What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

[Noah is still chasing me: @All members, can you help me?]

Noah is still chasing me: I want to know if any of these episodes contain any clues about the giant who chose me.

Chapter 10 Let's watch Ultraman together

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Hmm? What's this?]

[Noah is still chasing me: These are tokusatsu works about Ultraman sent by Mr. Emiya, but there are a lot of them, and I'm not sure if they contain anything I need.]

[Aspiring to be a champion of justice: ...I suggest you withdraw your request. Even if you haven't found it yet, it might contain information about your privacy.]

While not understanding Gu Nuo's mindset and intentions, Kiritsugu Emiya, for the sake of his greatest trump card in the Holy Grail War, genuinely tried to persuade him from Gu Nuo's perspective.

Noah is still chasing me: It's not a big problem, I believe in you.

[Old Eight's Big Appetite: So many... all Ultraman... even if everyone in the group joined together, it would still take quite a while to watch them all, right?]

While munching on a meat bun she bought at the convenience store, Yanagi replied that a lot had happened in the group chat tonight, and she needed to eat something to calm herself down.

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: Tokusatsu...? There doesn't seem to be anything like that here in Terra...]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: Kids-oriented... Does that mean it's for children? I never encountered this kind of thing when I was a kid.]

[Want to drink Mei's juice: So this really is a tokusatsu drama made by people from your Far East? No, no, no, what's the name of that giant you're talking about?]

Kiana lay on the bed looking at the chat group, her delicate feet idly swinging in the air.

She wondered if Mei-senpai would be interested in these Ultraman series. If she could invite her to watch them at home together, wouldn't that be a great opportunity to strengthen their relationship?

Noah is still chasing me: His name is Nexus.

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: Is He Also an Ultraman from the Land of Light?]

[Noah is still pursuing me: He doesn't look very similar, but I can't be 100% sure.]

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: Hey~~ There are so few criteria, I guess I'll have to start looking from scratch.]

This is actually a point that gives Gu Nuo a headache. He really knows very little about Nexus. In fact, even compared to the alien beasts, he knows more about them than Ultraman Oldden, who tricked him into accepting the Evolution Trust.

But can this be considered his problem? Whenever he tries to communicate with the other person, they just stand there like a statue, silent and aloof. What can he do?

[Noah is still chasing me: If you have time, just take a look. It won't really matter if I can't find it.]

Noah is still chasing me: (sent a red envelope)

['Old Eight's big stomach accepted the red envelope']

['I accepted the red envelope because I wanted to drink Mei's ○ juice']

['The first idol of the Reunion Movement accepted a red envelope']

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: 2,200 points! Holy crap, are you trying to kill yourself by posting so much?]

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: I thought there wouldn't be many, that's why I bought them.]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: If you just do daily tasks to accumulate points without any missions, it would take about half a year to accumulate 200 points. I can't accept so many points...]

The three people who accepted the red envelopes without thinking too much were all taken aback by the unexpected amount, and after regaining their senses, they all wanted to return them immediately.

[Noah is still chasing me: It's okay, @Hidden Purple is the strongest stand-in @Yearning to become a partner of justice @Strongest Elbow Master, if you guys see this, please accept it too. I just completed a mission, and the chat group sent me a lot of points. And because there are alien beasts around, points won't be a scarce resource for me for the time being.]

Despite some hesitation, the group members eventually accepted the points after Gu Nuo's repeated insistence.

After receiving the points, they became much more attentive when watching Ultraman episodes in the group chat.

……

……

Early in the morning, after getting up, washing up, doing morning exercises, and taking a shower, Gu Nuo, with a piece of bread in her mouth, set off for school.

Don't get me wrong, this wasn't early the next morning; it was actually a week after he obtained the Ultraman series resources.

During this period, apart from attending classes, chatting in groups, and fighting monsters, Gu Nuo spent almost all of his remaining time watching Ultraman and related resources.

In these episodes, Nexus's information is not so much scarce as to be completely absent.

But he can't say he gained nothing at all; for example—

"Brothers, the situation is urgent! Kill the traitor Astra!"

"We are protecting Taro."

"Ace, you bastard! Get up and take down the Super Beast!"

The Ultra Brothers came to fight, and in the end, only the team remained.

Recalling the many strange and memorable scenes from Ultraman, Gu Nuo felt that he would probably never forget the Ultra Brothers in his lifetime.

While pondering, Gu Nuo arrived at school, entered the classroom, and returned to her seat.

During this process, he inadvertently noticed the figure sitting next to him, and something seemed amiss.

His deskmate, Anna Yanami, had messy, shoulder-length blue hair. Her pretty face looked less vibrant than usual, with heavy dark circles under her eyes and a somewhat melancholic expression, making her look like a melancholic beauty.

A pretty girl with pink hair stood behind her, her arms wrapped around her neck with a worried expression.

"The apricot jam seems a bit listless,"

Resting her best friend's head on her excessively large penis, Himegami Karen asked with some concern:

Did you not sleep well last night? Or did you not eat enough this morning?

"Karen-chan, I've already had four sandwiches, two bowls of soba noodles, and a bowl of miso soup this morning. Your concern is unnecessary..."

Seeing Anja pout slightly, Hana whispered, "Although I still kind of want to eat it..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Himegami Karen didn't hear clearly.

"There's nothing there. Class is about to start, so you'd better go back to your seat."

When the school bell rang, Anna Hanami pushed Karen Himemiya away from her seat.

Just when Gu Nuo thought that his deskmate was just experiencing occasional emo, a message suddenly popped up in the group chat.

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: I think Jamila is really too pitiful...]

Chapter Eleven: The So-Called Reasons for the Battle

[Jamira, the first idol of the Reunion Movement... Is she the monster that the astronaut turned into?]

