Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 63 Father's Comrade

The Thousand-Mile Eye Divination Hall in the shopping street.

A strange man carrying an old suitcase stopped at the door.

Wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, a printed scarf around his neck, and a knitted mixed-color shawl cape, he looked like a Mongolian herdsman. His jeans and leather shoes gave him a Western cowboy vibe, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

The interior is decorated in a magical style, with a bald fortune teller in the center who, after removing his disguise, licks his fingers and counts money with a smile.

"Haha, another big profit! It's unbearable, I can never have enough! People may betray you, but money never will..."

"It's you, isn't it? The man who can see the future, isn't it?"

The cowboy lifted the curtain and coldly watched the bald man frantically put on a wig and beard.

"Of course!" the bald fortune teller said, straightening his expression and adopting a mysterious air. "I'm the kind of man who can often see the future! Hahaha..."

"I see... then you should disappear."

Glassy patterns appeared on the cowboy's face, and a pair of glowing fangs flew out of thin air and pierced the bald fortune teller's neck.

The laughter inside the hall abruptly stopped, and banknotes scattered everywhere.

"Wrong, this guy isn't King either."

"I heard you've been looking for King everywhere, is that true?"

The four bishops, dressed in black robes, appeared at the door. They wore round-framed glasses, were tall and thin, and looked like sickly ghosts, but the danger in their eyes was no less than that of the cowboy, with a hint of sinister ruthlessness.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

"Rumor has it that King has ended up in human society," the cowboy said calmly. "Since he's King, even in human form, he must possess special abilities."

"You want to defeat King?"

"That's right, I will become the new king and rule the world."

The bishop's gaze swept over the bald fortune teller who had vanished into thin air, then he turned to the cowboy who had been spouting boastful words: "Ah Zhong, you are indeed very strong, even your ambition is too strong, which is why you failed to become one of the four executives of the chess team."

"Strength is everything."

The cowboy snorted and walked out of the fortune-telling shop, avoiding the bishop.

……

Shopping street square.

Natsukawa first went to Akane's house, which is now Akane Wataru's place, but unfortunately he didn't find it. Instead, he ran into Akane Wataru outside after returning.

The boy in the coffee shop photo looks somewhat timid and not good at interacting with people.

"You must be Akatsuki?" Natsukawa greeted him.

To reach the 1986 timeline, one must rely on the Vampire Delan Dragon Castle, and it seems that the only way to enter Delan Dragon Castle is through Red Wataru.

The current Delan Dragon Castle should belong to Kiva, just like the Wolf's.

"Who are you?"

Hongdu looked bewildered.

He was certain he didn't recognize the handsome middle-aged man in front of him.

Suddenly, screams erupted from the children's playground in the square. A middle-aged thug, heavily disguised and carrying a backpack, ran wildly out, knocking down several passersby along the way.

"Get out of here!"

"Robbery!"

"My bag..."

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

The thug swung his arm and shoved Hongdu away, but Hongdu, who had reacted quickly, grabbed him from behind.

"open!"

"You bastard!"

After realizing he couldn't break free, the assailant angrily loosened his backpack and turned around to beat him wildly.

"You brat..."

"Bang! Bang!"

Xia Chuan frowned slightly.

Perhaps due to a lack of skill in human physical combat, Wataru was knocked down with just a few punches, appearing completely powerless to fight back.

He was kicked in the stomach several times, and his face turned blue.

For Kiva, this is far too weak.

"stop."

Seeing that the assailant was about to commit further violence, Xia Chuan stepped forward and grabbed the assailant's arm.

"Damn it! Who are you?" the thug roared, turning around and suddenly pulling a dagger from his pocket. "Looking for death?!"

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan swiftly snatched the dagger, frowned, and suddenly raised his leg, kicking the assailant several meters away into the sand where he was unconscious.

Although his stance is to protect humanity, it must be said that no matter the world, there are always scumbags out there.

Such people are not worth protecting.

"Are you alright?"

Amidst the shocked gazes of passersby, Xia Chuan approached Hong Du, who was struggling to his feet in pain.

"N-nothing, thank you," Hongwatari said, clutching her stomach as she sat down on a nearby stone bench. "By the way, who are you, sir?"

"In a way, he could be considered your father's comrade-in-arms," ​​Xia Chuan said after a slight pause.

Akane also transformed into ixa, so calling her a comrade-in-arms is not wrong.

"Comrades?"

Hongdu stared at Xia Chuan for a while, then suddenly gasped softly.

"Could you be... Mr. Shinji Kaminaga?!"

"Hey, A-Du!"

A golden flying object, about the size of a palm, suddenly rushed in and hurriedly called out to Hongdu.

"What are you doing? Another vampire has appeared! Get moving!"

"A toothed bat?"

Xia Chuan curiously examined the mechanical-like life form flapping its wings above his head.

This is the main body of the Kiva belt, the Fang Bat III.

Its biscuit-like body is mostly occupied by a pair of red eyes, below which is its mouth and a pair of small paws. Its wings spread out on both sides and flap, and on its head are dog-like ears. The Demon Emperor Stone between its eyebrows hides terrifying power.

The voice sounds familiar; I think I've heard it in some animation before.

"Hurry up, Wataru!" Fang Bat III, unaware of Wataru's abnormal condition, continued to urge him on urgently.

Seeing this, Natsukawa pressed down on the shoulder of Akira Watari, who was getting up despite the pain, and said, "Let me do it."

"Who are you?" Fang Bat III finally noticed Xia Chuan, his large red eyes looking down at him in surprise.

"lead the way."

Xia Chuan took out the ixa fist gun and said.

The boxer looks much the same as it did 22 years ago, but the internals have definitely undergone a huge change, the most noticeable difference being that it's significantly heavier.

Perfect, I can get used to this version of ixa first.

According to the island's guardian, the current ixa is in stage 2, which is a burst mode that can operate at 100% power and has basically no side effects, but the load is very high when operating at 100%.

"what!"

Amidst the chaos on the street, pedestrians rushed about, and a man in a leather jacket, going against the flow of people, grabbed the arm of a panicked pedestrian.

"Hey, nothing interesting? If not, just disappear!"

"ROOK?"

Xia Chuan spotted ROOK immediately.

However, this time the chaos wasn't caused by Rook, but by a warthog-toothed vampire that seemed to be hunting its prey.

"Ready!"

"Fi-stOn!"

"Transformation."

Xia Chuan pressed down on the ixa fist gun, then casually fastened his belt with one hand, overlapping with the glowing ixa battle suit armor that unfolded in a half-cross shape as he walked.

The moment the outfit was put on, the facial armor unfolded simultaneously, revealing a pair of red compound eyes amidst the intense blast.

"call!"

This is the ixa burst mode.

Its strength is indeed far superior to that of a security guard, and it has no terrible side effects, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear.

As for the load...

His physical condition was fine, but the suit and built-in computer were a bit of a strain.

This mode seems to be unusable for more than 30 minutes continuously, and energy consumption increases dramatically. It also means that the suit cannot be summoned again for a short period of time after use.

"It's not a big problem."

Xia Chuan locked his gaze on ROOK and the warthog-toothed vampire on the opposite side.

30 minutes is enough.

"Whoosh!"

"Is that the guy?"

Keisuke Nago appeared amidst the fleeing crowd, staring intently at Natsukawa's transformation.

"My ixa..."
