Ultraman Time Repairman

"Please, I'm counting on you."

"This is really confusing. I don't know anything about monsters."

"Grandpa Shi Guan, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten a lot."

"Really? I ate a potato."

"That's good."

Ignoring Chishu, the two left while chatting and laughing.

What should we do? Should we keep chasing after them?

Qian Shu stood there, somewhat at a loss.

It seemed that the other party also found him a bit troublesome, and he felt too embarrassed to bother them again.

He had thought that with the captain's introduction, it would be easy to train here, but he didn't expect that the other party was unwilling to teach him at all.

Are we just going back like this?

No!

What if we encounter enemies like Bekira and Kali again in the future?

It would be absurd to give up so easily.

We must seize this opportunity!

Chishu's eyes hardened, and although she felt somewhat apologetic, she quietly followed the two of them.

Fortunately, because they had to accommodate the little boy's walking speed, Shikan didn't walk as fast this time, and Chishu was able to keep up with the two of them. This time, Shikan didn't react to Chishu, who had inexplicably caught up with them, and completely ignored him.

The forest environment is tranquil, and the trees are still lush and green even though it is only early autumn. The sun in the clear sky makes the trees feel warm while also feeling the coolness of the mountains.

Following the two of them, we finally arrived at our destination.

In front of them, against the cliff of a small hill, stood two warehouse-like buildings simply constructed from brownish-gray cloth and wood.

Qian Shu made this guess because there were many neatly arranged piles of firewood next to the warehouse, as well as a lot of timber obtained from felling trees.

The firewood was very dry, and there was a lot of it piled up.

Shi Guan skillfully picked up a pile of firewood and walked to a stove made of stone and earth. After lighting a fire at the bottom of the stove, he stuffed the wood into it one piece at a time.

After doing all this, he found a wooden stool next to the stove, sat down, and reached out to pat the head of the little boy next to him.

"Watch carefully. After the small tree trunks are burned, they will turn into charcoal. Once the charcoal is burned, store it away so you can use it to make a fire in winter."

"That's great."

"What are we having for lunch?"

Suddenly, Qian Shu also put her bottom on the wooden block and pushed the child in a little further, making the three of them sitting together seem a bit cramped.

"Hey, you guy."

The little boy turned his head and glanced at Qian Shu, his expression somewhat displeased.

Are all people from outside the mountains this rude?

"But I'll starve to death if I don't eat."

Qian Shu looked somewhat innocent.

Since you've decided to shamelessly learn a skill, you must persevere.

"You can't just watch me starve to death in these mountains, can you?"

"Hehehe."

Perhaps it was Qian Shu's shamelessness that amused him, for Shi Guan chuckled twice.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to teach the young man; in fact, he had already been teaching him when he helped him catch up with his own walking pace.

"We're having sweet potatoes for lunch today."

Does this mean I've accepted him?

As they spoke, a wisp of smoke rose from the dense forest.

"What's your name, young man?"

"Huh? I didn't call out."

"Name, I mean name."

"Excuse me, my name is Qian Shu."

"Ah."

After saying this, Shi Guan remained silent for a while, then continued to focus intently on the flames burning in the stove, reverting to his previous state of treating him as if he were invisible.

Um?

Gone?

Qian Shu was somewhat puzzled.

Although he hasn't promised to teach me anything yet, at least he's not kicking me out.

He simply sat quietly by the stove, just like the old man, reaching out to feel the warmth from the flames of the burning wood inside.

The three of them were quiet, with only the occasional crackling sound of wood being burned around them.

Senshu felt this comfort, her breathing gradually slowed down, and her body relaxed.

He has always lived a high-intensity life, with training and fighting every day. He hasn't been in this state for a long time.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the quiet and simple wooden house, the shadow of the flames in the stove reflecting on my face brings a sense of dryness, and the clean air is filled with the scent of wood and oxygen.

As the sparks danced in the air, it seemed he had returned to his own world...

Scenes from his time in the countryside flashed before his eyes, and various memories emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, lingering in his mind.

A mix of emotions overwhelmed him, and tears welled up in his eyes without him even realizing it.

If his world hadn't been destroyed, he would probably still have a happy family, a wonderful high school life, carefree every day, and perhaps some friends he'd never part with and a youthful thrill waiting for him...

Now he can only fight desperately, as one wrong move could be fatal. The long scar left on his chest by the Zoruk alien is still throbbing, constantly reminding him that he cannot relax.

Once you die, the world will relive the apocalyptic scene it once was.

"It'll be ready soon."

Shi Guan suddenly started moving, and the sound of him pounding firewood startled Qian Shu, who was still lost in thought.

Qian Shu silently wiped away her tears, pulling herself back from her previous state.

Shi Guan pointed to the stove where the flames were gradually rising, his eyes never leaving it.

"Once the firewood has burned black, the sweet potatoes will naturally be cooked."

…………

Mac headquarters.

Beside the large, brown-red painted desk, Commander Takakura, with a serious expression, listened quietly to Dan Moroboshi's work report standing before him.

Seeing that it was about time, the middle-aged man waved for him to stop, stood up, walked up to him, patted Dan Moroboshi on the shoulder, and then focused his gaze on Dan's cane.

"In short, I feel very reassured with you in Captain Mike's team. I wasn't wrong about you back then; time has proven you to be an excellent captain. However, you should also be mindful of your role and not always be at the forefront. You know, combat personnel are easy to find, but people with leadership skills are rare."

"Yes."

Dan Moroboshi nodded seriously. He was promoted to captain of the First Universe Frontline Force by this officer, and it was because of the officer's trust that he was able to assign tasks to Captain Mike with peace of mind.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this Chief Takakura had connections at the Asian headquarters.

"It's not just me who's excellent, but also all the members of the Space Monster Attack Team. But sir, I feel that the equipment of Team Mike is still outdated for the monsters that appear. Even though our team members are highly skilled, they often find it difficult to deal with the monsters on their own. Although we have the help of Ultraman and aliens, they will leave one day."

"You don't need to worry about that for now. During the intelligence meeting at the MAC Supreme Command, we already started working on this period of frequent intrusions, and developing new weapons is a certainty."

After saying that, Takakura tapped his fingers on the table, his brows furrowing slightly.

"But we are also discussing that alien of unknown origin, the Balgi alien. That guy appeared on Earth as a space invader before the Sett team disbanded, and we don't know what his purpose is in reappearing now."
