So after Ace recovers, the group will go back. Although it is not a good idea to think this way, Kiriyama hopes that Ace can maintain this state for a little longer. However, he quickly put this excessive idea out of his mind.

"At least get together with everyone. Is this time okay? I think... we all want to give you a farewell party, a farewell party that is four years late."

"No matter what, whether we are from Earth or space, we have worked together for more than a year to protect the Earth. Even if it is just a ceremony, the final farewell should not be so hasty."

Recalling his companions in his memory, Tuan gradually began to smile.

"I understand, Captain."

"Ah, I'm still used to hearing 'Captain'."

Lieutenant Colonel, fleet commander, was promoted, but he always missed his time in the Ultra Guard.

The Oshima residence, which was bustling yesterday, is much emptier today.

It's just psychological.

"Go and Moroboshi-nii have gone to meet their old friends, aren't you going with us, Hayata-nii?"

Hayata shook his head.

He is different.

Although he also has colleagues and friends who worked with him back then, Hayata Shin has always been there. Although he has forgotten some memories, he is still with his comrades. So now he is just an outsider.

"That's perfect, let's attend the banquet tonight together."

"The party? Didn't it just take place yesterday?"

They were treated to a real feast yesterday, the likes of which they had never tasted before, and there was also expensive wine.

"That's different. Today's is the real banquet."

"why?"

"Because today is the winter solstice, the winter solstice is as important as the New Year."

"Winter Solstice is as important as New Year? Where does this saying come from?"

Hayata had never heard of taking grapefruit baths and eating pumpkins on the winter solstice. These were all he knew, and other than that he had never heard of any other important solar terms.

Ling didn't answer. The winter solstice is as important as the New Year. Needless to say, it's like this every year.

Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Solstice are the days when the family must reunite. So if it is cold and lonely, you will start to think about some unhappy things.

Winter wine is essential. It is called wine, but because the alcohol content is too low, it is more like an osmanthus drink, and even children can drink a few sips. Then there are mutton cake, sugar lotus root and fried fish. Hot dishes are not important. You can stir-fry shrimp, make Ruyi vegetables, sauce recipes, three pieces or pickled pork soup.

Because they are too local, some dishes are not even cooked by the family's "wandering chef" Chef Caibo, or even heard of them. In this era, there is no "kitchen" to search for recipes. Ling can only eat, but not cook.

I had to give up on it, but surprisingly, the boss of the late night restaurant knew how to make it. He was not reluctant to teach Chef Caibo. It was not a complicated recipe, but just a home-cooked dish made by ordinary people. For Chef Caibo, he didn't even need to see it with his own eyes, just listening to the method was enough.

A large round table was specially arranged for the dinner.

Mino, Maria, Hachiken, Ueki, and Hayata, everyone sat at the table.

"Chef Caibo, please sit down too."

"I'm a chef. How can I eat at the same table with a chef?"

"That's what the winter solstice is like. On the night of the winter solstice, the chefs have to serve as well."

Cai Bo had never heard of such a custom, but Lingye spoke of it in a very serious manner, so he could only be skeptical.

"Chef, please sit down." Maria deliberately made room for a seat.

Seeing Maria said so, Caibo had no choice but to sit down.

On the shortest day of the year, the sky quickly darkens. Fill a glass with winter wine.

The sweet wine brewed with osmanthus is full of rich floral fragrance.

This wine was not brewed in advance. Ling Ye went to another country thousands of kilometers away and bought a bottle with her hometown dialect that she hadn't spoken for more than a year and foreign exchange. This was the first time she used Gaia's power to do such a thing, but Gaia didn't blame her.

In fact, Gaia never blamed her, no matter what choice she made.

Osmanthus is the flower of eternal life.

Respect to the dead who have passed away, respect to the living who are still alive, and respect to those who will be born in the future.

The world may not be good enough today, but there is no need to complain. We can rely on ourselves to make tomorrow better.

"cheers!"

"Haha, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that you're finally back!" Gu Qiao patted Zhu Xing Tuan's back hard. He was a famous strongman in the guard team, and Tuan almost coughed out his lungs.

"Guqiao, be gentle. You've poured the wine into your trachea." Tuan coughed several times.

"Hey, you're still pretending. You're obviously Ultraman, are you afraid of my strength?"

Hey, if you have the guts, let me wear the Ultra glasses and compete with me again. I'm not exaggerating, even with your two hands and two feet, you can knock a strongman like you off with your belly.

Having said that, Gu Qiao still stopped.

He was too excited. He hadn't seen his best friend for four years, and the group left with such injuries.

Suojia said that Tuan left with the intention of dying, just like an elephant would leave the herd before dying, not wanting to make them sad. At that time, Guqiao refuted him fiercely, saying that Tuan would definitely appear in front of them again in high spirits.

But four years have passed and there has been no news from the group. These former friends can only remember the teammate who was always enthusiastic and seemed fearless no matter what enemy he faced.

