Ultraman Time Repairman

The incandescent lights were on brightly in the classroom after dinner.

Chiki sat in her chair, looking around at her companions. Mirei and Chigusa were wiping the table, Hikaru was carrying pots and pans back and forth, Kenta had just left, and Yuya was still at the blackboard, looking down at the control panel in his hand, probably analyzing something.

Chishu stared at the incandescent light above her head and couldn't help but sigh.

They finally decided to open it up this time, even though it's in the middle of nowhere. I wonder whose electricity they're using.

Ah, it's so good to have companions.

Perhaps because he was no longer affected by the Dark Spark, he seemed to have a clearer understanding of the warmth between his companions, and they held a greater place in his heart.

"Qianshu! You're slacking off again!"

A rag was suddenly thrown at his face. After removing the rag, he saw Meiling staring at him angrily.

"That's right! Everyone is working!"

Seeing that Chigusa was also blaming him, Chishu could only laugh awkwardly twice, get up, pick up the rag that had just slipped off his face and fallen to the ground, and put it back on the table.

"Um, Kenta just went out. It's dangerous for him to be out alone so late at night. I'll go check on him."

"Don't even think about sneaking away!"

"No need, he's already back."

Ichijou turned around to look at Chiki, pointed to the classroom door on the side, and the next moment Kenta pushed the door open and entered.

"Jiantai, have you delivered the curry to Xiaopei yet?"

"Well, it's been delivered."

"Alright, you don't need to go now. Just get back to work."

Seeing this, Chishu had no choice but to pick up the rag on the table and start wiping the table with the two girls.

"Meiling's father is different from what I imagined."

Recalling what happened during the day, Hikaru turned to Meiling beside him and said.

"is it?"

"Is it because the company has grown bigger, so you're busy every day and things have changed a lot?"

"Mom's pastry shop is still the same as before."

Meiling stopped what she was doing, seemingly recalling something. Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Ichijou also stopped what he had been doing, walked over to the group, and changed the subject.

“I also know that the school was sold. Principal Shirai went to my father to seek financial assistance.”

"But I've never heard of any of it."

Yuya's words not only didn't change the subject, but also made Meiling think of something else, and her tone became somewhat downcast.

Everyone stopped and stared at her, unsure of what to say.

Chishu was wiping the table with her head down, but she had also overheard something.

It seems that Meiling's family lacks companionship.

"Hey, why are you all standing still? I can't wipe this table by myself!"

Qian Shu's words, filled with resentment, immediately broke the atmosphere. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Do you guys remember that uncle who followed me around dinner? Xiao Pei seems to know him. He should be with Xiao Pei now. I think it’s necessary for us to go and see him and find out who he is.”

Chiki's words drew everyone's attention, and Ishidou Misuzu stopped thinking about it; Chiki's words had successfully made her worried.

"Yes, that uncle's behavior today was indeed a bit strange."

"Then let's go see Xiao Pei later."

…………

"Da Li Gang was once a professional boxing champion. Gang and I were good friends in elementary school and always played together. We often talked about the future."

Influenced by a popular TV series at the time, I dreamed of becoming a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department, while he wanted to be a professional boxing champion.

As you can see, I'm now just a patrolman... haha.

All six of them brought out stools and sat down next to Xiao Pei, listening with smiles as he told stories from the past.

Everyone listened quietly with smiles as Xiao Pei happily recounted her past.

So Xiao Pei continued speaking.

"But A-Gang successfully realized his dream."

Hearing the beautiful ending to their dreams, the eyes of this group of young people, who also harbored dreams, seemed to become even more vibrant—excited, earnest, and happy…

Chishu seemed to be enjoying this feeling, and her heart was warm.

Everyone listened quietly, immersed in the beautiful atmosphere. They didn't speak, but they could empathize with each other's emotions. At this moment, it seemed as if there was a connection in their hearts.

Seeing that Xiaopei had finished speaking, Qiancao said with emotion, "Everyone is working hard towards their dreams."

"What a wonderful goal."

