Ultraman: A good pilot doesn't choose his own Ultraman.

42. Captain, do you have a jeep?

Everyone vividly remembers what happened on Halloween.

For the first time ever, three monsters appeared at the same time.

If it weren't for the appearance of an unknown giant, the GUTS team might have been completely wiped out that night.

I've seen Golza before, but that Garula, weapons just can't break through his defenses, it's utterly hopeless.

"Captain, is the source of this information reliable?"

Because of his background in the defense force, Munakata asked a question out of caution.

If there's something controlling monsters behind the scenes, that's terrifying.

"Don't worry, the source is reliable. The rest is up to our winning team."

Megumi glanced at Munakata and gave an affirmative answer.

As for the details, they didn't go into much detail.

The matter of Kirino Makio has been classified as top secret, and it is not convenient for too many people to know about it.

When Megumi said this, the other team members understood what she meant and didn't ask any more questions, simply replying that they understood.

Investigating all sorts of supernatural events is their job.

"Captain, what is headquarters' current view on that newly appeared Titan?"

Lina asked about something that everyone was concerned about: the giant that suddenly appeared that night did not emerge from the stone statue in the pyramid like Tiga did.

Tiga even has the backing of a time machine, which can somewhat reduce the vigilance of the higher-ups.

The new giant of that day did not have these prerequisites.

Although they defeated the monster together with Tiga, there's a fear that the higher-ups might have ulterior motives.

They were all very willing to have a new giant fight alongside them, as there were just too many monsters inexplicably appearing on Earth these days.

Japan was the hardest hit area, but similar incidents occurred in other places as well, though they were all eliminated by the armies of various countries.

When it comes to bad luck, no one can compare to Japan.

All year round, it feels like Ultraman and monsters are having a tea party in Japan.

"Director Sawai's idea is to maintain a friendly attitude towards the Titans. As long as the Titans do not attack humans first, we do not need to attack them."

By the way, the giant already has a codename: Nexter.

Her lips were moving, and there was a significant reason behind it.

Because she knew who the Giants were, she made a concerted effort to persuade Director Sawai.

Director Sawai has no prejudice against Ultraman, but he also does not blindly worship or have any natural affinity for him.

Human interests always come first.

"Huh? Why is he called Next?"

Zongfang clenched his fist in frustration, feeling that the Giant Mountain Super Power that hadn't been used last time would be perfect for the new giant.

Compared to Ultraman Tiga, the new giant looks much more powerful.

"next, the second giant to appear."

What, is that unreasonable?

Megumi's question was met with unanimous approval; if the captain personally named it, then there would be no problem.

Moreover, it is indeed a plausible explanation.

What they didn't know was that even Megumi herself couldn't explain it.

I just blurted it out without thinking when I was watching the battle.

To be honest, it might just be a woman's intuition?

"Horie, any progress on that thing from yesterday?"

After conveying the meeting results, Megumi turned her attention to the unknown object that Shinjo and Horii had brought back the day before, which was suspected to be not from Earth.

"It doesn't work at all, I can't open it even with a laser."

"Give me a little more time and I'll find a way," Jiang Yu said, "but I've already told them we can wait for him and Da Gu to return."

Horii answered honestly, also curious as to why Jiang Yu would say that.

Does Jiang Yu also work on things that clearly involve technology and demanding tasks?

Or are all aliens this comprehensive?

"Is that so? Then we can leave it alone and let them handle it when they come back."

Because of her giant status, Megumi gave Jiang Yu and Daigo almost complete trust.

"In that case, Nori, let's start filtering the database from today."

From the time Golza appeared, all reported anomalies must be compiled.

Megumi walked over to Nozue's side, and she valued this younger brother-like figure in the team very much.

At such a young age, he was selected for the Victory Team because of his computer skills. It's perfect to leave computer-related matters to Norizumi.

"Understood, Captain. My data retrieval program is absolutely top-notch, so you can rest assured."

Returning to his old profession, Ye Rui was quite confident and immediately began working with great enthusiasm.

Compared to others who need to go out on fieldwork, Ye Rui actually feels less fulfilled and always feels that he has contributed less than others.

He tends to be very enthusiastic whenever he has to do something.

This kind of good kid is born to work!

Just as Megumi was assigning tasks, the door to the command room opened, and Daigo and Jiang Yu walked in wearing uniforms, followed by Saki, who was dressed in black.

"Daigo, Jiang Yu, what's going on here? And who is this?"

Megumi looked at the unfamiliar girl she had never seen before with surprise. The command room was not a place that anyone could just walk into, even if a member of the Victory team vouched for them.

"Don't worry, Captain, Daigo and I have already spoken to Director Sawai in advance."

He should be here soon.

Jiang Yu explained that Da Gu seemed to be having some difficulty speaking.

Ever since Saki came in and stayed by Daigo's side, Rena's eyes have been filled with hostility.

When I was a kid, I never paid much attention to these things, but Lina's jealousy is just too much.

Jiang Yu concealed his schadenfreude, but he still had to give Da Gu some face in front of others.

"Director Sawai knows too, then there's no problem."

So, could you explain why you brought her along?

"Of course it's because of that strange device from yesterday. According to her, it was something she used to summon monsters back to their homeland."

Jiang Yu pointed at Sha Ji and said, and Sha Ji nodded silently.

Yes, although she didn't say anything, she confessed everything.

Aliens who can read minds are truly terrifying!

All she wants now is to return to her hometown immediately.

"Summoning monsters?"

Megumi looked at Saki, who looked so frail, with astonishment. She never imagined that this seemingly ordinary girl was actually an alien with the ability to summon monsters.

"Are you sure it won't cause any damage?"

"Of course, as long as the venue is set up in advance, she can guide the process."

Jiang Yu was absolutely certain of this, having already confirmed it with Sha Ji.

Once the device is activated, Machina will use the pendant on Saki's chest as a reference to come to Earth and bring her back.

In the original series, Machina descended upon Tokyo Bay because Saki escaped from the TPC and arrived at Tokyo Bay.

"Okay, we will cooperate fully. Munakata, you will be in charge of this matter."

Kijima handed the matter over to Munakata, who was quite capable in command.

"clear."

Munakata solemnly agreed and glanced at Saki.

Can such a small girl really control the monster and prevent it from going berserk?

Under Munakata's leadership, Horii, Shinjo, and Rena went to coordinate the deployment, presumably to first confirm the action orders with Director Sawai.

Saki didn't say anything and silently followed behind Lina.

Ju Jianhui originally wanted to deal with the documents, but Jiang Yu stopped her.

"Captain, if possible, I'd like to give Daigo some special training."

"Special training?"

Megumi was a little confused. Wasn't Daigo always in special training, except when he was writing the crash report?

"Yes, the situation is a bit special, I might need a Jeep."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Da Gu visibly panicked.

Although we don't know exactly what's going on, judging from Jiang Yu's current seemingly innocent but actually cunning nature, he's definitely not up to anything good.

Daigo began to doubt the method Jiang Yu had described as a way to quickly improve his strength. Was it really a legitimate method?

P.S.: Readership dropped a tiny bit, which is terrible, but I'll still post three chapters as promised today, and I expect to finish around 5 PM.

Dear readers, please do read this! This is my lifelong request!
