Crossing Ultraman Tiga

It was winter, and the sky was covered with goose feather snow, which was fluttering all over the earth. The sky and the earth were covered in white.

Takano was wearing a black wool coat on the outside and a black turtleneck sweater underneath.

Carrying a black backpack that was bulging with too many things, he looked down at the map in his hand, and then looked at the Wumendake volcano not far away with some excitement.

"Huh... finally here."

Gao Ye exhaled a breath of hot air, which was clearly visible in the cold air.

Feeling a little hungry.

Takano took out the bread he had brought with him from his backpack and started eating it on the spot.

Taking big bites and chewing.

Looking down at his watch, Gao Ye realized that it was already late. He then looked at the sky and saw that it was gradually getting dark.

The cold wind at night will be even stronger.

Wouldn't it be better to warm yourself up in a warm cabin with a sip of hot milk or a glass of vodka?

"Let's find a place to stay first."

Takano thought to himself that there was no need for him to continue approaching Mount Kiromo in the severe cold at night, especially when visibility was even lower.

Through the map, Takano knew that he was in a place called Kuwata Town at the foot of Mount Kirikado.

Kuwata Town is not big, similar to the streets or small towns in China.

Gao Ye strolled around, but found that the only guesthouse here was full.

This is kind of bad.

There is no other choice but to consider staying here for the night.

The sky was getting darker and the wind was blowing colder. Gao Ye felt that it was getting even colder.

Tightening his tweed coat, Gao Ye began to try to knock on doors to ask for lodging.

After being politely rejected by five families in a row, Takano finally succeeded in getting a place to stay.

This family consists of a grandfather and a granddaughter. The grandfather is in his sixties, named Ken Matsushita, and makes a living by running a grocery store. The granddaughter is ten years old, named Akemi Matsushita, and is still in elementary school.

...

"Come on, Kono-kun, have a glass of milk while it's hot!"

Matsushita placed a cup of hot milk in front of Takano and then sat down cross-legged.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Matsushita!"

Takano politely took the hot milk, held it in his hands to warm them, and then took a small sip.

Really fragrant.

"By the way, I haven't had milk in a long time."

Takano laughed.

"You can drink more if you like!"

A girl suddenly leaned out from the door and said playfully, "The teacher said that if you drink milk every day, you will grow taller!"

"Haha, at my age, I'm afraid drinking milk every day won't help!"

Takano looked at the girl and smiled.

"Mingmei, come here quickly."

Ken Matsushita waved his hand at his granddaughter, a doting smile on his face.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Ken Matsushita asked, patting his granddaughter's head lovingly.

"I haven't finished the homework assigned by the teacher today. I can't do several math problems."

Mingmei said with some grievance.

"Is that so..." Old man Matsushita Ken looked a little ashamed, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to become deeper at this moment, "If you really can't write it, you should go ask the teacher tomorrow!"

"Maths?"

Gao Ye hesitated for a moment, but still smiled and said, "If you want, you can show it to me!"

He saw the dilemma faced by old man Ken Matsushita. It must be because he was too old and had little education, so he was unable to help his granddaughter with her homework.

"Really? Takano-nii-nii!"

The little girl had big, bright eyes. She blinked and looked at Gao Ye seriously and expectantly.

"of course it's true."

Takano smiled.

"Oh yeah! That's great! Brother Takano, wait for me!"

Mingmei suddenly became happy and ran back to her room happily.

In less than a minute, he happily brought back a math exercise book.

"Well, Takano-nii-san, that's all!"

Mingmei turned to the page in the exercise book that she didn't know how to answer, and then looked at Takano expectantly.

"Come, let me take a look."

Takano picked up the math exercise and looked at it carefully.

Soon, Gao Ye had an idea in his mind.

It turned out to be just a question for elementary school students, it’s too easy!

"Okay, this question is still very simple."

Takano began to explain to Mingmei seriously, "First you have to know that the sum of the lengths of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side, and then..."

Matsushita watched Takano carefully explaining math problems to his granddaughter, and his thoughts seemed to go back to the past.

Traveling through time and space, it seems as if another picture is before your eyes.

Wasn’t it the same at that time?

At that time, didn’t his son often explain questions to Mingmei in such a serious manner?

Monster...

The old man closed his eyes with a vicissitudes of life.

...

...

The next day, it was bright and clear.

After a night of raging wind and snow, the ground outside was covered even more heavily with snow.

Takano quickly tied the laces of his boots, put on a gray woolen hat, and stood at the door of the house.

As for the backpack, he left it in the house and did not carry it on this trip because he felt that he would come back.

"There's really nothing fun to do at Kirimon-dake Volcano. Why do you have to go there? And it's also very dangerous. It's a volcano after all!"

Mr. Matsushita advised.

"Because there are some things that I have to go there to find the answers to." Gao Ye smiled slightly, revealing a row of bright white teeth, as white as snow, "But don't worry, I'll be fine!"

"Answer?"

There was a hint of confusion in Panasonic's eyes.

but...

"Then I wish you to find the answer as soon as possible!"

Mr. Matsushita smiled kindly and said, "How about eel rice tonight?"

"Eel rice?"

Gao Ye touched his belly and chuckled, "I will definitely come back!"

"Then I'll set off!"

Takano turned his head to look at the Kirimon volcano which was not too far away.

"Brother Takano, put this on!"

Mingmei, who was wearing a school uniform, suddenly took off the scarf from around her neck and handed it to Takano.

"ha..."

Gao Ye felt his heart warm, but a helpless smile appeared on his face. He leaned down and supported his hands on his knees. "Thank you Mingmei for your kindness, but is this scarf a little too small for me?"

"Hmm, it seems... a little smaller?"

Mingmei puffed up her cheeks to ease her embarrassment and snorted, "Then I won't give it to Brother Takano, you big bad guy!"

"Hahaha...."

Takano and Mr. Matsushita looked at each other and both laughed.

"I'm leaving!"

Takano waved to Mr. Matsushita who was sending Mingmei to school.

"Remember to come back!"

The voice of old man Matsushita rang in my ears.
