Ultraman Light and Shadow Traveler

Chapter 568
The bond between humans and Ultraman on this earth has come to an end again.

After several Ultramen left one after another, the aliens who had been huddled on the earth were relieved, and the days of fear were finally over.

Although they didn't want to cause trouble, they were always uneasy, just like when their water meters were checked, for fear that their water meters were wrong.

No one expected that the dark haze covered by Emperor Ampera could pass so quickly.

But for ordinary humans after the inexplicable war, every day in the future may still be an ordinary day.

……

Amusement park in the dim yellow sunset.

At any time, there will be no shortage of laughter here, which is completely different from the dead, depressed and desolate past.

Although the darkness that can be eaten is much less than other places, Gen Hoshino does not reject it.

After all, an amusement park is a place that brings happiness and happiness to people.

"Big brother, you've been getting more and more lazy recently, no wonder business is not good."

The kid in the small street shop next door, who always ate and drank, smelled the scent and touched it as usual, and said disgustedly while looking at the bear biscuits that were still baking.

"I heard that you still owe money. It's so pitiful. You have to work to pay off your debts at a young age, but you still haven't opened the store on time. Look, there are not many people in the amusement park."

Gen Hoshino, who was reading a comic book, twitched his lips.

He squinted at the past, and said with a serious face: "What do you know about a kid who hasn't graduated from kindergarten! I went to save the world, otherwise the world would be over!"

"I'm a first-year student this year!"

"Which world needs you to save?!"

The child's dissatisfied retort sounded together with a clear girl's voice.

So, the two boys who were about to quarrel every day also heard the sound and looked at it at the same time. Gen Hoshino was so shocked that he dropped the comic book in his hand.

"Little...Sakura?!"

"Wow, miss, you actually found him in such a big amusement park!"

……

The dim golden afterglow fell on the tables and chairs in front of the store.

There was still some residual heat in the baking pan that had been turned off, and the child kicked a pair of legs, sat on the chair, ate the biscuits and looked back and forth at the two people opposite him with eyes that were watching the show.

At a young age, he already had the heart to catch gossip.

"It seems that you haven't been back there for a long time... I mean that place, you haven't touched those things." After a long silence, the girl spoke first.

After seeing this guy's furious eyebrows at first, Sakura also slowly regained her composure, and asked some tentatively.

"Well, I've been here recently." Gen Hoshino nodded with his head down.

"Then why didn't you tell me!" Speaking of this, Sakura couldn't help becoming angry again: "I thought you disappeared! No matter how I look for it, I can't see you, and I don't need the things left for you. What you said before...then tell me about your safety too!"

"Ah, no!" Gen Hoshino raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and quickly explained: "I'm not angry with you, but I have another life, so it's not convenient to say..."

The girl frowned and looked at him puzzled.

At this time, the little kid eating the biscuit suddenly raised his hand and smiled and said, "Big sister, I know! He owes a lot of money, so he can only come here to sell biscuits to pay back the money!"

Sakura turned around in surprise.

Gen Hoshino gritted his teeth and glared at him: "Shut up! Go back now!"

Just after killing the child, Sakura who was next to him glared at him even more imposingly: "That's it?! Don't yell at him!"

The young man shook his neck, he always felt apologetic towards Sakura, so he didn't dare to say anything at this time.

The young girl patted the table aggressively, and said angrily: "Isn't it just money, I'll help you pay back how much you owe first! Brother Yuan, you can pay me back later!"

The little kid who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement opened his mouth wide and applauded.

Hoshino Gen gave her a strange look.

If you really do the math for Hikari, starting from the day Ulster appeared, plus the destroyed street buildings and even GUYS equipment, he probably wouldn’t be able to pay off his baked biscuits for the rest of his life...

Of course the young man now knows that the master's original intention is not to let him sell his life to bake biscuits to pay off his debts, but to use this to hone his will.

And now, it's time to completely close the stall.

Looking at his hesitant eyes, Sakura looked at his hesitant eyes, and then quickly lowered her momentum, she puffed her cheeks and whispered: "Brother Yuan, I didn't mean to suppress your masculinity, but, why don't you return other people's money?" Isn't it okay to pay me back in the future? Don't worry, I won't ask you to pay it back!"

It seems that the girl understands the boy's passion for middle school, and she helped pick up the comic books that fell on the floor.

