Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

The next day, early in the morning.

As dawn broke, a faint chill filled the fresh air.

Shen Yun stood at the entrance of Turtle Rock, looking at the residential area not far away.

"It's already this late, haven't they come back yet? Could something have happened to them?" Shen Yun asked with some concern.

Shen Yun glanced down at the time on his watch; it was almost seven in the morning.

When Shen Yun checked the time and looked up again, a huge robot and a huge red lion appeared abruptly in the residential area.

"Oh, you're back."

The hands of the clock have just reached seven in the morning.

"About twelve hours?"

Upon seeing the return of King Gao and Gao Lion, Shen Yun immediately turned and walked into Turtle Rock, preparing to wake Tidom.

In the cubicle, Tidom lay on the bed, turned over, her cherry lips slightly parted, and let out a soft moan. Her parched throat made her open her eyes groggily.

"Ugh... I'm so thirsty, water..."

As soon as she opened her eyes, the water glass that Shen Yun had placed on the bedside table the night before immediately came into view.

Tidom sat up, picked up the water glass from the bedside table, tilted his head back, and drank the water in one gulp.

The cool water soothed his parched throat, making Tidom feel much better.

"Phew~ I'm back to life." Tidom put down his water glass, stretched lazily, and his slender waist was faintly visible under his shirt.

"Oh, you're awake?" Shen Yun had just entered the cubicle when he saw Tidom, who was already awake, and raised his hand to greet him.

"Huh? Shen-kun?! Then where is this...?" Tidom was taken aback when he saw Shen Yun, then looked around at his surroundings and exclaimed in surprise, "Shen-kun's resting room? How did I end up sleeping here?"

"You forgot what happened last night?" Shen Yun asked in surprise.

I didn't drink that much, so how did I black out?

"Last night?" Tidom was taken aback, and memories of the night before and after he got drunk flooded back like a tidal wave.

Then, a blush quickly spread across Tidom's fair and delicate face, even tinging her earlobes with a shy blush.

Tidom hugged his knees, burying his face in them, wishing he could bury himself completely.

She was actually carried all the way back by Shen Jun; how embarrassing!

but……

That sense of security is something I really miss.

Thinking this, a faint smile unconsciously crept onto Tidom's lips.

"Let's see if you dare to drink so much alcohol again." Shen Yun came to the bedside and rubbed Tidom's head with a smile.

"Hmph, I like to drink it." Tidom snorted arrogantly, then looked up, swatted away Shen Yun's mischievous hand, and reached out to tidy up his hair, which Shen Yun had ruffled a bit. He pouted and complained, "Really. Doesn't Shen Jun know that hair is a girl's second life? You've messed up my hair."

"Who could resist Tidom's adorable reaction? I just couldn't help it." Shen Yun chuckled, looking at Tidom who was fixing his hair, and said, "Alright, enough joking. Red and the others are back, and it seems they've found a new Powermon."

"Huh? Red and the others are back? When did they come back?" Upon hearing this, Tidom became somewhat flustered.

"Just now, I came in to wake you up," Shen Yun said.

"That's good, let's hurry over there too." Upon hearing this, Tidom breathed a sigh of relief, quickly got up from Shen Yun's bed, and ran towards the outside of Turtle Rock.

Shen Yun followed behind Tidom and walked out of Turtle Rock with her.

Upon arriving outside Turtle Rock, the King of the Fangs, standing quietly in the residential area, immediately came into view.

"Wow, this is... I've never seen anything like it before, a new Gao King!" Tidom exclaimed, looking at Gao King standing in the residential area.

"Let's go over there too. They should have found the Mushroom of Light by now," Shen Yun said.

"Okay!" Tidom nodded and walked with Shen Yun toward the residential area.

……

At the same time.

Samezu Kai arrived at the shrine located under a willow tree. Its appearance had become dilapidated over the years, and the shrine was covered with many withered yellow leaves and vines, making it look even more dilapidated.

The other four quickly came to Samezu Kai's side. Seeing Samezu Kai lost in thought, Ushitatsu Sotaro couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Blue?"

At this moment, the other four people also noticed the dilapidated shrine under the willow tree.

"This is..." Samezu Kaiya recalled the shrine he had seen in the sacred forest.

The appearance of that shrine is almost identical to that of the shrine in front of us.

"Could it be..." Lion Walk also recalled.

"Is this a shrine in the sacred forest?" Sai Taiga asked.

"Everyone!" At that moment, Tidom's voice came from afar.

The five of them quickly turned around and saw Tidom standing on the wooden bridge, waving to them from afar.

