Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　Ha Jixiang was breathing heavily. She was really unable to get over Su Shi's tricks.

　"When did I ever say I was quitting M78?"

　"But...Xiao Xiang, haven't you become the new head of the Fengchuan family?"

　"So you already knew about this."

　"Xiao Mu told me."

　"So that's it..."

　Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment. Although the Toyokawa family's dirty laundry should not be made public, Aine and the others were her important companions, so she could still tell everyone.

　"Let's talk in the practice room. It's not good to discuss Toyokawa family matters outside."

　"Ok!"

　The four of them came to the practice room commonly used by the M78 band, and Shoko Toyokawa was finally able to tell them the details of the situation.

　"Just like Su Shi said, I have become the new head of the Toyokawa family, but please rest assured that I will not quit the M78 band."

　"Really? That's great!"

　After hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said, Ms. Sushi finally felt relieved, but Lixi felt a little strange.

　"Can you still play in the band now that you're the new head of the family?"

　"Hmm...it's a complicated situation, but thanks to that live performance on the Sky Stage, being able to establish a relationship with the Genmaki family is more important to the Toyokawa family than changing a few heads of the family."

　"That stupid senior, I almost forgot her immense power!"

　Li Xi, who covers her forehead, and Xian Juanxin, who has no airs of a young lady at all, often do things that are nonsensical, which often makes people forget that she is actually the most powerful chaebol daughter in the world.

　For the Toyokawa family, being able to establish a relationship with the Genmaki family means that not only would the head of the family be able to form a band, they would even be willing to just carry shoes for them.

　"But how could it be so sudden? Xiaoxiang, you became the new head of the Fengchuan family overnight."

　Aiyin didn't know much about chaebols, but she also understood that this kind of thing was definitely not a joke, and the head of the family could change it at will.

　"So the situation is very complicated. Please don't let this matter leak out."

　Toyokawa Shoko explained carefully, and only after everyone promised that the news would never be leaked did Shoko explain the reason.

　"Sankaku Hatsuka, her real name is Sankaku Hatsune, and her true identity is the illegitimate daughter of my grandfather Toyokawa Sadaharu."

　"what?!"

　"Don't be surprised yet. Wait until I finish speaking and then we can talk slowly."

　Ignoring the three people who were breathing heavily, Toyokawa Shoko continued to explain the situation. She also kept breathing heavily when she first learned about this.

　"My grandfather, Toyokawa Sadaharu, was like my father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, in that they were adopted sons of the Toyokawa family. Their power in the Toyokawa family came from my grandmother, mother, and me."

　"It turned out that after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather, Toyokawa Sadaharu, had a relationship with the housekeeper and had an illegitimate daughter."

　"This was an unforgivable scandal for the Toyokawa family, so my grandfather's power was stripped away and I inherited it, but I became the head of the Toyokawa family in name only."

　Shoko Toyokawa still knew her own situation. She was like Emperor Xian of Han during the Three Kingdoms period, a mascot used by Cao Cao to hold the emperor hostage as the legitimate source of power to control the princes.

　However, because of her participation in Sky Live, the Toyokawa family believed that Toyokawa Shoko could connect with the Genmaki family, so she, as the mascot head of the family, did have some real power.

　But this incident happened too suddenly, even Toyokawa Shoko didn't understand why it suddenly turned out like this.

　"Hatsuka...Hatsune, why did she go to the Toyokawa family and expose herself?"

　The reason for all this is that Miku Miku revealed her identity at the Toyokawa family, and the evidence was conclusive.

　All this seemed to be planned by someone. Toyokawa Sadaharu fell from power at the speed of light. Although Xiangzi's grandfather was not kicked out of the house, he had to stay in the Toyokawa family to retire.

　But it’s better this way. Now, Shoko Toyokawa and her father can finally return to the Toyokawa family openly.

　Volume 1: 124. Monster Merchant and Monsters

　"In other words, Chuhua is actually your... aunt, Xiaoxiang?"

　Chihaya Aine discovered the key point. No wonder she always felt that Chuhua’s feelings for Xiaoxiang were a bit strange. So this is what was going on.

