Chapter 924: NO. 47: Turning Point

NO. 47: Turning Point

"Let's discuss this, Black Akane has four Mr. Anqis over there, what should we do if they attack again?"

"Strictly speaking, it's three and a half?" The black-haired, blue-eyed girl raised her hand.

As the provider of the current venue, a member of the Ultraman Alliance, and a friend of the two victims of the previous disaster, her appearance was justified.

She is Baoduo Liuhua, speaking with astonishing receptivity to an empty clearing.

Meanwhile, her mother frowned beside her, staring at the clearing where a male voice came from.

On her other side, a red-haired boy also raised his thin arm: "Yeah, yeah, there's an Anqi-kun who seemed to be beaten by... uh, not, Mr. Lindon gave him a good scolding."

"Just call me Aomo, Mr. Xiang, I've long heard of your reputation."

"Um... you can call me Yuta too, Mr. something..." The red-haired boy scratched his head embarrassedly, simple as he couldn't accept the "Mr." prefix, "I'm only a first-year, and besides, I've long heard of your reputation... does Neihai often mention me?"

"Actually, Ultraman is quite renowned in my place, and also... I haven't told you yet, I am Akane's friend."

"Eh? That new Akane?!"

"Really? Akane's friend? Out there?"

Even the usually laid-back Liùhuā widened her eyes, making Aomo feel a bit amused.

"Of course, when she's here she only has all of you as friends."

This made Liùhuā glance at the clueless Yuta, then at Neihai lounging on the sofa nearby, a little embarrassed: "... Actually, it wasn't really like that at first."

"I understand."

"And on my side... sorry," the red-haired boy lowered his head somewhat awkwardly, "I actually don't remember those things."

"Ah... I see, I understand, Neihai-kun should also have no memory when he wakes up later."

"Eh?"

"So congratulations to the two of you for gaining a new shared topic."

"You talk like that!" Nate jumped up instantly, and his words instead made Liùhuā look at him in surprise.

Yesterday, the suddenly grown Anqi-kun and the second generation visited and stayed over, still marveling at how fast Anqi-kun had grown (?), the change was huge, but that poker face and personality remained the same as ever.

Today I saw that he could actually have such intense emotional swings.

Are these two 'people' on bad terms?

Clearly they had fought side by side before, seeming very in sync...

"Don't get so excited, Anqi-kun, it's bad for your blood pressure."

"I am a monster!"

"Monsters also have blood pressure, all sentient beings have blood pressure."

"Exactly, Nate, you can't neglect your health just because you're a monster!" the second generation said concernedly from the side.

"Are you on his side?!" Nate covered his head, feeling a bit suffocated.

"She's definitely on your side, where did this 'this side, that side' come from, you're too focused on factions, what kind of society is the Ultraman Knight Alliance?"

"Right, right! Mr. Aomo is correct, Nate, you're too——"

"Enough!" Nate, one hand on his forehead and the other pounding the table, drew Mama-san's worried gaze at the tabletop.

"The topic is drifting further and further! We clearly should be racing against time to discuss countermeasures! Do you guys know how serious this is!"

"Alright, please speak." Aomo placed his hand out properly.

But unfortunately, only the two monsters could see it.

Clearly he could initially be seen by Mama-san, even support her, but now he has truly returned to the state of being rejected by the entire dimension.

At least here everyone can still hear his voice.

Perhaps returning once to the junk computer could improve things, but thinking about the old six lurking inside makes this tricky.

It's been almost a night and even close to a morning, why haven't Sai Luo and the others come to reinforce yet? Aomo feels it should be about time.

Meanwhile, Nate finally calmed down and spoke.

"First of all, those three..."

Then he got stuck.

"Training-through-hardship monsters." Seeing him struggle with the name, Aomo aptly interjected.

"Those three training-through-hardship monsters all fire missiles and can fly; this level of imitation is almost Ultraman Knight transformation, they... probably aren't monsters created by Akane."

For the two high schoolers, this sounded like a riddle, and the mature woman who wasn't really interested in this conversation had already gone off to make tea.

