiu. Its body, tens of meters tall, covered the treetops just by standing there. The giant bird monster swayed and jumped along with A-Jiu's movements, shaking the ground and knocking down several rocks with a few leaps.

Seeing that the exchange was going well, Ajiu suddenly exerted her strength, quickly pulled up a few blades of grass from the ground, stuck them in her hair, and then let out a cry towards the sky.

Understanding the human's intentions, the giant bird hopped aside, trampled down a tree trunk, picked up a piece of wood with its beak, stuck it in front of the human, and cried out to express its will.

"Alright, the exchange is complete. Now all we need to do is find something nice that looks similar to that piece of wood. Let's get ready to go. Haruki... Haruki, are you alright? Haruki, why are you spacing out?"

Ajiu returned quickly and excitedly. Communicating with the Flame Feather Giant Bird was simpler than she had imagined, and the monster's requests were not demanding. She only needed to find him more beautiful and exquisite wood.

However, Haruki's reaction puzzled A-Kyu. When A-Kyu was communicating with the monster, Haruki hadn't said much, and when A-Kyu finished his dance, Haruki didn't ask anything. A-Kyu had originally planned to explain the meaning of the dance to Haruki.

"Monsters really know a lot!" Haruki reached out and took a blade of grass from A-Kyu's head, then stuck it directly into his own hair. Abandoning all thought, Haruki experienced an indescribable wisdom.

At midday, the sun was high in the sky, and the temperature in the entire forest rose, but fortunately, it was still cool enough by the river.

The fire was lit, roasting the fish they had just caught. Not wanting to waste any time, Yaohui and Ajiu took advantage of their leisure time to get down to business.

"What the Flame Feather Giant Bird wants is exquisite wooden pillars. If we want to satisfy the monster's requirements, the simplest way is to take some wood and carve and decorate it. The monster's aesthetic sense is not discerning; it just needs to recognize the design at a glance."

A-Ku explained the request to Haruki, and at first glance, the request did seem simple, even straightforward. However, the problem arose at the very beginning: what was easily destroyed by a monster would require considerable effort for an ordinary person.

"The piece of wood the giant bird provided is three meters tall. Where are we going to find wood like that without an axe? And how are we going to carve it without tools?"

Haruki felt something was amiss. Although he could transform into Ultraman to fight monsters, in his current untransformed state, he was just an ordinary person with his bare hands. It was obviously inappropriate for him to move a three-meter-tall piece of wood in this state.

"It's alright. There's plenty of wood around here that fell off because of the monster's actions. If we look carefully, we can find the wood we need. If all else fails, I can use an attack spell to gather materials on the spot. Besides, I saw that you had Belial Twilight helping you before, right? This time, we can use his power to get the wood and then carve it, can't we?"

“That’s true, but Belial is very particular about how he uses his power, so he definitely wouldn’t want to do this kind of rough work.”

Haruki understood A-Kyu's suggestion, but knowing Belial Twilight's temper, Haruki remained pessimistic about the method. Belial Twilight, who usually thought of dominating the world and suppressing all heroes, would probably get angry if Haruki were asked to do carpentry.

"An interesting game, play along." Belial Twilight suddenly appeared, showing great interest after overhearing A-Kyu and Haruki's conversation.

"Hey, Belial-san? What brings you here all of a sudden? Are you really going to help us?" "It's not about helping you, it's about me joining this game. But I can lend you a little of my power, though."

Belial Twilight floated over with a grilled fish and joined the conversation. Although Haruki couldn't understand how Belial Twilight, who had no hands, could hold a grilled fish, it was really great that he genuinely wanted to help them.

"That's my grilled fish! How could you take someone else's things like that! Give it back!" "Why are you being so stingy, little girl! What's wrong with me eating one? Now that I've said I'm joining, I'll definitely let you appreciate my art. I'll sculpt the most magnificent artwork for you to see!"

"Anyone who eats someone else's lunch without permission is definitely not cool!"

Furious, A-Jiu chased after Belial Twilight. Belial Twilight, who was looking for fun, didn't fight back and just floated away, making the hot midday hour suddenly lively.
