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

"Maya, you know what."

"Many times people just look up at the stars and feel the shock to their souls caused by the beauty of the vast universe."

"But they never knew the land beneath their feet."

He seemed to be talking to Maya, but he seemed to be talking to himself.

Maya just looked at Ai Yun with clear eyes. She knew that this man was actually full of pressure, but he seemed not to want to bring this pressure to others.

Watching him calmly as he slowly narrated these words that had never been mentioned before.

A man is only vulnerable for a moment.

Perhaps Ai Yun's image has always been multifaceted in the eyes of others, but in her heart.

It seems that after Ai Yun became Ultraman, he has always buried a secret deep in his heart. As time goes by, this secret puts more and more pressure on Ai Yun.

Sitting on the roof, Ai Yun was still looking up at the stars. The girl next to him looked at him. The night was just right and very bright.

The rare full moon shines on Ai Yun through the clouds. At this moment, he has stripped away all his status and is just an ordinary man.

"Actually, I also want to lie down and do nothing."

"Travel around the world with the old man, maybe go to other planets and try their specialty fruits."

"Of course, I'll take you with me."

"..."

Maya didn't speak, looking at Ai Yun who was smiling beside her, she just kept looking at him with her eyes.

It seems that he wants to keep his appearance deep in his eyes.

"Beep beep beep."

Just when the years were quiet, the personal terminal on Ai Yun's left hand began to ring.

"Commander Ai, there is absolutely no movement here."

Xincheng yawned, not realizing that his phone call had ruined the good things between the two.

"..."

Just turn off your personal terminal.

He is not the captain of the victory team, so he needs to find Hui as an intermediary if he has something to do! What are you doing here looking for someone who is riding a horse?

"Beep beep beep."

There was another sound from the personal terminal.

The big old man on the screen walked quietly to the side, reached the blind spot where Horii and Shinjo could see, and said secretly.

"Commander Ai, Commander Ai, I noticed something is wrong here. I feel like there is a monster smell."

"Has the monster appeared now?"

Dagu scratched his head and said, "No."

"Then is there something wrong with you calling me on the phone!?"

As my dear Staff Officer Ai shouted loudly, Dagu Zhen's ears were numb.

No, what's this? You didn't ask us to do this. How can you still be criticized if you report the problem honestly?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Dagu continued to squat in the lotus pond.

The person shuddered unconsciously and shrank subconsciously.

It's the end of November, and let's just say it's a bit cold.

"Aqiu!"

The hut next to the lotus pond, as the commander of a four-person team, naturally needs a good observation point, and in order to prevent any abnormality in his body from occurring, which may cause him to be unable to react in time during the battle.

With the strong support of the team members, Zongfang could only reluctantly enter the air-conditioned cabin and make a cup of black tea to refresh himself.

What kind of spirit is this!

"I'm really sorry. It would be okay if the weather was hotter."

Zongfang took a sip of black tea.

To be honest, when he saw Ai Yun's expression at the noodle stall, he knew that this mission was just an errand at best.

Zongfang is still willing to help Consultant Ai run errands.

After all, working for the intermediary captain is your duty, and working under Staff Ai is extra money.

I recall that in the three years since he joined TPC, Munakata Chengyi, the villa complex in his hometown has been almost completed.

This is reasonable, legal and legitimate income!

There are traces to follow if you want to check, he is not an insect!

If he really had to go, he would be the first to rush forward to protect the people, but this time the mission was obviously not that serious.

Besides, their victory team came here this time for team building!

We can't stand in the way while the captain prepares to have a second child. His dignified commander Zongfang is still working here, right?

That's too pitiful.

Thinking of this, Zongfang took another sip of black tea.

Ah, life.

……

Kirino sat on his knees in his Japanese-style B&B, with no lights on in the room.

Only the shallow moonlight passed through the window and shone on an object placed in front of him.

The pair of glasses in front of him were the frames he wore when he was eight years old. The lenses on them had long since disappeared when he was bullied when he was eight years old.

Looking at this pair of glasses, he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Kirino stood up and leaned against the edge of the door. Various questions had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

Whether it's Ai Yun's performance during this period or his current strange situation.

You know, Ai Yun used to make false accounts, but he always left a sum of money for himself for emergencies, but the situation now seems to be completely different.

Even if he can't get out one million yen, he has to default on Ayan's account. This clearly shows that something is wrong with Ai Yun now.

He had long ago felt that Ai Yun seemed to be hiding something from him, but out of trust for his best friend, he did not ask questions.

But the situation now seems to be more severe than before.

Ever since he defeated the God of Kiri Elode, Aiyun's performance has been slightly different from before.

Kirino narrowed his eyes.

This led to him frantically testing Ai Yun during this period.

It did allow him to test something.

If I used to point my fingers at Ai Yun to make trouble, within three days, the other party would always come up with some big tricks for me, but now...

Whether it was Maya's matter or something else, every time Ai Yun said he was going to cause trouble, he actually didn't take any action.

As if these things would distract him.

"Zelda gas, Ebron cells, light..."

"Empty bank card, slightly weird behavior..."

One thing after another became a thread in Kirino's brain, and only one key piece of evidence was needed to connect the whole thing.

But what if you ask Ai Yun?

Are you kidding me? Ai Yun hasn't told this secret after all these years. I'm afraid it would be useless to ask.

What's more, he is having sex with Maya right now. Why is he, a grown man, going there?

What kind of light bulb?

He is not Dagu, he makes light bulbs every day and he doesn’t know how to do it.

Thinking of this, Kirino put back the frame in front of him in silence and looked at the bright moonlight outside.

The moon today is particularly beautiful.

The corners of Kirino's mouth turned up slightly. If it hadn't been for this team building, he would have almost forgotten the last time he took a break.

I picked up a tea cup out of habit, took a sip of tea, and used my superpower to sense the location of the lotus pond.

Well, they have all been sealed off, which is good. There are only a few people like Oko, Shinjo, Munakata, Horii and Asuka Nobu, which is good.

Kirino took a sip of tea.

"puff!"

Wait a minute? Did something weird come in?
