People in Ultraman: Beginning Plunder and Fusion

Chapter 78 Bruton 1

After King Joe and Ultraman Tiga defeated Gorgione, King Joe became the main force of the Armory. Sevenger, who had always fought alongside the Armory, was now broken and devastated. After passing the baton to King Joe, he finally retired.

It is expected that next month, Sevenger will hand over the task of promoting the special aircraft to the museum exhibition. Some things are gradually changing, after all, new things will inevitably replace old things.

The armory was holding a victory celebration, and three huge paper celebratory banners were posted next to King Joe Bridge.

The audience stood neatly at attention, while on stage, Yuka was happily giving a speech into the microphone.

"Defense forces from all over the world are flocking here, all wanting to consult our robot technology. My ingenuity and everyone's hard work have finally been recognized by everyone. Let's all raise our fists in celebration!"

After hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy. They responded to Jiehua's call and raised their fists high and waved them.

In an instant, cheers and shouts of approval resounded throughout the space, as if they were about to burst through the roof.

Then, everyone spontaneously burst into applause, the enthusiastic and sustained applause as powerful as thunder, marking a perfect end to this successful event.

Once everything had settled down, everyone returned to their seats, satisfied.

They chatted easily and happily while enjoying the sumptuous feast before them. Duo Lue sat leisurely in his chair, savoring the various delicacies with gusto.

At this moment, an interesting scene unfolded—Yoko and Yuka stood right next to him on his left and right sides, respectively.

The two beautiful and charming women seemed to have planned it beforehand, and began to "serve" Duolue with perfect understanding.

They not only took the initiative to pick up the beverage bottles and carefully filled the cups for Duolue, but also occasionally brought the drinks to his lips and gently fed him to drink.

Faced with such thoughtful and attentive service, Duolue naturally refused without hesitation; he didn't need beautiful women to serve him.

The crew members, seeing from afar that Duolue was favored by two goddesses at the same time, couldn't help but feel a strong sense of envy.

You know, Yoko and Yuka are both exceptionally beautiful women!

Yoko's fondness for Duolue stemmed entirely from her fascination with his immense power; while Yuka was drawn to Duolue's kind and compassionate heart.

Faced with offers from two such outstanding beauties, anyone else would probably be overjoyed.

Surprisingly, however, he remained as still as a meditating monk, sitting there quietly contemplating his own affairs, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

Judging from his unmoved appearance, it was as if he had absolutely no interest in women.

At this moment, Hebikura and Haruki were sitting side by side, quietly eating their food.

Suddenly, as if realizing something important, Hebikura slapped his thigh and shouted, "Hey! Gentlemen, we've made such a mess of this armory, do you really think this is a high school campus for the Koshien tournament?"

The moment those words were spoken, the previously noisy scene fell silent. Then, one of the maintenance crew members spoke up with a grin, "Hey, you guys don't know, our squad leader is on paid leave today! So, let's have a good time and relax!"

Without warning, Ye Hu appeared before everyone like a ghost. He was dressed in rags and looked haggard. His appearance made it clear that he had just gone through a thrilling battle.

Ye Hu looked around at the bustling scene and couldn't help but say, "Why is it so noisy here? But since we've already started something, we can't give up halfway!"

After saying that, he held up the 1.6-meter-long tuna in his hand and showed it to everyone present.

Not long after, an enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen; it turned out that Ye Hu's freshly stir-fried tuna was ready!

At this moment, everyone in the armory gathered around, eagerly picking up their chopsticks to enjoy a hearty meal.

With smiles on their faces, everyone said in unison, "Then we won't stand on ceremony!"

After getting their food, some of them took their bowls and went to the side to eat with relish, while others stood there and wolfed down their food.

Duo Lue hurriedly finished getting his food, turned around and looked at Ye Hu with admiration on his face. He couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Ye Hu, your cooking skills are absolutely amazing! It's so delicious! Could you teach me a thing or two sometime in the future? When I finally leave the armory and say goodbye to everyone, I really want to try being an ordinary chef."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hu readily nodded and replied, "Of course, no problem! I greatly admire you and will definitely teach you everything I know in the future."

Perhaps one day in the future, when Duolue travels to the world of Geed, he will begin a completely new life journey as an ordinary chef...

