Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"The copyright of this song belongs to the agency, so we all have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Before the song is officially released, it cannot be leaked online."

　"Uh...I suddenly feel so professional."

　Li Xi was stunned, but this was understandable. As a professional band, matters like song copyrights did need to be decided clearly in advance.

　"I took a look. The accompaniment for this song isn't complicated, but it mainly relies on the jazz drums and keyboard players. Lixi, you have a heavy task."

　"Forehead..."

　Before she had the chance to put pressure on others, Shiina Ritsuki was put under pressure by her good friend Hachiman Kailing. She suddenly felt like she had made the wrong friends.

　"Don't worry, just practice slowly and you'll be fine. There's no need to rush."

　"Besides, we haven't even found a keyboard player yet, so we won't be able to start activities for a while."

　"That's wrong, Ms. Aine. My favorite saying is, strike while the iron is hot."

　"President?"

　Mephilas appeared out of nowhere, followed by a cute pink girl.

　"This is PAREO from the band RAS. She's just upstairs from our office. I invited her to come over and help out as a backup keyboardist."

　"Then please hurry up and practice well."

　Mefilas said this with a smile, and then he left in a blink of an eye. It seemed that he was very efficient.

　"Hi everyone, I'm PAREO, the keyboardist of the band RAS. My name is Nihara Reiona."

　PAREO introduced himself enthusiastically. Band support was not a big deal. Not to mention the legendary bassist mercenary Yawata Kailing, the guitarist of the RAS band also looked for a support musician, who was none other than PPP's Hanazono Duohui, who almost caused the crisis of PPP's disbandment.

　"Hello! I'm the drummer, Tatsuki Shiina."

　When facing the big boss of a professional band, Li Xi couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure. He felt that one day he would be pressured by others.

　"I'm the bassist, Hachiman Kairin."

　"This is the guitarist, Ryuna, and I'm the vocalist, Chihaya Aine."

　Everyone introduced themselves to each other. Aiyin consciously did not add the words "lead singer and guitarist". She should focus on the lead singer's job first and talk about other things later.

　"Hehe~ Then let's start practicing. LOCK is looking forward to you guys."

　In this way, Chihaya Aine and her friends' temporary band began practicing. They didn't even have a name for the band yet, and they started practicing for their debut work.

　As expected, the worst performer in the band was Shiina Tatsuki. Chihaya Aine was okay because she was the lead singer and had practiced a lot in advance. She was the one who performed the best.

　Now all the pressure fell on Riki. It turned out that it was impossible to start a professional band on her own... Riki Shiina had completely lost confidence and she wanted to quit the band on her own initiative.

　Aiyin saw through Li Xi's insecure thoughts at a glance, and she clapped her hands.

　He gestured for everyone to take a break.

　"Deng, can you go and refuel Riki?"

　"me?"

　"Well, you can only be the lamp."

　"Okay... I understand..."

　Seeing Li Xi's introverted and unconfident look reminded Gao Songdeng of his first time in CRYCHIC. At the beginning, he was also very nervous and couldn't even sing.

　Although I am not much better now, at least I have made some progress, so Li Xi must be fine.

　"Lixi."

　Takamatsu Deng walked to the drum set and came in front of Shiina Riki.

　"Light, what's wrong?"

　"I couldn't even sing well before, and it's still the same now, but I believe as long as I try my best, I will be able to do it."

　"I believe that there will be no problem with you, Lixi, just like you believed in me at the beginning."

　"I..."

　Shiina Riki was at a loss for words. Had she ever believed in Deng? Perhaps she was the only one in the band who had no hope for Deng.

　But Deng did it, singing with all his might on the stage, so dazzling. At that moment, Li Xi was deeply attracted by Deng.

　Now, it was Deng's turn to cheer herself up. She believed she could do it, but was she really okay?

　"No problem! I will do it and will not let you down."

　"Wow~! Just like what Master Chuchu expected from PAREO."

　The girl band member PAREO on the side was already laughing as if she had discovered a like-minded person. Are the relationships among you girl bands so wild?

　"Please do it again. I will practice hard when I get home."

　"no problem!"

　The break is over, let's get back to practicing.

　When everyone went back to their homes in the evening, Aine sent Deng back first. After all, she was the one who brought her here, and she felt embarrassed to let Deng go back alone.

　As for Maomao Runa, she went back with Asahi Rikka from the RAS band, and of course Riki went back with Hachiman Kairin.

　PAREO is the one who is least worried. Although he used to live far away and had to take the subway for 3 hours every day from Chiba to Tokyo's studio, PAREO has now succeeded in pursuing his wife and moved directly into Chuchu's rooftop mansion to start living together.

　Today's activities have come to an end. After sending the lantern home safely, it is time for Chihaya Aine to return home.

　"Ms. Aine, please stay."

　"Mefilas?"

　The elusive Mephilas appeared in front of Aine at some point in time, looking like he had something important to do.

　"Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

　"Of course, it's business."

　Without further ado, Mephilas is a spaceman who places great emphasis on efficiency, although this contradicts his preference for conquering without the use of force.

　"An evil alien is coming to Earth, and he's bringing a ferocious monster with him. You must be prepared to fight."

　"Do we have to fight? Aliens can communicate, right? They don't necessarily have evil intentions."

　Although Chihaya Aine spoke such innocent words, Mephilas was not surprised at all. If she was not innocent and kind, Ultraman would not have chosen her as his human body.

　"If it was an alien coming to Earth with good intentions to communicate, it wouldn't have brought a monster with it."

　"It's like you're carrying a gun to negotiate with someone. What do you think the other person will say?"

　"But maybe he brought the monster with him just to protect his own safety."

