i'm really only human

Chapter 637 Kirino Makoto
"call!"

The next day, Kumamoto Castle.

A cadre transport plane serving as the command center landed vertically on the lawn. Director Sawai arrived at the front line as the commander-in-chief and kept in touch with Iruma Kei who stayed behind at the base through a dedicated channel.

"According to Daiko's investigation, the underground shark that appeared in Kumamoto this time is actually a mechanical monster made by a technology company."

Iruma Kei briefly narrated.

"The founder of that guy's technology company, Masaki Keigo, is currently missing, but our people have discovered the remains of a hidden giant under the company."

"Giant ruins?" Sawai murmured.

"Like the Tiga statue that was first discovered, it is probably a relic from the ancient times," Iruma Kei nodded. "The abnormal reaction of the sand in the secret box these days should be related to Masaki Keigo's actions, and..."

"and?"

"Dr. Tango, who was in charge of the statue research, has been confirmed to have defected. Before that, he was the one who secretly transmitted TPC's confidential information to Masaki Keigo."

"This Masaki Keigo is not a simple person."

Sawai took a quick look at the information.

A world-renowned physicist who began to show his talent in high school and is now one of the main players in the development of the universe.

"Where is that tech company? I want to see the giant ruins that he built specifically to hide his company."

"I'll ask Lina to pick you up."

Underground of Sadiq Technologies Corporation.

Hiroko Asami followed the TPC staff at the exploration site to the foot of the giant stone statue, but she still hadn't recovered from the shock she felt when she saw the statue.

In addition to the giant, there is also a stone statue of a monster next to it, but it does not give people an evil feeling. Standing side by side with the giant statue, it seems that one can see the glorious era of the ancient times.

"What kind of civilization was the super ancient times?"

"It seems that there are still a lot of giants," the leader of the exploration team exclaimed, "They seem to have found a way to make giant stone statues, and have the technology to combine humans with stone statues..."

Noticing Hiroko Asami's surprised look, the leader of the exploration team smiled bitterly and said, "These are the records in Masaki Keigo's laboratory. Before he discovered this place, it seems that he had been obtaining information about the statue's sand from Dr. Tango, and he also did a lot of research on replicating the giant statue. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

"Thank you."

Hiroko Asami turned her gaze back to the towering giant stone statue.

She was indeed interested.

If she could become Ultraman, maybe...

The upgrade of the knight system this time is indeed crucial. It can be said that it has paved the way for the knights' future and enabled them to embark on a new evolutionary path with the knight system.

But these are not what she pursues.

What she pursues is not simply becoming stronger.

"Captain Asami," Lina's voice came from her personal terminal, "Director Sawai will be inspecting the ruins in a while. Do you think now is a good time? I'm worried that Masaki Keigo might have some tricks up his sleeve."

"The exploration team has searched thoroughly, there should be no problem with the ruins."

Hiroko Asami gave a fairly affirmative answer.

"But if it's about the inspection, can you let the director wait a little longer? We don't know what Masaki Keigo's next plan is yet, and he may counterattack."

"Okay, I'll explain it to the director."

After the communication ended, Hiroko Asami continued to watch the giant stone statue.

If you want to take action, you have to hurry.

Once the information here is taken away by TPC, it will definitely become absolutely confidential.

"Do you want to become Ultraman?" A voice suddenly sounded in Hiroko Asami's ear.

"Don't look back. I'm talking to you from another place now. Just treat me as an ordinary person with super powers... I can indeed hear the voices in people's hearts, but for people like you, it's only limited to very superficial thinking. Someone blocked the key part."

Asami Hiroko clenched her fingers, frowned, and almost transformed on the spot: "Who are you? What is your purpose?"

"Don't be nervous, I just want to help you."

The bespectacled man Makuo Kirino stood with his hands behind his back on a high place in Kumamoto Castle, still with the same aloof look as when he witnessed the extinction of the Kirieloid people.

"Thanks to you, the future I see is bright again. I think you will be the key to saving the world, so I want to speed up your growth... Oh, I won't tell you my name for now."

"save the world?"

"The future I saw was once dark. Originally, this world was destined to perish, but now there are new possibilities."

Kirino Makuo stared at the sky in a trance.

“Let’s go back to what happened just now. You want to be Ultraman, but have you ever thought that there were so many giants in ancient times who still ended up being destroyed?

"The ancient giant civilization had a huge flaw from the beginning. Not everyone can become Tiga. The biggest possibility is that they will fall into darkness and lose control.
"It is not easy to control a force far beyond your own level. At least you can't do it now."

Asami Hiroko frowned even more, avoiding the exploration team and walking out of the ruins: "So when you say help us, what do you mean?"

"I know a place that can help you level up quickly. If you are willing to trust me, we can meet again after we return to Tokyo."

Kirino Makuo let out a sigh of relief and cut off the telepathy.

He needs to gain the trust of the Cavaliers before he can expose himself, otherwise he, as just an ordinary person, will take great risks.

"That's it. Since I am a human, I cannot watch the human world being destroyed by darkness. I hope you won't let me down, and I hope Lipia didn't misjudge you."

"Captain Asami?" The captain of the exploration team called out to Hiroko Asami in confusion as she suddenly behaved strangely.

"I'll go take a look at the lab up there."

Hiroko Asami quickly left the underground space.

In any case, you still need to collect some relevant information, even if it is just for reference.

Everything is possible in the future.

……

Outside Kumamoto.

Keigo Masaki watched TPC's intensive actions through the surveillance.

He was exposed too quickly and there was no way back, so all his plans had to start from scratch.

It’s all because of that despicable Dagu. He disguised himself so well that he even fooled him.

"That's right. He has the same super ancient genes as me. How could he not be special at all?"

"Don't worry about Daiko for now," the squinting young man was still angry about the armor, and he took a deep breath to wake up Masaki Keigo, "Don't you still have backup data? We can help you complete the follow-up research, but isn't it time to tell us the secret of how to quickly capture monsters that you mentioned?"

"What do you know?" Masaki Keigo said sarcastically, "Without the magic wand and the optogenetic factor conversion device, what's the point of just copying the stone statue? I thought you were so powerful, but you just ran away when someone randomly appeared on the other side."

"We just don't want to create any complications."

The squinting young man stopped the team member who was about to get angry.

"As long as you complete our requirements, I promise to help you get the magic stick."

It's just a B-class Ultraman's transformation device, there are plenty of opportunities to get it.
