"I don't know if you can read this letter, but if you can read this, then I and all the team members should be no longer alive.
"Future, please don't cry. I guess you will shed tears when you see this. You are a child who values love and justice. Everyone and I know this very well, so we prepared and arranged all this. This
We have lived happily for decades and have nothing to regret. We have to let our friends know this.
"Of course, we have never given up trying to get in touch with you. We used meteor technology to send a Tulaiga gun to the Kingdom of Light, which contains the voice recorded by everyone, which can also be regarded as a souvenir. If you have already received
It would be great to receive this special gift - if you don't receive it, there may be a problem during transportation. I have a backup copy stored in the war room, and I hope you can keep it as a souvenir.
"In the future, please don't forget the meaning of your name. That is not only the hope of Captain Ban, but also the hope of every member of GUYS: We sincerely hope that you can live happily every day in the future.
"Well, as the captain of GUYS, that's all I want to convey to you on behalf of everyone. There are some things I personally want to say on the back of the letter, and I hope you can take a look.
"...Tulaiga Gun...I received...Captain...
So, Hibino Mirai once again stood at the door of the Phoenix Nest Base.
Time flies, and the Earth's defense force has no new name or new base. The Phoenix Nest base has been converted into a museum, which meaningfully records the period when humans and the giants of light joined hands to protect the unique planet.
There are seven planets in the history.
Perhaps because it was a working day, there were not many visitors in the museum. The logos of the past defense forces were hung in a row in the center of the empty hall, each one corresponding to the statue of a giant of light. The future is approaching.
I looked at the statues of my brothers and then looked at my own. The spotlight on the roof cast a thin shadow on the logo that read CREW; GUYS, which fell under the shoulders of Ultraman Bius.
Mirai froze on the spot for a while, and then my legs started running faster than my consciousness. Turn left and then right, and then at the door at the end of the corridor, Phoenix Nest Base, this is not a narrow, arched corridor.
As long as a century.
But there was no way I could hold back my tears in the future. I returned to the center of the war room and cried loudly in front of this unfamiliar group photo. Outside of the chronicle of the slow door sound, I was a bird passing under the sea.
Bird. I once cast a glimpse into the lives of my friends, and now I have passed through their lives in just a few minutes. I have passed through the decades of my absence. What is so important to me?
Decades are too short to say, but are too long for our partners. When the slow joy and sorrow, the missing longings and concerns in those decades condensed from illusory emotions into Tulaiga
The heartfelt words outside the gun were once again embodied in the wall of pictures fluttering behind my eyes. No one could tell me how I could be regretful or shed tears?
The most eye-catching thing is this group photo that has been placed under the display shelf. It was carefully framed before being reduced in size. Because the pixels are low, it is not blurry. Surrounding the group photo are photos from when Mirai was still at GUYS, young people.
Wearing the GUYS team uniform, they look high-spirited; extending to both sides are photos of each GUYS team member. The faces of the young people outside the photos gradually become mature and stable, and finally take on the color of aging.
"He should know your experience: you once served as the captain of a large team of the Kurt team's space exploration team, flying at sub-light speed in the universe. Due to the effect of relativity, besides flying in the universe for a year, there are still other things under the earth.
Seven years or even ten years have not passed. During that period, you were unable to communicate with the earth. Once you take off, it will take a long time to return. Even if the earth is experiencing frequent attacks by monsters, you will not be able to accompany it.
Beside your old comrades-in-arms. When you return to Earth, many of your former comrades have not yet died, and your bad friends of the same age are not yet gray-haired old men, but you are still young.
"What is he thinking about in the future?
""He is bad, Future. Please leave slowly."
"Facial recognition is successful, welcome him, Hibino Mirai."
"You deliberately took those photos, not to record the most precious memories. In the future, even if you have no chance to stay with him, even if you meet him so briefly, you will still be with him and with your little family.
