Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

With these thoughts in mind, Gen Subaru followed Tregear away from Ultra Elementary School. The next day, it was lunchtime again at Ultra Elementary School.

As usual, Torregia gazed up at the sky, seemingly lost in thought, but in reality, he was calling out to his unseen friend in his heart, and he felt joy because of the friend's indistinct voice and the words left behind.

At this moment, Taro, who noticed this scene, decided to say hello to Tregear, since friendship always starts from this point.

"Want to come play with me after school?"

Upon hearing this, Tregear abruptly erased the writing, turned around, and stared intently at Taro. Taro, startled by his gaze, froze, remaining motionless for a moment, simply waiting quietly. After a while, finally, the Blue Clan youth spoke:

"Excuse me, I'm going to the Ultra Library today. And I don't know you very well."

Taro was slightly taken aback by the unexpected answer, then patted his chest and began his self-introduction:

"Hello, my name is Taro... um~, my dad works in the Space Garrison..."

"I already knew that."

Looking at the rather overly familiar Taro, Tregear answered somewhat awkwardly.

“You’re a big star in the class. Even outside of school, people greet you with greetings like ‘Hello, son of the brigade leader’ or ‘son of the Silver Cross Army Captain.’ People only see your great parents standing behind you and don’t pay attention to you. If you really want to introduce yourself, let me hear more about yourself.”

Clearly, the problem with Torregia was something Taro had never considered at this point, and the little bull was lost in thought.

Yes, thinking about it... who am I, really? I just play happily every day, not knowing who I am, and I've never really thought about it deeply. My privileged family environment has made me forget whether I've actually accomplished anything on my own.

Wow, that's a really good question! It's amazing that someone can think about themselves like that! I never expected this student to think this far ahead; they're truly impressive!

Immediately, Taro became interested in the blue-clad boy and asked him questions enthusiastically.

"What's your name?"

Seeing Taro revert to his usual sunny, wooden self before he could even be bothered, Tregear was somewhat bewildered. In his imagination, no matter what answer Taro ultimately gave, it shouldn't have been like this. Who skips the question and jumps straight to asking for a name without answering it? Doesn't he know that makes him seem like he has very low emotional intelligence?

Torregia had a lot on his mind, but in reality, he honestly answered that he really wasn't good at dealing with such enthusiastic guys. How much better it was to have his unseen friend, quiet and unassuming:

"My name is Tregear."

"Tregear" means "mad curiosity" in the language of the Land of Light, so Taro initially found it a rather strange name. In fact, Subaru was also taken aback when he heard the name. However, neither Taro nor Subaru said anything about the name. After receiving a response, Taro immediately smiled and added:

"So how can I become your friend?"

Upon hearing this, Torregia was even more stunned. He had read many books, but none of them had ever written about such a thing. Torregia was somewhat afraid. When someone is used to something for a long time, they are more or less unwilling to step out of their comfort zone. However, what Torregia did not notice was that a smile had unconsciously appeared on his face.

Then, Torregia remembered that he already had a friend, an unseen friend, and that he didn't need many friends...

However, just as Torregia was about to end his conversation with Taro, he felt an invisible force pushing him from behind. Was it his friend, encouraging him?

Realizing this, Torregia paused for a moment, then said softly:

"Then... um... why don't you... try playing with me first?"

Thus, Tregear and Taro became so-called temporary friends. Looking at Taro's bright smile, Subaru knew that the two would definitely become close friends, and Tregear would have someone to continue accompanying him. Therefore, Subaru quietly retreated to the side, beginning to accumulate energy—

After observing the Land of Light for some time, Subaru Minamoto realized that, at least on a child level, the children of the Land of Light and the children of Mikami Town were quite similar. Often, children who had new relationships would focus their attention on those relationships.

Furthermore, given Taro's approachable nature, I believe Tregear will get along very well with him.

As time went by, Tregear and Taro quickly became true friends. Sometimes, Tregear would forget that he had an invisible friend and would often feel embarrassed about it, but after receiving a response from Gen Ang, he would feel relieved and continue playing.

One day, after school, Taro and Tregear met in Crystal Town. In the distance, the Second Ultra Tower flickered with flames, where large swathes of silver grass grew, forming a lush forest.

Tregear led Taro deep into the Silvergrass Forest, where there were tall, super-alloy railings that prevented people from entering. Children could squeeze through the gaps, but Taro looked around and decided to give up on the idea, feeling that he might not be able to pull his horn out.

At that moment, Torregia suddenly said:

“I am a member of the Blue Clan, and I am not very strong enough to twist this superalloy railing. But you might be able to do it.”

Hearing this, Taro placed his hand on the railing, tested it, then noticed something and casually remarked:

"But there's a sign here, and I've never seen the markings on it before."

"It means passage is prohibited."

Torregia explained.

"No passage, does that mean we can't go in?"

Taro immediately withdrew his hand and said somewhat nervously:

"In that case, let's go back. You'd better behave."

However, faced with Taro's suggestion, Tregear didn't want to give up, and he suddenly started nagging:

"Don't you want to know why we can't go in? What's inside? To know the unknown, we need the corresponding courage. Do you have the courage? You are a brave son of the Red Clan, aren't you?"

It has to be said that these words made Taro's blood boil. Gen Subaru, who was hiding to the side, frowned slightly. He did not expect that his childhood senior Taro would be so easy to provoke. Taro put his strength into his arm.

The superalloy rod was bent.

"As expected of the Red Clan."

Toregia praised it thus, and then took the lead through the railing and went inside.

Taro followed behind, but at this moment, the Red Tribe, who were known for their bravery, were somewhat hesitant and timid, not as proud and confident as the Blue Tribe who were ahead. But Taro couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "How exciting!" Thinking about it, it made sense; a well-behaved child like Taro had never done anything like this before.

