Across Ultra: Half Dream

After hearing what Seven said, Ji Ao expressed his understanding.

Then, Ace gently called over to Cero who was holding Chloe and said, "Cero, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter? Senior Ace." Zero asked in confusion, tilting his head.

"Look, I'm going on a mission, so I'd like you to stay at my house and help look after my daughter." Ace sighed, "You can see, Chloe doesn't want anyone but you."

"But..." Sero hesitated, "But I still have to go to class."

"Cero, you can't even take care of an Ultraman cub, right?" Seven was anxious and used provocation directly.

"Humph! What a joke! I'm not so weak that I can't even take care of a baby!" Zero shook his head proudly, "I'll do it!"

Hearing this, Sanao looked at the arrogant Zero and chuckled. Ace said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you, Zero!"

"..." Seeing the laughter of the three Ao in front of him, Zero finally realized that he had been tricked, but he agreed to it again... "Humph!"

Then, Ace set off.

"Ah~ah~!" Chloe saw Ace leave and started to struggle and throw a tantrum. She was so strong that Zero could hardly hold her.

Sero quickly changed his posture and coaxed, "Be good, little Yi, brother will take you to play."

Hearing this, Chloe hugged Sero's neck tightly and stopped talking. Sero patted Chloe's back gently and coaxed her patiently.

Watching Zero skillfully coaxing the child, Seven fell silent, feeling very distressed.

After seeing this, Mother Ultra sighed and said to Seven, "Seven, take these two children to buy some things for the Ultra cubs, and then send them back to Ace's house."

Seven came back to his senses and said, "Okay, mother."

Seven then took the two children to the largest mall in the Kingdom of Light and started shopping. When they reached the doll section, Chloe kept moaning and pointing with her finger.

Seven had no choice but to take them there. After entering, he saw Chloe trying to reach for the Ace doll on the shelf with her hands, and anxiously making a sound of "Ah~! Ah~!"

Seeing this, Seven helped Chloe take down the Ace doll, handed it to Chloe, and touched her head. "Little Chloe, you really love your daddy."

"Ah~ah~" Chloe nodded and pointed at the doll, as if answering Seven.

While holding Chloe, Zero was thinking in his heart, "This little sister is different from the one I saw in the Ultra House."

Then Chloe pointed at the rabbit-like doll and said, "Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!!"

Seeing this, Seven also took it down for Chloe.

Chloe laughed happily after getting the dolls, and her little hands grabbed the Ace and Rabbit dolls and refused to let go. Seeing Chloe so happy, Sero suggested buying her some other toys.

So, they continued shopping. Zero picked out a cute stuffed bear. Chloe's eyes lit up and she immediately reached out to grab it. Seven chose a picture book screen with various Ultraman stories on it.

Finally, they returned home with a full load. Seven took the two back to Ace's house and placed the purchased items on the sofa. Seven looked at the happy Chloe and felt extremely relieved.

"Little Chloe, are you hungry? Uncle Seven will make you some milk powder."

"Ah~ah~" Chloe stayed in Cero's arms, patting her stomach, indicating that she was hungry.

Looking at his son and the cute cubs, the old father Seven's aura softened a lot, and then he went to prepare food for the children.

Only Sero and Chloe were left in the living room.

Zero held Chloe on the sofa, picked up the picture book screen, and told her the story of Ultraman in a vivid and colorful way. Chloe listened attentively, and responded to Zero with babbling from time to time.

At this moment, Seven came over with a bottle of milk. Zero put down the picture book screen, took the bottle, and gently fed Chloe. Chloe looked at Zero and drank the milk contentedly. [Zero was also very handsome when he was a child, but he was too thin.]

Thinking of this, Chloe handed the bottle in her hand to Cero, making an "ah ah" sound, indicating that Cero should drink.

As Zero looked at the cub in front of him, he suddenly felt warm in his heart [I have never felt such kindness before...]

Then, Sero shook his head gently, stroked Chloe's little head and whispered, "Brother won't drink, you drink."

Chloe looked at Cerro seriously, and after confirming that Cerro really didn't want to drink, she continued to drink.

After drinking milk, Chloe's belly became round and plump. She burped, then stretched out her little hand and grasped Sero's finger. Sero was amused by her cute appearance and felt that the time he spent with Chloe was very warm.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Zero stood up holding Chloe and opened the door. He saw Taro and Taiga standing at the door. When Taro saw Chloe, a loving smile appeared on his face.

"Senior Taro." Zero greeted politely.

