Ultra: I am too old to inherit the light of the sky

Leaning against the window edge, Hiroto Ban smiled and looked at the rapidly retreating environment. He had already put on the bracelet he picked up before on his left hand.

"Are you here to congratulate me on returning to Earth?"

Hiroto Ban murmured.

But obviously, no one responded to his words.

Feeling the excitement in his heart, Ban Hiroto naturally knew how ridiculous his behavior was.

but……

He just couldn't help it!

Sitting aside, Tetsuro Saka held a cup of tea, looked at his son's expression, and laughed together with the deputy captain.

"Nakajima, how long has it been since you went back?"

Tetsuro Saka asked Vice Captain Nakajima who was opposite.

"Hmm... It's been about fifteen years, but it's not as good as Captain Ban. You haven't been back for more than twenty years."

Nakajima also smiled with his mouth in his mouth, thinking of his wife and daughter at home, and his smile was not concealed.

Hearing Nakajima's words, Tetsuro Saka was also a little emotional, with a bit more reminiscence in his eyes.

"Yes...it has been more than twenty years. At that time, Sakurako..."

Thinking of his deceased wife, Ban Tetsuro showed a bit of a bitter smile on his face, with pain in his eyes.

Nakajima felt a little guilty when he saw his captain's attitude. He stood up and was about to apologize when he was stopped by Tetsuro Saka.

"Five years have passed. Don't worry about it, Nakajima. If you want to blame, just blame the monsters that appeared on Mars at that time."

Ban Tetsuro shook his head slightly and turned to face his son.

After adjusting his mood, his face turned serious again.

This has become instinctive for him who has been taught by a strict father and a loving mother since he was a child.

Even if his wife dies, it will be the same.

"Hong Ren, have you decided on the first thing you will do when you arrive on Earth?"

Hiroto was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and gave a heavy hum.

"I decided that I would bury my mother's ashes first."

"is the……"

When Ban Tetsuro heard his son say this, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

Because he also knew that his wife’s idea before she died was to return to Earth. Maybe if Hiroto did this, Sakurako would feel happy, right?

His eyes were also a little dazed, and Tetsuro Saka said this to Hiroto.

"Then when you go back, shall I go with you?"

"Eh? Father, didn't you say you still want to report on your work?"

Hiroto Ban was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, with a bit of worry on his face, "Won't this affect you, father?"

"Influence?"

Unexpectedly, his son would be so considerate of others at such a time, and Tetsuro Saka burst into laughter.

He already knew his son's character and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, this kind of thing - Nakajima, can you help me?"

Unexpectedly, Nakajima, who was eating melon next to him, was suddenly noticed. He pointed at his nose in confusion, "Ah? Me? But..."

But looking at the two father and son, one of whom was a child who had never set foot on the earth, Nakajima felt helpless and shrugged.

"That's fine, but captain, let's agree first that when you come back, you will invite me to drink at Otter's Tavern!"

"Oh? Is that store still there?"

Ban Tetsuro became curious and looked at the other party.

"I don't know, but I have to go and have a look."

Nakajima shrugged, and the two immediately looked at each other and smiled.

"Hahaha, okay, then I will accompany you..."

“Didi di di di!”

"Warning! Warning! Unknown creature detected on radar!"

Before the two of them could finish speaking, the spacecraft's radar sounded an alarm at an inappropriate time.

The relaxed atmosphere in the spacecraft suddenly changed, and the three of them went directly to the command room.

Looking at the dense dots on the radar, just seeing them makes people's scalp numb, but it's okay now, they are only around the back, where the cargo hold is.

If you speed up, you can still escape in time.

As for what’s behind…

Hiroto Ban had already turned on the surveillance camera in the rear cabin before his father could command him. Seeing the ferocious-looking monsters, the three of them gasped in unison.

The size of each monster only ranges from three to seven or eight meters, but for humans, this size is already considered a giant.

Especially the spaceship they were sitting on, although it was only for cargo, it was not slow due to the improvement of technology. Even so, the monster chasing them behind them was still faster than them.

"what's going on?"

Nakajima was a little at a loss and looked at his captain.

