Sakura smiled brightly, a smile she had never seen before, and she looked so happy. But this time, Tomoyo didn't pick up the camera.
I suddenly felt a little envious.
"Yeah, that's true. It would be great if everyone could smile like this and there would be no more sadness in the world." Lingye said.
In this way, her fight would have meaning.
Even if you can't get it, seeing others happy will make you happy. You will also feel comforted if you help others realize the wishes that you can't achieve.
Because happiness is contagious.
"Reiya...yeah, that's true." Tomoyo smiled sincerely.
It is indeed light, which can dispel even the smallest darkness.
Chapter 177 Hippolytus
There are still five days until Christmas, and the streets are already filled with a strong atmosphere of loss and curse.
It turns out that the closure of Jiangnan Leather City is not unique to China. The boss who ran away with his sister-in-law also crossed the ocean and appeared in Tokyo.
"I'm losing money, I'm losing money, the wholesale price of the Nagoya Jade Shop."
"Swear to death, curse to death, the boss ran away with the money. The boss's things are not bad, I will sell them for money, I will sell them for money."
It hadn't snowed yet, but the temperature had already dropped to freezing point. I couldn't show my hands when I walked on the road, they were all hidden in thick gloves. It was also inconvenient for Chise to hold the camera.
This was a good thing for Lingye and Sakura. The temperature was very cold, but because they had walked a little, the three of them didn't feel cold. As they talked, white mist was rising and puffing out smoke. This was a game that could only be played at this time of the year.
They were at the gym in Central Park at this time.
"They say the venue has been remodeled, so let's see if there are any objections, but where is Miss Dazhong?"
After all, this was the battlefield of the final battle with the Yabo people. After that, Gaia, Ace and the TAC team chased into the other dimension and ended the endless war.
However, at this moment, the bustling park did not have the atmosphere of a battlefield at all. Even if there was, it was a different kind of "battlefield".
"No wonder Miss Dazhong asked us to wear hats and cover our faces when we came here."
A week later, there was a concert and a fan meeting for the TV series. At this time, Central Park had been transformed into a theme park for Cardcaptor. There were photos of them everywhere, as well as various "peripherals" for sale in temporary stalls and shops.
As Christmas approaches, the atmosphere is already full of festivities. Students and office workers have already lost interest in studying or working, and are immersed in the once-a-year atmosphere. Therefore, even though the event is not until next week, the transformed park is already very lively.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, Reiya, here, here!"
In front of the venue, Miss Dazhong was waving at the three people.
"Miss Dazhong, you've already arrived. We thought..."
"What else did you think? Oh, you didn't think I was drinking in the middle of the day?"
No, that's not what you said, you said it yourself.
"Come to think of it, it's a relief that Miss Dazhong was able to recognize us."
The three of them followed Miss Dazhong's reminder and wore hats to cover themselves tightly.
"Well, if you don't pay attention you won't notice it. But I knew you would come at this time."
As long as you know about it in advance and look for it deliberately, the three little ones are still very conspicuous.
However, a crowd gradually gathered around at this time, because Miss Ooshige did not lower the volume of her voice when she called out "Sakura, Tomoyo, Reiya" just now.
This place was originally converted into a Cardcaptor theme park, and most of the visitors are fans of the TV series. They are of course very sensitive to these three names, except for the last one 'Reiya' who they have never heard of (called Freya in the story).
"Oh, really, it's Sakura, Tomoyo, and Freya!"
“It’s actually a real person!”
It didn't matter anymore, because there were security guards separating the crowds, and the gymnasium was not open to the public. But even though they were separated, the crowds' enthusiasm grew, and people from far away rushed over after hearing the news.
"How is it? Do you feel like a star?" Miss Dazhong asked the three people.
"Probably a little."
This feeling is indeed somewhat strange. Although I know that the ratings of the TV series are not low, it is still separated by a screen. Occasionally, people recognize them on the street, but it is the first time for the three of them to experience the atmosphere of such a large group of fans. It really feels like being a star.
"Ms. Dazhong, do we need an autograph?"
Many people in the crowd were already shouting for autographs.
"Are you ready for autographs?"
"Prepare?"
"It's just the cursive handwriting of celebrities. You can't write their names like in elementary school textbooks, right?"
The three of them felt ashamed when they said "you can't always". They had occasionally received autographs from fans before, and it seemed that they were all written stroke by stroke, just like the names in their homework books.
It seems that they really have no experience in how to be a "star".
"You can practice signing. It's best to find a teacher to design it. You still have a week. It doesn't have to be the same strokes as the Chinese characters. You can also add an expression or a stick figure. For example, for the character 樱, you can draw a cherry blossom. This is cuter."
What Dazhong shared were her experiences as an idol. Even though she was a failed idol who made no achievements in two years after her debut and had to switch careers to become an agent, these experiences were all true.
"As for now, although the official fan meeting is next week, there will also be a signing session scheduled then. However, if you want, it's okay to interact with fans beforehand. But before that, look up!"
"look up?"
The three of them looked up in confusion, and then saw it.