　Aiyin still held onto good intentions. She thought that she shouldn't just believe what Mefilas said and should have a good conversation with him.

　“Of course, I have no intention of deceiving you, Miss Aine. If you want to confirm it in person, that’s fine.”

　"Let me tell you the name of that alien. It's called Knuckle Star."

　Volume 1: 15. Knuckle Star

　There are evil aliens coming to invade the earth. When Mephilas told Aine the news, Chihaya Aine immediately had more doubts in her heart.

　"Mefilas, how did you know that?"

　"Of course I have my own intelligence network. Please rest assured that the intelligence sources are very accurate."

　"Why did the Nakels invade Earth?"

　"Why did the European colonists massacre the Native Americans? I believe that the same behavior of Earthlings can answer your question, Miss Aine."

　"The Earth is a beautiful planet, beautiful and rich, but the people living on it are just a group of Earthlings who can't even leave the solar system."

　Chihaya Aine was speechless for a moment, because the first alien she came into contact with was Ultraman, and she really imagined aliens to be too good.

　Yes... Humans who cannot even successfully enter outer space live on a beautiful home planet called Earth. It would be strange if aliens did not have evil thoughts and ideas when they discovered Earth.

　Just like the Native Americans living in the rich American continent, when the European colonists came here, it was a brutal genocide. This was the atrocity committed by human beings driven by interests.

　"Miss Aine, I have no objection to your desire to contact the people of Planet Nakel, but please keep your human form a secret."

　"I must warn you. There was once a Knuckle star who, in order to kill Ultraman, who was protecting the Earth, brutally murdered Ultraman's human form's lover and best friend. All of this was done to hurt Ultraman's human form's heart."

　“Ms. Aine, I don’t think you’d be so foolish as to reveal your human form, would you? Gentlemen like me are rare in the entire universe.”

　"This, this, this..."

　Chihaya Aine was deeply shocked. Could aliens be so cruel? Now that she thought about it, Mefilas was indeed a gentleman, a rather nice person.

　"Then what should I do?"

　"It's simple. There's no need to proactively contact aliens with unknown intentions. If the Nakkers come with malicious intent, they will definitely send monsters to attack human cities."

　"If it were an alien with good intentions, it wouldn't have invaded Earth with force. Anyone who did something like that must be an enemy of humanity."

　"I believe I don't need to explain too much about how to distinguish between enemies and friends, right?"

　"That's right! Mefilas, you really are a good alien."

　After listening to Mefilas' words, Chihaya Aine immediately felt relieved, and all this made Mefilas feel extremely happy.

　That's right—that's it! He made Chihaya Aine gradually obey his orders, and turned Ultraman's human form into a tool without a mind.

　Mephilas is a friend of mankind, everything Mephilas says is right, Mephilas' evil plan~the plan works!

　"I will provide you with information about the Knuckle Star people. Don't lose, Miss Aine."

　"I'll do my best!"

　.....

　Mefilas said that the Nakkers would come to invade the Earth, but it did not appear on Earth for a while, and Chihaya Aine still lived her life as usual.

　In the morning, I go to school in Haneda, and in the afternoon, I go to the agency and practice my debut work with my band members.

　Three days passed like this, and suddenly the monster appeared.

　The monster appeared in Tokyo City without any warning and began to wreak havoc in the city. Human fear and screams were continuous for a while.

　"Chihaya Aine, the monster Black King controlled by Alien Knuckle has appeared. You must transform into Ultraman and defeat it."

　"I understand. I'll be there right away!"

　Mefilas told Chihaya Aine about the situation through telepathy. Aine did not dare to delay even a second. If she was a second late, more people would be hurt. The situation was urgent.

　"Teacher, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet."

　"You go..."

　It was a classic excuse to ask for leave to go to the bathroom. Deng gave Aine a strange look, but didn't think much of it.

　Chihaya Aine ran all the way to the rooftop of the school building, took out the beta magic wand and pointed it at the sky.

　"Transform!"

　After pressing the red transformation button, Ultraman appeared in the sky above Haneda Academy and flashed by. It flew at a speed of Mach 5 towards the Tokyo city where the monster appeared, and it reached its destination in less than ten seconds.

　Looking at the monster Black King wreaking havoc in the city, Chihaya Aine didn't hesitate and without saying a word, she dropped from the air with an Ultra Kick.

　The angle of this Ultra Flying Kick was very tricky. King Black was severely injured and kicked onto the ruined street. There was no one here anymore.

　To protect the city and humanity, Chihaya Aine, as an Earthling, is more aware of this than anyone else.

　"A common tactic of the Nakkers. They use the monsters they control to collect Ultraman's combat data, identifying their weaknesses and formulating battle plans."

　"Chihaya Aine, you must learn to conserve your strength and defeat King Black by showing weakness."

　"I understand. Thank you, Mefilas."

　Mefilas had already informed Chihaya Aine in advance about the various strategic means that the cruel and despicable aliens, the Nakel people, would use.

　Therefore, after transforming into Ultraman, Chihaya Aine wanted to show weakness to the enemy and pretend to be a novice.

　Yes! Despite having gone through a lot of combat training with Mefilas, Chihaya Aine still acted like an Ultra rookie, as if she had just transformed into Ultraman and was fighting for the second time.

　Because there is an eyewitness record of Ultraman's battle, which was the time when Ultraman defeated the space monster Bemula in Tokyo Bay.

　This time, it was also the second time that Chihaya Aine appeared in public after transforming into Ultraman.

　So in the battle, Ultraman and Black King were fighting very hard, until the timing light on Ultraman's chest turned red and began to flash.

　Chihaya Aine realized that she could no longer

　The show goes on, and she prepares to use the Spaciume ray to destroy the monster.