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Hu.

As she ate, Jiehua smiled and asked, "Mr. Ye Hu, how did you catch this fish?"

Ye Hu wiped the knife with a rag, speaking mysteriously and discreetly, "I learned a little bit before."

Here, perhaps only Duolue knows Ye Hu's deeply hidden true identity—Astra! You must know, this is a huge secret!

Even before he had transmigrated, he had carefully observed Ye Hu's various behaviors in the original story. Combined with the detailed analysis of the explanatory videos, all the clues intertwined, ultimately leading him to uncover this astonishing truth.

At that moment, Duolue and Yaohui, as if by telepathy, walked together to a chair not far away and quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table. However, what they were thinking at that moment was completely different.

Haruki frowned, pondering the problem of his soft-heartedness when fighting the monster;

As for Duolue, he had no time to consider which Tiga to send into battle. What he was worried about was whether his parents in his original world were anxious and worried because they couldn't find him.

Just then, Yoko and Hebikura noticed the two who seemed dazed, so they quickly went over to them. With friendly smiles, they gently patted Doroki and Haruki on the back and asked them with concern.

Yoko first turned her gaze to Duolue and asked softly, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Is it because you can't get used to eating this sashimi?"

Upon hearing Yoko's question, Duo Lue suddenly snapped out of his daze. He glanced at Yoko in a flustered manner, then quickly replied casually, "Oh, no... no, I can eat all this raw food. Actually, I was just pondering Master Ye Hu's unique method of cooking tuna."

Haruki snapped out of his daze, his gaze slowly shifting to Hebikura. His lips trembled slightly, but he finally mustered the courage to confess, "Captain, to be honest, I feel like a complete failure. Every time I pilot a mecha in battle, I can't last long before being taken down by the enemy. I always feel like I'm the one who charges in at the front and then quickly becomes cannon fodder. Because of this, I'm filled with a deep sense of inferiority, and I don't even dare to hope that Yoko will like me."

Hebikura listened quietly to Haruki's story, a look of understanding and sympathy on her face.

After Haruki finished speaking, he gently patted Haruki's shoulder and earnestly comforted him, "Haruki, you must know that everyone's abilities are limited, and everyone has their own strengths. As long as you have done your best in the battle, that is enough. Don't be too hard on yourself."

After saying this, Hebikura turned and walked towards the others, continuing to enjoy the food with them.

Haruki stood there for a moment, pondering the words Hebikura had just said.

After a moment, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and stepped into the crowd to rejoin the meal.

At that moment, Yoko was sitting quietly in her chair, her body pressed tightly against the edge of the table. Suddenly, she turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Haruki.

With concern, she asked again, "What's wrong? Why do you still look so down? Is something bothering you?"

Upon hearing Yoko's question, Haruki was taken aback at first, then shook his head, but quickly nodded again.

Just then, Yoko turned her head back, lowered her head, and murmured softly, "Actually... I'm like you, I've been thinking about some things lately..."

Having read the original plot, Duo Lue exposed Yoko's lie, saying, "I know, it's just because King Joe is so powerful. You're only worried about whether it's appropriate for humanity to possess such a powerful weapon. Technology is a double-edged sword. As long as humanity uses it reasonably to protect the Earth, it's fine."

After they finished chatting, they continued eating.

In that instant, the Sharp-Horned Alien Snake Warehouse—or rather, perhaps more accurately, the Toilet Alien Snake Warehouse—suddenly sensed a powerful and mysterious energy rapidly approaching.

His keen senses instantly alerted him, and his hands, which had been leisurely enjoying the food, involuntarily stopped moving.

Hei Cang frowned slightly, slowly put down his bowl and chopsticks, his movements light yet hurried, as if he were about to face a major challenge.

He stood up and glanced at everyone in the room, especially noticing the curious look in Jiehua's eyes.

With food still in her mouth, Yuka looked at Hebikura's sudden actions and asked with a puzzled expression, "Captain, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to go out all of a sudden?"

She blinked her big eyes, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from Hebikura.

Hebikura turned his head, a faint smile on his face, but the smile was clearly somewhat perfunctory.

He casually said, "Ah! It's nothing serious, I just need to go to the bathroom. You don't need to worry about me, keep having fun." Before he finished speaking, he turned his head back again and strode confidently toward the door.

