Kevin and the others wanted to run, but there was no escape.

Would the God of Elation let them run? Of course not!

"If you don't agree, Aha will just blow this place up," Aha threatened sinisterly. He was very experienced in blowing things up.

Right, Aki?

"...Can the me outside take my place?" the Realm Kevin asked, selling out his real body without a moment's hesitation. They looked the same, anyway.

"My main body should be around too," Su added with the same idea. Better my friend dies than me. It's all up to you now.

Kalpas's and Kosma's faces were about to turn green. Kalpas wore a mask, so you couldn't see his expression. Kevin and Su still had their real bodies, but their own main bodies had died back in the Previous Era. How could a real man wear a dress?!

"Griseo, I have another goodie for you."

Giving them some time to prepare, Aha then took out several manga volumes titled: The New Transfer Student is Dangerous.

"Oh! This is the work of Teacher Painter," Kenji said in surprise. "Haha, you're pretty capable."

Painter?

The blue ahoge on Griseo's head stood on end. Why did that author's name sound so familiar? Her face turned red as a beet.

Could it be...

"Everyone... don't look!"

"Let me see... uh, this art style... is this little Griseo's?" Aponia said, flipping through the manga. She was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

[I will protect the princess's smile.]

[Woman, I have tolerated you for too long.]

[I will defend our promise with my life, until...]

[Don't move... just stay by my side tonight.]

If she wasn't mistaken, the characters in this were Kevin and the others. The plot was simply incomprehensible. It was unbelievably cringe.

Who on earth taught Griseo to draw this kind of manga? Could it be Kosma?

Kosma felt a shiver run down his spine. He looked at Aponia's deep gaze. There was killing intent!

"Griseo, aren't you going to explain yourself?" Aponia asked with a serious expression. It seemed she had not educated Griseo properly. She had been in the deepest part of the realm for so long and had paid too little attention to Griseo over the years.

"That, that..."

"...Susu doesn't know~"

Griseo blinked her eyes, trying to bluff her way through.

"Kosma, please go and bring me all of Griseo's manga from these past years," Aponia said, looking at Kosma with a blank expression. Her intuition told her that the Griseo in the Elysian Realm had definitely drawn this type of manga as well.

"Right away!"

A chance to escape! No cross-dressing! Kosma ran as fast as he could. Sorry, Griseo!

It's over! Griseo's heart was filled with despair. Although she hadn't drawn the exact manga Aha had brought out, she had drawn similar ones.

And so, Griseo could only glare fiercely (and adorably) at Aha. This is all your fault!

Did Aha feel guilty? The answer: of course not.

My, my ♪

The Realm Elysia, on the other hand, was reading the manga with great interest. She hadn't realized Griseo's work was so interesting. If she had known, she would have gone to Griseo's place to read manga when she was bored.

[Galactic Baseballer]: Foster Father, are you sure that Luocha is an acquaintance of Uncle Yang's?

Stelle looked at Welt, who seemed like a completely different person, and her mouth twitched. Is this right?

[Galactic Baseballer]: Uncle Yang is muttering: "Power, belonging, ideals..."

Good heavens, is Welt turning into a motivational speaker?

[Star Forger]: Has Welt seen that cross-dressing picture yet?

[Galactic Baseballer]: He's seen it, but he denies it. He said he would absolutely never do something like that, especially with that bastard.

It was like looking at his father's killer.

[Star Forger]: Tell him the person in the photo is also named 'Welt', and the photo was obtained by Aha himself.

[Galactic Baseballer]: I'll pass. I feel like Uncle Yang is very dangerous right now. I don't want to die.

Hoshi did not want to experience the feeling of being torn apart by gravity. The current Welt was pacing in his room, seemingly wanting to leave, but also not wanting to leave them alone. A person with that face was definitely going to cause trouble. This was Welt's intuition. He didn't judge a book by its cover, but this Luocha's appearance left an even deeper impression on him than Cocolia's. To arrive at the Xianzhou at this time... he must be plotting something. Although he knew Luocha wasn't Otto himself, he had to confirm it in person.

[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: Tiga, Gaia, I have some newly invented gadgets here. Do you want to try them?

Here in the Land of Light, there wasn't much opportunity for testing, and no one was invading at the moment.

[Earth Wrecker]: Let me see! I'm quite curious.

[Crash-Test Pilot]: I'll pass for now. The Space Needle is working great for me.

[Galactic Baseballer]: Hikari, do you have any powerful weapons? I feel like the Astral Express's armaments are a bit lacking.

[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: Weapons? What kind are you looking for?

Based on Stelle's request, Hikari could whip something up. Conventional weapons were of little use to an Ultraman; their beam abilities were already very strong.

[Galactic Baseballer]: Do you have any planet-destroying weapons?

If the Astral Express had a weapon like that, the next time they ran into trouble, they could just blow something up.

[Star Forger]: Hoshi, are you trying to turn the Astral Express into some kind of evil organization?

You'd be better off having Hikari build you an indestructible ramming horn for the Express.

[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: We Ultramen do not casually destroy planets. I cannot make that kind of weapon for you.

How could the Land of Light have such a dangerous weapon? Everyone knows that we Ultramen are the most peace-loving race in the entire universe.

Monsters: Yes, yes, yes!

Super Beasts: Yes, yes, yes!

"Here's the MANTIS surgery plan you wanted."

Mobius gave Kenji a USB drive. She knew in her heart that this was for the living Elysia. For them, this kind of thing was useless, but for the Fire Moths of Elysia's time, it could save them a lot of time.

"Elysia, if you want to defeat the Honkai, then get rid of those insects," Mobius said flatly. Those pieces of trash who did nothing but occupy their positions... if it weren't for them, even if the Previous Era had lost, the fight wouldn't have been so exhausting.

"Next time I go to Elysia's place, if she can't bring herself to do it, I'll do it myself," Kenji answered for Elysia. There was no need to trouble Elysia with something like killing. Killing those filthy insects would only dirty her hands. They had enjoyed their positions for long enough; it was time for them to drop some gold coins. When you're short on research funds, trying to raid some homes might just yield a bountiful harvest.

"...Tell that other Mobius for me... to protect Klein (the Comprehender)."

Mobius hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.

What a stubborn snake. Kenji and Elysia looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Mobius's face darkened, and she left directly. Elysia, I really do hate you the most.
