Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Director Sawai got into the car and looked at Obik's noodle stall through the window, saying with a sigh, "The times are developing too fast these days, almost changing every day. There must be many old people like Obik who have been abandoned by the times."

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do about it." Shen Yun nodded, looking at Obik's noodle stall, and said softly, "Modernization is the tide of the times and a manifestation of social progress."

"All we can do is organize volunteers to visit and comfort these elderly people, and try our best to help them keep up with the times."

As Shen Yun spoke, he started the car and, escorted by the Victory Team, drove towards the TPC base.

As Shen Yun drove, he said, "The reason I proposed developing tourism in the monster reserve was simply to subtly help Obik accept this new era."

"Because nothing in this world is unchanging."

"With our current level of technology, it probably won't be long before we enter the interstellar age and begin interstellar colonization."

"By then, what people will miss may not be the village, but the Earth itself."

Shen Yun took this matter in stride.

The progress of the times inevitably involves the disappearance of some things.

People tend to unconsciously romanticize past memories.

I miss the carefree days of playing in the fields when I was a child.

I miss the carefree days of my student years, when I was in my prime.

However, if you really asked them to go back and relive those experiences, probably not many people would be willing to go back to the past.

Because reminiscing about the past and going back to school are two different things.

Go back to school?

Even the dog wouldn't turn back.

Especially for seniors in high school.

"That makes sense," Sawai nodded.

He was well aware of this, recognizing it as an inevitability of the times.

No one can change it.

……

The acquisition of land in Yano Street, the relocation of residents, and the construction of a monster protection zone were quickly put on the agenda.

The relocation of residents and the construction of the monster protection zone can be completed in four or five months at most.

Sawai even left his phone number and told Obik to call him if he had any difficulties, and he would do his best to help.

This deeply moved Obik.

The situation with Obik has now been perfectly resolved.

After resolving Obik's matter, some time passed.

During this period, Karen conducted a large number of simulation experiments every day.

To date, Karen has conducted tens of thousands of simulations of subspace isolation technology.

Furthermore, Kallen incorporated data from previously appearing monsters, as well as data from Tiga, into the simulation experiments and performed calculations. After tens of thousands of simulation experiments, the results did not show any major problems.

It can be said that the only thing missing for subspace isolation technology to be practically applied is real-world testing with real monsters.

But what monster could he possibly test for such a long time?

Shen Yun frowned and began to think carefully.

Wait, it seems there are some.

Shen Yun suddenly remembered King Morat, who was unable to move during the day.

Isn't this a perfect experimental subject?

He remembered that this King Morat seemed to have appeared in a zoo where Daigo and Rena went on a date.

As for why Shen Yun remembers it so clearly, it's mainly because the famous scene in this episode was too hilarious.

So much so that just thinking about it makes me chuckle.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun also pulled up Daigo and Rena's attendance records to check their recent vacation arrangements.

For organizations like Victory, taking time off usually requires advance application.

However, when the team is not too busy, the two members usually take turns taking time off.

After Shen Yun pulled up Daigo and Lina's attendance records, he discovered that their leave had been scheduled for tomorrow.

"We'll have to wait until tomorrow..." Shen Yun closed the PDI, came up behind Karen, gently patted her shoulder, and smiled, "Alright, that's enough for today. You've worked so hard these past few days. How about we go to the zoo tomorrow?"

"A zoo? Great!" Karen nodded happily, then asked, "Does the zoo we're going to have pandas?"

"Why do you suddenly want to see pandas?" Shen Yun asked Karen, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm." Karen tilted her head, tapped the corner of her lips with her index finger, and made a meaningless syllable. Then she said, "Because I've seen a lot of videos and photos of pandas online recently, and I think pandas are very cute, so I want to see them in person."

"There are only two zoos with pandas in all of Japan. I'll take you to see them next time," Shen Yun said with a helpless smile.

"Alright then. It's settled then." Karen smiled, looking quite playful and cute.

"Okay." Shen Yun smiled and ruffled Karen's hair.

……

the next day.

Daigo and Rena are enjoying a well-deserved vacation.

The two changed into casual clothes early in the morning and went to visit the most famous zoo in the vicinity, Metro Zoo.

