Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

Chapter 48. The Victory Team is wiped out! The culprit is Belial!

"Wow... the captain has really shrunk! So small, so cute!"

Captain Megumi usually behaves as a gentle and rational mature beauty, both serious and kind, and her conduct is impeccable, which makes her the trusted and popular choice of the Victory Team.

But... such a reliable captain suddenly turned into a tiny loli, exquisitely beautiful, her white Victory Team uniform replaced with a lovely pink princess dress, and she even wore a big pumpkin hair clip on her head. The shock and contrast were unimaginable.

Daigo and Shinjo were dumbfounded. Vice Captain Munakata was swaying precariously, and even had to grab the wall to keep from falling.

After a moment of silence, an incredible, ecstatic gasp erupted throughout the operations center.

Jin Yi pinched Captain Xiao Hui's cheek; it was soft and bouncy, like a freshly baked pudding. Apart from Vice Captain Zong Fang, who was rather reserved, the remaining male team members exchanged tacit glances, revealed malicious smiles, and slowly approached Captain Xiao Hui.

"Stop! If you dare touch me, your salaries will be suspended next month!"

His voice was soft and childlike, lacking any semblance of authority, but the content of his words deterred the jackals. Although the captain was easy to pet, their wallets were more important.

But... you can stop the jackals, but you can't guard against the female hunter from behind.

"Captain...so cute, so adorable..."

Lina silently circled behind Captain Xiao Hui, her speed and agility almost fooling Boss Jin.

Lina has always loved cute little animals, but in this combat center, there was no creature cuter than Captain Xiao Hui. She hugged Captain Xiao Hui tightly and, just like Jin Yi, pinched Captain Xiao Hui's cheeks.

"Stop it, Lina! I'll deduct a month's salary for just one touch!"

"Then deduct my entire year's salary..."

Lina smiled dreamily.

Sure enough, Boss Jin nodded in satisfaction.

Clow Cards... no, Monster Cards should be used like this: to bring smiles with cards. Cards should be things that bring joy.

【Zarab Alien - Masquerade】, this is the key to Boss Jin's disguise. It covers the surface of objects with electromagnetic camouflage, changing the shape and appearance of the objects. It works well whether it is applied to oneself or others. The only drawback is that it cannot be hit by heavy blows.

Lina was still stroking the captain's face when she suddenly realized that her fingers, running through the captain's long hair, had become as small as the captain's. She touched her own face and found that it was as smooth as an egg, without the need for foundation or other cosmetics.

"I...have shrunk too?!"

Lina looked down at the ground in disbelief. She was wearing a pinkish-purple ruffled nightgown, with a glittering star hair clip tucked crookedly into her hair. She smiled sweetly at her seven-year-old self.

But to another person, that smile was more powerful and terrifying than the punches of a billion monsters!

"Commander... move aside a little over there."

Vice Captain Munakata has gained another companion. Daigo's performance is even worse than the vice captain's. He is swaying and can only steady himself by holding onto the wall with both hands.

Ultraman Tiga is nothing special; the Daigo has sunk.

Shin-jo and Jue-jing exchanged a glance and suddenly felt very awkward.

"Don't rush, don't rush... Everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share!"

Fairness, fairness, or fucking fairness!

Boss Jin's generosity was fair; the soft light of the cards gradually expanded, engulfing everyone in the combat center. When the white light dissipated, the Victory Team was completely wiped out. These children should perhaps be called the Victory Kindergarten.

Even though he's shrunk, Horii is still a chubby little guy, and Daigo, even when he's smaller, still has the handsome features of an adult. Munakata still looks fierce, clearly a leader of the kids.

Everyone looked at each other, filled with an indescribable sense of wonder.

"Was it really necessary, Mr. Kim?!"

Captain Xiao Hui said with a stern face and a huff.

"Isn't this what you meant by 'mingling with the masses'? There's no better way to integrate than this!"

"All of this is for the needs of combat, Captain Xiaohui."

"I can't believe it," Boss Jin said shamelessly.

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my actions are righteous.

As the only adult in the entire operations center, Boss Jin began to assign troops and allocate teams.

"Daigo and Rena are a pair—"

Daigo looked grateful, but then pulled his hand back as he was about to reach out, his face turning red to the roots of his ears. Rena, on the other hand, casually took Daigo's hand.

"The squad leader and the vice-leader are in one group—"

The two coughed and shook hands in a businesslike manner, appearing to be acting out of a sense of public duty. However, Boss Jin clearly saw that Deputy Captain Zong Fang's hand, which was in his pocket, was trembling slightly.

"Dig well and new town group."

"This is unfair! We object!"

These two were shouting louder than anyone else.

"Objection overruled."

Mr. Jin waved his hand impatiently, saying that boys of this age are noisy and that it's their own problem if they can't find a dance partner at the ball.

Shinjo sighed. It was just a patrol, and calling Mayumi over was pointless and only seemed like an attempt to cover up the truth. Luckily, he had a comrade-in-arms named Digging Well who shared his plight.

"Don't look at me like that, it's pathetic. And let me tell you... I have a date with Chizuru next week..."

He clutched his chest and retreated repeatedly.

Even you, brat, have betrayed the revolution?!

Xincheng angrily and roughly grabbed the hand that was digging the well.

The patrol car cruised through the streets of Tokyo and soon found the location of the witch Kiranbo.

Tokyo is vast, and wandering around aimlessly is like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, most kidnappers share common characteristics: Abbas kidnaps able-bodied men to serve as soldiers, the Crow People's kidnapping list is rather diverse, including both men and women, while the witch Kiranbo prefers to target children.

By keeping an eye on the target group, the kidnapper's whereabouts can be traced.

Riding the wave of Toei's huge success, Galactron and Tiga toys became incredibly popular, even selling out. Factories worked overtime and production lines ran at full capacity, but many children still didn't get their toys.

At this moment, Boss Kim announced that during Halloween, parents who bring their children to watch Toei Company's stage play performances could enter a lottery to receive a limited edition doll for free. In an instant, all the children in Tokyo were excited and held their parents' hands tightly to watch the performance.

In this way, by artificially controlling the gathering of children, Kiranbo, who sees children as prey, will surely appear at the target location.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; the wasp hunting the bee runs headlong into the spider web.

The windows of Sherlock's car rolled down slightly, and six little heads popped out.

"The temperature readings from the infrared detector are highly abnormal, and there's no sign of the witch in the mirror—"

After reporting the findings, Captain Komei and Deputy Captain Munakata exchanged a knowing glance and simultaneously looked towards the long-nosed witch handing out lollipops to the children on the street corner.

"Looks like we've found our prey!"

P.S. There's someone who's been overlooked, that's right, it's Nori. This guy didn't actually need to shrink, because Nori was only 14 years old when Tiga was filmed.
