Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

Sakurai Keikazu scratched his head and said to his sister, "ACE learned some bad things today, but it wasn't directed at you, sister."

Sakurai Sara looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi, then clasped her hands together again, her face filled with emotion: "Even the melancholic ACE is so handsome~"

Sakurai Keikazu lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Damn it... I was so careless... Oh right, what an idiot I am, how could my older sister possibly care about something so trivial..."

A little fox rolled across the screen, the camera switched, and You Che and his group of five sat at a table and began eating noodles.

"Hmm, it tastes really good." You Che nodded as he ate. "It's just a bit of a pity that there's not much chili, otherwise it would taste even better."

Kurama Nene and the others looked up at Yu Tetsu, exchanged glances, and then Kurama Nene tentatively asked, "By the way, um, Mr. Sakaki..."

"Just call me Yu Che, thank you."

"...Alright, Mr. Yu Che, I'd like to ask...besides ACE...do you have any other information?"

Kurama Nene tentatively asked, "For example... about the rest of us?"

Chapter 10 The Bet is Myself

"Hmm...is it some special information..." Yu Tetsu looked at Kurama Nene, then pursed his lips, "You'd better not know."

Kurama Nene looked completely bewildered.

"I'm done eating," Ukiyo Hidetoshi said dejectedly, putting down his chopsticks.

"Your mother will be sad if you do this," You Che said casually.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi's expression froze on his face.

"No mother would want her child to go hungry or poorly clothed," You Che said casually, taking a sip of his drink.

"..." Ukiyo Hidetoshi fell silent.

Looking at the raccoon-shaped soba noodles he had left most of, he sighed, then picked up his bowl and quickly slurped up all the noodles in a few bites.

“This time I really ate well,” Ukiyo Hidetoshi said softly, his hands clasped together.

"So fast!" Sakurai Keikazu was taken aback, and then, for some reason, he turned around and started stuffing tanuki soba noodles into his mouth.

Kurama Nene looked at Sakurai Keikazu with a look of disgust, and continued to eat, chopstick by chopstick.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi looked at Yu Che and asked, "Shall we talk about serious business now that we've finished eating?"

"Yes, I know without you even asking. What you want most is to rescue your mother, right?" Yu Che looked calmly at Fu Shi Ying Shou.

“…Ah, I don’t intend to deny that, so…is there any way?” Ukiyo Hidetoshi looked at Yutetsu with some nervousness.

Yu Che pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then held up a finger to Ukiyo Hidetoshi and said, "The first thing you need to know is that you already know the essence of the DGP reality show. It's a reality show that serves people from the future, and it uses your mother's power."

So you have to understand that they can simply run away with your mother.

Ukiyo Hidetoshi's eyes widened instantly.

Kurama Nene and Sakurai Kagekazu also looked at Yu Tetsu with surprise.

"How...how could this be?" Ukiyo Hidetoshi's lips began to tremble.

Kurama Nene suddenly realized, "That's right! What if the DGP members take ACE's mother directly to the future?!"

The group was getting anxious, but just then, Gene, who was slowly eating his noodles, looked up and said, "That's impossible."

The group looked at Gene at the same time.

Gene smiled slightly: "At least not now."

Yu Che nodded: "That's right. Ultimately, DGP's goal is to serve future people. In other words, they want to get more future people as viewers."

What does a reality TV show need? A superstar among superstars?

Kurama Nene frowned and looked at Yu Tetsu: "Stop making fun of the ACE."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi shook his head: "No! I understand what you mean."

The most important thing for a reality show, a variety show... is the buzz!

Yu Che snapped his fingers: "That's right. Last time I announced that information directly on camera during the show, and the results were already there, weren't they? The ratings were bound to go up."

Gene nodded in agreement: "I can vouch for that. Wow, DGP is finally doing well. After all these years, we finally have an episode that meets the ratings standard."

Hidetoshi Ukiyo looked at Gene: "So, actually, DGP's ratings have been declining?"

Gene nodded: "Yes, just like Brother Youche said, after this incident, the ratings for the next episode will definitely rebound, but..."

Hidetoshi Ukiyo narrowed his eyes: "However, if the ratings don't meet expectations, DGP might take the Goddess of Creation, my mother... away from this world, to the past or the future..."

“Ah, that makes sense.” Gene snapped his fingers.