"Ah, it's Tidom." Everyone quickly waved to Tidom.

Tidom and Shen Yun jogged across the wooden bridge to the group and asked, "Everyone, have you found the Mushroom of Light?"

"This..." Lion scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"Huh? Didn't you find it?"

"It's a long story," Washio Takeshi recounted their experiences in the sacred forest.

Shen Yun's gaze fell on Samezu Kai, who was standing in front of the shrine.

He remembered that Samezu Kai seemed to have fallen in love at first sight with a woman named Kiyo from the sacred forest.

However, Samezu Kai was sent back before he could even express his feelings.

It's too awful.

Samezumi looked at the shrine in front of her, pursed her lips slightly, took a step forward, reached out and pulled open the shrine, revealing a wooden box covered in dust.

When Samezu Kai saw the wooden box, he quickly took it out, brushed away the dust and withered leaves from its surface, and a line of delicate handwriting appeared.

"To Lord Samezu Tensho. Kiyo, Tensho 1st year."

"Miss Kiyo..." Samezu Kai looked at the writing on the wooden box, her feelings were very complicated.

Samezu Kai's actions also attracted the attention of others, who all gathered around him.

"Tensho 1st year? That's the Sengoku period, the time of Oda Nobunaga and his people, right?" Sai Taiga said, glancing at the inscription on the wooden box.

"So, we didn't accidentally enter another world, but rather traveled through time and space back to the past?" Washio asked.

"Those people were also from the past?" Ushida Sotaro turned back to look at the shrine under the willow tree and asked.

Samezu Kai placed the wooden box on the ground, opened it, and a floral cloth bag came into view.

Upon seeing the floral cloth bag in the wooden box, Samezu Kai's face lit up with joy. She quickly picked up the bag and said, "This is Miss Kiyo's..."

As he spoke, Samezu Kai quickly untied the rope on the bag, and a golden light radiated from the bag.

Everyone saw the golden light emanating from the cloth bag and exclaimed in surprise, then looked expectantly at the flowered cloth bag in Samezu Kai's hand.

Samezu Kai reached into the bag and took out a yellow mushroom that shimmered with light.

"Ah, this is the Mushroom of Light!" Tidom exclaimed in surprise when he saw the mushroom in Samezu Kai's hand.

"Huh? Really? That's great, there's hope for Barking Lion." Lion Walk became excited upon hearing this.

"What do you mean 'saved'? The Barking Lion wasn't in any real danger to begin with!" Tidom retorted, hands on his hips, watching the lion walk away.

"I was too excited," Lion said, scratching his head and chuckling foolishly.

"This is a gift from Miss Kiyo that transcends time and space. How romantic!" Taiga Sae said, her fingers clenched tightly, her face full of longing.

Samezu Kai clutched the floral cloth bag tightly in her hand, feeling very down.

"Since that unknown power can send you back to the past, there might still be remnants of that power in your bodies. If we can analyze that unknown power that sent you back to the past, we might be able to go back to the past again and bring the Miss Kiyo you like back to the present." Shen Yun came to Samezu Kai's side, reached out and patted Samezu Kai's shoulder, and smiled.

"Is this... possible?" Samezu Kai asked in astonishment.

"I can't say for sure, but it's always good to give it a try," Shen Yun said, offering a glimpse into the future.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Doctor," Samezu Kai said, bowing.

"No problem, no problem."

Shen Yun also wanted to try to see if he could create a time-traveling train like the Electric King in this world.

"Now that we've got the Mushroom of Light, let's hurry back and hold the ceremony," Tidom suggested with a smile.

"Oh!" the group responded, then chatted and laughed as they walked toward Turtle Rock.

……

Underground, within the evil matrix.

"Damn those Gaolangers, I'll make them..." Shuten clenched his fists, filled with fury.

"Now, Ababa is in trouble. Lord Shuten-dōji is in a bad mood again," Ababa muttered, looking at the angry Shuten-dōji.

"Let's get out of here before he gets angry at us," Jiaojiao said hastily.

"Yes." Abaiba nodded as well.

Then, Abaiba and horns tiptoed outside.

"Abba, Horn!" Shuten, who had his back to them, suddenly shouted.

Abaiba and Kakuka trembled and stood still, turning around cautiously to look at Shuten-dōji, stammering, "He-here."

Shuten turned around and raised his hand toward Ababa and Kakukaku.

"Lord Shuten-dōji, please forgive us!" Seeing Shuten-dōji raise his hand, Ababa and Kakuzu quickly covered their faces and begged for forgiveness.

