Chapter 40 The Ancient Giant of Light - Daga, Also a Lone Wolf
Kaul suddenly realized that the ancient people were no different from modern people. Apart from the difference in the year, they were exactly the same. This was especially true when they were in a group together. They were completely conformist and lacked individual intelligence.
Moreover, he felt that as long as he went along with the other party and provided psychological guidance, Daga would be a perfect long-term meal ticket for him, or even the best helper to help the ancient civilization achieve better things, when he had no understanding of the ancient civilization at all.
Having realized this, Caul's panic vanished instantly, replaced by mental calculations and a composed gaze.
"Cough...cough cough..." Kaul gave up his struggle, instantly transforming his frightened expression into regret, and finally into an incredibly sincere heartache.
"Daga...Big Brother..." Kaul put his five years of training for Little Taurus into full use. In D60, he not only practiced martial arts but also studied space monsters every day, trained in acting, and even practiced plays with Little White and his two older brothers every night to hone his skills.
"What?!" Daga still glared at him fiercely, but after hearing that he had called his name and his older brother correctly, he loosened his grip on Kaul a little.
Kaul turned the tears of pain into tears of shame.
"I'm sorry," Caul said clearly and with emotion.
Daga hadn't expected that after being scolded for so long, the other person not only wouldn't retaliate but would actually apologize. He was momentarily at a loss for words: "You... don't give me that crap. Do you think I'll forgive you brainless meal replacement fans just by playing the victim and apologizing? Will you still be apologizing in a few days?"
"No, Brother Tiga, I understand what you're thinking. Those people in the city, those fans who only care about appearances, they don't understand you at all, they don't even understand Tiga! They treat you as a substitute because their souls are too barren, while you are a lone wolf, and Tiga is like a central air conditioner, treating everyone the same way."
"The red color you wear is the best symbol of not compromising with the world, it's a burning fighting spirit! That's what makes you unique!"
Gaddy, who was lying down playing nearby, was completely stunned when he heard what Caul said, staring at Caul with his mouth agape.
Daga was also frozen in place. This was the first time in so many years that he had heard someone acknowledge him. Ever since the battle against the darkness ended, all the other giants' attention had been drawn to Tiga, while he, because he most resembled Tiga, received the worst treatment... He was even initially called an imitator... and no one remembered his name...
Some people even said, "Why can't you be as gentle as Ultraman Tiga?" and shouted "Tiga-sama!" at him... He didn't want to experience any of that again...
Ironically, she had a very good relationship with Tiga at the beginning, so she couldn't really resent him... Because of this, the two of them drifted further and further apart.
And the person in front of him actually praised him in such straightforward words.
Most importantly, this person also knew that Tiga's true thoughts were not what they originally thought, but were just misinterpreted, and did not try to flatter himself by belittling Tiga.
However, the term "central air conditioning" really describes Tiga perfectly; he treats everyone the same, which infuriates even himself. Why doesn't he try to explain things to him? And the Earth Star Guard doesn't offer any assistance either...
"You...you bastard..." Daga carefully put Kaul down, then turned his back. Although he still looked angry, he couldn't suppress his secret pleasure, and his shoulders were trembling. "I'm absolutely not happy because you told the truth, absolutely...not at all."
"That's normal, because the truth doesn't need thanks. I'm just stating the truth that's unknown to others," Caul continued, even walking over to Gaddy and ruffling Gaddy's big head.
"Moreover," Caul continued without holding back, "a man who can remain clear-headed amidst the clamor of the world, who would rather forgo the pursuit of vanity than live in seclusion in the mountains with his monster companions—what tenderness and steadfastness must his heart possess?"
"Woof!" Gaddy understood that Kaul was praising him, and very cooperatively rubbed against Kaul's hand, while his tail started to wag.
For the Giant Dog of Light, what he likes most is playing with people, and Kaul is the kind of person he likes very much.
"Ahem... well..." Daga cleared his throat, took a rather large piece of roasted meat and placed it on the small table next to him. "Since you can tell that I'm different, you can have this. After you finish eating, go take a shower in the guest bathroom. Gedi will tell you. Also, don't touch Gedi's toys."
After speaking, Daga walked stiffly, even somewhat awkwardly, to his small room, closed the door, and entered his private space.
Seeing Daga close the door, Kaul breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the other party would not do anything bad to him, he was still under some pressure. After all, he did not understand the other party at all, nor did he know what had happened in the ancient times 30 million years ago, nor did he know the personality of each person. His foresight was basically useless.
Therefore, everything can only be speculated upon, and helping him achieve the ancient era would also be a good ending.
"However, it seems that Daga is a bit arrogant and even a little socially awkward. This is truly an ancient world that I never imagined..." Kaul muttered to himself as he walked to the dining table and began to eat.
He didn't stand on ceremony, because his stomach had been growling loudly for a while and was about to digest everything on its own.
"Mmm...delicious!" Kaul's eyes lit up as soon as he took a bite. Although he didn't know what kind of monster's meat it was, the meat was very firm and contained spices unique to the ancient times. It tasted better than what he had eaten at Chenfan before.
The man and his dog were enjoying their meal by the fire. Gaddy looked at the little guy who not only praised his owner but also tried to steal his food, and his eyes grew even more affectionate.
I've found a really great companion, much better than the cats and dogs I had before.
After eating and drinking his fill, Caul was directed by Gedi to the bathroom to wash up, which finally cleared his mind, which had been confused by the time-space chaos.
After washing up, Kaul changed into a set of ancient clothing that Daga had thrown over from outside the door. Although it was a bit too big for Kaul, at least he was presentable.
When they came out of the bathroom, they saw Daga sitting by the campfire, meticulously carving on a piece of wood with a carving knife, seemingly making a new frisbee for Gedi.
Seeing Kaul enter, Daga didn't even raise his head: "Haven't you eaten? Got cleaned up? Then tell me what you are. I've seen plenty of ancient commoners and giants of light, but you have both light and an unclear aura. However, you're not a member of the Dark Familiar. You're not from Earth, are you?"
