Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

The next day.

Upon receiving Shiori's message, Ushida Sotaro skipped his usual morning exercise and rushed to keep the appointment.

"Shiori-chan!" Ushida Sotaro called out with a smile when he saw Shiori strolling in the park, looking very pretty.

Shiori turned around and saw Ushitatsu Sotaro who had come to keep their appointment, and a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Huh? Shiori-chan is wearing glasses now?" Ushida Sotaro ran up to Shiori and asked curiously after seeing the red-rimmed women's glasses she was wearing.

"Yeah, that's right. But it's so good to see you." Shiori's smile froze, she pushed up her red-rimmed glasses, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Kusatarou-kun, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Kujira Tatsuya tilted his head in confusion as he looked at Shiori.

"I want to close the flower shop," Shiori said.

"Eh?! Close the flower shop? Why? Inheriting your uncle's flower shop, isn't that your dream, Shiori?" Ushida Sotaro grabbed Shiori's shoulder anxiously upon hearing this.

"It hurts!" Shiori cried out, her brow furrowing slightly.

"Ah, sorry." Ushida Sotaro quickly withdrew his hand, looking at Shiori with a face full of apology, and said, "Shiori-chan wants to close the flower shop because it's facing a funding shortfall? If so, I have some money here. If Shiori-chan doesn't mind, you can take it first."

As Ushida Sotaro spoke, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a bank card, and was about to put it into Shiori's hand.

Seeing Ushida Sotaro's anxious look, a hint of mockery flashed in Shiori's eyes, but she shook her head coyly and refused, saying, "It's not that there's a funding gap, but that my father is sick."

"I see. Uncle is ill..." Ushida Sotaro nodded, his expression softening slightly, and asked, "Is Uncle's illness serious? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Dad's illness is a chronic one. But he can no longer cultivate new varieties of flowers, so he plans to close the flower shop." Shiori said, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Looking at the sadness in Shiori's eyes, Ushitatsu Sotaro opened his mouth, unsure how to comfort her.

He had worked at Shiori's flower shop for some time and knew what a blow it was to a flower shop if it didn't have new varieties of flowers.

For a flower shop, it is not only necessary to have a stable supply channel, but also to have outstanding products. If it does not have outstanding products to build its reputation and attract customers, the flower shop will eventually close down.

"I don't want this. My childhood dream has been to inherit the flower shop and be with the person I love most." As Shiori finished speaking, she turned to look at Ushitatsu Sotaro, her eyes filled with affection.

"With your favorite person?" Ushida Sotaro looked at Shiori, his throat became a little dry, and his heart beat faster.

Shiori looked at Ushitatsu Sotaro, smiled and nodded, saying, "Sotaro-kun, marry me."

Ushida Sotaro's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Shiori, stammering, "Married?"

He was completely stunned by Shiori's sudden marriage proposal, leaving him speechless and utterly at a loss for words.

Before Shiori could react, she turned her head slightly and rested it on Ushitatsu Sotaro's shoulder.

Ushida Sotaro swallowed hard, his body stiff and his heart pounding like a drum.

He looked down at Shiori, who was resting her head on his shoulder, and mustered up his courage to move closer to her so that she could rest more comfortably.

If Shen Yun were here, he would definitely sigh and say, "This is too innocent; she's already been seduced."

In the nearby green belt, Jiaojiao and Yabaiba hid behind, their eyes fixed on Niu Dasao Taro and "Shiori".

"As expected of Glasses Orgu, he took care of Gaohei in one go." Kaku said excitedly in a low voice.

"Yeah, all we have to do next is kidnap that woman and threaten Gaohei to steal the blueprints for the artificial Mighty Beast," Ababa chuckled.

"A great success! This is a feat that even the wolf demons can't match," Jiaojiao said again.

"Yoshi, we absolutely can't let this golden opportunity slip away," Abaiba said.

"Um!"

After a brief discussion, Jiaojiao and Abaiba made a decisive move.

Kakuzu raised his scepter, and a dark purple bolt of lightning struck the feet of Ushida Sotaro and Shiori.