"Yes, little Cero." Taro took Chloe and held her in his arms. But Cero suddenly felt empty in his arms, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zero." Taro said with a smile as he sat on the sofa holding Chloe. "This is my son Taiga. He will help you take care of Chloe from now on."

"Hello, Zero, my name is Taiga." Taiga greeted stiffly.

"Hello." Zero replied stiffly.

"Hey, my little Chloe, do you miss Uncle Taro?" Taro picked up Chloe and said with a smile while looking straight at her.

"Ah~ah~" Chloe replied helplessly.

The next second, Chloe began to struggle and climbed up to Taro's head. Taro saw this and put his hand up, but he felt the horns on his head being grabbed by Chloe's hand.

Taro was about to take Chloe off helplessly, but the next second, Chloe opened her mouth and gave Taro's horns a saliva bath.

This made the two children next to them stunned.

"Ah! Chloe, you can't bite it! Let go!" Taylor was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and quickly asked Chloe to let go.

After finally getting Chloe down, Taro breathed a sigh of relief, but Chloe wasn't happy. She twisted her body to prevent Taro from holding her, and even reached out to Taiga.

Taro, who could barely hold Chloe, had no choice but to place her in Taiga's arms. However, Taiga, who had never held a cub before, was too stiff to move, fearing he might hurt Chloe. "Father, Father, Chloe is too soft. I dare not move..."

Before Taro could say anything, he looked at Taiga's expression and sneered without hesitation, "As expected, he is the crown prince. He can't even hold a cub. He is so useless."

"Who said that! I can hug you!" As he said that, Taiga put his arms around Chloe's neck and held her waist tightly.

As expected, Chloe struggled uncomfortably. Taiga thought Chloe was playing with him and hugged her even tighter.

“Waaaaa…!” Chloe burst into tears.

Zero looked at the stiff Taiga and the crying Chloe, and reluctantly grabbed Chloe and held her in his arms. "Learn from me!"

Then, Zero took out Ace's doll and stuffed it into Chloe's arms, coaxing her softly. Soon, Chloe stopped crying and happily hugged Ace's doll and babbled.

However, Taiga's brain is really useful. As a top student, he quickly understood how to coax the cub.

Taro, standing by, looked at the three little ones with a look of satisfaction. "Alright, Taiga, you and Zero take good care of Chloe. I'm going to go get busy. If you need anything, send me a message and I'll come over as soon as possible."

"I understand, father." Taiga said obediently.

Soon, Seven packed up everything and came out to see his son and Taro's son, which made Chloe giggle.

"Later, when Zeta gets out of school, you three can send me a message and I'll cook for you." After saying that, Seven left.

After the adults left, Zero and Taiga breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and snorted proudly.

"Ah~ah~" Chloe looked at her two brothers, clapping her hands in laughter. [How long do I have to keep pretending to be this kid? He's pretty free-spirited, though. Alas, it's a shame he can't talk. So annoying.]

Zero and Taiga had no idea what was going on in Chloe's mind, they just thought that this little sister in front of them was very cute.

Cero began to tease Chloe, "Come, Xiao Yi, come to Brother Cero."

Taiga on the side was not to be outdone, "Little Yi, be good and come to Brother Taiga."

Chloe saw both of the two little Aos reaching out their hands to her, and she said helplessly, "Ah~ah~" [This is the trouble of happiness!] Thinking of this, her body honestly crawled towards Cero, but when she was almost there, she lay down again and didn't move.

This scared Zero and Taiga, and they quickly picked up Chloe and checked her, but found that nothing was wrong. While they were still wondering, they heard Chloe's laughter.

"Ah~ah~"

Taiga couldn't help it and said depressedly, "Ah! This little scoundrel is scaring people!"

But Zero rolled his eyes, picked up Chloe, brought her to her room, and gently put her on the bed to sleep, while Taiga quickly followed.

Time passed by minute by minute. Chloe was still somewhat energetic, but with Sero's gentle patting and comfort, she gradually felt sleepy. Her eyes began to flicker, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and soon she fell asleep.

Looking at Chloe who was sleeping soundly, Zero and Taiga also felt sleepy. The two little Ao, one on each side of Chloe, also fell asleep quickly.

A few hours later, a loud noise woke Chloe from her sweet dream. She rubbed her eyes and saw that Cero and Taiga were arguing quietly about something.

“I said I woke up first!”

“It’s obviously me!”

“No, it’s me!”

.......

Chloe was so amused by their quarrel that she babbled, trying to attract their attention. Finally, the two children noticed her and stopped quarreling.

"Xiao Yi, wake up!" Zero and Taiga said in unison.
