Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 62 The First Generation of IXA Wearers

"I see."

Natsukawa ignored Shima's nostalgic mutterings, squinted her eyes, and let her thoughts drift back to the 1986 timeline, as if she could still see Aso Yuri's appearance.

"Without ixa, I couldn't have done anything, and my mother wouldn't be able to rest in peace..."

"My mother... she was someone whose life energy was stolen by the Blood Demon, she just disappeared like that, leaving only her clothes behind..."

"Mr. Kaminari..."

What a strange woman.

When he left this time and space, he disappeared along with his clothes, making him completely different from the victims of the Tooth Vampire.

Moreover, even if something happens to him, it has nothing to do with Yuri Aso, so blaming herself is completely unreasonable.

In Kiva, Yuri Aso was supposed to get married and have a son and a daughter in the 1986 timeline and live until 2008 before passing away. However, here she only lived until 1988.

"What are your plans next?" the island guard asked, standing up. "Will you return to the Blue Sky Society?"

The Blue Sky Society is currently facing a talent shortage, with only one young man named Minghu who is considered competent, and he is quite good as the current wearer of ixa.

However, Nago has serious personality flaws.

"Let's go back and check first."

Xia Chuan gathered his thoughts and quickly considered the next steps.

He didn't have much time to waste; he had to find a way to clear this dungeon as soon as possible.

We might even have to find a way to go back to the 1986 timeline.

After all, at this point in time, it would be very difficult for him to obtain any Kiva system.

Of course, the first step is to gather information, understand the degree of world line deviation, and see how it differs from the Kiva storyline before making a choice.

The Blue Sky Club's event venue remains the same coffee shop as it was 22 years ago, and even the manager, Akira Kido, is the same person, with almost no changes.

"Shin-chan?"

When Kido Akira saw Natsukawa appear with Shima Mamoru, he almost dropped the plate in his hand, rubbing his eyes and staring blankly at Natsukawa.

"Wait, are you Shinji's child? His brother?"

"No need to think about it," Shima said with a rare smile, "He is Kaminari."

"One omelet rice, please, boss." Xia Chuan sat down at the counter, his expression still somewhat helpless.

This guy likes to call himself Shinji-chan. Even the real Shinji Kaminaga would find it hard to stand it, right?

"Is it really Shinji-chan?" Kido Akira was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Natsukawa's arm with tears welling up in his eyes. "Thank goodness, Shinji-chan is still alive, and she's exactly the same as before. I'm so touched..."

"Boss, you haven't changed much either."

Natsukawa Inui laughed and broke free.

I don’t know whether to say Kido Aki looks older than he is or what, he looked the same 22 years ago and he still does now, he hasn’t even changed his clothes.

Glancing at the golden retriever in the corner, which had grown from a puppy into an old friend, Natsukawa turned to Shima and asked, "By the way, where are the current IXA wearers?"

"You mean Nago?" Shima asked with a slightly somber smile. "He lost to Rook and is still recovering from his injury."

Seemingly reluctant to discuss his warriors, Shima placed the ixa gauntlet on the counter and earnestly looked at Natsukawa, saying, "Come back, Kaminaga. The current ixa has undergone extensive improvements, eliminating its side effects and no longer being limited to the security mode. Moreover, new powers are under development. There is no one more suitable to wear it than you."

Xia Chuan neither refused nor agreed.

He was also very curious about IXA's current strength. If he couldn't get the Kiva system, this would be a backup plan.

Since they are both knights from the world of Kiva, perhaps they can fight the Blood Demons in this world?

As for IXA, it has far less potential than the Kiva system... but for someone who possesses the ultimate Kuuga power, it's not really that important.

After all, there are Kiva in this world as well. If an insurmountable feral vampire really appears, there will be ways to deal with it.

Furthermore, as long as one's physique is strong enough, Kuuga Card can unleash even greater power, and surpassing Ultimate Kuuga is not impossible.

Faced with overwhelming strength, ensuring safety is not a problem.

Even if there are beings that cannot be killed, sealing them is still a viable option.

"I'll borrow it for now," Natsukawa said, taking the ixa punch gun. "Come find me anytime you need it."

"So, you really are going to leave in the end?"

The island guard looked slightly disappointed.

Only he knew how well Natsukawa suited ixa.

