In terms of naval combat capabilities, Agul is not in the same dimension as them.
What is your body?
Aguru never spoke a word, but during those battles, Taro realized that Aguru used his dominant-level underwater combat power to ask him this question.
Ultraman's body is made of steel and iron, and their bodies are made up of skin that is harder than steel and extremely strong muscles.
But is this really the case?
No, Ultraman's body is light! The flesh will be restrained by the sea and must resist the resistance of the sea, becoming slower and weaker, but light will not!
Ultraman is the warrior of light.
【Forget your body, you are the light, the sea will not stop you, it is just your heart that resists the sea. Accept it, don't see it as resistance. It is part of your body, your hands and feet, and your weapon.】
Aguru taught Taro this through his own actions.
Then he put one hand behind his back and stopped attacking the monster. He looked back at Taro and walked into the depths of the sea until he disappeared.
Taro was a little stunned. He hadn't come back to his senses yet. Teacher Aguru, Master, Grandmaster! Why are you gone?
Ling was also somewhat stunned. Of course it was she who used the medal to summon Agul. It was also because she was the one who caused Agul to disappear that he did not have much time left to live after using the lightsaber.
But she didn't let Agul do that. It was all done by the medal itself.
I always feel like, you deserve a beating?
The flashing energy light on his chest brought Taro back to his senses. Time was running out.
He was sure that he could not learn such advanced skills as making the sea become a part of his body or even as a weapon.
This is why he was unable to defeat Aguru in the water battle, and there was probably no hope of him ever being able to win, as they were not on the same level at all.
However, after transforming his body into light and not being restricted by the resistance of the sea, Kotaro gained some insights.
It wasn't the sea that was resisting him, it was he who was resisting the sea. Was that so?
It seems like it is.
As he accepted the sea with his heart, Taro felt that he was moving faster. This was not an illusion. The water flowed beside him, no longer blocking his way.
I have fought with Aguru so many times before, but I have never gained any insights. It turns out that actual combat is the best way to grow.
There is still a lot of dissolved acid in the seawater, but it doesn't matter. Acidic liquid can threaten the flesh, but it cannot threaten pure light!
Light burst out and lingered around Taro's body. His hands took the shape of knife hands and turned red.
The same movements as Aguru, the same up and down movement of the knife.
Aguru had a lightsaber, and Taro's hand blade was equally sharp. The demon Gilliam's head fell off his shoulders, and his entire body turned into foam in the depths of the sea.
As if it had never appeared, the demon born in the human heart disappeared into the material world.
Won.
Taro withdrew his hand and looked deeply at his palm. It was simpler than he had imagined.
It turns out that the sea is not so annoying after all.
The sea is certainly not offensive, the deep ocean is where life on Earth was born. It is the original cradle of life.
Ling also looked at the Agul Medal in his hand. The blue warrior who gave him the light of the ocean time and time again, he was also a part of Gaia.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Although it wasn't hard, it felt more like he was showing off.
Ling also took out another medal and looked at it.
Noah, the unlocking degree is still less than one percent... No, it's here!
Ling was also surprised to see the 1.01% unlocking rate.
How could that be? It was Taro who defeated the monster this time. She just provided a little help with the medal.
Ling also recalled her previous guess that the so-called unlocking degree of her medal was not to gain some kind of energy by killing monsters, but to gain positive emotions such as gratitude and trust.
So did anyone thank her or trust her this time?
Could it be Taro? He was the only one who witnessed the battle.
He was grateful to Aguru, so that emotion was passed on to her medal?
Ling also realized that this was probably true. So after all, he should be trained more by the three warriors. Anyway, Taro seems to be a little stronger, so he won't let him off next time.
Taro disappears into the sea, and Higashi Kotaro appears on the shore.
"Kotaro, are you okay?"
More than ten minutes later, Vice Captain Aragaki rushed over. He had contacted the ZAT headquarters before, but when he came back, he saw with his own eyes that the monster had overturned the yacht driven by Kotaro, which frightened him.
"It's okay. I'm a good swimmer."
This is the truth. Araki recalled their first meeting. The ZAT team evacuated the people at the dock, but Kotaro appeared there. He actually swam over from the other side of the sea.
At this time, Kotaro was soaked all over, as if he had just swam in from the sea.
"Ah, is this the time to say something like that? That's a monster. How dare you run headfirst into it?"
“But I don’t think I will lose.”
