Great, we're doomed now!

"What year is it now, and where is this place?"

"The year... 1965, wh... what happened?"

"This is Arakawa Ward, Tokyo... Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"I……"

1965 years?

Ye Shou narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought," and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

The three were startled and shrank back in fear. Seeing this, Ye Shou immediately turned his murderous intent into helplessness: "I just remembered that I have a debt that I haven't settled yet. It has nothing to do with you."

Seeing their reaction, Ye Shou lost interest in gathering further information and snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

All three were drawn to the action, and the crisp sound made them slightly distracted. When they turned around, the young man who had come up from the river had already disappeared.

"N-it's gone?"

"Ghost!"

"wrong!"

Endo suddenly shouted, "Look what this is!"

"This is……"

There was a stone where the young man was standing, with three golden objects about the size of a finger on it.

"...gold?"

"Don't touch it..."

They tried it and found that it really felt just like gold. Although they couldn't say they were rich overnight, it was worth at least two or three months' salary. They were overjoyed, and their panic and anxiety lessened considerably.

"Could it be a raccoon's magic?"

"Whatever, let's take it back and have it appraised."

"Now I can make a necklace for Noriko."

"...Are you going to tell your wives about this?"

"..."

The three exchanged a glance, and suddenly an unspoken understanding arose within them.

-

Since we've reached 1965, it means the causal connection between the suitcase and the Cosmic Demon Chariga is still there, so we can assume he's still stuck in that time.

After entering the city, Ye Shou searched through the newspapers of the past few days and found no news related to monsters or aliens. Instead, he saw a recruitment advertisement for "Tsuburaya Special Effects Production Company," which seemed to be preparing a new production team.

Ye Shou had previously learned about Tsuburaya Productions' history in the main world and had some understanding of this period. He knew that what was being filmed now was not the world-renowned "Ultraman", but its predecessor, the experimental tokusatsu "Ultra Q".

He certainly didn't care about a company's history, but according to the setting, Eiji Tsuburaya here had seen the real "Ultraman" and still had an Ultra Star in his hand, so Ye Shou had ample reason to contact him.

Now, 30 million years have passed. What happened to the giants who left Earth back then?

Did the "first generation" that appeared in 1965 actually come from the Land of Light?

If so, is he a native of this universe, or did he travel here under special circumstances?

Every problem will affect Ye Shou's future plans!

Finding Eiji Tsuburaya wasn't difficult. As a celebrity of this era, Ye Shou had already pinpointed his target with a little effort. However, he didn't reveal himself directly but instead hid in the shadows, quietly observing Eiji Tsuburaya's actions.

The reason is simple: Charika hasn't appeared yet.

The alien demon's target is the "monster Yanagaki," whose hiding place is known only to Eiji Tsuburaya (and Ye Shou). He will definitely come looking for this great director, and if Ye Shou suddenly appears and startles the demon, things will take an unexpected turn.

Actually, Ye Shou was also very interested in Charika's background and power.

In fact, Ye Shou didn't have to wait long at all. Charika also found Tsuburaya Productions very quickly, almost right after Ye Shou, which meant that he didn't have time to make any arrangements.

……

"Have you ever seen an alien?"

Sitting at one side of the small table, screenwriter Tetsuo Kaneshiro suddenly widened his eyes, finding the director's abrupt remark quite amusing.

"What do aliens look like? Haha..."

"Yes, I have met him; he is my friend."

The thin, bespectacled old man smiled energetically, completely unfazed by the young screenwriter's obvious mockery.

He poured a glass of sake for the young man who was going through a creative creative block and was experiencing a creative drought.

Then, under the other person's teasing gaze, she began to recount her past story...

Outside the window, a pale face appeared on the wooden pillar, intently listening to the sounds inside. After obtaining a key piece of information, a look of joy appeared on the face, and then the face disappeared into the wooden pillar like a ghost.

In the darkness, a chubby figure in a tuxedo jogged excitedly down the street, muttering something like "Yana Gaki," making it seem as if he were calling for a loved one.

Inside the house, Eiji Tsuburaya and Tetsuo Kinjo did not notice anything unusual.

