Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 451 The Lazy Tidom Barks at the Yellow Whale Tail Peak, Forced to Buy and Sell

"Ugh~ It's so cold!" As soon as he stepped out of the warm kotatsu, the cold air in the villa made Tidom shiver and he quickly retreated back into the kotatsu.

The warm temperature inside the kotatsu dispelled the chill from her body, and a lazy, contented look appeared on Tidom's pretty face. She looked up at Shen Yun, who had already gotten up from the kotatsu, and said lazily, "Shen-kun, could you please go to my room and bring me my clothes?"

"Ah~ the magic of the kotatsu is really amazing."

"..." Shen Yun looked at Tidom, who was wrapped up in the kotatsu with only his head showing, looking lazy and slouching, and found it somewhat amusing.

However, he didn't say anything. Isn't this exactly what he wanted?

It would be a real headache for him if Tidom could easily shake off the temptations and focus on fulfilling her mission as the Barbed Witch.

This means that his subtle influence over the past six months has had no effect whatsoever.

"Okay, still wearing a skirt?" Shen Yun asked.

"Yeah, pantyhose and stuff are too much trouble to put on," Tidom nodded lazily.

"..." Shen Yun smiled, turned around and went upstairs to Tidom's room.

Tidhomme's room was very clean. Although it was largely the same as it had been six months ago, it had developed its own personal style.

Shen Yun walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and saw that it was full of clothes.

Clothing is available for all seasons, from summer to winter, with a wide variety of styles.

Shen Yun glanced at the clothes and picked out a white, collared knit dress that reached her ankles. Then she took a light pink coat and a light gray scarf from the coat rack where trench coats were hanging.

Winters in Tokyo aren't actually that cold. Compared to the pervasive damp cold of the water towns in the south, Tokyo's climate is relatively warm.

The clothes he chose were warm enough.

Shen Yun took the clothes, went downstairs, tossed them to Tidom, who was wrapped in a kotatsu, and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay~" Tidom took the clothes, shrank into the kotatsu, and changed his clothes quietly inside the kotatsu.

Stepping out of the villa, a chilly sea breeze immediately hits you, making you feel a bit cold.

Shen Yun didn't have to wait long before Tidom, who had changed his clothes, followed him out.

Seeing Tidom's outfit also caught Shen Yun's eye. The light pink wool coat paired with a white turtleneck knit dress had a strong girlish feel. With a light gray scarf and white flat ankle boots, she looked both pure and gentle.

"It's so cold~" Tidom stood beside Shen Yun, put his hands to his mouth, and gently breathed on them.

"Are you cold? Do you want to put on some more clothes?" Shen Yun asked with concern.

"No need, these clothes are warm, it's just that my hands are a little cold." Tidom shook his head, then placed the back of his slightly cool hand on Shen Yun's cheek. The icy touch made Shen Yun frown slightly.

"Wait for me." Shen Yun turned around and walked into the villa.

When Shen Yun came out, he was also holding a pair of light yellow wool gloves with a bow on the back.

Shen Yun handed the gloves to Tidom and said, "Here, put them on."

"Ah, it's not that bad..." Tidom waved his hand.

"obedient."

"Hmm, Shen Jun is really tough." Tidom pouted, took the gloves Shen Yun handed him, and put them on.

"Alright!" After putting on the gloves, Tidom also placed his hands in front of Shen Yun and showed them off.

"Let's go. Let's find that awakened wizard." Shen Yun smiled and walked towards Turtle Rock with Tidom.

"Um!"

"Oh right, how do we find an awakened wizard?" Shen Yun suddenly asked.

"The Sacred Spring can sense the presence of wizards, and that's how I found Shen Jun," Tidom said.

"I see, that's really amazing."

As they talked, the two walked into Turtle Rock.

Upon entering Turtle Rock, Tidom immediately went to the sacred spring, knelt down, interlaced his fingers, and made a prayer gesture.

Shen Yun stood aside, watching Tidom pray, without disturbing him.

As Tidom prayed, the two stones inside the spiral rock above the sacred spring began to glow faintly.

A faint light appeared on the clear surface of the sacred spring, and a scene slowly emerged.

Tidom opened his eyes, looked down at the reflection in the water, and exclaimed in surprise, "What is this...?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately moved closer and looked at the image reflected in the sacred spring.

This is a place with running tracks everywhere, where a young man in a green uniform is training with a group of people wearing the same uniform.

"This is the Japan Air Self-Defense Force." Shen Yun recognized Washio Takeshi at a glance, who was mixed in with the crowd.

"Air Self-Defense Force? What's that?" Tidhom asked curiously.

"You could say he's in the military," Shen Yun explained, then immediately changed the subject, asking, "Is he the person we're looking for this time?"

"Yes, the Sacred Spring's senses are never wrong. His location is... in the Shinjuku area of ​​Tokyo," Tidom said. (The setting doesn't seem to specify where Washio Gaku trains, but according to episode 9 of the TV series, it's set at the Ichigaya base in Shinjuku.)