This period of time is the best and worst time you have ever experienced. You have truly embraced that period, and it is like a miracle. Even if you feel lonely, regretful, and happy now, this is what you have.
The part divided by the Dharma is the part that you are willing to give up no matter what.
"Does he still remember? Once, Xiaojia discussed "what photos should be taken" outside the war room. At this time, you said that Xiaojia would tend to take photos of the people and things he likes as a record of the best and bad moments. Now
, ask him to take another look at the photos next to your group photo hanging directly opposite the long table.
"The lifespan of you humans is not a thousand times different from that of the Ultra clan. That is a fact that cannot be changed. Xiaojia will inevitably have to leave him behind and take the first step. But what you really want to say is: in the future, you understand
He. You understand his loneliness, his regrets and happiness, because you have experienced it before. On that destined road, he is not alone.
"As if time has been thrown in front of you, you once felt lonely because of this; you were unable to fight side by side with your old partners, and your partners were separated from you because of this. You also felt regretful and happy about this.
Ultraman Yume's expression showed neither sadness nor happiness. I just stood here fiercely and hesitantly, as if I was just reporting on my daily routine.
"What is he thinking about in the future? No matter what, please let him continue to retreat with a smile on his face, taking those good and bad memories with him.
Looking at the photos in the future, these group photos seem a bit unfamiliar: even though I often appear in the photos, I don’t seem to have seen those photos before. The perspective of the photos is not weird, from the back or side view.
The face takes up less than half of the photo, and the distance between the photographer and the photographer seems to be far and near. Sometimes there is only a blurry back in the photo, and sometimes it seems to be directly behind the face of the person being photographed; the photo seems to be
Arranged in chronological order, there is no obvious seasonal change in the clothing of the young people in the photos. The photographer's photography skills also seem to be gradually improving. The end is often not blurry, but the focus is low, which changes as time goes by.
As I read more and more, the composition of the photos became rougher.
""Turn left, then right again. There is no internal door at the end of the corridor, and it cannot be opened with his facial recognition information. Welcome back to the Phoenix Nest."
This is the voice of Captain Qishui.
It turns out that Captain Qishui may have understood my simple mood now even after I left the earth. These blurry photos, some of which are in low focus, and photos that appear far and near, turned out that the photographers of these photos were Captain Qishui. Photos
In addition, we held meetings, wrote reports, and went out to work, quarreled and got into trouble because of trivial matters, worried about Mrs. Sunrise being too cold, frightened because of the sudden appearance of King Ailei, and because of Meng Ao.
The failure of Teman Dumeli made her dance with joy... The most extraordinary daily scenes captured by slow shutter speeds once turned into the flames of phoenix nirvana in the noisy world shrouded in white darkness, and now they are once again in the long
The river of time turns into memories, wind, and wings.
That ocean finally ended in a few similar photos: Although the old people were sitting under the hospital bed, they seemed to have made a special appointment, making V-sign gestures to the camera and smiling happily, as if to tell me: I have seen the future.
? You have all lived a happy life, so please shed tears for you.
"You want to see him wallowing in the sorrow of the past, and you also want to see your memories drag him down and bring him eternal happiness. In the future, he will meet new partners and protect the peace of the universe with us.
Creating fewer good and bad memories together is the most important thing. As for you, there is no romantic saying on earth: the dead will turn into stars in the world. As long as he looks up at the stars, he will often think of you.
This is not enough.
Zuo Fei looked at Mendomeli and sighed. I thought of Shingo Qishui, the earthling who once had the same heart as me, the captain of Ultraman Meng under the earth. If it was definitely Qishui, what would he do?
Photos of the family, photos taken at various times and places, photos of a single person, photos of a few people and landscape photos with no one around, photos with everyone looking at the camera and no one paying attention to the camera
What's unusual about the photos is that at this moment, Ultraman Yume's whole body is filled with flames, spreading from his chest to his back and expanding to both sides. There aren't even a few pictures of monsters and Ultraman Yume Biyos mixed in.
