Ultraman Time Repairman

"Xiao Guang, what was the content of that voice? Has this happened before?"

Qian Shu's expression was solemn as he looked towards the light in the auditorium.

"Ah, this..."

"Ring ring ring..."

Just as Hikaru was about to answer, the phone rang, and he took out his phone to check it.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call. Yes, I'm still in Japan right now. I'll come find you as soon as I've sorted things out here. Is this London? Glasgow? Uh, where is that..."

"They are British parents."

"Taro said."

"So, Xiaoguang will be leaving soon?"

Misuzu Ishidou couldn't help but feel worried.

Qian Shu sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

Indeed, sensing some movement from the Dark Spark, he picked it up and examined it. He then looked up at Tomoya Ichijo, who was also looking down at the terminal controller of Steel Nine, clearly having detected an unknown fluctuation.

Behind Jiangxing Mountain, six beams of light of different colors shot into the sky, forming six pillars of light that lingered for a long time.

At the same time, Hikaru Arata, who had just hung up the phone, felt a tremor in his heart.

"what?"

Then, an image of a seven-headed monster flashed through my mind like lightning.

"Was that... a monster?"

"I sensed a strong fluctuation coming from Jiangxing Mountain."

Taro had just noticed something was wrong as well.

"It's probably coming from the monster doll, right? But why now..."

"The energy display is not a fluctuation emitted by the materialized monster. This fluctuation seems to be... a response, or rather, some kind of connection between them."

After analyzing the end effector in his hand, Ichijouji Yuya also came to a conclusion.

"In that case, let's all go to Mount Kosato tomorrow. We have two Sparks that can sense things, plus Tomoya's end effector, so finding these dolls shouldn't be too difficult. It's getting late, so let's all go back and get some sleep, and then prepare our gear for tomorrow's climb."

"Issue suggested," said Hikaru.

"Ok."

"no problem."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chishu nodded in agreement as well.

…………

Jiangxing Mountain was very quiet at night. The moon in the sky cast a silvery glow, which reflected on the green leaves on the mountain. If you looked closely, the mountain in the hazy night appeared to be greenish in the shadows.

"Where is it?"

A rustling sound came from the grass, and a figure in black and gold was digging in the dirt.

"Haha, finally found it."

The strange figure seemed to have found something and jumped up excitedly. The blue diamond-shaped chest lamp, the small blue round lamp on the forehead, and the pair of red eyes belonged to Balgi, the cosmic sea man.

Seeing this, Qian Shu, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, smiled slightly.

"Finally found."

He had been following this guy for an hour. Ever since everyone in the classroom decided to go to the back mountain together the next morning, he had come here alone. Although he was exhausted from fighting all day, he was worried that the enemy would get there first. In addition, Xiao Guang's strange experience had made him even more nervous. So he came to the back mountain to see if he could find any useful clues.

Who knew we'd run into Balgi? But thinking about it, it makes sense, since it was late at night and he had so many glowing lights on him, it was hard not to see him.

If I use a flashlight now, I'll be spotted. Since Yu Miaoren has such good night vision, I might as well let him help me look for it.

"What kind of doll did you find?"

Chishu emerged from behind the tree and walked towards him step by step, holding the Ultraman Tiga doll and the Dark Spark in her hands behind her back.

"who!"

Hearing a voice from behind, Balgi turned around abruptly and saw Chishu's hateful face.

"You despicable human! It's you!"

Recalling how his plan had failed because of this guy and how he had been disliked by the Dark Lord, Balgi was filled with unbearable anger, waving his arms and stomping his feet.

"You despicable traitor! The Ruler will not let you get away with this!"

"What are you saying? Don't slander me. Even if you don't act in good conscience, you should know that you have to bear legal responsibility for what you say. I never said anything about loyalty. I hadn't agreed to anything at the time. You just gave me the Dark Spark and the doll right away."

"To hell with your legal responsibility, I'm an alien!"

After saying that, the Balgi alien gathered dark purple energy in his left hand and condensed it into a dark spark, while his right hand held the corn cob he had just dug up and was about to materialize it.

Chishu had anticipated this, and while speaking, he had already materialized into the size of Tiga and others. Seeing that Balgi was making a move, he stretched out his palm and swiftly struck Balgi with an arrow-shaped beam of light.

