The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

"Lu Xuan, lunch is ready."

"Also, a new batch of supplies prepared by Tina has been delivered."

Tina is not human, but an artificial intelligence system on the Gailvin, and also the master program responsible for the entire Gailvin Corporation's defense system.

Despite Lu Xuan's previous use of the term "artificial intelligence" to refer to the AI ​​brain.

However, it is undeniable that the other party is indeed the most advanced intelligent program on Earth at present.

Therefore, when Daigo realized that the essence of the AI ​​was actually close to the category of "artificial life", he took it upon himself to give it a name.

Lu Xuan neither agreed nor objected to this.

"Is it already noon?"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but frown; he hadn't expected time to pass so quickly.

Before I knew it, another morning had passed.

"If I remember correctly, today should be the day you register for TPC pilot training, right?"

For the Gaelic people, who have two brains, photographic memory is just a basic ability.

Moreover, Lu Xuan actually valued Daigo, the "future Ultraman Tiga," quite a bit deep down, so he naturally wouldn't ignore this important day.

"Don't worry about that, Tina has already arranged it for me."

He quickly waved his hand to indicate that Lu Xuan didn't need to worry about this matter. Through their time together, Daigo had already learned about the power of the Galvin Company.

Let alone registration with all the materials prepared in advance.

Even temporarily placing someone into the training school wouldn't be difficult.

"That's good."

Without making a sound, Lu Xuan dusted himself off and then brought up another matter.

"Now that you've decided to participate in TPC's pilot training, you must have told your parents about your 'part-time job' at Gaelvin, right?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo gave an awkward laugh.

"This... I haven't actually told them yet..."

The bold words he uttered when he left home have now become the scene Daigo most wants to forget.

He was so arrogant that he wanted to participate in TPC's pilot training program and even made a promise to his father that he would earn enough money to cover the training costs.

When Daigo thought back to that scene, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

If it weren't for the chance encounter that led him to become Lu Xuan's assistant, he would definitely have returned to Amami Oshima in disgrace by now.

Daigo knew that with his father's stubborn but soft-hearted nature, plus his mother's persuasion, they would eventually help him pay the bill.

But that would mean he owed them even more favors, which was definitely not what Daigo wanted to see.

I owe them so much in this lifetime.

Even if it's just once, Daigo wants to prove to them that he has reached the point where he can choose his future.

"Haven't you told your family yet?"

Lu Xuan glanced at Daigo thoughtfully, and perhaps sensing his thoughts, he spoke up.

"In that case, why don't you take some time to go home?"

"It just so happens that I was also thinking of meeting your parents to let them know that their precious son hasn't joined any criminal organization."

Chapter 47 Amami Oshima

Between Kagoshima and Okinawa lies an island group known as the "Oriental Galapagos Islands".

It is a jewel of Kagoshima, Kyushu, and is known as "the island closest to heaven".

Here you'll find the emerald green sea and mangroves swaying in the wind, full of southern charm, just like a paradise on earth.

"This is Amami Oshima?"

Where did you grow up?

Looking out at the breathtaking scenery, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

The island before him was far more beautiful than he had imagined, even making Lu Xuan, who was not usually picky about his living environment, want to settle down here.

"To be precise, I lived here until I was ten years old."

Upon hearing this, Daigo, who was driving, answered softly.

However, besides his pride in his hometown, Daigo's voice also seemed to reveal a hint of sadness.

Before the age of ten?

"Is it related to your adoptive parents?"

Before arriving here, Lu Xuan had already learned about Daigo's background through various channels.

Unlike the TV series that rarely mentioned Daigo's background, in this real world, Daigo also has his own unique life trajectory.

However, he was not "ordinary" as Lu Xuan had always thought of him.

Daigo, who always appears so gentle, actually had a very tragic childhood.

When Daigo was ten years old, his parents died in an accident, leaving him alone to live temporarily in his grandfather's house.

After living as an outsider for quite some time, Daigo was finally adopted by his current adoptive parents and gradually emerged from the shadow of his parents' unexpected death.

"Yes, they are all very gentle people..."

“After my biological parents passed away, they came to my grandfather’s house and expressed their desire to adopt me.”

"All of this is simply because my parents helped them in the past, and they don't want to see me living a life of dependence on others."

Although his tone was somewhat understated, the weight in Da Gu's words was clear to anyone.

In Japan, a society where interpersonal relationships tend to be cold, even blood relatives were unwilling to adopt Daigo, which shows how sincere the adoptive parents were.

"After they officially adopted me, for a long time I didn't want to call them Mom and Dad, but instead called them Mr. Taniyama and Ms. Misaki..."

“But they didn’t care about any of that. Instead, they took my feelings into consideration, gave up their jobs in big cities, and decided to settle down on Amami Oshima.”

