In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

“I just remembered, I saw you in Meiling’s room when I was a child. You were placed on her desk.” Hikaru suddenly said.

At the time, he had no idea what a Spark Doll was; he just thought it was an ordinary toy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"No wonder you said you understood her, wait a minute... then does that mean Meiling has no secrets from you at all!" Hikaru realized.

"Hikaru!" Mirei Ishidou called out loudly.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been in a state of unconsciousness for most of these years,” Raven explained.

"I see." Hikaru nodded.

Mei-rei Ishidou, who was standing to the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who knows there's been an eye watching them in the room all along, and for so many years, would find it hard to stay calm.

Fortunately, Raven was mostly unconscious, which was some consolation for her.

I just don't know if Raven saw me while I was changing clothes.

Thinking of this, she suddenly blushed, but dared not ask.

"In that case, what are your plans now, Raven?" Taro understood that he couldn't learn the method to restore his original form from Raven, so he gave up.

“I can’t transform right now; all my energy has been used to break the seal.” Raven took out his Evolution Sword, glanced at the now dull blade, and said, “Besides, I have a partner who has probably been turned into a Spark Doll as well. I want to find it first.”

“Then why don’t you join us for now?” Hikaru suggested.

“Yes, one more person means one more force, and with an Ultra Warrior like Raven joining us, I can finally rest assured about the two of you,” Taro said.

"What's wrong with you, Taro? Stop being so blind." Hikaru was immediately unhappy.

“Alright, I really don’t have anywhere to go right now, so I’ll have to bother you for a while.” Raven readily accepted.

He wanted to stay here, but his main purpose was to find his own strength.

Previously, he floated in space in puppet form and came to the town of Jiangxing on Earth by sensing his own power.

Of course, this feeling disappeared along with the energy now that it was depleted, but what is certain is that his power is in this town.

And so, Raven and Auditorium Hikaru arrived at the teaching building.

This scene was witnessed by a handsome young man holding an electronic device.

This person was none other than his roommate, holding the Dark Virtual Spark, and was currently observing the owner of the Galaxy Spark, Hikaru.

His current goal is to defeat the suddenly appearing Ultraman Ginga.

Chapter 285 The Traveler

"As you've all seen recently, these strange phenomena and events..."

"In my opinion, it is very likely that someone is pulling the strings in the dark, that someone is manipulating evil forces, taking advantage of the darkness in people's hearts to control them."

In a classroom, Raven, Mirei Isadore, and Hikaru Reidou are listening to Taro analyze the strange things that have happened recently.

“Ever since the fire at the shrine, things have become very unsettled here,” said Mirei Ishidou. “Stalkers, litterers, and suspicious flames…”

“I suspect that these were all done by people possessed by monsters. It must be that the enemy possessed them with the dark vortex and dark flash of the monsters and then exploited their evil hearts,” Taro continued.

"Would anyone really be that ruthless?" Hikaru asked as he wiped his outdoor lights. At that moment, he hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

“And the enemy is in this town,” Mirei Ishidou said gravely.

"They might be right next to us."

Raven, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a chilling voice.

"Don't scare us, Mr. Raven." The auditorium's bare hand slipped, and the light fixtures he was wiping almost fell.

"What do you mean by saying it's right next to us?" Taro asked, puzzled.

"Ah, it's nothing, just a random guess," Raven chuckled, brushing it off.

Taro and the others were unaware that this school was actually the lair of Dark Lugiel. His soul was lurking within the school's headmaster, awaiting resurrection.

However, although Raven knows all this, he currently has no means to counter it. If he were to be turned into a Spark Doll again, he would truly be devastated.

The safest approach right now is to wait for the plot to unfold smoothly.

Then he secretly went to seek his own power.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that you, Raven, are actually an Ultra Warrior from another parallel universe," Taro said to Raven.

"Parallel universes!" Hikaru Ayaka immediately became interested upon hearing this.

“Yes, there are actually many similar universes outside of our own. This is the fourth universe I’ve visited so far,” Raven told them.

"Could you tell us about the places you've been?" Hikaru asked, clearly interested.

After all, becoming an adventurer and traveling to different places had always been his dream.