"Shinjuku Ward, it's not far from here, let's go there now," Shen Yun said.

"Yes!" Tidom nodded vigorously, quickly stood up, and left Kame-Iwa with Shen Yun, heading towards Shinjuku.

Shinjuku Ward and Minato Ward are adjacent wards, and it doesn't take too long to get there by car.

……

Shinjuku Ward, outside Ichigaya Base.

"Is this the place?" Tidom asked, gazing at the training base in the distance.

"Yes, he's wearing an Air Self-Defense Force flight suit, so he's most likely an Air Self-Defense Force pilot candidate. And Shinjuku only has this one military base, so he must be inside," Shen Yun explained.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in quickly." Tidom said as he walked towards the training base.

"Hey, don't rush. This is a military base; ordinary people can't get in," Shen Yun said, pulling on Tidom's wrist.

"What should we do then?" Tidom frowned upon hearing this.

"I've already investigated. The Air Self-Defense Force doesn't provide food and lodging. Those trainee pilots usually eat at the restaurants outside during their lunch break. We just need to wait for them to come out," Shen Yun said.

That's right. Japan's Self-Defense Forces do not provide food and lodging; if you are serving, you need to bring your own rations.

If you live at the base, you will need to pay your own rent. The only advantage is that you can eat in the canteen for free.

Of course, you can find your own place to live if you don't live at the base. If you want to eat in the canteen if you don't live at the base, you will need to pay for the meals.

Moreover, if you want to eat in the cafeteria, you need to submit a report a month in advance, and even if you pay the fee, you will still be penalized if you don't eat there.

Similarly, it is not allowed to go to the cafeteria for a meal without prior notice.

Some officers in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force have been disciplined repeatedly for eating.

The reason for the punishment was that he took two extra small breads.

That's too funny.

However, this is understandable.

After all, the US resident in Japan is the real father of our lives; no one should be poor, but our own father should be poor too.

Therefore, Self-Defense Force members who usually live outside the canteen do not eat in the canteen, but eat out instead.

Of course, the main problem is that the food in the Self-Defense Forces' mess hall is too meager, not only low in quality but also in small portions.

This is definitely not enough for a normal adult's appetite.

As for why Shen Yun knew that Washio Gaku wasn't eating in the base's canteen...

The network in this base is like a sieve; finding someone's information is incredibly easy.

"I see." Tidom nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's wait a bit."

"It's still early, let's go sit in that dessert shop for a while." Shen Yun glanced down at his watch. There was still some time before the Air Self-Defense Force's lunch break, so he pointed to the dessert shop that had a good view of the Ichigaya base entrance and suggested.

"Okay! I want mango pudding and fruit cake," Tidom said.

"Eating so much? Will you be able to eat lunch later?" Shen Yun asked in surprise.

"It's okay, the dessert will be in another stomach."

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the dessert shop called 'dreamliners'.

The dessert shop was air-conditioned, making it much warmer than the outside.

After entering the dessert shop, Shen Yun led Tidom to a booth with a view of the Air Self-Defense Force base entrance.

After ordering a mango pudding and a fruit cake, Tidom looked at Shen Yun, who was gazing out the window, and asked with a smile, "Shen Yun, is there anything you'd like to eat? It's on me this time."

As he spoke, Tidom took off the scarf around his neck and placed it aside because of the rising temperature inside.

"You're treating?" Shen Yun was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Sure, then let's have a cup of hot milk and a dorayaki."

On January 1st, the Japanese New Year, when he accompanied Tidom to a nearby shrine for a New Year's visit, he gave Tidom a New Year's gift of 1 yen, as a way of following local customs and wishing him good luck.

Although Thidom is now spending his own money, he has a strange feeling of getting something in return for his efforts.

Soon, the desserts and drinks that Shen Yun and Tidom ordered were served.

Shen Yun picked up her cup, sipping the warm milk while watching Tidom enjoy his dessert with a satisfied smile.

After whiling away more than an hour in this dessert shop, we finally got to wait for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's lunch break.

"It's about time, we should head over there," Shen Yun said.

"Hmm!" Tidom nodded, took out a ten-thousand-yuan bill from his coat pocket, and paid the money.

After receiving the change, Tidom picked up the scarf that was placed aside, wrapped it around his neck again, and then followed Shen Yun, quickly walking out of the dessert shop and towards the entrance of the airbase.

On the way to the airbase, Tidom asked curiously, "Shen Jun, how do you plan to persuade him?"

"Persuade him? That's too much trouble. Just knock him out, take him away, and then dump him on Sky Island," Shen Yun said.

"Hey~ Isn't that a bit too rough?"

"Or, I could bring Washio Gaku over here and let you, Tidom, persuade him?" Shen Yun said with a smile.

"Okay! Just watch how I convince him," Tidom agreed confidently.

Shen Yun suppressed a laugh and arrived at the entrance of the airbase with Tidom.

