Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

As if to avoid being too overwhelmed by the blow, the extraordinary man grinned at Serega, trying to find humor in his predicament. "I heard you say that you told that magical girl that violence couldn't subdue you, but you immediately obeyed that guy. Isn't that a little funny?"

“It has nothing to do with violence!” Serena immediately retorted.

In terms of strength and life or death, neither the magical girl nor the military-uniformed beauty could have killed her, yet she showed no sign of yielding.

The reason she actually stopped was because she vaguely sensed that the person respected her, or rather, that he cared about other people.

Magical girls are different. They start hitting people out of nowhere and then keep telling you to listen to them. Who wants to listen to someone who's even more childish than an elementary school student?

"Seleja! Are you alright?"

At the same time that the superhuman man was arguing with Serega, another girl flew down from the high-rise building. She looked like a librarian with short white hair.

She wasn't the only one who came down; there were two others: a male high school student wearing glasses and a typical skinny middle-aged man, also wearing glasses.

"I am fine."

Selesia looked at the high school boy, "Sata, that guy is a character from which work, right? Can you recognize who he is? That strength... it's too exaggerated. If he's hostile to us, we might not even be able to run away!"

"Let me see." The high school boy nodded and looked immediately.

"Hey, I'm a creator in the industry, and I'm the most knowledgeable veteran when it comes to anime and manga. Why did you ask Sata first instead of me? Hmph, let me see who's really that amazing...?"

The skinny middle-aged man grumbled and looked over as well.

They were just ordinary humans. From their high vantage point, they could only see the battle changing and more people joining the fight. But expecting them to see the faces of the people below from such a tall building was asking too much.

And it was in that instant when they turned their heads to look at each other.

The next second, the high school boy and the skinny middle-aged man froze, as if they had turned into statues, unable to believe what they were seeing.

The superhuman man with the wooden sword scratched his head and nudged the two men slightly: "Hey, what's wrong? Say something!"

"Return, return, return..."

“Jay, Jay Jay Jay…”

"It's Gui Man!"

"It's Jack!"

The high school boy and the skinny uncle, who were pushed out of their daze by the superhuman man, exclaimed in unison, almost at the same time, with the same tone but different content.

"Huh?" The superhuman man was dumbfounded. "So, is it Gui Man or Jack? Who's mistaken?"

But no one paid any attention to him anymore. Even though Serega and the library girl were also expressing the same confusion, no one paid any attention to them either.

The high school boy and the skinny middle-aged man ran wildly, panting heavily, until they reached Hideki Go. They swallowed hard, swallowing the saliva from their exertion, and rubbed their hands together like flies rubbing their hands.

He looked at Hideki Go, seemingly wanting to say something but unsure how.

Hideki immediately understood. These two were typical related personnel. If they were not related personnel, it would be impossible for them to have such a familiar conversation with Serega and the others.

Moreover, their reactions clearly showed that they recognized him.

"So you know me?"

"Yes, yes!" The high school boy and the skinny uncle nodded like chickens pecking at rice. "Hideki Go, Go, MATA member Ultraman Jack! That's great, ah... but I don't know which era you're from?"

"Is it the Showa era? Oh, is it when you were still a member of the MAT team, or when Mebius was on Earth, or when Belial had already been released from prison? Or is it later, when you already knew Orb and Ginga?"

"Right, right, this isn't your Earth, this is your, uh... I should say the world of the Creator God, right? Ultraman should be able to accept this easily, right?"

"Can you transform now? I love you so much, just like you, Pizi. I also think Guiman TV is the best, yay!"

Would you like to visit Tsuburaya Productions?

They all talked at once.

Although there were only two people talking, their enthusiasm was so high that they started the next sentence before the previous one was even finished.

They were practically interrupting each other, both of them eager to say more and faster, acting as if they were very proud to be the navigator.

Hideki could understand some of what they were saying, but something about it sounded strange to him, as if there had been some misunderstanding.

"Stop, let's stop for a moment." Hideki Go shushed him, looking around. "Isn't this a good place to talk?"

There were already explosions and shouts for fire trucks and ambulances when the fighting started. Now those sounds are getting closer and will be coming soon. It's easy to be disturbed if you talk here.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The skinny uncle clapped his hands. It was true; he was too excited to have thought of that.

He was just about to suggest a location when the high school boy beat him to it: "Let's go to my house! Let's talk at my house!"

Hideki Go, of course, had no objections.

The skinny middle-aged man twitched his lips. Damn it, he'd remember that!

Now that the location had been decided, the high school boy and the skinny middle-aged man turned around and called to Serena and the other two, and headed towards the high school boy's house.

As for the battle site, although it was dented and the walls were cracked, Hideki Go inspected it and found that the building was not at risk of collapsing, and no innocent civilians were injured.

Then you can ignore the rest.

However, it seems that Serega and the others did not consider the issue of witnesses, or perhaps they did not care, or perhaps they did consider it but there was nothing they could do, so they simply let it be.

The group tiptoed past the high school boy's mother in the kitchen, slipped into his bedroom unnoticed, closed and locked the door, and let out a sigh of relief.

Now that we've reached this point, we can finally have a proper discussion.

Because Hideki Go was so powerful, even at this point, Serena and the other two were still somewhat wary and reserved.

Seeing this, Hideki Go nodded to them and said, "Don't be so nervous. My name is Hideki Go. Although it might seem like I'm lying if I say it myself, you can look up this name on your phone or computer. Maybe that will make you feel better."

