Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 61 Otaku Mentor

"Whoosh!"

The Green Knight's body went limp and he knelt on the ground, panting. In a daze, he deactivated his transformation, revealing the figure of a young man.

"Who was that knight? Why did he save me? I..."

"call!"

"Human warrior, go to the Knight School. You'll find the answers you're looking for there." The Rose Woman emerged from the shadows, watching Golem walk away.

"Who?"

The young man turned around in shock and stared directly at the woman in roses, then stood up unsteadily to be on guard.

"Who...who are you?!"

Rose glanced at the young man, made no further response, and turned away with a cold expression, disappearing into the alley.

Kuuga, who should have fallen into darkness, became a guardian-like being, but the world automatically headed towards the brink of destruction.

"Humans are indeed becoming more and more interesting. Perhaps one day, humans will destroy the world themselves."

"call!"

Near the Knights School.

After landing, Natsukawa dispelled his transformation and was preparing to return to the base when he suddenly noticed that the golem was still hovering above him and had not left.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Chuan looked up at Golem, as if he could sense Golem's disappointment.

It seems this summoning will be the last one.

"Are you still Kuuga?" a bewildered little girl's voice rang out.

"I'm sorry, I've never been Kuu-I."

Xia Chuan recalled something with a look on his face.

Golem was a piece of equipment specially crafted for Kuuga by many people, and it has helped him a lot during this period.

However, this thing doesn't actually belong to him.

He was merely using the power of Kuuga; he never intended to become Kuuga.

Kamen Rider was merely a means for him to embark on the path of evolution.

"Go," Natsukawa took a step back. "There is a true Kuuga in this world. Although he is still growing, he will definitely become a qualified warrior in the future."

"Buzz!"

Golem lowered its altitude, approached to observe the Kuuga card in Natsukawa's hand for a while, and turned to fly away, but suddenly shrank its body and transformed into a beam of light, landing in Natsukawa's hand.

"Clang!"

Xia Chuan clenched his fingers, looking at the Golem card in his hand with a complicated expression, and suddenly felt a little heavy.

"Are you going to stay?"

He was starting to lose track of whether golems were equipment or life forms.

"Then let's continue to cooperate. Although I am not Kuuga, I will still protect humanity."

……

Knight School.

Mizusawa Yu stood with her head down in front of Tamura, seemingly unaccustomed to the gaze of outsiders, appearing timid and hesitant.

"You said a strange woman sent you here?" Tamura asked, frowning in confirmation.

"Yes."

Mizusawa Yu's voice was weak.

"Suddenly it turned into a pile of rose petals and disappeared. Oh, and there's a rose mark on its forehead..."

"Gurongi? I didn't expect there to be active individuals among them."

Tamura thought for a moment, then crossed his fingers and said to Mizusawa.

"There's no problem with enrolling. The original purpose of this place was to train new knights. I've already learned about your situation from Hiroko. However, the Kuuga from Class A is not the Kuuga who saved you, and the Class A instructor... might be a little strange."

"Strange?" Mizusawa Yu looked up curiously.

"I just prefer independent teaching methods and I'm a bit of a homebody."

Tamura's expression was subtle.

While it might seem like Xia Chuan was slacking off, the A-class students had actually done quite well in their training. They not only joined the patrol team ahead of schedule, but each of them performed exceptionally well, with several even surpassing some of their senior knights.

However, it seems inappropriate to say that Xia Chuan teaches diligently.

"Can I see my mentor?" Mizusawa Yu asked tentatively.

"Uh, it might not be convenient right now." Tamura thought of what he had seen with his own eyes.

Hiroko is living with Kaminaga now; it's best not to disturb them.

"Really?" Mizusawa Yu lowered her head in disappointment.

Can this knight school really provide the so-called answers?

He desperately wanted to know what to do with his future, and whether he was human or a monster.

outside the office.

Watanabe, who happened to be there to discuss something with Tamura, changed his expression.

