Ultraman: Matching you with an equally matched daddy

"This is the GUTS team, this is the GUTS team, Delta Force, please respond, Delta Force, please respond."

"Delta Station received. Everything is fine here. After taking inventory, everyone is safe and sound, and there is no damage to the equipment."

The person appearing on the screen was none other than Nanase.

Even though he had just experienced death, he was not afraid at all.

Instead, they calmly organized a team to take inventory and reported back to the winning team.

According to regulations, their Delta Space Station is actually under the jurisdiction of the Space Development Agency, but the Victory Team specializes in investigating all anomalies, so this matter has a higher priority.

And... Officer Nanase couldn't help but look at Rena.

He wasn't afraid of making a sacrifice, but he was afraid of not being able to personally give that lipstick to his beloved daughter.

Lina also looked up at Officer Nanase.

When Ye Rui made contact, she wiped away her tears and put on a strong appearance.

But her red, swollen eyes betrayed the fact that she had just been crying.

The father and daughter looked at each other, both at the Delta Force space station opposite them and at the Victory Team command center on their side.

Everyone was careful not to make a sound.

They were afraid of disturbing the moment when the father and daughter were reunited.

Nanase opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

He shifted his body uncomfortably, inadvertently revealing the lipstick he was clutching in his hand.

"It's a lipstick from that era."

Lina noticed this detail and blurted it out.

When she was nine years old, Nanase neglected her family because she was busy with work.

Therefore, her mother decided to divorce Nanase Kikan.

The day after their divorce was Lina's birthday, and Officer Nanase asked her in advance what gift she wanted for her birthday.

Lina said she wanted a lipstick and even made a pinky promise with Officer Nanase about it.

However, on Lina's birthday, Nanase did not come, and this separation lasted for thirteen years.

It wasn't until thirteen years later that the father and daughter were reunited.

In those few short minutes, Lina's emotions went through several ups and downs.

When she first learned of the incident at Delta Force, she was shocked, saddened, and incredulous, overwhelmed with mixed feelings and unsure of what to think.

Later, when Delta Force fired the Basil Cannon from inside the monster, she silently prayed for a miracle to happen.

Later, the light went out, effectively sealing the fate of Delta Space Station. She herself didn't know what she was thinking.

Is it sadness? Is it grief? Or has it become a loss of all emotions, a form of self-escape?

Even when giants appeared later, they couldn't stir her emotions, because she knew that the dead could not be brought back to life.

When the giant pulled the tattered Delta space station out of the monster's body, she watched indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with her.

But when the giant looked towards the distant horizon, waiting for something, when the constellation Leo, 720 light-years away, shone with a miraculous light.

When that powerful light shone on the Delta space station, time seemed to flow backward.

I saw the intact space station, and the shadowy figures of people.

It was as if they had realized a certain possibility.

Lina's heart was overflowing with emotions, which she could no longer contain, and she broke down in tears.

Originally, she didn't want to expose her vulnerable side to Nanase, the man who abandoned his wife and daughter, and didn't want him to see her embarrassment or her sadness at losing him.

So she wiped away her tears, pretended to be strong, and looked at Nanase.

Nanase's unintentional movement, revealing his lipstick, spoke volumes about his concern for Lina.

This is a lipstick that's thirteen years late, and also a father's love that's thirteen years late.

But it was this lipstick that made Lina unable to maintain her facade of strength any longer; tears instantly filled her eyes, blurring her vision.

She could only manage to utter a single sentence, her voice trembling.

"dad……"

She burst into tears.

"Lina!"

Nanase and Daigo shouted almost simultaneously.

The difference was that Daigo directly hugged Rena and stroked her hair to comfort her.

But Nanase could only reach out her hand in vain from the other side of the screen.

"Pfft~"

This scene, which should have caused the elderly father grief, ironically tickled the funny bone of someone behind Nanase.

"The Imperial Palace—"

This act of rubbing salt into the wound undoubtedly touched a nerve with Officer Nanase, who immediately turned to look at his colleague behind him, glaring at him angrily.

"Don't look at me like that. I think when girls grow up, they should be able to make their own decisions, like about dating and dating..."

Despite the angry look in Nanase's eyes, Asamiya was unfazed and instead laughed and covered for Daigo. He and Nanase had been partners for a long time.

According to the original plot, Asamiya would return to Earth with Captain Nanase in episode 7 of Ultraman Tiga, and would eventually be brutally murdered by the Reicuran aliens.

But at this moment, he can openly tease Nanase, the old man's grief-stricken heart.

Inspired by Asamiya's words, the Delta Force crew, who had previously dared not laugh, and the GUTS team members couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The elderly father, with no one to care for him, could only sulk silently by himself.

Amidst laughter and cheers, after waiting a while longer, it became clear that Leo's mask was indeed impressive.

Takahashi nodded, noting that neither the 278 revived individuals nor the Delta Force space station had encountered any problems.

Its enormous body instantly dissipated into countless particles of light and returned home.

The news on TV, after a brief pause, switched to the next program.

Takahashi picked up his still-warm noodles and ate them while watching the news.

Waiting for news about myself.

Sure enough, he didn't have to wait long.

When this news segment ended, an emergency news segment was inserted during the original "GG" time.

That was a scene of him, in the form of Ultraman Leo, defeating monsters and restoring the Delta Space Station.

The report highlighted the resurrection of all 278 people on the space station and announced that they would be rotated off the station for physical and psychological examinations.

"Finally, after careful consideration, TPC has decided to name this newly appeared giant Ultraman Leo. It stands for LEO, the Ultraman from the constellation Leo."

"what?"

Just as this news was broadcast, at the Chengnan Sports Center, a dejected and pessimistic young man stared wide-eyed.

He looked at Ultraman Leo on TV, then at the lion's eye on his left ring finger, and was completely dumbfounded.

If you are Ultraman Leo, then who am I?

Ultraman Di?

Meanwhile, Takahashi was happily slurping noodles, watching the camera showcasing his impressive skills while eating.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuan, whose home planet L77 was destroyed by the Magma aliens and who ended up on Earth, was unable to sleep at all, despite being in a daze all day long.
