THE LIAR. 03

You stare at him, your mouth agape, struggling to comprehend what you're seeing. "Is this a joke?" you ask, your voice trembling. But the gravity in his expression tells you it's anything but. "What is a Kaiju doing here?"

He sighs deeply, leaning against the wall with a mix of weariness and resolve. "It's a long story," he begins, his voice steady yet heavy. "I'm not joking. This is why I brought you here. You needed to see it for yourself."

"Ken, I'm calling the police! What on earth is going on?" The panic in your voice is palpable as you clutch your phone tightly.

Ken holds up his hands, a calming gesture, but his eyes remain fixed on the creature. "Please, just hear me out," he pleads, his voice low and soothing. "I know it looks unbelievable, but it's not here to harm anyone. I found it—injured and alone—after a battle. It had this look in its eyes... I couldn't just leave it to die."

Your gaze flits nervously to the creature, which now regards you with wide, innocent eyes. Its scales glisten faintly, casting eerie patterns on the floor. Despite its size, there's something disarmingly childlike about it. "Why would you keep a Kaiju in your house?" you ask, taking a hesitant step back.

Ken crosses his arms, a flicker of both amusement and sincerity in his eyes. "It's not what you think," he says. "It's just a baby. And it's not dangerous. It was abandoned, left behind after its mother was defeated. I couldn't let it suffer."

Your mind races as you try to make sense of his words. "A battle? So, you just... brought it here magically?"

Ken steps closer, his gaze intense and earnest. He reaches out and places a small, round object into your hand. "This," he says softly, "is the Ultraman watch."

Your heart races as the watch begins to glow, revealing the symbol of the giant hero. "What does this have to do with anything?" you ask, confusion and awe battling in your voice.

Without a word, Ken gently guides your hand to his wrist. The room around you starts to distort, and the creature lets out a low, rumbling growl. Ken's body begins to transform—his clothes shred as he grows, his skin shifting to a metallic sheen. Within moments, he stands before you, towering and clad in the iconic red and silver suit of Ultraman.

You gasp, taking a step back, your eyes wide with disbelief. "Ken?" you whisper, your voice trembling as you try to process the transformation. The creature, now visibly excited, leaps with joy, causing the ground to shake slightly.

Ken, now in full Ultraman regalia, kneels before you. His helmeted face seems to soften, and you can feel his intense gaze through the visor. "I found the baby Kaiju after a battle with its mother. She was defeated, and it was left behind, scared and injured. I couldn't leave it to fend for itself or to become a threat. That's why I brought it here—to heal it and understand it."

His words resonate deeply, and you see the same tenderness in his eyes now magnified through the suit. You are overwhelmed, a mixture of shock and a deep, emotional understanding washing over you. "Ken," you say softly, "I... I had no idea..I..."

Ken's voice, now echoing through the suit, is both fierce and reassuring. "I understand it's a lot to take in. But this is my duty—to protect and maintain balance. And I need you to trust me."

As the realization settles in, you look at the baby Kaiju, its innocent eyes now reflecting a new sense of hope. "I do trust you," you say, a tear escaping your eye. "I just didn't realize... how extraordinary you are."

Kenji's form starts to shimmer and shrink, the Ultraman suit folding in on itself until it disappears, leaving him in his boxers and tank top, and the messy hair you love. He stands before you, looking slightly disheveled but human again, his expression weary and vulnerable.

"It's... hard to live this way," Kenji admits, his voice heavy with emotion. He rubs his eyes as if trying to erase the weight of his dual existence.

"I kept you away because I didn't want you to end up like my mother."

You blink, stunned. "What do you mean?"

Kenji takes a deep breath, his gaze falling to the floor. "My mother knew about my... father's responsibilities. She supported him, but it was hard on her. Being so close to this life, the constant danger—it took a toll."

" I saw the stress, the fear that he may not be back.

"I didn't want the same for you."

"I didnt want you to have a future where you were chained to a man who is more focused on the world than his lover." He said, looking to the side, and where the Kaijou lay, looking sadly.

"Because for you..I would burn the world and the Kaijou's inside it."