[Want to drink Mei's juice: I think so too... I'm so angry! Not only are we to be used as tools in political struggles, but we're even ordered to be eliminated by higher-ups in the end... This is just... too much!]

[The strongest elbow master: Uh... what are you guys talking about?]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: They're talking about that, right? An episode from the original Ultraman series, a... sad story.]

At this point, Gu Nuo also remembered that this was episode 23 of Ultraman.

"My Hometown is Earth" is an episodic series about Jamila, an astronaut abandoned by his homeland who mutates into a monster in space and returns to Earth filled with anger and hatred towards hypocritical humanity. He creates an "invisibility barrier" to shoot down aircraft from various countries, attempting to disrupt a so-called peace conference between major powers. The Science Patrol, while sympathizing with their former colleague, is forced to carry out orders from higher-ups to eliminate him.

With Anna Hanami leading the discussion, the group chat quickly became lively.

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: I don't know how to say it... but was Jamila crying before he died...?]

Seeing Anja slumped over the table, Bana felt a tightness in her chest.

In fact, after watching this episode, she was unable to sleep for almost the entire night.

She felt great sympathy for Jamila in the series. That poor human who sacrificed himself for scientific advancement became a victim of political maneuvering, not only turning into a monster but also failing to reveal the truth even after returning to his homeland and dying.

She could never forget the scene where, when Ultraman used water to finish off Jamila, the dying monster still struggled and cried as it reached for the flag that had betrayed it.

[Aspiring to be a champion of justice: This is unavoidable; under those circumstances, revealing the truth about Jamila to the higher-ups would only cause more chaos.]

[Aspiring to be a champion of justice: Even if Jamila is human, I don't believe the general public would be willing to accept him after learning his true identity.]

[Is Hermit Purple the strongest Stand: Monster Tamer and the Boy?]

[Aspiring to be a champion of justice: Yes, this is a perfect example. Even aliens who resemble humans are not accepted, let alone Jamila, whose body has been completely transformed into a monster.]

Kiritsugu Emiya gently stroked Illya's long hair, who was fast asleep in his arms, and paused the computer in front of him that was playing the latest episode of Ultraman.

To catch up on Ultraman information, he has been watching the series day and night lately, and has even sent his assistant, Maiya, to Tsuburaya Productions in Japan to investigate more undisclosed or abandoned projects related to Ultraman's future and past.

During this process, Kiritsugu Emiya's determination grew stronger and stronger.

Human nature is always ugly, and even Ultraman cannot change that.

To create a world where no one cries like Jamila... only the Holy Grail... can truly make it happen!

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: In other words, is this a necessary sacrifice?]

[Old Eight's Big Stomach: @Noah is still chasing me, Nono, I want to know what you're thinking. If something like Jamila happened in your world, would you still transform into Nexus like the original Ultraman and fight Jamila?]

Noah is still chasing me: ...I will.

Seeing that the conversation had somehow turned back on her, Gu Nuo sighed slightly and then replied.

[Noah is still chasing me: In fact, if we're simply referring to the inhumanity of humanity's higher powers, my world is no less so.]

[Laoba Big Stomach:? 】

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: ?]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: ?]

[Is Hermit Purple the strongest Stand?]

[The strongest elbow striker: ?]

[Noah is still chasing me: In my world, I'm not the only one capable of transforming into Nexus; before me, there were two predecessors.]

[Noah is still chasing me: But unlike the human hosts of the Ultraman series, neither of us has joined the defense force, and the TLT, the human organization that deals with alien beasts, has repeatedly captured my two predecessors and taken them to the laboratory for experiments.]

[Want to drink Mei's ○ juice: Really, an experiment? What kind of experiment?]

[Noah is still chasing me: It's the kind of human experimentation you're imagining, the kind where they do the work but don't care if the animals live or die. They capture them even after they've fought the alien beasts, when they're covered in wounds and have no strength to resist.]

[Lao Ba’s Big Stomach Bag:…]

[I want to drink Mei's ○ juice: ……]

[The first idol of the Reunion Movement: ...]

[Hermit Purple is the strongest Stand: ...]

The ultimate elbow striker: ...

[Aspiring to become a champion of justice: ...]

This answer immediately silenced the group of friends. In the Ultraman series they watched, even if there were occasional episodes that satirized the dark side of humanity like the Three Great Problems, the main theme of the whole work was still friendship and bonds, and there were even a few light-hearted and funny episodes from time to time.

Capturing human beings for human experimentation... isn't that something only evil cosmic beings would do?

[The Strongest Elbow Master: So... Nono, why are you still...]

[Noah is still pursuing me: Being chosen by that ray of light wasn't my own choice. My ambition has always been simply to live like an ordinary person, to live a simple life. If possible, I'd also like to find a beautiful voice actress to marry.]

Noah is still chasing me: But now that He has passed the torch to me, I have no reason to betray the blood and tears shed by the previous two successors.

Yes, it has nothing to do with awareness, and nothing to do with right or wrong.

Gu Nuo didn't care about the ugliness of human nature, nor did he want to believe in the bonds between people.

He was simply imitating the actions of his predecessors—Jun Himeya and Rei Senju.

Whether the higher-ups are human or not does not conflict with their desire to protect humanity. Even if monsters like Jamila with ample reason to harm humans appear in the future, there will always be one or two innocent people among those who are harmed.

Kill any alien beasts that appear, run away if TLT tries to capture them, and lend a helping hand to anyone in danger, using your power to help them.

Before this ray of light automatically finds its next successor, this is all that Gu Nuo can do.

Conversely, if a fifth suitable candidate is born in the future, then all of this will no longer be relevant to him.
