The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

Mechanical sharks, humanoid giant dogs, red giants...

TPC Americas, space-based kinetic weapons...

Cedik Corporation, Galvin Group...

A team of reporters from the Asahi Shimbun, an administrative officer specially hired by the Galvin Group, and ordinary citizens who accidentally get caught up in it...

And most importantly, the old man who died in the black car—Tateto Takagi.

With so many clues and forces intertwined, even Zong Fang, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

"Has the logistics department provided any clues?"

Before they knew it, Munakata and Nozue had arrived at the location where the Red Giant had fought the previous night.

The mechanical debris from the explosion at Gaiozak was being painstakingly gathered together by the logistics department, forming a massive "garbage dump" the size of a small mountain.

The acrid smell produced by the overload and burning of various electronic components became almost the only remaining odor in Gaiozak.

Right next to Gaiozak, a huge footprint is clearly imprinted on the concrete road, with various traces of scorching and melting visible in it.

"Yes, the logistics department has verified the identities of the group that stayed at the hotel last night."

"Just like the intelligence we received earlier..."

"The group of three men and two women consisted of a reporter from Asahi Shimbun, a special agent and flight test pilot from the Galvin Group, and an ordinary citizen who was accidentally caught up in the incident."

Having said that, Ye Rui suddenly paused for a moment, then said in a low voice.

"However, apart from the Asahi Shimbun reporter and the Galvin Group member's identities being verified..."

"There are actually many suspicious points about that girl named 'Saki'."

"According to the logistics department's investigation, the other party seems to be extremely similar to the deity worshipped by the Tianyi Sect, and those former Earth Defense Force members also came for her."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Zong Fang grasped the crux of the problem.

"Gods? Extraterrestrial visitors?"

"I see! Is Saki still in Amami City?"

Despite not holding out much hope, Zongfang still habitually asked a follow-up question.

"We can't find her anymore."

As Zongfang had predicted, a dejected Ye Rui gave a not-so-surprising answer.

"Have Horii follow up on this. That girl named 'Saki' should be the culprit behind this incident."

Hearing the music, he understood the meaning. Ye Rui, who was already known as a "genius," instantly understood the meaning behind Zong Fang's words.

"You mean, that Shaji is the 'alien visitor' mentioned in the documents?"

Nodding in affirmation of Ye Rui's statement, Zong Fang looked down at the huge footprint on the ground again, his eyes filled with a different kind of fighting spirit.

"No matter what the appearance of the red giant means, it is definitely related to that girl named Saki."

Zongfang felt that the sudden appearance and disappearance of the single-humanoid giant dog and the red giant could not rule out the possibility that they had somehow infiltrated human society.

The girl named Saki was clearly the key to finding them.

"By the way, if I remember correctly..."

"That flight test pilot from Galvin seems to have enrolled in TPC's flight training school, right?"

He wasn't sure if it was just Zong Fang's imagination, but he had a feeling that the Galvin Group had also played a crucial role in this incident.

Although Galvin Company distanced itself completely, almost no useful clues could be found.

However, the fact that two core members of the Galvin Company inexplicably appeared on the battlefield last night is already a huge point of suspicion.

Not to mention, Lu Xuan's story that "he accidentally encountered a girl being sought after by an underworld force and arranged for her to stay at a hotel to ensure her safety" simply cannot stand up to scrutiny.

"You mean that guy named Daigo, right?"

"He did enroll in a flight training school, and it was sponsored by the founder of the Galvin Company."

Quickly recalling the information in his mind, Nori couldn't help but become interested in Daigo.

According to internal TPC records, Daigo apparently abandoned his studies to attend that short-term flight training school.

Let's set aside how the founder of Galvin Corporation came into contact with Daigo, an ordinary person.

Simply giving up one's current studies to participate in a short-term TPC pilot training program requires immense courage and determination.

"Is it possible to find out how he met the founder of the Galvin Group?"

A hint of curiosity also appeared on his face, and the meticulous Zong Fang continued to ask.

"I couldn't find the specific details, but there seems to be some information saying that he saved the life of the founder of the Galvin Group..."

There are related rumors, but no concrete evidence.

As a science major, Ye Rui thought the rumor was unbelievable, but couldn't think of a more suitable reason for the time being.

"This Daigo should be a breakthrough point; we need to find a way to get to him..."

He gently stroked his chin again, and Zongfang, having already made up his mind, said.

"Yori, can you still get in touch with Tetsuo Shinjo?"

"That's the guy who got first place at the military academy, the one who helped us test the GUTS-WING last time..."

After Zongfang's reminder, Ye Rui immediately remembered that straightforward and cheerful man.

"I have his phone number here. Do you need to contact him for something?"

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Zong Fang's lips as he spoke casually.

