Ultraman Blaze

"Why is she here!?"

The moment Yan Qi took off her protective mask, Hanyu Xiangyu's body trembled instantly and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

At this moment, when Yan Qi looked up at Sato, she also saw Hanyu Xiangyu standing behind her. Her eyebrows raised in surprise, and her originally tightly closed lips slightly opened.

"Why is he here!?"

"This is Chief of Staff Sato of the Asia Branch."

Soon, Yan Qi turned her eyes away from Xiangyu, then suppressed the shock in her eyes, and said to Sato as if nothing had happened: "Chief of Staff."

Sato had sharp eyes. When he saw that Yan Qi's first glance was not on him, he turned and glanced at Xiangyu, then looked at her and said, "Do you two know each other?"

After hesitating for a few breaths, Xiangyu nodded and replied: "Yes, I know him. We have trained in the same school."

"Oh." Sato smiled knowingly, without the depressing eagle look on his face, "So you're an old classmate."

Then, he returned to the topic, his smile faded again, and he said to the middle-aged man in charge of experimental research and development: "If nothing goes wrong, the materials will arrive within a week. I need you to solve the energy problem within a month."

"I hope the next time I see someone defeating a monster on the news it's not Blaze."

Sato's last sentence seemed very hostile, which made Xiangyu feel a little pressured, and his expression became complicated.

Later, Sato and the officers left the underground research base after a casual tour, and Hanyu Xiangyu was also allowed to enter and exit the base freely.

noon--

Yan Qi finished her work, took off her protective suit, and walked out of the laboratory. The automatic sensor door opened, and she saw Yuzuru Xiangyu who had been waiting outside the laboratory for a long time.

"Xiangyu?" After hesitation, Yan Qi walked towards Xiangyu.

"Yan Qi."

Hanyu Xiangyu looked at her with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.

Because of Xiangyu's work, the two have basically had no contact since they separated last time; some time ago, Xiangyu came to her former unit during his vacation to find her, and after learning from her unit that Yan Qi had been transferred, he called again to try to contact her, but in the end, the call never got through...

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two walked side by side for a long distance without saying anything. Finally, Xiangyu broke the deadlock with a slightly awkward opening: "So you were transferred here to work."

"Yeah." Yan Qi responded, with a glimmer of light hidden in her clear eyes. She explained, "I took the initiative to apply to participate."

For some reason, Hanyu Xiangyu's heart was suddenly touched, and his concerned eyes fell on Yan Qi's clean face. He knew in his heart that this girl was a good girl with ambition. She had been working hard since she failed the training school and was assigned to the branch. Even he, who was in SKaRD, was inferior to her.

"Will doing this have any effect on your health?" Xiangyu asked with concern, "Why don't you go work in another unit?"

After all, the amount of radiation generated when the reactor is running is huge. Even if you wear protective clothing, if you are exposed to the air by mistake, the consequences will be disastrous, just like the Japanese government discharged nuclear waste water into the ocean. Now, decades have passed, and radiation pollution to the marine environment still continues.

However, Yan Qi smiled slightly, her red lips showing pearly teeth, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she softly and smartly rejected Xiangyu's concern: "It doesn't matter, I am actually living a much more fulfilling life working here than before."

"By the way, have you eaten?" Yan Qi quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll treat you to a meal."

Hanyu Xiangyu looked at Yan Qi with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a few breaths, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, the two took the elevator back to the ground and had a meal in the branch's restaurant. Compared to Xiangyu, Yan Qi was more familiar with this place, but her familiarity made Xiangyu feel a little strange.

During the meal, Yan Qi suddenly asked, "Are you busy with work recently?"

"It's OK, but I wish all of us SKaRDs could just sit back and get paid like idlers."

Yan Qi laughed secretly, her eyebrows curved like floating willow leaves.

"Oh, right."

"It seems that one of your team members is here too. I happened to see him last time. He was with the staff responsible for the development of special spacecraft."

"You are talking about Chu Yichen, right?" Xiangyu smiled, "Ha... that kid has made great progress."

"If nothing goes wrong, once the vibranium materials are delivered to the branch, the special spacecraft will be ready for combat use in two months."

"Then it will be your chance to show your prowess."

When Yan Qi said this, Xiangyu's face did not show the happiness that he should have as the captain of SKaRD. Instead, he had a sad look on his face and seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

In Xiangyu's opinion, the creation and development of the special air machine further demonstrated that TPC did not trust Blaze at all. He even learned from the words of the chief of staff just now that Blaze was likely classified as a "monster" in the eyes of those senior executives.

Thinking of this, Xiangyu's face became more and more stiff. For a moment, he didn't know whether Asgalon's research and development was right or wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Qi noticed that Xiangyu's face looked strange and asked cautiously.

"It's okay." Xiangyu responded after he realized what was happening. "Now that you mention it, I can't wait to drive it."

Although he has seen Asgalon in the world of the String People, it would be nice to have one in our own world, as long as it is not our enemy...

Suddenly, Xiangyu felt as if he felt something was spying on him, and his hair stood on end. He looked alertly at the corner behind him according to his instinct...but there was no one there.

"Is it my illusion?" Xiangyu frowned and fell into deep thought. But the next second, a vibration from the communication watch interrupted his thoughts:

"what happened?"

"Captain, a monster has appeared..."

"Monster?"

"Okay, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the call, Xiangyu quickly stood up and was about to leave. However, when his serious gaze met Yan Qi's, the coldness in his eyes instantly turned into a hint of apology.

"Feel sorry."

Yan Qi was not angry at all. Instead, she understood Xiangyu's heart. She smiled slightly and said in a warm and gentle voice: "Go, there are more people who need you."

The seemingly gentle voice hit Xiangyu's heart like a heavy hammer. His eyes became more determined, and then he nodded and said "hmm". Then he hurriedly left the branch and returned to the lunar base on a special plane.
