Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

“We found those films interesting, so we got some to watch. But while the others were fine, there was no trace of you in Fengyuan’s experiences.”

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Minghui's eyes flickered, and he smiled:

"That's normal. Those are just movies and TV shows from parallel worlds. They can't possibly depict our experiences completely. Besides, the main character during that period was Feng Yuan. It's fine if I, as a supporting character, don't appear."

Hearing Minghui's words, Fengyuan, who was standing to the side, was displeased. He curled his lip and said:

"How can you say that? In my opinion, you put in more effort than I have. You should be the main character. You are indispensable, not some dispensable supporting role."

Feng Yuan had been rather taciturn since the beginning, and only spoke up now.

He was slightly concerned about the things he saw in another world; seeing them always gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if they were his own life.

If you think about it carefully, if Minghui hadn't appeared in his life, things would very likely have developed as depicted in the movie.

One by one, MAC's teammates died fighting the enemy, and his loved ones and friends at the club also perished at the hands of the monster. In the end, he embarked on a lonely journey alone...

This made Feng Yuan feel quite complicated when he faced Ming Hui again, and he couldn't help but think about what he had seen.

Minghui noticed that Fengyuan's mood was off. After a moment's thought, he understood what the latter was thinking. So he smiled, patted Fengyuan's shoulder, and said:

"In reality, there are no main characters or supporting characters; we are all just trying to make the world a better place."

Fengyuan looked up at Minghui, and the two stared at each other for a moment before smiling at each other.

They have known each other for decades and have weathered all sorts of crises over the years. Their relationship is so deep that they don't need to worry about anything else.

Dan Moroboshi, who was standing to the side, smiled as he looked at the two of them, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.

He remembered something someone had told him a long time ago: that Minghui was special.

Looking back now, that's certainly true.

"And then what? You couldn't have just done this much over there, could you?"

Minghui turned his head and continued to ask Moroboshi Dan.

Of course not.

Dan Moroboshi shook his head and said:

"After that, we encountered our counterparts from another dimension in that world, and also discovered a few interesting young people."

He chuckled softly at this point before continuing:

"Then, an accident happened. An evil creature appeared in that world, summoned monsters that shouldn't exist in that world, and ordered those monsters to wreak havoc in the city."

"In the end, you and Mebius took him down?"

Minghui guessed.

Faced with Minghui's question, Moroboshi Dan first shook his head, then nodded and said:

"That's about right. In that battle, we resonated with our alternate-dimensional counterparts, and therefore, we lent them our power."

Finally, together with Mebius and those young people, we killed the guy who tried to destroy that world.

And that's the end of our journey through a parallel universe.

"That sounds like a pretty interesting experience."

Minghui nodded slowly and said in a low voice.

Although there were slight differences, what Dan Moroboshi and the others experienced was pretty much the same as what Akira knew.

"After coming back from there, I sometimes think that maybe that world is the real one, and monsters and Ultraman are just things that exist in the fantasy world."

At this moment, Beidou Xingsi, who was also present, spoke up, saying with some emotion:

"To be honest, I wish this were true. There would be no more monster crises, no more space invaders, and we would no longer need to fight. We could just be ordinary Earthlings, experiencing normal birth, aging, sickness, and death."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly laughed again, his eyes shining as he said:

"Speaking of which, in that world, Yuuko and I had a lovely daughter!"

Listening to Hokuto Seiji's words, Hayata Shin nodded silently, agreeing with him.

Minghui raised an eyebrow and nodded to Beidou Xingsi with a rather serious expression.

Hey, you actually guessed right!

In the real world, you're not a bakery owner, but an actor!

At that moment, Minghui thought of something, and he turned his head to look at Xiang Xiushu, who had not spoken.

Although Hideki Go didn't speak, he had a smile on his face the whole time. He looked to the side, slightly lost in thought.

Minghui's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said:

"Xiang, what's making you so happy?"