"asshole!"

Having taken a solid hit from the beam of light, the Balgi alien was unable to resist, and the spark and puppet in its hands fell to the ground.

Qian Shu stepped forward, condensed his own spark, and after sensing the dark aura within the spark on the ground, drew its power over. Once the dark energy ceased to flow, the spark on the ground dissipated.

Picking up the Red King doll from the ground, Chiki turned to look at Balgi, who was slumped on the ground beside her.

"Tell me everything you know about the Dark Ruler, or else..."

"Would you let me go if I told you?"

"I'll try to think about it."

Energy surged within Dark Tiga's palm, and his milky-white, bulbous eyes exerted immense pressure. Under this powerful aura, Chiki obtained the information he desired. Then, with a swift chop, the Balgi alien screamed and reverted to its puppet form.

The guy causing trouble in the shadows has been dealt with, and I can use this identity to become a spy.

After de-materializing, Chishu picked up the doll, looked up at the night sky, and saw that the moon was covered by clouds blown by a gust of wind, making the already low visibility even darker.

"It's better to go back."

The back mountain is so big, clues will be hard to find. He was quite satisfied with tonight's find. As for finding the monster doll, searching with just a flashlight was too much trouble. Going out to search for things late at night was definitely a bad decision, except for aliens.

…………

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."

"Ah~"

After listening to the alarm clock ringing for ages, Qian Shu stretched in bed, sat up, and slapped the clock beside her, stopping the ringing abruptly. Slowly, she threw back the covers, put on her shoes, and got out of bed. Still a little dazed, her eyes habitually swept over the doorway. Beside the door was a stool. Instantly, a chill ran down her spine, all sleepiness vanished, and her gaze never left that spot.

Knowing that his campus was a hideout of the Dark Rulers, and that aliens frequented the area, he always placed a stool close to his bedroom door every night, with a heavy object on its edge. This way, the sound of the stool legs scraping against the floor combined with the thud of the heavy object hitting the floor would be enough to wake him. Last night, he slept too soundly to hear it, and since the person had moved away, they couldn't put the stool back in its original position; its current position away from the door proves that someone had entered his room last night.

He quickly grabbed his shirt from the bed and reached into his shirt pocket.

The dark sparks are still there...

Then he walked to where the dolls were placed and counted their number.

Red King has disappeared...

…………

At Jiangxing Elementary School, the sun was shining brightly early in the morning. In the school garden, a young student dressed in white was watering the flowers when a dignified woman walked over.

When Hideaki saw that it was Principal Shirai, he stopped what he was doing and greeted her with a smile.

"I picked a lot of these, so I came to deliver some."

Principal Shirai smiled and handed him the basket in her hand, which contained many green cucumbers.

"Haha, I've always been grateful for your help."

Li Tang Xiuzhen accepted it without hesitation, bending down to take it.

At that moment, the group of people from the auditorium, who had packed their things and were leaving, appeared on the side path.

"Grandpa, we're going out."

"Oh, you need to be back before dinner."

"Yes, we're going to Jiangxing Mountain."

"Let's go hiking."

"Let's go."

Meiling, Chigusa, and Kenta waved to each of them. Ichijouji Yuya's expression had also softened. Chiki nodded to Reido Hideaki, who responded with a smile.

After greeting the children, Principal Shirai seemed to be in a good mood. She smoothed a strand of hair that was hanging down by her ear and smiled kindly at Shushin in the auditorium.

"Their relationship is still so good."

"Yes."

"I'm really happy to see this. Here, please take these cucumbers, I'll head back now."

"Of course, please do as you please."

After saying that, Shuzhen smiled, stopped tending to the flowers and plants, and went into the house with the basket of cucumbers that Principal Shirai had just given her.

Seeing him leave, Principal Shirai stopped smiling, turned around and looked in the direction where Hikaru and the others had just left, and slowly walked in that direction.

Inside the school building, Shujin walked back to the Galaxy Shrine, found a broom and rag in the classroom, cleaned it, gently wiped the shrine, changed her clothes, and knelt in front of the shrine.

Facing the red six-pointed star pattern on the altar, the old man in white recited a prayer and bowed three times...
