Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 439 Dating and Feeding: The Time Management Master

After buying the clothes, Shen Yun left the store with a package box and Tidom.

These luxury stores usually offer free home delivery; all he needs to do is leave an address.

As for what he was carrying, it was the priestess's outfit that Tidom had changed out of.

After all, it's a formal outfit to wear when communicating with Powermon, so it's a valuable item and needs to be kept with you at all times.

After leaving the specialty store, Tidom ran up to Shen Yun and kept looking at the various shops in the department store with curious eyes.

The wide variety of goods in the mall truly broadened the horizons of Tidom, an ancient man from a thousand years ago.

Shen Yun looked at Tidom, who was running ahead in modern clothes but still wearing a headdress and chest ornament, and couldn't help but ask, "Tidom, do you really have to wear these ornaments all the time?"

The headdress and chest ornament complement Tidhomme's priestess outfit perfectly.

However, this headdress and chest ornament don't actually match Tidom's modern outfit very well.

Upon hearing this, Tidom stopped and turned to Shen Yun, saying, "Of course. This gem and headdress are the inheritance of a priestess, and she cannot be separated from them for even a moment. Grandmother Zi passed them on to me, and I will pass them on to the next priestess."

"Oh? Items passed down from a shrine maiden?" Shen Yun's interest was piqued upon hearing this, and he asked with great interest, "Do these ornaments possess special power?"

"Special power? There's no such thing." Tidom shook his head, placing his hands on the gem on his chest, and said, "Actually, these ornaments are more symbolic; they're very sacred."

"I see..." Shen Yun nodded, then asked, "So how will the next priestess be chosen?"

"Well, I heard from Grandma Zi that..." Tidom clenched the hem of his clothes, his tone hesitant, and a blush crept onto his fair, jade-like cheeks.

Seeing Tidom's hesitant expression, Shen Yun immediately understood.

Got it, bloodline inheritance, right?

Yes, that's very Japanese.

A politician's child is a politician, and a fisherman's child is a fisherman.

"Oh dear, it's already this late without us realizing it. How about we go get lunch first?" Shen Yun casually brushed aside the matter and changed the subject.

"Great! I'd love to try some food from a thousand years in the future too!" Tidom said enthusiastically, his attention diverted.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun carefully considered the matter and decided to take Tidom to the nearby food street.

Well, although Tidom is over a thousand years old, her mental age is probably only fifteen or sixteen.

For girls of this age, who wouldn't love a food street?

As for upscale restaurants, we can wait until tonight.

After making the decision, Shen Yun took Tidom to the nearby food street.

Although it's past lunchtime, the food street is still quite crowded.

Tidom inhaled the aroma of various delicacies mingling in the air, and a look of excitement appeared on her pretty face.

The various signs erected on both sides of this street are so dazzling that it's impossible to take them all in.

"Shen Jun, what's this?" Tidom tugged at Shen Yun's sleeve, pointed to a shop, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun looked in the direction Tidom pointed and, seeing the golden-brown fried cakes on the counter, smiled and said, "Oh, these are croquettes. Wait a moment."

After Shen Yun finished speaking, he stepped forward, bought two croquettes, and then handed one to Tidom, saying:

"Here, be careful, it's hot."

Tidom took it and then took a small bite.

"Hmm!" Tidom's eyes lit up. "Oh, I see!"

The crispy crust paired with the tender and savory meat filling allows the savory meat juices to slowly spread across your taste buds with just one bite.

Super delicious!

A croquette isn't very big; for an adult, it's just a matter of a few bites.

After finishing his croquettes in small bites, Tidom looked towards the shop selling them, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"One croquette is enough; too many will get cloying and you won't be able to eat anything else," Shen Yun said with a smile, noticing Tidom's gaze.

"Alright," Tidom nodded regretfully.

We cannot sacrifice a whole forest for the sake of a single sapling.

"What is this...?"

Oden.

"What about this one?"

"fried chicken."

"This...this..."

Tidom was already too full to eat before he had even walked a third of the way along the food street that was over a hundred meters long.

Looking at the box where almost half of the takoyaki remained, Tidom picked up one with a toothpick and said, "Shen-kun, ah~".