Almost at the same moment, a figure staggered and swayed over from a short distance outside the armory.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Kaburagi. He looked extremely unwell, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle or suffered some kind of great shock.

Despite his unsteady gait, the light in his eyes revealed a madness and determination.

When Kaburagi finally reached the gate of the armory, he stopped, steadied himself, looked up at the seemingly impregnable building, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.

Then, he muttered to himself, "Hmph, nothing special, yet they dare to be so smug? How utterly laughable! Now, let's begin implementing the next step of the plan!"

As he spoke, Kaburagi reached into his robes and pulled out two meteorites, one a vibrant red and the other a deep blue.

He gripped the two mysterious stones tightly, feeling the powerful force they contained.

Then, without hesitation, he forcefully squeezed the two meteorites together.

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the point of contact between the two.

Kaburagi seized the opportunity, swung his arm sharply, and hurled the fused meteorite like a cannonball toward the armory gate...

Kaburagi summons the four-dimensional monster Bruton, nicknamed the "Fragile Mage".

On the other side, everyone except Hebikura had finished eating.

At this moment, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere filled the restaurant, and everyone began to find their favorite ways to pass the time.

With a smile on his face, Mr. Ye Hu took out a deck of cards from his pocket, skillfully shuffled and cut the cards, and then expertly demonstrated his amazing magic trick.

The playing cards in his hand seemed to have a life of their own, sometimes disappearing and sometimes reappearing, drawing gasps of amazement from those around him.

Jiehua's eyes widened, and she praised with admiration, "Oh my, I really didn't expect that Mr. Ye Hu would have such amazing magic skills!"

Upon hearing Jiehua's praise, Ye Hu simply smiled and humbly replied, "Hehe, it's just that I learned a little bit before."

However, despite his understated manner of speaking, his performance was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Just then, a gasp rang out from the crowd—"Wow!"

It turned out that Ye Hu had just completed an extremely impressive card-changing move, leaving everyone in awe.

Meanwhile, in a corner not far away, Duolue and Yangzi were chatting happily. They reminisced about the joyful times they had spent together, filled with emotion.

Duolue said with deep feeling, "Every time we enjoy these happy moments to the fullest, I can't help but wish that time could stand still forever. How wonderful it would be if it could always be like this."

Of course, please don't misunderstand, what I'm talking about here is just a longing and yearning for beautiful moments, not the excitement of a romantic getaway for two.

After listening attentively, Yoko nodded very cooperatively, indicating that she was very satisfied with what had just been discussed.

Immediately afterward, the two ended their chat in a pleasant manner and got up to go to where Jiehua and Yehu were, ready to play together.

Just then, Duo Lue, quick-witted and agile, rushed forward and snatched the deck of cards from Ye Hu's hand with lightning speed, just as Ye Hu finished his spectacular magic performance.

A sly smile appeared on his face, eager to show off his talent.

Seeing this, Jiehua's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "Could it be that you, Duolue, also know magic tricks?"

She could hardly believe that this seemingly ordinary person had such a hidden side.

However, at this moment, Duolue seemed confident. He slightly raised his chin and said in a unique tone that was somewhat mysterious and similar to that of Phantom Thief Kid: "Ladies and gentlemen, please look forward to an amazing magic show that is about to begin!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved swiftly. His slender fingers moved lightly across the cards like nimble butterflies, as if gently caressing an incomparably precious and rare work of art.

As his movements changed, each draw and shuffle was like a beautiful, silent dance, dazzling the eye.

Although Duolue wasn't particularly skilled in real magic techniques, it didn't affect his performance at all.

It turns out that he did not rely on traditional methods to create miracles, but rather cleverly used his special ability—the system space.

Through covert manipulation, he easily and quietly mixed his treasured Ultraman cards into the performance, making the whole show full of more unknown surprises and suspense.

After the magic show ended, he took out six cards from the card pile: the Mysterious Four Ultras, Belial, and Ultimate Tiga, and then used them to steal the show.

He then performed a trick, claiming that his Ultraman cards disappeared into thin air. In reality, he reclaimed the cards from the system space and then returned them to Ye Hu.

"Wow! How did you pull off such an amazing stealth maneuver? Could you teach me?"