People always ignore small things because they are too insignificant. But sometimes they also ignore big things, perhaps because they themselves are too small.
On top of the gymnasium, occupying the entire top floor of the building, there is a huge poster that is dozens of meters wide. Sakura, Tomoyo and Reiya, the poster shows the three girls dressed in princess dresses.
"how do you feel?"
I am speechless. It was a photo shoot they took at the beach, and they encountered the Polaris. Although I knew that the person in the photo was me, I had a strange feeling that it was someone else who had nothing to do with me.
"I always feel that that's not us." Lingya murmured, making Tomoyo and Sakura nod their heads when they heard it.
Perhaps it was because it was too beautiful that it created a gap in reality. I always felt that it was a fairy tale that should not appear in reality.
"If you say that, Takasu Production will be sad. Thanks to him for planning it for so long."
"Ah, that's not what I meant. It's because it's so beautiful, so..."
"I know, I know. It feels like the characters in the picture only belong to the story and are disconnected from my real self."
"Yes, that's it."
What Miss Daishige said was exactly what the three of them felt. Those were Sakura, Tomoyo, and Freya, not the real them. They had the same faces, but they felt so far away.
"In fact, that is how fans see idols. So sometimes when fans look at you, they are not actually looking at you, but the fairy tale they have woven in their minds. To make that fairy tale better is the job of idols."
"That's a nice thing to say, Ms. Ooshige, but why couldn't you continue on this path?" With a teasing voice, Takasu Production walked out of the venue.
"That's because no one sees me as a fairy tale." Miss Daishige said with a sad face, "Mr. Takasu has a bad heart and said such things on purpose."
Others say that celebrities are out of fashion, but what about her? She has never even tasted the taste of being popular. How infuriating.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
"Strange, is it going to rain?"
"Wait, what is that?"
"Monster? No way, there is no such thing..."
Seeing everyone outside the stadium looking up at the sky, Daishige curiously walked out the door. But Lingye was faster than her.
Then Ling saw it too.
A monster, indeed, but it was too exaggerated! It was so huge that it was impossible to see the sky and the sun.
Ultraman is a giant of light, 40 to 50 meters tall, equivalent to a building more than 10 stories high. But the monster that appeared in the distance was completely beyond imagination.
The TAC team also received the alarm at this time.
"The super beast that appeared in Tokyo this time is different from the enemies we have encountered in the past. Reports from frontline observations show that it is more than 200 meters tall."
"More than two hundred meters?! But Ace is only more than forty meters." Yoshimura exclaimed.
Beidou and Nan Xizi looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Yes, it's as tall as five Aces. So in this battle, I won't allow anyone to do anything irrational on their own. Cherish your life, obey my orders, and don't rush forward on your own."
Although height doesn’t mean anything, just thinking about a monster that is four times taller than Ultraman Ace does make people feel stressed.
The TAC team members drove the Eagle, Universe 1 and Universe 2 to the scene.
"That's it!" Because the other party was too tall, the target could be seen from a distance. "Look at that guy, it really is like a skyscraper, almost catching up with Tokyo Tower!"
The other side obviously also saw the TAC team's plane.
[I am the messenger of hell, the Hippolytus. Earthlings, listen to me, hand over Ultraman Ace and promise to refuse Gaia's protection, otherwise, I will bring real hell to this planet.]
That is the language of Earth, and both the TAC team and the residents of Tokyo can understand it.
"Damn it, what nonsense is that guy talking about!"
"Hand over Ace and abandon Gaia? Doesn't it know what happened to the Yabo people?"
"Another hateful invader. Before Ace and Gaia show up, let them taste the power of our TAC team first! Captain?" Yamanaka spoke to Captain Long and asked for the attack order.
"Well, be careful. You are allowed to fire now, but please be safe."
"understand!"
Yamanaka and Yoshimura drove Universe No. 1 and fired at the monster first. Since it was a test attack, they used machine guns.
Unexpectedly, the machine gun bullet penetrated directly into the monster's body. But before Shanzhong could be happy, he found that although the bullet passed through the monster's body, the monster was not hurt at all.
"What's going on? Is this monster an illusion?"
But if the monster was an illusion, then everything around it was indeed destroyed by the monster.
It was a strange monster, red in color, with a pointed nose and tentacles on its head that could launch different attacks.
The high-intensity airflow ejected from the nose created a hurricane, blowing the surrounding buildings to pieces and causing a natural disaster.
The tentacles can spray high-temperature flames, and the exact temperature is difficult to measure. From the iron sheet factory building under its feet that was swept by the flames, it was not burned, but the steel was directly vaporized, which can be judged that the temperature is definitely above the boiling point of the metal.
"That bastard, I don't believe it is immortal!" Shanzhong pulled the joystick suddenly.
The Cosmos climbed rapidly, and the acceleration pressed Yamanaka and Yoshimura firmly into their seats, but this was nothing to them. It was not until the plane reached an altitude of more than 3,000 meters that it turned its nose and rushed straight down.
"Wait, Yamanaka, don't be impulsive!"