Suddenly, a man with a stubble-covered mouth broke the atmosphere with a slightly unfriendly tone.

"Stop talking about it."

"Ok?"

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and a man walked out from behind the white curtain behind Xiao Pei. It was an uncle wearing a black sports uniform.

He put his hands in his pockets, nodded as if he had something to say, and then said in a tone of someone who had been through it all: "Dreams are just something that looks good. Even if they come true, problems will follow one after another."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Pei sitting in front of him.

"You know how miserable my life has been."

“Ah Gang…”

"After winning the championship, the media quickly discovered his gambling activities, and he had to retire."

When he spoke of his sad story, the uncle spread his hands out in front of him.

"What you are standing in front of you now is a stray dog."

"how come……"

"Knowing this, Peiqi kept comforting me, which made me look even more pathetic."

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

The uncle's words made the atmosphere somber. Seeing Xiao Pei also stand up and apologize with her head down, Hayao Mitsuko felt uncomfortable and decided to stand up and refute him.

"But as long as we don't give up, our dreams will never end, and I firmly believe that."

"Ha, that kind of thing is just something you talk about when you're young."

"But didn't you also successfully realize your dream? Why should you vent your resentment on young people who still have dreams because of the troubles you brought upon yourself due to your bad behavior?"

Seeing everyone's expressions begin to change, Chishu couldn't help but speak up in rebuttal, the pleasant atmosphere ruined by this guy.

"young people……"

"Don't presume to be experienced and lecture us as a senior. We will walk our own path properly. As a loser who only knows how to hang his head in dejection, what do you think you have to teach us?"

"You boy!"

The uncle's fist had already clenched when he spoke the first sentence, and now he could no longer hold back. A surge of anger rose in his heart, and he walked a few steps to Qian Shu.

As a former professional boxing champion, he usually retaliates when provoked.

"Agang!"

"Don't worry, even when I'm angry, I have to stay calm and rational. That's my professional quality. I won't do anything to this kid."

Dali Gang said nothing more, lowered his head and walked out of the classroom.

Seeing him leave, Chishu took out Taro from her pocket and placed it on the table in the middle.

"Everyone, please be careful not to let negative emotions affect you. Kenta, Chigusa, think about how you were seduced by the Dark Agent in the first place?"

Chishu looked at everyone seriously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that their expressions were still relatively stable. It seemed that they hadn't been affected by what the uncle had said earlier.

Sometimes a single sentence can shape a person's values, which is very important.

That's why he argued back with the older man even though it might anger him; otherwise, he'd just be asking for a beating.

Having lost the Dark Spark, I can only hope that nothing else goes wrong.

"Next, I have something very important to say."

"Could it be related to your disappearance all afternoon?"

"Taro said."

"Yes, that's right. When Dark Garuberos arrived, I rushed up the school building to save Principal Shirai, but I discovered an astonishing secret."

"What secret?"

"Our opponents are the new agents of darkness, the Nackle aliens. And Principal Shirai is the Dark Ruler they refer to."

"what!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone was filled with surprise, and Hikaru was the first to jump out and object.

"That's impossible. Principal Shirai is such a gentle and kind person, how could she be a Dark Ruler? And if she were a Dark Ruler, why doesn't Galaxy Spark react whenever she's around her?"

"Exactly, exactly, Qian Shu Sang, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? After all, the building was very dark at the time."

"Ugh."

Chishu sighed, pulled the Dark Zagi doll out of his clothes, and slammed it on the table, startling Taro who was standing next to him.

"To be honest, I sneaked into the principal's office and stole this character, but I was immediately punished. The Dark Ruler discovered me and took back my Dark Spark. In other words, I no longer have the ability to transform."

"This……"

"The Dark Zagi doll in the principal's office also has the ability to recycle sparks. If Principal Shirai isn't the Dark Ruler, then who is? Am I? And let me correct one point: Principal Shirai is Principal Shirai. The Dark Ruler is just possessing Teacher Shirai. As for the Galaxy Spark not reacting, I think Galaxy probably doesn't know either."
