Ultraman Legend of the Light Chaser

Mizuki Nonomiya felt like she was on high alert. She cautiously peeked out from behind the bushes, her eyes locking onto the person in the orange jacket who also seemed a bit off.

"The person you like?" Qian Shulian stood up, involuntarily thinking of the memory police officer who had been monitoring her.

Qian Shulian didn't know whether he was happy or not when he saw that familiar man in the pale yellow shirt and black suit. "Ah, I can tease the prisoner again."

"I see her as someone I love," or I'm happy that she's in my life.

He was only certain that he liked the way she looked, liked the way she would try to run away when he teased her, and then come back awkwardly to drink hot chocolate.

Is it the joy of having a good companion, or something else, a closer relationship...?

“My mother died in the Shinjuku disaster. This amusement park was a place where my father and mother often went on dates. I also came here quite often when I was a child.” Matsunaga Hazuki suddenly stepped forward. The place was on higher ground, and one could easily see the people who came to enjoy the park on the sunny day below, as well as the slowly rotating Ferris wheel.

The weather was still chilly today, but that did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm for going out. Matsunaga Hazuki saw many families of three, with children excitedly running ahead and adults calling after them.

“I think liking someone might be a feeling of ‘I’m so glad to be with you,’” Matsunaga Hazuki said. “Has Rei never met someone like that?”

Qian Shulian thought for a moment and finally said, "I have been trying to avoid this. If we are going to break up, it would be better if we didn't know in the first place, so as to avoid being heartbroken. I often travel around and change jobs."

Matsunaga Hazuki smiled, then suddenly shouted in a certain direction, "Hey—! Did you hear me?!"

There was no doubt that she was being addressed by her. Nonomiya Mizuki got goosebumps and started to wonder where she should run. She looked around and realized that she had followed someone into an open area. No matter which direction she ran out of the bushes, she would be discovered.

Before she could react, Matsunaga Hazuki had already stepped forward and pulled her out of her "cover" without a word: "You'll miss it if you don't tell me! My eyes and sense of smell are very sharp!"

"This...this...I...I..."

The girl in the pale yellow shirt and black suit was dragged out half-heartedly, unsure of where to put her face.

Matsunaga Hazuki looked at the two of them from the left and right, and felt that they were too awkward.

There are so many regrets in the world, just like how I regret not saying a word to my mother when she left home five years ago, and in the end, I never saw her again.

She had noticed the girl who was circling around Qian Shulian long ago, as she had been observing these two people earlier.

She approached Qian Shulian, feeling numb from the constant barrage of glances from behind—and that idiot actually said something like "to avoid getting hurt!"

I'm so heartbroken if I don't tell you!

If you've already fallen for someone, what's the point of talking about "what if we have to break up"? Pshaw! If you're so capable, then don't fall for them at all!

Qian Shulian didn't expect that she would actually drag the person in question out. Some things are better said in private than in person, but when said in person, they become tongue-tied.

"It's impossible to stop yourself from falling in love with someone, and it's wrong to deceive others." Matsunaga Hazuki stepped aside, giving the two conflicted people some space.

Kazuki Komon was pulled by Takashi Oshiro to watch them from a distance, while Hazuki Matsunaga turned around, smiled, and gave them a thumbs up.

"I……"

Chapter 123 Arrival

"Tsk tsk tsk these people," Takashiro Ooshiro observed from afar, then said to Rei Senju's "cousin," "Still standing there, what if a fight breaks out? Will Rei get beaten up? Hey, hey?"

He nudged Komon Kazuki with his elbow, but received no response.

"what happened?"

"Sorry." Komon Kazuki left behind two words and ran back the way he came with a solemn face.

Ooshiro Takashi watched him run away in astonishment. When he looked back at Senju Rei and the others, he was surprised to find that Senju Rei stammered for a long time before suddenly running away until only one figure remained!

Matsunaga Hazuki shouted from behind, "Why are you running! If you like me, just say so! Ah—you'll regret it to death!"

Nonomiya Mizuki also ran out. Matsunaga Hazuki sighed. She was already tired after just shouting a couple of times, but those two... should we say birds of a feather flock together? They ran really fast.

……

"Chun!"

"I heard."

Having just smashed a small alien beast, Jun Sakuma left the stunned survivor behind, turned around, grabbed the windowsill, and jumped from the ten-story building.

The wind howled in his ears, and the person hanging clothes on the balcony caught a fleeting shadow out of the corner of his eye. When he turned his face, he only saw a mirage-like "phantom" in the distance.

"What?" He walked to the window, disgusted by the thin layer of dust on the outside of the glass, and pushed the window open to get a better view.

In the distance, the skyline where skyscrapers meet flat buildings, the meeting point of the washed-out blue sky and the concrete jungle.

It looks like there's a lens distorting the scenery.

The mountains behind it were twisted several times 360 degrees when they reached his retina, and everything that passed through them was distorted in the imaging.

Amazing weather phenomena after the rain?

He stretched out half of his body and saw something emerge from inside, like a black iron block with horns. Many people on the street saw it and the pedestrians were talking about it.

"Move this steel bar to the other side, we don't need it here anymore!" In the suburban factory, Yuan Chuan put one hand on his hip and directed his coworkers to prepare for the reconstruction of the factory. Despite the attack by the Banib monster and the tight budget, the factory managed to survive. They formed a reconstruction mutual aid group with the neighboring factory that had also been affected by the disaster. They would take on jobs together, deliver materials together, and get preferential treatment for large quantities and even cheaper package prices.