At first, Jin Cheng didn't believe the story at all, thinking that director Tsuburaya was deliberately trying to inspire him. But when the old man took out a red gem the size of a baby's fist, which was the "Ultra Star" in the story, Jin Cheng's expression changed.

Upon taking the Ultra Star, a strange warmth emanated from it. Although the temperature wasn't very high, it penetrated the skin and made one feel inexplicably comfortable... This made Jin Cheng suspicious.

Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought, Eiji Tsuburaya left the Ultra Star in Kinjo's hands, took the hat from the coat rack, and went out the door.

Maybe it's because I talked too much today and thought about a lot of things from the past, but suddenly I wanted to go and see "that place".

After walking a few steps outside, Tsuburaya noticed a young man standing alone under a streetlamp at the intersection, seemingly waiting for someone.

Eiji Tsuburaya had a feeling: although he couldn't explain why, he felt that the other party had come to find him.

"you are?"

"I'm just someone who came here seeking help."

Ye Shou turned around and smiled at Eiji Tsuburaya: "Sir, I have just made a very risky decision, which goes against my usual principles... but I have to do it, and I will also take responsibility for not threatening the residents here and keeping natural disasters out of the town."

"W-What are you saying?" Eiji Tsuburaya looked confused. "I don't understand. Are you really looking for me?"

"That's right, it's you, Director Eiji Tsuburaya... a friend of my compatriots."

"Compatriots?"

"I hope to get your help, but of course I will protect you first."

Eiji Tsuburaya was even more puzzled: "What kind of danger is it—"

Roar! ! !

The ground trembled slightly, and a roar that echoed through the night sky startled the entire town awake!

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Eiji Tsuburaya gasped in shock and turned to look in the direction of "Lake Ryusei".

"Has the monster... woken up? Wait, the danger you mentioned is the monster Yanagaki, so who are you?"

Eiji Tsuburaya turned his head, his words abruptly ending—

The dim yellow light of the streetlamp fell on a muscular body as beautiful as an ancient Greek statue. The silver-based body was painted with red and gold to convey a sense of holiness, while the expressionless features revealed a serene compassion and mercy.

"...Ultraman!"

Eiji Tsuburaya held his breath, and his old heart began to beat strongly once again. In that instant, he felt his blood begin to burn, as if he had returned to that night.

Are you...his compatriot?

"—"

The silver giant didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly, then transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky under Eiji Tsuburaya's gaze.

"What happened? An earthquake!" A panicked shout rang out as Tetsuo Kinjo ran out of the house and saw Eiji Tsuburaya standing outside.

"Mr. Tsuburaya, you don't—"

At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and he instinctively looked up:

A beautiful streak of light flashed across the night sky, heading towards Longsen Lake.

Under the bright moonlight, a fifty-meter-long monster burst through the lake's surface, its terrifying roar echoing through the air as a waterfall cascaded down its back.

Bang!

A streak of light flew by, and the giant of light's knight kick slammed the monster back into the water!

"……giant!"

Tetsuo Kinjo stared wide-eyed at the scene, instinctively clutching the red gem tightly.

"Ultraman!"

The bounty has ended.

Everyone can stop for now; the chef has finally made it through!

By the way, here's an update on the current bounty situation:

There are 45 chapters in total. Three chapters have already been paid back, which means there are 42 chapters left.

The chef usually writes long chapters, so it's unlikely that he can finish it all in one go. Going forward, the chef will generally update twice a day, with 8,000 words or more. If something happens, he will temporarily update 4,000 words, and then update more the next day.

It will probably take more than a month to pay it off; I'll be completely drained.

Chapter 252: The First Superman (4K)

"Giants? Who!"

Charika, who was in mid-air, had already revealed his true form as an alien. Upon seeing this scene, he was filled with shock and anger.

"Yanagaki, stand up! Keep destroying, and defeat that vile giant!"

"You won't lose! You're the fiercest monster in the universe!"

Roar!

The lake water was churned up into turbid waves, and the monster crawled out of the water, revealing most of its body. Its fierce roar revealed its rage, showing no sign of being frustrated. It was like a ravenous hound, only its size was magnified many times over. With a single move, it could destroy the entire town.
