Ultraman: A good pilot doesn't choose his own Ultraman.

Chapter 179, Section 178: Agul Did Not Respond (First Update)

Jiang Yu stood still, looking at Hayata Susumu with his gray hair, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Even on Earth, in the era of the original Ultraman, fifty or sixty years had passed since his time.

Because of the poor picture quality, the original Ultraman was not within Jiang Yu's viewing range.

I can't really accept things like sulfuric acid face treatments.

However, none of this changes the fact that in the Ultraman series, the appearance of Ultraman is the origin of everything that followed.

Now, the origin is old, isn't it?

After confirming that Hayata Susumu showed no signs of awakening, Jiang Yu hurriedly said goodbye.

"Uncle Hayata, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a little out of it right now. I'll go back and rest."

After saying that, Jiang Yu lowered his head and ran towards home with unusually fast steps.

"? This child—"

Hayata put down his toolbox, raised his hand and watched Jiang Yu's departing figure, wanting to stop him but not knowing what to say.

Everyone dreams of becoming a hero, but most people just end up being ordinary people.

"Ultraman?"

Looking up at the sunlight that had returned to its dazzling brilliance after the mirage disappeared, Hayata squinted, his mind flashing back to the Ultra Brothers he had seen with Daigo and the others.

That silver-red giant did indeed move him.

It seems that he was once a god-like being.

"Grandpa Hayata, is my bicycle fixed yet?"

A child's innocent voice pulled Hayata Susumu back to reality. A little girl with a red schoolbag blinked and looked over.

"Xiao Hui, it's fixed now. Come to the shop and ride your bike away."

Hayata looked at the little girl in front of him with kind eyes, and his old hand gently touched the girl's cute bun.

Before we knew it, he was already old enough to be a grandfather.

It feels like just yesterday that Lina was so small and adorable.

Speaking of which, when are Lina and Daigo getting married? He's kind of thinking about becoming a grandfather.

"How much does it cost?"

"No need, Xiaohui will just be more careful next time."

"Then next time, Megumi will treat Grandpa Hayata to something to eat."

A girl named Xiaohui happily ran into the store and rode away on a small bicycle. It was a small bicycle, but she really needed it because she was about to have a race with her friends.

After watching the little girl leave safely, Hayata Susumu changed to a slightly damaged bicycle and continued his work.

This time it's not a child, so we can charge a little money.

After a period of busy work, Hayata was drenched in sweat, his vision almost obscured by the perspiration.

Getting old makes even simple tasks so tiring.

As expected, he was not a god.

At the corner, the figure in the black cloak nodded in satisfaction and then disappeared silently.

On the Yokohama coast, a tired-looking Rena Hayata disembarked from the ship and almost dropped the microphone.

The mirage that appeared out of nowhere still shocked her greatly.

She could almost see the apocalyptic scenes, but as a reporter on the scene, she had to suppress her fear and continue reporting.

I never want to encounter this kind of job again, no matter how much I try to get promoted.

Lina thought to herself as she staggered down the steps, where she was helped by Yoshii Reiko, who had been waiting for her.

"Thank you, Sister Lingzi."

Hayata Reina felt somewhat relieved looking at Yoshii Reiko's smiling face; Yoshii-senpai was as reliable as ever.

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Reiko Yoshii helped Rena Hayata sit down on a bench, looking at Rena's pale face with some heartache.

"Lina, it must be tough to keep reporting on something like this."

When the emergency occurred in the morning, many TV station staff were so frightened that they ran to the shelter.

Compared to money and work, life is more important.

"Sister Lingzi, are you alright? Isn't this exactly what we reporters are supposed to do?"

Hayata Rena didn't dwell on it too much, but she was a little puzzled.

"Reiko-nee, didn't you say you were going to visit Dr. Fujimiya? Why are you back now?"

"I've spoken with people at their research center. Fujimiya disappeared when the mirage appeared."

I can't get through to him on the phone.

A hint of anxiety flashed in Reiko Yoshii's eyes, but she was also helpless.

If Fujimiya doesn't want her to know where he is, then she has no way of knowing.

Reiko Yoshii believed she knew her man very well.

"It's alright, Dr. Fujimiya probably just wants to clear his head by himself."

Hayata Reina held Yoshii Reiko's hand and comforted her.

Fortunately, Daigo is just a civil servant in the tourism department, so he can't and shouldn't just disappear like that.

"Yes, everything will be alright."

Yoshii Reiko gazed at the sea, where waves were constantly crashing, and felt a mix of emotions.

Fujimiya seems to be acting strangely lately because of that dream.

Fujimiya, what did you see?

"I have seen it, the future of Earth's destruction, the ocean is crying out in despair."

On a beach, Fujimiya Hiroya, still wearing his white coat, closed his eyes and opened his arms, looking pained, with cold sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.

After a long time, Fujimiya Hiroya finally opened his eyes and knelt weakly on the beach.

Why did the ocean show him a terrible future, but not give him the strength to protect it?

Is that blue giant, that unfamiliar Ultraman, Agul?

But Agul, why aren't you responding to me?

"Agul!"

A surging wave crashed ashore, engulfing the shouting Fujimiya.

A few specks of blue light flashed by, and Fujimiya, soaking wet, remained kneeling, utterly disoriented.

The giant in his dream did not respond to him.

Does humanity have no future?

After getting off work and returning home, Daigo, feeling relieved, parked his bicycle with bread in hand.

-

Turning around, I saw that Jiang Yu's lights were on, which was unusual for him.

Strange, Jiang Yu didn't go to accompany Miss Camilla today, and he came back so early?

Driven by this curiosity, and fueled by his afternoon dream that made him eager to share, Daigo gently knocked on Jiang Yu's door.

"Daigo? Come in."

Jiang Yu opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Da Gu carrying bread, but he didn't say anything.

I was planning to look for Daigo anyway, so it's good that I came ahead of time.

"Jiang Yu, why are you still—"

Daigo pointed to the bottle of wine in Jiang Yu's hand, clearly somewhat surprised.

In his memory, he had never seen Jiang Yu drink.

"That's not important, I just wanted to drink it today."

Jiang Yu shook the bottle; there wasn't much liquor left.

Daigo sat upright at the table, staring intently at Jiang Yu, who had stopped drinking. He could sense that his friend was somewhat disappointed.

"Jiang Yu, do you know what? After the mirage appeared today, I had a dream this afternoon."

I dreamt of Uncle Hayata and the others. It turns out they really are the Ultra Brothers, just like you said!

Jiang Yu looked at Daigo, who was speaking excitedly, and simply replied with a flat, "Oh."

I dreamt about it, so what can I do?