　No, no, no... It doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it. They are not direct relatives born by the same mother. Besides, Chuhua's feelings for Xiaoxiang are too heavy. This is far beyond the feelings between relatives.

　Aiyin felt that it would be better for her not to delve into it any further, or she might be dragged into the dark hole of the heavy girl.

　"So how is Chuhua doing now?"

　Aiyin thought about it and asked with concern. She felt that Sanjiao Chuhua would be in a very difficult situation in the future.

　"Chuhua is at Fengchuan's house now and can't go out for the time being, but I will try my best to solve this problem."

　Toyokawa Shoko explained Chuhua's situation. Because she was Toyokawa Sadaharu's illegitimate daughter, she had no influence on the Toyokawa family.

　This is a huge scandal, and it must not be known to the outside world.

　Also, although Chuhua's real name is Hatsune Miku, everyone has gotten used to calling her that and it's difficult to change, so they just continue to call her that.

　"It always feels so strange, how could something like this happen so suddenly."

　Aine always felt that this matter was very subtle and too logical. Although it was a good thing for Toyokawa Shoko, when Aine thought about the conversation between her and Chuhua when they met last time, she felt that there must be something hidden.

　"You guys, don't you want to be a great detective again?"

　When Li Xi heard Aiyin mumbling to herself, she knew that this guy was starting to make trouble again, so she immediately warned him.

　"You'd better stay out of this kind of thing and stay quiet."

　"That's right, I will handle the Toyokawa family's affairs myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

　“Is it really that easy to solve…?”

　Aiyin muttered softly. She had already vaguely sensed that this matter was most likely related to Metis and it was definitely not something that could be easily resolved.

　But just as Xiangzi said, she might have to solve the Toyokawa family's affairs by herself, because Aine has more important things to do now.

　After the Sky Stage Live ended two days ago, Mefilas told Chihaya Aine important intelligence information.

　There is a group of notorious monster merchants in the universe. They send ferocious monsters to the target planet to wreak havoc, and then appear as peace messengers to sell monsters as weapons of war, forcing civilizations threatened by monsters and unable to resist to buy monsters as weapons to protect themselves.

　Does this sound familiar? This incident has also been documented on Earth; it's a common tactic used by America.

　Volcano Bird Barton is the monster sent to Earth by that group of monster merchants. Moreover, this group of aliens knew that Ultraman was on Earth, so they specially selected Volcano Bird Barton, the "Ultra Killer" monster.

　For the Ultramen, the volcano bird Batton is quite troublesome. Killing it with ray skills will cause the toxin to spread and kill countless humans.

　By then, humans will definitely shift the blame to Ultraman, and Ultraman will lose the hearts of the people on Earth, and the monster merchants' goal will be achieved.

　If Ultraman is unable to deal with the Volcano Bird Batton, he may even be killed by this monster.

　Monster merchants can also take this opportunity to sell their monsters as weapons of war and play with the people of Earth at their will.

　After hearing what Mephilas explained, Chihaya Aine felt a surge of fear. Fortunately, Mephilas helped her, otherwise she would not know how she died. The other aliens were really too bad.

　Such a dangerous group of monster merchants have set their sights on the Earth. Chihaya Aine can only put the matter of Metis aside and deal with the monster merchants first.

　After all, Aine had suffered a lot at the hands of the volcanic bird Barton, and Barton had killed many people. Aine had to settle accounts with these monster merchants.

　Currently, the Zarab alien in the group of monster merchants has been eliminated by Aine, and the remaining members of the monster merchants have not yet appeared.

　Let's wait for now. Mefilas is investigating the lair of this group of monster merchants. We will wipe them out in one fell swoop when the time comes.

　.....

　"That idiot Zarab acted on his own and was killed by Ultraman. Not only did he mess up the deal we had worked so hard to reach."

　The Gaci people were so angry. Did they know how much effort and sweet talk they had put in to reach a cooperation with the largest consortium on Earth, and now it was all in vain?

　"Don't mention that dead idiot Zarab anymore, Pete! Have you found the missing monster?"

　"not yet..."

　The aliens have heads like flies, and Pitt is a little afraid to look directly at their heads. The mistakes she made are hard to talk about.

　"So, why did you lose King Ailei?"

