Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"Sure enough, you are following me."

　Just at this moment, the door of the ward opened, and Shoko Toyokawa, Deng Takamatsu and others also came to the hospital to visit Chihaya Aine.

　"Because I'm curious about Xiaoxiang's situation. Sorry~!"

　Ai Ne apologized profusely but didn't seem apologetic at all, and Toyokawa Shoko didn't bother to blame her.

　If it were in the past, the evil Xiaoxiang would have been furious, but now there is no point in getting angry at a guy lying on a hospital bed. Xiangzi was actually amused by the anger.

　"It's very rude to pry into other people's privacy. Don't do it again next time."

　"Okay, I know."

　Aiyin agreed with all her heart, but without any sincerity. Does she mean she will dare to do it again next time?

　"Forget it...you should just take care of yourself."

　Xiangzi, who no longer wanted to compete with Chihaya Aine in wits and courage, had already focused her thoughts on something else.

　Good and bad are interdependent. The appearance of the monster killed many people and almost killed himself and his bastard father, but thanks to the appearance of the monster, things took a slight turn for the better.

　The elder of the Toyokawa family, Toyokawa Sadaharu and Toyokawa Shoko reached an agreement.

　Volume 1: 59.168 billion yen

　That happened on the day Toyokawa Shoko left the hospital. After visiting Chihaya Aine, she had planned to return to the temporary relief station set up by the Japanese government with her bastard father, but Toyokawa Sadaharu decided to have a good talk with his stubborn granddaughter.

　"168 billion yen, this is the company's loss caused by your father. If he can pay back this loss, I will let him return to the Toyokawa family and return to his original position."

　"That bastard dad...how could he even get on!"

　"Then you pay it back for him."

　Toyokawa Sadaharu said this without blinking an eye. He didn't care at all that Toyokawa Shoko in front of him was his granddaughter. As the leader of the Toyokawa Group, what he valued was the interests of the Toyokawa family.

　"If you think you can't pay it back, then give up your useless father and come back to the Toyokawa family."

　"Okay! I'll pay back that bastard dad. 168 billion yen, right?"

　Shoko Toyokawa was a stubborn person at heart. She gritted her teeth and agreed to the agreement with her grandfather Sadaharu Toyokawa to repay her father's loss of 168 billion yen.

　"As expected, you are still as stubborn as your mother. So let it be."

　"Mr. Tsuburaya Eiji from your office will assist you with your work."

　"We'll also lend you the connections of the Toyokawa family, so do your best."

　Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't say much more. He was already kind to his useless son-in-law.

　The ultimate righteousness has been achieved.

　Mizuho was determined to marry that man no matter what, so she had no choice but to let him marry into the Toyokawa family and change his name to Toyokawa Kiyoshi.

　Toyokawa Sadaharu also gave this man a chance and handed over the affairs of the Toyokawa Group to him, but a waste is still a waste after all, and there is no way to support a useless person.

　After Mizuho's death, Toyokawa Sadaharu completely gave up on this useless son-in-law. How could he possibly let the Toyokawa Group be inherited by him?

　It was even more impossible for Sadaharu Toyokawa to hand over the Toyokawa Group, which he had built, to a collateral relative. So who could be the sole heir to the Toyokawa Group? Naturally, it was Shoko Toyokawa, the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

　But Xiangzi is still too naive and extremely stubborn. She even cuts ties with the Toyokawa Group for the sake of her useless father.

　However, this is a good opportunity for Toyokawa Sadaharu, allowing Xiangzi to experience the life of the lower class. Experiencing the hardships and cruelty of society will be of great help to her growth.

　Originally, Toyokawa Sadaharu wanted to continue to wait and see for a while, but after this accident happened, Toyokawa Rondo realized that this was not going to work, so he and Shoko took the initiative to reach this agreement.

　If Xiangzi can really earn 168 billion yen and make up for the losses of Toyokawa Group, then everyone will be happy. Xiangzi's ability proves that there is absolutely no problem for her to be his successor.

　Even if they let that useless son-in-law come back, they would at most give him a nominal position. The Toyokawa family can still afford to support a useless person.

　If Xiangzi failed and gave up, she would bow her head on her own initiative. From now on, Toyokawa Sadaharu would strictly plan Xiangzi's life and train her to be a perfect successor.

