Chapter 1889: Everything's Out in the Open

"On another note, won't your presence here interfere with your duties of exercising the will of Earth?"

"will not."

"Wouldn't that affect your authority as the will of Earth?"

"It will have some impact, but it will just mean that it will take more time to complete the use of a certain power."

Through the question and answer, Gu Chen was able to put his mind at ease for the time being.

Xingyao's problem has been resolved, but many difficulties await him in the future.

How to properly guide the will of a human being on Earth is an unprecedented challenge.

If successful, Xingyao will not repeat her past mistakes and will instead guide Earth's civilization to develop rapidly in the future.

Failure could lead Earth and humanity to utter destruction.

This shows the kind of pressure Gu Chen must be under.

However, this also made him truly feel what it means to be a father.

Although his daughter is many times older than him, in terms of life experience, Gu Chen is fully capable of being Xing Yao's father.

After resolving a major issue on her mind, Xingyao returned to normal, wiped away her tears, and happily ran to the living room to watch TV.

"It's time to eat!"

Just then, Julian's voice came from the first floor, announcing that it was time for dinner.

Needless to say, this will be a very lively dinner, after all, Gu Chen's house hasn't been this lively in a long time.

……

Just as Fengyuan had told Shirato Jun and Aoshima Ichiro before, the next day, Gu Chen announced the concert arrangements to Oyama Kazuki and others at the UGM headquarters.

As a traditional activity of the defense force, this team building activity was naturally something all members were required to participate in.

Moreover, it's not just the members from the Far East headquarters who will be participating; Nan Meng and others who were dispatched elsewhere will also be temporarily recalled to participate in this concert, which will also make it easier for them to get together afterward.

After all, Dan Moroboshi and the others have returned. If Nanmeng and the others don't come back, it just feels like something is missing.

Besides, every defense team should be in perfect formation; it would be quite unpleasant to see one or two people missing.

Soon, the time for the concert arrived.

Before entering, all the defense team members, from the Science Special Search Party to UGM, gathered together in an open space behind the hall to wait for the entry arrangements.

"team leader!!!"

"Captain Moroboshi!!!"

From a distance, the former MAC team members saw Dan Moroboshi and immediately waved their arms, shouting as they rushed towards him.

"Oh, it's been a long time."

Seeing this, Dan Moroboshi also showed a bright smile, while waving his arms in response to his old teammates.

"Captain, where have you been for the past four years?"

"Yes, yes, we've been looking for you for a long time, but we haven't been able to find you, and we haven't heard a single word from you."

"Did the advisor send you on some secret mission?"

"Captain, you've lost weight."

The former MAC team members surrounded Dan Moroboshi, as if they had something they had been holding back for four years and wanted to say it all to him at once.

"Not at all, I just went back to my hometown. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Surrounded by the enthusiastic cheers of his teammates, Moroboshi Dan felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"The captain's hometown? Where is it? There's no reason why we wouldn't know anything about it."

"Yes, yes, and if it's just going back to their hometown and not carrying out a secret mission, not giving us any news at all is really too much."

"To be honest, Captain, do you not care about us team members at all?"

Clearly, Dan Moroboshi's answer did not satisfy the team members, and more words immediately poured out at him.

Seeing this, Dan Moroboshi smiled and glanced at the team members surrounding him. Seeing the genuine joy and concern in their eyes, he finally made a decision.

Outside the crowd, Kiriyama Kaoru looked at Moroboshi Dan, who was surrounded by his teammates, and couldn't help but sigh, "That Dan kid has grown into a respected and beloved captain."

"That's all thanks to Captain Kiriyama as a role model. You've trained a great soldier."

Muramatsu Toshio, with his pipe dangling from his lips, took a few more puffs before entering the room. After hearing Kiriyama Kaoru's remark, he spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Kiriyama Kaoru shook his head, not believing that Moroboshi Dan's popularity among his teammates was due to having a captain who could serve as a role model.

Kiriyama Kaoru knew very well that he hadn't done as well as Muramatsu Toshio had described as a team leader.

At that time, he was subject to the highest-ranking officer of the Earth Defense Force, who issued many orders that went against his own wishes.

He still finds it hard to let go of these past events.

Just as she was thinking this, Kiriyama Kaoru suddenly widened her eyes, because Moroboshi Dan had done something that surprised everyone.

While Kiriyama Kaoru and Muramatsu Toshio were talking, Moroboshi Dan said to his team members, "During my absence, I have been thinking of you all and I long to reunite with you."

Upon hearing Dan Moroboshi's words, the original MAC team members all fell silent, listening as Dan Moroboshi continued, "It's just a pity that my hometown is very, very far from here, and there are also many other things that take up my energy."

“I have been hiding something from you all this time, and I feel somewhat guilty for betraying your trust and love for me.”

As he spoke, Dan Moroboshi reached his hand inside his clothes.

Hearing what Dan Moroboshi said, not only the former MAC team members were curious, but everyone else looked at Dan Moroboshi.

After hearing Dan Moroboshi's words, Hayata and the others only paused for a moment before realizing what Dan Moroboshi was planning to do.

"Now, I want to confess something to you, and that is my true identity."

Under the curious gazes of his teammates, Dan Moroboshi took out the Ultra Glasses from inside his clothes and showed them to everyone.

"Glasses?"

Daisuke Sato tilted his head, puzzled.

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Dan Moroboshi smiled without saying a word, and did not put on the Ultra Glasses, but simply activated the power of light within his body.

Instantly, Seven's phantom appeared on Dan Moroboshi's body.

Upon seeing this, the team members surrounding Dan Moroboshi were immediately startled and took a step back.

"Captain, you are...you are...you are Seven?!"

"Severn!"

"Severn!!"

"Seven!!!"

Kiriyama Kaoru's eyes widened, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Seven... I see. Perhaps I should have thought of that sooner."

Every defense force has an Ultra Warrior, except for the Ultra Guard. Now it seems that it's not that they don't have one, but rather that Dan Moroboshi hid it too well.