"?"

Shen Yun was slightly taken aback. Had he been fed?

This is clearly something he should be doing, right?

This is truly a reversal of the natural order!

However, seeing Tidom's pretty face still bearing a slightly naive smile, Shen Yun smiled as well and ate the takoyaki that Tidom offered.

"How is it? How is it?" Tidom asked expectantly.

"Hmm, not bad," Shen Yun commented.

The outer layer is crispy, while the inside is soft and tender.

It feels like the filling is about to spill out when you take a bite.

Moreover, the octopus inside is quite large, and the ingredients are plentiful.

Dipping it in the salty-sweet, thick homemade sauce, the octopus's umami flavor spreads between your lips and teeth.

"How about another one?" Tidom picked up another piece and handed it over tentatively.

Seeing Tidhomme hand over the takoyaki again, Shen Yun immediately understood Tidhomme's intention.

"Can't eat anymore?" Shen Yun asked, somewhat amused.

"Hmm..." Tidom's gaze drifted slightly.

"Honestly, why don't you just tell me directly? Why beat around the bush?" Shen Yun raised his hand and lightly tapped Tidom's forehead before lowering his head to eat the takoyaki Tidom offered him, and then took the rest of the takoyaki from Tidom's hand.

"Hehe." Tidom rubbed his forehead, grinned, and hugged Shen Yun's arm, asking, "So, where should we go next?"

"Let's go to Korakuen." After finishing the last piece of takoyaki, Shen Yun casually tossed the box into the trash can and said.

Korakuen was the name of Tokyo Dome City before it was renamed, and it is the closest amusement park to Ginza.

The first tokusatsu superhero festival took place in this park.

Incidentally, the Hyakujuu Sentai also had a stage play at Korakuen.

It wasn't until 2003 that Korakuen was renamed Tokyo Dome Castle. (I didn't notice the name change earlier.)

Shen Yun hailed a taxi by the roadside and took Tidom straight to Korakuen in Bunkyo Ward.

Less than half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the Houleyuan Park.

Just then, a roller coaster carrying tourists sped past them, eliciting a series of screams.

"Wow!" Tidom exclaimed in amazement as he watched the roller coaster speeding past.

Then, Tidom pointed to the roller coaster track, turned to Shen Yun, and asked excitedly:

"Is this what we're going to play next?"

"Hmm." Shen Yun nodded and smiled, "This is just one of the attractions. But if Tidom wants to play, let's go on this roller coaster first."

It's not a holiday now, so the amusement park isn't too crowded, and there's no need to queue for the rides.

Shen Yun pulled open his sleeve and glanced at the time on his watch.

It's currently around 2 PM, and the park closes at 6 PM.

In other words, they can play here for at least three or four hours.

Three or four hours is enough time to experience almost all the attractions in the park.

There is plenty of time.

"Let's go." Shen Yun smiled slightly, led Tidom to the ticket office, bought tickets, and entered the back park.

Upon entering the park, Tidom excitedly pulled Shen Yun to the ticket gate for the roller coaster.

"Excuse me, miss, for your safety, please do not wear jewelry that is easy to fall off while riding the roller coaster. You can store your jewelry at the luggage storage area." The staff at the ticket gate noticed the headdress and chest ornament Tidom was wearing and quickly stepped forward to remind her gently.

"Huh?! How could this be..." Upon hearing this, Tidom's pretty face showed a hint of confusion.

"If you don't mind, I can keep it for you," Shen Yun said, noticing the conflicted look on Tidom's face.

"But... then we can't play together anymore, can we?" Tidom shook his head and refused.

She couldn't bring herself to leave her friend to watch the luggage and play by herself.

"I have a way," Shen Yun said with a light laugh.

"What method?"

"Come with me." Shen Yun led Tidom away from the group and to a secluded corner. He reached out and took off the headdress Tidom was wearing, storing it in his system space.

Seeing the headdress suddenly disappear, Tidom grabbed Shen Yun's hand in surprise, turning it over and over incessantly, saying, "Eh?! It's gone! Shen-kun, where did you hide it?"

