Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　However, what Ain did not expect was that Toyokawa Shoko, who rarely even said hello when they met at school, actually took the initiative to find Ain.

　"You've almost recovered, right? When will you resume band activities?"

　"Um, Xiaoxiang, you seem very anxious?"

　"I'm not anxious. It's your own fault! You followed me and ended up in that state. You should look for the reasons yourself."

　"Oh...I'm sorry."

　Aine took the initiative to apologize. She didn't know why she apologized, but she couldn't reveal that she had transformed into Ultraman to fight. At this time, just saying "I'm sorry" can pretend nothing happened.

　Toyokawa Shoko was not being unreasonable. After seeing Chihaya Aine apologize sincerely, her tone softened a little and she continued.

　"It's almost time to resume band activities. President Eiji Tsuburaya said that the arrangements will depend entirely on your physical condition. Really..."

　Whether she was a young lady or working outside, Shoko Toyokawa had seen many capitalists.

　But this is the first time I have seen a president who is so caring towards his employees. I really doubt whether he is from Earth. He looks so much like a human.

　Volume 1: 67. Demons from Another Dimension

　The activities of the M78 band will resume as soon as possible, but Chihaya Aine has another matter to deal with first. The Metron alien has returned with information.

　It was still the same cafe as yesterday. Chihaya Aine, who had just finished school at Haneda Academy and was wearing the Haneda school uniform, and Metron, who was wearing the Tsuki no Mori school uniform, met here.

　"Metron, what's going on?"

　"How should I put it, the situation is more complicated than I thought."

　Metron summarized her words and said that the story started from last night. She accepted Chihaya Aine's request and turned into Metron's original appearance last night to find the man named Kobayashi Taro.

　Taro Kobayashi was very excited and happy to see the alien Taijun coming back to Earth. He didn't even hold a grudge against Metron for leaving him, but ended up being arrested by the police and put in jail.

　Under Metron's questioning, Kobayashi Taro revealed all the intelligence and information, and the result was...

　"Huh? You're saying this is the opposition's plan?!"

　"Yeah, I don't have much interest in the Japanese government. It seems like they're just trying to boost their approval rating or something."

　"So this is ah..."

　Chihaya Aine was very disappointed. No wonder Mefilas thought that the people on Earth were stupid. Japan is divided into the ruling party and the opposition party. The ruling party is the party currently in power in the government, and the opposition party is the party that did not gain the ruling position in the election.

　The relationship between the opposition party and the ruling party is like that between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States. It cannot be said that there is a feud between them to kill their father, but at least it is a typical party relationship of incompatibility and struggle for power and profit.

　"I should have known that the key figures in the Japanese government are a bunch of idiots."

　Aiyin, who was lying on the table and complaining silently, said, there have been many news reports in the past, saying that high-ranking Japanese officials are members of cult organizations, and even the Prime Minister is related to the cult.

　Because Japan's cults are good at spreading misleading ideas, for politicians, cult believers are loyal votes. In order to consolidate their own power and status, the Japanese government itself turns a blind eye to cults. How could they go against their own interests?

　Among countries with democratic systems, Japan, South Korea, and the United States are all hardest hit by the proliferation of cults.

　Because the believers who have been brainwashed and bewitched by cults have lost their ability to judge and have become loyal votes, they are targets that politicians must win over. It is not surprising that government officials personally get involved in cult organizations.

　"Alas... no

　Can humans stop these idiots and bring down divine punishment on them? "

　Aiyin complained helplessly that these insects, as Earthlings, were really ruining the reputation of Mother Earth.

　"That's not necessarily true~!"

　"Eh? Metron, what did you say?"

　"Didn't I say that the situation is more complicated than I thought?"

　Hearing what Metron said, Chihaya Aine immediately sat up. It was not strange for the people of Metron that the Japanese were involved in cults. It was not her first time to come to Earth.

　If Metrondou feels that the situation is a bit complicated, then there must be something else going on.

　"Any other inside information?"

　"This has to do with what President Mefilas asked me to do."

　After the incident with the volcano bird monster Barton, Mephilas commissioned the Metron alien to do something. This matter was not told to Chihaya Aine at the time because she was still lying in the ICU ward.