He didn't care about the new classmate, but judging from the description on the other side, the strange attacker was likely a rat-shaped blood demon.

Just as my father said, other fangbloods will appear in this world sooner or later, including the legendary fangblood king.

Only he can save the world then.

"It's finally here, but Father, I have no power to save the world."

Du struggled as he left the office area.

Now, he doesn't even dare to let others know his identity.

Villa area.

To prepare for the next time travel, Natsukawa stayed in her dormitory for two consecutive days to rest and recuperate, while Asami Hiroko had been running around outside ever since she moved in, wearing out two pairs of high heels in the process.

"Damn it, which bastard invented high heels?"

Hiroko Asami collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily and complaining angrily. She only sat up abruptly when she saw Natsukawa open the door upstairs.

"Actually, you don't need to wear high heels at all." Xia Chuan said as she walked downstairs, munching on her bread.

"I don't want to either," Hiroko Asami said with a half-second of stubbornness, but then sighed helplessly. "There are rules that I can only wear high heels at home, in the car... Ah, never mind that, Kaminaga, are you really not planning to go out?"

"I wanted to try the shuttle again, so I took two more days off."

"It must be so pitiful to be your student," Hiroko Asami said sympathetically.

"It's alright, I've already taught them what I needed to teach them."

Xia Chuan didn't pay too much attention to it.

After filling his stomach slightly, he informed Asami Hiroko.

"The shuttle has cooled down. I don't know what the outcome will be this time. We must eliminate all interference and go all out. Don't knock on the door again. I'll turn off my phone."

Hiroko Asami stared blankly as Natsukawa returned to his room.

"Explaining so much... it sounds like I'm making excuses."

With a slight pout, Hiroko Asami looked at Natsukawa's door again with a worried expression.

She couldn't be of much help either.

All we can do is keep the secret as much as possible, while also providing some cover to prevent outsiders from becoming suspicious.

"come on."

"Whoosh!"

bedroom.

Xia Chuan drew the curtains, and after confirming that there were no problems, she restarted the shuttle.

The same scene as last time was reproduced, except this time only the "Kiva" instance appeared in Xia Chuan's consciousness.

"Wake up! Break free from the chains of fate!!"

"call!"

With a powerful suction, Xia Chuan felt his body lighten, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in front of a cliffside coastline.

"here it is……"

As Xia Chuan looked around in the moist sea breeze, two cross-shaped tombstones near the sea came into view first.

"Akane Aso, 1942-1984..."

As his gaze swept over one of the tombstone plaques, Xia Chuan stopped in front of the second tombstone.

Yuri Aso, 1966-1988.

"Kaminaga?"

The island guard, dressed in a suit and tie, climbed up the hillside, saw Natsukawa's back, and the bouquet in his hand slipped from his grasp.

"You...you're still alive?!"

Xia Chuan turned to face the island protector.

Contrary to my impression, although his face remained serious, his temperament had changed significantly, and he had a lot more gray hair.

Is this the 2008 timeline?

A little...

"It really is you, Kaminari!"

After his initial surprise, the island guard rushed forward.

"What exactly happened? Didn't you already... back then?"

"It's a long story. What year is it now?" Natsukawa asked, looking at Aso Yuri's tombstone.

I can't quite describe how I feel, considering we've only spent two days together.

But it's impossible not to feel sad.

The power of time is truly terrifying.

"2008, ah, 22 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

The island guard picked up the bouquet and placed it in front of the tombstone with a sigh.

"After your accident, Yuri was like a different person. She sacrificed herself in less than two years. Tsuyoshi and Otoya... On the contrary, I'm the one who's still alive."

"It really was 2008."

Xia Chuan frowned slightly.

The shuttle node is not at a fixed time.

"Where is Yuri's daughter?"

"What daughter?" Shima-no-Masaru shook his head in confusion. "Yuri has always felt guilty, thinking that she is the one who harmed you, and she insisted on fighting until her death... To be honest, it was all my fault."
