Ultraman Time Repairman

Yinhe's figure transformed into countless light particles and completely disappeared, and the surroundings returned to the previous blankness. When Qianshu opened her eyes again, she found herself on the ground.

The green lawn of the playground came into his view, and when he looked up, he saw his classmates walking towards him.

"Great, the school has been saved."

Hikaru, Mirei, Kenta, Chigusa, and even Tomoya and the uncle who were just on the rooftop, all ran down from it. They all smiled as they watched him; they had witnessed the entire battle. They had just been wondering who had summoned Ginga, even though Hikaru was right beside them.

"You bastard!"

Hikaru walked up to him with his long legs, then gently punched him in the chest, a smile playing on his lips.

"Not bad at all."

Chishu smiled and took two steps back, then returned the Galaxy Spark in her right hand to him.

"Thanks to Galaxy, otherwise we would have been in big trouble. And you, Hikaru, make sure you keep the Galaxy Spark safe, or if you lose it again, I'm going to tell Grandpa Xiuzhen."

"I'm sorry, everyone. This time it was my responsibility. I'm sorry, Chishu, for putting you in such a risk."

Hikaru's tone became serious, which made Chiki feel a little uncomfortable, so everyone persuaded Hikaru to stay quiet.

"It's good that everyone is alright. Xiao Guang, we don't blame you at all. The enemy was too cunning, resorting to such a despicable trick as stealing."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Why aren't the host and Principal Shirai here?"

Qian Shu looked around but did not see the two of them.

"Ah, Grandpa and Principal Shirai should still be in the classroom. Since it's a bit far, we ran over here first."

Hikaru replied, then thought of what Chishu had said the night before, his brow furrowed, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Qianshu, you mean..."

"Don't worry, I think the host already knows about this, but he just doesn't want us to know, so as not to ruin the image of Principal Shirai in our hearts."

After all, the bond between the two is quite special, and this can be seen as a form of protection for Principal Shirai. Therefore, the host probably intends to resolve this matter himself and expel the Dark Ruler from Principal Shirai's body.

Then, Chishu looked towards the classroom.

It can only be said that the host was quite capable; although he ultimately failed, his approach was still effective.

“I’m also a little worried about hosting. So, let’s split up. Xiaoguang and I will go back first, and Meiling, you two go find Taro first.”

Qian Shu said that he was too hasty in rushing out. The Spark Dolls he had collected were still in the classroom. Now that Yinhe had given him the Crystal Sparks, those dolls could be used again.

"Okay, I have no objection."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chiki nodded to Hikaru, and then the two turned and ran toward the school classroom.

......

"We were saved by those children again."

In a classroom high up in the teaching building, Hideaki Hajime and Principal Shirai stood by the window, looking out at the battle through the transparent window.

After seeing the monster fall and explode, Chiki landed safely in the light. The host looked on with satisfaction at the group of children who had bravely stood up to protect the school.

At this moment, Principal Shirai's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, though a trace of worry remained in his eyes. Looking at the group of children outside the window, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes behind his red reading glasses as he turned to look at Hideaki in the auditorium behind him.

"Mr. Xiuzhen, I have something to say."

Upon hearing this, Hideaki frowned, sensing what she was about to say, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in private."

......

"Xiao Guang, didn't you say before that there was a strange voice inside you? Has anything strange happened recently?"

In the corridor of the teaching building, Chishu chatted idly with Hikaru in the auditorium as she walked up the stairs.

“Strange things? I don’t think so recently. Maybe it was just my imagination before. Maybe I was under too much mental stress at that time. I plan to see a psychiatrist after this is over.”

The auditorium leader picked up the conversation, then smiled sheepishly.

"That's it."

A hint of unease flickered in Qian Shu's eyes, and she thought to herself, "I hope so."

From beginning to end, he couldn't figure out where the loophole the Great Will was talking about was. The current deviation in the plot seemed more like a butterfly effect brought about by his own appearance.

The only questionable thing is the situation Xiaoguang mentioned earlier...

If there really is an unknown enemy behind him, then he is incredibly patient.

"Mr. Ishido, what are you doing here?"

Hikari, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. Chiki had no choice but to stop as well. After walking around Hikari who was blocking his way, Chiki saw Seiichiro Ishidou, who was wearing a sharp black suit.

But that expression... why is his face as dark as his suit?

"Where's Miss Kuroki? I think she was with you before."

Qian Shu walked forward and carefully examined him.

"She went to the back mountain. She said she'd had enough of this godforsaken place and wanted to escape alone. What a reckless woman."

Seiichiro Ishidou spoke slowly, word by word, his words seemingly devoid of any emotion.

"That won't do! It's too dangerous. We have to find her right away."

Auditorium was somewhat anxious, as the fighting was currently taking place almost entirely in the back mountain.

"Never mind her, Xiaoguang. Don't you know? There are only two kinds of people: the rulers and the ruled. People like her who belong to the latter can only be abandoned."

Hikaru was stunned when he saw Mei-ling's father saying such cold words.

"How could you say that... Your words are a bit too much."

"There's no question of whether it's possible or not. Besides, this is just right, as it saves one person's food rations."

Seiichiro Ishidou remained cold, and Chiki, observing his unusual behavior, began to have some guesses.

"Could it be that the contract negotiations with Ms. Kuroki fell through?"

Since the other party had said such offensive things, Qian Shu no longer cared about anything and spoke calmly, wanting to see his reaction.

Upon hearing what Chiki said, Seiichiro Ishidou's expression darkened, and he glanced at him.

“I wasn’t talking to you; you’re just a subservient person.”

"Ah."

Qian Shu almost laughed, secretly calculating in her mind, and continued, "Have you sided with the Dark Ruler?"

If you admit it, we can save one person's food rations.

Hikaru quietly watched Seiichiro Ishidou's silent face. He, too, noticed the strangeness in Misaki's father and felt that he was completely different from before, so he became suspicious.

Seiichiro Ishidou ignored him again, turned and headed down the stairs, leaving a message for Hikaru Reido before he left.

"I hope you will think carefully about what I have to say. After all, you only need to make one simple choice to get a comfortable result. Look at your situation clearly, Xiaoguang."
