Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"Humph—it's obvious that this guy is deliberately provoking me!"

　"I just repeated Xiaoxiang's words verbatim, forget it..."

　Aine didn't continue chatting with Ms. Su Shi, but decided to discuss business.

　"The agent arranged for you to perform with our band. I also asked Xiaoxiang for her opinion. She said that as long as you don't interfere with the band's live performances, it's fine."

　"So Nagasaki Suyo, can you promise me that you won't do anything weird?"

　"Who do you think I am!"

　The expression on Su Shi's face was a little embarrassed, as if she was here to destroy the M78 band. Couldn't she replace Chihaya Aine and kick this stinky pinkie out of the band?

　"But the band already has a bassist, so we can have two guitarists. Two bassists would be redundant."

　Originally, when playing some music, the bassist was dispensable, and bass jokes never get old.

　"I'm not a bassist. I studied violin and played double bass in the wind ensemble. Please don't think I can't play anything else besides bass."

　Nagasaki Suyo showed a confident smile. Just a stinky pink-haired girl, don't look down on me.

　She serves as the bassist in CRYCHIC only because of Xiaoxiang's invitation. As a student of Yue Zhisen, Ms. Su Shi has quite comprehensive talents.

　"Violin? Double bass? Is there such a position in the orchestra?"

　"Of course there is. Xiaoxiang's favorite band, Morfonica, has a violinist."

　“This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

　Chihaya Aine has learned a lot, but the question is, how to arrange for Nagasaki Motoyo?

　The M78 band's lineup is already perfect, and they are about to perform their debut live. No matter how you look at it, there is no place for Ms. Su Shi.

　Chihaya Aine couldn't help but put her eyes on Deng. Deng's singing was also very nice.

　"Deng, why don't you try to form an idol band?"

　"what?"

　"The agency didn't say they were only signing one band. How about forming another band?"

　Chihaya Aine suddenly had an idea. Isn’t Sumimi an idol group of two people? I feel that since Deng is so cute, it would be great for her to become an idol.

　Volume 1: 71. Monster Bar

　"No, no, absolutely not."

　Takamatsu Deng shook her head after hearing this. Aine's words almost brought out her autism again.

　"Chihaya Aine, please don't make things difficult for Deng."

　Lixi was not in the RING store today. It was Nagasaki Suyo who said this. She still cares about everyone in CRYCHIC, but she is particularly concerned about Xiaoxiang.

　"But Sushi, there's no way you can join our band right now. We're about to have our debut live, and adding someone on the spur of the moment is simply impossible."

　"Then I'll just observe and practice. After all, I'm a trainee."

　Nagasaki Sushi said this with gritted teeth. Xiaoxiang formed a band with others, but she could only watch from the side. What kind of a victim plot was this? Sushi wanted to breathe heavily.

　"Then it's settled. You must keep your promise."

　"I see."

　Ms. Su Shi gnashed her teeth. She was the one who came first. This naturally evil flat pink-haired girl will have to do it herself sooner or later.

　"Su Shishi!"

　Ms. Su Shi's fantasy was interrupted before it even began. The Metron aliens wearing the Moon Forest school uniform appeared in the RING store and were waving at them.

　"How did you come?"

　Su Shi was puzzled. Didn’t Metron go to help the M78 band prepare for their debut live?

　"I miss you~!"

　"What the hell are you talking about!"

　Ms. Su Shi's face immediately turned red. This stupid alien shouldn't say such words that can easily cause misunderstandings in front of others.

　"Are you two so close?"

　Chihaya Aine felt something was wrong when she looked at Nagasaki Soyo and the Metron alien. She heard from Mefilas that Metron was disguised as an Earthling and staying at Soyo's house.

　In addition to the previous agreement between Metron and herself, she would help with the investigation, and Aine would bring Suye with her to participate in band activities. The relationship between these two people... is a bit subtle.

　"Don't think too much, she is just an ordinary friend of mine."

　"Oh~just friends."

　The tongue-rolling love sound, combined with her slightly pinched voice, makes people feel that the words are full of teasing and joking.

　"I've already told you that she and I aren't in that kind of relationship!"

　Ms. Suyo was getting anxious. Aine suddenly felt that Nagasaki Suyo was quite cute. It was a pleasure to see her defenseless face.

　"Alright, Sushishi, I still need to ask Aine-chan to handle the M78 band's debut live, so I'll borrow her first."

　"Eh? Aren't you here to look for this Chihaya Aine?"

　"Sorry, sorry~ I'll be back soon."

　Metron sticks out his tongue to act cute. Su Shi wants to be angry but can't. Alas... let it be.

　Watching Metron pull Chihaya Aine away from RING, leaving only herself and Takamatsu Deng in the store, Su Shi then cautiously spoke to Deng and asked.

　"Deng, is Xiaoxiang doing well in Haneda Academy?"

　"I don't know. Xiaoxiang doesn't really want to talk to me."

　Deng shook her head. She had fewer opportunities to interact with Toyokawa Shoko than Aine had to talk to Shoko.

　"Is Xiaoxiang treating you the same way? Does she hate us?"

　"Will not!"

　Gao Songdeng could clearly tell her about Su Shi's concerns.

　"Xiaoxiang's relationship with me and Lixi has gradually improved, and we've been talking more and more recently."

　“…”

　Ms. Sushi was about to break down. It felt like she was the only one being ignored by Toyokawa Xiangzi. Could it be that Xiangzi only hated her? This kind of thing was not allowed.

