After Tenya used Susanoo to lift the plane and fly for over an hour...

Finally, the plane arrived safely at Chiba Airport.

The staff were already standing by, with two fire trucks spraying water on the smoking, overheated engines to cool them down.

"Captain! Hero! Hero! Hero!!!"

The passengers, unaware of the truth, attributed everything to the old captain.

They believed that thanks to the captain's calmness in a crisis and his superb piloting skills, a terrible disaster had been averted.

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Both engines had issues, how could the plane possibly keep flying?"

"Over three thousand kilometers! Even if one engine was perfectly fine, it would be impossible to arrive on time."

The veteran captain had a look of disbelief.

He would rather believe that Ultraman Tiga existed in the world, carrying the plane forward.

"Captain, it's entirely possible!"

"Do you think there might have been an issue with the instrument display, and the engine problem wasn't as serious as it seemed?"

The co-pilot's analysis sounded reasonable at first listen, but upon closer inspection, it was utter nonsense.

The engines were smoking and on fire, and you're telling me the problem isn't big?

The report on this plane incident is destined to become an unsolved mystery in aviation history.

However, as the true hero who saved everyone, Tenya quietly left the airport with his group.

"How does it feel to be a behind-the-scenes hero?" Yumiko teased.

"Not great, it's very troublesome." Tenya shrugged expressionlessly.

His arms were sore from holding them up...

Although it was Susanoo's arms.

To be precise, his eyes were sore from continuously outputting ocular power.

"But, it was really cool!" Miko watched him with a look of admiration.

"Boyfriend-kun, you were amazing!" Hana gave a thumbs up.

"What an uncooperative guy."

Yukino shook her head, but the corners of her lips curved slightly upwards.

"Regardless, Tenya-kun did a good deed by saving everyone." Megumi affirmed with a smile.

Tenya's eyes lit up as he said, "That's right!"

"As a reward for saving your lives, how do you plan to repay me?"

"Offering yourselves to me wouldn't be too much, right?"

"You, is that all you think about?" Eriri complained weakly.

"As a reward, if it's just feet... it's not entirely impossible~" Utaha's words were ambiguous.

"I'll remember that." Tenya nodded with a serious expression.

"Things within the contract, I can do them too!" Rikka stared at him with bright eyes.

"I'll remember that too." Tenya nodded again.

"Uh, how should I put this..."

"Tenya-kun doesn't have the demeanor of a hero at all."

Yui gave a simple smile.

"..."

Sayu remained silent.

For her, the experiences today were too much information to process all at once, making it hard to accept.

After leaving the airport, the group dispersed and went their separate ways.

"Sayu, want to come to my place?" Tenya extended a sincere invitation again.

Since she's already locked in, wouldn't it be great to just move her home?

"No..."

"Living together is too early for me." Sayu shook her head.

Sigh!

Has the Hokkaido War God fallen from here on?

A hint of regret flashed in Tenya's eyes.

The original Sayu in the source material was so self-destructive she'd sleep wherever she went.

One can only say that a person's change in mindset often happens in an instant.

"Next, I will travel around, searching for the meaning of life."

"If..."

"I'm saying *if*..."

"If one day I get tired, could you give me a place to belong?"

Sayu watched him with a complex expression, her eyes filled with sadness.

"No." Tenya answered without hesitation.

"Eh...?"

Sayu froze instantly.

"My home isn't a place you can come and go from as you please." Tenya said righteously.

"Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"You do it with me every day." Tenya said confidently.

Living here for free is impossible. You have to earn your keep by providing 'free meals'.

"You...!"

Sayu's eyes widened upon hearing this, and her face instantly turned bright red.

This made her involuntarily recall the embarrassing memory of that day in the hotel when he tricked her into providing 'free meals'.

"You scoundrel, die!!"

After scolding him angrily, Sayu turned around indignantly and left in a huff.

"Your unfulfilled desires scared the girl away." Yukino said sarcastically.

"Aren't you still by my side, Yukino?" Tenya turned his head, winked at her, and smiled.

"Don't misunderstand! I just happen to be going the same way as you."

Since they live in the same apartment building, there was nothing wrong with that statement.

"Since we met by chance, let's go to your place for dinner tonight." Tenya suggested, seizing the opportunity.

"I give up..."

"How can you shamelessly go to someone else's house for a free meal?"

Yukino reached out and pinched the space between her eyebrows.

"Don't be so stingy, Yukino. After all, I'm your savior." Tenya patted her shoulder.

"..."

Yukino was momentarily speechless. She really couldn't refute that point.

"Fine..."

"Consider it repaying a favor."

Yukino sighed helplessly.

"Well then, let's not delay."

Tenya suddenly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"You...!"

Just as Yukino tried to push him away, she found her vision becoming distorted.

The next second, the two of them were back in the familiar apartment.

"Haa..."

Yukino took a deep breath, her expression returning to normal.

After experiencing similar things many times, she was no longer surprised.
