I collect attributes in Ultraman World

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Two weeks later, in XIO's combat command center, everyone looked at the big screen with serious expressions.

Under the deep darkness of night, a gigantic monster emerged from the ground.

It moved slowly, crushing a self-built house.

The male reporter said, "This is video footage from 4:13 AM today in the T4-7 area. Afterwards, abnormal localized tremors were detected in the nearby suburbs."

Translation: The monster appeared, then burrowed underground and ran away.

Yu Hui said, "I know this monster. It's the ancient monster, Gomes. So what happened to the residents of that building afterward?"

Vice Captain Tachibana sighed, "Humans are so insignificant in the face of such enormous monsters."

Captain Shenmu glanced at Yu Hui and the earth:

"Before Belial and X appeared, we were under even greater pressure, and each monster we defeated came at a huge cost."

"Especially when monsters appear in the city, the casualties are staggering."

After saying that, he ordered Asuna and the others: "Go and gather information about the epicenter. Move out immediately!"

"understand!"

Just as the captain was about to return to his post, someone delivered a letter: "Captain, there's a package for you."

"Thank you." Captain Shenmu opened it and was stunned by the name on it.

Daisuke Ogata and Yumi Kamiki.

That was his daughter.

He immediately opened the letter, and after reading it for a while, his expression was no longer calm.

Yu Hui and Vice Captain Ju both noticed his unusual behavior.

........................

To calm himself down, Captain Shenmu went to the rooftop to get some fresh air.

He took out his multi-functional communicator, intending to call his daughter, but hesitated to press the call button.

"What's wrong?" Vice Captain Tachibana walked over.

Captain Shenmu thought for a moment and handed the letter to her.

When Vice Captain Ju opened it, he discovered it was actually a wedding invitation.

"Yumi is getting married? Congratulations! Wait... the wedding ceremony is tomorrow?" Vice Captain Tachibana was surprised.

"Didn't she tell you before?" Vice Captain Tachibana asked, "This is too rushed."

Captain Shenmu remained silent.

Vice Captain Tachibana: "So... she did all the preparations by herself, right?"

Captain Shenmu looked ashamed: "Hmm... I guess so."

Vice Captain Ju said, "I think you should go see her. After all, the day before the wedding should be spent together as a family."

"Huh? Is there such a tradition in Japan?" Yu Hui suddenly popped up.

Vice Captain Ju was startled: "Team Member Yu Hui, what you..."

Captain Shenmu remained calm throughout: "What do people do before they get married in China?"

Yu Hui stroked his chin:

"This touches on a blind spot in my knowledge. I'm only twenty-two years old, and marriage is still a long way off for me."

"However... I've heard of a tradition where men and women separate before getting married and have an 'ultimate bachelor party' to celebrate their last days of single life."

"It seems someone got so drunk from partying that they blacked out and missed their own wedding."

Captain Kamiki said, "Yumi is a good girl, she would never do such a thing... but she probably doesn't want to see me."

Yu Hui said, "Why? If I didn't want to see you, I wouldn't have given you an invitation."

Captain Shenmu looked at Yu Hui:

“Team member Yu Hui, you said you are twenty-two years old this year, which is about the same age as my daughter.”

"Then your father must be about the same age as me."

"If your father was too busy with work to spend time with you when you were young, would you resent him?"

Yu Hui said:

"The word 'resentment' carries far too much weight..."

“My father was a policeman. He worked his way up from a criminal investigator to the chief of the bureau. In my memory, he was always very busy.”

"But my thinking might be a bit strange. I think it's really great that my parents don't care about me!"

“After I got home from school, one of them was busy at the bureau and the other was busy at the hospital.”

"I'll take the money left on the table, and if I want to eat KFC for dinner, I can eat KFC. When I get home, I can play on the computer whenever I want!"

Looking at the beaming Yu Hui, Vice Captain Ju suddenly laughed: "I never expected that the famous Speaker Yu would have this side to him."

Yu Hui said, "What's wrong with that? No one is born a majestic boy. Everyone has a childish phase."

Captain Shenmu replied, "Didn't we leave you money for dinner? How can we just ignore you?"

