Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　The wonderful weekend passed and a new day began. Aine, who was about to get up to go to school in Haneda, found something wrong as soon as she opened her eyes.

　"A strange ceiling... No, it's a familiar ceiling!"

　Aine rolled over from her bed, and her roommates in the dormitory were still waving and greeting her.

　“Good morning”

　"No? What the hell is this? Is this still Japan?"

　Aine was stunned. This familiar dormitory and roommates were exactly what she had when she was studying in the UK. Could it be that time had gone back?

　"This is Mefilas' trick."

　Fortunately, Ultraman's voice sounded in Aine's mind, and Aine realized what had happened.

　"Ultraman, do you know what happened?"

　"Just deal with your roommate first, I'll explain it to you later."

　"Hi"

　Using Japanese-accented English, Aiyin dreamed of returning to her time studying in the UK.

　Waking up and feeling like the world has changed? Is that right? Yes, yes!

　Mephilas has the superpower to brainwash the entire world and change the collective cognition of mankind. Aine has been hearing him say this and thought it was a bit of bragging, but it turned out to be all the truth.

　If Aine really accidentally reveals the secret of the identity of Ultraman's human body, Mefilas is capable of helping her solve this problem.

　It’s just that no one had ever seen Mefilas take action before, and as soon as he did, Aine was in big trouble.

　He used teleportation to send Aine back to England, and used his super powers to change everyone's cognition. Chihaya Aine did not return to Japan, she stayed in England to study. This is another world line created by Mephilas himself.

　"No? That Mefilas guy is deliberately trying to mess with me, right?"

　Aine was extremely angry. She picked up her phone and looked through her call logs. It turned out that all the contact information of the M78 members had been deleted. It really didn't leave any trace, right?

　I then looked up the composition of the M78 band online and found out that the lead singer was Takamatsu Teru from the beginning to the end, completely replacing Aine.

　The member who replaced Aine in the Earth Defense Force and drove the mechanical U-Indam became Shiina Tatsuki, and there was not even a trace of Aine left.

　The most infuriating thing is that the existence of Ultraman has not changed at all. If Mephilas has the ability, he can replace Ultraman himself to protect the earth and mankind!

　"Damn it! What on earth does Mefilas want to do?"

　"I don't know, maybe I should ask him."

　Speaking of Mephilas, that evil alien appeared. Mephilas appeared in front of Aine in the form of an Earthling and spoke in his usual annoying tone.

　"This is to protect you, Miss Aine."

　"What do you mean?"

　"Literally, during this period of time, you cannot contact your friends, nor can you reveal any information that you are the human form of Ultraman."

　"what?"

　Aine breathed a sigh of relief after a long time. This Mefilas guy must be teasing her.

　"As for what will happen next, Miss Aine, you will understand, so I won't explain it in detail."

　"Then remember, do not contact your friends and stay as you are now."

　"It's for your own good, and for the sake of your family."

　After saying this, Mefilas teleported away once again, and the angry Aine couldn’t find a chance to punch him.

　"Damn evil alien, he must have done it on purpose."

　"Ultraman, what should we do now?"

　"Let's just follow Mefilas's instructions for now. He probably has no ill intentions. Besides, it's not easy to break Mefilas's hypnosis and brainwashing."

　The last Mephilas who did this was one of the Four Dark Lords under the command of Anpera. He brainwashed all of humanity and the members of GUYS through this method, turning Mebius into an enemy of humanity.

　Mefilas, who did the same thing, seemed to be protecting Aine from what he said, so let’s just wait and see what happens for now.

　"All right..."

　Since Ultraman said so, Aine had no choice but to obey obediently, but...

　Aine has returned to the time when she was studying in the UK and started her second life. Today must be the day when Ultra is reborn. This time she wants to prove herself. Aine is not a deserter anymore.

　At the same time in Japan, everything was replaced silently. All the traces of what Aine experienced when she returned to Japan were erased by Mefilas. He remade new memories and experiences for the people around Aine, but human instincts will not disappear easily.

　At Haneda Academy, Deng would look back at the empty seat behind her from time to time. She felt empty in her heart, as if an important person was missing.

　"Deng, are you going to the Earth Defense Force again after school?"

　The traffic light trio came to talk to Deng. Logically, they should have been talking to Deng, but Deng felt as if they were talking to someone else and she had completely replaced the other person.

　The drum team member of the Earth Defense Force looked absentmindedly at the mechanical U-Indam in front of her. She always felt that this big guy was so strange.

　It was obvious that he joined the Earth Defense Force just to accompany Deng and became the pilot of the mechanical U-Indam. Everything seemed so natural and logical.

　But Li Xi always felt that this was not the case, as if someone very important to him was missing. Li Xi tried hard to think about it, but he couldn't remember it at all.

　"Lixi, let's go to RING together later."

　"no problem."

　At the Earth Defense Force base, Deng and Li Xi met, and then they went to the RING store for band practice as usual. Everything was so natural and there was nothing wrong with it.

　Volume 2: 15. Changing World Lines

　It is the M78 band’s custom to gather at the RING store in the afternoon for band practice, and today is no exception.

　Lixi and Deng arrived early

　She was already a member of the Earth Defense Force, so why did she still have to work at the RING store? Li Xi herself didn't understand, but she just did her job.

　Hailing arrived on time as always, not even a second late, so punctual that it was scary.

　Lenai cat has not refreshed yet, but as long as you put a cup of matcha coffee on the table, a Lenai will refresh out in a while.

