Ultraman Time Repairman

Behind Jiangxing Mountain.

"Alright, to improve efficiency, let's search in groups."

Auditorium Light proposed to everyone.

"Okay, then I'll team up with Misuzu, Hikaru and Chigusa, Kenta with Tomoya, and Chiki with me."

Taro, standing on his bare shoulders in the auditorium, glanced at the ranks and quickly divided them into groups.

"Ah~~~ Ha"

Qian Shu couldn't help but yawn, which unexpectedly attracted everyone's attention.

"Qian Shu, did you not sleep well last night?"

Chigusa asked with a grin.

"Haha, sorry, I'm fine."

Qian Shu smiled and yawned repeatedly.

I'm so sleepy, I really want to go back to bed and play with my dolls...

"Alright then, let's have a competition to see who finds it first."

After saying that, Meiling grabbed Taro on Xiaoguang's shoulder with one hand and pulled Qianshu aside with the other.

"Then I'll stick with Xiaoguang."

“Let’s go too, Tomoya-san.”

……

"It's up ahead of here."

Hikaru held the constantly flashing Galaxy Spark in one hand. The two looked up at the overgrown hillside in front of them, which looked like a very difficult path to walk.

"Chigusa, you wait here."

"It's okay, I want to go too."

"Wait a minute, I'll go first."

"So narrow, so narrow, so narrow."

"It's caught, it's caught, it hurts! My bag is caught, idiot!"

"Really."

"It's so narrow."

So the two of them crouched down and moved through the bushes. Before they knew it, they had passed through the bushes. Chigusa sat on the ground and brushed the fallen leaves off her head. At this moment, Hikaru had already dug out the doll from the ground next to her.

"found it!"

Then he brushed the dirt off the monster doll and handed it to Chigusa.

"Look, here you go."

Chigusa held the doll and examined it closely. Its shape somewhat resembled an armadillo with many large thorns growing on its back.

"He's covered in so many thorns!"

"Haha, all our efforts were worth it."

"If you get used to it, it's actually quite cute."

"It's only cute if you find it pleasing to the eye."

"Ah."

After saying that, the two took a photo with the doll and sent the photo to Meiling.

"Meiling, your phone is ringing."

Upon hearing Chiki's reminder, Ishidou Misuzu took out her phone from her bag and saw the picture sent by Chigusa.

"It was sent by Chigusa. They said they've found a little spiky monster."

Chishu leaned closer and looked at the two of them posing together.

"Looks like they beat us to it."

"That's not the point. By the way, aren't Meiling and the other two standing a little too close together?"

"Qianshu, don't joke around. Didn't you just say you were sleepy? You don't seem sleepy at all."

"This is Hanzakilan, a giant salamander that lives in a limestone cave. It can spray a scent similar to peppercorn water, which melts its opponents. It is 59 meters tall and weighs 40,000 tons..."

Taro began explaining the science behind monsters.

"Alright, alright, I know you know the most, Taro. By the way, does it really look like a salamander instead of an arhat? After all, I don't have much of an impression of salamanders..."

"I'll introduce you to them another time. Right now, we need to step up our game and not lose to them! Please, Taro the Great God!"

"I have a feeling about the 10 o'clock direction."

"It feels like searching for treasure."

"I feel like I'm taking a stroll and soaking up the sun."

"Hey you two, can't you be a little more tense?"

The two of them and Ao skipped down the hillside when Chishu suddenly heard the sound of leaves coming from somewhere. Walking forward, they indeed saw a white creature bending over, digging something in the ground, and the two of them immediately stopped.

“Ika”.

Upon noticing the person behind him, the Icarus alien jumped and turned around.

"You're an Icarus alien."

“Ika, indeed, we are people of Icarus, and by the orders of our ruler, we cannot hand this over to you.”

As he spoke, he raised the monster doll in his hand.

"This guy is a bit dim-witted, but kind of cute. We wouldn't have known you had a puppet if you hadn't told us."

Chishu laughed, took Taro from Meiling's hand, gestured for her to stand behind him, and held Taro up in front of him.

He wouldn't underestimate his opponent, no matter how foolish this guy might seem.

"Bah!"

"Ika!"

Several laser beams shot over, striking the Ika alien's palm squarely, sending the doll flying. The Ika alien turned its head to see Ichijo Yuya, dressed in black, holding a terminal controller that had transformed into a gun, the muzzle pointed directly at it.

