Ultraman Time Repairman

Inside the medical room at Mac headquarters.

"hiss!"

Just as Qian Shu was about to sit up, a tearing pain in his chest forced him to lie back down. The wound was already wrapped in white gauze again and again.

Because the wound was several tens of centimeters long, the gauze was wrapped from his chest all the way to his waist, making him look like a mummy.

Dan Moroboshi, who was standing next to him, heard the noise coming from the hospital bed and put down the deformed Mac baton he was holding.

This ASP tactical telescopic baton, made of space steel and alloys, was cut like this.

"You woke up so quickly?"

"Captain, where are the Zuluk aliens?"

Qian Shu turned to look at him, her voice weak, her chest aching so much that she didn't want to speak.

"They escaped... It's a miracle you survived."

Dan Moroboshi took out the injury report, pointed it at Chiki with one hand, and picked up the deformed police baton with the other.

There is a clear cut at the bend of the stick, where a smooth cross-section can be seen.

“The wound is almost a centimeter deep. The bone is injured in the muscle and the superficial part of the skin. If you had gone any further forward, this baton would have been your last.”

"Isn't it?"

Chishu's mind conjured up the image of pork ribs being sliced ​​by a sharp cleaver, which frightened him so much that he reached out and touched the wound on his chest.

"hiss!"

The already painful wound was stimulated by the touch, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Snapped!"

Seeing him fiddling with the bandages, Dan Moroboshi slapped him lightly on the head.

"Don't touch the wound!"

Having been slapped, Qian Shu immediately became obedient and stopped touching that painful and sensitive area.

It really hurts...

"This is your stuff, right?"

Dan Moroboshi pulled open a drawer from the bedside table and took out a crystal spark and a Balgi doll.

"Ah."

Qian Shu groaned and nodded. Sure enough, groaning could distract you from the pain and relieve it.

Do you think the power of the Balgi aliens is enough to defeat it?

Knowing he didn't want to talk, Dan Moroboshi spoke up immediately before Chiki could answer.

"Because of the serial killings reported in the newspapers, people are afraid to go out at night. If I hadn't happened to be nearby last night, you might be dead by now."

"The one who attacked you is a notorious demon throughout the universe, a Zuluk alien. He is known for his assassinations, thanks to the two transplanted Star Demon Swords in his hands."

"In addition, there is his second attack, which is a remarkable cutting skill. He attracts the opponent's attention with one attack, and then the other attack comes instantly, just like flashing. Even if you block the first attack, you don't know where the second attack will appear. You should know this well if you have fought against it."

"The only way to defeat it is to master the three-stage attack. I've already trained Feng Yuan to practice it, so you should try to heal your injuries as quickly as possible. Although I don't know who hired it to come to Earth, I have a feeling that its next attack might be in a gigantic form."

“I’m worried that you might not be a match for this guy, after all, he’s a demon who’s made a name for himself in the universe.”

"That's it."

Chishu agreed, recalling the previous battle in her mind, and silently pondered.

The captain was worried that Balgi aliens and Leo would be unable to stop Zuluk aliens.

To be honest, Fengyuan is no match for it now.

“I do not rely on the power of the Balgi aliens. The Crystal Spark is the source of my power. Time is frozen for this doll, and it will not change. I have always relied on my own power.”

Qian Shu explained.

He didn't want the captain to think his strength was fixed; he also wanted to become stronger through special training.

As he said, the Crystal Spark is a combination of the power of the galaxy and the power of the human heart. It inherently carries a touch of idealism. Although it cannot unleash its full potential and the expressive power of this idealism has an upper limit, it is indeed linked to the strength of one's power and one's beliefs.

Just as Seiichiro Ishidou used the puppets of the First Generation and Seven to beat up Hikaru's transformed Ginga, Chigusa and Kenta used them and were beaten up by a Zetton.

To be honest, I miss my old friends a little...

"It's certainly a good thing that you have confidence in yourself."

Dan Moroboshi casually agreed, knowing their strength and that both of them still had a long way to go.

"Captain, how long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been about a day. Logically speaking, with just external injuries and blood loss, one shouldn't be unconscious for so long."

Dan Moroboshi looked at the heart rate monitor that was constantly beeping beside him.

"I guess I'm asleep. I only remember having a really long dream. I hope Suzuki, Kotori, and Xiangjun are alright."

"Yes, they're all fine."

"That's good."

Qian Shu nodded, relieved.

They were nearly killed by the enemy, but at least they were saved.

Although they were ultimately saved thanks to the captain...

No problem, he'll definitely have a good fight with that guy when he meets it again after the next special training.

"Now that you're alright, I'll be going now. I should go check on Fengyuan's training progress. Take good care of your injury and don't touch it again."

After saying a few words, Dan Moroboshi turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.

call!

Chishu let out a breath and touched the wound on her chest with some annoyance.

How long until we can start training again?

…………

At the foot of the cliff, a small stream of water flows down from the low mountaintop, forming a tiny waterfall.

The mountain stream, lined with pale purple cherry blossom trees, has shallow water flowing over the rocks at your feet.

Fengyuan's eyes were fixed on the flowing waterfall.

"Aiya!"

Suddenly, he gathered all the strength from his tense muscles into his outstretched hand, and with a fierce aura, he slashed at the flowing waterfall.

The water shattered and splashed everywhere the moment it touched the surface.

My palms got wet as the water flowed down.

The water flow was still not cut off.

Let's do it again!

He had repeated these mechanical movements countless times, and his conversation with the captain before training also came to mind.

"Qian Shu is unconscious? I'll go check on him."

"Don't go! Time is of the essence. The Zuluk aliens' next attack could come at any second. Use this time to quickly train your three-stage attack!"

"Captain, why did you bring me here?"

"Try to cut off the water flow."

"Cut off the water flow? Captain, can the water flow be cut off?"

"You can cut it off! You're the only one who can stop the Zuluk aliens now!"

……

Snapped!

A silver cane suddenly flew from a distance. It wasn't very powerful; it was the kind of thing you could easily dodge, but it was very accurate in its target.

"what."

The sharp spike at the bottom of the cane pierced Feng Yuan's skin without warning, but it didn't penetrate his flesh. The pain immediately brought him back to his senses.

Turning his head to look in the direction from which he had come, he saw Dan Moroboshi staring at him coldly, his eyes filled with a hint of anger and disappointment.

"Focus your attention!"

"Captain, I..."

"Stop making excuses! If the monster comes and you haven't mastered the three-stage attack, you're just going to your death! Do you know how you'll gain training time when the monster arrives?!"

Dan Moroboshi's tone was full of angry reproach, his brows furrowed.

"It was bought with the lives of the Mac team and civilians! Bastards!"

In a fit of rage, he raised his cane in the air and struck Feng Yuan.