"I've put it away. Consider it space technology." Shen Yun flicked his hand, and the silver headdress with a purple bead hanging from it fell into his hand again.

"Wow, that's amazing! Then I'll have to trouble you to keep it safe for me, Shen!" Tidom was impressed but still took off the brooch he was wearing on his shoulder and handed it to Shen Yun.

Shen Yun casually put the chest ornament and headdress in her hand into her system space and said, "Alright, the roller coaster is about to depart. If we don't check our tickets now, we'll miss it."

"Yes! Hurry up!" Upon hearing this, Tidom quickly pulled Shen Yun to the ticket gate and boarded the roller coaster.

Shortly after, the safety railings on the seats lowered, and the roller coaster slowly started moving...

The roller coaster slowly climbed to a high point, then plunged down the track, accompanied by screams.

Compared to the screaming girls, Tidom was incredibly excited.

"Go for it!"

After one round, Tidom not only felt no discomfort, but was also eager to try again.

Shen Yun didn't have much of a feeling about roller coasters.

He's flown fighter jets and mechs; a mere roller coaster is nothing to him.

"One ticket only allows you to ride five attractions for free. Let's ride the other attractions first, and then we can ride the roller coaster," Shen Yun quickly advised, seeing that Tidom still looked a little reluctant to leave.

"Okay," Tidom said enthusiastically, looking at the other attractions.

Next, Tidom took Shen Yun to ride the pirate ship, haunted house, drop tower, spinning chairs and other exciting rides.

After playing for nearly two hours, Tidom sat down on a bench by the roadside in the amusement park to rest, feeling a little tired.

"This era is wonderful." Tidom leaned back in his chair, looking at the amusement park rides in the distance where cheerful laughter could be heard, and sighed.

Not only are there lots of delicious foods, but also many fun amusement rides.

Since she could remember, she had spent most of her time in Turtle Rock and Sky Island, and this was the first time she had ever been this happy.

"Speaking of which, is the shrine maiden from the Heian period?" Shen Yun walked over, handed the ice cream he had bought from the dessert shop next door to Tidom, and asked.

"That's right." Tidom thanked him and took the ice cream Shen Yun offered.

Shen Yun sat down next to Tidom and said with a smile, "Miss Shrine Maiden is really strong."

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Tidom asked, puzzled.

"Coming alone to a completely unfamiliar era, and handling such a major task as finding the Gaolangers to deal with Orgu. For an ordinary person, such an unfamiliar environment alone would be enough to make them feel apprehensive and uneasy," Shen Yun said.

As he spoke, Shen Yun began to understand something.

This might be why the previous priestess caused Tidom to fall into a deep sleep when he was a child.

Without a mature mind, one won't feel anxious or uneasy; instead, one will find it quite novel.

Is he a typical example of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger?

"Well, even if you say that, I don't really feel anything," Tidom laughed carelessly.

Seeing Tidom's charming smile, Shen Yun also smiled.

That's fine too. Being naive and innocent isn't a bad thing. Anyway, he'll protect that naivety and innocence.

"It's going to melt," Shen Yun said, pointing to the slightly softened ice cream in Tidom's hand.

It's June now, and we're already halfway into the sweltering heat.

"Tea white!" Tidom exclaimed, quickly scooping it up with a spoon and savoring it.

"Oh my!" Tidom's eyes narrowed slightly, his fair and jade-like face full of enjoyment.

Seeing Tidom's blissful expression, Shen Yun's lips curled slightly.

Great, the plan is progressing smoothly.

It's just like coaxing a child; you can handle it easily.

After Tidom finished eating his ice cream and regained his strength, he dragged Shen Yun to play some less exciting entertainment activities.

Soon, it was 5:30 pm, and the sky was getting dark.

It was almost closing time at the amusement park, so Shen Yun took Tidom and headed straight for a nearby movie theater.

He has already made a reservation at a Western restaurant for 8 o'clock.

Two and a half hours is just enough time to watch a movie.

He's a master of time management.

After being stuck for two whole days, I've finally gotten the plot flowing smoothly, and I should be able to keep updating from now on.