Meanwhile, Gen Subaru, who was watching the changes from the sidelines, also became nervous. This unexpected incident might be the prelude to Tregear's corruption.

"here it is...."

After advancing for some time, Taro and Tregear stood there dumbfounded, looking at the scene before them. After passing through the dense silver grass, they found themselves in a dreamlike world where crystal flowers bloomed everywhere and streams intertwined with three-dimensional images.

Here, you can even hear the melodies played by the stars of the Milky Way, making you feel as if birds on some unknown planet are singing in chorus. This makes Tregear think about whether the world was like this 270,000 years ago, before the Ultraman became Ultraman, in other words, before the sun exploded as a supernova. Before the plasma sparks cast their gentle light on this planet, was the scenery on this planet also very beautiful?

Torregia couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Wow!"

On the other hand, Taro's reaction was quite direct. He expressed his surprise with simple actions and expressions. He had never imagined that such a beautiful place existed in the Land of Light.

"Shall we continue deeper into the world...?"

Toregia really wanted to move forward, but after saying those words, he realized Taro's identity. Now that they were friends, he had to consider Taro's situation before satisfying his curiosity. After all, if he made a mistake, he might only get a simple reprimand, but if Taro did something wrong, his father, the captain, and his mother, the administrator of the Silver Cross Headquarters, would probably have higher expectations of him.

So, Tregear added a question afterward, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized it was pointless, because Taro...

"Of course I want to go!"

Seeing Taro's excited expression, Tregear sighed inwardly. That's how it is, this hot-blooded idiot. In that case, let's go inside and take a look. If there's any punishment later, I'll come out and help Taro take the fall.

So, Toregia and Taro continued deeper into the area, and soon they saw several square, pointed stone pillars emitting a silvery light not far in front of them, with small characters engraved on them.

"What does it say?"

Well... it's a bit difficult for Taro to read and understand the inscriptions on these stone pillars.

Therefore, under Taro's adoring gaze, Toregia approached the text, intently studying it, and whispered:

"...I read in a history book that 30,000 years ago, a villain called the Alien Empera attacked the Land of Light, which caused a war. This should be what is written here."

"Eh....."

Upon hearing this, Taro was slightly taken aback. As the child of Father of Ultra, he had naturally heard about that history. In fact, his father still rubbed his lower back from time to time because he was injured back then. As Taro thought about this, he gently placed his hand on it and slowly touched the surface of the stone pillar.

'Biu!'

As Taro acted, it seemed as if some mechanism was activated, and countless silver lights appeared in the air. The lights gradually took shape, reflecting countless figures. Taro shouted in fright:

"There's a monster!"

Tregear was also a little startled, but not by the light itself; rather, he was startled by Taro's shout. He initially wanted to turn and run, after all, his combat strength as a member of the Blue Clan was truly pathetic; on the battlefield, he would only be a hindrance to Taro of the Red Clan. However, his curiosity ultimately made him stop and take a few more glances, and then he discovered...

"This is a 3D image. It shows the heroic figures of the warriors from the Land of Time during the Great Ultra War."

Tregear helplessly reminded Taro that, upon closer inspection, the projection was actually an image of ancient warriors from the Land of Light—the Silver, Red, and Blue races. After this reminder, Taro recovered from his shock. He looked up and stared blankly at the 3D image with Tregear for a moment, then realized something and whispered:

"So this means it is..."

"Ah, Taro, do you know him?"

As he spoke, Toregia pulled Taro slightly away from the stone pillar, as a sign of respect for the place:

"The primitive races living in the desert of Passada have a custom: if a companion dies, they bury the body in the ground to return the body that the companion obtained from the planet to the earth. Then they build a stone tower engraved with the friend's name. And they call the stone tower a 'grave.' I think this place should be... no, it must also be a 'grave.'"

"That's it..."

Realizing this, Taro suddenly felt a pang of guilt and prepared to leave.

"It's getting late. My parents will worry about me if I don't go home soon."

After saying that, without waiting for Toregia's reply, Taro suddenly ran out, as if the ground here was burning hot.

"Hey, wait for me, Taro!"

Toregia never expected Taro to run so fast. He hurriedly shouted and chased after him. Then Toregia saw Taro, who had just disappeared, run back, pick him up, and continue charging outwards until he left the area. Then they said goodbye and went home.

On his way home, Tregear was also somewhat uneasy. He felt an unspeakable guilt about how he and Taro had offended the resting place of the dead. He wanted to confide in his unseen friend, Gen Ang, but Gen Ang did not respond to him.

To be honest, Gen Subaru didn't think this was something to be too worried about. On Earth TLT, there was a martyrs' cemetery in a certain country, which was even a place of exorcism and protection. If the Ultra Warriors who died in the Ultra War saw such a lovely child born on the land they protected, how could they be angry? They might even be happy. If the children had a spirit, they might even jump out and play with Tregear and Taro.

Um....

This shouldn't be a problem with my values, right?

Genji tilted his head and thought it over carefully, but ultimately decided not to show himself. After observing for a while, Genji still couldn't adapt well to the overly simple society of the Land of Light, nor could he accurately predict the psychology of a special child like Tregear based on the so-called personality model. Therefore, Genji didn't choose to take action at this time. He would try to modify it himself if problems really arose.

After all, the purpose of this trip is still to try and modify Tregear's future as a Chaos Messenger. The energy and psychic power accumulated so far aren't much, so to ensure they can be used effectively at crucial moments, I should observe carefully before making any moves. Subaru, remember, remember, you're here to conduct an experiment...
