What do you mean I have to fight Ultraman Tiga?

The Cottage team has quite a lot of work to do.

The next morning, Li Xiang went into the laboratory to help with the research on Magus dynamics systems.

This completely transformed Li Xiang from a former member of the Victory Team and now an advisor to the Kote Team into a scientific researcher.

Li Xiang pondered whether he should try to poach members from the Huote team. He had heard that there was a physicist named Taki Akihisa in the Huote team who was said to have strong research capabilities.

The Cottage team is currently short of players.

In the afternoon, Li Xiang rushed off to carry out his mission.

Traces of the Fiend Beast were discovered in a fishing village.

Because it was taking place on Japanese soil, the Futo Team also joined the operation.

Of course, the operation was led by the Kote team, and the person in charge on site was Li Xiang.

In order not to cause worry or alarm to the residents of the fishing village, only a small number of people went to investigate this time.

The team includes Ryouki Kote, Shinji Kaname, and biologist Yumi Funahara.

Of course, there were also a few spies monitoring Kaminari.

But it's not a big problem. Although the whole world now knows that Kaminari is Ultraman, the Science Patrol has, to some extent, shown that they have a connection with Ultraman.

Li Xiang and Captain Po Shui, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, still managed to gain some say in the situation.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of espionage; perhaps some madmen would choose to directly arrest Kaminari.

“Mr. Kaminaga, I didn’t expect you to come on your own initiative for this mission. I thought you would stay out of sight for the time being because of your identity... After all, there are still many people all over the world who are eyeing Ultraman.”

Li Xiang walked at the front, dressed in casual clothes, as if he wasn't there on a mission but just for a picnic.

On the contrary, Kaminari and Funagami, dressed in suits, appeared more serious.

"That was my original plan, but I heard about the Calamity Beast here, so I came... Well, I can't let it hurt humans."

Perhaps feeling that his words were a bit cold, Kaminari added another sentence at the end.

"I see. Kaminaga, you really like humans."

While answering Shen Yong, Li Xiang took photos of the small fishing village. The boatman on the other side watched Li Xiang's actions, but she noticed that Li Xiang was taking pictures of unimportant scenery, rather than taking pictures for the purpose of recording.

So she boldly reminded Li Xiang.

"Advisor Li... This mission is, after all, about the Calamity Beast. Why do you not seem nervous at all? And... you're even wearing casual clothes, like you're on a picnic."

"Oh, you said this."

Li Xiang didn't feel offended; instead, he answered Chuan Yuan's questions.

"Since this mission is only to investigate a suspected appearance of a Calamity Beast, and it is not certain that a Calamity Beast has appeared, I think it is unnecessary to wear formal attire in order to avoid disturbing the residents here. In addition, there are already Science Patrol combat personnel stationed not far away, ready to deal with the appearance of monsters at any time."

"I see... Advisor Li is very thoughtful."

Having answered the boatman's question, the group then entered the fishing village.

"We received a tip that the fishing village has been frequently losing fish and livestock lately, and strange bird calls can be heard coming from the sea at night. The residents have tried to investigate the matter on their own several times, but they have not been able to catch the thief. Instead, someone discovered a huge white creature by the moonlight... In addition, there have been frequent tsunamis at sea during this period."

"Later, the residents here had no choice but to seek help from the police... So, what are your thoughts?"

Li Xiang gave a brief account of the fishing village, and upon hearing this, Funagi Yumi excitedly adjusted her glasses: "Lalgeus!"

Shen Yong and Li Xiang both turned to look at the edge of the boat.

Chuan Yuan, on the other hand, demonstrated his confidence as a biologist.

"If the Calamity Beast appears here, it is very likely to be Largeus!"

"Before Ultraman came to Earth, several Calamity Beasts appeared on Earth. Among them, except for one giant bird-type Calamity Beast called Lalgeus, the others have been successfully eliminated. However, Lalgeus was not eliminated because it used its flight ability... Therefore, based on the known clues, the Calamity Beast that appeared here is very likely the Lalgeus that disappeared last time!"

Based on these clues, it can indeed be deduced that the calamity beast here is likely Largeus.