　And Shoko Toyokawa was the last one to arrive. She hurried to the RING store in her own Maybach, and the first sentence she said when she came in was.

　"Sorry, I'm late."

　"You know you're late."

　Li Xi said something in a sarcastic tone, and Ha Jixiang was immediately angry.

　"What are you talking about? You know I'm busy."

　"Please, please stop quarreling..."

　For the sake of Gao Songdeng, who was always timid, Li Xi and Xiangzi both took a step back and stopped arguing over such a trivial matter.

　"strangeness..."

　Shoko Toyokawa always had an indescribable strange feeling. There should have been someone very understanding who would stand up and comfort her at this time.

　"It's okay. The Toyokawa family is busy with things, right?"

　Instead of Shiina Riki's mouth that can make people angry to death, if the M78 band had always been like this, they would have broken up long ago.

　The argument was very unpleasant from the beginning, but after all, they were all members of the same band, so Xiangzi and Lixi soon calmed down. At this time, Lenai appeared from nowhere and had already finished the matcha parfait in her hand.

　"Are you done arguing?"

　"Sorry... Lenai, we didn't mean to argue."

　"Ok?"

　Maomao tilted her head in confusion. The quarrel had nothing to do with her, so why should she apologize?

　"Let's practice."

　Hailing couldn't bear it anymore and spoke up. She felt that the M78 band shouldn't be so worried. There should be someone who can sort out all the problems within the band very well.

　Let's have band practice, but it seems that nothing goes well today. Various problems arose in the ensemble from the very beginning. Even Toyokawa Shoko made mistakes in the performance. Li Xi couldn't help but feel inexplicably angry.

　"Is there something wrong with your play this time?"

　"Huh? What are you talking about? You're the one with the biggest problem!"

　How could Ha Jixiang tolerate such humiliation? It was obvious that Li Xi played the drums badly today, and she still had the nerve to talk about herself?

　Seeing that Ha Jixiang and Li Xi were about to start a quarrel again, Lenai Maomao simply packed up his guitar and prepared to leave.

　"Lena?"

　"Boring, I want to go back."

　Lenai Maomao didn't want to talk. Maomao just wanted to go home. How could the originally interesting M78 band suddenly become so boring? Maomao couldn't understand.

　Just like that, after Lenai left with his guitar, the band practice could not continue, and Hailing was the second person to leave.

　"Maybe everyone's condition isn't very good today, so let's all take a rest early."

　Hailing also left, leaving only Toyokawa Shoko and the other three in the practice room. This was quite awkward, as they had been in the same band before, and now they were the ones having a conflict.

　"Deng, the Earth Defense Force still has a lot of things to do, let's go back and help."

　"Eh?"

　Unable to react, Li Xi found an excuse for himself and left with the lamp, leaving Toyokawa Shoko alone to breathe out.

　"Strange? What's going on today? Everyone seems a little abnormal."

　What is happening now is incomprehensible, but Ha Jixiang can only call Maybach to pick him up.

　Everything seems to be completely unchanged, but because of the lack of the most important gear, the entire world view has malfunctioned.

　If we let it go on like this, the band will eventually fall apart.

　.....

　"A monster has appeared. Drum team, quickly drive the mechanical U-Ying-Dam and attack."

　"Call me Lixi!"

　I don’t know who started calling us “drum team members”, but everyone started calling us that. It’s not funny at all.

　"Stop dawdling, drummers, and get going!"

　"..."

　Li Xi was speechless. Sitting in the cockpit of the mechanical Uyingdam, Li Xi felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He clearly knew how to drive this robot in his memory, but his body felt extremely unfamiliar, as if the memory of driving the mechanical Uyingdam was given to him by someone else.

　No matter what, we still have to attack because the monster has appeared!

　Li Xi drove the mechanical Uyingdam with some difficulty, heading for Tokyo Bay.

　A fish-like monster has landed in Tokyo Bay and is wreaking havoc. The Earth Defense Force is out to destroy it.

　The sea monster King Gesla, a common monster that looks like a fish, once appeared on the Earth protected by Ultraman. Its fighting power is very poor.

　The dorsal fin will die.

　Lixi, who was driving the mechanical U-wingdam, was facing a very weak monster. She could easily defeat it without any help from anyone.

　But even with such a monster, Lixi was defeated, and the mechanical Uyingdam was knocked to his knees. It was no match for this monster at all.

　"Drummer, why are you performing so poorly today?"

　"I won't make it!"

　Lixi was in a panic. She clearly knew how to drive the U-wingdam, but her hands and feet just wouldn't obey her.

　But it would take some time for Takamatsu Deng to arrive. After all, only the mechanical U-Indam has high mobility. Just when Li Xi was about to be pinned to the ground and beaten by the monster for a while, an eight-point light wheel fell from the sky and cut off the monster's dorsal fin.

　After its fatal weakness was attacked, the sea monster King Gesla let out a mournful howl and then died of heavy bleeding.

　Lixi, who was driving the mechanical U-Indam, looked up and saw Ultraman flying in the sky.

　Ultraman nodded to Lixi, and without even landing on the ground, he flew into the sky and left.

　"Why the hell do monsters always appear in Tokyo, Japan? I have to fly from England to fight them."

　"I'm also very puzzled by this. No matter which time and space Earth is in, monsters and aliens always like to attack Tokyo, Japan."

　At the same time, Lenai Cat, who had returned home, suddenly said to her grandmother, Ms. Tsuzuki Shifune.

　"I'm going to London, England to visit my parents."

　"I really should go meet them both, but why are you suddenly thinking of going to England? What about the band?"
