New Ultraman: Monster Training Master

In the command center, Hoshikawa was happily scrolling through videos on his phone.

Today is the third day of his solitary confinement.

It's called confinement, but it really just means staying inside the base and not being able to go out.

When Aihara Ryu saw this scene after finishing his fieldwork, he was immediately filled with envy.

"Ugh, how boring." Hoshikawa put down his phone and got up to stretch his limbs.

At that moment, Dan Moroboshi walked into the command room, holding a USB drive: "Yukana, put the pictures on the big screen."

"Yes." Yuka took the USB drive and went to the computer to start operating it.

A moment later, a picture was enlarged on the screen.

A crew member was lying on the ground, covered in yellow powder.

Dan Moroboshi: "This photo was taken by a tourist who loves hiking. While hiking, he unexpectedly discovered that the film crew members had all died on the mountainside."

"The powder on the actors' bodies was analyzed and confirmed to be a poison gas invented by the old Japanese army and called mustard gas."

"Inhaling just a small amount of mustard gas can kill an adult male within ten seconds; it is a truly terrifying weapon."

Dan Moroboshi told everyone that the poison gas weapon was originally intended to be used on the battlefield against the enemy, but for some unknown reason, the deployment of the poison gas was stopped.

Since then, no one knows where the poison gas weapons were stored.

Upon hearing this, Kishida's heart sank, and he instantly thought of his father.

His father was an officer in the old Japanese army, and the poison gas that killed so many people was very likely related to his father.

Feeling tormented, Kishida got up and asked Dan Moroboshi for leave, then went to the garage and drove the patrol car back home.

Kishida, upon returning home, obtained his diary from his mother.

The diary records everything his father did during his time as a military officer.

In his diary, Kishida found the answer: his father had indeed been involved in the production of mustard gas.

Furthermore, mustard gas killed many people in China, and subsequent modifications were even used to experiment on the people of China.

If it weren't for the end of the war, and the fact that those in power didn't want mustard gas to be brought to the International Court of Justice, they would have ordered its secret handling.

Kishida was filled with shame upon seeing this and vowed to find the mustard gas.

······

In the command center, Yuka told Dan Moroboshi that Kishida had gone to the mountains alone to search for mustard gas.

Dan Moroboshi: "Nonsense! How can you go looking for mustard gas alone without any safety equipment?"

He immediately ordered Hoshikawa and Aihara Ryu to put on gas masks and head to the mountain where the mustard gas had leaked.

Hoshikawa: "Captain, you forgot? I've been put in solitary confinement and can't leave the base for a month."

Based on the information currently available, he already knows who the next monster to appear is.

The Poison Gas Monster [Mognejin]!

A monster that accidentally ingested mustard gas.

To be honest, he didn't really want to get involved in this matter, since it was ultimately the Japanese who caused this mess.

Now that mustard gas has resurfaced, the first to feel the headache should be those defense forces.

After all, their predecessor was the old Japanese army.

Dan Moroboshi: "Special circumstances require special treatment."

Hoshikawa leaned back in his chair: "I think the search for poison gas should be done by the Defense Force. Aren't they the predecessors of the old Japanese army?"

Keigo Masaki: "I agree with Hoshikawa's statement. Those people chose to bury the poison gas underground to prevent the scandal from being exposed."

"Now that there's a gas leak, it's their responsibility to handle it."

Just as everyone was debating whether the mission to find the poison gas should be carried out by the Huowei Team, Jiehua's expression turned strange.

"Captain, the Metropolitan Police Department just sent over a video that clearly shows the process of the crew members dying."

Without Dan Moroboshi saying anything, Yuka had already put the video on the screen.

The video clearly shows a group of people filming a scene when a cloud of yellow smoke suddenly appeared.

Those people collapsed within seconds of inhaling the yellow smoke.

At the end of the video, a strange roar can be heard, which sounds very much like the cry of a monster.

Aihara Ryu's expression turned grave: "Is this mustard gas? And what was that last scream?"

"It's a monster. That roar is most likely from a monster," Hoshikawa blurted out.

Yuka: "It sounds like the roar of a monster to me too."

Dan Moroboshi: "Since it's related to monsters, we need to go to the scene to investigate."

Because Hoshikawa and Masaki Keigo did not want to participate in the search for the poison gas, Moroboshi Dan arranged for the two of them to pilot the No. 1 fighter jet to search for traces of the monster.

He and Aihara Ryu drove a patrol car to the scene.

·······

When Kishida reached the mountainside, he discovered that many plants had yellow powder on them.

"It seems that the mustard gas is buried nearby."

He glanced around and, when he saw a shard of a pottery jar on the ground in the distance, he quickly ran over.

The surface of the pottery jar is decorated with a Japanese flag, and inside is some yellow powder.

Kishida put down the shards and started digging at the ground beneath his feet with his hands.

As the soil was removed, more and more fragments of pottery jars were unearthed.

Upon seeing this, Kishida's forehead creased into a deep frown: "What happened? Why are there fragments of pottery jars everywhere? Has all the mustard gas leaked out?"

At this moment, Dan Moroboshi and Ryu Aihara arrived at the mountainside.

Dan Moroboshi: "Kishida, why did you act without my permission?"

Faced with Dan Moroboshi's questioning, Kishida remained unusually silent.

He looked at the fragments in his hand and said, "Captain, I can't say, but I assure you, I will find the mustard gas and retrieve it safely."

Dan Moroboshi seemed to understand something, and his tone softened: "Don't carry the burden of your parents' mistakes. Besides, what kind of person searches for mustard gas alone?"

He took out a gas mask and placed it in Kishida's arms.

Kishida didn't mince words and put on a mask to search for mustard gas with Dan Moroboshi.

During their search, the three encountered a group of workers cutting down trees.

Dan Moroboshi kindly advised them to leave, but was instead humiliated by the leader.

"We haven't achieved our goal for today yet. If we leave now, who will pay us?"

"That's right, that's right."

The workers ignored Dan Moroboshi, picked up their chainsaws, and continued their work for the day.

Dan Moroboshi wanted to say something more, but the foreman waved his hand and said, "You should leave now and stop disturbing our work."

Seeing that the workers were stubborn, Kishida took Moroboshi Dan and Aihara Ryu to other places to search for mustard gas, since they had done their duty.

Not long after the three left, a monster that looked like a mole or a porcupine appeared.

It was Mogune!

It spews mustard gas from its mouth.

The workers collapsed one after another before they could even scream.

By the time Hoshikawa spotted the monster in his No. 1 fighter jet, it had already dug a hole and left.
