Chapter 926: with translation of chapter title

No. 49: together? place

Firstly, the point I want to raise is that the Gulite entity exists in this universe; this conclusion was provided by Xintiao Qian, which is none other than the text on the screen before your eyes.

Neihai classmate, please keep your amazement until after the meeting.

Oh—hiss.

Anqi, please maintain at least 30 cm viewing distance from the screen to ensure healthy vision.

What nonsense! I'm a monster!

Please don't treat the monster as an all-purpose shield; my second point is that perhaps some of you have noticed, and the situation of the sleeping-on-firewood-and-tasting-gall monster has also been verified now—they are indeed other Anqis.

Setting aside how to handle it for now, we must first assume a premise: that perhaps your memories are not reliable.

Could it be repeated time?

Constructive guess, Baoduo classmate—does your inspiration come from that time with Hei Qian?

... Well, also... there was once an experience like dreaming, related to Qian's monster.

So, we can try combining the two. Currently, no one has seen the existence of the poisonous smoke monster, but that doesn't necessarily mean our memories are truly reliable—of course, there is also the possibility that those four Anqis didn't alarm anyone else, encountering a surprise attack in human form, etc.; if they didn't come at the same time, each could have been defeated, right? Anqi.

... They probably aren't like me, I don't know.

So, how are they different?

This...

Aomo sir! You must have other special information you want to say, right?

Of course, there are still doubts; Qian, Xintiao Qian has also returned to this world, and she is trying to stop Hei Qian—don't worry, I believe in her confidence; at least she surely has some spare strength for self-preservation, whereas we on this side may need to prepare for some anomalies.

The memory you mentioned, right?

Yes, Yuta classmate, would you like to come and tour the second generation's spaceship?

Huh?

No, all of a sudden, what are you saying?

Baoduo classmate, if you're interested you can also come along, right? Second generation.

Ah, this is indeed possible; I'm quite proud of it!

Then I...

Neihai classmate, just rest and heal; a muscle strain isn't easily healed, and... perhaps you have a friend who traveled with you who might need you to report your safety.

Um...

By then, it'd be best to chat again about recent developments; the other side is really concerned about your condition.

——

Aomo Lindun, let's have a fight.

What?

Clang!

A humming of metal collision resonated from the dark-green warship invisible to ordinary eyes; the friction of blade against blade highlighted sparks, and Aomo, who held his knife in reverse grip before his body, looked at Nait who suddenly attacked, wielding a sharp blade, and he did not hide the helplessness on his face.

What does this mean? Anqi.

A real sword duel? This fancy-handguard sword is none other than your uh... replica sword?

In the Gulite SHOW03 story, Yalikexisi escaped during transport, but was recaptured again by Anqi and Gulite working together; along the way he once received help from Xintiao Qian, and this red longsword, whose shape completely matches the Gulite Holy Sword, is a weapon created by Qian.

At the same time, in this story Anqi made the name 'Gridknight' given by Gulite his formal name, which is why the second generation abbreviates it as 'Nait' / 'Knight'.

Precisely because of this record, Aomo has often paid attention to that strangely shaped long sword behind Nait.

Its existence conflicts with the causal logic of Aomo's acquaintance Qian's situation, prompting him to ponder differences in time or on the world level.

It's REPLIKNIGHTCALIBUR!

Alright, the replica knight's holy sword.

Nait, who can shout this name loudly, makes Aomo feel great awe.

Let's fight; if I win, I'll make you tell me everything!" His blue right eye stared fixedly at Aomo, "What other information are you hiding and not saying?! What's your motive for letting Yuta and Liu Hua board the ship?

Really radical, huh—does your temper get worse as you get older?

He flicked his blade, turned, and created distance; the plain, sheathless long blade turned into flowing silver light, returning to the cuff of his right hand: 'Or perhaps the four failed cases lying before you have made you impatient to the point of desperate measures?'

