Ultraman: I really didn’t work hard secretly.

night.

On the hillside behind Yanye Street.

Seth sat with the bald boss.

Because he couldn't beat the kid, the bald boss could only acknowledge that the kid was there to help him.

He couldn't think of any reason why the other party would play a trick on him.

"I don't know your name yet." asked the bald boss.

Seth: "My name is Seth, the son of Ultraman Seven and the younger brother of Ultraman Zero."

The bald boss thought the kid was a little too vain: "Just say your name, no need to say it so long."

Seth: “…”

Next to the bald boss, Shadow in the pot lifted the lid and introduced himself in an incoherent way: "I am Shadow, Master Ayan calls me Shadow."

The bald boss looked at the neon-lit city and introduced himself: "A long time ago, people called me Master Ayan."

"I've been a youkai in Hikino Street for a long time, so long that even I can't remember it clearly."

"Human technology is developing at a very fast pace."

Master Ayan's thoughts went back to the past, and he pointed at the flat and open driveway below.

"Before, that area was full of wooden houses, but now they have all been replaced with concrete houses."

“It used to be a pond there, but now it’s a sports stadium.”

"Before, when the lights were turned off, Hikeno Street was completely dark, and I could move around freely in the dark. Now you can see that even at night, there are only a few places where I can move around."

"I moved from the street to the back mountain, but soon humans will develop the back mountain, and I won't be able to stay here anymore."

Seth sighed: "Individuals are too small."

I probably can't empathize with Master Ayan, but I felt the sadness of an individual in the tide of the times when I read the original work of Ultraman Tiga.

In the original novel, Master Ayan discovered that he could never return to his previous village. After finding out that he had been abandoned by the times, he would rather die with the passing era.

Although the development of the times has its own laws, Seth feels that some changes can be prevented.

Sometimes the development of the times is not necessarily right, and sticking to one's own opinions is not necessarily wrong.

"I'll hold this place for you," Seth whispered.

"Why?" Master Ayan, holding the pot, asked in a low voice.

"Because I am Ultraman, not a human Ultraman." Seth answered seriously.

……

night.

Keigo Masaki, who was sleeping in bed, had a nightmare and felt dry mouth. He groped to get up in a daze to drink some water, and found that there was someone beside his bed without him knowing.

"What are you doing?"

"Just Ultra Warrior, please stop barging into other people's rooms."

After realizing that the person in front of him was the child he had seen during the day, Masaki Keigo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complained.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you for help with," Seth said.

Masaki Keigo's face showed some helplessness: "You think I'm a wishing well? I'm already having enough headaches developing a time-traveling machine, okay?"

"It's not that troublesome this time." Seth smiled.

"You own a company, so you should be rich, right?"

"Our company has many patents, and has been engaged in biotechnology business, so we have some small assets, maybe a few billion dollars," Keigo Masaki replied.

After saying this, his expression suddenly became alert.

"Are you planning to take my money again?"

Seth: "Hey, money is made to be spent."

"What's more, this time we're asking you to invest in a project."

"Can you help me buy the Hikino Street development project in the suburbs of Tokyo?"

"I don't do real estate. It's very expensive." Masaki Keigo looked alert.

Seth: "You said help me, what do you want? I can change it for you."

Masaki Keigo's eyes sparkled: "I want to have the power to become Ultraman, to guide human evolution, and to lead human history into a new course!"

"I might as well replace you instead of giving you this." Seth refused without hesitation.

"After I get rid of you, I'll let your company's vice president take over. It will definitely be much easier to deal with him than you."

"Haha, you are a righteous Ultraman Warrior, you won't do such a thing..." Masaki Keigo thought the kid was exaggerating and laughed twice.

Seth: ? ?

This expression made the genius scientist Masaki Keigo lose his confidence: "You wouldn't do that, right? (???;)"

……

early morning.

The hill behind Yanye Street.

Next to an old well, Seth found Master Ayan again: "Solved."

"What?" Master Ayan showed an expression of disbelief: "So fast?"

"Yes, I found the owner of a bigger company and bought the land from him. As long as that company doesn't go bankrupt, this piece of hill behind will always be your home."

After hearing what Seth said, Master Ayan was so moved that he didn’t know what to say.

"I……"

"Thank you!"

The problem that had been bothering me for so long was solved by the Ultra Warrior in just one night!

From now on, I will be a believer in justice!

"I have nothing to give you, so I'll just give you my shadow." To express his gratitude, Master Ayan pushed the pot in his hand towards Seth.

The shadow in the pot: “Ah?”

"No, just keep it for yourself." Seth declined.

“If I don’t need a shadow…” Master Ayan began to feel around on his body, as if he was looking for something.

Half a minute later, he took out a black object and said, "Please accept this."

Seth looked at the black plasticine-like object in Master Ayan's palm, his face full of confusion: "Are you sure this is not part of the shadow?"

"No, this is the 'night' I collected." Master Ayan shook his head and said a word that Seth didn't understand.

"I've never heard of this concept before." Seth was puzzled.

"Anyway, this contains my monster power, as well as other powers I've collected over the years. It may not be of much help to you, but this is all I have." Master Ayan seemed a little embarrassed, as if he felt his gift was too casual.

Seth took the 'black plasticine' and communicated with the system in his mind: "What is this? I have never seen it in the original book. Do you know what it is, system?"

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 'Obik's Night']

[Absorbing this energy body will allow the host to gain the power to travel through darkness. ]

"Ok?"

After the electronic prompt sounded, Seth couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

What a good thing! Rounding it off, it’s equivalent to having a teleportation skill!

"What's wrong with you?" Obik asked carefully, looking at Seth who had fallen into silence.

"It's okay. I like this gift you gave me very much." Seth came back to his senses and greeted with a smile.

Master Ayan: "That's good. If you have any requests in the future, please feel free to come here, as long as Shadow and I can help."

Seth absorbed the 'night' sent by Obik as quickly as possible and nodded, "I will."

After saying that, he tried to activate the dark teleportation, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot!

Master Ayan: "Did you see the shadow? The benefactor uses it very skillfully."
