I'm in a Kamen Rider group, and I've joined a tokusatsu chat group.

Chapter 28 Intermediary Megumi: I believe him!

"Kirieloids?"

Inside the command center, the GUTS members, led by Munakata, looked astonished. The monster incident had only been over a few days ago, and now there was another alien incident. What on earth was happening to this planet?
Zongfang's eyes revealed deep worry. Aliens... they are not comparable to monsters. They are aliens with powerful intelligence, and the threat they pose is far more serious.

"But why did those Kirieloids attack Shinjo and Daigo's Victory Flying Swallow No. 1?"

Lina was puzzled. Daigo and Shinjo were just ordinary people, so why would the Kirieloids target them?

If it weren't for Lina's peripheral vision catching sight of Daigo, who had survived an alien attack and returned from the brink of death, yet remained calm as if the plane crash had never happened.

This side of Daigo worries Lina even more.

Daigo is always like this; even when something so significant happens, he always bears it all alone.

Lina lowered her head, unsure of what to do for Daigo.

"Those guys are aliens who have survived for 30 million years. In that era full of giants, they couldn't sway humanity. Now that they're here, they naturally want to do something to demonstrate their power."

"Now that the Earth is becoming more peaceful, those who want to demonstrate their power naturally set their sights on the Victory Team, after all, the Victory Team has a great reputation among the people."

"Moreover, given their behavior, it won't be long before they visit the GUTS base. When Captain Megumi admits that Tiga can protect humanity, those guys will really go crazy."

"Mr. Higashino, is this your superpower? Predicting the future?" Megumi Kijima was silent for a moment, then looked at Higashino Rin and asked slowly.

"Captain Megumi, my precognitive abilities aren't very accurate. I can only see a vague future, and in that future, the Kirieloids will come to the Victory Team base. When you make your choice, Captain Megumi..."

Precognition wouldn't work for him in his current ordinary state, but for Higashino Rin, who is more familiar with the plot, it's possible to disguise himself as a superpowered person with precognition abilities.

If all else fails, I'll flip the table and quit, then pull out the Another Zi-O watch and show it off to you guys.

The command room was eerily quiet.

"Mr. Higashino, why are you so sure that I will acknowledge the identity of that giant named Ultraman Tiga on television media?"

Ultraman Tiga? Is that the name of the giant?

"It's me, Megumi," she murmured.

They also discussed the name of the giant, but couldn't come up with a good one. Ultraman Tiga is a really good name.

“Because,” Higashino Rin’s lips curled up, “I have already grasped the future!”

Daigo, standing to the side, lowered his head, trying hard to suppress his laughter. What a cringeworthy statement.

Daigo, you've got professional training, you can't just laugh like that.

"future?"

Megumi Kijima remained silent. "The future seen by a superhuman?" she asked. "Mr. Higashino, what kind of future is that? A peaceful future, or a future where aliens or monsters frequently appear?"

"A future filled with darkness, but within that future, a ray of light pierced the darkness, giving this planet renewed dawn and hope, and that light was—"

"Ultraman Tiga!"

The Youling gene within her stirred, and in Jujian Hui's mind appeared a figure covered in light, its body hidden in golden light, but its handsome face was unmistakable.

"I understand!"

Megumi nodded. Although she didn't know why the image of Ultraman Tiga appeared in her mind, the golden light brought her warmth, and he was a trustworthy companion.

I believe it needs no reason. (Just kidding!)

"Captain Megumi, I have some things to take care of. Could you please have Captain Daigo take me there?"

Dagu?

Megumi looked puzzled, not understanding why this esper needed Daigo to do it. However, after the Kirieloid incident, Daigo did need to relax; having returned from the brink of death, he would inevitably suffer some psychological trauma. "It just so happens that Daigo has two days off," Megumi said with a smile and nodded.

"Huh? A holiday?"

Daigo was taken aback, looked up, and stared blankly.

Does he have two days off now?
"Let's go, Daigo."

Higashino stood up and looked at Captain Kijima Megumi, "Captain Kijima Megumi, until we meet again."

At the same time, his gaze fell on the time machine beside him.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Megumi touched her chin.

"Captain, isn't it a bit much to just let him take Daigo away like this?"

Zongfang was somewhat worried. They still didn't know Dongye Lin's identity, and he wondered if this was too reckless.

“I believe him, after all,” Ju Jianhui paused, smiled, and then stood up, “Alright, everyone go back and rest.”

"what?"

As Munakata watched the departing Iruma Megumi, his eyes widened in disbelief. Was this really the captain he knew? How had the captain become such an enigma?
Horii smiled. "Ultraman Tiga, that's a pretty good name."

"It's a really nice name, much better than that Giant Mountain Super Powerhouse, Commander, don't you think?" Lina teased, looking at Vice Captain Zongfang.

Zong Fang coughed lightly and glanced at the people in the command room. "Alright, lunch is on me today. Let's go."

"Ah? That's fantastic, Commander!"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the Victory Team's patrol car—the Sherlock—Higashino Rin stretched vigorously. "I'm so tired, I'm at a loss for words."

Those words spoken in the Victory Team's command room were probably what he had thought about the most.

"Lin, thank you."

"Driving the Sherlock sports car," Daigo said softly.

"It's nothing, Daigo. Even without me, people would accept Tiga. I just brought the timeline forward a bit. Besides, we need to prepare for the darkness in advance, don't we?" Higashino Rin shook his head. What he did wasn't anything particularly important.

"Now, it's time to go and meet Mr. Masaki Keigo, this scientist with exceptional wisdom."

Daigo nodded and drove the Sherlock training sports car to Masaki Keigo's apartment.

According to the timeline at this point, Masaki Keigo's company in Kumamoto City had not yet been established. If you wanted to find him, blocking the spring would be the best course of action.

Masaki Keigo's apartment
"Whoosh-"

Masaki Keigo, who was taking a nap, was once again awakened by a nightmare. The all-encompassing darkness continued to devour his mind and body.

Sweat soaked his clothes, and Masaki Keigo clenched his fists. "This dream is coming more and more frequent. Is it telling me that darkness is getting closer?"

He started having this dream when he was in middle school.

Darkness covered the entire planet, and strange birds emerging from the darkness relentlessly destroyed human civilization.

It was from that time that his life began to diverge from that of his peers, and he used his powerful intellect to explore many different fields.

In physics, he is a physicist; in mathematics, he is a mathematics professor; and he also has some involvement in aerospace.
"Mr. Masaki, two members of the GUTS team would like to visit you."

"A member of the Victory Team?"

Masaki Keigo was taken aback. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he being targeted by the GUTS team?
After a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, I understand. Tell them to wait for me in the living room."