Although there are no rare animals like giant pandas or red-crowned cranes in the Metro Zoo.

But lions, leopards, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and other common animals are still quite common.

Especially since these animals are surrounded by many adorable cubs.

"So cute!" Lina felt completely healed looking at the adorable baby animals.

"They're having so much fun." Lina smiled as she watched the elephants and giraffes playing and frolicking with their companions.

Looking at these large animals, Lina couldn't help but think of monsters.

"If animals this big can be kept in zoos, then monsters should be able to too."

Daigo, holding a map of the Metro Zoo, jogged over to Rena and gently tapped her shoulder with the map.

"Lina."

"Huh?" Lina snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Daigo.

Seeing Rena looking so preoccupied, Daigo asked curiously, "What's wrong? You seem so listless."

"No," Lina shook her head and smiled.

"It's a rare holiday, so I should relax a bit," Daigo said with a smile.

"That's right."

"Let's go check out the ranch," Daigo suggested, pointing to the ranch on the map.

"OK."

Following the map in their hands and the signs along the road, the two headed toward the ranch inside the zoo.

Halfway there, Lina suddenly saw two familiar figures from behind.

She squinted and looked at it, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Lina quickly remembered.

She quickly patted Daigo's arm, pointed to the two figures standing in the seal enclosure, and asked:

"Daigo, look! Aren't they the Doctor and Kallen?"

Daigo looked in the direction Rena was pointing, and after seeing it clearly, he said somewhat uncertainly:

"It does look somewhat like it, let's go take a look."

"Okay, sure." Lina nodded.

The two jogged all the way to the seal enclosure.

Karen stood in front of the fence, watching with great interest the seals inside the park slapping their bellies loudly.

"Shen Jun, these seals are really interesting. The little seals are so fluffy and cute." Karen was very happy.

Seeing Karen's happy expression, Shen Yun smiled as well.

He made a point of bringing Karen to this zoo before Daigo and Rena did.

By the time Daigo and Rena arrived, they had almost finished their sightseeing.

This arrangement allows you to have both fun and work without any conflict.

At this moment, Daigo and Rena arrived at the seal enclosure. As they got closer, they were able to see the two of them clearly.

"It really is the Doctor and Kallen-chan." Lina's eyes were full of gossip.

"Let's go up and say hello," Daigo suggested.

"Okay." Lina nodded.

"PhD!"

"Karen-chan!" The two ran up to Shen Yun and Karen and greeted them.

"Lina!" Karen was also pleasantly surprised to see Lina.

"Are you two on a date?" Shen Yun looked at the two of them, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a mischievous expression.

He remembered that this zoo was probably where Daigo and Rena had their first date.

"..." Daigo scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lina blushed slightly and retorted playfully, "Isn't the Doctor the same?"

Shen Yun smiled, ignoring the question, and said, "Since we've run into each other, why don't we go together?"

"Okay." Daigo nodded.

"Where are you planning to go?" Shen Yun asked.

"We were just about to go check out the ranch," said Daiko.

"That's quite a coincidence, the only place we haven't visited yet is the ranch," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Let's go together then," Lina said with a grin, linking her arm with Karen's.

The four of them went to the ranch area of ​​Metro Zoo together.

Many cows are kept inside the fence of the ranch.

They were leisurely grazing, and one of them even poked its head out of the fence.

"How cute!" Lina exclaimed, her face full of affection as she looked at the calf with its head sticking out of the fence.

"Yes, so cute!" Karen nodded in agreement.

"It looks just like Horii," Daigo blurted out, looking at the calf.

"Hey Daigo, if Horii heard you say that, he'd probably want to kill you," Shen Yun teased.

"As long as we don't tell Horii, isn't that enough?" Daigo laughed and said.

"Can I touch it?" Lina looked at the calf and wanted to touch it.

"Cows are very gentle and intelligent animals. If they weren't so big, they would be even more suitable as pets than dogs," Shen Yun said.

"Really?" Lina asked, and reached out to pat the calf's head.

The calf's coat is glossy and shiny, looking very healthy, and it feels quite soft and delicate to the touch.

"Moo~" The calf nuzzled Lina's hand with its head.

"Good boy, good boy, good boy." Lina patted the calf's head with a smile.