Yu Hui said:

"That certainly doesn't mean they'll completely ignore it."

"After I became seriously ill, they often stayed with me."

"But Captain Shenmu, you don't seem like someone who completely neglects his children, do you?"

Captain Shenmu remained silent for a while, and in order to make Yu Hui understand, he told her about something that happened twelve years ago.

At that time, I was just an ordinary member of the XIO Japan branch.

Because my wife is seriously ill, I took leave to stay with her in the hospital room.

I remember that night, my daughter cherished her father whom she hadn't seen for so long. She held his hand tightly, as if afraid that he would leave again like before.

But not long after I arrived, the alarm went off, and I could vaguely hear the roar of a monster.

His phone rang quickly; the team leader at the time said it was an emergency assembly and told him to come over immediately.

He said "I understand" and was about to push the door open to leave when his daughter clung tightly to his legs, preventing him from going.

"Go ahead," his wife said to him first, her face pale as she lay in the hospital bed.

Then she instructed her daughter, "Tell Daddy to be careful on the road, okay?"

"No!" Her daughter still clung tightly to her legs, her voice trembling with tears.

His wife continued in a weak voice, "If Daddy doesn't go, many people will be in danger. Be good, Yumi."

Looking at his wife on the hospital bed, whose face suddenly contorted in pain, and then at his daughter whose face was full of expectation.

At that time, Captain Shenmu really had the idea of ​​"disobeying orders".

But the faint sound of artillery fire in his ears told him he couldn't do that.

He also wants to be a good father and a good husband, but the countless people threatened by the monster need him to be a good team member.

Yu Hui asked, "So in the end, did you go?"

Captain Shenmu said, "Well, I still went to fight... Since then, my daughter has become somewhat distant from me."

Chapter 571 The Cosmic Cat Demon Makes its Debut!

After listening, Yu Hui commented, "It's not your fault that the monster spawns at that particular time, and it's impossible for it to be such a coincidence every time."

Captain Shenmu sighed: "It won't always be such a coincidence, but I have to stay at the base for training most of the time, and I rarely have time to take care of my family."

He then spoke in a self-reproachful tone about some past events, such as being unable to attend his daughter's parent-teacher conference and sports meet, and being unable to attend her graduation ceremony because of his monster-hunting expedition.

Now that he's the captain of XIO, he can leave the base at will without having to ask for leave.

But out of a sense of responsibility, he almost never left the base, remaining on standby so that he could deal with the monsters at the first opportunity.

So, he actually sees his daughter quite rarely anymore.

After all, monsters won't stop causing trouble just because humans are on holiday. It's unreasonable for a Shiny Doll to materialize.

When Yu Hui heard that the father and daughter only saw each other two or three times a year, he was completely convinced:

"Okay, your workload is much heavier than my dad's, after all, you guys are fighting monsters."

"However, while you personally have to 'sacrifice your small family for the greater good,' hasn't the organization helped you solve similar problems?"

"And now that you're the head of XIO, your daughter must be enjoying a lot of benefits too."

Vice Captain Tachibana: "XIO's family will certainly be taken care of, but it's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be."

Captain Shenmu shook his head: "What high-ranking officer? I'm just an ordinary member of XIO."

However, despite this, he thought about it and still dressed in a proper, dignified dark blue officer's uniform to see his daughter.

And he was driving a public bus, that red 'Athos'.

"This..." Yu Hui, who had secretly followed them, was dumbfounded when he saw Captain Shenmu's daughter.

Because she was just an ordinary waitress, politely bowing to people entering and leaving the shops.

Yu Hui said, "This...this...isn't this job a bit too simple? Has this daughter not benefited from her father's fame at all?"

Beria said, "Maybe he's just throwing a tantrum and wants to be self-reliant?"

Upon seeing his daughter, Captain Shenmu's expression became very unnatural, and he seemed somewhat at a loss.

But he eventually waved and went up to her to talk.

After standing there for a long time, Captain Shenmu finally said dryly, "Usually, one should ask for leave before a wedding, right?"

Hiromi Kamiki said, "Oh, really?"
