Ultraman: Old Tom was actually a tsundere

Chapter 103 Naomi: Am I an ATM?

【You're not going to say it's another pairing of Megumi and Fujimiya, are you?】

Torregia has come back to life.

Xia Yu was used to it.

"Do you know Kai and Jugglus Juggler?"

【No.】

"Oh. They're quite different from my dream and Fujimiya," Xia Yu explained. "Their entanglements and feuds have lasted for a thousand years, making their relationship far more complicated than that of my dream and Fujimiya."

[Oh?] Torregia seemed intrigued.

You're not going to tell me they actually have a bond of friendship between them, are you?

"Old Torregia, you know a lot." Xia Yu's words surprised Torregia.

[One of the Ultra Warriors of Light, the other seems to possess the power of darkness.]

Could they have a deep friendship?

Torregia became interested.

He automatically put himself and Taro into the picture.

The end of light and the end of darkness are connected.

He wanted to take another path, to finally reunite with that figure.

It seems there's hope?

No, the murderous aura between their brows couldn't be faked.

[Especially that demon, his desire to kill Kai is extremely strong.]

I can't be wrong.

"This is a very long story."

Tell me about it.

Xia Yu felt that Old Tuo seemed gentler after his recovery, but he didn't know if it was a pretense or just his imagination.

However, he was also seriously injured in that super self-destruction, so Xia Yu didn't take him seriously for the time being.

If this escalates, do you believe the debt king will call in reinforcements?

"In the beginning, Gai and Jugglus were both mentor and friend. Together they worked hard to reach the pinnacle of warriors on planet 0-50 and encountered the Ring of Light."

"Jugglus believes he is stronger and better than Gai, and therefore will be recognized by the Halo."

"He was the first to reach the pinnacle of warriors and touch the halo of light."

To his complete surprise, the Halo of Light rejected him.

Xia Yu looked up at the sky, seemingly able to understand how Jugglus Juggler felt back then.

When dreams become reality, it must be the most glorious moment in life.

But the door to his dreams was closed, and his heart must have been colder than the Serpent Heart Sword.

"What I didn't expect was that the Ring of Light actually chose Red Kai."

"This dealt a second blow to the arrogant Jugglus Juggler, who didn't understand why."

"Old Tom, what would you do if you were in his shoes?"

After a long while, there was no reply.

Xia Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead. This guy seemed to be exceptionally weak; he didn't even have the strength to say a few words.

I'll dismantle the halo of light and then ask it if it understands what pain is.

Torregia's voice drifted over, making Xia Yu smile involuntarily.

Why do you think the same way I do?

"The way to accelerate Old Tor's recovery should be to absorb a large amount of energy, just like the Root Destroyer did."

"I also want to ask him if he knows why I've become like this."

Facing the setting sun, Xia Yu walked happily toward the SSP's encampment.

"However, I seem to have forgotten something very important."

"Forget it, if I can't remember, I won't think about it anymore. Things will work themselves out."

"Ah!!! How did I end up in the cardboard box?!"

A group of staff members were shocked and embarrassed to find a beautiful girl emerging from the package.

Has the legendary Pandora's Box been opened?

Back at the SSP base, Naomi greeted Kai and Jugglus with warm greetings, while Xia Yu, listening nearby, kept wiping away sweat.

"Is it possible that Kay actually saved you?"

"Just because you saved me doesn't mean you can just stuff me into a cardboard box! What kind of rescue is this?!" Naomi was furious.

The experience was terrible.

That pose was like... and the strange looks from those staff members.

Enraged, Naomi gulped down the entire bowl of fried rice in front of her before calming down considerably.

"Captain!" Asen screamed, and Zenta looked utterly desperate.

It was definitely intentional.

Today, Xia Yusang cooked classic Chinese home-style dishes.

Tomato and egg soup, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables and tofu strips, and egg fried rice to go.

The main problem was the severe shortage of SSP funding, so Xia Yu had to put some thought into it.

Even so, these three simple home-style dishes were an eye-opener for the three SSP members.

The small amount Xia Yu burned was far from enough.

If Naomi hadn't said she wanted to comfort his wounded heart, Asen and Zenta would have swallowed it all by themselves.

"Phew, this is so delicious."

Zenta patted his belly, still savoring the meal, and continued to carefully examine the plate.

After confirming that not a single drop of oil was left, I was filled with regret.

"Hey team leader, you need to work harder at your part-time job. If your allowance wasn't too low, we wouldn't be starving today."

Asen burped, then felt a murderous gaze and quickly shut his mouth.