Karen joined in, stroking the calf's head along with Lina.

"There are still many more 'Hojii' (cattle) over there. Let's go take a look," Daigo said, pointing to the herd of cattle ahead.

"Okay, let's go!" Lina smiled brightly and pulled Karen along to follow Daigo.

Rena did not refute Daigo's comparison at all.

"Tsk tsk, poor Horii." Shen Yun chuckled and slowly followed.

When he arrived, he saw this scene.

The dairy farmer is teaching Daigo how to milk a cow.

Lina and Karen squatted to the side, watching this scene with curiosity.

He remembered that the dairy farmer's name was Yamamoto.

Yamamoto, I beg you...

Hiss, the memories of the dead suddenly started attacking me.

Shen Yun shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind, and quickly walked up behind Da Gu and the others.

"Watch closely, gently squeeze from top to bottom like this." Uncle Yamamoto demonstrated to Daigo, then gestured, "Come on, you guys try it too."

"From top to bottom..." Daigo poked the cow's milk-producing area with his hand, his face full of resistance.

"I want to try!" Karen said, raising her hand with great interest.

"Then Karen, you come here." Daigo quickly made way for her.

Karen took Daigo's place, then reached out her fair hand and grasped it.

"Sizzle—"

The white milk shot into the iron bucket below, and a milky smell filled their nostrils.

"This young lady is quite talented," Uncle Yamamoto said with a smile.

"This is very simple, not difficult at all. You just need to control your strength." Karen smiled.

"You're right." Uncle Yamamoto gave a thumbs up.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from afar, and the ground shook violently.

Suddenly, the ground not far from the ranch cracked open, and countless plumes of dust shot into the sky.

Daigo and Rena immediately stood up, their faces grave as they looked in the direction from which the commotion came.

Based on their past experience, anything that could cause such a commotion is very likely related to a monster.

"Th-th-what is that?!" Uncle Yamamoto exclaimed in astonishment as he stared at the giant beast that had emerged from the ground.

This monster resembles a mole, with sharp teeth and claws, a thick layer of black fur on its back, two red ears with five round holes on its head that look like knives, and bulging muscles on its limbs with sharp spikes.

It looks extremely fierce.

This was none other than King Morat!

After emerging from underground, King Morat let out a loud neigh and headed towards the pasture.

Shen Yun watched King Morat walking towards the ranch, feeling quite pleased.

Finally, my experimental materials have arrived!

"Oh no!" Lina's expression changed drastically.

"Everyone, run! Run!" Daigo reacted immediately and turned around to evacuate the citizens at the scene.

"Quick! Everyone run!" Lina also realized what was happening and quickly followed Daigo to evacuate the citizens.

"Karen, why don't you go and help evacuate the citizens?" Shen Yun said.

"Okay!" Karen nodded and immediately ran to Daigo and Rena's side to help them evacuate the crowd.

Fortunately, the tourists were very cooperative and were all evacuated in no time.

"You monster, how dare you come here! I won't let you get away with this!" Uncle Yamamoto said, trying to calm Bingo down while yelling at King Morat.

"Uncle, you should leave now!" Lina urged as she approached Uncle Yamamoto.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Bingo, Panda, they're like my children. How could I leave Bingo and the others here and run away?" Uncle Yamamoto shook his head, directly rejecting Lina's suggestion.

"I know, but it's too dangerous here! You should leave right away!" Lina continued to urge.

Daigo then took out his PDI (Power Directive) and contacted the command center to report:

"This is Daigo. A monster has appeared at the Metro Zoo!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Zongfang immediately stood up, went to the main screen, and asked, "Daigo, how is the situation?"

Daigo immediately looked at King Morat.

After emerging from underground, King Morat took only two steps outside before lying down on the ground, yawning widely, closing his eyes, and falling asleep.

Daigo looked at King Morat lying on the ground as if asleep and replied, "It's standing there, not moving at all, just like it's asleep."

"Asleep? What happened?" Zongfang asked, puzzled.

"Gurgle~"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the monster.

"Oh my god! What's that sound?"

"That's its stomach growling." Shen Yun looked at King Morat, came to Daigo's side, and explained, "This monster is probably out looking for food."