Yuanchuan is full of confidence in the reconstruction.

"It's not Factory Number Three, it's Factory Number Four! Factory Number Four! You've overshot it! Stop... Waaah!"

It felt like a giant hand suddenly pressed down from above; the sudden heaviness of the air almost made Yuan Chuan drop his horn. He felt short of breath, and many of his coworkers were blown to their deaths by the unexpected overhead hurricane.

on the ground.

"Boom!"

He hit his head on the ground, but thanks to his helmet, he didn't suffer a concussion or need stitches this time.

My elbow got a solid scrape, even through my clothes, and it's bleeding slightly.

A massive shadow once again loomed over the disaster-stricken factory area. Yuanchuan turned over and saw something that looked like a spaceship or a beetle with its limbs tucked away, falling from the swirling clouds in the sky.

Even from a great distance, the sound of the wind vibrated in my ears as if I were trapped inside a drum, with someone outside the drum desperately pounding on its thin skin.

Those who could still move all instinctively reached out and covered their ears.

"boom--!"

Then came an even deeper, more muffled thud; the drumstick, once a small wooden lump, had transformed into a large sledgehammer used for forging iron, striking not the drumhead but his chest. The dull thud made Yuanchuan nauseous, followed by a violent tremor in the ground; he wondered if he was lying on a spring mattress.

Cover the sky.

He thought of this word.

It looked like a spaceship, yet also like a beetle with its limbs tucked away. He looked closer and realized it was a cement-gray monster, inverted cone-shaped, with spikes at the bottom—an alien spaceship?

The thing was lying directly above his head, its cone-shaped base pointing towards the factory area.

"Ah, another Banib monster?"

Having already experienced it once before, Yuanchuan showed no signs of panic. Instead, he seemed to think, "See? I knew I wasn't wrong before. It's back again."

Now that the Banib monster has arrived, then those who need to deal with it...

He looked out along the edge of the cone-shaped monster, tilting his head back to see a pair of silver arms covered by something resembling blue armor.

I am on the edge of shadow and light, half darkness and half brilliance.

Knowing of the existence of the Barnib monster, he considered many possibilities. If he encountered that thing again, capable of crushing a factory with a single kick, would he be trampled into a pulp without uttering a word, struggle before turning into ashes under the laser's heat, or perhaps, like last time, be lucky enough to escape and cleverly circumvent the "One-Eyed Bird's" memory erasure trick?

Now, encountering the Banib monster again, all thoughts are cast aside.

There is no other possibility: he, Yuanchuan, a foreman, is still alive.

The monster was stopped by the giant, many poems sing of the horror of Banib, and many stories weave tales of the hero's nobility.

He saw the giant and, for some reason, remembered the person who had saved him that day, whose body was covered in golden threads.

"Hey, thanks." He sat up and urged his coworker not to lie there sprawled out and to run a little further away.

On the way, he saw the factory owner standing blankly in the middle of the road like a pillar. Without thinking of offending him, he slapped the man's hard hat to bring him back to his senses: "Run!"

"Huh? Oh oh oh..."

Under Barnibu's shadow, the crowd scurried away.

The giant and the monster seemed to be locked in a struggle, one trying to advance towards the city, the other blocking its path with its arms crossed. A grating grinding sound emanated from where they clashed, occasionally punctuated by the monster's roar.

Perhaps realizing that it could not move forward without overcoming the obstacles in front of it, the red lightning bolt-like thing swam from top to bottom, distorting the surrounding air.

For some reason, the river that was originally not far away was no longer visible to him. Instead, there was a barrier with colorful rainbows moving across it. Although it looked very thin, he could not see through it at all.

The fleeing workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Some found themselves trapped in a battlefield of giant creatures, frantically trying to break through the barrier, only to be stopped in time by Yuan Chuan's megaphone. When people encounter trouble, if someone stands up for them, they unconsciously feel a sense of reliance. They gathered around Yuan Chuan, awaiting his next move.

Yuanchuan didn't know what to do either, so he could only lead everyone to try to get to the edge, but not too close to the barrier, and then find a place where they could hide behind the wall and lie down.

Hiding indoors risks being crushed by falling rocks, while being in a sheltered place risks being caught in the crossfire; it's fair to say that nowhere is safe to go.

The only thing that could give them a sense of security was the giant who was holding the monster back, and warm light filled the area within the barrier.

Chapter 124 Outpost Battle

Once the barrier was completed, the monster suddenly changed its appearance.

It crashed to the ground from mid-air, and Jun Sakuma discovered that it was a strange beast with a shell on its back, somewhat similar to a snail, but also possessing the characteristics of a marine creature.

This space is also incredibly awkward, similar to Dark Realm G. Although it's not as dark and murky on the outside, and doesn't look like a dangerous place, it's still something that makes opponents uncomfortable.

This alien beast clearly wanted to rush into the city, but it was discovered in time and blocked outside. It had no choice but to set up a barrier in the suburbs, which was a good start.

While he was pondering, Nexus arrived. He seemed to want to use Meta Field, but the light disappeared as soon as it condensed.

“The phases here are chaotic, and Meta Domain cannot cover it,” Jun Sakuma said. He noticed the worker huddled in the corner, and Samuel knowingly tossed three solid light blades over to him.
