Chapter 311: Brother Jun: I've Been Captured
The Omphalos incident has come to an end. The situation is settled and irreversible. Akivili and the others will handle the cleanup.
Lagus: If I 'elbow' an Aeon, will I win?
...
As soon as Kenji returned to his own world, he saw Erina pinning Alice to the ground.
Disheveled clothes, a flash of... scenery.
This grass is so round... no, this grass is so white...
Kenji looked at Elysia. They're doing this right on the lawn? They must be really close. What he and Elysia loved to watch most was this kind of fight—pulling hair, tearing at clothes.
There were no special effects, just the purest form of "sisterly" brawling.
After seeing Kenji and Elysia, Alice's expression didn't change, but Erina blushed and stood up from on top of her. Why are they back so suddenly?
...
"So, you two had a 'friendly sisterly battle'... over a menu?"
Kenji was amused. The two specialized in different fields. Alice was better at molecular gastronomy, a bit niche, while Erina's cooking was more comprehensive.
"You can just split it 50/50. Besides, do you two even understand the ingredients of this world?" Kenji asked.
It's such a small matter. Arguing over a menu... it's like arguing over whether tofu pudding should be sweet or savory.
"There are too many ingredients. We only understand a small part right now," the two said, shrugging.
"I think you two should go to a culinary school to learn."
"What? We have to go to school?"
Alice's mouth twitched. She was a student in the Shokugeki world, and now she has to go to school again here? Even though it would definitely be useful... she really didn't want to.
"I'll arrange it for you."
Kenji immediately called Mansam. He would have asked his Grandmaster Setsuno, but she wasn't on Earth right now.
[Studying at Chef Zaus's culinary school? Two spots? No problem. They can report whenever.]
Mansam was highly efficient. As the current IGO President, the pinnacle of power on Earth, it was a simple matter.
"Alright, you two can decide on the time. You can leave when you feel you're ready."
"Fine... school it is."
Alice shrugged helplessly. It seems even in another world, there's no escaping it.
Erina looked at Atashino. Isn't there a master chef right here? Can't she just teach us?
Kenji: My personal chef doesn't offer teaching services.
...
[Light is a Bond]: "Ahem... I have to tell you guys something. I've been captured."
Jun Himeya was embarrassed. Being captured by a golden alien... it was pretty humiliating.
[Star Forger]: "Is it Etelgar?"
The "Time-Space Demon" Etelgar, who pilots the "Time-Space Castle" and travels between dimensions, capturing and sealing Ultra Warriors.
This Etelgar is a real piece of work. The way he captured those Ultramen was very underhanded.
Tiga, Dyna, Gaia, Cosmos...
Never mind the others, but wasn't Master Cosmos just... "phoning it in" with his Luna Mode the whole time? If Master Cosmos wasn't "phoning it in," the sun would truly rise from the east.
[Crash-Test Pilot]: "A golden alien? I ran into one a while ago, too. But he just opened a time portal and ran off mid-fight."
Daigo had also encountered him. They didn't even get to finish the fight before the guy "ran," so he hadn't mentioned it in the group.
[Galactic Baseballer]: "Brother Jun, you didn't switch to your main account?"
[Light is a Bond]: "You mean Noa? You think I can just... do that?"
Jun Himeya was speechless. He still hadn't managed to "switch to his main account" even once.
Although the group's support meant he didn't have to fight by burning his life force anymore, his "main account" was still nowhere in sight.
[Odd Jobs Gin-san]: "As we all know, when a hero is in danger, he can unlock his potential and awaken a new form. Maybe if you 'croak' for a bit, Brother Jun, you'll accidentally unlock your main account."
[Shadowkhan Queen]: "What if he... doesn't unlock it?"
[Star Forger]: "If no miracle happens, then he'll... really croak."
[Star Forger]: "But Brother Jun isn't a normal person. He's a real man who can get up and fight even when his light is out. He can get a 'final flash' for a while."
Other heroes might unlock a new form. Brother Jun just... fights with his light out.
[Light is a Bond]: "Hey, hey! Don't talk like that. 'Dying' and all... it's bad luck."
Jun Himeya, still in his Nexus form, was imprisoned in what looked like a mirror space.
He didn't recognize the blue Ultraman next to him. He didn't look like a combat-type.
No wonder he got captured. Etelgar's strength was a real problem.
He was also helpless about that "light-out battle" thing.
You guys think I want to fight when my light is out?
The back-to-back battles had exhausted him. Then he was captured and "light-blasted." After all that... how much combat power did he have left?
: "The golden alien you're all talking about... is it this?"
Gamu sent a picture. Etelgar was standing on his Time-Space Castle, looking down on the city.
After his time-space waves were detected, Etelgar had drawn the attention of Earth's forces. He seemed to have no intention of hiding, just standing there openly.
[Light is a Bond]: "Yes, that's him."
[Crash-Test Pilot]: "I've seen him too. Gamu, he's really strong. You should go straight to 'Supreme' and call Agul to join you."
[Crash-Test Pilot]: "If you can't win, open a door for us."
[Star Forger]: "If you're prepared, and it's on your home turf, Etelgar won't get an easy win against Gaia and Agul."
No energy shortage, and a two-on-one. Barring any surprises, they could hold out for a long time.
: "Got it. Brother Jun, I'm coming to save you!"
[Light is a Bond]: "Er... thanks, Gamu."
Jun Himeya was embarrassed. Being captured... he clenched his fists in shame.
[Lifts-Bemstar-With-One-Hand]: "If you need it, the Ultra Warriors will head out to help."
The Warriors of Light love a "group" fight.
If needed, the "Ultra Mafia" will show up and provide a ton of security.
Open the door! The Ultra Saw-Man is here to deliver warmth!
Kenji smiled. Etelgar was in for a treat. "Divide and conquer" was easy. But facing a "righteous gang-up"... Etelgar could only curse them for having no honor.
"Darling, I have a question. The mouth-area of an Ultraman... can it... open♪?" Elysia asked, very curious.
"...Elysia, don't ask such a 'dark' question about the Warriors of Light," Kenji said, stunned for a second, then smiled.
That's a very... unique angle. Few people would think of that.
The Warriors of Light... they don't fight by biting monsters.
