Sinking Sun

Sinking Sun (沈む太陽 Shizumu Taiyō) is the 103rd chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
Endo struggles to explain Rena's origin to her. Ide discovers the "Research Instituation" of Shiro Maki is an alien-hunting organization. 
== Plot ==
After Endo hurries home, Rena asks him to explain what happened to her. To show her father what she means, she transforms into her Ultraman Suit and un-transforms multiple times. Endo sees no way out and begins explaining.
Edo comes upon Ide doing some research about the private research institute that approached Endo before. Ide's findings are relatively suspicious: the institute is on the grid, but it made up its publicized information. Its creator, goal, and past achievements are all missing, leading to Ide using an old trick he has not used for a long time to obtain the information he seeks. He did find what he was looking for, but also the truth he did not want to know: after Ultraman left Earth, there have been a series of alien hunts, conspired by many significant figures from various nations in secrecy. At first, the Public Security Bureau was responsible for this in Japan. But they separated from the government for their safety and founded this private research institute. Rumor has it they are still hunting aliens to this day. Ide hopes to find out why the institute has approached Endo by investigating some past cases. He is also frustrated that alien hunting is still happening under their noses. Edo is still collecting his thoughts about continuing the explanation of his intrigue to everyone. For that, he is building a new virtual void. Ide hopes Edo does not make the Ultramen feel estranged from the Ultraman persona.
Endo finally finishes explaining Rena's origins, and the latter stays silent. The sudden surge of information put her brain in chaos, and she needs some time alone. Rena returns to her room, visibly saddening Endo, who only wanted to be a father...
