For Akane Shinjo, making monsters was a pastime, and playing with Fang Zheng was also a pastime.
But it was different for everyone else.
For example, Rikka Hoshino and the others in the Gridman Alliance.
After their previous defeat against the giant monster, Hibiki Yuta, Rikka Hoshino, and the others had pulled themselves together once more. The appearance of the black Dragon in particular had unsettled them. Thus, they resolved to become stronger so they could stop it when the monsters returned.
This just proved that people judged by appearances. They saw no problem with the Magical Girl defeating monsters. But when Deathwing defeated one, they considered it a new threat... Though Deathwing did have quite the final-boss aura.
Of course, getting stronger did not mean undergoing special training like in some hot-blooded shonen manga and gaining new finishing moves. It meant... upgrading their computer.
That was right. The reason Fang Zheng and the others had seen the giant collapse into a fake death during the combination was that the old computer in Rikka Hoshino's shop could not handle the amount of information involved and crashed outright. In the end, Rikka Hoshino had decisively pulled the plug and rebooted it, resolving the frozen state.
But clearly, GRIDMAN could not keep fighting like this.
So GRIDMAN's four companions discussed it, bought that old computer, and gave it a massive overhaul. They forcibly turned a floppy-disk Windows 95 machine into a high-end computer capable of running Crysis at maximum settings... With that, GRIDMAN could deploy in his complete form!
Thus, everyone eagerly waited for the monsters to appear again.
However... no monsters appeared.
After all, Akane Shinjo was currently too busy having fun with Fang Zheng every day to have any time to create new monsters.
Naturally, the others knew nothing about