The afterglow of the setting sun was dimmed, and the lights in some remote areas of the amusement park were lit up.

Gen Hoshino glanced at the dark blue horizon, avoided the topic, got up and said, "It's very late, if you don't go back, the family will be worried."

"Eh?" Sakura looked up at him, stunned for a moment, then hummed, "What about you?"

"I'll take you back."

Gen Hoshino finished speaking calmly, and in an instant pinched the face of the little kid next to him with a grim expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you little kid who is a first-year student, go back quickly, I packed all the biscuits for you today !"

The child whose cheeks were flushed from being pulled was so painful that he squeezed out physical tears, holding the paper bag containing biscuits, pouted and glared at the boy dissatisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't need to pay money, he would have already turned on the poisonous tongue mode! !
Until the two turned around and walked away, the child was still a little angry.

But when he suddenly glanced at the unclosed pavement next to him, and then looked at the figure disappearing in the setting sun, he was slightly taken aback, hugging the paper bag in his arms tightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The biscuit stand doesn't charge at all, so he doesn't want it? !
……

Hoshino Gen followed behind the girl, really conscientiously planning to send Sakura home once.

But as the two walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong with the road.

With a feeling of familiarity and strangeness, and a little long-term memory, the boy can instantly return to the life before he was picked up by Hirgno.

A little closer to the memory, and I can think of when he was brought by Hikari, the two lived here.

But then the earth became more and more chaotic, and now he stays on Monster Island most of the time, so it really has been a long time since he returned to his old dilapidated den.

Seeing Sakura with a serious face, Gen Hoshino was a little embarrassed.

"Go back to your house, why are you here?"

"I'll send you back first!" Xiao Sakura put on a stubborn face, and the girl showed a different kind of strength at this time: "You can pay me back the money in the future, and I will give you the money you owe others first." Still on!"

"Uh……"

Standing in front of this small building with an unknown thickness of dust, Gen Hoshino couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Sakura seemed to realize something, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Then... if you live in another place now, you can take me there too, I will send it to you first." You go back, Brother Yuan, you send me back..."

I don't know how many troubles have been caused by going around, Gen Hoshino glanced at the sky, then sighed and sat in the corridor in front of the small building.

Seeing this, Xiao Sakura gathered her skirt and sat down with him without feeling dirty.

"After that day, I have lived in many places." Gen Hoshino began to speak.

The first sentence made Sakura blush a little embarrassingly. Of course, she knew which day she was talking about, and the relationship between the two had also been separated since then.

The moment she was given up, the girl was really resentful, so she did and said too much for a while.

But after she calmed down completely and thought about it, she also felt that Yuan could not be blamed.

No matter who it is, in the face of such fear, it is probably impossible to maintain reason, let alone an event such as a "disaster", which is a source of psychological trauma?
And in her heart, she still couldn't let go of that boy's thoughts.

Gen Hoshino picked up a shriveled broken branch, poked the soil on the ground, and continued to speak slowly: "I later lived in the mountains..."

"It was so cold that I shivered at night, I hadn't eaten for a few days, and I was thrown into the sea without mercy. I was in such a mess, and I was going to be disgusted by them, and I was thrown around like a rag doll..."

"But later, I actually came back to live here again, and then lived on the monster island in the Pacific Ocean, and even lived in an alien spaceship...I didn't expect that I had experienced so much."

"Oh, by the way, Monster Island should not be called Monster Island, just because I think there are a lot of monsters on it."

When Gen Hoshino finished speaking while shaking the branch, he turned around and saw the girl looking at him with a strange expression of one point of shock, two points of dullness, three points of surprise, and four points of pity.

Hoshino Gen: "...it's true."

Xiao Ying coughed, looked away embarrassedly, stroked the hair on her forehead and said, "Then...then who do you owe money to?"

"Social Construction Engineering."

"???"

"Master said that my waywardness caused a lot of losses in the early stage, so I have to do something." Gen Hoshino scratched his head in embarrassment, and he was a little embarrassed to mention his black history.

Sakura looked at him blankly.

Then I thought again, Brother Yuan's reaction must be because he was ashamed of his masculinity and embarrassed to explain the truth to her, it doesn't matter, she just went back and checked.