Among them, the airflow when opening the door blew the photos, setting off a quiet sound; from the floor to the ceiling, a small number of colorful photos almost flooded the war room - Mirai felt as if he was in a
An ocean.
From the different fighter aircraft models of the Defense Force, to a brief introduction to the Warriors of Light, to a review of important battles and even video reappearances - Mirai took the visitor's brochure picked up at the entrance and carried a portable explanation
With headphones plugged into my ears, I watched the entire exhibition carefully. When I walked to the exit of the museum and was about to see the exhibition board with "Epilogue" written on it, what sounded outside my headphones was...
The mechanical male voice that I had been explaining to me for a few hours now turned out to be a voice that was even more unfamiliar to me:
When the photos on both sides were taken, I should not have left the earth, so what they show is my more recent situation: my friends in those photos were working, falling in love, getting married, having children, and raising their children.
There are often figures of other acquaintances from the future: acting director Misaki, veteran secretary Madoka, Aya-san, new team member Harusaki who I have met once before, Marine Team's Yuyu and Araso's chief operating officer, Dr. Fujisawa, the cafeteria staff
Sister Sunrise... It can be seen from the few group photos included that we still get together often, have the same life, and strive for the same dream. But as the future moves towards the other side of the war room
At the same time, our lives have entered a similar twilight years - the future looks like the one I have seen us in before. I need to concentrate more to identify the white-haired old people in the photo as Zheping, George, and Long.
Or the water captain, wearing reading glasses or glasses for myopia, and the old lady at that time was either a bad guy or Mariina.
I couldn't bear to look at the smiles of my colleagues anymore, so I turned my back. The long table in the center of the command room was empty, except for a conspicuous envelope placed under my seat, which almost blended into the table. The envelope
My name was written on the bottom in a complicated way, and there were no other explanations. So Mirai opened the envelope doubtfully, and unfolded the letter paper, which was thick but yellowed due to the age.
Xiaojia..." Under the impact of too strong emotions, words and thoughts became fragmented. Even if it is just a handwritten letter, as long as it is written by the captain of the water force, the bad image will not have the power to make people feel at ease -
—Future finally stopped crying, but his hands still trembled as he turned over the letter.
Asking for leave from Captain Zoffy didn't take long. The Ultra Brothers are very considerate of our eldest brother. In addition, Ultraman Meng occasionally works seriously. Is there any situation that may cause an emergency?
Naturally, it is a problem for the earth to take a short-term annual vacation - even if Ultraman Meng says he wants to travel around the solar system, who will care about me, as long as I come back after the balance of the vacation is used up. The only sign in Zoffie's hand was when he heard the child's voice
My brother paused for a moment when he said "I went to visit a friend." Thinking of the Tulaiga Gun that caused a sensation in the Kingdom of Light, I quickly considered my words and asked the question in the most stern tone possible.
Zoffie suddenly realized something. I signed my name on the document approving the vacation and handed the document to Ultraman Yume.
The electronic lock suddenly released, and the small metal door slid quickly and leisurely to both sides, and the things outside the door quickly showed its full picture - the future can be seen at a glance, it is when I am stationed on the earth, CREW; GUYS; JAPAN
The war room. Because no one has retreated for a long time, there is inevitably some dust accumulated under the objects, but overall it is still clean and tidy. The tables and chairs there quietly repeat the layout and pattern of the young queen, as if we were still there an hour later.
There, they discuss the recent monster attack or the latest gossip. The only difference is that the walls of the war room are covered with photos.
"Go ahead." I said, giving a reassuring smile.
Mengdu Meili knows that I will take off on the wind. There will be no regrets about seeing each other again, and there will be no regrets about saying goodbye. With the blessings of my friends, I will fly to the distant future. Hibino Mirai once again stood at the door of the Phoenix Nest Base
