Ultraman: He was bestowed a treasure by the King of Ultra at the start of the game.

Rittrolley took out his communicator.

He initially thought it was because the situation was critical, so when Alma sent him a message, she only typed that one word.

But now it seems that the reality may not be like that.

The reason she only typed one word is probably because that's all the word she can send.

Interestingly, under normal circumstances, if it were teleportation, the surrounding space would be distorted, so she shouldn't be able to send a single message.

Since it was sent, it proves that there wasn't even the slightest spatial fluctuation around her at the time.

Transmission without spatial fluctuations.

Isn't this Elaine's doing?

It seems they finally couldn't resist getting involved themselves...

Ritter looked at the communicator in his hand, feeling somewhat annoyed, after all, it was a divine artifact of the Liang race.

He didn't know where to look for people, or where to go to rescue Alma and the others.

"This is getting a bit troublesome..."

Suddenly, the previous chat history on the communicator screen caught his attention.

"Mirror Star..."

I asked her to investigate the situation of Mirror Star before, but I haven't received any results from her investigation yet.

They should be on the way to the investigation now, so this base is very likely near Mirror Star.

We've found a clue!

Ritter broke through from underground to the surface, and sure enough, the Mirror Star appeared in sight.

As usual, Rittrolley enveloped himself completely with spacetime energy and an invisibility orb, and fearlessly entered the Mirror Star.

"no one?"

Rittrolley landed in the southern part of the planet Mirror, but when Ultra's telekinesis was released, it found that cities and villages were still there.

But there was no life inside.

Weird.

(The mirror person's appearance is similar to that of a human.)

As we flew, we explored the city—big cities, small cities, remote cities, magnificent cities—everything was kept clean and tidy, yet excessively quiet.

until……

He arrived at the capital of Mirror Star, the representative and center of the entire planet's civilization.

There were people here, and a lot of them, it was practically packed. The streets were teeming with people.

Even the city walls were densely packed with people.

"What's happening here?"

Ritteroli was puzzled; there didn't seem to be any terrible natural disasters happening anywhere else on Mirror Star.

Why? Everyone has gathered in the capital.

There was definitely a problem...

Mirror figures are all a little over a meter tall, so Rittrolley, who is tens of meters tall, certainly couldn't stand on the ground.

Otherwise, a single trampling could kill a large number of them.

So, at this moment, he was in the air above the city.

Those air defense systems were completely unable to detect his presence.

The real secret must be hidden in the very heart of the city, which is exactly where he is flying right now.

"If you say there's nothing fishy about concentrating everyone in one city, who would believe that there isn't something fishy going on?"

……

The sound of running water was loud in the kitchen.

Daigo's hands moved mechanically among the greasy dishes, but his gaze drifted uncontrollably to the window.

"Really..."

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his knuckles turned white from the effort.

The dish soap foam clung to his wrist, but the cool touch couldn't quell Daigo's anxiety.

"Clap-"

The crisp cracking sound suddenly shattered the tranquility of the kitchen.

A white porcelain plate slipped from my fingers and shattered into tiny fragments on the tiled floor, the lingering smell of fish filling the air.

"Dagu!"

Lina's voice followed closely behind, still clutching the rag she used to wipe the table. As she rushed over, the strap of her apron was askew. "Are you hurt?"

Daigo finally came to his senses and looked at the mess at his feet. He noticed that a small cut had been made on his fingertip by a shard of metal, and blood was slowly seeping out.

"I'm sorry... I..." He tried to bend down to pick it up, but Lina grabbed his shoulder.

"Don't move, really, how can someone so big be so careless?" Lina's voice was very soft, but it carried an undeniable force.

She turned around and rummaged through the drawer for a band-aid. The movement of wrapping the bandage around her fingertips was very gentle, but Daigo felt as if the force was a hammer, hitting his taut nerves again and again.

"I……"

"You go out."

Lina threw the last piece of debris into the trash can, and as she stood up, her apron was slightly damp. "I'll take care of this. You can go and rest for a while."

"But……"

"obedient."

She looked up at him, her eyes holding no reproach, only a complex emotion he couldn't decipher, like a lake shrouded in mist.

"Xiao Guang is in her room, go keep her company."

Daigo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally nodded, his steps unsteady as he left the kitchen.

The sunlight slanted across the corridor floor, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Despite it being a warm afternoon, he felt anything but pleasant.

The moment I pushed open my daughter's bedroom door, her soft, sweet voice rang out first.

"Pigmon, eat slowly. Today's food has chopped carrots in it."

Xiaopan sat on the carpet with her legs wide open, a blue food bowl piled high with food in front of her, and she was adding food to the bowl little by little with a small spoon.

Pigumon, now round and plump from being fed, squatted nearby, its pink nose twitching as it made satisfied "gurgling" sounds.

The bookshelves were filled with Ultraman models, and sunlight streamed through the gaps in the cartoon curtains, casting dappled patterns of light on the models' metal shells.

Yes, although Hikari is a girl.

However, because of Daigo, her interests lean more towards intense battles, and she has a large number of Ultraman models in her room.

Daigo leaned against the door frame, looking at his daughter's serious profile, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed a bit.

"Dad?" Xiao Guang turned her head, her ponytail swinging with the movement. "Why aren't you coming in?"

When Daigo walked over and sat down next to her, Pigmon immediately wagged its short tail and came over, rubbing its head against his trouser leg.

He reached out and touched the top of the little guy's head. The touch was actually quite ordinary, but it inexplicably made him feel relaxed.

Pigumon had finished eating the food in his bowl and was looking up at him, his round eyes seemingly reflecting light.

"dad,"

Xiao Guang suddenly spoke, gently patting Pigmon's back.

"If I'm in danger, will Dad risk everything and travel thousands of miles to save me?"

Daigo felt a jolt in his heart as he looked down into his daughter's clear eyes.

"I definitely will." He heard himself say this, his voice a little hoarse. "Xiao Guang is an important person in Dad's heart."

"That……"

"So, I have to protect you two at all times and can't leave you for even a moment."

Daigo suddenly interrupted Hikaru's words.

Xiao Guang opened his mouth, but seeing his father's determined eyes, he didn't know what to say.

But Daigo, who had been so determined, fell silent after saying those words.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Only Pigumon was happy, jumping around and skipping after finishing his meal.

At that moment, both father and daughter turned their gaze to the carefree Piqué.

"If my dad doesn't come to my side when I need him the most, I will be very sad."

Xiao Guang said in a pitiful tone, "After all, besides my dad, there aren't many people who can help me in times of danger."
