Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

With the sun in the center of the sky, it indicates that the day is already halfway through. At this time of year, when the temperature is about to reach its highest point, all the animals are resting, hiding in the shade to sleep peacefully and enjoy the tranquility.

However, the travelers in a hurry had no time for a nap; Haruki was determined to reach his destination before nightfall. To do this, he had to complete the task assigned by the monster in the afternoon. Only in this way could he obtain the Flame Feather Giant Bird's flying assistance; otherwise, Haruki would suffer again while trying to sleep at night.

The midday rest of the beasts is the best time for humans who want to go out. One bad thing after another happened yesterday, and Haruki and Zeta are almost driven to the brink of nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, there's no need to worry about monster riots or sudden attacks this time, which is excellent for the otherworldly beings who want to search for materials in the forest.

"The materials the monster wants must be eye-catching enough, at least special enough to be seen by other Flame Feathered Giant Birds, so it would be best for us to collect things that the giant birds don't usually see for decoration."

Ajiu led Yaohui around the forest, looking around as they walked. If they saw any suitable flowers, plants, or branches, they would pick them to keep as decorations.

Without the anxiety that Haruki felt, A-Kyu could leisurely stroll around. For A-Kyu, it didn't matter whether she set off today or tomorrow; it was just a matter of whether she needed to spend another night in the wild.

With a beaming smile, A-Jiu collected all the pretty things she liked, her lively manner of turning her head every few steps clearly showing how much she enjoyed herself. However, Yao-Hui wasn't in the mood to share A-Jiu's joy. He was preoccupied with the passage of time, scrutinizing everything around him with a critical eye, like a predator searching for its prey, not wanting to miss a single corner.

"How about this piece of wood? Its shape should meet the requirements of the Flamefeathered Bird." Ajiu, who was walking in front, turned around and called Yaohui over to check the broken wood lying on the ground.

Despite the broken piece of wood covered in black mud and sand, Ajiu didn't mind at all. Before Yaohui even came over, she started to explore it with her fair little hands.

"Really? But the bark on this fallen log is rotten quite a bit. Will the giant bird really find it attractive?" Looking at the withered branches and leaves on the ground and the wormholes drilled into the log, Haruki realized that the broken log had been left here for a long time. Although the wood hadn't rotted to the point of smelling bad, Haruki still had no desire to go closer to examine it.

"That's perfect, it meets my artistic requirements! Wait, I'll go decorate this piece of wood a little, maybe then you'll appreciate it." With that, Ajiu put down her backpack, picked up the flower and grass branches she had collected earlier, and ran excitedly to a distance to start preparing.

"I never expected this girl to have such a unique understanding of art. Who knows, she might surprise us again in the future."

Belial Twilight couldn't understand why such a fallen piece of wood would be chosen. In his eyes, only sturdy and beautiful wood could be considered exquisite. Although he was puzzled, once he realized that this was something chosen by A-Jiu's eye, his previous oddity no longer seemed strange.

"Not necessarily, Belial-san. Maybe A-Kyu just wants to use those flowers and plants to decorate the wood properly. The fragrance of the plants can just cover up the smell of the wood itself, and colorful petals are a great embellishment for the wood, aren't they? Just like Christmas trees on Earth."

Haruki maintained a respectful attitude towards Aku, who had extensive experience in wilderness survival; perhaps Aku truly possessed extraordinary abilities. Haruki certainly didn't expect the people from another world to be able to decorate a Christmas tree, but improving the appearance of the wood would certainly be beneficial.

"But is it really okay for us to let A-Jiu act alone like this? This is a forest where monsters roam."

Zeta's sudden change of topic immediately brought Haruki and Belial Twilight, who were focused on the wooden decorations, back to reality. Haruki and Belial Twilight exchanged a glance and then simultaneously realized with surprise that something was wrong.

"Damn it, I was so focused on the wood that I forgot about the person. I'll go check on A-Jiu right now." Yao Hui had barely finished speaking and taken a few steps when he heard the commotion of a monster in the distance. A monster covered in black fur stood in the forest, yawned, looked down at its feet, and then walked towards Yao Hui as if it had discovered something.

"Hmph, how dare a mere nameless monster cause me trouble! This time, Haruki and Zetsu, you don't need to lift a finger. Watch me take care of that black-haired monster in just a few moves!"

Having finally had a chance to release the pent-up frustration, Belial Twilight, with a smug grin, finished giving instructions to Haruki and Zeta before charging forward.

The demonic sword gleamed with purple light, and the eyes of Belial's head shone with an evil glint. Belial, in high spirits, flew quite swiftly and then came face to face with A-Jiu, who was walking towards him.