　The people of Gaci couldn't help it. It was okay for Earthlings to make stupid mistakes, but why would even a member of their Monster Merchants make such a low-level mistake?

　"I don't know either. It seems that King Ailei was attracted by something on Earth. I don't know when he ran out of the monster capsule."

　The Pitt alien has an innocent expression. Although her fly-like head can't show any expression, who knows why King Ailei ran away? None of his family members understand.

　"Idiot! Hurry and find King Ailei. If he is discovered by the Earthlings, it will be difficult to recover him."

　The humans on this Earth cannot be underestimated. They already have the scientific and technological capabilities to create creatures that rival the monsters. Even monster merchants dare not act rashly, as no one wants to become the next Zarab.

　At the same time, in the astronomy club activity room of Haneda Academy, the traffic light trio placed a cute doll-like creature in front of Deng.

　"Lamp! Please, can you keep it in the Astronomy Department?"

　"Eh?!"

　Gao Songdeng was surprised and astonished. She had never seen such a creature before. It looked a bit like a doll, but it seemed to be alive.

　“This is what we picked up on the road

　It must be a monster!"

　"But we can't take it home to raise it. It's too conspicuous in other places in the school. Only the astronomy department activity room is not visited."

　"So! Light, please!"

　"Ok, no problem!"

　As soon as she heard the monster's name, Deng immediately agreed. She had always been looking forward to having close contact with the monster.

　"By the way! Don't tell Aine-chan yet, we still have a surprise for her."

　“Can’t you tell Aine? Okay…”

　Deng nodded and agreed to the three people's request. After all, they were the ones who picked up the monster, so he would take care of it for the time being.

　What a cute little thing! We need to give it a name.

　Volume 1: 125. Chuhua Crawling jpg

　After the Sky Stage Live, the popularity of the M78 band was as expected, and it was already on the same level as the "Monster Anchor" Miao Mengqin.

　Especially the song "Miracle Reappears", the accompaniment BGM when the giant Michel beats the Zarab aliens, it makes people very excited.

　Shiina Riki fulfilled her wish, and now she can finally hold her head up in front of her sister.

　That being said, the excessive popularity also brings the troubles of becoming a big star. Now the members of the M78 band can be easily recognized outside, not to mention at school. They have become a complete hot topic.

　"It's so annoying! It's annoying in every sense of the word. I didn't expect being famous would be so troublesome."

　"Lixi, have you become a hot topic in school too?"

　"Isn't that natural? It's fine at school, but when I get home I'm still being questioned."

　Li Xi said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. This time, the guest finally took the initiative.

　"By the way, where's the light? Why are you the only one here lately?"

　Even though she became famous, her nature as a light guard would not change. Two days after the Sky Live, Aine was alone every time she went to the RING store.

　Not to mention Toyokawa Shoko, she has now become the new head of the Toyokawa family. She has a lot of problems to deal with and must be overwhelmed every day.

　But it was obvious that Chihaya Aine had nothing to do. She came to the RING store without even calling Deng to come with her. Li Xi felt a little resentful.

　"I did invite Deng, but I don't know what Deng is busy with lately. She stays in the astronomy club activity room all day. She won't come to RING with me."

　"Huh? How could that be?!"

　Riki was surprised. Generally speaking, Deng would not refuse Chihaya Aine's request.

　"Is there a conflict between you and Deng?"

　"How is that possible? Deng and I have always had a good relationship, but Deng has been busy with something mysterious lately. When I asked her, she just hemmed and hawed and wouldn't tell me."

　"Is that so... Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

　Li Xi didn't dwell on it, because no one really knew what Deng was thinking sometimes. He could only wait until Deng came to RING and then ask her.

　"Also, I'll be a bit slow these days, so please tell Hailing, Lixi, that the M78 band has stopped practicing for the next few days and won't be having any activities."

　"I see. Even if you want to practice, I guess Toyokawa Shoko won't be available."

　At least this time the old story of CRYCHIC is not repeated. Li Xi is still very confident in Chihaya Aine. She will not suddenly quit the band like Toyokawa Shoko did.

　After the leave application process for the M78 band was completed, it was time for Aine to take action and do her job as an Ultraman.

　.....