"Although they often said afterwards that they were tired of living in the big city and wanted to retire early."

"But I know those are just excuses. They just don't want me, who has lost my parents, to live in a completely unfamiliar place."

He gave up his stable life in a big city for an adopted son with whom he had no blood relation.

This is something not all adoptive parents can do, and it's why Daigo began to formally regard them as his parents.

Regardless of the adoptive parents' original intentions in adopting Daigo, they have already done their best to give all their love to each other.

"Although I was just a child at the time, I could feel their good intentions, so I firmly disagreed with their ideas."

"In addition, my father was determined to train me to become an outstanding architectural engineer, so he sent me to study at the best middle school in Okinawa, and they have been with me all along."

"They didn't move away from the big city in Okinawa and officially settle here until I successfully applied to a university in Tokyo."

In a sense, this is all that biological parents can do.

"They do sound like a very 'gentle' couple."

Lu Xuan neither commented on nor approved of the couple's choice, after all, it was their personal decision.

The only thing Lu Xuan was certain of was that the couple had a significant influence on Daigo, even indirectly shaping Daigo's current personality.

Ordinary, gentle, yet resolute...

It was precisely this kind of Daigo that led to him being chosen as Tiga's successor in the future, becoming an important link between "light" and "humanity".

"But I'd like to know one thing: how much of what you told them about me?"

Lu Xuan never thought he would be the protagonist of any novel or movie, nor did he think that everyone around him had an obligation to hide his identity.

Therefore, when Daigo discovered his identity, Lu Xuan had already prepared for the possibility that his alien identity would be spread on a small scale.

In fact, a significant reason why Lu Xuan took the initiative to follow Daigo to Amami Oshima was to see if Daigo had revealed his true identity.

"Don't worry about that, I didn't tell them your identity."

Daigo was just a bit reckless at times, but he wasn't really brainless. He immediately understood the subtext in Lu Xuan's words.

Discovering and investigating Lu Xuan's alien identity was a private operation carried out by Daigo alone; he never told a second person about it.

Even with his adoptive parents, Daigo only made an excuse that he was looking for a part-time job.

This was partly because Daigo was unsure whether his investigation was accurate.

But on the other hand, I also don't want to involve them.

"In their eyes, you're just a manager at my part-time company..."

"The reason they came to Amami Oshima with me this time is to conduct a thorough background investigation."

It seems rather strange that a large multinational corporation would conduct a background check on a "part-time employee."

But it's much more reasonable than the reason that "my boss is an alien and dragged me into the investigation of some ancient civilization's ruins."

"That's a really lame excuse..."

After habitually criticizing Daigo's excuse-making skills, Lu Xuan sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

He can only pray that Daigo's adoptive parents won't nitpick over these details, otherwise this matter might not be able to be resolved peacefully.

"Also, why did you want to bring Gedi along?"

As he said this, Lu Xuan turned his head and glanced at Gaddy, who was still sticking out his tongue in the back row, his tone full of disdain.

"Huh? I was just worried it would cause trouble!"

Ultimately, no matter how silly Gedi may seem now, it is still an ancient Komainu monster from 30 million years ago.

It's estimated that only someone as carefree as Lu Xuan would dare to leave it alone at the headquarters of Gailwin Corporation.

Daigo was a little uneasy; he didn't want to go back and find that the headquarters of the company where he would be working part-time had been destroyed by a monster.

Chapter 48 Daigo's Parents

Inside a not-so-large villa in Amami City.

This is a typical Japanese-style detached villa, surrounded by a courtyard wall where plants can be grown to help people relax.

In the backyard of this villa, there are some small greenhouses that have been set up quite exquisitely.

No further understanding is needed.

Just by looking at the layout of this villa, you can tell what kind of personality the owner has.

"Old man, why hasn't Daigo come back yet?"

Standing at the gate of the villa, I saw a lady who looked older but still maintained her composure and couldn't help but start nagging.

Behind the lady, a rather robust middle-aged man stood straight in the aisle, his every move exuding the aura of a traditional Showa-era man.

"You've said the same thing ten times already!"

Not only does he have a particularly strong and masculine demeanor, but the middle-aged man's voice and tone are also very robust.

"Daigo isn't a child anymore. He can take care of himself, so you don't need to worry about him."

She rolled her eyes at the middle-aged man, her beauty still evident, and knew exactly what he was thinking. She immediately retorted.

"If you're not worried, then why are you standing here now?"

After leaving the middle-aged man speechless with a single sentence, the lady immediately changed the subject and began to murmur worriedly.

"That child has always been too kind and doesn't know how to protect himself..."

"He said he was going to bring his supervisor home to meet us, he must have been scammed by someone outside."

"When their supervisor comes over later, remember to give him a heads-up."

"If that so-called 'manager' is really some kind of pyramid scheme or cult member, you must stop that kid from going out again."