"Ica Ray".

"Tomoya-kun!"

Seeing a white beam of light shoot out from its hand, Misuzu Ishidou exclaimed in alarm.

"Taro!"

"Ultra telekinesis!"

Seeing this, Chishu quickly aimed Taro at it, and the next moment a powerful psychic force not only changed the trajectory of the light, but also sent the Ika alien flying to who-knows-where.

"Phew, that was close."

Seeing that the crisis was over, Misuzu Ishidou finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Speaking of which, that was really dangerous. Thank you so much, Taro."

"It's nothing, protecting you is my responsibility. But Yuya, how did you get here? Did you find anything?"

"Not yet. We only came here because we detected fluctuations, and then we stumbled upon what just happened."

While the two were talking, Kenta went up and picked up the monster doll on the ground and sat down next to Taro.

"This guy looks pretty tough."

"This is King Krab, and those pincers on his face and his tail are quite formidable."

"Let's go together from now on, so that we can look out for each other if we encounter danger again."

Chishu suggested that it was indeed dangerous just now. If it weren't for Taro, he wouldn't have been able to guarantee their safety either, as transforming during battle also takes time.

After saying that, he looked at Ichijouji Yuya.

"Taro's psychic powers cannot be used frequently, so you are the only one who can easily protect your companions right now."

Protect your companions?

Yi Tachibana looked at the people around him and nodded.

"Since you consider me a companion... then let's work together."

…………

"Oh, Yuya and Meiling have met up."

Looking at the four people in the photo on his phone, Hajime turned to Chigusa and said something. Chigusa turned her head and looked over, her eyes drawn to the monster in the middle of the group.

"That monster is disgusting."

"Hey kid, I'll call them. Huh? That's weird, there's no signal."

"then what should we do?"

"There's always a way out. Okay, it seems like there's a reaction over there."

Looking at the shimmering Milky Way sparks in his hand, Hikaru led Chigusa in that direction.

Having found the right spot, Guang shoveled into the auditorium and felt as if he had hit something hard.

"found it."

Reaching out and digging through the soil, I dug out a monster doll and brushed the dirt off it.

"That sounds amazing."

"It seems like this is the last one."

"Let's go and meet up with Meiling and the others."

"Ah."

It seemed their task for the day was complete, so the two tidied up and got up.

"Are you two alright?"

Hearing the sound, the two turned around and saw Meiling alone, but she was behaving strangely.

"Meiling, what are you doing here?"

"Where are Kenta and Tomoya? Where are they?"

"They'll be here in a little while."

Chigusa stared blankly, while Hikaru frowned slightly, looking at the somewhat strange Mirei in front of him. Both of them had some doubt in their eyes.

"Mizu?"

Seeing the unconsciously waving hands in front of her, Mirei Ishidou realized the problem and immediately put her hands behind her back.

"Could you show me the dolls you've collected?"

Their appearance and voice were exactly the same, and since neither of them knew anything about mimicry, they didn't have much suspicion.

"Of course."

"Well, here it is."

Misuzu Ishidou immediately beamed with joy and skipped towards them. However, just as she was eagerly grabbing the doll, Hikaru Arata's Galaxy Spark suddenly lit up, and the flash bounced it aside.

"Ika! Ouch, no, it hurts so much."

After falling to the ground, she quickly sat up, only to find that she had grown two large ears and a large beard on her face.

"Meiling, you?"

Seeing the bewildered looks on their faces, she stroked her beard and quickly turned her head to cover it.

"It's nothing, nothing's wrong..."

The two exchanged a glance, grabbed their schoolbags, and ran. Ishidou Misuzu, now back to her original form, looked up and saw them running away, so she quickly gave chase.

"Ika! You all stop right there!"

……

"Still can't get in touch with Xiaoguang and the others?"

"After all, it's in the mountains, so maybe the signal is just occasionally bad."

"No, even my telepathy is being blocked; it must be due to the fluctuations of these monsters."

The four walked and talked on the relatively flat dirt road. Qian Shu was holding the Dark Spark, watching it closely to see if it would flicker, hoping to find other Spark Dolls.

"Hey, Hikaru! Chigusa!"

Kenta shouted, and the others saw the two running towards them, but the two were being followed by another person, Misuzu Ishidou.