"Actually, we don't need to check," the skinny uncle grumbled. "If we can't even trust you, then we can't trust anyone. Oh, speaking of which, haven't we given our names yet?"

He said solemnly, "I am Matsubara Takashi, the original author of 'The Knight of the Spirit Machine,' or you could say I am Serega's father."

"I'm Mizushino Sota, an ordinary high school student," the male high school student introduced himself.

Then came the library girl casually holding a book: "Meteora Estrexi, the sage of the library in 'Remembrance of Avaken,' just call me Meteora."

"This great one... cough, I am Mirokuji Yuya." A roguish, extraordinary man holding a wooden sword.

“Lastly, it’s me, Selesia Eupteria.” Selesia said while searching on the computer, adding with a sarcastic remark, “And Matsubara, I have no intention of acknowledging you as my so-called father!”

Uncle Matsubara Takashi gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

“It’s alright,” Hideki Go said, getting straight to the point. “So, what’s the situation now?”

"Based on my online research, there shouldn't be any extraordinary forces on this Earth. Could it be that they actually exist, but are just being concealed?"

"...Um, please let me explain."

High school student Shui Xiaosa adjusted her glasses and stepped forward to explain.

"The online search results are actually correct. We don't have any superhumans here. All the changes started a few days ago."

"A few days ago, I was resting here, browsing my laptop and watching the anime 'Folger Knight' when suddenly the anime malfunctioned and a character that didn't exist appeared on the screen. Ah, it's that girl in military uniform from earlier."

"When I saw Selesia fighting her, suddenly I was transported to the world of the anime and then I came back. At that time, Selesia and the girl in military uniform also appeared in reality."

"So, well, that means that all of them, including Selesia, Meteora, and Mirokuji Yuya, were originally fictional characters from fantasy works, and were brought into reality by that girl in military uniform."

"Also, the magical girl who just appeared is Mamika Kiraki, the protagonist of the children's magical girl anime 'Magical Killer Mamika,' and the female knight is Alice Tria Fabril, the protagonist of 'Scarlet Alice Tria.'"

"According to Meteora, it's because we humans have something called 'the power of acceptance,' so if enough people watch a work, remember it, and believe in all the settings in it, it will become a real world."

"Apart from that girl in military uniform whose background is completely unpredictable, everyone else is a character from a well-known work who has come to life. Of course, Mr. Xiang, you are even more famous!"

"Characters that have been remembered by everyone for decades, like Ultraman Jack, are truly the best. My taste is very similar to that of a thug!"

It didn't feel like meeting an idol; it felt more like the excitement of a childhood dream coming true.

Of course, more than that, Hideki Go was sorting out these messages.

In other words, Serega's disappearance from the flat world of Asmelia was all caused by the woman in military uniform, which also matches Charon's testimony.

The woman in military uniform is able to move freely between this so-called real world and various created stories. And for some reason, she has only recently become active, bringing one extraordinary person after another into the real world.

Thinking of this, Hideki Go asked, "What character is Caron Seiga in 'The Knight of the Spirit Machine'?"

“They’re the main characters,” Uncle Matsubara Takashi hurriedly replied. He was the author of the work. “Caron is the protagonist, and Serega is the heroine.”

Hideki thought for a moment, "Is that so... then that explains it."

All the clues match up.

Knowing the answer and recalling the previous clues, one can discover that this is indeed the truth.

Why is the food in the Asmelia world only half the thickness of the normal world? Because it's a created world, and its entropy content isn't as high as in the normal world.

Why does Caron possess this strange, mystical quality of being both cursed and blessed? Because he is the protagonist. The curse stems from the fact that the protagonist will inevitably face countless hardships, while the blessing indicates that the protagonist will ultimately achieve success.

"Huh, you believe that already?" Uncle Matsubara Takashi asked in surprise. "Don't you need to ask any other questions?"

"No need. I also have relevant clues about this, so I can be basically certain that this is indeed the truth."

Upon hearing what the village said, the library sage Meteora, who had already researched all of Ultraman's information, couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! No wonder he's Ultraman. Even knowing something like this, he's not surprised or discouraged at all."

Ok?

wrong.

Hideki Go discovered a blind spot: "You guys don't think I'm a character who came out of a created world, do you?"

Even if that were the truth, he could accept it immediately, but the truth is not like that, and being misunderstood is unacceptable.

"Isn't that right?" High school student Mizushio Sata was taken aback.

“No,” Hideki Go said, laughing and crying at the same time, “I came here from another multiverse, when I was fighting in a world called DC. I was swept into this place by a spacetime turbulence and fell into Asmelia.”

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Selesia was the first to lose her composure. "Then, that means..."

“That’s right,” Hideki Go confirmed. “You’ve been missing over there for a while now. Karon asked me to come find you.”

"Is Charon alright?!" Selesia exclaimed in shock. "Wait, I'm gone. Is the original world still going on? Then Charon must be..."

"What are you worried about?" The wooden sword-wielding man, Mirokuji Yuya, curled his lip. "With this guy around, what can those so-called villains in your world who oppose you and that Charon guy possibly accomplish?"

"Phew, that makes sense."

Selesia went through a rollercoaster of emotions, but finally asked to confirm, "Everyone in the kingdom, and Charon, are you all really alright?"

"It's alright." Hideki Go gave a brief account of what had happened over there.

This put Serega at ease, and she wasn't in a hurry to go back.