Mirei Ishidou also looked at Raven expectantly.

"Since everyone is so interested, I'll just give a brief explanation."

And so, in the dimly lit classroom, under the light of an oil lamp, several people sat cross-legged together, while a doll stood on a table to the side.

Let's listen together to Raven's story.

……

"This is so cool!"

After listening to Raven's experiences, Hikaru said with lingering enthusiasm, "A planet full of monsters, and Reionics that can control monsters! Just thinking about it is exciting. I really want to see it for myself."

"I didn't expect you to be an Ultra Warrior who's been through so much," Taro said.

"boom!"

Just then, a sound suddenly came from outside.

"Huh? Another monster!" This was Hikaru's first thought. He got up, went to the window, and pulled back the curtains. Mirei Ishidou followed him and looked over.

He saw his friends, Kenta and Chigusa, setting off fireworks downstairs.

"Hikaru!" Kenta Watari, holding a lit sparkler, looked up at Hikaru in the auditorium upstairs and waved to him.

"Meiling, come play with me!" Kuno Chigusa said happily, standing to the side.

"Don't scare me." Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief and then walked away nonchalantly.

"Fireworks?" Taro, perched on Mirei Ishidou's shoulder, said with interest, "What a beautiful sight in summer."

"So, are you going?" Mirei Ishidou excitedly asked Hikaru and Raven.

"I'm not going." Hikaru shrugged, feigning nonchalance, and said, "I'm not some kid who plays with fireworks."

Raven slowly got up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Stop pretending, you actually really like setting off fireworks."

Auditorium Hikaru: "?"

So, downstairs.

In the auditorium, Guang held a firework in his hand and waved it wildly, as happy as a child.

"That's really interesting, Meiling!"

He kept talking as he played.

"I didn't expect you to have been to so many places. No wonder you and Hikaru get along so well. Hikaru also dreams of becoming an adventurer and traveling all over the world." Kuno Chigusa sat on a stone step and talked to Raven.

To help Raven explain his identity, Hikaru specially made up an identity for him, saying that Raven was a traveler friend he met while traveling the world.

I returned to Japan this time, and since it happened to be in a nearby city, I came to Furuhoshi Town to find him.

Thus, neither Kenta Watari nor Chigusa Kuno had any doubts and naturally accepted Raven's existence.

After playing like this for a long time, a beautiful woman who looked to be around 27 or 28 years old appeared.

She sat down familiarly next to Kenta Watari, and watching Hikaru Reido and Mirei Ishidou playing together, she couldn't help but say, "Those two are really close."

"Are you lovers?" the beautiful woman asked Kenta Watanabe, who seemed a little downcast.

"Ah, no, we've been childhood friends," Kenta Watari denied.

“Meiling works as a shrine maiden at the shrine up there,” Kuno Chigusa said to her, sitting opposite her.

"I'm so sorry, my name is Meiling, and this is Xiaoguang." Meiling, who was playing, noticed the woman and walked over.

"Hello," Hikaru said with a smile.

Kenta Watanabe introduced the woman to everyone: "This is Yuka Eisai."

"Good evening." Yuka smiled and nodded to them.

“Miss Yuka is also a graduate of this school,” Kuno Chigusa introduced them. “We met her when we were buying fireworks.”

"I'm sorry, I really missed this place, so I came here on my own." Yuka Eida said to everyone with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

Even though Raven, who was sitting next to her, didn't know the plot, he immediately noticed the fleeting shadow in her eyes.

He knew that this woman possessed the presence of dark, virtual sparks.

He was also someone who was being used.

Meanwhile, as Raven was secretly observing Yuka, her gaze also fell upon him.

“Who is that…” Yuka suddenly asked.

“Ah, this is Raven, Hikaru’s friend. He’s here for a few days,” Kenta Watanabe said immediately.

“Raven-san is quite the traveler,” Kuno Chigusa said with a smile.

……

Chapter 286 Dark Virtual Spark

"Nice to meet you." Raven remained seated, showing no intention of getting up, and simply offered a greeting.

He understood what the woman was about to do.

So, after eating something outside the school, everyone went together to the classroom where Guang was temporarily sleeping.
