I, Tregear, want to be a good person in my life.

Susaki lowered his head and looked at the bank card in his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally stuffed the bank card into the palm of his hand.

"I can try to create an opportunity for you."

"But I can't guarantee that you will succeed." Susaki looked up at the other party and said seriously.

"Although I don't know how you know that Mu Zhimei and I know each other, we just had a friendship in childhood."

"You know, human emotions are complex and changeable, and we may not miss the friendship of the past."

Hirikawa finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Just do it, and I'll take care of the rest."

"As long as you do what you are supposed to do, the bank card is yours."

Suzaki looked at him seriously: "I just don't understand why you are so obsessed with her..."

Hirikawa did not explain in detail, but just held up three fingers and said: "I promise you again and again that I will never do anything that will harm her interests."

In the end, Susaki agreed to Hirikawa's request.

……

a few days later.

Phoenix Nest Base.

The GUYS gathered together, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird.

"Have you heard about it?" Hisayoshi Tetsuhei lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Everyone looked at him curiously, waiting for what would happen next.

"There seems to be a paranormal incident near our base..."

"Many staff members were discussing privately that they had seen a red ghost!"

Marina Kazama's face froze, a trace of fear flashed across her face, but after a moment she regained her composure: "Tepei, what are you talking about? How could there be something like that in our base!"

Some of the other team members looked curious, while others were vaguely worried.

Some of them have heard the rumor to some extent.

Turtledove George put his right arm on Aihara Ryu's shoulder and raised his eyebrows proudly: "Are there really such things as ghosts? But even if there are, I'm not afraid!"

"Our GUYS team isn't even afraid of a monster as huge as a mountain, let alone a mere ghost?"

"Isn't that right? Ryu!" He patted Aihara Ryu on the shoulder.

Aihara Ryu's body froze, and the expression on his face was as if he had just come to his senses.

"Ah? Oh! Right, right! I don't believe that there is such a thing in this world! We are all young people who have received nine years of compulsory education. We should advocate science and stay away from feudal superstition."

Hibino Mirai asked curiously, "A ghost? I really want to see what a ghost looks like!"

The reason was very simple. He had never heard of it in the Kingdom of Light, let alone seen it, so he wanted to see what it was and whether it was scarier than a monster.

When Assistant Minister Toriyama Shigekichi brought up this topic, his expression became secretive.

As the oldest person in the entire base, he is still somewhat superstitious about these legends of gods and ghosts.

Immediately, he coughed twice and said to everyone earnestly: "Ghosts really exist!"

"You are young and have never heard of it, but when I was a child, strange things happened in the village from time to time, and the old people said it was caused by ghosts."

"An old man once saw with his own eyes a woman in white clothes with her hair loose floating in the sky..."

“We must remain in awe of these things!”

Everyone was skeptical, and felt a chill on their backs as they listened to the assistant officer's serious tone.

It was broad daylight, but I inexplicably felt an eerie atmosphere.

Captain Kirisaki and Captain Sasui each held a cup of coffee in their hands and listened quietly to everyone's idle chat.

Captain Sakumui asked with great interest, "Instructor Kirisaki, what do you think about this?"

Kirisaki took a sip of coffee and smiled, "I'll stand and watch."

Captain Poshui choked on a mouthful of coffee and immediately began coughing violently.

He obviously didn't expect Kirisaki to answer like that.

After finally recovering from his shock, Captain Poshui said, "It is better to believe it than not to believe it!"

Kirisaki shook his head: "I think the stories about gods and ghosts are completely untrue. I just listen to them for fun."

Assistant officer Shigekichi Toriyama felt unhappy when he saw Kirisaki's nonchalant tone.

He stepped forward and said, "Instructor Kirisaki, there are some things that should be feared. If gods and ghosts do not exist, how come every country has similar beings? There were rumors of zombies in the East, demons and vampires in the West... and so on. How do you explain this?"

Kirisaki said nonchalantly, "People just feel an inexplicable fear of the unknown and make terrible assumptions on their own."

