Unlike creatures of past eras, humans possess light, which gives Gaia hope and is why it gives power to Lingye.
This time, Gaia is no longer fighting alone.
After returning home, Ling, who was exhausted from the day, threw herself on the bed in the bedroom, determined not to get up until dinner. But after only half a minute, she insisted on getting up.
Because she thought of the Ultra Medal.
He opened the drawer and took out the special medal. Sure enough, the information on it had changed.
【Jack Medal
Energy reserve: 0/172 (recovery of 0.002 per second, temporarily blocked)
Sealed, unlocking degree: 78/100 (78%)]
The degree of unblocking increased. It was 55 before, and now it is 78. It was indeed because of the destruction of the super beast. This super beast gave her 23 points of unblocking value, and there are 22 points left. According to the previous value, it will be completely unblocked if one more super beast is destroyed.
Why does it feel like playing a game?
No, destroying the Ultra Beast is not a game, and you can't have this mentality. However, Ling couldn't help but be curious. After it is completely unlocked, what is the role of this so-called "Ultra Medal"?
Holding the medal in her hand, Ling fell back and lay back on the bed.
Four days have passed since the battle with the Ultra Beast Gamas, and Tomoyo has moved.
Because of the attack by the super beast, her villa was completely destroyed and no one could live in it without a few months of repair. Fortunately, in this attack by the super beast, apart from Yuanzi's multiple abrasions and a slight concussion, there were no other casualties, which was a blessing in disguise.
In the early morning at Youzhi Elementary School, the school gate was filled with students arriving at school.
"Good morning, Reiya!"
"Ah, Tomoyo, good morning!"
Because of moving, Tomoyo took a few days off, and today was the first time the two met since then.
In the battle four days ago, Lingye transformed in front of Chiyo because of the emergency. If Chiyo is not a fool, he will most likely know Lingye's identity.
Tomoyo is certainly not stupid, on the contrary she is smart and cute, and her grades are always among the best in the class.
Chise was the same as usual today, wearing a sailor uniform and carrying a small school bag, and she looked normal. Ling, who had something to hide, secretly looked at her several times, but found nothing unusual.
It’s as if nothing happened, this is the biggest anomaly.
The two walked into the classroom in silence. Tomoyo and Lingya arrived at school quite early. There were still 20 minutes before class started, and there were not many students in the classroom. Looking at Tomoyo who was taking out a textbook from her schoolbag, Lingya couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, I said Chi... Chise."
"what's wrong?"
"Well... I mean, aren't you bringing your camera to school?" Because she didn't know what to say, Ling just picked up a topic.
"Because the super beast will jump out of the photo, it's too scary, I will never take a photo again!" Zhishi said with lingering fear.
I just don't know how long she can maintain this determination.
This was good news for Lingye, as no one would point a camera at her and snap away. But before she could be happy for long, she saw Chiyo rummaging through her schoolbag and took out a camera.
"So now I use this, the latest model of camera, which my mother bought for me. As expected, Lingye's heroic appearance is better captured with a camera!"
"Heroic and dashing?"
"Of course it's when Reiya was fighting the Ultra Beasts."
Ling also froze, her face bitter, but she still held on to hope.
"What kind of battle is that..."
"Ah, I saw it a long time ago, but I didn't expect Ling to be the same... mmm"
Tomoyo was halfway through her words when Lingye covered her mouth. There were already more and more students, and there were several students chatting not far away. I wonder if they heard what Tomoyo was saying.
Chiyo, whose mouth was covered, did not struggle. Instead, there was a smile in her eyes. After a moment, she signaled Lingye to put down her hand.
"Is this Lingye's secret that no one else can know?"
Ling also nodded, then shook her head, "Yes, if anyone knew, I would have to leave the Earth."
This is of course a lie. Unlike the warriors of the Kingdom of Light, Gaia's power comes from the Earth itself. If her identity is exposed, she will indeed be in trouble, but if she leaves the Earth, Gaia will have nowhere to go.
Although it was a lie, Tomoyo was obviously fooled.
"I understand. I will never tell anyone else." Zhishi made this promise seriously, and then she smiled again, "That's great. This is a secret between the two of us."
Having a friend who is a 'messenger of justice' makes Chise excited and secretly proud.
"and many more!"
"what happened?"
"Clothes, clothes! That's how it's played on TV. The messenger of justice must have his own special costumes! Isn't that what Ninja Sentai and Magical Girls do?"
But, Ultraman doesn't have those after transformation. Ling couldn't help but think of Gaia wearing a sailor suit or a lolita dress like the magical girls on TV, and then appearing in front of the monster. No, no, it's too weird.
"Ah, I suddenly have a lot of inspiration! I must make a set of clothes that suits Lingye best."
"what?"
"Come to my house tonight!" Zhishi said without allowing any refusal.
"But if you go home too late, Grandpa Jianye won't be able to prepare dinner."
"Then live at my house!" Chiyo said quickly, obviously having planned this long ago. "Measure your shoulders, waist, and all the other dimensions. I can't wait to make clothes for Ling. It's settled!"
Not allowing any rebuttal, at this moment Chise's aura was fully revealed, like a queen with the power of heaven.
Ling couldn't say anything except "OK".
Tomoyo's new home is also in Tokyo, but compared to her previous life when she could just walk to school, the new home is a little farther from Tomoeda Elementary School, so she needs to take a car.