　Regardless of winning or losing in this bet, there is only one winner, and that is Toyokawa Sadaharu. Toyokawa Nodori sees the situation too clearly.

　But how could Xiangzi help her bastard father repay the loss of 168 billion yen? Xiangzi burst into tears.

　.....

　After returning to the hospital, Aiyin was able to get out of bed and move around. She recovered very quickly. Apart from some sore muscles all over her body, she was basically fine.

　"Aine-chan, we're here to visit you!"

　"KSM-senpai?!"

　The unexpected visitors turned out to be Toyama Kasumi and her friends, and Chihaya Aine was flattered.

　"KSM seniors, why are you here?"

　"We heard it from Lixi."

　Lixi, who works at the RING store, mentioned this matter and Xiangcheng heard it, so KSM ran to the hospital to visit his junior.

　"But you are really unlucky to encounter such a thing."

　"I'm fine. Compared to those who unfortunately lost their lives, I'm very lucky."

　Aiyin, who always believed that she was a "lucky person", was forced to remain silent for a moment when hearing her words. KSM, who was usually carefree and cheerful, had to remain silent for a moment.

　"A lot of people have indeed died. Everyone from HHW has gone to the North District to hold a live event to encourage those affected."

　Xianjuanxin's dream is to put smiles on everyone's faces. After this incident happened, the Xianjuan Group took action immediately, and the HHW band continued to perform as usual, hoping that people who experienced the disaster could cheer up.

　"But I hope Aine-chan can recover soon, so we can all hold a live together then."

　"Yeah, sure."

　With the blessings from KSM and the others, Aine must work hard to get better soon.

　Meanwhile, in the Akabane area of ​​Kita-ku, Tokyo, where the volcanic bird Baton landed, Genmaki's band Hello, Happy World! is holding a live performance, hoping to cheer everyone up and cheer them up soon.

　In this live performance, there were two special audience members, both of whom were aliens.

　"Metron, what do you think about this?"

　"What do you think? Ultraman has defeated the monsters once again and protected the people of Earth!"

　"Don't play dumb with me, volcanic bird Patton, it doesn't belong on this earth."

　To be precise, whether it is Mephilas or the Metrons, they are all aliens that do not belong to this time and space.

　Ever since the Ultramen frequently traveled through parallel time and space, spanning various time and space to protect the earth and maintain peace in the universe.

　Aliens also began to travel through various parallel universes. Mephilas and Metron both came from the parallel universe where the Kingdom of Light existed in the M78 nebula.

　It is not surprising that aliens have the means to cross parallel time and space, but it is very surprising that monsters can also cross parallel time and space and come to this earth.

　"The volcanic bird Barton, someone must have sent it to this parallel Earth."

　"I'm curious, besides me, who else has set their sights on the Earth and Ultraman?"

　Before Mefilas's game begins, the Earth welcomes a new troublemaker. He has to investigate this uninvited guest to find out his true identity.

　"Then Metron, I can entrust you with a task.

　Love?"

　"Huh? Why?!"

　"Because I'm the president and you're my employee, it's that simple."

　"Damn it, I got fooled!"

　Salaries are not free, even aliens have to work hard, Mefilas never recruits employees who eat for free.

　Volume 1: 60. Shocking Wisdom

　"Chihaya Aine, you! You just got out of the hospital, don't run around."

　"I'm sorry, Lixi. I wanted to come over and see it anyway, so I can only ask you to accompany me."

　Chihaya Aine, who had just been discharged from the hospital and was supposed to be recuperating at home, and hadn't even gone to school, now appeared near Akabane, Kita-ku, Tokyo.

　This is where the volcanic bird Barton landed on Earth. The ferocious monster appeared for only a few minutes, but it caused unforgettable damage to the people nearby.

　Unlike the time when King Black appeared in downtown Tokyo, the flames and toxins of the volcanic bird Barton are instantly fatal to the people on Earth.

　Even though Aine became Ultraman quickly, many people died in the disaster brought by the monster.

　Aiyin and Lixi arrived at their destination. The reconstruction work had already begun here. The big hands of the Genjumaki Group began to exert their strength as usual. Perhaps the residents who escaped the disaster by chance would have a better life in the future than in the past.