Tetsuro Ban gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, instantly understanding the purpose of these monsters.

"It's the Specium Ore. Their target is the Specium Ore we transported to Earth!"

"What! ?"

Hearing this, Nakajima was stunned.

What a joke!

This is not the first time that they have transported Specium ore. Although they are not responsible for the transportation, this time it is only due to personnel changes, so the three of them are temporarily appointed as the crew of the cargo spacecraft.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be only the three of them on the fleet this time.

It is precisely because there has never been any problem that the Earth guys are so relieved.

But, how could this happen! ?

"There have been no monsters for nearly twenty-five years. How could this happen..."

Since Ultraman Eddie left the earth, the entire earth has never been invaded by monsters, but Nakajima also came from that era.

The moment he saw this monster, the memories of his youth came directly to his mind, and fear filled his heart.

Hiroto Ban heard the conversation between his father and the others and seemed to realize something.

In order to clarify his thoughts, he asked abruptly.

"Father, that means the other party's target is just the Specium Ore, right?"

"Correct."

Ban Tetsuro didn't understand why his son asked this question, but he answered directly.

"Then I understand."

Ban Hiroto showed a smile, but this smile made Ban Tetsuro feel uneasy, and he was about to catch his son and ask why.

But he didn't think about it, as a middle-aged man, how could he be faster than a young man like Hiroto Ban?

In the disbelief eyes of Nakajima and Ban Tetsuro, Ban Hiroto sprinted directly into the cargo hold section and closed the door tightly with a smile on his face.

"Hiroto! What are you doing!?"

Tetsuro Ban looked in disbelief and yelled. His son on the opposite side didn't respond, but he soon realized something and yelled into the headset.

"Hiroto! What do you want to do!!?"

"You come back first, let's discuss it first and then..."

Unexpectedly, Hongren, who had been very obedient since childhood, interrupted his father this time.

"Sorry, father, I have been working on the Arandas for a long time. I just saw that the electronic equipment has failed."

Ban Tetsuro's breath was stagnant. He had just seen this on the command platform. If he wanted to abandon the cargo hold, he had to go to the cargo hold manually to operate it.

But he was just one step slower, but Hong Ren beat him to it.

"Hiroto, listen to me! You still have a bright future. Don't you want to see the Earth? That is the hometown you have been thinking about since you were a child!"

"I know, Father."

There was a 'click', and Saka Tetsurou's face turned pale. He knew what the sound was.

"Hiroto, if you want to go, I will go too! I am your father, and I order you! Stop!"

An old man who was nearly sixty years old was like a crazy beast at this moment. Before he could continue to speak, the voice of Nakajima next to him came again in fear.

"It's a different space! There is a different space behind it!"

"What! ?"

After seeing the scene from the surveillance camera, Ban Tetsuro's face lost all color and he felt his brain was dizzy. He understood that at this moment, it was irreversible.

"Hongren, you..."

Unexpectedly, an extremely calm voice came from the headset.

"Father, the captain's responsibility is to bring the crew back safely."

"but you……"

"I'm sorry, father, it seems that I can no longer fulfill my agreement with you."

A bright smile appeared on Hongren's face. At this moment, the cargo compartment had been separated from the command module. He looked at the monsters coming towards him crazily outside, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

He understands his current situation and there is nothing hopeless about him.

Through the window, I looked at my hometown in the distance that I had never set foot on.

"Father, the earth is just a planet I have never set foot on. Mother has always lived in your heart, and I will always live in your heart."

He clutched the pocket watch his mother gave him on his chest.

"Earth... I really want to see it."

A blue light flashed on Hongren's left hand bracelet.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in front of Hong Ren, illuminating his face. Hong Ren was stunned, looking at the light, and murmured in a low voice.

"Mobius strip?"

"and many more?"

"Ultraman?"

At this time, an Ultraman with a face like a cat rushed out of the Möbius strip, and Hiroto's face showed a moment of surprise.

then.

The whole world turned into darkness.

The surprise on Hongren's face finally disappeared at this moment.

"...Still not caught up."

"Ultraman."

"so good."

There was no disappointment on Hongren's face, but a look of relief.
