Long Time No See, Yukino

After a faint flash of light, Xiao Zhen looked at the modern, technologically advanced skyscrapers before him. Before he could marvel at the atmosphere of a civilized age, he heard a promotional broadcast coming from the sky.

Looking up, he saw a massive hot-air balloon drifting overhead, its enormous slogans visible even from miles away.

Warrior of Light Battles Evil Monsters!

The Decisive Battle for Tokyo, the Destiny of Light and Darkness!

Xiao Zhen felt rather speechless. The earlier lines were fairly normal, but the later ones were... obviously embarrassing just to look at.

The second-to-last slogan in particular made Xiao Zhen sick.

Declaration of Light: Monster, I will never let you destroy the island nation I love most!

That was complete nonsense. What could possibly make Xiao Zhen nostalgic for this island nation? Naturally, only the young and beautiful women. As for the country beneath his feet, who the hell cared whether it sank into the sea someday?

Finding it too much of an eyesore, Xiao Zhen snapped his fingers at the sky.

Flames immediately ignited across several of the slogans, terrifying the staff aboard the hot-air balloon. If the balloon went out of control today, their families might be lining up outside the insurance company for money tomorrow.

Fortunately, only the slogans were burned beyond recognition, while the balloon itself suffered no major damage.

Xiao Zhen quickly found the filming location. From the casual conversations around him, he learned that production had entered its middle stage and was expected to wrap up completely in another two months.

As he walked through the area, absolutely no one paid any attention to a living person like him.

Several ceremonial cannons shot into the sky and exploded with loud bangs.

Just then, the production crew's loudspeaker began making an announcement.
