Ultraman Blaze

It was just another ordinary day. Almost a month had passed since the last appearance of the H Country monster. Due to the absence of the monster's influence, the originally tense atmosphere in the war room had now become a place where they gathered together to chat about trivial matters.

The team members sat in their respective seats in the most comfortable way and talked about what had happened recently.

"Why haven't I seen Chu Yichen recently? Where is he?" Correspondent Catherine Maya asked out of sudden curiosity.

"Huh? Catherine, don't you know?" Tutwala said with some surprise while practicing with dumbbells.

"what--"

Captain Hanyu Xiangyu stood up and explained, "Because the research and development plan of the Type 23 Mecha Beast Asgalon has recently encountered a breakthrough bottleneck, they are in urgent need of highly skilled personnel, so Chu Yichen was temporarily transferred over."

After saying this, Hanyu Xiangyu gritted his teeth and showed a slightly unhappy expression: "Not only did the higher-ups ask for people, but they also forcibly transferred people without my consent. Those military officials are really..."

"So that's how it is." Catherine nodded repeatedly after realizing it belatedly.

"that……"

"…Um…Captain Xiangyu."

At this moment, team member Mitsuba Haruna, who was also a communicator, suddenly called out Hanyu Xiangyu. Her expression was a little conflicted, and she pursed her lips, and it seemed that she had something to say.

Seeing this, Xiangyu quickly restrained his unhappy expression, looked at Sanye Hina seriously, and asked, "What's wrong, Hina?"

"Captain Xiangyu, can I take a leave and go back to Japan?" After hesitating for a long time, Mitsuha Haruna finally spoke up.

After hearing this, Hanyu Xiangyu asked again: "Did something happen at home?"

"Do not."

"I just want to go back and play."

After listening to this, Hanyu Xiangyu nodded and said, "Indeed, our team member Yangcai hasn't arranged a vacation for a long time."

"But...if you leave, Team Member Catherine will be the only one operating those communication devices..."

Before he could finish his words, Catherine's voice interrupted Xiangyu from the side:

"No monsters have appeared recently, so I have no problem managing the communications by myself."

After saying that, Catherine smiled and made an "OK" gesture to Mitsuha Haruna. It seemed that the two of them had discussed this long ago.

Hanyu Xiangyu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then let's give Team Yangcai a few days off."

Mitsuha Haruna was overjoyed and immediately became as happy as a child: "Thank you, Captain."

After saying that, Hina happily skipped out of the operations room, apparently preparing to take today's special plane back to Earth.

For a moment, everyone was overwhelmed by the atmosphere left by Hina, and they all stared at each other and laughed.

The days without monsters were dull and ordinary, but in the eyes of SKaRD, this was all very good news. Including the captain Xiangyu, their tense nerves seemed to have relaxed during this period of time.

……

In the evening, Mitsuha Haruna got off the special plane and stayed in the branch for a night.

The next day, Mitsuba Haruna changed into casual clothes and flew to Japan. After a series of twists and turns, she finally arrived at the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.

As soon as she got off the car, Mitsuha Haruna saw a familiar face standing at the entrance of the aquarium.

"Emi!"

"Hina!"

A young woman with short hair, black clothes and a short skirt ran towards them. This was Emi, a good classmate of Mitsuha Haruna in high school. As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to hug each other.

"Long time no see, Huimei, you have become more beautiful." Mitsuha Haruna said with a smile.

"You too, Hina. You look better than before."

Yang Cai smiled happily: "Really? Thank you."

"By the way, it's been a while since you went to SKaRD. You haven't come to see Xiao Ao for a long time."

Mitsuha Haruna showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I'm so sorry, I'm too busy with work."

"It's okay. After all, your job is to kill monsters and protect humans. Xiao Ao will be very happy when he knows it."

"Yeah." Mitsuha Haruna nodded with a smile.

Emi helped carry the things, then led Haruna to the aquarium, "Come on, you must be hungry after coming all the way here, let's go get something to eat first."

"OK"

……

As a well-known aquarium in Japan, you can not only see various marine creatures, but also eat, drink and have fun in it.

restaurant--

Emi and Haruna were eating delicious food while chatting with each other.

"..."

"By the way, Haruna, you are the best person in our class." Huimei praised, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Haruna.

"Where?"

"Emi, you are also very good. You can become a dedicated trainer in such a large aquarium." Haruna also admired Emi.

"..."

The two chatted a lot during the meal and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

After dinner, Hina followed Emi to a pool in the aquarium. The water was clear and had a faint glow. The ups and downs of the waves inexplicably added a sense of three-dimensionality.

"This is Xiao Ao's pool."

Hina asked curiously, "Is it sea water?"

"Ah."

Huimei nodded and explained, "This is purified seawater." Then, she squatted down and gently patted the water with her hands, calling out, "Xiao Ao, Xiao Ao."

After a few seconds, there was finally a response from the pool. First, a figure swam quickly through the water, and then under the slanting light, as the figure got closer, Hina could finally see its true face.

A white dolphin immediately swam to Huimei's feet. Huimei gently stroked the dolphin's shiny and smooth head and said, "Xiao Ao, look who's here?"

Xiao Ao is the name of this white dolphin.

Seeing this, Sanye Yangcai immediately stepped forward, squatted down, stared at the white dolphin, and said, "Xiao Ao, do you still remember me?"

However, just as Yang Cai tried to reach out and touch Xiao Ao, it suddenly cried out and dived into the water. It swam around in the pool for a while, and then suddenly rushed out of the water, splashing water, which made people feel very uneasy.

"What happened to Xiao Ao?" Sanye Yangcai asked in confusion. I remember that when I came to see it before, Xiao Ao was not like this.

Huimei shook her head, looking helpless: "I don't know what's wrong with it. It's been getting very agitated lately."

Meanwhile - SKaRD base.

The day after Mitsuha Haruna went on vacation, the SKaRD team members received a strange mission.

After receiving the order, members Shui Sen Bei Miao and Luo Bing Yang quickly rushed to Earth on the EX-J.