Hearing this, Hideki Go snapped out of his reverie. He turned to look at the group of people staring at him, and sighed with a smile:

“I saw Akiko, Akiko who had lived for decades and was now old.”

He tilted his head back and murmured:

"That's wonderful. Akiko is still as gentle and considerate as she was many years ago, she hasn't changed at all."

And then there's Brother Sakata. Although he's gotten old, he's still as energetic as he was back then, and he's never given up on our racing career.

"Township......"

Hayata approached Hideki Go, put his hand on the latter's shoulder, and looked concerned.

"It's alright, brother. I'm just feeling a bit emotional. This matter has finally put my mind at ease."

Hideki Go shook his head, a broad smile on his face, looking radiant, and said:

"I am already satisfied to be able to see them again."

Minghui kept his eyes on Xiang Xiushu. He could sense that what the latter said was true, but he could also feel the deep sadness in his heart.

No matter what, she was just Sakata Akiko from a parallel world, not the person who had once deeply loved him.

What Hideki saw in the parallel world offered him some comfort, but it was not enough to fill the void in his heart.

Minghui sighed inwardly; he wanted to help Xiang Xiushu.

This is not impossible; it can be done just like Hiroto Kusaka.

However, the time is too far removed from the present, and this is the main universe. To achieve such a thing, he might have to pay a price.

Minghui didn't care about the cost, but whether or not it was necessary to do so required the consent of the parties involved.

Minghui's mind raced, then he cleared his throat and said:

"Township......"

But just as he finished speaking, a voice filled with anger suddenly rang out:

"Well, well, you bunch of bastards, I've finally seen you again!"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone present was taken aback.

The group looked at each other, all feeling that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Dan Moroboshi suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes fixed straight ahead, and muttered to himself:

"I don't know if it's because I miss my dear brother too much, but I actually hallucinated Taro's voice. Ah, or maybe I'm just too tired lately. No, I need to go back and rest quickly."

Before he could finish speaking, he had already started walking and hurried towards the back door of Minghui's house.

In a fleeting glance, he saw Minghui had already climbed out of the window.

Moroboshi Dan's eyebrows twitched.

Ah, what a disloyal brat!

"None of you are getting away today! Aaaaah, bear the wrath of these past twenty years!"

Higashi Kotaro's angry roar rang out again, and the next moment, a figure darted in and pounced on the people inside the room.

............

That evening, the members of the sports club gathered together again after a long time.

Kotaro Higashi also worked at the club for a considerable period of time, and after many years, it was only natural for him to return and visit the club.

Moreover, this time the group was exceptionally complete, with Dan Moroboshi and others also present, accompanied by their families.

On the rooftop of the club, a large table was set up, where people were raising their glasses and exchanging toasts.

During the meal, Caroline patted Higashi Kotaro's shoulder forcefully, looking reproachful, and said:

"You heartless bastard, you haven't come back to see us in so long!"

Look at Minghui and Fengyuan, they came back so early, unlike you!

Kotaro Higashi didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze and glared fiercely at a few people on the table.

The people he was watching looked away and began to look at whatever was nearby.

"Humph!"

Kotaro Higashi gave a light snort, turned to look at Caroline, and patted his chest, saying:

"Don't worry, now that I'm back, I'm not leaving again!"

He had made up his mind that if his side lost this war with the Aliens Empera, he would perish with Earth, but if he won, he would settle down on Earth like a few heartless guys and never leave!

"This is great, it's been so long since we've had such a lively gathering."

Beside Minghui, Fengyuan glanced around and murmured a sigh.

To recapture that feeling from before, he deliberately transformed back into his youthful self today, his smile as radiant as ever.

The same applies to several women, including Yamaguchi Momoko; they have already transformed their life forms and can easily do this.

Glancing at the empty seat next to Minghui, Yamaguchi Momoko said with some regret:

"It's a pity that although everyone is here today, there's still one person missing."

Upon hearing this, Minghui shrugged and said:

"There was no other way, it was too last-minute, otherwise Niki definitely wouldn't have missed it."