"But there's another question. If it really is Largeus, why doesn't it harm humans like the other calamities, but only steals fish and livestock at night?"

Li Xiang raised another question.

Chuan Yuan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

After pondering for a while, but still unable to figure it out, Chuan Yuan could only casually say, "Perhaps... it doesn't want to harm humans?"

"Haha, then it really is a kind monster. If that's the case, maybe it can become friends with humans."

After hearing what Chuan Yuan said, Li Xiang laughed, then quickened his pace to the beach and started taking pictures by himself.

Shen Yong murmured, "How could the Calamity Beast... possibly be friends with humans?"

Li Xiang, on the other hand, was taking pictures of a medieval-style ship at sea.

After that, the group walked into the fishing village together.

Then, the three of them saw a boy being surrounded by a group of villagers, seemingly trying to steal something.

"You...give me back my bird!"

"You bastard, this bird is a monster! Are you trying to kill us?!"

The children and villagers were fighting over a white bird.

But the child looked to be less than ten years old; how could he possibly outmaneuver these villagers?

A villager pushed the child, and the child fell.

"Ouch—"

Seeing the child being pushed down, Li Xiang quickly went forward to help him up.

"Are you OK."

“I am not…my bird, they are trying to steal my bird.”

Shen Yong and Chuan Yuan also gathered around.

As the three approached, the villagers quickly became wary of them.

"Who are you, and what do you want?"

Li Xiang helped the little boy up and then took out an ID card.

"We are police officers, why are you bullying this child!"

The documents are fake, but they are officially forged, so they can also be considered genuine, because ordinary people are more familiar with the identity of a police officer than with the FBI or the SEALs.

When the villagers saw Li Xiang produce his police ID, their expressions immediately became obsequious.

"Sir, we're catching a monster."

A villager brought out the white bird he had caught to show Li Xiang.

"This is the monster, the monster that the child raised. It comes out at night to steal our livestock, which is why we caught it."

"Is this the same? I understand. Now hand over this monster to me, and we'll take care of the rest."

"But……"

Li Xiang demanded that the villagers hand over the monster, but the villagers were clearly unwilling.

Of course, Li Xiang knew why they were unhappy.

It's understandable that they're unhappy because they lost a lot of livestock. Anyone would be unhappy if a monster ate their things.

"It's alright, the government will compensate you for your losses. Please provide a detailed breakdown of your losses, and someone will come to handle this matter later."

Li Xiang patiently offered solutions, and the villagers looked relieved when they heard that the government would provide compensation.

"That's wonderful, thank you so much!"

"This is the monster. Catch it carefully."

Li Xiang took the white bird from the cage, then turned around and handed it to the little boy.

"Here, this is for you, right?"

The little boy hurriedly took the cage, opened it, and released the bird, holding it in his hands.

"Little bird, are you alright?"

The little boy gently stroked the bird, and only after seeing that the bird was alright did he turn to look at Li Xiang.

"Thank you... Officer! Thank you for getting my bird back!"

Chapter 90 Another Monster?

They retrieved the bird for the child and promised that the government would compensate the villagers before the group left.

Meanwhile, Kaminari, relying on his abilities, immediately recognized that the little boy was the bird in his hand, which was actually the monster.

Shen Yong approached Li Xiang without making a sound, intending to remind him.

"That bird is the monster. Are you sure you can hand it over to that child?"

"it does not matter."

"Why?" Shen Yong asked, puzzled, and looked at Li Xiang with a curious gaze.

"That's a monster, a monster that can harm humans. How could you just hand it over to that child like that?"

But Li Xiang turned around and looked at Shen Yong with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.

"Then why do you, as an alien, protect humanity?"

Now it was Kaminari's turn to be at a loss.

"Look at them."

Seeing Shen Yong's confusion, Li Xiang pointed to the little boy, who was feeding birds.

"Isn't it obvious why that monster didn't harm humans?"

"Because the monster has become friends with the child."

Funagami and Kaminaga looked at the child playing with the birds.

The child looks very happy.

“So, Shen Yong, isn’t this the answer?” Li Xiang picked up his camera and captured the scene of the little boy playing with the bird.
