Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 621 Knights

Tokyo.

After leaving Kirimon-dake, the survey team knights, having thoroughly resolved their identity issues, met with Shinjo again.

In the somewhat deserted restaurant lobby, there was a small TV playing a video of a song being performed. The singer's sweet yet rock-and-roll voice instantly caught Fujiwara Saiji's attention.

She was a young woman with dyed white hair, whose every move exuded a unique charm, and whose singing voice seemed to penetrate the soul.

At least Fujiwara Saiji immediately sensed the taste of love.

"she is……"

"Chris Maya, a phenomenal singer now."

After ordering his food, Xincheng sat down opposite the others and listened to the songs coming from the small TV, feeling quite emotional.

"My sister is a huge fan of hers. She insisted that I buy two concert tickets for her and asked me to take time off work to be with her. It's really ridiculous."

"You seem to really like your sister," the introverted Watari said softly.

"What can I do? She's my only sister."

Shinjo smiled and handed a document to Hiroko Asami.

"You've been temporarily assigned to the Victory Team as a special unit to help us handle some ground incidents... Have you decided on a name for this unit?"

"Let's call it the Knights, as a way to commemorate the past." Hiroko Asami didn't open the file, but just glanced at Shinjo a few more times.

"knight?"

Xincheng was surprised, wondering what the special meaning was. Just as he was about to ask, he found that everyone's eyes were on him.

"What's wrong with you all?"

"Mr. Shinjo, let's be honest," Hiroko Asami gestured to Takumi Onoue to keep an eye on the left and right before looking directly at Shinjo, "The reason we contacted you was not to join TPC, or rather, it's no longer the case."

"Huh?" Xincheng uttered a familiar, bewildered sound.

"Actually, you're the giant who defeated Golza, right?"

Hiroko Asami stated this explicitly.

"There's no need to be surprised. It's easy to see if you pay attention, and we're no strangers to Lipia."

"You...know about Lipia?" Shinjo was even more surprised, and the fingers on his weapon tightened.

"We have no hostility; in a sense, we are also chosen by Lipia."

Hosho Emu noticed Shinjo's little tricks and explained with his arms crossed.

"In our original world, Lipia was like a god. Now that a crisis has arisen there, we have come to find Lipia."

"So that's how it is. You come from other planets."

Xincheng suddenly responded.

He didn't sense any hostility; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of closeness.

No wonder Lipia asked him to help with the reception.

A bitter smile appeared on Xincheng's face.

"I have indeed obtained the power of Lypia... Have I disappointed you? I am truly ashamed. I am not yet fully in sync with Lypia, nor am I as powerful as you think. I'm afraid I cannot help you."

As he spoke, Shinjo glanced at the shadowy figure of Natsukawa on the other side, who seemed to be lost in thought.

In any case, since Lipia is unwilling to meet these people, there must be some reason.

It's better to keep some things to yourself.

And he wasn't exactly lying.

"Can you keep this a secret?" After making sure no one else was paying attention, Shinjo coughed lightly and asked, "I don't want to be seen as an oddball."

"How could he be an outcast?" Fujiwara Saiji asked, puzzled. "Isn't Ultraman very popular? Everyone says Ultraman is a hero."

"Kid, don't judge a book by its cover. This world is actually very complicated."

Shinjo could see the longing in Fujiwara Seiji's eyes, and shook his head helplessly to remind him.

"People shouldn't get too close to each other, let alone Ultraman. I feel like a kid with a gun in the middle of the city right now... Besides, I hope to be able to return to a normal life in the future."

"We will not reveal your identity."

Hiroko Asami stopped Fujiwara Saiji, who was about to speak.

This is not the real world, and even in the real world, Lipia's experience was not much better.

"Could you tell us... Lipia's exact location now? Or help us make contact?"

"I...I can't do that right now."

"call!"

Xia Chuan sensed Xin Cheng's predicament and waved his hand, not letting him say more.

He still cares a lot about the silver armor that the league team showed off.

Needless to say, it incorporates the power of the Knight System, making it a knight's nemesis. Most importantly, it is highly compatible with Ultraman dungeons, making it even more perfect than the mechanical armor from the previous Nexus.

This would undoubtedly worsen the Cavaliers' situation.

Fujiwara Saiji and the others are quite far behind those D-rank half-humans. Even if they exchange for the power of the Imperial Knight, they may not be able to gain an advantage. The same knight power has very different effects on different people, and that is not the result he wants to see.

He first needs to help the knights upgrade to D-level life forms.

How did he get promoted to D-rank back then?

It seems pretty easy.

Why are the trainees stuck? There shouldn't be a lack of battles on Nexus's side either.

Is it because the Knight system alone cannot advance in the Ultraman dungeon?

Perhaps we should learn from Mefilas's technology.

Xia Chuan pondered the situation with the league team.

Ideally, a complete set of armor should be obtained.

He doesn't understand the technology, but he can let the new city team study it.

"It's Chris Maya!"

"Look this way, Maya!"

Suddenly, cheers erupted outside the restaurant as a group of enthusiastic fans swarmed past, chasing after the black bread truck.

"It's really popular."

Hiroko Asami couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. By the time she realized what was happening, Saiji Fujiwara had already rushed out and seamlessly blended into the fan group.

"This kid... well, at least he can forget some of the pain."

"I'm afraid he hasn't forgotten," Hojo Emu analyzed from a doctor's perspective. "He's deliberately hiding himself, not wanting us to think he's fragile."

"what?"

The new city is even more confusing.

He understood these people less and less.

"Anyway, if you need anything, you can contact me through the standard communicator. I have to go now."

"Whoosh!"

The black van outside rolled down its window, revealing a glimpse of a woman wearing sunglasses. Her peculiar, inhuman aura caused Xincheng's expression to change drastically.

"That's Chrismaya...isn't she human?"

She's a space refugee, ignore her.

Xia Chuan's consciousness returned to Xin Cheng's body.

"Lypia?"

[Leave here first; you seem to be in some trouble.]

"trouble?"

Xincheng's expression froze, and a terrifying warning immediately rose in his mind.

Some people wearing hooded gray robes were visible in the crowd, but they did not attract much attention because of the appearance of singer Maya.

Several sharp gazes locked onto Xincheng, causing him to break out in a sweat even without consciously sensing it.

The feeling was much stronger than the Mayan experience from before.

"Who exactly are these guys?" Shinjo's voice trembled slightly as he moved away from the crowd. "Are they after me?"

"They are probably Kyrielods."

"Um?"

Hiroko Asami noticed something was off about Shinjo, but didn't have the mind to think about it for the time being.

After being officially confirmed to join TPC, the point rewards for the entire Golza event were also distributed to the data panel.

She treats everyone equally, everyone is 100, even she, the team leader, is no exception.

My aversion to trouble and my dislike of detailed numerical data remain unchanged.

"So they've been watching us all along, using Tetsuo Shinjo as a medium?"
