Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

"Have you ever felt that monsters have appeared too frequently recently?"

“It’s a bit much.”

The member of the Chinese branch of the Earth Defense Force stroked his stubbled chin and said.

"Three monsters have appeared this week. Fortunately, none of them appeared in the city, but this kind of monster doesn't allow us to rest at all."

"It's true that something is wrong, but that's not what we should be thinking about."

However, his teammates seemed to be losing interest, so the man patted him on the shoulder.

"It may not matter to us now, but it will be different in the future. Ultra Beasts are either roaming around Japan or around the world all day long. I haven't heard of any other kill records except Ace. If you can kill a Ultra Beast, you can also get a small flower tattoo on your butt. Isn't that great?"

The man's meaning of the small flower tattoo on his butt is to have something tattooed on the fighter plane, which is the combat proof of shooting down an enemy plane. But in fact, no pilot has ever been heard of to have achieved such an honor as killing a super beast, and his companions were speechless.

"How can it be possible to kill the super beast? It's just a full-level demon king piled up at the entrance of the novice village due to a bug. You can only defeat it with the cheat code!"

"Goldfinger pointing at Ace?"

"It refers to all super-scientific things." The companion said unhappily, "Now it's Ace, before it was Seven, and before that it was Ultraman... Anything is possible, because the gold finger is something unreasonable."

"There are so many unreasonable things."

"Kai, don't keep talking just because I can keep up with your imagination. I've been busy with tasks all day long lately. I'm really overwhelmed."

Yang Kai smiled shyly and flicked his compatriot's arm with his fingers, very hard.

"You fucking..."

The companion came to his senses and used both hands to frantically snap Yang Kai's arm, but Yang Kai endured the pain and acted calm, as if nothing had happened. He was hit at least six times by his companion. This kind of finger snapping was really painful if you used force.

"What is this mission?"

He said it nonchalantly, and his companion put his hand down. Knowing that he was trying to change the subject, he still responded unhappily.

"Ocean detection, how about that? It's an easy operation to win big prizes, right?"

Winning the grand prize means that a monster will appear. Yang Kai nodded slightly. The depths of the ocean are indeed a place that humans have not fully explored. It is not surprising at all if such a place is inhabited by monsters that can withstand terrifying pressure.

What's more, the abnormality of this mission lies in the abnormal activities of marine life. However, in fact, some out-of-cycle marine activities in deeper places are normal. Due to various marine geological changes, some special situations sometimes occur in the deep sea. These abnormal activities are within an acceptable range.

But the problem this time was that the deep-sea fish began to move upwards, a large-scale, almost risk-averse movement that was completely contrary to their living habits and made observers suspicious.

Monsters have indeed appeared too frequently recently, and each one of them is irritable, active, and ferocious.

Those underground came out from underground, those hiding in the mountains came out from the mountains, and those staying in the ocean headed towards the beach.

"...It's like he's afraid of something."

"What did you say?""

Yang Kai glanced at him and raised his voice;

"I said the monster seemed to be afraid of something, just like an animal before a fire, trying to escape from the forest! But because this forest is too big and the fire is everywhere, the fear turned into an aimless escape!"

"......Even if that's the case, what good will it do them to destroy the Earth?" As expected of someone who said he could keep up with Yang Kai's imagination, he frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense at all, does it? It doesn't matter if I'm good or not, but it matters if I'm not there for you?"

Monsters are afraid because there is danger, but if even monsters from all over the world feel dangerous, this can only happen if there is a disaster affecting the entire world. But in that case, wouldn’t it be the end of the world?

"Who knows."

The conversation between the two of them was at a normal pace. Although he thought he had a horrific fantasy, he couldn't confirm that it was the reality that would follow. Yang Kai even stretched out his hand and pretended to shake his arm.

“Even the atmosphere around me feels wrong.”

......

[Are you unhappy? Yes, you seem to like children very much. Do you feel uncomfortable when so many children are missing? It's really an overflow of sympathy. There are only a few thousand children, but there are nearly 10 billion people on the earth. If you worry every time you encounter such a situation, it would be a fantasy to become the protector of civilization.]

Xia Long, who was flying a fighter jet, knew that he had no way to hide his emotions on such matters. Radsuju would definitely be able to see it, and since he knew that the other party would be able to see it, there was no point in hiding it.

[I am indeed unhappy, but why are you talking to me? ]

Xia Long readily admitted it, and then said, "He no longer used to give Radsuju a warning mental whip like before, in order to distance him from himself."

Language has its limits. If I were so fragile that I could be seduced and possessed by the Yabo people over just a few words, then I would be a real joke.

Even though the life I have lived so far cannot compare to the accumulation of time and long-lasting pain of the Yabo people, are those things I have tasted just nitrogen, just useless bubbles?

[Do you miss home? You are Chinese, right? Although we are of the same race and have similar culture, you always stay in Japan. Don’t you feel lonely? You have the opportunity to go back, but you never go back? ]

[…Rather than accepting it, it actually gives me goosebumps.]

Xia Long did not speak in response to the words, but rather to the person who spoke them, speaking thoughtfully.

As the Chinese saying goes, "A weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken with no good intentions." This is how Xia Long feels now.

Xia Long wanted to find some topic to hurt Radsuju, but he couldn't find one for a long time. He felt that his usually flexible brain seemed to be empty all of a sudden, and even his flying of the fighter jet was relying on muscle memory.

He thought about it in vain, mainly because he really couldn't think of anything that could hurt Radsuju. Radsuju's million years of experience was still impressive in his mind.

Companions, hometown? It's not impossible, but he thought that this topic might not irritate Radsuju at the moment, and making fun of his hometown was a bit malicious. If that's the case, it's better to talk about Ace.

[Beidou has been doing very well recently, and has become more and more skilled in dealing with super beasts. He has already qualified as a warrior. Although he may not be able to adapt to the duties of a warrior of light, his ability is already very good.] Xia Long said nonchalantly.

[He is an orphan, right? He has no home like you? ]

Radsuju spoke calmly.

......What on earth does he want to do?

Xia Long admitted that he felt uncomfortable with Radsuju's seemingly relieved and simple words and indifferent look.

The Yawa people are full of resentment, but they hate Beidou and Ace to the point of hating every factor in the depths of their souls.

[Don't you want to go home and take a look? No, maybe you can't go back, so you were so sad when you were on Planet Ian. Which is farther, the place you have been to or the place you have not been to...]

【What's wrong? Why are you so gentle? 】

Xia Long couldn't help but speak in a sarcastic tone in his heart to Radsuju, who had always been gentle and friendly.

[Gentle? Gentle, maybe.]

Radsuju's tone became softer, yet with a hint of confusion.

【What's wrong with being gentle to a dying person? 】
