Ultraman: He was bestowed a treasure by the King of Ultra at the start of the game.

Hearing Daigo's words, Lina sat a little closer to the ground.

Zhao Tianyi turned his head slightly and saw Lina. Her once beautiful face, no matter how hard she tried to take care of it, showed the marks of time.

Lina is now nearly forty years old, and her face doesn't really match Daigo's anymore.

Of course, it's just that their faces don't match.

They are an absolutely loving couple, and nothing can stop them.

When Zhao Tianyi saw this scene, he suddenly thought of the brevity of human lifespan, something that is fleeting.

And it passes away very quickly.

Daigo must have known this too, so it's normal that he cherishes his family even more.

“Actually, it won’t take too long, Daigo,” Zhao Tianyi tried to persuade him. “The time flow is different in the two universes. In the Land of Light universe, it can be finished in a few days at most.”

"Maybe then... well, it hasn't been long for Lina, maybe just a few hours."

Daigo suddenly stood up and stared at Zhao Tianyi.

There was no anger in his eyes, only weariness: "Can you guarantee 100% that it will only be a few days? I went to help you before, and that journey took thousands of years. Although only a few years have passed here, but..."

Daigo thought that human lifespan was only a few decades, and even if it was only a few years, he didn't want to be separated from Rena again.

He had already missed Xiaoguang's primary and junior high school years and didn't want to miss any more.

Even though he hadn't finished speaking, Zhao Tianyi naturally understood what Da Gu meant, and he lowered his head.

"But what about the peace of the universe..."

"Countless warriors will protect the peace of the universe!"

Daigo interrupted him, his chest heaving violently, "But Rena and Hikaru only have me! Tenichi, do you understand? I can't gamble anymore, I can't afford to lose!"

After saying this, Daigo seemed to have lost all his energy, and he looked down at the soft sofa.

Then he closed his eyes.

The flame of expectation in Zhao Tianyi's eyes was extinguished.

Daigo's words were quite blunt; it seemed that this request for help was impossible to fulfill.

Lina sat to the side, her eyes already red.

She was very clear about Daigo's struggles, knowing that his sense of responsibility and friendship with Tenichi were burning within him.

She gently took Daigo's hand, but said to Zhao Tianyi, "Tianyi, I know this is difficult... but could you..."

Lina agreed with Daigo's request to help, since not only Daigo, but Zhao Tianyi was also Lina's good friend.

Moreover, according to Tianyi, she could accept that Daigo was gone for several hours if there was a time difference.

"Lina!" Daigo turned around abruptly to look at her, his eyes pleading, "Please don't try to persuade me, I beg you."

The fear in that gaze was so real, like an ice pick piercing Lina's heart. She opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only helplessly lower her eyelashes.

Then, she gave Zhao Tianyi an apologetic smile.

Looking at the two people holding hands tightly in front of him, and at the almost overflowing determination in Da Gu's eyes, Zhao Tianyi suddenly felt all the strength drain from his body.

On his way here, he had imagined the scene of their reunion countless times, but he never thought it would be like this.

Ultraman Tiga, who always charged ahead on the battlefield; Daigo, who was willing to burn himself for justice.

At this moment, however, he was as afraid as a child, desperately protecting his family and refusing to set foot on the battlefield where he once was.

Thinking about Ellen's illusion technique, I really wonder what Daigo saw back then.

After all, Daigo's attitude towards himself changed precisely after the time-travel castle incident.

"So... no matter what, you won't help me at all?" Zhao Tianyi's voice was as soft as a piece of glass about to shatter.

He didn't know what was making him feel uncomfortable.

In fact, Zhao Tianyi understood Da Gu's concerns. Even if he didn't help, it was fine. However, Da Gu's expression and tone really made him very sad.

Daigo turned his head away, no longer looking at him, and only squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "Yes. I'm sorry, Tenichi."

“I’m sorry…” Zhao Tianyi murmured, repeating those three words. “No need to apologize, Da Gu. I understand you. I’ll be going now. It’s quite busy on the battlefield.”

He stood up from the sofa, staggered back a small step, and bumped into the cold door panel.

The starlight outside the window shone through the glass onto him, casting a particularly lonely shadow on him.

He took one last look at Daigo, slowly opened the door, and then gently closed it again.

"Take care of yourself."

As those two words fell, Zhao Tianyi's figure had already transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the Martian night.

There were no farewell hugs, no old jokes, only cold stardust slowly settling in the air.

Inside the room, Daigo slowly slumped onto the sofa, covering his face with his hands, and warm, wet liquid silently slid down between his fingers.

Lina walked over and gently hugged his trembling shoulders.

He'll understand, won't he?

She asked in a low voice, her voice choked with emotion.

Daigo didn't answer, but buried his face in Rena's neck like a lost child.

Outside the window, the Martian winds still howl, while at the edge of the solar system, a golden light floats and sinks in the sea of ​​stars.

In the end, Rittrolley tore open a spatial rift, took one last look at Mars, and chose to leave.

Only a series of sighs that no one could hear remained.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Daigo raised his head again and faced Rena with the warmest smile.

"Don't worry, Tianyi is very strong. Even if he encounters a new enemy, he will definitely be able to overcome all obstacles."

Daigo seemed to be comforting Rena, but also comforting himself, "Even without my help, he would definitely win, right? He has never lost."

Lina nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

“I remember when he was still on the Victory team, he was always full of ideas and concepts.”

Lina echoed Daigo's words, saying, "Even when facing the powerful Gatanothor, he devised a whole bunch of battle plans, didn't he? Just as Daigo believes in him, I also believe that Tenichi will always be victorious."

Gatanothor...

Daigo trembled for a moment as the image of Gatanothor from the illusion flashed through his mind.

But that moment passed in an instant.

He stood up and picked up the bag again: "I've rested enough, shall we continue packing?"

Reina stood up and nodded, looking at Daigo's seemingly expressionless face.

"Then let's continue cleaning."

This time, Daigo quickly recovered, no longer freezing for a few seconds like before, but instead unleashing an extremely fast speed, the speed that belonged to Ultraman Tiga.

The entire house was quickly cleaned up.

He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice when Lina stopped halfway through, or when she looked at him with deep concern.

He didn't even realize that... he had also put some things that should have been thrown away into the bag.

Lina slowly walked to the window and looked outside.

The stars still filled the entire field of vision.

However, the pattern formed by these stars seemed to resemble the boy's dejected face and lifeless eyes.

"Daigo, am I a burden to you living with someone who is just a human?"

"Shouldn't Ultraman Tiga be traveling through the universe, fighting against evil forces?"

she does not know.

She didn't know whether she should know or not.

All she knew was Daigo and Tenichi.

They are both very good people.