At that time, Kotaro really thought that the monster was just a fear in his heart. As long as he was not afraid, a mere speedboat could smash it.
The sound of birds singing came to my ears, and the night was almost over.
"The sun is almost up."
"You don't want to wait for the sunrise here?"
"No, I'm tired of watching the sunrise over the sea." Kotaro said. During the two years he worked as a sailor on the ship, he could see the sunrise almost every day. "Go back to bed quickly. I'm exhausted."
Everyone was tired. The dark night finally passed.
The next day, on Saori's birthday, Kotaro did not give out the 'lucky stone'. Even though the demons had been destroyed and there were no more monsters chasing the stone, it still left a psychological shadow on people.
The amulet he sent was one that he personally requested from a regular shrine to bless people with peace.
Saori likes it very much because it was given to her by Kotaro.
Then he stuffed the lucky stone into the offering box of Yuefeng Shrine as a tribute. It is more appropriate to offer this kind of thing to the gods, so just treat it as psychological comfort.
Applause, Namaste, Bless!
Chapter 355: Watching TV in Gensokyo
Christmas was approaching and 1973 was coming to an end, which was also Maria's birthday.
Beat eggs and stir to make batter.
As Maria's birthday gift, Ling also wanted to make a birthday cake herself.
Initially she wanted to make Baumkuchen because it was really delicious and was the German "king of cakes".
However, the store manager Mizuhara told her that Baumkuchen required specific equipment, which was not available in either her store or the one in Shinomiya.
It’s a bit of a pity. Although she has never made it, Ling also feels that she can make it well, and it may even taste better than the ones bought in the store.
Following Mizuhara's suggestion, she could only make a cheesecake instead.
But it turns out that Ling Ye overestimated her cooking skills.
"It tastes bad. It's dry."
"It's already very good." Mizuhara said.
But she felt a little reluctant when she said this. If she were in school, she would be expelled for such a work.
"How about I do it?" Mizuhara said that watching from the side was more tiring than doing it himself.
"No, I'll do it myself."
Ling didn't believe it anymore, look at her 'Hand of the Sun'!
But wait, the Hand of the Sun seems to be used to knead bread? Bread and cake are probably not the same thing.
In the winter of 1973, the company's mobile phone sales were fully rolled out without restrictions. Those who wanted to buy a mobile phone no longer had to queue up overnight to grab the limited number of places.
What follows is supporting services.
In cooperation with the Daidoji Group, signal base stations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. After being laid out in Tokyo, they have been extended to Chiba, Saitama, and Yamanashi. At the same time, calls and network signals are guaranteed. Perhaps soon, Kuze and Reimu, who are far away in Izumo, will be able to enjoy the convenience of mobile phones.
The mobile phone itself doesn’t make much money. After taking into account the initial investment, it can only be considered as breaking even. But the real money-maker is not the mobile phone, that is just the platform.
The investment is huge, but once an industry is monopolized, the future profits will be even more huge.
Ling also does not intend to really monopolize the telecommunications industry. If this industry, which is the basis of people's livelihood, is really monopolized, it is likely to cause trouble.
Maybe it's not her trouble, but someone else's trouble, which she doesn't like either.
At the appropriate time, when mobile phones and the Internet have truly entered thousands of households and become necessities, the government can intervene and the Oshima family can gradually let go.
But it can be predicted that Oshima and Daidoji families will not suffer any loss, and their current investment will be returned dozens of times.
What Ling didn't know was that Reimu, who was far away in Izumo, had already got the phone.
Not in the real Izumo Shrine, but in the Gensokyo of the other world.
The phone was originally in the hands of a blue fairy. Reimu saw it, so it is now in Reimu's hands.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me now!" The little fairy kept struggling. "Cirno is the leader of the fairies and the strongest monster in Gensokyo! Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
Reimu glanced at this guy named Cirno who claimed to be the strongest. He was so weak. He was a fool. Completed.
She didn't know what the strength standard of general monsters was, but compared with the most familiar Yakumo Yukari, who often came to visit her, she could suppress this ice crystal monster with one hand without any gap.
Of course, Reimu herself is also like this.
The reason why Cirno only threatened verbally but did not take action was because she had already experienced it.
"What is this?"
"Humph, you don't even know about a cell phone, you're really an idiot." Cirno looked up to the sky with pride, she cherished the opportunity to call others idiots.
Then came Reimu's Iron Fist of Punishment.
Hold your head, squat, and whine
It turns out that only a beating can make them talk properly.