　Now, it would be a good opportunity for Metron to share this situation with Aine.

　"The volcanic bird Barton that appeared on Earth before shouldn't be a monster that exists on this Earth, so President Mefilas and I split up to investigate."

　"I don't know how President Mefilas did his research, but I went to the Monster Bar."

　"Monster Bar?"

　Chihaya Aine heard a very novel name. Deng must like this kind of place very much, but minors are not allowed to go to the bar.

　"The Monster Bar is a bar run by Baltan, specifically for us aliens to exchange information."

　"Hasn't Baltan been destroyed by Ultraman?"

　"There are Baltans in more than one universe. They exist in other parallel universes as well, and they're incredibly powerful."

　For example, the Baltan alien who opened the Monster Bar mentioned by Metron is very powerful. It is precisely because there is such a powerful boss who can control the situation that the aliens who go to the Monster Bar dare not act recklessly.

　"But, Metron, didn't your spaceship break down? How did you leave Earth? Did Mephilas lend you his spaceship?"

　"No, the Monster Bar is on Earth, located in 3-1 Ekimae-honmachi, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture."

　"what?"

　Aine gasped, how come she didn't know that there was a bar opened by aliens on Earth? Mephilas never told her about this.

　Seeing that Chihaya Aine seemed to have misunderstood, Metron waved his hand and explained.

　"Don't get me wrong, the Monster Bar doesn't just exist on one Earth. It's a singularity, and you can go to the Monster Bar on any Earth traveling through time and space."

　"What kind of black technology is this?!"

　"So I've already said that the owner of the Monster Bar is very powerful. He even possesses technology that surpasses that of the Land of Light. It seems that the bar owner's previous name was Dark Baltan."

　Let's put the topic of the Monster Bar and Dark Baltan aside for now. Anyway, Metron went to the Monster Bar from this Earth through the "anywhere door" and inquired about some intelligence from the aliens in the Monster Bar.

　Although we didn't get any information about the volcanic bird Patton, we did get another piece of news that was of concern.

　A group of spiritual life forms called the Kirieloids, who once ruled the Earth, seem to have strange movements. It is said that they are from the parallel universe of Ultraman Tiga and are tough guys who have caused Ultraman Tiga to suffer a hard battle.

　The most common method used by the Kyrieloids is to use religious means to brainwash the people on Earth, so that the people on Earth can worship them as gods, thereby achieving the goal of dominating mankind and ruling the earth.

　Because the Kyrieloids are spiritual life forms, they have no physical form and need to occupy the human mind and manipulate the human body to act. Therefore, compared with other aliens, the Kyrieloids' behavior is more covert and more cunning.

　"Although I'm not sure, if it's a Kirieloid, then you're in big trouble, Chihaya Aine, Ultraman's human form."

　Volume 1: 68. Launch of Cat Love TV

　Kirieloids, aliens that no one has ever heard of, although Chihaya Aine doesn't know many aliens either.

　But there is no need to worry about this kind of thing. If the Kirieloids really come here and want to invade the earth, Aine can just transform into Ultraman and fight.

　Chihaya Aine was more interested in the monster bar that the people of Metron mentioned than the Kirieloid people, whose presence was unknown.

　"Monster Bar? In Tokyo? Can I go check it out?"

　"People who can become Ultraman and members of the Earth Defense Force are not allowed to enter the Monster Bar."

　"Why!"

　Chihaya Aine made a dissatisfied voice. Why does the Monster Bar have such a strange ban? Aine wants to protest!

　"Isn't this common sense? The Japanese mafia wouldn't invite the police to their organization as guests, would they?"

　"All right..

　.. "

　Aiyin showed a look of reluctance and disappointment, and she would go back and ask Mefilas if she could go to the monster bar to play.

　"Oh, there's one more thing."

　Aiyin still remembered Toyokawa Shoko's words in her heart. Since Metron was right in front of her, she decided to talk to her agent about the band's activities.

　I have to say that the efficiency of aliens is quite high. After Chihaya Aine and Metron discussed it, the next live performance of the M78 band was quickly decided.

　"Are you going to start a live show?"

　"Yes, this is the official debut live."

