Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　It was the Metron who brought Chihaya Aine here. Of course, she had prepared information for trading intelligence. As for why she brought Aine here.

　"Boss Baltan, can you give her a business card?"

　"No problem at all."

　As he said that, Alien Baltan took out a business card of "Monster Bar" from the chest pocket of his bartender uniform and handed it to Chihaya Aine.

　"Hey! Didn't they say that people who can transform into Ultraman can't enter the Monster Bar? Why did you give me this?"

　"Because Ultraman will leave sooner or later, and when Ultraman leaves, you can come to the Monster Bar as a guest."

　"Don't mention it, Aine, you'll be quite popular then. Being Ultraman's human form is something you can brag about at the Monster Bar."

　"There's no need for this~~"

　Aine felt a little embarrassed and shy. Although she was quite vain and definitely enjoyed this kind of occasion and atmosphere, would it really not cause trouble if this matter was exposed? It felt so suspicious.

　"Then let's continue our transaction."

　The Metron cleared his throat and spoke out a piece of information that was important enough.

　"Emperor of the Dark Universe, the Empera star has been resurrected."

　"This information is indeed shocking enough. Is it true?"

　"The intelligence information given to me by the Mefilas people is quite accurate."

　"That should be correct."

　The conversation between Metron and Baltan left Aiyin confused. Who was Emperor Empera of the Dark Universe? Ultraman should know, but unfortunately, he was still asleep and had no way to find out from him.

　"So where's the intelligence we want?"

　"The Kyrieloids did come to Earth in your time and space, but this is all the information I know."

　"Hey! Boss Baltan, the value of this information is totally disproportionate."

　"Then I owe you something. Next time you have any information you'd like to gather, come to the Monster Bar and I can provide you with two pieces of information for free. Of course, the value of the information won't exceed the total of the information you gave me."

　Just like that, the information transaction at the door of the Monster Bar ended, and Baltan was about to return to the Monster Bar, but before leaving, he gave Chihaya Aine some instructions.

　"Please be sure to keep the Monster Bar business card. Anyone with this card can find the Monster Bar. Please remember this."

　"I understand."

　Chihaya Aine nodded. She would treat the "Monster Bar" business card like a beta magic wand and would never let it be lost and picked up by others.

　"Then let's meet again by chance."

　Alien Baltan returned to the Monster Bar, and it was time for Chihaya Aine and Alien Metron to go back as well. However, on the way back, she felt a little curious.

　"Who is the Emperor of the Dark Universe, Star Empera?"

　"A very dangerous existence, an enemy of the Ultramen of the Land of Light."

　"He died? And came back to life?"

　"Yes, Alien Empera was once defeated by Ultraman Mebius and his companions on Earth, but for such a dangerous creature, it is not surprising that he was resurrected from the dead."

　Just tell me, how many times has Bayonetta come back to life? And Ultraman from the Land of Light, coming back to life is as easy as drinking water and eating.

　The life solidification technology invented by the evil Ultraman A Guang allows Ultramen to no longer worry about death. The first generation of Ultramen have begun to revive since the Showa period.

　The Emperor of the Dark Universe, Alien Emperor Anperla, also has reason to say that if the Ultraman of your Kingdom of Light can come back to life, why can't I, the Great Emperor of the Dark Universe, do so?

　Although the resurrection time was too long, the Dark Universe Emperor Anperla finally returned from the darkness of the universe.

　However, Chihaya Aine has only heard the name of Alien Empera from the people of Alien Metron, and has no idea how dangerous this Dark Universe Emperor is.

　"Then why did Mefilas know this kind of news?"

　"Let me tell you."

　Mefilas, who monitors the entire Earth on a daily basis and eavesdropped on the conversation between Chihaya Aine and the Metron aliens, felt the need to speak up and explain when this topic came up.

　"Because Alien Empera sent a messenger to invite me to become the new Four Heavenly Lords of Darkness."

　"Eh? What's with this Dragon Quest RPG setting? By the way, Mefilas, did you agree?"

　"No, I refused."