　"Please go to the memorial for the victims. I want to give them a bouquet of flowers."

　"You...ah, okay."

　Li Xi had no way to stop Aine. Since he was already here, he should go over and take a look and pay tribute to the victims.

　By the way, Chihaya Aine didn’t have any friends or acquaintances who died in accidents, right? Isn’t she too kind-hearted?

　According to the location mentioned in the online information, Aine and Lixi found the place. In fact, they could have found it without even looking for it deliberately because there were so many people.

　I don't know who initiated the event to commemorate the victims, but quite a lot of people came here. Except for a small number of people who came here sincerely to mourn the victims, the vast majority of people were those who had nothing to do with it and came here purely to join in the fun and get some attention.

　For example, a certain teacher Miao Meng, as expected, refreshed at the place where the monster appeared, and started to check in and live broadcast to fight for traffic.

　Let’s not talk about a certain teacher Miaomeng. Aine and Lixi seemed to see someone they knew here, Toyokawa Shoko.

　"Xiaoxiang, why are you here?"

　"Chihaya Aine, Shiina Riki?"

　Seeing Aine who took the initiative to greet him and Riki who looked reluctant, Xiangzi was stunned and asked back.

　"I just came to take a look, why are you here?"

　"Chihaya Aine, didn't you just get out of the hospital?"

　"Just like you, Xiaoxiang, I wanted to come over and take a look. My mother won't let me go out alone, so I had to ask Lixi to come with me."

　"Really... Now that you've come here and taken a look, you should go back and get some rest."

　Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to continue this topic, and Aine didn't want to ask any more questions. Both the timing and the occasion were extremely inappropriate, so it was better to just leave it at that.

　For a moment, the three of them were silent, and finally Li Xi took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

　"Go back soon, or your mother will have to lecture you."

　"Um... I'm sorry, Lixi. See you later, Xiaoxiang."

　Aine waved goodbye, and Toyokawa Shoko watched them both leave, lost in thought.

　It was time to say goodbye to the place where she had lived for a year. It was a life full of pain and hardship that was hard to look back on, but at this moment, Shoko Toyokawa actually still felt a little nostalgic.

　At least living here, I can still choose to actively escape from everything, but now, there is no way back.

　Shoko Toyokawa chose to reach an agreement with her grandfather. She must earn 168 billion yen and return to the Toyokawa family openly, instead of accepting her fate.

　Fortunately, Toyokawa Shoko's useless father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, seems to have come to his senses.

　He found a part-time job and although he didn't earn much, wasn't it natural for an adult to support himself?

　Regardless of whether he had previously wanted to force Toyokawa Shoko to return to the Toyokawa family by committing self-degradation, it was impossible for a grown man with intact limbs to be depraved for a whole year and still need to be supported by his underage daughter.

　I have to say that what Toyokawa Shoko's grandfather said was true. Toyokawa Kiyoshi was indeed a waste and there was no way he could be helped.

　But now, Shoko Toyokawa's suffering is probably over, maybe...?

　.....

　"Hello~Sushi, I'm back!"

　Returning to Su Shi's home was like returning to her own home for Metron. It would be better to say that she had completely regarded Su Shi's home as her own home.

　"Metron, you ran to where the monster appeared, right?"

　"Yes, I was a little curious about why this guy, the Volcano Bird Barton, appeared on this earth, so I went to take a look."

　"Volcano Bird Barton? Is that the name of the monster from before?"

　"Yes, it is a monster that lives on Earth, but not on this Earth. It's on another Earth in a parallel universe."

　"Parallel time and space?"

　The words coming out of Metron's mouth are full of science fiction. She is indeed an alien. It would be even better if she didn't run around in worldly clothes again.

　"Sigh... Why does this kind of thing keep happening lately? I wonder how everyone is doing."

　Ms. Su Shi, who was completely squeezed out of the band's small circle, Xiao Xiang and the pink-haired girl formed a new band. Ms. Nagasaki Su Shi's wish to revive CRYCHIC was completely shattered.

　However, with a Metron alien causing trouble at home, Nagasaki Sushi was not as crazy as before. It turned out that Ms. Sushi's illness was mostly caused by suppressing her emotions.
