Ultraman Time Repairman

Chapter 45 Before the Storm

Chiki's vigilance reached its peak at this moment. Fortunately, Lugiel's appearance did not last long. During Principal Shirai's violent struggle once again, as a huge cloud of purplish-black mist dissipated, the dark spark she was holding also disappeared.

"call……"

After the ceremony, the host was exhausted and sat down on the ground, just as weary as Principal Shirai.

Principal Shirai also examined his arm closely; the terrifying purple skin from before was gone.

"Is it over?"

Hikaru murmured softly, unable to believe the battle was over. But looking at Principal Shirai who had recovered, a hint of surprise appeared on his face; perhaps they really had won.

"Yes, the dark sparks have all dissipated, so it should be over."

The host slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and chuckled as he pulled up Principal Shirai, "Ms. Shirai, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Principal Shirai shook her head, not particularly happy. Although the culprit had been punished, she still felt guilty towards the children.

The host noticed this and could only gently pat Shirai-sensei on the shoulder to offer comfort.

Is it really over?

Chishu looked at the two people in front of her, her unease still lingering.

Lugiel certainly can't be eliminated so easily...

"Hey! Look! The barrier has disappeared!"

"It really...it really disappeared! We can get out now!"

Suddenly, cheers came from outside the classroom door from Yumi Kuroki and the others. Chiki pushed open the door and went out, and sure enough, she saw a thin barrier slowly disappearing on the horizon.

"Let's go down quickly!"

After the cheers of those who had survived the ordeal, the people outside rushed downstairs.

"That's fantastic, we won!"

Hikaru's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly hugged Chiki beside him, "Come on, let's go down and see everyone."

Chiki sighed helplessly, looked around, and saw the host nod to him. He then helped Mr. Shirai up and said, "Let's go down too."

Downstairs, everyone had gathered together, looking at the clear sky with excited expressions on their faces.

Under the sunlight, Seiichiro Ishidou, dressed in a black suit, walked towards them, looking somewhat awkwardly at his daughter standing in front of him.

Meiling was stunned for a moment. She had been worried about her father's safety just moments before, but now she couldn't say anything.

After a long silence, Seiichiro Ishidou finally looked at his daughter and said sincerely, "I'm sorry. I don't know when it started, but I began to value my work more than you. As a result, things got out of control."

After hearing his words, it was as if all her worries vanished in that instant, and she burst out laughing.

"But Dad fought alongside me too. He fought incredibly hard to protect me."

Seeing that he had finally received his daughter's forgiveness, Seiichiro Ishidou stepped forward and hugged her tightly. The long-standing estrangement between father and daughter melted away at that moment.

This heartwarming scene was watched silently by Hikari, Chigusa, and the others, their lips curving into smiles.

Suddenly, as if hearing a noise, Hikaru turned his head and pointed to the school gate in the distance.

"Look!"

A steady stream of people was pouring in, and without exception, they were all heading towards Principal Shirai.

"Great! The barrier has indeed opened!"

Seeing that people could come in from outside, Kenta happily pumped his fist.

All sorts of people walked toward them, some dressed in clothes from different professions, and many of the men and women were familiar faces to Xiao Guang and his friends, but most were strangers.

"These people who have gathered here, who are they...?"

"They are all graduates of this school."

The host behind him took over his words and slowly walked towards them with Principal Shirai beside him.

"Right, Shirai-sensei?"

A gentle breeze stirred Shirai-sensei's white-streaked hair. She nodded, adjusted her glasses, and carefully observed the people before her.

These are all her former students. Although more than a decade has passed, they still live in this small town, so they can still meet from time to time.

Upon meeting them again and learning the truth, she felt a mix of emotions as she faced the group of students.

"But why?"

“The school suddenly disappeared overnight. We were all very worried and just called the police, but it seems that everyone is okay now.”

The speaker was a woman wearing an apron, and behind her, people in various professional attire nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, you are all... so considerate of the school."

"The cell phone has a signal!"

Chigusa opened it with delight, and the signal bars that had been empty for a long time returned to normal. She then asked Kenta, who was next to her, to take a look.

"Really? There's a signal now."

"I'm so glad you're all alright."

"You are not?"

The auditorium staff watched as two familiar faces walked toward them.

It's those two people who illegally abandoned it before.

However, they now bear the mark of volunteers.

"We are volunteers here now, mainly responsible for handling the garbage in this area."

"Haha, your senior once said when he was a kid that he wanted to be a botanist and make this town full of flowers."

"And me, I'm here to apologize to you."

Behind the two, a man in a black leather jacket walked over. He still had the marks of a nose ring on his face, but they were gone now.

"I'm that petty thug who used to ride the motorcycle. I've turned over a new leaf and I've come here to ask for your forgiveness. I'll never live like that again. I plan to ride my motorcycle around the world to let you know."

"And I."

Yuka-senpai, who had appeared earlier, also emerged from the crowd.

"I planned to stay in the town to study hard, and then go outside the town to become a fashion designer. When I found out the school was gone, I rushed over here."

"Will I really stay here now?"

Kenta was overjoyed to hear this and suddenly came over.

Looking at the crowd, Dali smiled and then lowered his head, putting his hand on Xiaopei's shoulder.

"In my freshman year, I really shouldn't have gotten involved in gambling."

"it does not matter."

Xiao Pei smiled憨厚ly and patted him.

"I understand how Gang feels. Cheer up and keep going, Mighty Gang the boxer!"

After saying that, he raised both palms, and Dali smiled knowingly, then swung his arm and lightly punched him, just like he used to do in training.

"Kuwabara, I think we should perhaps reconsider this school."

"Should we keep the school and proceed with the original plan of preserving it?"

"Everyone is very happy."

The auditorium was filled with the sight of this blissful grin.