　Chihaya Aine gathered the members of the M78 band to the RING store for a live meeting. This time no one was absent, even Toyokawa Shoko came early.

　"Time, place, and specific plans."

　Toyokawa Shoko changed her usual behavior and seemed to be very concerned about her debut live, which made Shiina Ritsuki look at her again. Why did this woman suddenly become so active?

　"It's a week later, and the venue is a live house called dub, which can accommodate over a thousand people. The sound system and space are perfect."

　"It's said that this is where the RAS band often holds live performances. It's a live house where only professional bands are allowed to perform."

　"Are we going to such a powerful place all of a sudden?!"

　Shiina Riki was a little panicked. As someone who worked at the RING store, she knew the name of dub, which could be said to be the top live house in the city.

　"Very well, that's all."

　Shoko Toyokawa nodded with satisfaction. The debut start of the M78 band was in line with her expectations.

　As long as they can make use of the connections of the Toyokawa Group, they will definitely be able to make this band popular, and this way the debt of 168 billion yen will finally be resolved.

　"Xiaoxiang feels like he's become very positive all of a sudden."

　Chihaya Aine expressed what everyone was thinking. How come Toyokawa Shoko has become a different person? I heard that she was completely different when she was in the CRYCHIC group. This woman is really fickle.

　"My business is not important. What's important is to practice. I don't want to have any problems during Live."

　"Sure enough...Xiao Xiang has become so strange!"

　The person who couldn't even be called to practice when she asked him before, now said such things. Aine really wondered if this Toyokawa Shoko was a alien.

　"Oh, I forgot to tell you something!"

　It just so happened that all the band members were here. Chihaya Aine remembered the promise she had made to the Metron people, so she told everyone about Nagasaki Motoyo.

　"Nagasaki Suyo has joined Tsuburaya Agency. Our agent asked us to bring her along when we go on activities."

　"what?"

　Toyokawa Shoko exhaled on the spot. What the hell is this? Nagasaki Suyo joined Tsuburaya Affairs? Is that woman so difficult?

　"No, I'm not interested in getting tangled up with that Nagasaki Motoyo. Let's just focus on preparing for the Live."

　"What's the matter? There's no conflict among everyone in CRYCHIC, right? Xiaoxiang, you must have been forced to quit CRYCHIC for some reason, but we're all still good friends, right?"

　Having promised the Metron people, Chihaya Aine had to do her best to handle this matter. The conflict in CRYCHIC should have been brought out and resolved long ago.

　"Then can you guarantee that that woman Nagasaki Suyo won't interfere with our Live?"

　"Maybe..."

　Chihaya Aine herself was not quite sure, so it seemed that she needed to meet with Nagasaki Motoyo in private to have a talk.

　Seeing that Aine took the responsibility of this matter, Toyokawa Xiangzi didn't say much. It's not that she didn't miss the good times in the past of CRYCHIC, but the pressure of reality forced Xiangzi to cut off from her past self.

　Let’s stop talking nonsense and start band practice. The official debut live will be in a week, and this will be extremely stressful for Li Xi.

　After practicing in the RING store until the evening, everyone in the M78 band was going home. When Aine was about to go home, Lenai Maomao grabbed her sleeve.

　"I want to go somewhere, accompany me."

　"Eh? Okay, no problem!"

　It was rare for the usually elusive Lenna to take the initiative to invite her, and Chihaya Aine happily agreed. Then she followed Lenna to a live house called SPACE, but it had been closed for a long time, and even vines were growing outside the walls.

　"here it is?"

　"It's SPACE, grandma's live house."

　Lenai was sitting at the door, touching the cat resting at the door familiarly. She had been to this place many times, and it was very familiar to her.

　"Eh? Is this the live house run by Lenai's grandmother?"

　"Well, because grandma is not in good health,

　It closed down years ago.”

　Lenai's grandmother, Tsuzuki Shifune, created the stage for big girl bands and is the benefactor of many girl bands. Both PPP and Roselia were deeply influenced by Ms. Tsuzuki Shifune.

　That's why Kasumi Toyama and the others take special care of Lenai. Lenai, a cat with the innate Bandoli body, has unlimited connections.

　"Grandma said that SPACE cannot be everyone's lifelong home, so she closed SPACE."
