Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

October 31st, Halloween Eve.

"A strong magnetic field has been detected in the KM209 area. Daigo, you were right. The children's disappearances are caused by a monster!"

Ye Rui, who had been sitting in front of the computer since early morning, patiently checking various abnormal data, finally exclaimed in surprise.

"You actually guessed right, Daigo."

Shinjo stared wide-eyed and patted Daigo on the shoulder incredulously.

That day, Daigo came in carrying a thick stack of missing persons cases from previous Halloweens and said he suspected that a monster was behind it.

Everyone thought he had been provoked by something.

Shinjok even joked that Daigo must have been annoyed by his relative's kids running around.

Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection of the evidence provided by Daigo, it actually seemed to make sense.

When Ye Rui searches using keywords.

When all the missing children were found to have apparently eaten lollipops given to them by an old woman dressed as a witch on that day, things suddenly started to make sense.

Unexpectedly, a strong magnetic field of unknown origin has suddenly appeared, further confirming Daigo's words.

"Now that we've confirmed it might be true, what are we waiting for? Let's set off quickly to find this evil monster."

Lina frowned deeply. There were monsters that specifically targeted children. She couldn't wait to kill them.

"Don't rush, Lina. Although the enemy has only shown the ability to control children through lollipops, we cannot let our guard down during this operation. Let Victory Swallow II go with us."

Just a few days ago, Horii's research yielded results, and the Victory Flying Swallow, equipped with new weapons, should be able to unleash even greater power.

Megumi briefly assigned the tasks.

Rena pilots the Hyuga II to provide support, while Daigo and the others fight on the ground to try and rescue the children.

……

Halloween is such a lively holiday!

As the Victory Team took action, Takahashi also arrived at the scene.

He has hardly encountered any normal monsters in this world.

Even Gazort has mutated.

Last time, when facing Gazort, if he really was carefree, he would have let Daigo go out and explore the world alone.

He can probably eat his fill of food with tears in his eyes now.

As a capable teammate, just in case, he should come over personally to protect him.

The KM209 area is not small, and he didn't know where Daigo and Rena had met Kiranbo, so he just wandered around and tried his luck.

To his surprise, after walking only a few steps and turning a corner, he saw an old witch selling lollipops.

He kept saying that this might be the last time he would come out to play with the children, so he prepared a lot of lollipops.

Each child can receive two free sticks, one to eat and one to give to their best friend.

That appearance, that voice—Takahashi's DNA instantly came alive.

As for Kiranbo saying that this is the last time he'll come out to lie,

Takahashi replied, "I don't believe you for a second."

If I actually believed you, then I could get a lollipop from you too.

Back at the corner, Takahashi quickly edited a message and sent it to Daigo.

The pumpkin house in Kiranbo contains many children whose dreams were consumed in the past. If you kill it now, you won't be able to find the pumpkin house, and the children inside will be unable to be rescued.

As for risking his life to track down Kiranbo and find its safe house... if you want to enjoy the same treatment as Daigo, Takahashi could give it a try.

After handing out lollipops, Kiranbo subconsciously looked around.

Then I saw golden light emanating from the alley not far away.

"Hmm?...It's the One of Light..."

The person illuminated had unknowingly moved so close that Kiranbo was startled.

It seems that it is so caught up in the joy of an imminent harvest that it has become somewhat complacent.

They discovered that the person of light showed no intention of moving, seemingly unaware of their true form.

Kiranbo immediately pushed the cart and started running.

That's all for this year's lollipops.

It won't come next year, nor the year after; from now on, it will say goodbye to these people of light forever.

"Hey, why did you run away?"

When Takahashi saw the old witch pushing her cart and running away at a speed faster than a healthy person could run, he was stunned for a moment and immediately sent a new message to Daigo.

"The plan has changed. The monster has escaped. Go directly to the area with the strongest magnetic field; its spaceship should be parked there. Once you see it, attack immediately!"

After sending the message, Takahashi showed no intention of chasing after them immediately.

Instead, they planned to find a higher floor to climb up and occupy the high ground.

This way, he can see Kiranbo grow to a gigantic size immediately.

"We've found the monster. It's heading towards the area with the strongest magnetic field. Based on its reaction, that's probably where it's hiding the children."

While running, Daigo received another message from Takahashi. He glanced at it and immediately replied.

"Not bad, Daigo, you actually managed to find such a great friend to work with you."

Those who heard the news had no doubts.

When Daigo first received the information, he lied and said that he had a private detective friend who happened to be nearby, and that he had asked him to help investigate the clues about the monster.

Now that they've received new information, they've simply changed direction and continued running.

Lina also piloted Unit 2 ahead of time to fly to the vicinity of the magnetic field and wait.

According to the map, Daigo and his group are closer to their destination, but they cannot run at full speed and must conserve their energy for combat.

Kiranbo fled quickly, fearing that the man of light would catch up with him and cause him to fall before dawn.

Thus, the two groups met at the crossroads leading to the final road.

"Pushing a little cart, running incredibly fast, dressed as an old witch... that's it!"

Daigo recognized Kiranbo at a glance.

"Shoot! Shoot! Don't give it a chance to retaliate!"

Captain Munakata reacted quickly, and after confirming that it was a monster, he drew his gun and fired.

First, I was dazzled by Daigo's dazzling appearance, and then I noticed their various strange costumes, so I thought they were playing some kind of new game.

Kiranbo was momentarily careless and failed to dodge.

As a result, Captain Zongfang was able to hit his target every time, firing several shots in succession, leaving several holes in Kiranbo's body.

Once they realized what was happening, Daigo and his two companions quickly deployed into battle formation. In an instant, artillery fire filled the air, and laser beams practically turned the night into day.

"Enough—!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Kiranbo was jolted awake, and a blast of air knocked the others to the ground.

After glancing warily at Daigo, Kiranbo didn't continue his attack. Instead, he quickened his pace and rushed directly towards the pumpkin house that had suddenly appeared ahead.

As it ran, it blamed itself, wondering why it had gotten the urge to run out and give benefits to the children when it already had a bright future and knew that there were many people of light active on Earth.

That's practically suicide.

We've only been out for a short time, and we've already encountered two people of light!

"Don't even think about running, everyone keep up!"

Daigo rolled over and got up, barely managing to press down his thumb that was resting on the Spark Lens.

Seeing everyone get up, he took the lead and followed closely behind Kiranbo into the pumpkin house.