"I will give you my eyes." Shuten handed an eye about the size of a palm, with a ring of small eyes around it, to Kakukaku and Abaiba.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao and Yabaiba lowered their hands that were blocking their way, and after exchanging a glance, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Using this, we can find out the strongest way for Orgu to grow. There can be no more hesitation," Shuten-dōji said.

Upon hearing this, Kakuka quickly stepped forward and took the eye from Shuten's hand.

"This time, we must finish off Gaolangza's life!"

"Yes, sir!" Jiaojiao and Abaiba bowed slightly and said in unison.

……

Tokyo, Minato Ward.

The Turtle Rock slowly landed inside the manor, and Tidom quickly ran out of the Turtle Rock and returned to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Tidom took a bath, then changed back into her white shrine maiden outfit, and then put on her headdress and breast ornament.

After making sure he was spotless, Tidom returned to Turtle Rock.

While Tidom was taking a shower and changing clothes, Shen Yun retrieved some testing equipment from the laboratory to test the bodies of the Gabarans.

He actually discovered some residual energy reactions on them.

Subsequently, Shen Yun also used a computer to analyze and compare these residual energies.

The others waited boredly in the Guiyan Hall, watching Shen Yun type on the keyboard.

At this moment, Tidom, having finished his bath and changed his clothes, returned to Turtle Rock, bringing with him a fragrant breeze.

Hmm, it smells like shower gel and shampoo.

Upon seeing Tidom return, everyone quickly stood up from the sofa and gathered around the stone table where the mushrooms of light were placed.

Looking at Tidom, who had changed into a shrine maiden's outfit, Washio Gaku couldn't help but say, "Is it really necessary to change clothes for just a ceremony?"

"Of course it's necessary. This is a sacred and solemn ceremony. Whether it's changing into a priestess's robes or keeping one's body clean, it's all out of respect for the powerful beasts and the wild gods." Upon hearing this, Tidom raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her hips, and solemnly preached.

"That's right. In my hometown, before worshipping the gods, we need to bathe, burn incense, and fast for three days to show respect and piety." Upon hearing this, Shen Yun stopped analyzing the spacetime energy and explained with a smile.

"Eh~ Is there such a saying?" Samezu Kai exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, bathing and burning incense were considered the highest level of etiquette in my hometown in ancient times."

"Oh, I see."

"Tidom, after the ritual is completed, if we give this mushroom of light to the Barking Lion, will the Barking Lion be healed?" The lion picked up the mushroom of light from the stone table, turned to Tidom, and asked.

"No, this isn't for the Barking Lion," Tidom shook his head.

"Huh? It's not for the Barking Lion to eat? What's it for?" the lion asked curiously.

"This mushroom of light is used to produce the Barking Egg; feeding it directly to the Barking Lion won't do any good," Tidom explained.

"The Egg of the Fang?" Lion Walk asked, looking puzzled.

"With the Barking Egg, both Barking Lion and Barking King can be restored to their original state," Tidom said.

"How can we make the Mushroom of Light produce Fang-Baring Eggs?" Sae Taiga asked.

"First, we must perform the ritual." Tidom took the Mushroom of Light from the lion's hand, then walked above the Sacred Spring, held the Mushroom of Light in both hands, pressed it against his smooth forehead, closed his eyes, and chanted, "Mushroom of Light, which has gathered the power of the Sacred Forest, with the Barking Soul you have accumulated over the years, let the Barking Egg appear in the world."

As soon as Tidom finished speaking, the cap of the mushroom of light she had placed in front of her suddenly lit up with a golden light.

Then, Tidom threw the Mushroom of Light into the Holy Spring, splashing a few drops of water.

The mushroom of light, which should have been able to float on the water, sank into the sacred spring in the blink of an eye.

As the mushroom of light sank to the bottom, Tidom smiled and looked at the crowd gathered before the sacred spring, announcing:

"The ceremony is over."

Having said that, Tidom descended from above the sacred spring.

"Huh? It's over already? It's over so quickly? We were so looking forward to it." Samezu Kai looked at Tidom walking down from above the Sacred Spring and quickly ran to Tidom's side, saying.

He thought it would be very complicated, but it ended with just one sentence.

"There's nothing we can do about it, the ceremony is just that simple," Tidom said helplessly.

"So what's next?"

"Wait. It takes some time for the mushroom to generate a Fang-Barking Egg," Tidom said.

"How long will it take?" Lion asked.

"Probably a few days," Tidom replied. (End of Chapter)
