I might be a fake Ultraman.

Chapter 5124 Asahina: Using my old friend's daughter as bait!

"Kotaro Higashi, from now on, you are a new member of the Seito team!"

Yutaro Asahina brought Kotaro Higashi back to the Seto team's base and then introduced him to all the team members.

The Sett team, the Far East branch base, has a strong futuristic technological feel, and it is built on Earth, not suspended in space.

At least the security is quite guaranteed.

The members of the Seth team were all surprised by Higashi Kotaro's addition, but then they all smiled.

Although Higashi Kotaro had a passionate brawl with the others before, their subsequent cooperation in fighting monsters earned him the respect and approval of the team.

Yutaro Asahina also introduced the members of the Set team to Kotaro Higashi.

Vice-Captain, Shuhei Aragaki, 30 years old. A round-faced man who looks very strong. Skilled in command and frontline combat.

Team member, Tetsuya Kitajima, 27 years old. A slender man with a constant smile. He is the team's weapons expert and marksman.

Team member, Tadao Nanbara, 22 years old. A tall, stylish young man. He seems to have a cheerful personality. Skilled in hand-to-hand combat, he is a frontline combat member.

Team member, Nishida Jiro, 19 years old. A somewhat green-looking young man. He excels in theoretical research, participates in R&D, and also handles operational coordination and urban surveillance.

Team member, Izumi Moriyama, 18 years old. A cute girl with a baby face. Not a front-line combat member, mainly responsible for liaison and analysis at headquarters.

Finally, there's the captain, Yutaro Asahina, 42 years old. His main responsibility is strategy development.

Currently, there are only these six people in the Far East branch of the Seth team. If you include the newly joined Higashi Kotaro, there are a total of seven people.

The Seth team continued the old Earth Defense Force's organizational model, building an elite squad that used cutting-edge weapons, while also having various departments working together in combat.

Kotaro Higashi's process of joining the Seito team was quite pleasant.

Furthermore, the fact that everyone worked together to defeat the monster created a foundation for bonds between them.

Upon learning that Higashi Kotaro did not have a place to live, Asahina Yutaro said he would help arrange it.

Kotaro Higashi has been wandering around the world for years—no, I mean adventuring and experiencing different lives.

He was all alone, with no fixed abode; he had long since sold his house in his hometown to pay for his travel expenses.

As for his family, Higashi Kotaro doesn't have many memories. He only vaguely remembers that he had a gentle and kind mother, and the only thing he has in common with her is an old black and white photograph.

The old photo shows a woman with a gentle smile; she is Kotaro Higashi's mother.

This photograph is also the only important item that accompanied Kotaro Higashi on his adventures.

As for the dog, Poji?

That was a stray dog ​​that Higashi Kotaro adopted after returning to Japan.

Before, the two of them, one human and one dog, were always sleeping under a small blanket under a bridge.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of wilderness survival skills, Kotaro Higashi is at least on par with Bear Grylls.

With his excellent physical qualities and honed boxing skills, he can truly defeat a tiger with his bare hands and elbows!

……

Yutaro Asahina did not arrange dormitory accommodation for Kotaro Higashi.

Instead, they directly arranged for Higashi Kotaro to stay with a family.

This also reflects Yutaro Asahina's good intentions.

Kotaro Higashi has no family or support. If he were to stay in the team members' dormitory, who knows what kind of life he would lead.

Furthermore, they may develop psychological problems and become withdrawn.

Moreover, Higashi Kotaro has been adventuring abroad for years, living a nomadic life like a rootless duckweed. To make him settle down, he needs to have something to hold onto.

Therefore, Yutaro Asahina decided to let Kotaro Higashi return to a normal family life.

Otherwise, if Kotaro Higashi suddenly has a brilliant idea and decides to go on a wandering trip again, then the gold card members he finally managed to draw will have to let the Seto team go.

Shiratori House.

A luxurious mansion appeared before Kotaro Higashi.

Kotaro Higashi looked completely out of place.

He was used to being alone, and being suddenly placed in a stranger's home made him extremely uncomfortable. Before even entering the room, he started scratching his head and ears like a monkey. This continued until the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man of similar age to Yutaro Asahina and a little boy stood at the door.

The little boy opened the door, while the middle-aged man greeted the guests.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Higashi Kotaro showed a surprised expression and blurted out, "Captain?"

The middle-aged man turned out to be the captain of the ship that took him back to Japan; he was a very imposing man!

Only then did Higashi Kotaro realize that the captain's surname was Shiratori.

Captain Shiratori admired Kotaro Higashi because of their time together on the journey. Captain Shiratori once invited Kotaro Higashi to become his crew member, but Kotaro Higashi refused, saying he wanted to become a boxer.

When they met again, Higashi Kotaro had moved into the captain's house, and instead of becoming a boxer, he became a member of the Seth team.

"Captain, what's going on?" Higashi Kotaro looked at Asahina Yutaro, suspecting that the captain had sold him to Captain Shiratori.

Yutaro Asahina offered no explanation. He glanced at Kotaro Higashi and said smugly, "Anyway, that's how it is."

“But…” Kotaro Higashi wanted to argue.

"This is the captain's order!"

Kotaro Higashi looked unconvinced and muttered under his breath, "What kind of order is that...?"

In fact, Asahina Yutaro and Captain Centennial have been friends for many years. When deciding to arrange a home for Higashi Kotaro, Asahina Yutaro thought of the Shiratori family.

When Captain Shiratori learned that the member of the Seth team who wanted to stay at his house was actually Higashi Kotaro, Captain Shiratori readily agreed.

Captain Shiratori smiled happily as he looked at the disgruntled Kotaro Higashi.

Kid, you've fallen into my hands after all!

Oh, I forgot to introduce him. The little boy who opened the door is Captain Shiratori's youngest son, Shiratori Kenichi.

Kenichi Shiratori stood quietly to one side; it was clear that he had received excellent upbringing.

Captain Shiratori has a son and a daughter. He also has an older daughter named Shiratori Saori, who is currently a university student.

"Dad, have the guests arrived?"

Accompanied by a woman's gentle voice, a woman dressed in home clothes appeared in the entryway.

Kotaro Higashi looked in the direction of the sound, and then met the gaze of Saori Shiratori.

Shiratori Saori was beautiful and youthful, her face showing both shyness at meeting a stranger and an undisguised curiosity. She gave Higashi Kotaro a shy smile at the end.

Shiratori Saori never expected that the elite member of the Seth team she was to stay with would be such a handsome and sunny man.

Kotaro Higashi stared wide-eyed.

He turned to look at Asahina Yutaro, who had a playful expression on his face.

Yutaro Asahina raised an eyebrow, as if asking Kotaro Higashi if he had anything else to say.

Higashi Kotaro's resentment vanished completely, replaced by a smile he couldn't suppress.

"It's an order, yes, that's right, it's an order~"

He absolutely loved that order!

Captain Shiratori narrowed his eyes.

Cloth!

Yutaro was actually using his daughter as bait!

"Who wouldn't like a beautiful older sister?"

A child's voice rang out from beside Higashi Kotaro's legs.

"Yeah, yeah~ Hmm? No!" Higashi Kotaro realized that he was very familiar with the voice. He looked down and saw Baili Yuan, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you doing here?" Higashi Kotaro asked instinctively.

Yutaro Asahina explained, "I forgot to mention, starting today, you two will be roommates. His name is Yuuki, and he will also be staying at the Shiratori house."

Kotaro Higashi: "???" (End of Chapter)