"Bang!"

A dark purple bolt of lightning suddenly struck the ground, instantly sending up a shower of sparks.

"Ouch!" Shiori fell to the ground and cried out in pain.

"Shiori-chan!" Ushida Sotaro exclaimed in surprise and was about to rush to Shiori's side, but Ababa grabbed "Shiori" from the ground first and held the snake blade to "Shiori's" neck.

"Kusarou-kun!" Shiori looked at Ushida Sotaro with a face full of fear.

"Kakukaku, Abaiba! You're despicable!" Ushida Sotaro clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

"Hehehe, thank you for the compliment," Abaiba chuckled strangely.

"Kujiro-kun, how about we make a deal?" Kakuzu stepped forward and asked with a charming smile.

"trade?"

"That's right. As long as you help us steal the blueprints for the artificial Power Beast, we'll release your most important person. How about it?" Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"Impossible!" Ushida Sotaro resolutely refused.

"Is that so? Kusatarou-kun, don't you want to save the person you like?" Kakuka turned around and winked at 'Shiori' and Abba.

"My sword is very sharp, you know," Abba chuckled, bringing the serpent blade even closer to Shiori's neck.

"Sotaro-kun, don't worry about me." Shiori looked at Ushida Sotaro with worry and shook her head at him.

"Kusa-taro-kun, what will you choose?" Kakuzu asked with a smile.

"I...I..." Ushida Sotaro clenched his fists, his expression pained, unsure of what to do.

"Soutarou-kun..."

"Give me some time to think it over." After pondering for a long time, Ushida Sotaro slowly loosened his clenched fist and said in a deep voice.

Just because he can't think of a solution doesn't mean the PhD student can't.

"Three days. We'll give you a maximum of three days. We won't wait until then," Jiaojiao said sweetly, extending three fingers with sharp nails.

"I will give you an answer by this time tomorrow morning, in less than three days." Ushida Sotaro took a deep breath and looked at Kaku and Abaiba.

"It's a deal. We'll meet in this park again tomorrow morning," Jiaojiao agreed.

Ushida Sotaro glanced at Shiori with reluctance, then turned and left.

Watching Ushiwakatarou's departing figure, Ababa turned to Kakunoka and whispered, "Kakunoka, aren't you afraid he'll tell the other Gaorangers about this?"

"What are you afraid of? The hostage is in our hands now." Corner glanced at Shiori and said, "Besides, he doesn't know that this woman has been controlled by Glasses Oruk. So, whether he tells anyone else or not, as long as he gets the blueprints and the deal, we've succeeded."

"I see."

……

Back at the villa, Ushida Sotaro was pulled into the living room by Samezu Kai to discuss how to find the wolf demon that night.

However, because of Shiori's matter, he was somewhat absent-minded and looked preoccupied.

"Black? Black! Are you even listening?" Samezu Kai shook Ushida Sotaro's shoulder and asked.

Ushida Sotaro snapped out of his daze and, seeing everyone staring at him, quickly apologized, "Sorry!"

"Black, is something wrong? Why do you look so troubled?" Shen Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and asked.

"I..." Upon hearing this, Ushida Sotaro wanted to tell what had happened before, but he didn't know how to start.

After hesitating for a while, Ushida Sotaro told everyone what had happened before.

Finally, Ushida Sotaro steeled himself, knelt before Shen Yun in a dogeza (a traditional Chinese kowtow), and said, "Professor, I beg you!"

"Black, do you know what this means? If Wenluo gets the doctor's blueprints, he might create an evil artificial Weapon Beast to oppose us!" Somewhat impatient, Samezu Kai grabbed Ushida Sotaro's collar and questioned him.

"Can you still be considered a Gaollenza like this?"

"I'm very sorry," Ushida Sotaro said, turning his head away with a guilty expression.

"What does Wen Luo want the blueprints for the artificial Power Beast?" Shen Yun wondered, puzzled as to what Wen Luo was thinking. Did he really just want to create an evil artificial Power Beast?

Or does Winrow want to create another enemy aircraft?