Over the years, Xia Chuan was the first to use the original ixa without suffering any damage. His combat strength was unbelievable. It is said that he severely injured and drove away ROOK with a single blow back then.

Everyone initially thought that Xia Chuan had sacrificed his own life, but now it seems that this was clearly not the case.

That's what's truly terrifying.

If it were Natsukawa, he would definitely be able to unleash the full power of ixa.

"I have other things to do."

Xia Chuan didn't explain much.

More than 20 years have passed, and it feels like the island's protectors have become much more pragmatic; there's no need to open up to them anymore.

"But before I leave, I will do my best to help deal with the Toothflesh, including Rook."

"That's good. If it's you, there won't be any problem."

Shima-go's expression relaxed, and he smiled again as he began to reminisce, also telling Natsukawa about some of the changes that had occurred over the past 20 years.

Even after so many years, the problem of the Tooth Vampires remains extremely difficult to solve. Although the Blue Sky Society has eliminated some Tooth Vampires, it has not made much difference to the overall population.

As for the information that Natsukawa urgently wanted to know...

Aside from the unexpected turn of events in Yuri Aso's route, Otoya Akane's route is largely unchanged. Wataru Akane is still born and lives according to his original destiny, and is now barely considered a half-member of the Blue Sky Society.

Surprisingly, there was no news at all about King's son, who is also Wataru's half-brother, and Wataru didn't have any messy romantic relationships.

I don't know if it hasn't appeared yet or if something has already changed.

……

Blue Sky Library.

Keisuke Nago touched the bandage on his arm, shook his head as he recalled the scene of being defeated by Rook, and then cheered himself up to continue flipping through the dusty records.

"Found him, Shinji Kaminaga, the first wearer of the IXA suit!"

After finding Natsukawa's information, Nago Keisuke's face lit up with joy, his fingers trembled slightly, and he read the contents carefully, unable to suppress his excitement.

"It's said that a warrior once severely injured and repelled Rook, and it seems he was right... Rain amplifies the electric shock? Impressive, but..."

Upon seeing the record of Natsukawa's disappearance, seemingly having his life energy stolen, Nago Keisuke's body trembled.

"How could this be? No, the method is correct. With so many updates to IXA, dealing with ROOK shouldn't be a problem."

Keisuke Nago firmly closed the notebook.

"That's right, if it's me, there won't be any problem! Next, we just need to get the ixa back from the president..."

"What?! Ixa has already been given to someone else?!"

Keisuke Nago, who rushed back to the coffee shop, exclaimed in astonishment and looked at the indifferent-looking Mamoru Shima in disbelief.

"Why? Mr. Shima, ixa is mine..."

"That's not right," Shima-go glanced at Nago-keisuke and emphasized, "The IXA system belongs to the Blue Sky Society. I decide who gets to use it, and the other person is more qualified to use IXA than you."

"How could that be?"

Keisuke Nago staggered backward, unable to accept losing ixa, his head bowed and lips trembling.

"Only I can destroy ROOK, I've found a way..."

"You don't need to worry about ROOK," the island guard interrupted. "Go back and rest to recover."

What does "don't need to worry about it" mean?

Keisuke Nago angrily grabbed his fingers and stormed out of the coffee shop without looking back.

"I'll take down ROOK!"

"Isn't this too cruel, Kojima-chan?" Kido Akira said worriedly. "This child is really hurt."

"Ignore him," said the island guard calmly, adding sugar to his coffee. "It's a test for any soldier. If he can't even handle this, he's not qualified to continue being a Blue Sky Society soldier."

I almost forgot it's going to be released today. I'll update again tonight.

The difficulty with this book is that it's like feeling your way across a river by touching the stones. I always feel like I don't have much experience, I don't know how to use the tricks, and I can't write filler content. As I write, I find that the plot I arranged before needs to be redesigned, resulting in a bunch of scraps.

I'm a little afraid that if I write too fast, I'll mess it up.

For now, I can only guarantee to add more chapters when I reach key plot points (cough, I dare not make promises lightly).

Each leader of the alliance will be given a 10,000-word update. I owe one to you. Thank you to Red Lotus Emperor and all the readers.

I'm not planning to create a group for now. If you have any opinions, you can leave them in this chapter or in the book review. I'll read them when I have time.
