Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 183 Gathering in Tokyo

Zhi Park Sal Restaurant.

Tendou Souji's gaze followed Natsukawa, who was busy greeting customers, and he didn't even notice his younger sister, Xiaoxu, whispering to him.

"Is there something you need?"

After pouring water for the guests, Kusakabe Kaoru frowned slightly and stared directly at Tendou Souji, who was occupying a seat but not ordering any food.

"Why are you staring at Kagami?"

"Give me a bowl of miso soup."

Tendou Souji's gaze was deep as he continued to observe Natsukawa's every move.

I can't understand it.

Everyone else saw Natsukawa as Kagami Arata and seemed to have no doubts whatsoever.

Where did the real Kagami Arata go?

"The power of dungeons?"

Tendou Souji squinted as he drank water.

He had already remembered some things.

His own world was transformed into a replica, including fragments of his memories that he had entrusted to Xia Chuan.

"Who exactly are you?"

Looking at Natsukawa, who seemed to be just an ordinary person, Tendou Souji couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The duplication of this world seems to have some connection with Xia Chuan, yet it is also Xia Chuan who saves this world and saves the siblings.

There's no need to overthink it.

Natsukawa put down the miso soup, interrupting Tendou Souji's thoughts.

"I am Kagami Arata now."

"You two are not the same kind of people at all."

The Heavenly Path Chieftain raised an eyebrow slightly.

In his eyes, Kagami Arata was very naive and always idealistic. He liked to make silly mistakes, was impatient, kind-hearted but easily fooled, and at the same time, he was a very reassuring guy.

Compared to the mysterious and enigmatic Xia Chuan, who is even less human-like than an alien insect, they are simply incomparable.

"Could you tell me about it?" Tendou Souji asked curiously, "What exactly is going on with the dungeon and you knights?"

"Could it be a real game where life and death are at stake?"

Xia Chuan thought of the circular mirror at the core of the Skynet that he had seen.

He didn't know what those aliens wanted to do.

At first, it was thought that they were all aliens who couldn't escape and were trapped, but now it seems that's not the case.

The start of the Knights Era seems to have another purpose.

Don't worry too much, it will be over soon.

Noticing the probing gaze of Kusakabe Hiru in the kitchen, Natsukawa stopped talking to Tendou Souji.

Based on previous experience, once you successfully complete the dungeon, the dungeon entrance will close.

There are no signs of it reopening yet.

"Is that so?" Tendou Souji stared directly at Natsukawa's back. "If you need any help, just let me know. After all, this is my world."

"Protecting yourselves is enough."

Natsukawa turned his gaze to Kusakabe Hiroshi, who had lowered his head and avoided eye contact after being caught eavesdropping.

The protagonists in the Knights World generally do not have a level 5 limit, making them undoubtedly very helpful allies.

However, this time something is a little different.

Since the Steel Bucket in the new timeline has a backdoor, the Kabuto might also have one.

These insect-control devices were all developed by ZECT in the current timeline. If they have backdoors, they will not only be of no help, but may even make things more difficult.

He did not unleash his extraordinary power after becoming Steel Fighter, also because he considered that his data might be collected by ZECT.

These are aspects that must be guarded against.

Although it's uncertain whether it has anything to do with Fujiwara Daiichi, it's always better to be cautious.

Having already gone through so many "reincarnations," they can't possibly be defeated by other knights from this world.

"What are you talking about?"

While chopping vegetables, Kusakabe Kō asked a question in a seemingly casual manner.

"A dungeon game... what are you hiding from me?"

"Make me some miso soup too."

Xia Chuan's gaze lingered slightly on the girl's slightly emotional expression.

Both siblings seem to have lost their memories.

I heard your voice when I was a child.

Kusakabe Hikaru suddenly stopped what he was doing, pursed his lips, glanced at Natsukawa, and lowered his head, speaking softly.

Were you present at the Shibuya incident 7 years ago?

……

"A level 6 knight? Just like that sir said."

Tokyo Airport.

Masato Mishima adjusted his glasses, slightly grinning as he stared at the passengers pouring out of the plane after it docked.

As Kotaro Minami, dressed in a white jacket, stepped out of the terminal, he glanced at the several men in suits who were watching him from the crowd, and paused slightly when he met Masato Mishima's gaze.

Soon after, several knights from this world, still bearing the marks of their injuries, arrived to pick them up. Upon seeing Kotaro Minami, they immediately waved and called out to him.

"Great! Mr. Kotaro has finally arrived!"

"With Mr. Kotaro here, this dungeon will definitely be no problem!"

In the past, or when we first entered this instance, many people wanted to complete it on their own.

However, reality gave everyone a cold shower.

Besides Natsukawa and Fujiwara Saiji, who are temporarily out of contact, two other knights from this world have been confirmed dead.

8/10.

The remaining members also suffered considerable injuries while besieging and killing Mamiya Reina, especially the several Showa Riders who fought desperately, as their bodies were strengthened after being bound to the Showa Rider system, which is why they did not perish.

Unfortunately, they were unable to retain Reina Mamiya in the end.

According to the latest information, Reina Mamiya may not be the strongest Zerg, but merely the boss's agent on the outside.

"What are you doing...?"

After watching Masato Mishima leave, Kotaro Minami frowned and looked at the Knight from this world who had come to pick him up, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

There seemed to be the scent of alien insects mixed in.

He has encountered quite a few strange insects in the past two days, and he is gradually getting used to them.

Although it's not a monster corresponding to the RX Rider System, the King Stone on the belt still senses it.

"Mr. Kotaro, we have found clues about the Zerg, and now only you can clear this instance!" a young man said solemnly.

Minami Kotaro's expression tightened, and he temporarily set aside his doubts to ask, "Where is Mr. Kaminaga? Could it be that someone had an accident...?"

"Kaminaga is fine," the young man said, his expression slightly grim. "His initial status was much better than ours. Now it seems he has obtained the Knight System of this world, and the Fujiwara family member is with him too."

"We were going to look for them, but we couldn't even see them. They completely ignored us."

"What a selfish guy."

"Just lucky..."

Minami Kotaro breathed a slight sigh of relief, ignoring the complaints of the knights from this world, and headed to Tokyo ahead of everyone else with his bag.

Of all the people in the expedition team, only Xia Chuan left a deep impression on him.

When I come into contact with it, I always feel like I'm facing Ultraman.

From any perspective, he didn't want anything to happen to Xia Chuan.

……

"Um?"

Port area.

As if sensing something, Xia Chuan looked towards the airport, and the familiar figure of Minami Kotaro appeared in his mind.

This person has finally stepped onto the main stage of "Kabuto".

That would certainly attract a lot of attention.

"Buzz!"

The steel-bucket insect device flew out of thin air and flapped its wings repeatedly around Xia Chuan.

They can't speak, but they can still convey simple messages.

After leaving Seika Academy, Natsukawa specifically asked him to follow and protect Fujiwara Saiji, but now it seems that something has happened to him.

"What did that kid do?"

Xia Chuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that Fujiwara Saiji can't bring himself to do it to Mamiya Reina?

Young people are such a hassle.

I'm quite short on word count this month, I'll start catching up tomorrow.