I'm calling you to answer! Even you, who have that monster eugenics-thinking woman as a companion! What exactly are you scheming?!" His voice sounded even more furious, but actually he did not closely follow the blade swing of the Gulite knight, who spoke coldly.

Before, you were so quiet, I thought you didn't care, but why do you only look at her and not at the other Ultraman warrior?" Aomo shrugged, "Why am I still suspected even though I stand alongside him?

That would only make you seem more suspicious!

Hey! You kid, are you surnamed Uchiha?" Aomo felt somewhat awkward.

Stop spouting nonsense!" Nait brandished his sword, blocking the entrance where Yuta, Liu Hua, and the second generation were about to step in.

If you don't speak now, don't even think about entering!

But if I say I'm just doing this for efficiency, you definitely wouldn't believe me, right?

No, I believe you.

Saying that, he actually put away his longsword: "But you also have to say why you suddenly proposed letting them come aboard the ship—what are you suspecting?"

Simply put, just as Miss Baoduo previously made an inference based on logical inertia, I also have a suspicion based on logical inertia, and I think you should understand that, right?

What do you think...?" Nait blinked, "Is Hibiki Yuta Gulite?

Impossible—I couldn't possibly fail to sense his aura right in front of Gulite!

That's how it's said, but since it's a genuine possibility, trying it costs nothing—why not give it a try?

Aomo said, stepping forward, and as he passed by Nait's side, he patted his shoulder.

Well, although I can see that you guys are severely lacking in a sense of security, I really didn't expect it to be this lacking.

I'm really curious whether this is due to later experiences or the inertia left by the innate creator.

——

You look all suspicious and paranoid, as if you're afraid I'll pull out a celestial control weapon Jetton. Do you have so little faith in your god? Heixi.

Don't be so nervous, we agreed not to attack each other, so let them prove who's better, right?

She narrowed her eyes, smiling incessantly, sat upright before a computer chair she had created on the spot.

Opposite her, the computer that had completely turned its back leaned against the chairback across the desk; the black-haired girl, forcing herself to stay calm, merely propped her elbows on the computer desk behind her, supporting her disgusted face with her fingers.

You're the one who gets all smug over a slight edge; surely you're not putting on this pompous act because you lack confidence inside?

How could it be? I advocate that when life is going well, one should enjoy it fully—I learned that from a friend. What have you learned from your god?

……

You mean that guy doesn't even talk to you?

So, this path really won't work, Heixi—I've been there, you know. Don't you think changing bosses won't make it any different from how it was for me back then?

Your god certainly won't be as messed up as Kailifu.

"Hey hey, Xiaoqi, I'll be hurt!" The Kailifu hanging on the wall was very upset.

Xintiao Qi glanced at Him, then immediately turned her head back.

Indeed, it's generally hard to be more messed up than Kailifu.

Hmph, looks like you also have some facts you're willing to admit.

Um, I have plenty of facts I'm willing to admit, just like I said your choice offers no hope at all.

Did you learn these useless talking points in your world?

No, actually what I learned is that actions are more useful than words! But right now we're supposed to be watching everyone's actions—idle is idle, if you think I'm too noisy, why not take the initiative yourself?

Qi happily clasped her hands, genuinely enthusiastic about this.

For example—how did you meet your god, and how did you decide again to walk my old path?

Always acting like a senior is really disgusting.

Aren't I a senior?

The path I'm taking isn't the same as yours—you'll see soon enough.

Well, I'll be eagerly awaiting, by the way—do you have any video games to play here? She swiveled the computer chair, looking toward another part of the room, and said cheerfully, "The cushions are still the same old ones; haven't you considered getting new ones?"

I have a recommendation! It's a really cool demon-themed model, and everyone says it's great as a gift.

……If you keep making noise, I'll try to get Anqi and them to attack.

……

Just knowing to be quiet is fine.

Oh! This is the first monster model I ever made—it's incredibly accurate!

You!