When Gu Qiao suddenly heard the news that Captain Kiriyama was going to hold a farewell party, he thought the captain was joking, but Tuan really came back.

Even though he will be leaving again soon, seeing the group recovering and full of energy is more reassuring than anything else.

"Tuan, why don't you talk to Zoffy and ask him not to rush so much? Three million light years is so far away, he can find a planet to rest. It's okay to let Ace wait a few more days, right?"

It was really too much to say such a thing, but considering that she was the only female on the team, no one would blame her.

"What? Wasn't what I said wrong?" Seeing everyone looking at her, An Nu felt a little guilty. She was happiest to see Tuan again. "Besides, Ace has been protecting the Earth for a year. He fights so hard every day. Let him rest in the bronze statue for a few days."

It turns out that you were thinking about Ace. He would be very touched when he knew it.

They were in the Defense Forces' restaurant at the time, but suddenly the alarm sounded.

"Why, another monster?"

Tuan was the first to stand up, put down his glass, and ran to the door of the restaurant.

"Tuan, are you going to fight again?"

On the streets of Tokyo, Hideki Go ran out of Yumiko's house and ran onto the main street.

"The monster is coming, Jiro, take Yumiko and go to shelter."

"Brother Xiang, what about you?" Jiro asked, realizing that he had said something nonsense, "Brother Xiang, will you come back?"

Xiang did not answer. He did not have an answer to this question. As an Ultraman of the Space Guard, he had too many missions to fulfill.

"I understand, but as long as I look at the Ultra Star, Brother Xiang will be there, right?" Jiro pointed to the brightest star in the sky.

"Jiro, can you see the Ultra Star?" Xiang looked up, and the place that Jiro pointed to was indeed the location of the Ultra Star.

"Yes, I can see it. Now I can see the Ultra Star. Brother Xiang said that as long as we see the Ultra Star, Brother Xiang will come back. Now Brother Xiang has fulfilled his promise and returned."

Xiang was a little surprised, but more relieved. He squatted down and looked at Jiro.

"Only the bravest people, the children who never give up in the face of difficulties, can see the Ultra Star. Jiro, you are already a great man."

"Then let's make another agreement. In the future, when you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome no matter what, pray to the Ultra Star and I will hear your voice."

"Really? Can the village brother hear me?"

"Yes." Although they were three million light years apart, a distance that even light, the fastest speed in the universe, would take three million years to reach, it didn't matter. The bond between him and Jiro could not be broken by time or space.

The person who appeared in Tokyo was Hippolytus, and the TAC team immediately began to evacuate the surrounding residents.

"Listen, now that Ace is gone, it's up to us to protect the Earth." Captain Long looked around at his teammates, "The enemy is strong, but we also have reasons not to lose."

"understood."

They already knew how powerful the enemy was, and now that Ace was gone, the TAC members were ready to die.

But soon—

"Ah, it's Seven! Captain, look, Seven is here!"

"That's Jack over there! Jack's here too!"

Two Ultra Warriors appeared in an instant, and soon after, the First Generation and Gaia also appeared on the battlefield.

"Captain," Yamanaka raised the gun in his hand, then put it down again, "Do you still need us to fight?"

Thanks to the tragic atmosphere just now, it turns out that the Ultra Brothers are all here.

The one who should be ready to die is the monster, right?

Chapter 185: Destruction

Whether the Hippolytus have the spirit to face death with indifference is another matter.

At least it doesn't want to commit suicide now. Similarly, it knows very well that the Ultra Brothers are currently on Earth.

The reason why he dared to show up was obviously that he had other plans.

First generation, Seven, Jack, Gaia

Hippolyte was indeed a little flustered as he watched the figures appear one after another with the light.

Among them, the one he feared the most was actually Gaia. Perhaps in terms of combat experience, Gaia was not as good as those Ultra Brothers who had galloped across the galaxy and crossed countless battlefields, but what really made Hippolyte feel difficult was that his trump card was ineffective against Gaia.

That is its real trump card, and it even dares to challenge the Space Guard because it is confident that even if their captain, Ultra Father, is trapped in the Hippolyte Capsule, he will not be able to escape.

Even now, it still couldn't understand how Gaia escaped from the Hippolyte Capsule. This had never happened before. Who was she? The King of Ultra?

Because of the unknown, there is fear.

The Ultra Brothers surrounded Hippolyte, but they did not take action immediately because they were a little hesitant. This was Tokyo, and the monster appeared too suddenly, and the surrounding residents had not yet completed their evacuation.

If we act without authorization, this place will likely be turned into a sea of ​​fire, causing heavy casualties.

This is also the reason why Lingye unlocked the Medal of Nexus, forming his own domain to minimize casualties.

"Let me do it."

Gaia said, this is where Meta's domain comes into play. She communicated with the Nexus Medal. The golden light gathered in her hand and was about to be released.

"Wait, Gaia, I'm not your enemy."

"what?"
