Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 482, Section 478: Daughter of Time

Star Gift: 5.
Manufacturing: 37/40.
After glancing once more at the main control interface on any key screen, Qi Ming, who had returned to the command room from the highway, sat down and let out a long sigh of relief.

Apart from the resilient Feng Yuan, the others have not yet recovered from the annihilation two days ago and are temporarily unable to fight. He is the only one who can fight for the time being.

Even after the Star Gathering, he still received 5 Star Blessings, which gave him a strong sense of security.

Just then, Kishida, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly exclaimed softly, "Jermina III on Alchemy Star is completed. When the accident four years ago caused the construction to be suspended, I thought it was hopeless."

Upon hearing the name, Qi Ming was taken aback: "Jerumina Number Three..."

Kishida: "Yes, unlike our Delta Force, that was a real habitable space station, which the construction team there called 'Daughter of Time'."

Akane Shinjo reached out and rubbed Qi Ming's shoulder: "Jerumina No. 3, the daughter of time? It should be the one from 'Goss', right?"

Qi Ming whispered to her, "The thirteenth and fourteenth episodes of 'Goss,' titled 'Daughter of Time,' seem to indicate that a new enemy could strike at any moment."

Upon hearing this, Saijo Nagi remarked, "Creating a space in outer space where humans can also live is incredibly groundbreaking. However, since it's a space station, why is it called 'Daughter of Time'?"

Kishida: "I don't know... Should we ask Fujimiya from Alchemy Star in the group chat?"

Apart from those in the mountains, all the members of the GUTS team are in the "Ultraman group," making communication very convenient.

Saijo Nagi shook her head: "He's still recovering from his injuries, don't bother him with this kind of thing. By the way, where's Hogen?"

Kishida: "I just received a report from a hunter who said that his wife was killed by a monster while he and his newlywed wife were hiking in Asama Mountain, so Gen went there."

He pulled up the information of the person who reported the case. Shinjo Akane, who was next to Qi Ming, saw the couple and said, "Isn't this the couple who got married in the Karuizawa Church in the video I showed you before?"

Qi Ming: "They look more and more familiar. Wait, isn't this the couple from episode 22 of Taro, 'The Wrath of the Monster with the Child'?"

Shinjo Akane didn't have Qi Ming's photographic memory. Only after Qi Ming reminded her did she begin to remember: "Oh, it's them. No wonder they looked so familiar."

In Qi Ming's memory, the hunter husband in this couple was also a "miracle man".

Fengyuan... I'm really worried.

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

On the other side, Mount Asama.

Because of the perennial magnetic fog, the communication signal here is very poor.

Wearing his team uniform, Fengyuan found the person who reported the case, Fujinami.

Last night, Fujinami got married to his wife, Yuko.

At that time, he showed Yuko the game he had hunted and told her that his dream was to go to Africa and hunt a lion. He was in high spirits.

Now, with a distorted expression, he clutched a white hat and anxiously explained the situation to Feng Yuan.

“Yuko and I were enjoying the scenery on the mountain when a monster suddenly appeared, and we were both terrified.”

"Yuko fell down the mountain in a panic. Although the height was not enough to kill her, she should have been injured and unable to move."

"But when I went down, Yuko was gone. I only found her hat, but I couldn't find her anywhere."

"The police came to look for her too, but they didn't find anything either. I think it must be that monster's doing. Yuko has already been eaten by that monster!"

Just then, two men in the distance walked towards Fujibo while shouting "Hey!" and carrying hunting rifles.

Feng Yuan: "Who are they?"

Fujinami: "He's my hunter companion, here to help me find the monster."

Fengyuan: "Okay, I'll go into the mountains to look for it." Fujinami: "At the same time, I have a request. If we find the monster—I hope I can avenge Yuko myself."

After saying that, he loaded his shotgun, his eyes flashing with anger, the meaning of which was very clear.

Fengyuan understood the feeling of losing a loved one and reluctantly agreed, but told him to be careful and not to push himself, and that the monster should be left to the Victory Team to deal with.

Fujinami and his two hunter friends formed one team, while Gen went their own way, and they searched separately.

"Such thick sulfur smoke." Ten minutes later, Fengyuan arrived at the entrance of a huge cave at the bottom of the Asama Valley, and he couldn't help but cover his nose.

The next moment, a sound came from the cave entrance, and a huge monster, like a kangaroo, walked out of the cave.

"Is this the monster that Mr. Fujinami saw... the one that killed Mr. Fujinami's wife?" Gen immediately pulled out his Victory Hyper Gun, ready to attack.

"Don't shoot." A hurried female voice came the next moment.

Feng Yuan turned around and saw a woman in a white dress walking towards her, clutching her leg.

Fengyuan exclaimed in surprise, "I've seen the photos! You're Mr. Fujinami's wife! Miss Yuko, you're not dead? That's wonderful!"

Yuko nodded and said to Gen, "This monster is very friendly. It won't go berserk if you don't do anything."

Then she shouted at the kangaroo-like monster, "Pandora, this person is from the GUTS team. They won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you don't need to worry."

After hearing this, the kangaroo monster Pandora nodded and returned to her cave.

Feng Yuan was surprised that the monster could understand human speech: "What exactly happened?"

Yuko looked relieved: "It was this monster that saved me from falling down the mountain. I thought they were going to eat me, but they healed my leg injury with hot springs and herbs. Thanks to them, I can walk a little now."

Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "A gentle monster, huh? That's nice."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding; the tragedy of the newlywed wife being eaten by the monster did not occur.

Although he had only been on Earth for a short time, he knew that some of the native monsters on Earth were kind and that they were united around Renlong and willing to coexist with humans.

"Look!" Yuko pointed to the kangaroo monster Pandora sitting in front of the cave entrance.

A tiny monster peeked out of Pandora's belly pouch, only to be repeatedly pushed back in.

Yuko: "That's Pandora's child, 'Qinpai.' He's very cute, but he's a naughty boy who's always making his mother angry."

Fengyuan nodded: "Miss Yuko, Mr. Fujinami is very worried about you. Let's go back quickly."

Yuko: "I want to go back too, but my legs can't climb mountains right now."

Fengyuan: "No problem, we'll help you... Why don't we have Mr. Fujinami come here too, so he can properly thank Pandora and thank her for saving you!"

As they were talking, Feng Yuan suddenly realized that Pandora had disappeared.

Yuko: "They probably went upstairs to eat something."

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

Meanwhile, after searching for half an hour, the three hunters, including Fujinami, finally found Pandora who had come out to eat.

It grabbed a towering tree and ate all the leaves on it, just like eating a kebab.

One of his hunter companions said, "Wasn't that the guy who killed Miss Yuko?"

Fujinami's expression was instantly filled with rage, and he raised his gun to point at Pandora: "Damn monster!"
