Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Really? Thanks for your hard work. But you're really stupid."

Kazuki Komon, who was about to install the detonator, suddenly stopped.

"You are the one who will be destroyed."

Upon hearing the calm and clear command, Kazuki Komon let out a hoarse voice.

"How is this going?"

"Haven't you discovered it yet? Humans really are..."

Commander Kira Sawa contemptuously asserted:

"Your mission ends here, Kazuki Komon. From the very beginning, TLT was organized to use humanity to eliminate invaders other than ourselves. Because there is no need for anyone other than ourselves to rule this earth."

Kazuki Komon was struck by a thunderbolt of shock. Was the organization he had always believed in and obeyed merely a part of the invaders? Had his relentless fighting, which he had risked his life for until now, only served to aid the aggression?

"Is it you... who are ruling this earth?!"

“That’s right. Furthermore, Kazuki Komon, we cannot tolerate your willful and reckless actions. You know too many secrets. You have already seen things that should not be seen. Please die here.”

"I won't let you succeed!"

Kazuki Komon quickly operated the detonation device.

"I'm going to blow this place up! That way you'll all be..."

"Use a detonation device?"

Kazuki Komon stopped again, his eyes wide, because he saw that the device refused to operate and showed no signs of functioning.

"You are incredibly foolish, Komon Kazuki. Are you trying to strike first? We arranged for a fake detonator for you from the beginning. What you have now is useless junk."

"What......"

"Although you think you're making good progress, you haven't escaped our grasp yet. For us, who control all the information in the world, controlling human actions is a piece of cake. You came here not to kill us, but to be guided by us to the Yellow Springs."

Upon hearing these sarcastic remarks, Kazuki Komon threw down his briefcase and covered his face with his hands.

"Alright, this is the final communication."

The giant monster approached step by step from the other side of the cave, making a clattering sound.

"Komori Komon. You're going to die here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the personal communication terminal was shut down.

The monster let out a piercing howl as it charged at Kazuki Komon, but by now, Komon didn't even have the strength to stand up—

After I learned of the existence of those beings who rule the Earth, I thought I would be fighting them to the very end. I thought I was getting closer to the secrets of this world. I thought that today all of this could come to an end, and I could drive those beings off the Earth.

But that's not the case at all. I thought I was only a step away from those guys, but in reality, I haven't gotten any closer. I'm just a puppet being manipulated by them!

Despair overwhelmed him, and Komon Kazuki suddenly collapsed to his knees, utterly powerless.

It was impossible from the start.

Humans as insignificant as myself have no power to fight against such a terrifying being...

At this moment, the monster's mouth was open, and sticky drool dripped from it. It roared and tried to rush towards the dejected Kazuki Komon...

Just then, the scorching bullet pierced through the monster's writhing body, and bodily fluids gushed out from its body. After twisting like a spinning top, the monster let out a thud and fell down.

At the same time, Komon Kazuki, who was awakened, turned around and looked in the direction from which the bullets had come.

"Liz..."

Not far away, Riko Saida remained motionless, holding her gun, and Kazuki Komon noticed that her eyes were filled with tears.

She was neither strong nor powerful. Yet, at that moment, her petite body stood there with the resolve to face death.

This is to protect loved ones.

"Alright, let's go."

She grabbed the wrist of the man on the ground who was too weak to stand up and helped him to his feet. At the same time, when the monsters saw Riko Saito appear, for some reason, they seemed to shrink back and hurriedly fled back to the hemispherical cave.

"...Where are you going?"

Komon Kazuki asked as he staggered along.

"Go to the ground."

What do we do after we get there?

"Let's escape together."

"Idiot's dream."

Exhausted, Komon Kazuki lowered his head.

"There's no way they can escape."

"No, that's not wishful thinking."

Riko Saida asserted firmly, and upon hearing this, Kazuki Komon raised his head and shouted:

"Why! Didn't you see those guys just now? There are thousands of them lurking underground. On the surface, there are human troops who want us dead; they're just waiting for us to die. We have nowhere to run, so why can't I call that wishful thinking in this situation!"

"You ask why...."

She looked at him frankly and offered her advice.

"That's because of you, who swore to save the world!"

Kazuki Komon suddenly fell silent, while Riko Saida squinted her eyes as if she were about to cry.

"You are my savior."

In the dimly lit cave, only the figures of the two were visible; the larger figure quietly embraced the smaller one tightly.

"I'm sorry, Riko..."

Hearing her lover's apology, Riko Saida sobbed and shook her head.

"Don't apologize, Komon. If you fall, just get up. That's what you've always done... I came here because I trust Komon. And it will be the same from now on."

"Ah."

Kazuki Komon came here because Riko Saida trusted him and was by his side.

He had always believed he was blessed by Lady Luck. Therefore, he thought he had escaped death from numerous crises. But now, he finally understood.

That lucky goddess was Riko Saida.

".....Ha ha."

Suddenly, Kazuki Komon smiled. Riko Saida peeked over to watch his expression.

"What's wrong, Komon?"

"It's nothing. I've figured out why those guys were so scared when you appeared, Riko."

If you think about it carefully, the answer is self-evident.

“Those guys never expected me to bring Riko Saita.”

Those guys probably firmly believed I came alone. They thought it illogical to bring the cumbersome Riko Saito to such a dangerous place, and easily ruled out that possibility.

Human actions can be so easily controlled? What a joke.

Those creatures haven't yet grasped what's called the bond between people. Furthermore, they don't know the immense miracles this profound bond can unleash.

Komon Kazuki swiftly drew his gun, staring intently at the place he was heading.

"Riko, let's go."

"Alright! Let's go, Komon, we'll go together!"

Kazuki Komon gripped Riko Saida's hand tightly, vowing to himself that he would never let go.

"Let those guys see what a human being is."

"Ah."

"Break through the blockade of those people above and escape this place. Then resume the operation to eliminate those guys."

"Then our promise to live together on a street with a sea view will have to be postponed."

Riko Saida gave a smile that seemed to convey a sense of loneliness.

"That's true, but please don't forget. I will realize this dream one day."

Komon Kazuki gazed into her moist eyes for a long time before asking the question again.

"Riko, are you the only one who believed in me and followed me here?"

The dark road was completely silent, and nothing could hinder the two of them.

Riko Saida stared at Kazuki Komon and nodded vigorously.

"it is good."

Trusting only each other, the two began to run, managing to escape the facility. As expected, a large number of security forces awaited them on the ground, and Kazuki Komon pointed his gun at them without hesitation.

I can't die yet. I have to save Riko, and this world!

Amidst the smoke of battle, Kazuki Komon discovered the delicate fragrance of her hair, which saddened him. Unaware that his intense killing intent was unleashing a terrifying aura, even overwhelming some enemies who retreated from the area.
