Sneering Trickster

Sneering Trickster (嗤うトリックスター Warau Torikkusutā) is the eighty-ninth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
Alien Valky reveals that hunting humans is a hobby of wealthy aliens on Earth, and she is their tour guide. 
== Plot ==
Kotaro interrupts a conversation between a wealthy man and his mistress by flying out of the police station. He lands successfully and looks at the opening through which Valky kicked him. Kotaro demands to know again why she is doing this. Valky already told him it is her job and pulls out a katar, sending a shockwave forward that splits a car in half. Kotaro jumps over the shockwave and nearly hits Valky with his flames. Valky jumps onto a collapsed pillar where she explains the situation: there are many immigrant aliens on Earth right now, some of which are wealthy. Although they live decent lives, it is far below their previous standard of living. Although they are guests on Earth, to stoop to the level of humans who are inferior in every way is nothing but humiliating for them. Therefore, these rich aliens are killing humans just to let off some steam, and Valky is a freelance guide who organizes and leads them.
Reputation and reliability are crucial for freelancers, and Kotaro has ruined her business. They both charge at each other. Valky dodges Kotaro's flames just in time to leap in the air and fire several bullets that cover Kotaro in sticky goo. Moments later, the goo hardens like cement, disabling Kotaro's movements. According to Valky, these are hardening restraint rounds used by the Varebul army. Unexpectedly, Kotaro breaks free in mere seconds. Shinjiro and Seiji arrive on a rooftop overlooking the battlefield and see an Ultraman lookalike fighting an alien. Kotaro does not care about Valky's business. As far as he is concerned, anyone who thinks it is acceptable to kill those who are supposed to be "inferior" to them is the lowest of the low. He lets his flames propel him forward at maximum output and prepares to incinerate Valky, but she suddenly stops him in his tracks. She admits she was only the guide and did not kill anyone. She agrees with what Kotaro said earlier and suddenly kisses him on the mouthplate. Shinjiro chooses to see this out of all things. Upon realizing what is happening, Kotaro jumps back out of surprise and disgust to see Valky jump on a siren. She teasingly says she will see him again and teleports away. Shinjiro and Seiji land behind him, and Kotaro folds his helmet back, his face drenched in sweat. It has been some time since they have seen each other.
Rena passes through a park at night and is on the phone with her manager, Shiraishi. Bemular suddenly appears floating before her and has something important to tell her...