"Mr. Belial, where are you going?" A-Jiu's sudden question startled the rapidly attacking Belial Twilight. Turning his head to look at A-Jiu, Belial Twilight was still thinking about what was going on, forgetting that he was still flying at high speed and then crashed into a big tree.

"Damn it, what's going on? Humans can run faster than monsters... What could be more outrageous than this!"

Shaking his head to stay awake, Belial Twilight's first words were a complaint. His pent-up temper had flared up even more. Unable to contain his anger, Belial Twilight lashed out at the tree blocking his way with the back of his blade to vent his frustration, which then shook the three-tailed squirrel off the tree, causing it to fall directly onto Belial Twilight's face.

The three-tailed squirrel, who was sleeping soundly on a branch, was startled awake by the noise of the monster in the distance. Before it could even see what was happening, the tree it was on suddenly shook violently. Luckily, the three-tailed squirrel grabbed the branch in time, or it would have fallen straight down.

The squirrel, clinging to the tree with only its two paws, was struggling to climb when a sudden tremor in the tree trunk caused it to fall, landing unexpectedly on Beria's face.

"What is this thing? What's on my face! Get it off me right now!"

Enraged, Belial Twilight began to violently shake his body, trying to shake off the things on his face; in his panic, his instincts made the three-tailed squirrel grip even tighter, its three tails swinging in the air to maintain balance, controlling the direction of the magic sword's flight and causing Belial Twilight to crash straight into the haystack.

"Are you alright, Ah Jiu? I saw a monster coming this way." "Yes, that's the monster I summoned. I need its help with my next decoration."

Haruki, who believed that Belial Twilight was alright, asked about A-Giu's situation first. Seeing Haruki's nervous expression, A-Giu answered Haruki's question first and ignored Belial Twilight beside him.

The three-tailed squirrel quickly escaped after landing, running off in a panic and disappearing into the distance, leaving Belial Twilight lying head down in the hay, contemplating the situation and doubting himself once again.

"The monster you summoned? How do you want the monster to help you?" Haruki was very curious about A-Kyu's idea, and at the same time, he was also very much looking forward to seeing what the cooperation between humans and monsters would yield.

"Well, it's hard for me to explain. Just come with me and see for yourself." After saying that, A-Jiu instructed the monster to take the wood she had chosen, and then went to the river and placed the wood next to the mud pit. A-Jiu happily carried the pile of flowers and grass forward, passing the wood and running straight to the mud pit.

The black-haired monster lay down on the spot and used the mud to soak its feet and wash its hands. Ah Jiu then used the mud that the monster had washed in to start decorating.

Ah Jiu picked up the huge lump of mud in one go, then sprinkled the flowers and herbs she had collected earlier on it, kneading it back and forth as if it were not mushy mud but a chewy dough.

Haruki and Belial Twilight, who were watching from the side, were completely stunned. The beautiful young girl, who would definitely be a graceful lady if she dressed up properly, was now using flowers and herbs to shape the mud. The key point was that this was the mud that monsters used to soak their feet.

"Ta-da! This is special floral and herbal clay. It feels really cool to the touch!" A-Jiu showed the clay ball she had sculpted to her most trusted friend. To make it even cuter, A-Jiu even made cat ears.

The branches and leaves swallowing the mud, the petals suppressed by stains, and the monster hair that occasionally popped out—all the previous vibrant colors turned into chaos in Haruki's eyes. And the inexplicable demon horns made the already unsightly and indescribable things even more bizarre.

"It seems you don't appreciate it. I'd better hurry up and get to work." With that, Ajiu slapped the lump of clay onto the wood and began her clay decoration work.

After witnessing the unbelievable chaos, the fallen, rotten wood suddenly became beautiful, and then the next second the beautiful wood was swallowed by the chaos, its body covered with strange mud.

The wood in the forest used to have a pleasant fragrance, but now all the smells were beyond Haruki's comprehension. The monster's body odor combined with the mud made Haruki not even want to comment on it, afraid that the smell would enter his mouth.

"Upon closer inspection, that mud thing looks like cat ears. I've seen something similar on Earth before." Zeta, a bit slow to react, was still pondering what was on the mud lump, while Haruki and Belial Twilight couldn't wait to leave.

"I'm going to find some materials. I don't need to be imposing, just act normal." "Wait for me, Belial-san! I'll go with you! Don't leave me behind!"

"Alright then, good luck to you! We'll meet up at the Flamefeather Giant Bird's Nest later!" A-Jiu, unaware of the truth, was still offering his blessings to Haruki and Belial Twilight, who were avoiding him.