"I don't know much about the others. Take zombies for example. In the early years, some people died in foreign countries due to war or plague. People who specialized in transporting corpses would use bamboo sticks to pass through the corpses' armpits and carry them back to their hometowns..."

"Bamboo is elastic, and the corpse was shaking while on the road. People who saw it thought it was the corpse jumping by itself, and that's how the zombie rumor came about..."

Seeing that Kirisaki was determined to deny him, the assistant officer said with a straight face: "Instructor Kirisaki, you are still too young. When you reach my age..."

"When I reach your age, I will also talk nonsense with young people!" Kirisaki said with a smile.

Assistant officer Toriyama Shigeyoshi's face froze, and the words he was about to say were instantly choked back, and his face turned red.

When the GUYS members saw the sinister instructor start to criticize them, some of them even laughed out loud.

In the past, they were always tortured by Kirisaki's evil nature, but now seeing their assistant officer also being humiliated, they felt unexpectedly refreshed.

“You, you, you…” The assistant officer stretched out his finger and pointed at Kirisaki with trembling hands.

Kirisaki put down the cup of coffee he had finished drinking and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke."

"Assistant Officer, I apologize for my rudeness!"

The assistant officer looked much better upon seeing this.

"Hmph..." He snorted coldly and turned around proudly.

Kuze Teppei's eyes sparkled as he said, "I'm actually looking forward to the fact that ghosts really exist. I've heard a lot of horror stories, but I've never seen one with my own eyes..."

Marina Kazama gave him a look of disdain: "Captain Teppei, that's enough. First you were obsessed with monsters, and now you're interested in this kind of thing."

Kuze Teppei was not angry, and explained: "Don't you think those things that you are curious about but have no chance to see are great? If I can't see them, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Marina rubbed her arms, her body trembling slightly. It was really hard to empathize with her, and she even felt a little scared: "I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

Kuze Tetsu asked in retaliation: "Captain Marina, you are not scared anymore, are you?"

Kirisaki took in everyone's reactions. Some were curious, but most were afraid.

He comforted everyone and said, "There's no need to be so scared."

"What if ghosts really exist?"

"The existence of ghosts is actually a comforting thing."

"Imagine that after the elderly in your family pass away, they still turn into ghosts to guard you. Wouldn't that be heartwarming? Elders and relatives have never gone far away, they are always by our side, but it is difficult for us to see them."

"Just thinking about it like this makes me less afraid of ghosts doing harm to us!"

“家里的长辈那么疼爱我们，真有坏人欺负我们，他们不得帮我们揍扁那些坏家伙啊？”

Kirisaki was talking to himself, and when the GUYS team thought about it, they were no longer afraid, and even felt a little bit excited.

Marina Kazama and Amaya Kiyoshi looked at Kirisaki with shining eyes, and they said in unison: "The instructor is so romantic! A scary topic can become so warm in his mouth!"

“He is a real instructor and he also answered our inner doubts!”

"I love it so much!"

……

Kirisaki looked at everyone's reactions and smiled: "Alright! Let's end this topic here! Let's go! Go out and train! Today's task is to run 15 laps!"

Everyone on the GUYS team was petrified.

Marina and Kinomi: ...

Love this shit!

(Filled)

By the time the training was over, everyone on the GUYS team was exhausted.

Under normal circumstances, Kirisaki would naturally not "exploit" their potential like this.

However, these few days have been relatively peaceful, with no monsters appearing...

This is the only way to prevent people from slacking off during peacetime.

Time passed quickly and it was dusk in the blink of an eye.

The golden sunset in the west quickly faded, and the entire sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After spending a day in crazy training, the GUYS team members walked in groups towards the cafeteria.

Aihara Ryu's already messy hair now looked like a rising flame.

He complained: "I really admire this old man, Instructor Kirisaki. He wants to do combat training after running 15 laps..."

"My arms and legs... they're so sore!"

