Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

Just as Hibino Mirai looked up to search for the Speedway he had arrived on, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away:

"future!"

Upon hearing that voice, Hibino Mirai's heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound and saw Aihara Ryu and the others not far away.

Meanwhile, Aihara Ryu and the others stared wide-eyed, their gazes darting between Hibino Mirai and Saka Hiroto, exclaiming in surprise:

"Two futures?!"

Hibino Mirai sensed something was terribly wrong. He forced himself to step forward, a strained smile tugging at the corners of his mouth:

"Dragon, haven't you already returned?"

"How could we possibly leave you here alone?"

Aihara Ryu responded, his gaze fixed on the two of them, and said:

"But what's going on with you?"

Saka Hiroto observed the group and noticed the bewildered look on Hibino Mirai's face, realizing that these people were the ones she couldn't let go of.

With this in mind, he stepped forward and smiled:

"Everyone, listen to me, we're actually brothers..."

"Hiroto!"

But at that moment, Hibino Mirai waved her hand and interrupted Saka Hiroto.

He turned to look at Hiroto Saka and gave him a reassuring smile.

Then, he turned his head back to look at Aihara Ryu and the others.

He seemed to have made up his mind. Under the surprised gazes of the others opposite him, he took a deep breath and then spoke:

"Everyone, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long."

Please forgive me!

"What...what do you want to say?"

Aihara Ryu had a premonition that he was about to hear something extraordinary, and his body tensed up involuntarily, becoming somewhat nervous.

Actually, I am...

Hibino Mirai's gaze hardened, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Mebius!"

Chapter 432 Question: Who has a flame symbol etched on their forehead?

"You're saying you're Ultraman Mebius?"

Upon hearing Hibino Mirai's words, Aihara Ryu grinned, revealing a surprised expression, and said:

"Don't be ridiculous, how could that be!"

"Yeah, in the future, rather than believing that you're Mebius, I'm more inclined to believe what that guy said."

Marina Kazama stepped forward and smiled, but when she saw the serious expression on the person in front of her, her smile slowly froze on her face.

Hibino Mirai doesn't seem to be joking at all, and given her personality, she wouldn't joke about something so serious.

However, she recalled Hibino Mirai's strange behavior when they set off. He had said he knew the captain of the Arendas, and now he had brought someone out of the cargo hold.

If they really are brothers, then that makes sense.

Thinking of this, Marina Kazama's smile softened again.

It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Hibino Mirai's words, but what he said was so absurd that she found it hard to accept.

"No, I'm not joking."

But at this moment, Hibino Mirai emphasized one more point.

Then, he slowly raised his left hand, and amidst the incredulous gazes of the people opposite him, he summoned the aura of Mebium amidst a flash of light.

Regarding revealing his true identity to Aihara Ryu and the others, Hibino Mirai thought about it for a while... well, actually she didn't think too much about it; it was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The biggest factor that influenced him to do this was that he didn't want to deceive his partners.

In the past, there were no situations where he needed to explain his identity, and his companions never doubted his relationship with Mebius. It didn't matter if he didn't bring it up himself.

However, in this situation, in order to explain his relationship with Hiroto Saka without revealing his true identity, he had to fabricate a lie.

Admittedly, Hiroto Saka's reasoning was a good one, and he believed that if he admitted it, Ryu Aihara and the others would no longer have any doubts.

But precisely because of this, he was even more unwilling to do so.

His partners placed the utmost trust in him, and he couldn't respond with lies, even white lies.

If too many lies are told between friends, even the most intensely burning flame will eventually be extinguished.

That's something he absolutely doesn't want to see!

"That thing... looks just like the one Mebius has..."

Looking at the Mebium aura that flashed in Hibino Mirai's hand, Kuraya Teppei rubbed his eyes and murmured softly.

"It seems... to be true?"

Aihara Ryu and Kazama Marina were somewhat stunned. Now they believed that Hibino Mirai was not joking with them.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm only telling you this now."

Hibino Mirai pursed her lips and slowly began to speak.

He felt a little uneasy, unsure how his companions would react upon learning of this, but he was mentally prepared.

Even when several people angrily accused him of deceiving them, he accepted it.

Wow! That's amazing!

"I never expected this! It turns out the future is Ultraman Mebius, and the Ultra Warrior is right beside me!"

"You little rascal, you've kept this from us for so long! We'll definitely settle this score with you when we get back!"

But the reaction of Aihara Ryu and the others in the next moment was beyond his expectations.

They didn't care that Hibino Mirai had hidden her identity from them beforehand, but excitedly surrounded him and cheered.

Hibino Mirai was a little confused. He looked at the people around him and asked blankly:

"Don't you... care?"

Upon hearing his words, Aihara Ryu and the others exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Aihara Ryu raised his hand and punched Hibino Mirai in the chest, laughing:

"What's there to care about? It would be problematic not to keep such a secret, wouldn't it? If you had revealed your true identity the very first day you met us, I would definitely have thought you were..."

As he spoke, Aihara Ryu grinned mischievously, pointed to his head, and turned it around, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Hibino Mirai's lips twitched, revealing an awkward smile.

"but......"

At this moment, Aihara Ryu's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly:

"The fact that you were honest with us about your identity shows that you consider us true friends, and I'm very happy about that."

"Of course, I've always considered you all my best partners!"

Hibino Mirai hurriedly said.

"Making friends with an Ultra Warrior is something I never even dreamed of."

Marina Kazama and Teppei Hisagi exchanged a glance. She shrugged and muttered a sigh.

Not far away, Hiroto Saka watched this scene quietly, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips.

He could feel the deep friendship among these people, which was not a compliment based on Hibino Mirai's status as an Ultra Warrior, but a genuine feeling from the bottom of their hearts.

This stirred a sense of envy in Hiroto Saka, who had longed for such a friendship even before heading to Earth.

That's great...

Hiroto Saka smiled, thinking to himself.

He looked at the group of people playing around in front of him and made a decision in his heart.

On the other side, after the initial novelty wore off, Hisahara Teppei thought of a problem. He scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Right now, only a few of us know our future identities, but the captain and the others don't. Should we tell them?"

Ryu Aihara and Marina Kazama remained silent, turning to look at Mirai Hibino.

Without hesitation, Hibino Mirai flashed a bright smile and said:

"Of course, you are all my partners!"

Upon hearing this, Hisayoshi Teppei chuckled, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"I really want them to know soon; the captain and the others will be in for a huge surprise!"

...........

"...The captain and the others will be very surprised!"

On a rocky hill where the Phoenix was docked, Shingo Sakami listened to the voice coming from the communicator. He smiled slightly, keeping his achievements hidden.

"As expected, you are the most suitable person to lead the future. I'm even a little envious of this great atmosphere."

If one of my friends saw this, she'd be so envious she'd cry.

Minghui's voice sounded beside him, with a hint of laughter in it.

Shingo Sakami turned his head away and waved his hand modestly:

"This has little to do with me; it's all because of them. They are all good kids."

He tried his best to keep his voice calm, but a hint of pride still lingered.

Shingo Sakami never considered himself a superior when facing the members of GUYS. To him, these young people in the team were like his children. When someone praised his children, even someone as composed as him found it difficult to control his emotions.
