Chapter 62, Section 61: Taro: Someone Always Bears the Burden (Seeking First Subscription)
In the woods, Shi Dong Meiling hesitated, looking at the luminous figure slumped beside the big tree.
It definitely looks human, and it even has a rather old-fashioned-looking camera hanging on its body.
But no normal human being emits light. Judging from the shape of that light, it was probably a beam of light that fell from the sky.
Falling from the sky and still alive? Could it be an alien?
Could it be that aliens are just like humans?
Before Shi Dong Meiling could think further, the light around the man slowly dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, he was no different from an ordinary person.
"Huh? The light has disappeared."
Mei-ling Shi Dong quickly stepped forward to confirm that the light that had inexplicably attracted her had indeed dissipated without any reason.
In a more distant corner, Taro, in his Spark Doll form, looked at Mirei Ishidou and fell into deep thought.
He was absolutely certain that the light he saw was something only Ultra Warriors could possess.
But apart from him, weren't they all turned into mindless puppets by that guy?
The thought of the unknown black giant that had suddenly appeared weighed heavily on Taro's heart.
It seems that in the end, he and another Ultra Warrior he had never seen before were both severely injured, but he certainly did not perish.
The ability to stop all existence in time is terrifying.
Before that guy appeared, Wang suddenly disappeared.
Otherwise, with the king's abilities, he would certainly be able to protect everyone.
Taro thought with some resentment, while Ishidou Mirei, after confirming that the man in front of her was still alive, was deeply caught in a state of inner turmoil.
In her mind, not saving the person was definitely not an option.
The phrase "failure to help someone in distress" has never appeared in Ishidou Mirei's dictionary.
It's easy to make arrangements. My parents are busy working outside and don't live in their home in Jiangxing Town often, not to mention that there are empty rooms that were deliberately reserved to entertain guests.
However, she is only a high school student, so it's not appropriate for her to bring a strange man home.
Mirei Ishidou never even considered calling the police for help. If the authorities discovered anything amiss, this seemingly normal man would likely—
Thinking about the novels she usually read, where superpowered individuals or aliens were dissected by official institutions, Mirei Ishidou shuddered.
No, absolutely not, but—
"Fine, let's decide with a coin toss."
Mirei Ishidou took out a coin she always carried with her and muttered to herself.
"If it's on the front, save people; if it's on the back, ignore them."
As soon as she tossed the coin in her hand, Mirei Ishidou nervously closed her eyes.
At times like these, the process of revealing the results always feels like the most agonizing.
Even more heartbroken than Mirei Ishidou was Taro, who was lurking in the shadows.
Finally, there was a glimmer of unexpected hope, a glimmer of light that allowed me to return to normal and awaken everyone.
If something were to happen to that man here, Taro would have nowhere to turn to cry.
A moment later, Shi Dong Mei Ling opened her eyes, but the scene before her left her stunned.
"What's going on? It's standing still? What am I supposed to do now?"
Sunlight streamed through the leaves, illuminating the ground where a coin stood perfectly upright.
Just then, as if an invisible wind blew by, the coin finally landed heads up.
"Seriously, let's save him."
As if she had found an excuse, Shi Dong Meiling put down her basket and went over to carry the person on her back.
"Let's put the camera in the basket for now. What are these two things?"
Mirei Ishidou picked up two strange items next to the stranger: a short sword and a short gun, which looked like toys.
"Never mind, I'll just put it together with him."
After everything was packed, Shi Dong Mei Ling carefully helped the person up, and felt surprisingly relaxed carrying them on her back.
She considers herself quite strong for a girl her age, but how could she do it so easily? Or is this strange person just too light?
Unable to figure it out, Shi Dong Meiling decided to stop worrying about it and, without anyone's knowledge, carried a basket full of things down the mountain.
It's really strange, even though it was going down the mountain, it was surprisingly easy carrying someone on her back. Shi Dong Mei Ling was already regretting not signing up for the long-distance running event last semester.
With that kind of endurance, you're sure to win the championship.
Behind Mirei Ishidou, Taro in his Spark Doll form followed at a distance.
It's wobbly and always makes you feel like it's difficult to move.
"Damn it, why is that thing so heavy? My Ultra psychic power is being used up so fast!"
When some people feel that life is peaceful and carefree, it is because others are bearing heavy burdens.
Taro now understands this deeply.
They returned along the same route, and fortunately, all the houses were closed, so Shi Dong Meiling was spared from being stared at strangely.
Otherwise, if you go home with a man on your back, you'll definitely be laughed at, and people might even gossip about you behind your back.
After carrying the person home and placing them on the bed in the guest room, Shi Dong Meiling let out a long sigh of relief.
Her face was flushed; this was the first time in her life she had had such close contact with a strange man.
But since it's about saving lives, it's nothing serious.
Outside Shi Dong Mei Ling's house, Taro also collapsed weakly to the ground.
The limitations of the Spark Doll form are too great; its psychic powers cannot be fully utilized.
Let's rest here for a while and recover some of our psychic power before we go back to investigate what's going on with that guy who seems to be the human form of an Ultraman.
Not long after, the door across from Ishidou Mirei's house opened, and two boys ran out.
One is tall and the other is short; they are probably older and younger brothers.
Taro suddenly felt dizzy and heard the innocent yet puzzled voice of a child.
"Brother, what is this strange doll? Why does it have two cow horns?"
"Yuta, ignore it. It looks clumsy and isn't fun at all."
"Bringing it home dirty will get you scolded by Mom. Come on, let's throw it away. I'll take you to get ice cream."
"Okay, let's eat ice cream!"
Upon hearing that there was ice cream, the child named Yuta immediately suppressed his curiosity about the strange doll, casually tossed it aside, and stuck it diagonally into the soil of Mirei Ishidou's flower bed.
Taro stared blankly at the azure sky, his heart filled with unbearable sorrow.
Although it's not the Earth I fought on, why are the kids here so rude?
Regardless of Taro's existential doubts, after settling the person she had picked up, Mirei Ishidou went directly to the music classroom at Fusei Elementary School.
After the Galaxy Shrine was accidentally burned down, the shrine's old priest, who is also the grandfather of Hikaru Raido, the protagonist of Galaxy T, accepted Principal Shirai's invitation and moved the shrine to Fusei Elementary School.
During her summer vacation, Mirei Ishidou spent her time either making pastries at home or working as a shrine maiden at Fusei Elementary School, so she was quite familiar with the job.
She and Hikaru were childhood friends, and she was also familiar with the old priest long ago.