Fortunately, there's still an adult here.

"In other words, are the Anqis from other universes like that?" Having had a similar guess, upon hearing Nate mention it, Aomo felt it was indeed so, yet still expressed his understanding on the surface: "In other words, this world actually already had other investigators before, only they..."

"Were defeated and turned back into monsters." The second generation put on a serious face and interjected.

This made Liùhuā a bit uncomfortable; in her memory, this 'older sister' was still a lively kid yesterday.

"And they seem to have lost the ability to think, remaining quiet from start to finish," Aomo said, rubbing his nose bridge, turning to look at Yuta who was oblivious to the gaze, "They've come to see Anqi-kun several times, has Ultraman never come to this world?"

"Eh?"

Instantly becoming the focus of several gazes, Yuta felt at a loss.

"No, Yuta has no past memories, and I haven't seen Ultraman return either; anyway, all this has only been a few months..."

"Indeed, with this timeframe, you two should be preparing for an upgrade?"

In the bleak autumn season, first-years should also be preparing for winter break, then it's time to reassign classes for second-years.

Class reassignment is a sad topic, especially for lovesick boys, parting from their crushes is utterly heartbreaking, but for Yuta, he currently has a more practical worry.

"Well, I'm fine, but Yuta... his exams are tough."

Liùhuā sympathistically glanced at the classmate who unconsciously twitched due to this topic.

"During the time Ultraman possessed him, he had no memory, and I and Neihai have been giving him extra tutoring in our spare time."

"Ugh..." The boy who couldn't refute, the whole thing is evidence of Gulite.

In the most intuitive way, it shows how the super agent destroys children's lives.

He doesn't even help others finish their exams!

"Is the topic going off track again?"

The aloof Gulite knight, completely indifferent to Gulite's crimes, is essentially an accomplice: "Right now we're facing four..."

"The sleeping on firewood and tasting gall monster." Aomo interface.

"Facing four 'sleeping on firewood and tasting gall' monsters!" The overly awkward name will increase the cost for monsters learning human language; fortunately, the Gulite knight has always been skilled at imitation: "Last time they were careless! But this time they will definitely go all out, possibly even being controlled by Heixie to wreak havoc indiscriminately!"

"Is it really her...?" Rokuka still doesn't believe that the Xie from that world would do such a thing.

The Xie who chose to live again in that world entrusted her to smile and bid farewell to the true new Xie; how could she do such a thing?

"... Rokuka."

"At least what I saw was definitely a black-haired Xie, though I can't rule out the possibility that it's an Xie from another world... huh?"

The informant Aomo, who had read the novel, wasn't surprised by her feeling, but was still wondering why Zero hadn't arrived yet when suddenly heard someone's groaning from stretching.

Turning his head, he saw Uchida lying stiff on the old sofa like a salted fish, and in the next second let out a miserable cry.

Ahhhh, full of vigor, also accompanied by the cries of small fry.

"Help, save me! I can't move! Why does my whole body hurt!"

At that same moment, someone poked their head out of the convenience store entrance: "How come there's this kind of noise as soon as you arrived?"

"Iga Chestnut Person" and the raccoon dog arrived at the agreed meeting point at just the right time, also making Uchida's voice even louder.

"Zero's voice! Rei, Rei-san?!!"

"It's so noisy..." Rokuka, who was initially a bit concerned, now doesn't even want to go over there.

"Uchida! Your voice is too loud!"

"Do you guys even want to hold a strategy meeting?!"

"Nate, calm down, calm down."

"You've finally arrived, Zero..." Aomo, who was greeting, reached out and lightly patted the little head of the new universe that seemed unnoticed by anyone; just as he was about to say something, the light screen that should have had no signal at all suddenly lit up.

At the same time, more and more messages came in one after another, and three young people stared in shock.

"Oh my, there are so many more people..."

The Mama-san carrying a tray with several cups of tea was somewhat surprised, and upon seeing the youth fiddling with the mid-air light screen with his fingers, she was even more astonished.

"It appeared again, ah, a foreigner ghost."