　The legendary comedian, Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, also gave an amazing performance today.

　On the other side, Metron pulled Chihaya Aine away alone. It must not be to discuss the M78 band, otherwise he would have just sat down and talked about it in front of everyone.

　"Is this information about aliens? Aliens called Kyrieloids?"

　"you are right."

　Metron didn't say much. She took Chihaya Aine directly to the subway and headed towards Kanagawa Prefecture.

　"Where are we going?"

　"Go to the Monster Bar."

　"Eh?!"

　She asked hurriedly to the surprised Aine.

　"Didn't you say that people who can transform into Ultraman are not allowed to enter the Monster Bar?"

　"You didn't say you wanted to go in. Just wait at the door. Boss Baltan is very reasonable."

　The rules of the Monster Bar are very flexible and can be transformed into Ultraman.

　Mann’s people can’t enter the bar, but that doesn’t mean they can’t wait at the door.

　Kanagawa is about 50 kilometers away from Tokyo, but it is still very fast to take the subway and you can arrive there within an hour.

　Soon, Chihaya Aine and Metron arrived at the location of the Monster Bar, 3-1 Ekimae Honmachi, Kawasaki-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

　"Um...are you sure there's a bar here?"

　A big question mark popped up in Chihaya Aine's head. What was in front of her was clearly an underground live house, but Aine could still tell the difference between a bar and a live house.

　Then again, live houses can be found everywhere. Is this the charm of the era of big girl bands?

　"That's right, it's here."

　The Metron nodded, and when she looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, she took out a card that was emitting strange colors.

　Chihaya Aine took a closer look and saw that it was a bar's business card with the name "Monster Bar" written on it.

　After taking out the "Monster Bar" business card, Metron stuck it directly on the door of the underground live house and knocked on the door.

　Fortunately, it was daytime and the underground live house had not yet opened for business, otherwise it would have been awkward to meet other guests.

　After a while, the door of the underground live house opened and a man in a bartender's uniform walked out.

　"Metron, are you bringing guests?"

　"Just like we agreed before, it's Ultraman's human form."

　"I understand. Let's talk outside."

　The man in the bartender's uniform nodded. He closed the door first, then walked up to Chihaya Aine and introduced himself.

　"I'm the owner of the Monster Bar, and I'm from Planet Baltan. You can just call me Baltan."

　"Hello there!"

　Chihaya Aine bowed politely in greeting. At times like this, one should be as polite as possible.

　"People who can become Ultraman and members of the Earth Defense Force are not allowed to enter the Monster Bar. This is the bar's rule. Please forgive me."

　"But please don't get me wrong, I'm not hostile to Ultraman. On the contrary, the Ultraman from the Land of Light has helped me."

　"But the vast majority of aliens are not so friendly towards the Ultraman from the Land of Light, so I can't invite you to the Monster Bar."

　"It's okay, it's okay." Chihaya Aine quickly waved her hands and explained.

　"I'm underage and can't go into the bar."

　"That's good."

　The owner of the Monster Bar, Baltan, who had transformed into an Earthling, nodded, and then the conversation began.

　"Follow the rules of the Monster Bar. Exchange information for information. Even if you are Ultraman's human body, you must abide by this rule."

　Volume 1: 72. News from the Ampera Star People

　Monster Bar, as a monster bar connecting many parallel time and space Earths, is a good place for aliens from different time and space Earths to communicate and exchange information with each other.

　The rules of the Monster Bar are to go to the location on the "Monster Bar" business card, stick the business card on the door and knock. If there is no door, you can stick it on the wall.

　But please do not attract the attention of the people on Earth to avoid unnecessary trouble.

　In addition, people who can transform into Ultraman and members of the Earth Defense Force are not allowed to enter the Monster Bar. This rule is very important, so it needs to be repeated three times.

　According to the trading rules of the Monster Bar, aliens who want to gather intelligence can directly apply to the bartender, who is Baltan, to exchange information.

　After the alien raised the question and Baltan nodded to indicate that he had this intelligence information, they could proceed to the next step of the formal transaction.

　The aliens need to provide a piece of equivalent intelligence information in exchange for the information they want from Baltan. As for what kind of intelligence has equal value, it depends on the judgment of Baltan.

　The above are the trading rules of the Monster Bar. In addition, you are not allowed to fight in the bar, but you can say bad things about the Land of Light and Ultraman.

　If you want to buy some drinks, you can do so. The bar naturally provides beverage service. You can settle your payments with any currency on Earth, but the Japanese yen is recommended because the Monster Bar is located near Tokyo, Japan.

　Finally, aliens who do not follow the rules of the Monster Bar will be "politely" asked to leave the bar by Baltan, and will never have the chance to come here again.

　"Information exchange? But I don't have any valuable information."

　After hearing Baltan's explanation of the Monster Bar's trading rules, Aine was a little dumbfounded. She didn't have any valuable information. She couldn't use the fact that she was in a band as information.

　"Don't worry, Ms. Chihaya Aine. You are Ultraman's human form. This information itself is quite valuable."

　"Then I'll be the intelligence myself? No, no!"

　Chihaya Aine shook her head frantically. She had not forgotten Mefilas's warning. If the malicious aliens knew that she was the human body of Ultraman, it would bring disaster to her.

　It brings danger to family and friends around you.

　“Then Miss Aine, you’ll have to exchange other intelligence information with me.”

　"I'll provide the intelligence."
