Ultraman Arbitrary Key: Dawn Chapter 36

He worried that if things went wrong, Qi Ming would just "throw him into the air."

Qi Ming: "Am I such a bad person?"

Kishida subconsciously nodded, then quickly shook his head.

The yellow Falcon 1 cut through the stratosphere. In the rear seat, Qi Ming listened to the sharp howl of the wings tearing through the air, his eyes focused on Kishida's hands pulling the control stick.

Can he really learn by watching? The thought flashed through Kishida's mind.

If this were in the past, he would have definitely said it was impossible.

But after witnessing Qi Ming's various methods, he began to waver.

So he cleared his throat and began to explain, "This is the control stick, it adjusts the control surfaces on the wings and tail..."

As he spoke, Mamoru Shirogane's voice rang out:

"The plan has changed, a monster has appeared at that quarry!"

"Prepare to attack, Nagi and the others piloting the second unit will be here soon."

Well, no need to investigate anymore, the monster had already burst from the ground.

Kishida immediately accelerated to full speed. Upon arrival, Qi Ming recognized the whip-wielding figure at a glance.

It was Gudon! He could never mistake such a hardworking monster.

Kishida: "This is Kishida, I've arrived on scene piloting Falcon 1. What's the status of the ground personnel evacuation?"

Emi from the base: "We've already reported that everyone has been evacuated."

Kishida: "Good!"

He intended to show off in front of Qi Ming, this "flight novice," letting him see the superb skills of a senior.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Falcon 1 continuously fired its green sharp-point cannons, causing sparks to fly all over Gudon's body and making it shake.

It couldn't fly and had almost no anti-air capabilities, so it could only be passively beaten.

After being beaten unilaterally for a while, Gudon realized it couldn't stay any longer and prepared to dig into the ground to escape.

"This is a quarry on the outskirts, there aren't many buildings around, and the crowds have all been evacuated. It's the perfect opportunity to use the powerful 'Anti-Monster Missile' to finish it off in one go," Kishida said, filled with excitement.

Meanwhile, Qi Ming was observing the surroundings of the battlefield.

"Gudon appearing at the quarry, Kishida piloting a plane, and one more factor is missing... it's here!"

Qi Ming tugged on Kishida: "Team member Kishida, there's an emergency situation you need to be aware of – a girl with a bug-catching net is rushing towards Gudon."

Kishida was stunned: "Are you kidding me! The crowds have all been evacuated!"

In the original "Jack" series, Hideki Go and Kishida were in the same plane. Kishida told Hideki Go to throw the missile, but Hideki Go, due to the super vision brought by Jack's possession, saw the little girl and didn't fire.

The result was a severe scolding.

Things like, "Are you still not awake? Isn't it empty?" "I won't let you get away with such a pretty excuse," and "Punishment must be meted out to the erring Hideki."

In the end, Hideki Go was confined for three days.

Now, it was Qi Ming's turn to face this situation.

You want to pressure me? Sorry, only others get told to "stand up and toast me."

Qi Ming didn't hold back and forcefully shoved a pre-prepared telescope into Kishida's face: "See it now?"

"There really is!" Kishida's face immediately turned ugly.

He spoke into the intercom: "Captain, there's a developing situation. A child wearing a yellow hat has entered the combat zone. Team member Qi Ming and I both saw it. Right now..."

Qi Ming took over: "Launch the missile now and eliminate the monster."

After saying that, he was about to push the control stick to launch the missile at Gudon, which had already been locked on.

Kishida was so scared he almost lost his soul and quickly stopped him: "Team member Qi Ming, what are you doing!"

Qi Ming: "Eliminating the monster, of course."

Kishida: "Launching the Anti-Monster Missile at this distance will kill that girl!"

Qi Ming: "But if we don't take care of Gudon here, and it escapes to appear in the Tokyo city center next time, what then?"

"Launching the Anti-Monster Missile now only kills one girl. If it causes havoc in the city, how many people will die then?"

Kishida was stunned by his words. The hand holding the control stick trembled uncontrollably, as if he were holding an insurmountable problem.

"Then why... why did you call out to me earlier?" Kishida's voice was dry.

Qi Ming calmly replied, "Because now that you're an accomplice, we're 'accomplices,' and we'll share the guilt and responsibility."

In short - "Kishida did it too."

Kishida couldn't bring himself to do it and could only watch as Gudon returned underground.

The others in the Defense Team also heard the argument between the two from the communication channel. Even Yamanaka was so shocked by Qi Ming's "ruthlessness" that he was speechless.

Finally, Mamoru Shirogane's voice rang out, "You two should return first..."

On the way back, Kishida looked at Qi Ming with eyes full of terror, thinking this guy was a "heretic."

He was too wicked!

After returning to the base, the entire command room was silent. Everyone looked at Qi Ming with awe.

Mamoru Shirogane hesitated to speak. If it were before, he would have definitely berated Qi Ming for not valuing life and criticized him harshly.

But he and Qi Ming had a bit of a falling out a few days ago. He was thinking about how to improve their relationship, so of course, he couldn't criticize him publicly.

He coughed a few times and asked Nagi Saijo to say a few words.

Nagi Saijo nodded. She walked up to Kishida, her expression grim, "What are you hesitating about? Why didn't you follow teammate Qi Ming's suggestion to launch the missile? Your mission is to defeat the monster!"

Mamoru Shirogane: "?"

His original intention was for Nagi Saijo to criticize Qi Ming a bit, telling him not to go too far in the future.

However, in Nagi Saijo's eyes, who believed "defeating the monster comes first," Qi Ming's actions were perfectly correct!

It was normal for someone to die when a monster was rampaging. What if letting the monster escape now led to a more serious situation next time it appeared?

At that moment, she severely criticized Kishida, who lowered his head, his face a mixture of pale and green.

Seeing that it was about time, Qi Ming stepped in to smooth things over:

"No, thinking about it now, perhaps I was too pessimistic and always thought about the worst-case scenario."

"After all, the fundamental purpose of our battles with monsters is to protect humanity and maintain peace."

"If we can find the monster and eliminate it before it reappears, then teammate Kishida's idea would be correct."

As soon as he said this, Kishida couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Qi Ming.

See, he even has to thank me.