Hidetoshi Ukiyo laughed as he watched Gene's move: "Isn't that my signature move?"

Gene's eyes lit up: "Wow! I've watched every single episode of your show! Your performance has really moved me!"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi lowered his eyes.

Are you moved...?

"No need to be so wary of Gene." Yu Che picked up a condiment box from the table next to him, opened the chili pepper box inside, scooped out a spoonful, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Kurama Neon, standing to the side, froze on the spot.

Sakurai Kagekazu almost spat out the noodles in his mouth.

"You need to understand that the audience of reality shows isn't on the same side as the shows themselves," You Che smacked his lips a couple of times and nodded.

Hmm, that's more like it. Although the noodles taste good, they're just bland and watery.

Hidetoshi Ukiyo thought for a moment and nodded: "You're right, it's impossible for the audience to really be on the same side as the show."

“That’s right, that’s the logic. If the show is good, the audience will naturally watch it; if the show is bad, the audience won’t buy it.” Gene said excitedly.

Hidetoshi Ukiyo took out the coin his mother had left him from his pocket, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Yu Che and asked, "So, you're planning to have me temporarily cooperate with DGP to find a way to infiltrate and rescue my mother, right?"

Yu Che raised an eyebrow and looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi with a puzzled expression: "Why would you think that?"

Hidetoshi Ukiyo was a little confused: "Isn't that right?"

You Che grinned: "A bombshell, huh? A bombshell? Is that all you think a bombshell is?"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi frowned as he looked at Yu Che.

"If you want DGP to stop running away with your mother, you only have one choice..."

Yu Che walked over to Fukiyo Hidetoshi with a smile and punched him on the shoulder: "Become a true star among stars, make DGP indispensable to you, and make them understand that once they leave you, the ratings will plummet."

This is the real thing...

Yu Che tapped Fukiyo Hidetoshi on the shoulder, then waved to the shop owner: "Ah, boss, I'm done eating, it was really good~ Let's ask that big star over there to pay for the meal, he'll treat us."

With that, You Che put his hands in his pockets and left the shop.

Ignoring the women huddled together at the shop entrance, gazing infatuated at Ukiyo Hidetoshi inside, Yu Che stepped out of the shop and grinned.

"This is going to get interesting."

Camera cut...

The new DGP has begun.

Tsumuri looked at the few people who had appeared at the scene, and then looked at Hidetoshi Ukiyo.

"...Welcome everyone to this round..."

"Enough with the nonsense." Ukiyo Hidetoshi stepped forward, looking at Tsumuri with a cold expression. "You are truly shameless! You captured my mother and used me time and time again! For over two thousand years, I have been reincarnated time and time again, yet I have always been manipulated by you!"

Starting today…

Hidetoshi Ukiyo picked up the Geats ID core and placed it on his belt: "I will use the power of Geats that my mother gave me! I will make the DGP program my subservient!"

Bet everything and decide who wins DGP with your favorite games!

This time, it won't be my wish!

It's not a fair bet, but a gamble.

Tsumuri looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi with trembling lips, feeling a little sad. She pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

Just then, Kiroli appeared.

"A fair bet?! What nonsense are you talking about?! There's no need to agree to this kind of bet at all!" Kiroli pointed at Ukiyo Hidetoshi with a furious expression.

Hidetoshi Ukiyo coldly stared at Kiroly: "The stake is myself. If you win..."

Then I'll do whatever you want with me, treat me however you like.

And if I win...

From now on, DGP will belong to me!

Kiroli's entire face was contorted in pain.

Are you kidding me?! What do you think you're doing to my most important DGP?!

Kiroli opened his mouth to curse, but suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind:

[Say yes.]

Kiroli stared blankly: "N-Nani?"

[Say yes! Do you know how much the ratings just skyrocketed?! Say yes now! You bastard!]

Chapter 11 Honest Glare

“Alright, your bet, we at DGP will take it! So, how would you like to place the bet?!” Kiroli looked at Ukiyo Hidetoshi, his eyes full of resistance.

DGP is his DGP. Even if he's just an ordinary game administrator, he'll definitely keep the show running smoothly!

Hidetoshi Ukiyo, you're just like that guy named Yutsu!

He's an anomaly!

It must be removed!

Kiroly doesn't care about ratings or anything like that; he just wants DGP to continue operating stably.
