Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 585 Dinner Party

Freedom Fortress.

Senior executives gathered again in the conference room, with even the head of headquarters making a special video call.

The disappearance of Mizuhara Sara had a huge impact. Captain Kazukura, who was given an exception to attend the meeting, felt restless and almost breathless.

"Everyone, that's the situation."

The branch leader lightly tapped the table.

"Haiben is still receiving treatment, while Mizuhara Sara has been confirmed to have been taken away by an unknown force, and her current fate is unknown."

"Don't you know the purpose of the unknown forces?"

"We can only wait for Haiben to wake up."

"Then strengthen the protection."

The meeting room was filled with lively discussion, with occasional mentions of Lipia.

Kazukura opened her mouth as if to say something, but found that the "precognizer" Kira Sawa had already agreed to communicate with the visitor.

He himself has absolute faith in the solitary sect.

Komon has indeed changed a lot during this period, but all of it has been for the better. In essence, he is still the same Komon, and he remains an indispensable member of Group A.

Unfortunately, he was a nobody and his voice carried little weight; he had virtually no standing in that meeting room.

The reason he was an exception was simply because he was the former captain of the Konoha team, and Group A just happened to be in the eye of the storm.

It's laughable, really.

Group A seems to have been cursed. First, Koroki Makoto betrayed them, and in doing so, he wiped out the previous generation of Group B. Then, Komon became the Adaptor and was suddenly elevated to the level of the Unknown Hand.

Hiroyuki Misawa, who was added to the list, turned out to be a second-generation Mephistopheles. Fortunately, he was executed quickly, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

"call!"

Hearing the heated argument around him, He Cang shook his head to clear his mind.

Fortunately, the rest of the team members are relatively normal, and Saijo Kazeya has already emerged from the shadow of Mizoroki Shinya.

Shouldn't we re-fill the team this time?

The absence of a position resulted in an incomplete fighter jet formation, affecting every mission.

"That's settled then."

After ending his call with headquarters, the branch's senior leadership surveyed the room with an authoritative gaze, pausing briefly on the distracted He Cang.

"Captain Kazukura, I hope you understand the importance of this meeting. Komon used to be your subordinate; what are your thoughts on that?"

"I……"

He Cang snapped back to reality, momentarily at a loss for words, feeling utterly speechless.

Does his opinion matter?

And what's the point of a group of people arguing here?

If you're so capable, why don't you take action against the Lone Sect?

Holding a meeting here secretly is just because they're afraid.

"I believe in Komon," Kazukura sighed and said. "When faced with difficulties, one should not immediately doubt one's comrades. Besides, Komon was not at the base when the incident occurred, so MP should be able to testify."

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Even Kira Sawa, the one with the foresight, didn't know when he left.

Unlike others, Kira Sawa Yu was always filled with anxiety about the future, thinking more about it than anyone else.

The reason for being willing to communicate deeply with visitors is not to sow discord among the organization's senior management, but to obtain as much information as possible.

"I know my team members, so I trust him," Kazukura stood up and continued, "and please trust me, officers. I don't know the true origins and purpose of Lipia, but I do know that humanity needs the power of the Orphan right now."

South City Amusement Park.

While Natsukawa was still trying to find the whereabouts of Mizuhara Sara, he heard a voice beside him and was slightly moved.

He didn't care much about TLT's reaction.

Although he had obtained technical support from the visitor, the TLT's armed capabilities still posed little threat to him.

He wasn't the kind of giant who cared about human attitudes, because he possessed the memories of being human and understood the human group itself.

However, He Cang's heartfelt trust still moved him somewhat, as if he had returned to his own world.

Even in the most difficult times, the Foughty captain and his teammates trusted him unconditionally.

The lone sect has a good captain.

"Um?"

Komon, who was setting up the barbecue grill, scratched his ear in confusion and looked at Natsukawa's virtual screen with bewilderment.

After a day of trying to solve the alien beast problem without success, the group still organized an outdoor dinner at the enthusiastic invitation of the amusement park owners.

The lawn under the starry night sky was bustling with activity, and even Gu Men, who was originally just waiting to eat, was pulled over to help.

"What's wrong?"