But does this make sense?

Even if Wenro could create an enemy aircraft, its horsepower would at most be on par with the Evil Barking Hunter, and might even be weaker.

The Evil Barking Hunter, after all, possessed the blessing of a thousand years of evil energy, and the radish he created was made using many precious super alloys.

What does Wenluo have?

There's nothing there!

There's no ancient evil energy, nor super alloys; at most, there's just an abundance of evil energy.

Could it be that... Winro is planning to mass-produce the machine?

Well, it's not impossible.

Although these mass-produced machines will eventually only be considered slightly more powerful grunts, if Wenluo were to actually produce one, it would be quite a problem.

While they were pondering, Shishigaki and Washio quickly pulled Samezu Kai and Ushitatsu Sotaro apart, while Taiga Sae and Tidom did not say much, but just looked at Shen Yun with concern.

"Alright, Blue, stop being stubborn. It's already good that Black told us about this instead of secretly stealing the design drawings behind our backs." Shen Yun came back to his senses, patted Samezu Kai on the shoulder to comfort him, and then looked at Ushida Sotaro kneeling on the ground, saying, "There was once a saying: People become weak because of loving someone, but there's no need to be ashamed of it, because that's not true weakness. Only those who truly understand weakness can truly become strong."

"Get up. It's just a design drawing, nothing serious. Once the deal is done, it's done."

"Yes, even if it's traded, we can always take it back," Lion replied.

"Compared to the design drawings, Shiori's life is more important." Tidom nodded in agreement.

Although she valued the blueprints for the artificial beast, they were insignificant compared to a human life.

Moreover, as Red said, even if they hand over the blueprints, they can take them back.

"Yes," Sae Taiga chimed in.

"Thank you so much, everyone!" Ushida Sotaro was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, so he could only bow his head deeply and sincerely thank everyone.

"Since the transaction is tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." Shen Yun put the matter aside, then pulled up a map of Onizuka Mountain, pointed to a certain area, and said, "Our main task tonight is still to find the Wolf Demon. Based on the Wolf Demon's evil energy fluctuations, it is probably active in this area of ​​Onizuka Mountain."

"Because the moon is about to disappear, the wolf ghost's power has basically fallen to its lowest point. It's probably to the point where it's even difficult to move. He won't go too far. Everyone can split up and look for him. Maybe we can find him," Shen Yun added.

"yes!"

Soon, it was evening.

The group then rode on Kame-Iwa and arrived at Onizuka Mountain.

After leaving Turtle Rock, except for Tidom who remained inside, the group dispersed to search for traces of the wolf demons in the vicinity.

The wolf demon, because the moon was about to disappear, was lying weakly in a cave with a stone coffin. He was lying on a fur coat, and even his thoughts were affected, becoming muddled and confused.

As time passed, the waning moon disappeared into the sky, and the wolf-demon lying on the fur coat shone with silver light, transforming back into a human.

"What is this...?" Oogami Tsukima propped himself up, rubbed his head, looked up at his surroundings, and looked puzzled.

The next moment, his memories of being a wolf demon flooded back like a tide.

"Is it already a thousand years in the future? And there's a new generation of Gaorangers...?"

"Have I become Orgu's henchman?" Oogami Tsukima's face was full of bitterness.

He was once a warrior of the Fang, but now he has become a henchman of Orgu.

But it was his own choice, and there's nothing to regret.

I only hope that the new generation of Gaolangers can defeat him and free him completely.

Oogami Tsukima got up from the ground and staggered towards the cave entrance.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to see the world a thousand years in the future.

This also proves that his sacrifice to protect the world was worthwhile.

"Aww~"

Just then, a howl that sounded like a wolf or a dog came from the weeds outside the cave. Oogami Tsukima, who had come out of the cave, also followed the sound and found a lone wolf-dog in a clump of weeds.

"Are you all alone too?" Oogami Tsukimo bent down and lifted the little wolfhound out of the knee-high weeds, teasing it as he spoke to himself, a gentle expression softening his handsome face. (End of Chapter)
