This day, Tsunaki was lying on his bed organizing materials about the world of Blazer.
He discovered that some things weren't quite right.
He hadn't encountered the parent-child monsters that were supposed to appear, nor had he seen the Chief of Staff's outburst towards the Special Monster Team.
Could it be that this universe had truly changed because of his appearance?
As he was pondering this in his mind, the doorbell rang.
"Tsunaki-kun, are you home?"
It was Hui Mei's voice from outside the door, which made Tsunaki a little joyous, as this was the first time Hui Mei had ever come to see him alone.
He quickly got dressed and got out of bed to open the door.
Upon opening it, Hui Mei's appearance refreshed Tsunaki's eyes!
Today, Hui Mei was wearing light, elegant makeup and a pure white dress, with a sweet smile on her face.
She seemed to be carrying something in her hand.
Tsunaki felt as if his heart had been struck by something; he had never seen Hui Mei look so gentle and serene before.
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, he smiled politely and said, "Hui Mei-member, you look beautiful today!"
"What brings you here today? You always seem so busy."
Hui Mei blushed at his compliment.
"Tsunaki-kun, didn't I say you can just call me Hui Mei? Why must you insist on calling me Hui Mei-member?"
"Sorry, sorry, Hui Mei, do you need something?" Tsunaki corrected himself and asked again.
At this moment, Hui Mei was scheming in her heart, her index fingers unconsciously twirling.
"Um... Tsunaki-kun, do you have time today? Could you accompany me out for a bit?"
Seeing her like this, Tsunaki's heart leaped.
Heh, this is promising!
He feigned a serious, thoughtful look. "Hmm... if it were anyone else, I'd definitely be busy, but for you, Hui Mei..."
His words suddenly stopped, and Hui Mei waited with anticipation for him to continue.
"If it's you, Hui Mei, then of course I have time!"
Tsunaki flashed a pure smile, and Hui Mei's small face turned bright red.
The two strolled aimlessly along the road, chatting back and forth, and before they knew it, they had reached a park.
They found a bench and sat down. Tsunaki looked around the area, finding it somewhat familiar, but didn't think much of it.
Then, Hui Mei posed a question that made it difficult for him to speak.
"Tsunaki-kun, what do you think... about Ultraman Zero?"
Upon hearing this question, Tsunaki's body trembled slightly.
Suppressing his composure, he cautiously replied, "Ultraman Zero? He's a very powerful warrior, isn't he? He protects humanity and fights monsters alongside Blazer, and his moves are just so cool!"
Turning his head, he saw Hui Mei give him a mysterious smile.
"Do you really think so, Ultraman, Zero?"
Tsunaki's eyes widened, and he stared straight at Hui Mei, their gazes meeting.
The awkward silence of them looking into each other's eyes continued until, after a long time, Tsunaki let out a sigh like a deflating balloon.
"Alas, you've discovered me. How boring."
Seeing his dejected look, Hui Mei couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, handing him the coffee in her hand as she laughed.
"Don't worry, Tsunaki-kun, I'll keep your secret!"
Tsunaki took the coffee she offered, glanced at it, and saw it was a latte, which suited his taste!
He then asked, "Hui Mei, how did you find out?"
Hui Mei smiled slightly, "Tsunaki-kun, actually, I saw you use your special abilities by the sea with my own eyes. And last time, right after I got angry with you, Ultraman Zero went crazy attacking that monster..." Her voice grew quieter and quieter, almost inaudible.
Seeing her emotions falter, Tsunaki quickly soothed her, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all in the past. Don't think about those unhappy things anymore."
"I have to say, Hui Mei, you're really observant. You noticed even this."
He put on a troubled expression, but it successfully diverted the somber topic.
"Speaking of which, Tsunaki-kun, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
"As an Ultraman, do you belong to this Earth? Or... do you come from another planet?"
Asked this, Tsunaki looked up at the clear sky and fell into thought.
Thinking about Ultraman Zero's mission, he genuinely didn't know his situation.
The Land of Light, Belial, he hadn't even figured out the cosmic timeline yet.
No, he had to find a way to go back to the Land of Light. He had finally arrived in the Ultraman world, and he was full of anticipation for those legendary Ultraman warriors!
Just as he was about to answer Hui Mei's question, the ground suddenly began to shake violently and abnormally!
The two quickly stood up and looked around, only to see a huge white shadow appear in the center of the city not far away.
Tsunaki recognized it instantly!This wasn't the 'Gù Yǒng Zhě' (Gushing Person), the two-dimensional monster Gabaton, created by those kids?
It started as just a small blob, but these children kept drawing it bigger and bigger.
He thought this monster wouldn't appear again, but unexpectedly, they couldn't escape it!
Hui Mei had already contacted the team members. Since Askalon was undergoing repairs and upgrades, the captain and team members were on their way in the Mobile Outpost.
However, at this moment, the defense force suddenly launched a missile attack on the monster!
Several missiles fell onto the city streets near Gabaton, causing violent explosions, and a building was left precariously crumbling under the impact of the explosions!
Tsunaki's heart raced with urgency, as he knew Xian Ren's son, Xiǎo Chún, was still in that area.
Originally, Xian Ren should have saved him, but unexpectedly, even this matter had changed!
"Hui Mei, wait here for the team members to rendezvous. I'm going to save him first!"
Without waiting for Hui Mei's reaction, he transformed immediately. Since Hui Mei now knew his identity anyway.
With a flash of light, Tsunaki transformed into Ultraman Zero and appeared beneath the building, propping it back up.
He looked at the large blob and fell into thought.As expected of the 'Gù Yǒng Zhě', it was truly 'Gù Yǒng Gù Yǒng' (Gù Yǒng Gù Yǒng - a sound effect implying something heavy and slow moving, like a creature 'oozing' or 'crawling') on the ground!
At this moment, children's shouts could be heard from the ground: "Ultraman Zero, don't hurt Gabaton!"
"It didn't do anything wrong, it was just sleeping. It's all our fault for drawing it too big!"
Tsunaki understood their concern, fearing he would destroy this gentle monster.
But what he wanted to say was, this thing is a two-dimensional monster, it's not that easy to destroy!
So, he helplessly nodded at the group of children below and walked to Gabaton's side.
He placed both hands under Gabaton's belly and easily lifted it up.
Then, carrying Gabaton, he flew into the vast universe and threw it onto a flat meteor.
Alright, sleep well here, sleep for one hundred and eighty...
After finishing everything, he returned to Earth.
Hui Mei was still waiting for him. Seeing him return, she couldn't help but tease, "I wouldn't have thought it, Tsunaki-kun, you're so kind-hearted!"
The teasing words made Tsunaki chuckle repeatedly, feeling a bit embarrassed.