Senju Rei saw the stopped Komon and then turned towards the location of Natsukawa's phantom.

I feel something exists, but I can't see it.

Even with Natsukawa deliberately concealing himself, Senju Rei, who possesses the power of Nexus, was unable to see through him.

"there……"

"Let's get the charcoal fire ready first."

Komon hurriedly grabbed Senju Rei, who wanted to find out more.

He seemed to understand something.

Perhaps it was because he was the only one who could communicate normally with the Titans, and therefore felt more about them than others.

I always felt that Lipia desperately longed for the life of an ordinary human being.

"By the way, Rei," Komon said, setting out the table and chairs, then hesitantly looked at the still suspicious Rei, "if Raphael succeeds, what are your plans?"

"Plans?" Chishu Rei paused for a moment. "I haven't really thought about it. I'm already very content with the life I have now. I could accept dying tomorrow."

"Isn't there anything you regret or feel resentful about?"

Gu Men couldn't help but ask.

He really couldn't understand how Qian Shulian could be chosen by the Light of Nexus if she didn't have any inner conflicts.

There shouldn't be no flaws, unless Senju Rei is lying.

"If I had to say what I regret," Chishu Rei suddenly put down the ingredients and looked up at the starry sky, "it's probably that I can never go back to the world I used to live in. In any case, I don't seem to belong here. Maybe death is a kind of relief."

"How could you think that?" Komon's body suddenly stiffened. "Life isn't something you can just give up so easily!"

"I'm sorry," Chishu Rei was almost startled. Remembering Komon's deceased girlfriend, she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong. "I just..."

"It's nothing."

Gu Men let out a long breath to regain his composure, but swallowed back all the words that were on his mind.

"Whether it's the world of the past or the world of the present, Rei's existence is equally important, and there are many people here who need you."

Senju Rei stared blankly at Komon, then looked at Nonomiya Mizuki and the others who had brought over the tableware.

"Komon always has a lot of valid points to make, but didn't you just ask me what my regrets were? There are no regrets here."

"That's right..."

The conversation between the two men froze.

He had told Chishu Rei about the special medicine Raphael beforehand, but nothing happened.

How can I complete Phase 2?

Returning to the original world? There's simply no way to do that.

With a sigh, Komon stopped talking and focused on preparing for the barbecue.

The moonlight and camping lights created a soft glow.

The amusement park director personally took part in the event.

The golden fat mingled with the aroma of the grilled meat, stimulating the taste buds. Sprinkled with the director's special seasoning, even as Xia Chuan walked away, the sound of people swallowing their saliva could not be ignored.

Even the sound from TLT was almost drowned out.

"It smells so good!"

"Slurp!"

"Let's eat!"

"Please use it, please use it!"

The headmaster simply watched as everyone enjoyed their meal, and after grilling the sausages, he began making fried noodles.

"There are also radishes and fish cakes... no rush."

"Huh? Why aren't you eating, Komon?" Chishu Rei looked at Komon, who had a plate full of food but wasn't eating.

"Uh," Komon's eyes darted around, "when I come across delicious food, I like to try it all by myself first."

"What a strange habit."

"Maybe they're afraid of making a fool of themselves while eating, haha!"

"And there's sauce too," Chishu Rei said without thinking too much, simply starting to diligently serve food to Nonomiya Mizuki. "Mizuki, eat more corn and green peppers, and grilled sausages..."

Komon carefully left the dining table and walked alone towards the pool amidst the laughter of everyone.

Xia Chuan gazed quietly at the starry sky reflected in the ripples of the water, looking somewhat lonely.

"Let's take a rest, Lipia."

He didn't know if giants needed to eat, but Lypia seemed to really like human food.

"It smells really good, why don't we try some?"

"Now is definitely not the time to rest, but..."

Xia Chuan withdrew his senses and glanced at Gu Men.

He is now a spiritual being, lacking taste and smell, but his vision is the same as a normal person's.

"Whoosh!"

A glimmer of light flashed by the edge of the pool.

Senju Rei turned around as if sensing something, and saw "Komon" burying his head in his rice, and felt that something was off.

"Komone is really something, he's not a child anymore."
