Anime: Desolate Darkness

Seeing that Nanamiya Chione had nothing to say, Hongo Kishima began to ask questions, "I want to know about the name of your race."

Nanamiya Chione was stunned and answered stupidly, "Humans."

Hongo Kishima, "..."

"I mean the race name of the giants. Nexus is your name, right? It doesn't sound like a race name."

"Oh~~" Nanamiya Chione nodded in sudden realization.

Seeing this, Hongo Kishima asked, "Then can you tell me?"

"Of course you can, but why should I tell you?"

Seeing the innocent expression on Nanamiya Chione's face, Hongo Kishima's mouth twitched, not knowing whether the other party did it on purpose or by accident.

It said stubbornly, "Does this require any reason? Didn't I tell you the name of my race at the beginning?"

"Just think of it as a courtesy. Can you tell me it's normal?"

Nanamiya Chiyin thought what he said made sense, and the other party had helped her before, so there was nothing wrong in talking about it.

“Ultraman.”

"Ultraman?" Hongo Kishima murmured the name softly, as if he was savoring the deep meaning contained in it.

His eyes were a little confused, but more of puzzlement.

However, before he had time to think it over, Nanamiya Chione couldn't wait to give an explanation: "That's right! Ultraman! It symbolizes light!"

Her tone was full of pride.

Light?

After hearing this, Hongo Kishima fell into deep thought.

As for Nexus, perhaps he could barely accept such a statement, but what about the other two giants?

In any case, it is really difficult to associate them with "light".

Seeing Hongo Kishima's frown, Nanamiya Chione couldn't help but feel curious: "What are you thinking about?"

Hongo Kishima quickly shook his hand to indicate that it was nothing serious. Then he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, I just find it a little hard to imagine putting the other two giants together with the 'light' you mentioned."

Then, he paused for a moment and continued to ask: "Or, the 'light' you mentioned is not simply explained from the energy level, but has other meanings?"

Nanamiya Chione rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "Actually, I don't really understand it either. Many things were told to me by my seniors."

"Of course, it's normal that you can't compare the other two giants with Nexus, because we just look alike, they are not actually Ultraman."

According to the seniors, the two of them are dark demons, Nanamiya Chione thought.

After listening to what Nanamiya Chione said, Hongo Kishima felt a little overwhelmed.

They look alike, but they are not of the same race, which is understandable because objectively speaking the differences in the energies in their bodies are completely opposite.

But if that's the case, why do you call the other black giant "senior"?

Moreover, why do we need to be informed by other races about the affairs of our own race?

Wait, did I understand it wrong from the beginning?

"Just to confirm, who is the senior you mentioned?" it asked righteously.

"There are three giants. Including me, you have met two today. The senior I am talking about is the giant you have never seen."

"..."

After getting this answer, it was not clear that the three were actually human beings at the beginning. Hongo Kishima was speechless by the unclear relationship between these three.

Next, the two of them communicated a lot, but their channels did not seem to be unified, resulting in the fact that the only valid information that Mefilas obtained from beginning to end was the name "Ultraman", which means "light".

Knowing that it would waste time if it continued like this and that its presence might be noticed by other bad guys, it decided to retreat temporarily.

"Let's stop here for today. I need to go back and sort out my thoughts." After saying that, Hongo Kishima shouted towards the counter, "Boss! Check out."

Nanamiya Chione did not refuse. She wanted to go back quickly to tell Kimura Takumi about her encounter with the Mefilas alien.

After a while, a waiter came to the table with a bill.

She bowed gracefully, then said, "Hello, this time the total amount is 2200 yen, would you like to pay by card or cash?"

"Cash, please." Hongo Kishima answered slowly.

Then he raised his right hand and reached into the pocket of his expensive suit jacket, and took out exactly one thousand yen bill and one hundred yen coin, and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter took the money and nodded, then turned his gaze to Nanamiya Chione who was sitting next to him.

Nanamiya Chione showed a puzzled look on her face at this time, as if she wanted to ask Hongo Kishima: "Didn't we agree that you would pay the bill?"

Facing Nanamiya Chione's confusion, Hongo Kishima just raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and then explained softly: "Like I mentioned at the beginning, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do' is my favorite language."

"Isn't it popular to go Dutch here?"

Although she thought something was wrong, Nanamiya Chione couldn't find any reason to refute it. She had no choice but to pay the bill.

After the waiter collected the money and left, Hongo Kishima was the first to stand up and leave.

Walking up to Nanamiya Chione, it reminded her, "It won't be long before I come to see you again. But don't worry, next time I won't be as rude as I was today and disturb you from doing your own thing."

In response to Hongo Kishima's words, Nanamiya Tomoon did not make any response.

She just sat there silently, looking at the man in front of her with complicated eyes, watching him walk out of the store step by step.

Only after she could no longer see the other person did she frown slightly and mutter in a low voice: "What a strange guy..."

It has to be said that no matter from the way the Mephilas people speak, their personality traits or their behavior, they are all so different and difficult to understand in the eyes of Nanamiya Chione.

After drinking the remaining water in the teacup in one breath, Nanamiya Chione also stood up and left.

When she walked out of the store, she passed by a young man who was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black leather jacket, black jeans, with slightly long black hair and a determined look.

As soon as he walked in, he had a conversation with the store owner.

"Glacier, are you here so soon today?"

"I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd have a bowl of noodles before continuing my patrol. There was a big problem today and I'm going to have to work overtime until very late."

"I see. I thought you were off work."