Just then, a group of young people dressed in pilot uniforms walked out of the airbase, the timing was perfect.

Shen Yun glanced at the group and immediately spotted Washio Takeshi, who was chatting and laughing with other fellow pilot candidates.

However, at this time, Washio Gaku still had black hair and had not dyed it yellow.

"Wait for me." Shen Yun stepped forward and stopped Washio Gaku, saying, "Washio Gaku, right?"

"Who are you?" Washio Gaku looked at Shen Yun, who was blocking his way, with suspicion and asked, "Do we know each other?"

"I have something I want to ask you. May I speak to you in private?" Shen Yun said.

"A-Yue, we're leaving now." Several candidates who had a fairly good relationship with Washio Gaku called out to him.

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll be right there," Washio Gaku called out, then turned to Shen Yun and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Come with me." Shen Yun grabbed Washio Gaku's shoulder and forcibly led him to a deserted place.

"Hey! What exactly do you want?!" Washio Gaku shook off Shen Yun's hand and questioned him angrily.

"Tidom, it's your turn to play." Shen Yun waved to Tidom.

"You're here~" Tidom jogged over, looked at Washio Takeshi, and bowed slightly, saying, "Nice to meet you. My name is Tidom, and I am a priestess who conveys the will of Power Beasts."

"Power Beast? What?!" Washio Takeru asked, puzzled.

"The Mighty Beasts are a sacred force protecting this planet. You are a warrior who will fight alongside them—the Gaoranger." Tidom looked at Washio Takeru and said earnestly, "Earth is in crisis, and we need your help!"

"Huh?" Washio Gaku looked at Tidom with a strange expression and said, "Are you a chuunibyou? You called me here just to talk about this? Is this some kind of prank by a TV station? I didn't see any cameras?"

As he spoke, Washio Gaku looked around again, trying to find the hidden camera.

"Everything I'm saying is true, please believe me!" Tidom said anxiously.

"I'm telling the truth~ Please believe me~" Washio Gaku mimicked Tidom's tone in a cheeky manner, then chuckled and said, "Please, only a fool would believe that." (See TV episode 4, mimicking Samezu Kai's speech)

"Ugh! I'm furious!" Tidom glared at Washio Takeshi, puffed out his cheeks, and then turned to look at Shen Yun.

Shen Yun Xiaoxiong spread his hands, then shrugged, revealing an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Hmph, I don't care anymore!" Tidom snorted and turned his head away.

"Hey!" Shen Yun stepped forward and patted Washio Takeshi on the shoulder.

"What?" Washio Gaku turned his head and looked at Shen Yun with a puzzled expression.

"Bang!"

Shen Yun punched Washio Gaku in the abdomen, and Washio Gaku passed out without even uttering a sound.

"Done, let's go!" Shen Yun carried the unconscious Washio Yue on his back and led Tidom to the car parked nearby. After putting Washio Yue in the back seat, Shen Yun opened the car door and got in.

"Hmph, serves him right!" Tidom fumed as he sat in the passenger seat, looking at the unconscious Washio Takeshi.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. He's never seen Orug or Powermon, so it's normal that he doesn't believe you. Once he sees Powermon, he'll naturally believe you." Shen Yun said as he started the car and headed straight for the port area.

"Shen Jun clearly believed it," Tidom said, pouting.

"Because I already know something about Orgu and Powermon, that's why I believe what you say," Shen Yun said with a smile.

……

Soon, Shen Yun drove back to his villa in the port area.

After stopping the car, Shen Yun pushed open the car door, got out, and then pulled open the back door, dragging the still unconscious Washio Yue out of the back seat.

Then, Shen Yun picked him up and carried him into Turtle Rock, and then teleported to Sky Island through Turtle Rock.

Seeing the powerful beasts roaming around Sky Island, Shen Yun simply left Washio on the grass of Sky Island and then returned to Turtle Rock with the help of Barbo Lion.

"Finally done. The kid will wake up soon." After returning to Turtle Rock, Shen Yun immediately went to Tidom's side and looked at the image reflected in the Sacred Spring, saying.

"Hopefully, he can gain the approval of Powermon," Tidom said worriedly, gazing at the image reflected in the Sacred Spring.

"It definitely will," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"I hope so," Tidom said worriedly.

While waiting for Washio Gaku to wake up, Shen Yun didn't sit idle. He directly hacked into the Ichigaya base's network and submitted Washio Gaku's resignation application.

Unlike the pilots in TV dramas who have a history of desertion, resigning normally wouldn't affect his future.

Once Oruk is completely wiped out, even if Washio Gaku rejoins the military, his promotion speed will be faster than that of pilots with a desertion record.

Moreover, this can be considered acting first and informing later.

To prevent Washio Takeshi from being unwilling to become a Gao Renja and constantly wanting to return to the Self-Defense Forces.

Anyway, if he wants to be a Garou, he'll eventually have to resign anyway, so it doesn't matter.
