Cosmic Hero, Superman A-Guang

Chapter 33 Kirino

A few days later, a monster appeared in the city. Flames shot from its head, destroying buildings indiscriminately. It was the ancient monster Garula.

The GUTS team launched their Flying Swallow and began attacking the monster. However, due to the city setting, they couldn't use high-powered weapons, so their attacks did little damage. The monster continued to wreak havoc on the city.

Daigo and Rena were evacuating people on the ground. Seeing that the GUTS team couldn't stop the monster, Daigo went to a secluded spot to prepare to transform into Ultraman Tiga. He then noticed a person nearby and offered them shelter.

The man told Daigo that a woman was trapped in a room on the 7th floor of the building, next to the stairs.

Following the man's instructions, Daigo arrived at the location and indeed saw a woman lying unconscious on the ground. He was about to prepare to help her.

The monster saw Daigo and the woman through the window and unleashed flames at Daigo.

In a moment of crisis, Daigo transforms into Ultraman Tiga and defeats the monster with a single punch.

Then he put the girl aside and unleashed a barrage of punches on the monster.

After being attacked by Tiga and the GUTS team for a while, the monster, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately dug a hole and ran away. Tiga hurriedly fired a beam attack, but unfortunately missed.

Seeing the monster escape, the GUTS team returned to headquarters.

That evening, Daigo returned to the lounge and saw an email on his computer, so he opened it to read:

Hello, Ultraman!

I often watch you fight demons from afar, watching you bravely protect humanity. You are a righteous Ultraman who defends human peace. But honestly, I don't like people like you, and I even harbor hatred towards you. Could we talk face-to-face? I believe I have the right to do so. Tomorrow at noon, I'll be waiting for you at the shopping center in the K area. Please come alone. I hope we can both have some meaningful time together.

Kirino

Meanwhile, Yang Guang received the exact same email.

So the next day, the two went to the K district in the city center...

"Ah, Daigo, you're here too? You received that email too, right?" Yang Guang saw Daigo and knew that Daigo had also been invited here by Kirino.

"Ah, yes, Hikari, you received the email too? What exactly is that Kirino guy trying to do?" Daigo asked, puzzled.

"It's alright, Daigo. You'll see when you meet him," Yang Guang said.

In fact, Yang Guang had already remembered that Tong Ye was a person with special abilities from a young age. He could see what was about to happen and hear people's inner thoughts. As a result, he was called a monster by his classmates from childhood, was feared by them, and was bullied by them.

Yang Guang and Daigo sat down together to wait for Kirino's arrival...

"You really came. Daigo, Hikari."

"I knew it was you." Daigo saw the man, and it was indeed the man who had reminded him that day.

The man immediately praised Daigu, saying that he definitely wouldn't have been able to save the girl yesterday.

Then Kirino tentatively revealed that he possessed extraordinary abilities.

"Having superpowers? Actually, it's not that surprising. With such a large human population, it's not unusual for some people to have superpowers," Yang Guang said casually.

“It seems I made the right decision to come see you. You are the only people who know that I am different from ordinary people, and who do not discriminate against or fear me,” Kirino said.

"Discrimination and fear? It seems you awakened your superpowers quite early. Were you ostracized and bullied by your classmates when you were a child?" Yang Guang said.

"How did you know? Do you have superpowers too? Well, that makes sense, after all, you're Ultraman," Kirino said.

"So, Kirino, what is your purpose in calling us here?" Daigo asked.

"Well then, you two winning players, how about you play a game with me? We can discuss the details another day, since someone's been bothering us today," Kirino said.

Kirino got up and left, telling the two before he left that the monster that had attacked the shopping center earlier would reappear.

Just then, Lina walked over. It turned out that Lina was concerned about Daigo and had secretly followed him.

"Daigo, Hikari, you're together? Who was that person just now?" Rena asked.

"Ah, he just came to ask me the time~ um!" Before Da Gu could finish speaking, Yang Guang said, "He's a superhuman; he can hear what people are thinking and see what's about to happen. He invited us out to play a game."

"Superpowered? A game?" Lina asked, puzzled.

So Daigo and Rena went for a walk together, while Yang Guang returned to the GUTS headquarters and told Megumi about it.

"You mean that guy named Kirino has superpowers? He can predict the future?" Megumi asked in surprise.

“Yes, that’s why he was bullied since he was little, so he might have a bit of a need for care. He’s not a bad person at heart, and he hasn’t used his superpowers to do anything bad. I think this kind of talent can be recruited into the GUTS team. If he’s properly trained, he can make contributions to society and humanity,” Yang Guang suggested.

That night, the Victory Team's radar detected a powerful bioenergy reaction in the mountainous area!

The GUTS team arrived at the target location in their Flying Swallow and saw the monster setting fires everywhere, causing a forest fire.

So the group launched liquid nitrogen missiles, hoping to bring harmony to the monster.

As a result, the missile was detonated by the flames fired from the monster's head, and the monster turned and ran away!

So everyone started putting out the fire, and after they finished, they returned to headquarters.

Daigo and Yang Guang returned to the lounge and saw another email on the computer. They opened it and, sure enough, it was from Kirino again.

The next day, the two arrived at the racetrack, the place Kirino had arranged. There were no races that day, so there was no one else on the track besides the three of them.

After their conversation, Yang Guang felt that Tong Ye's ideas were a bit extreme.

"Kirino, you're thinking too extremely! Life may have setbacks, but it's not as difficult as you imagine. Since you can see other people's thoughts, you should know that not everyone is a bad person. Moreover, what makes humans human is that they have both light and darkness within them. No one is perfect, and we can't negate a person's entire being just because they have desires. Everyone makes mistakes, and we should be more tolerant of others. We should allow others to be themselves, and allow ourselves to be ourselves."

"Of course I haven't experienced your pain, so I'm not qualified to advise you on what to do. But when we harbor negative emotions like anger and complaints, you'll find yourself in pain, even ill. Conversely, if you have a kind, cheerful, and tolerant mindset, you'll find yourself full of energy, and life will be full of hope and happiness," Yang Guang said.

"So, Kirino, do you want to live happily or suffer? Keep the light in your heart and don't be afraid of the darkness!" Yang Guang continued his counseling.

"Kirino, no matter what kind of hurt you've suffered in the past, please don't give up. Maybe ordinary people can't accept you right now, but we're here for you! Our journey to become Ultraman and fight for humanity hasn't been smooth sailing either. There have been times when we've been defeated by monsters, but we've never given up in our hearts. Humans may have their shortcomings, but we've never given up on them either, because humanity is worth protecting," Daigo said.

"Thank you all! I originally invited you out to play a game, but never mind! Thank you for letting me experience your care and love. By the way, the next monster will appear in the K3 area at 4 PM." Kirino finished speaking and left.

Yang Guang and Daigu exchanged a smile and returned to headquarters together.