　The Anperla people are indeed feared, but what about the Mefilas people, who were once one of the Four Dark Lords and executed their own subordinates with their own hands over a disagreement?

　The cruelty and ruthlessness of the Ampera people are enough to make all the Mephilas people stay away from this dark universe emperor.

　Volume 1: 73. Metis

　The information obtained from the exchange at the Monster Bar is that the aliens named Kyrieloid have been confirmed to have arrived on Earth.

　on.

　Although for some reason, the Kirieroids have not caused any major disturbance, Chihaya Aine still needs to pay attention to this matter.

　However, this caused Chihaya Aine to have a small doubt, and she asked Mefilas directly.

　"Mefilas, there are aliens and monsters coming to Earth. How did you discover them?"

　Chihaya Aine had some curious questions. When aliens and monsters appeared on Earth, Mephilas was the first to discover them.

　After he notified Chihaya Aine, Aine would immediately transform into Ultraman to fight.

　But the case of Metron seemed to be an exception. She kidnapped many people on Earth and had been operating secretly for some time, but Mephilas didn't find out.

　It was only later that Mephilas noticed the existence of the Metron aliens for some reason and informed Chihaya Aine.

　So Aine was very concerned about this matter. She was very curious about how Mephilas detected the appearance of aliens and monsters on Earth?

　"Are you curious? Then I'll tell you."

　Mephilas did not intend to hide this. Trust was built on the basis of mutual understanding. Moreover, Mephilas, like Ultraman, was not an omnipotent god. He also had blind spots in his vision and it was impossible for him to be omniscient and omnipotent.

　"Mefilas are aliens with an IQ of 10,000."

　"How is that possible! How can anyone have an IQ of 10,000? Not even an alien can have one."

　Chihaya Aine felt like she was being fooled like a child, with an IQ of 10,000... If she believed this, her IQ would be as high as 250.

　"The IQ I'm talking about is the super brain of the Mephilas people. In your Earthlings' conception, it's a super brain that's even more powerful than a supercomputer."

　"A high IQ does not mean intelligence. IQ refers to the ability to remember, understand, learn, calculate, analyze and create."

　"Through your Earthling network and observation satellites in space, my super brain can retrieve the intelligence I need at any time."

　"In other words, as long as someone on Earth discovers aliens or monsters and posts the news online, even if it's captured by a networked camera, I can spot them immediately."

　"On the other hand, if the person maintains a human form and moves around, it will be difficult for me to retrieve the target person from the big data on the Internet."

　After Mephilas's detailed explanation, Chihaya Aine finally understood. Okay...it seems Mephilas really is an alien with an IQ of 10,000. As for whether Aine's IQ is as high as 250? That's not going to be discussed for now.

　"In other words, if the Kyrieloids were active on Earth in human form, it would be difficult for you, Mefilas, to detect them, right?"

　"That's right. The Kirieloids themselves are spiritual life forms. They have no physical form and operate by possessing humans."

　"Compared to aliens disguised as Earthlings, Kyrieloids are much harder to spot unless they actively reveal themselves."

　"Well... now we can only wait for the Kirieloids to show themselves."

　Chihaya Aine gave up the idea of ​​continuing to investigate the Kirieloid people and decided to hold her M78 band's debut live first.

　......

　"Xiao Xiang...I feel much better than before."

　"Nothing, just found the target."

　In an open-air coffee shop, Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu met for a talk. Shoko's life was indeed much better than before because he no longer had to work to support his family and take care of his useless father. Hei Xiang also slowly began to transform into Bai Xiang. It turned out that his bad temper was caused by the hard work.

　"If Xiaoxiang gets better, I'll be relieved."

　"Speaking of which, our band's debut live is coming up in a few days. Do you want to come and see it?"

　Xiangzi still remembered Aine's words in her heart. Today she specially invited Xiaomu to meet her just to invite her to watch the debut live performance of M78 band.

　But Little Cucumber is no ordinary person. As soon as the Cucumber Sword Lady opened her mouth, she instantly broke through the armor and dealt a critical strike, directly inflicting real damage to Xiangzi.

