Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

"Did you get it?"

I was walking silently in the snowy mountains with my companions when suddenly, a Yabo man said this.

He turned his head and looked back. In the howling wind and snow, the horizon was covered with dark clouds. The lines of mountains were faintly visible in the distance amid the dancing snowflakes. It was not dark yet, but in the snow-capped mountains swept by the storm, the snow particles could not approach them, but tore at their physical direction, making the entire snow-capped mountain a kind of closed alien world.

But when the Yabo people turned around, they seemed to see something extremely far away in their bright black human eyes.

The two Yabo people both looked like humans, but they were wearing brown cloaks with hoods covering their faces. When the snow particles approached them, they seemed to be swung around by some magnetic field, but the wind did not blow them. The corners of the brown cloaks were whistling.

"Did you receive what? Did you receive what? Are you talking about the monster under this snowy mountain?"

"No, it's a message from my companion."

In the raging snowstorm, in the howling of the wind, the Yabo people turned their heads and looked straight into the distance, muttering to themselves;

"That was... a dying message... the enemy, the enemy,"

"That enemy is someone other than us, the Yabo people—"

The body paused.

The sounds coming out of their mouths disappeared after being torn into pieces by the wind and snow beyond their immediate range. However, the distant message went far beyond the snow-capped mountains and burst out towards an even farther place.

The two Yabos stopped moving. In the process of climbing a high mountain in a blizzard, they stopped and stared at the sky, as if they could see something, maybe the stars that should be hidden in the wind and snow, or maybe something else.

......

"It's really thrilling."

With a deep breath, Konno Tsutomu finally felt that a day had passed. He couldn't help but slump down in his seat and said with some sigh and some relief;

"Finally my weapons came in handy yesterday, but it was too much for them to appear one after another. If it weren't for the last purple-blue Ultra Beast... Hey, that Kadnin actually retreated on his own. I wonder if Ace can still stop him."

Ace is basically the unified code name for the newly emerged warrior of light within Team Tucker. Some groups also call all such warriors who have good intentions towards humans that have appeared so far Ultraman.

As for Kadnin, it is the blue-purple super beast that looks like a crab turning into a super beast.

In yesterday's battle, Ace ultimately did not fight the Ultra Beast named Kadnin, because Kadnin simply chose to retreat after a confrontation with Ace, just before Ace attacked.

In front of everyone's eyes, he entered the different space again and disappeared, as if his purpose was only to kill the underground people.

"Yoshimura, this is the first time, to be honest, I was so excited when I saw Shinichi's missile blast off the monster's arms, I immediately fired at him! But once the barrier was opened like that, the weapon was useless. What on earth is that?"

"It's really exaggerated. It feels like it's completely immune to our attacks. But I'm more interested in what Kadenin is. It seems to be a super beast, with a completely different spirit from ordinary monsters. But the alien-like enemy that appeared later was obviously helping the super beast. Ant Super Beast also has a tendency to help him. Why did Crab Super Beast take the initiative to attack its companions? Could it be that the Yabo people also have team disagreements? It's not that serious?"

"Hey, Konno, you're sitting too sloppily."

"Ah, sorry."

Yamanaka said something to Konno, who adjusted his sitting position obediently and continued speaking;

"But it's really frustrating to keep going like this. The enemy has ways to neutralize our attacks, so in the end, we can only rely on Ace."

Beidou couldn't help but ask; "Isn't it good to rely on Ace?"

"It's not that dependence is bad." Konno Tsutomu adjusted his sitting position and said, "But human technology has advanced so much compared to before. There are so many technologies and new discoveries, but the result is that we are getting more and more backward. In the past, we could fight in cooperation with Ultraman, but now we are useless against invaders. In the end, it can be said that it is equivalent to letting Ace fight alone..."

“Have all these years of progress really been useful?”

Konno Tsutomu, who was born in a temple and was actually a top student in rocket engineering, said with emotion;

"You're so depressed, Konno. Anyway, now we humans can completely deal with ordinary earth monsters. This is a great improvement. If it were in the past, a monster with a little non-biological power would cause heavy casualties to the Earth Defense Force."

Yoshimura Kozo said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, anyway, it's just the same as before. We can just assist Ace. At least it worked wonders yesterday. Didn't we hold back the second monster that appeared?"

It's not a monster, that guy is an underground person.

Beidou hadn't said anything before, and now when he wanted to speak, he thought of what Nan Xizi had told him before.

[It's better not to tell anyone about the power of Ace. ]

No one knew that the alien-like enemy was an underground man. After all, he looked really strange, and it was not wrong to say that he was a monster after he became huge. If he said in front of everyone that he was an underground man without any evidence, it would be too suspicious.

Thinking of this, Beidou also went to look at Nan Xizi. Nan Xizi noticed Beidou's action and shook her head at him implicitly, and he shut up.

However, Team Yamanaka was very unhappy. He frowned at Konno Tsutomu and said, "That's too unmotivated. It's Team Tucker's responsibility to fight the Ultra Beasts. What if Ace can't show up? In the end, humans will have to fight on their own. To be content with the current situation is irresponsible to the citizens!"

Yamanaka is like this, he never targets anyone, except for the captain and Manashi Ryu who is vaguely the vice-captain, he dares to confront anyone, and at the same time, those he confronts are a bit... rough-minded.

"Okay, Yamanaka, what Konno meant is that now that weapons can't effectively strike the Ultra Beasts, we can only do the best we can. That's true, but since we've all joined the Tucker Team, this fact shouldn't be a problem for us."

Captain Long was not there, and the one who spoke was Manatsu Ryu who was also sitting here.

He shifted the position of the seat slightly.

"No matter who is here, no one is afraid of death, whether it's Minami Yuko and Team Mikawa, or Konno, Yoshimura, Beidou, Yamanaka and me."

"If you were afraid of death you wouldn't have come."

"of course."

"I'm definitely not afraid of death..."

"That's true."

"Of course I'm not afraid of death."

"Ah."

The order of speaking was Yamanaka, Hokuto, Konno, Yoshimura, Mikawa, and Minami.

"Today, when there is no war in the world, the Space Force and the Earth Defense Forces of various countries are the only teams and soldiers who can say that they are always on the front line of the war. No matter what, everyone can be proud of this. Maybe we are powerless sometimes, maybe we are vulnerable sometimes, but every time we go out, we are protecting the people we want to protect."

The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then Noriko Mikawa suddenly burst out laughing. It was a particularly cheerful and relaxed laugh.

"That's a very good quote from Team Member Shin."

"Suddenly I felt encouraged... Namo Amitabha."

"Why are you suddenly chanting at this time?"

"This is to ask for Buddha's blessing. My father is the abbot of the temple!"

"Aren't you a top student in rocket engineering? Your father is a host, so you should come home and inherit the family business."

"No, don't think being a monk is an easy job. I racked my brains to get into rocket engineering so as not to inherit the family business. How can I just go back like this after getting admitted?"

"You don't look like someone who came out of a temple."

"Hey, why are you making personal attacks?!"

"Pfft, pfft, haha."

When I walked out of the base today, the atmosphere in the base was pretty good.

As dusk approached, the God of Destruction came to take his place, and Xia Long quietly returned to his home.

He would not have done so originally, but since there was a new child in the family, he became worried about that child's mental health, and finally chose to let the God of Destruction take over and go home.

Just as he opened the door and was about to step onto the wooden board, he stopped.