By the way, the super beast that appeared in the photo before was actually a few hundred meters next to the school. If Gaia was not careful at that time, she might really create a feat with the same effect as "carrying a pack of explosives and going to blow up the school". Well, if that were true, all the students in the school would thank her.
At night, in a remote house in Tokyo, a young man was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
Hearing the noise, her elder sister Rumiko turned on the light.
"What's wrong, Jiro?"
"I dreamed of my brother." Sakata Jiro was silent for a moment before he said softly.
Rumiko didn't say anything else, but walked to sit beside Jiro's bed. She was not Jiro's biological sister, but just a neighbor. Jiro originally had a brother named Sakata Ken and a sister named Sakata Akiko, but both were killed by aliens.
The one he depended on for life was his brother Xiang, but now Xiang has left, and he was taken in by his neighbor's sister Rumiko.
This is how the world is, as if the earth and the entire universe are at war, the difference between life and death is so vague, and anyone may be buried in the ground at some point.
After a while, Rumiko reached out and rubbed Jiro's hair, then said:
"Go-kun entrusted you to me, so I am your real sister, Jiro."
"Will Brother Xiang come back?"
Everyone said that Go Hideki was killed in the final battle between the MAT team and the Balt Starman and Zetton, and not even his body was left. But Jiro and Rumiko knew that Go just went home, back to his real hometown, the Kingdom of Light. He rescued Jiro and Rumiko from the Balt Starman and turned into Ultraman Jack in front of them.
Xiang is the hero who has saved humanity from danger countless times.
But no one believed it. The adults thought Jiro and Rumiko were talking nonsense. The MAT team even built a cenotaph for Hideki Go to mourn the sacrifice of a brave team member.
Through the glass, Jiro looked at the starry sky. My brother said that the brightest star in the sky was his hometown, M78. As long as you have a bright heart and never give up hope, you can see it even when the sun is shining brightly.
But Jiro couldn't find it after searching for it again and again. Jiro still tried hard to find it, he firmly believed that maybe as long as he saw the Ultra Star, Brother Xiang would come back!
"Hey, Jiro, do you remember the Ultra Five Oaths that Xiangjun told you when he left?"
"Of course I remember." Jiro nodded seriously. That was what he promised Xiang Hideki when he left Earth. It was the agreement between him and Xiang.
"First, don't go to school on an empty stomach; second, dry your quilt when the weather is good; third, pay attention to the vehicles when crossing the road; fourth, don't rely on others for support; fifth, don't play barefoot on the ground. I have done all of these, but, when will my country brother come back?"
Yes, when will Xiangjun come back? Rumiko knew that Xiangjun would probably never come back, but she couldn't tell Jiro, couldn't tell him how far away 300 million light years was.
M78 is too far away, so far that it cannot be seen even with an astronomical telescope. The star Xiangjun mentioned is actually in Jiro's heart. It is their memory, the friendship between an earth boy and an Ultraman.
So when Jiro really finds the star, he will grow up. At the same time, he will understand that his brother from the countryside will never come back.
Chapter 16 Medal Unlocking
Photon streamline!
With one blow, a bloated monster was shattered, and even the debris was annihilated by the high-temperature light. The light that penetrated the monster pierced the night sky and dissipated into the horizon.
Since defeating the Ultra Beast Gamas that could appear in the photo, the Yabo people have not sent any new Ultra Beasts in the past week. However, the Earth is still not at peace.
Perhaps it was the hatching of eggs left by monsters that had appeared frequently before, or perhaps it was the awakening of monsters from ancient times, but occasionally some monsters would appear. These creatures were born unable to coexist with humans, and once awakened, they would violently destroy everything around them.
This is the second monster Lingye has encountered in a week.
Now, facing ordinary monsters that have not been transformed into "super beasts" by the Yabo people, the TAC team is no longer powerless. Compared with the Kurt team, the weapons of the TAC team are much more advanced, and it is hard to imagine that this change has only taken six years. Some newly hatched monsters or dinosaurs awakened underground can sometimes be eliminated without Ace's help with human weapons.
Neither Ace nor Gaia would intervene in the face of such monsters. Humans have begun to try to protect their homes on their own, which is what the guardians of the Kingdom of Light are happy to see.
There were only two occasions when he suddenly appeared in the city center, and TAC would not have time to react, which would have caused heavy casualties. Ling, who was present, would immediately transform into Gaia and take action.
This time, too, a monster suddenly appeared on the streets of an ancient town in Chiba Prefecture. As soon as it appeared, it crushed several houses. It was unknown how many casualties it caused. Ling immediately transformed into Gaia and quickly subdued the monster.
Gaia looked down at the people coming out of the shelter now that the risk had been lifted, then opened his arms and flew into the sky.
Soon, a ball of light returned to the grove behind the villa.
"Miss, where did you go just now?" Jianye, who had been searching the whole house for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Miss was safe and sound. "A monster appeared at the port just now. It was so dangerous."
"I'm right here in the woods. Sorry to have worried you."
"Miss, remember to hide in the shelter when monsters appear!"
"Well, I'll remember that next time."
Ling also answered, but she felt sorry in her heart. She would not go to the shelter next time. The moment she received the Light of Gaia, she lost the right to seek refuge.
At this time, she returned to her room and opened the drawer. Although unlocking the 'Ultra Medal' was not Ling's goal, the unlocking points obtained by destroying the two monsters did unlock the medal.