　"What about CRYCHIC..."

　"Don't mention that stuff anymore!"

　Toyokawa Shoko's face changed. She stood up, took the bill on the table and went to pay. Finally, Shoko only left a sentence for Mu.

　"You should wake up. CRYCHIC no longer exists."

　"It no longer exists..."

　Looking at Toyokawa Shoko's back as she left, Wakaba Mutsu stood up and slowly left like a doll. Her figure was reflected in the window of the cafe, and Wakaba Mutsu inside the window smiled at herself.

　"I'm the only one who cares about Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu's friend."

　"Metis..."

　"Don't worry, I'll be here soon, become a real human and live with Xiaomu."

　"Um..."

　Ruoye Mu nodded to himself in the mirror and smiled from the heart.

　As long as Metis is here, everything will be fine.

　.....

　"That's great, Roselia agreed to participate in the show."

　"If Roselia is alright, RAS will definitely participate, and then all the participating bands will be found."

　The preparations for M78's debut live performance went very smoothly. Chihaya Aine successfully invited a well-known professional girl band. The next step was for M78 to show their skills at the live performance.

　"Don't just be happy, hurry up and rehearse. We still have rehearsals and soundchecks in a couple of days."

　Li Xi, who was sitting on the drum set, urged, saying that the live performance was only a few days away, and Chihaya Aine had to run around everywhere. It was a rare opportunity for all the band members to get together, so they had to practice well.

　"Don't worry, Lalixi. We're already very experienced. Just don't get nervous and mess up your performance on stage."

　"I really envy your personality. Don't you even look at the bands you invited to perform? I don't want to be thought of as a clown."

　The pressure brought by Roselia and RAS is very enormous. Lixi knows how powerful these two professional girl bands are, so he doesn't want to become a stepping stone between the two.

　"It's okay. Look, isn't Xiaoxiang acting very calm?"

　"Don't use me as an example."

　Shoko Toyokawa had a calm face, even though this debut Live performance was a gamble on the future and fate of the M78 band.

　But if Toyokawa Shoko failed, the most she could do was go back in a Maybach and become a rich girl, and be forced to inherit the family business.

　We cannot generalize between people.

　Volume 1: 74. Petting cats is a good way to be civilized

　dub, a live house that can accommodate thousands of spectators, is where the M78 band performed their debut live.

　Renting a venue of this size is not cheap. According to Ms. Suzuki, the total budget for renting a live house, inviting a performing band, and various other expenses is 600 million yen.

　When Aine heard that it would cost 600 million yen to hold a live performance, she couldn't help but complain, isn't this a bit too expensive?

　But Mephilas doesn't care about this little money at all. Indeed... to aliens, the money of earthlings is just a number on a modifier.

　The day after finishing the band rehearsal, Chihaya Aine and her friends came to dub for rehearsal and audition, and met Roselia and the members of the RAS band here.

　"Yukina, our RAS band must defeat you this time!"

　"Yeah...come on."

　After casually responding to Chu Pingfang's declaration of war, Roselia's lead singer and leader, Minato Yukina, turned around and started petting the cat.

　"This kid, Lenai, looks just like a cat no matter how many times I see him."

　Minato Yukina was stroking Lena's chin, and Lena squinted her eyes and let her do it. It was obvious that the cat was enjoying it.

　Yukina Minato, a senior cat lover, can't walk when she sees a cat. Only when she pets a cat can you see a gentle expression on her cold face.

　Yukina also likes girls with cat attributes, such as Toyama Kasumi's cat ear hairstyle and Chu Pingfang's cat headphones.

　When faced with requests or challenges from these two people, Yukina Minato often couldn't resist and agreed. She had no way of rejecting a girl with a cat-like nature.

　Chihaya Aine who was standing by seemed to understand why Roselia agreed to come and participate. It turned out that Yukina came over to pet the cat. Lenai really is a congenital Bandoli holy body, who can attract the help of all the seniors.

　After all, it was the debut live of the band that Lenai belonged to, so there was nothing wrong with Yukina bringing Roselia to help out.
