Ultraman: A good pilot doesn't choose his own Ultraman.

Nothing happened that night. After getting up early, Jiang Yu left a note on the table for Onoda and went out to work for the convenience store owner.

Jiang Yu promised to pay the rent, and he wouldn't go back on his word. It was just a job; he'd done it before when he was in school.

It's not that I plan to live off part-time jobs forever, but I need to at least earn enough to cover rent and camera rental costs.

Onoda said he would take him out to find trending content to make money, but we can't rely entirely on Onoda.

Besides, what blockbuster can compare to the first-person perspective of Ultraman vs. monsters?

Once Jiang Yu has the power to transform and use it long-term, obtaining mere on-site photos will be a piece of cake.

In the future, I can also learn from that guy next door, Xiaoming, buy a flashy pink camera, and become a wanderer traveling to different parts of the world.

All of the above were Jiang Yu's hopes and dreams, but they didn't stop him from doing manual labor at the convenience store.

After witnessing Jiang Yu's extraordinary strength, the widowed convenience store owner has recommended him to the owners of various shops in the surrounding area.

One person can handle a whole truckload of goods, and arranges them quickly and well, which makes things so easy for these bosses.

Throughout the day, Jiang Yu had to visit more than a dozen convenience stores.

In other words, Jiang Yu actually has to do dozens of jobs a day; the capable do more work.

Jiang Yu didn't care about being tired or anything, as long as he was paid.

He's now born with the divine physique of an ox or horse; if he can keep working like this, Jiang Yu could work until the landlady goes bankrupt.

At the Onoda residence, Onoda, still feeling somewhat groggy after waking up, stepped out of his room.

Just as Onoda was about to grab some quick food to fill his stomach, he saw Jiang Yu's note on the table.

"Masaki Keigo, what kind of company is that?"

Onoda's face gradually showed helplessness, and he casually threw the instant noodles he had just taken out onto the table.

"Damn it, what do they take me for? A wish-granting machine?"

It's no wonder Onoda reacted this way; dealing with identity verification and information gathering is hardly the work of an ordinary reporter.

Even so, Onoda showed no sign of losing his temper. He simply put the note in his pocket, intending to check it when he had time.

With the connections he's built up over the years, it wouldn't be difficult for him to investigate Masaki Keigo.

The more Jiang Yu demands of him now, the easier it will be for Onoda to make demands later.

The alien identity that Jiang Yu was imagined to have really given Onoda a lot of anticipation.

"But before that, we should go and check out that place first."

Onoda sat down and prepared his instant noodles, thinking about the rumors he had heard a few days ago while waiting.

A drinking buddy said that his dead friend had come back to life.

……

TPC Far East Base Headquarters, Victory Team.

Lina looked at Daigo, who was staring intently at the time machine, with a puzzled expression. After a long while, she reached out and took the time machine away, interrupting Daigo's spellcasting.

"Hey, Daigo, what's wrong with you? You've been in a daze ever since you came back yesterday."

Hearing Lina's question, Daigo was startled. Forgetting his interrupted thoughts, he forced a smile and explained:

"It's nothing, Lina. I was just wondering how the giants revived."

Lina listened with a helpless expression and put the time machine back in its original place.

"It's been a whole day, why are you still thinking about this?"

As the professor said, with our current level of expertise, we simply cannot handle the background noise; we can only try our luck later.

Anyway, the giant came back to life, didn't it? And it even destroyed the monster.

By the end, Lina had a beaming smile on her face.

When faced with an invincible enemy, the savior descends.

The plot may be cliché, but it's still incredibly moving.

During yesterday's team debriefing, Munakata said that with the current equipment, the Victory Team simply couldn't eliminate those two monsters.

Especially Namelba, its speed is much faster than that of the Flying Swallow No. 1.

If Melba and Golza hadn't ignored them at the beginning, their complete annihilation wouldn't have been surprising.

"Should we try our luck?"

Daigo's expression became even more complicated. He was finding it hard to imagine what he would do if his identity were exposed.

Of all the people on Earth, is he the only one who is so special?

Recalling Yuzare's words, Daigo still found it hard to accept.

He's different. How is he different?!

Just as Daigo was having an existential crisis, on the other side, Munakata was also having a conversation with Captain Megumi.

It's not a big deal; it's half private and half public.

"Captain, take a look at this."

Zongfang took out a document and casually handed it to Jujian Hui in front of him.

After attending a meeting about whether the GUTS team's weapons needed to be upgraded, Megumi Kijima looked a little tired, but she still took the documents and looked at them carefully.

"Commander, is this... your friend?"

After reading it, Megumi looked somewhat surprised.

As far as she knew, Munakata rarely took time off, and even when he did, he would go to an izakaya in Tokyo to drink milk.

How could such a simple social interaction lead to alien friends?

"No, to be precise, it's a friend of a friend."

Zong Fang responded in a deep voice, his dark and serious face showing a hint of difficulty.

He also never expected that someone like Onoda could encounter aliens.

It's lucky we met, otherwise we wouldn't have had the chance to drink milk together again.

"So, Commander, what's your opinion of Mr. Jiang Yu?"

Kijima Megumi didn't press the matter further, but only asked about Munakata's attitude.

Extraterrestrials are nothing new or surprising.

For those who maintain friendly relations with humans, staying on Earth is not a big deal.

Megumi Kijima was in charge of a project to communicate with extraterrestrial life forms back then, so she had seen far too many of these kinds of things.

However, it's not entirely ordinary. Izumi Megumi had never heard of aliens working at convenience stores before.

"Captain, I will follow orders. If we cannot keep them, I will personally lead the repatriation."

Zong Fang maintained a completely businesslike attitude; in his mind, aliens still carried some hidden dangers.

"That's unnecessary. As our exploration of the outside world accelerates, dealing with extraterrestrials in the future is inevitable."

If they were all repatriated in the same way, it wouldn't be good for the development of the planet.

Even though Zongfang lacked his own opinion, Jujian Hui made the final decision and agreed to register Jiang Yu's identity.

"When you have time to take a vacation, Commander, you should call your friend over for a chat and find out what this person's intentions are."

Looking at the photo of Jiang Yu with a bright smile, Ikumi felt a surge of goodwill towards him.

This child looks to be only seven or eight years older than her son.

Normally speaking, this is about the age when most people on Earth go to university.

"Yes, Captain."

Zongfang kept the matter in mind, not dwelling on it.

When it comes to matters concerning aliens, Megumi Kijima is an expert; if she says there's no problem, then there's no problem.

This was something that everyone at TPC headquarters could see, and it had nothing to do with Zong Fang's ulterior motives.

"By the way, Commander, inform Horii and Rena about the upgrades to the Flying Swallow. The Director needs their cooperation."

"clear."

After Munakata left, Izahime looked at the photos on the table and sighed softly.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've gone back to visit.