Naomi said to Xia Yu shyly, "I'm so sorry, I'll definitely pay you when I have the money."

"Xia Yu, I didn't expect you to cook so well."

"Oh, it's alright," Xia Yu said while washing the dishes. "Don't be so formal with money. Just make yourselves at home."

"Besides, it can also be considered as making up for my mistake."

The last sentence was spoken so softly that Naomi pressed for an answer, "Huh? What did you say?"

"Cough cough."

"By the way, what happened to my suggestion?"

Asen stood up confidently and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, the technical difficulties have been completely overcome. Now all we need is financial support and to start cooperating with network operators."

"The more money you pay, the more stable the partnership will be, and the better the live stream will be."

Zenta chimed in, "I've also updated the website, dividing it into Orb Column, Forum Discussion, and GG Discussion."

The points redemption system has four parts.

"We haven't thought of any prizes for redeeming points yet, since that requires financial support."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted towards Naomi.

Why are you all staring at me?!

"I have no money!"

Ah Sen and Shan Tai said weakly, "Captain, we're all here, you should at least show some support."

"I saw your hidden stash of money last time."

"When?!" Naomi's face changed instantly. "How dare you peep into my bedroom?!"

"A bunch of perverts!"

"No, Captain, you were driving it yourself..."

"

"Ah, help!"

Watching the three rascals start their chaotic battle and, incidentally, transform the tidy room into a Peppa Pig-themed house, Xia Yu was both amused and exasperated.

Putting aside the facts, these three things are top-notch at creating a lively atmosphere.

Putting money aside, living with them seems quite enjoyable.

In the end, Naomi took out some of her private savings—or rather, according to her, her dowry—as start-up capital for SSP's transformation.

Asen and Zenta cheered, vowing to fight to the death for the captain's dowry.

With funding, they began testing the live stream, tinkering with it until late at night.

Ah Sen and Shan Tai were so excited that they didn't fall asleep until morning.

They were awakened by the aroma of dinner.

It has to be Xia Yu.

Ah Sen and Shan Tai opened their eyes instantly, beaming with joy.

The way people addressed Xia Yu had long since changed from "crazy guy" to "Brother Yu".

There's no way around it; the food in that big country next door is just too abundant and too delicious.

The little Japanese eat the same few dishes every day, and they're really tired of them.

According to them, they only realized they were truly alive after they met Brother Yu.

Previously it was called "lingering on in a state of desperation".

While eating, I suddenly realized that the taste wasn't quite right.

A unique stench, like a rag left to ferment in a trash can for a hundred days, tried to pierce their noses and shatter their hopes for a good meal.

"Why does it smell so bad?"

"The smell seems to be coming from there."

They looked towards the bathroom and then witnessed the spectacular sight of a stinky man emerging from the shower.

She's clearly a beautiful woman, but in their eyes, the brightness and contrast are automatically adjusted, and a dark, dirty, muddy filter is added.

"Ugh, Captain, how can you smell so bad? Is your shower gel expired too long ago? I remember it still has half a month before it expires for a year." Ah Sen rolled his eyes and quickly backed away.

If we don't run now, the food we just ate will escape; that absolutely cannot happen.

Zenta also hurried along, only to find that the room was not very spacious.

The stench is really strong.

Well, he pulled out a gas mask, which made him feel a bit better.

"Ugh, it really stinks."

Naomi took a closer sniff, and even she started to dislike herself.

"I'll go wash up again."

Xia Yu frowned and stopped him, saying, "It's not your problem, the water in the kitchen is smelly too."

"The water must be contaminated."

Seeing the frightened looks on Ah Sen and Shan Tai's faces, Xia Yu said calmly, "Don't worry, I only use purified water for cooking."

"Oh, Naomi paid for it."

"The captain is so righteous!" Asen was moved to tears.

"No wonder the water's been going down so fast these past few days." Naomi opened her mouth, but couldn't explain why.

My best friend seems to have found a great boyfriend. How did I end up becoming an ATM for the three of you guys?

Overwhelmed with sorrow.

"A chance to make money has arrived."

Fortunately, Xia Yu broke through her sadness in time.

"After confirming that the live stream was working properly, we went to investigate the cause of the water pollution."

"My intuition tells me it's related to monsters."

"Alright!" Naomi slapped her thigh hard, pointed boldly forward with her right hand, and shouted, "SSP, deploy!"

"Great!" Asen and Zenta were very excited.

Xia Yu was slightly embarrassed and pointed at Naomi.

You came out wearing only a bathrobe, and you were moving a bit too much just now.

"ah!!!"