"Hasn't he been asking about our G agency all along?"

"Find a way to get his name among the instructors at the flight training school..."

"Just tell him this is his mission, to find out the relationship between Daigo and the Galvin Company."

"After it's done, I will personally recommend him to join the G agency."

Chapter 75 The Sixth Avenue

It's unclear when exactly, but a widely circulated urban legend began to emerge in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan.

It is said that at the end of Akihabara, there is a street that "does not exist".

No one knows its exact location, and no one knows if it even exists...

Only those who stumble upon that street realize that it is like an ancient street completely different from modern society.

Wooden houses, low bungalows, and things that seem out of place in modern society…

It's like an alternate world, separate from reality.

That "non-existent" street stands alone, attracting curious people to search for its entrance.

However, only Daigo knew that the non-existent street actually existed.

This street not only exists, but it also has a name that sounds completely out of place—Sixth Avenue.

As for those things that are incompatible with modern society?

Daigo can only say that urban legends tend to embellish and are far removed from real events.

The real Sixth Avenue isn't as magical as it seems.

It is simply a "replica" of Akihabara's electronics district, with the storefronts and furnishings being exactly the same as the real Akihabara.

The only difference between Sixth Avenue and Akihabara Electric Town is that there is no one there.

Or to be more precise, Sixth Avenue is an empty street, with only one person living there permanently for the time being.

......................................................................................................

"Daigo, you're here again?"

With her usual gentle smile still on her face, Saki shook the joystick in her hand while quietly greeting Daigo.

In that brief moment of distraction, Kagura Chizuru, controlled by Saki, was defeated by Yagami Iori, resulting in a KO for the match.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Daigo would never have believed that the gentle girl in front of him was an alien visitor who had lived for over two hundred years and seemed to be somewhat obsessed with various arcade games.

Most importantly, Saki's gaming skills are terrible, so bad that he can't even beat computer-controlled opponents.

"Yes, the training school is preparing for the first flight simulation training, so they gave us two days off in advance."

Today, Daigo has not only successfully enrolled in TPC's training school.

Furthermore, they have already received three months of theoretical and comprehensive skills training.

In those short three months, Daigo deeply felt the huge gap between professionals and non-professionals.

Compared to retired pilots and TPC members who have changed careers, I, as an ordinary person, already find it very difficult to keep up with the courses.

In contrast, professionals can not only easily understand the content taught by teachers, but in some aspects they are even more professional than the teachers.

Fortunately, thanks to the generous assistance of the Galvin Company, Daigo experienced the joy of "spending money" for the first time in his life.

Not only did he receive special attention from teachers during class, but he also received extra tutoring after class.

While the other trainers were surprised and indignant, they did not take their anger out on Daigo.

This is certainly due in part to Daigo's truly humble and gentle nature.

Even if those people wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't find a suitable reason or excuse for the time being.

On the other hand, it was due to the reputation of the Galvin Company.

Nobody wants to offend a massive international corporation for a short training program that lasts less than a year.

It was only at this point that Daigo realized that what Lu Xuan had done was not simply registering him for the training under the name of "Gailvin Company".

Just like those retired pilots and members within TPC.

In the eyes of others, Daigo is also the kind of guy with a background and influence.

Moreover, in order to ensure that the teachers could give Daigo special attention, the Galvin Company donated a building to the training school, the significance of which is self-evident.

Although Daigo knew in his heart that the building was most likely donated by Tina in Lu Xuan's name.

It's possible to check the company's accounts; to say that Lu Xuan was unaware of the situation is pure nonsense.

This alone made Da Gu, who was still just a college student, deeply aware of the complexity of society and Lu Xuan's high regard for him.

In comparison, the enormous "registration fee" in Daigo's eyes was nothing of a concern.

"really?"

"Congratulations, Daigo!"

Slightly dejected, Saki put down the joystick and turned to congratulate Daigo.

Saki wasn't just being polite or perfunctory; she was genuinely happy for Daigo.

Through these past few months of getting to know each other, Saki has a very clear understanding of just how much effort and dedication Daigo put into passing the training school's assessment.

As an ordinary person, I caught up with those professionals in just three months.

The effort and time he spent during this period cannot be explained simply by the teachers giving him extra tutoring.

"Thank you."

Even Daigo couldn't help but laugh after hearing Saki's congratulations.

Even Daigo doesn't know how he survived those three hellish months.

Now it's finally over, and next up is the flight simulation training he's been most looking forward to.

"You've come here to see Galvin?"

On this non-existent Sixth Avenue.

Aside from Saki, the only resident, only Lu Xuan, the elusive "creator," would occasionally come to stay for a while.

"Unfortunately, you're too late. He left here just a few hours ago."