"Oh, okay." Thinking of this, Sakura wisely didn't break up with the boy, and then asked: "Then where do you live now? Is it at the man's house that day? What is his identity? Isn't he in Tokyo? In Osaka ?”

It was Gen Hoshino's turn to look at her in shock.

Sakura, who suddenly realized that she was overstepping, grabbed her skirt and said nervously: "He speaks with an Osaka accent..."

"..." Gen Hoshino was startled.

He thought about the scene where Shika spoke with an Osaka accent, and then thought that the master might be nearby now, so he suddenly felt a little pain in his head.

"You...don't make random guesses..." Hoshino hugged his head in pain: "Listen to me."

Sakura nodded obediently, as if I would believe everything you said.

"First of all, what I say is true."

"Uh-huh."

"Do you know Ultraman?"

"Hmmmm... eh?"

I don't know why he suddenly mentioned this girl and tilted his head in doubt.

Gen Hoshino took a deep breath, opened his palm, dark particles flickered in the dim yellow afterglow, and a dark spark scepter with engraved patterns condensed and appeared.

Sakura was stunned: "You...you can turn into a lollipop?"

Gen Hoshino, who was about to speak, was silent for a while.

He stood up, enlarged the transforming device into the current dark scepter of equal height, and then held it horizontally in front of him with both hands.

The boy looked down at the dazed girl, and asked, "What do you think this looks like?"

……

What was shown on TV, what was printed in newspapers, and what was shown in my father's work documents—all clearly showed its origin.

Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

This very representative thing, as well as the ability shown by the boy just now, seem to be used as strong evidence.

Invisibly cut the distance between them.

The two of them stood in front of this dilapidated small building under the afterglow, and the dim dusk made the atmosphere even more pale.

However, there seemed to be questions in her heart that she had always wanted to know, questions that had not been answered since the beginning.

"You...where are you going?"

"I became Ultraman Ulster, Sakura, and I'm going to the universe."

Sakura looked at him for a while, then lowered her head, the hair on her forehead made Gen Hoshino unable to see her expression clearly.

"Did you actually save me that day?" Suddenly, Sakura suddenly raised her head again, staring at him with wide eyes and asked.

Gen Hoshino originally wanted to say no, but facing the girl's ambiguous gaze, his voice froze for a moment, and he nodded subconsciously, and responded lightly.

Sakura also stood up, and the short girl looked up at the boy in front of her, and said seriously: "So, as an Ultraman, you are really going to be a hero to save the world, and then create your own Is it a legend?"

Gen Hoshino was stunned when he heard this suddenly, the girl stared at him with puffy cheeks, and suddenly laughed again.

"I didn't expect...some people would read comics as reality, so if I read the comics of Galaxy Princess..."

"Wait, Sakura, don't cry!"

"You're leaving so you don't make people cry..."

"..."

In the end, Gen Hoshino coaxed the girl in a hurry for a long time, until the dark blue of the horizon spread to the sky, he put down his hands in a complicated mood.

"Sakura, I have to go."

The girl also seemed to realize something, raised her head and looked at him sobbingly: "Are you going to fly away? Then I will watch you fly..."

Hoshino Gen: "..." This is a bit weird.

However, between his childhood sweetheart and the sea of ​​stars, the young man chose the sea of ​​stars that fell from the sky.

He took a few steps back and smiled at the girl. The scepter in his hand turned into dark particles and dissipated, enveloping the youth like a whirlwind. A black beam of light bloomed under the sky, revealing the giant Ulster darkness posture.

After the silver-gray eyes glanced at the girl for the last time, Ultraman Darkness turned into a stream of light and rushed to the sky.

"Brother Yuan——! When I go back, I will read the manga of Princess Galaxy!!" Sakura ran two steps, waving to the sky and shouting.

After the voice fell, the dark streamer turned obviously.

……

After Ulster flew into the air, the blue streamer followed behind him.

"You can actually choose to stay on Earth."

"But I think the boundless universe is more interesting than the earth. Otherwise, master, why don't you stay on the earth, and use the identity of Serizawa Kazuya."

Hikari looked at him sideways and smiled: "You have to work hard for the next challenge."

"No problem at all! My fighting spirit is super high!!"

……

"Master, if you want to kill me, just say so."

　Hiss... There was a plot of Outland that was supposed to be placed at the end here, but it was written and found that it couldn't be integrated.

　　By the way, happy Valentine's Day everyone~