"I really hope I can have a day off right now so I can spend the whole day lying in bed with the same quilt as mine."

Except for Hibino Mirai, the conditions of the others were almost the same as that of Aihara Ryu, and they were extremely exhausted.

"No, I really don't have any strength left." Turtledove George's voice became much lower: "I was never this tired when I played football before."

Kuze Teppei smiled bitterly and said, "Don't mention it. After all, I have already finished running fifteen laps. I still owe Instructor Kirisaki three laps..."

"I thought the instructor would understand my lack of physical strength, but he told me to make up for it next time..."

"If the task is still 15 laps next time, and I have to make up three more laps, that will be 18 laps! That's 18 laps! I don't want to live anymore..."

Marina Kazama and Kinoshiro Amaya were dejected.

Not long ago, the two of them had a good impression of Instructor Kirisaki, but now that impression is gone.

They were treated better than the boys, but not much better.

This elegant instructor has no idea what it means to be gentle and considerate to women...

For Hibino Mirai, who is the human incarnation of an Ultra Warrior, this amount of exercise is enough to cause him to suffer broken bones.

It will naturally be difficult to empathize with everyone's fatigue and pain in the future.

He said nonchalantly, "I think the instructor's training is pretty good. Don't you think your physical strength and endurance have improved a lot?"

"If we keep exercising, each of us will have the physical fitness comparable to that of a "special forces soldier"!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at the "silly and innocent" future. This was a typical case of putting aside the process and the result was good...

However, at this time, he didn't care about the tired people at all, and still had the mood to speak for the instructor...

I just don't want to pay any attention to it!

Tian Gu Mu Zhimei suddenly remembered something and said in a depressed mood: "I don't know what happened to baby King Ai Lei. I haven't seen it in the base for many days."

Baby Airey is a cute member of the GUYS team who was born out of an accidental experiment.

In order to strengthen Miklas, when the "Erewang Module" with electric shock capability was tested, the Mist particle accelerator that produced high-energy molecules failed, and a small artificial monster was created...

The baby King Ailei is small and cute, so he naturally became the favorite of the team.

After Mu Zhimei's reminder, everyone realized that they hadn't seen the baby King Ailei for a long time.

"Really? I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Could it be that the little guy is in a bad mood and hiding? But no one bothers him."

……

After thinking for a while, no one came to a conclusion and had to give up.

Kuze Teppei volunteered: "I'll go investigate after dinner."

Mu Zhimei immediately became interested: "Then I'll leave it to you, Team Member Teppei..."

Zheping waved his hand: "It's a small matter."

Before they knew it, they had reached a street corner.

Kuze Teppei seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said excitedly: "This is it! The staff said that this is where we encountered the red ghost!"

Except for the future, everyone's face froze, and they looked at Kuze Teppei with a little panic and said, "Please, it's okay during the day, but you're still talking about this at night."

Zheping said excitedly, "What are you afraid of? Didn't the instructor tell us that we have deceased elders around us who are protecting us?"

"If there really is a ghost, why would so many of us elders be afraid of just one of them?"

This is the truth, but is it really a good idea to bring this up in this dark place?

Although Aihara Ryu still felt a little scared, he pretended not to care and said, "I don't believe ghosts exist in this world! Even if they do exist, how can I, a man full of vigor and vitality, be afraid of a mere ghost?"

Everyone walked forward while talking, except for Teppei Kuze, who walked in the front and looked around, hoping to see a ghost.

Suddenly, he stopped.

Aihara Ryuichi accidentally bumped into Teppei.

"You kid, why don't you leave?" Aihara Ryu turned his head and was about to scold.

But the next moment, his body stiffened.

Teppei Kuze pointed excitedly at the sky ahead.

Suddenly, there was an illusory red figure floating in the air.

Others also noticed this figure one after another.

"It appears! It's the red ghost!" Kuze Teppei was extremely excited.

"Ghost!"

However, behind him, Ryu Aihara suddenly screamed and turned around to run away.

The burst of speed showed no sign of fatigue from training.
