In and Out of Sight

is the fortieth chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
==Synopsis==
Shinjiro goes out with Rena and catches Seiji extorting someone. 
==Plot==
Seiji has a flashback: Long ago, he was inside the wreck of a shot-down airplane. It was a miracle he was still breathing. Someone expressed her deep regret to have involved so many innocent humans in this incident. She begged the others to save Seiji despite their positions and the risk. Seiji snaps back to reality and answers a call on his phone.
Rena is waiting in the Ultraman Memorial when Shinjiro busts in through the door, having heard of her arrival by an employee named "Maru." Rena takes off her glasses and reintroduces herself to Shinjiro: "Rena Sayama" is her stage name, while her real name is "Rena Endo." Shinjiro also introduces himself and nearly blows his cover. Rena gets excited when she hears Shinjiro is the son of Shin Hayata, the SSSP member. When she asks him if he found out more about Ultraman, Shinjiro suddenly feels malice coming from upstairs: It is Dan, observing them with a murderous look that contains a mental message: "Kid, that woman is the pop idol who publicly says she is a fan of Ultraman. She is only getting close to you to obtain information about him. As an adolescent boy, to get close to a pop idol must be thrilling, right? I see right through your childish thoughts and desires. I even understand you are secretly hoping to get lucky and get closer and closer to her. However, if you let your lust get the best of you and tell her stuff you should not, I'll kill you!" Even if Shinjiro does not know what Dan is saying, he gets the mental message that Dan wants to kill him. He quickly decides to switch places to talk with Rena. While leaving, Dan gives him another "I'll kill you" look while drawing his sword.
At the police station, Endo thinks about the barcode on the corpses they discovered when Kurata calls him. He tells Endo that the only thing they know about those bodies is they are not Japanese. When Kurata asks Endo if he knows something, Endo says he does not, not even if there are aliens involved. But if they are, it is about time to add pressure on the higher-ups. Then, someone calls him over.
At "Centurion Coffee," Shinjiro and Rena have some drinks, and the latter wants to continue the conversation. Shinjiro is more concerned about saying the right things to get closer to her. But then, his attention goes to an emergency outside: two window cleaners are dangling next to a large building. Shinjiro knows he has to act. He tells Rena he has a way to contact Ultraman and will call him now. Shinjiro runs into an alley and activates his Mimicry System wristwatch. Although it only changes his appearance and does not equip the actual Ultraman Suit, Shinjiro still transforms and flies up to catch them. The cable snaps, but Shinjiro catches the two window cleaners at the nick of time, and the crowd cheers as he lands with them. Rena is surprised Shinjiro managed to call Ultraman. Shinjiro flies away and appears next to Rena shortly after. Then, his phone goes off, and Rena realizes she forgot to take pictures of Ultraman. Over the phone, Edo tells him to go to a certain place.
Under a bridge, Seiji extorts a scammer with an evidence-containing USB drive, who begs him not to tell his company or family. Seiji offers to give the drive to him if he is willing to pay the right amount. Then, Shinjiro arrives and asks what he is doing...
