On a summer morning, the sun hangs high in the sky, casting endless light and heat through the lush branches and leaves, reflecting as many haloes as stars and gravel on the ground. The breeze blows, and the branches and leaves Shake and shatter this shadow into pieces.
A bus came from afar, passed through the intersection, passed by the tall buildings, and stopped under the tree. The door opened, and Xinxing Mian, a young man who had graduated from university and was carrying a black backpack, got out of the bus and stood Under the shade of the trees, I looked up at the blue sky, as pure as sapphire.
"It looks like the weather is nice." Xinxing mian said to himself, carrying his bag and striding towards his home, looking around as he walked. He didn't know when he started to pay attention to the town. Every time I came back from school, I would slow down and use my eyes to record the shops, buildings and vehicles on both sides of the widened road.
Then, he discovered that many stores that originally existed in his memory had disappeared without realizing it. He and many children had followed my dreams along this road; this place originally had a store selling Ultraman peripherals. He met my dream here; over there, he bravely jumped over the abyss-like gap and got the red ball...
It has been more than ten years!
The small town where he lives has changed a lot, and he has also changed a lot from a third-grade elementary school student to a fourth-grade college student.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a surprised shout from the side: "Xiao Mian, you are Xiao Mian, right!"
Xinxing Mian couldn't help but stop and turned to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a young man covered in oil and sweat walking out of a small factory on the side of the road with a surprised look on his face. He looked very familiar. Xinxing Mian He was stunned for a moment, then his face showed surprise, and he said: "You are Tian Hao!"
"Yes," said Hiro Kashima, who had already arrived. He was about to hug him, but when he reached out his hand, he saw the gloves were almost black with oil. He stopped quickly and said, "Long time no see. I almost missed him just now." I didn’t recognize you.”
"Yes, we rarely see each other after graduating from junior high school." Xinxing Tsutomu also had a surprised smile on his face, but he was very surprised in his heart. Kashimada Hiroshi, who was a head taller than him at the time and liked to bully the weak with a gun, is now His face was full of smiles, and there was no trace of the domineering ferocity he had in the past.
Kashimada Hiroshi took off his oil-stained gloves, pulled up the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his sweat, and said: "I can't help it. I don't have good grades like you and Yu. I can be admitted to a high school in Tokyo. Separate It’s inevitable, but didn’t we meet it again today? If you say it, you must have been admitted to university.”
"Yes," Shinsei Tsutomu nodded and said, "I have graduated, passed the prefectural police recruitment exam, and will serve as a patrol officer in Mitsuoka."
"That's great." Hiroshi Kashima couldn't hide the envy on his face. He reluctantly joined the workforce after finishing high school. After working hard for several years, he opened this family factory that specializes in manufacturing garage equipment. He was busy every day. Late at night, the oil smell on my body cannot be washed away no matter how I wash it.
And Xinxing Mian, who was bullied by him at the beginning, went to college and became a patrol policeman. His salary didn't seem to be very high, but he had a variety of benefits and subsidies. No matter how you look at it, it was excellent. It explained what it means to widen the gap with academic qualifications. Knowledge alters your fate.
Xinxing Mian smiled sheepishly, and then asked, "Are Wata and Kohei still in Mitsuoka?"
"They are all in Mitsuoka. Wata, like me, only finished high school. Now he has inherited the optical shop at home. After Kohei graduated from junior college, he joined a publishing house. If you have time tonight, I will call them two. , let’s take care of you together.”
"Okay," Xinxing said happily, but also said with some regrets: "It would be great if Yuu could come. He is preparing for the monk (equivalent to a master's degree) exam in August. I'm afraid he will have to wait until the exam is completed before he can come. Got together."
"He is indeed the best at studying. It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of time in the future anyway." Kashimada Hiroshi also thought of the man who always followed Mito Shinsei, wore thick glasses, and always came first in every exam. Small boys are now out of reach.
Just as he was about to say something more, he heard someone shouting from the factory. He turned around and answered, then turned around and said, "It's agreed, let's get together tonight."
"Okay, I will definitely go."
The two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time exchanged a few words and separated. Kashimada Hiroshi ran back to the factory holding his gloves. Shinsei Tsutomu stood there and looked at his back, filled with emotions in his heart. He still remembered his junior high school days. Hiroshi Kashima has won many awards for his first-hand model making. He also said that he would become the best model maker, but now he is working in a cramped and noisy family factory.
But think about yourself, why isn’t this the case? I once dreamed of becoming a scientist and inventing an instrument that travels through time and space. Now I am about to become a patrol policeman with a stable job and guaranteed income from droughts and floods. I can only comfort myself with the reason "If you can't protect the world, then protect the citizens."
He turned around and walked towards home. In two days he would go to Guangqiu Police Station to report and start his patrol career. This period of time was also his last happy time. He chatted with his parents for a while at home and waited until night fell. On this occasion, I went to an izakaya that Kashimada Hiroshi mentioned.
The small private room can only accommodate four people, but the atmosphere is very lively. Childhood friends who have not seen each other for a long time are chatting, laughing, drinking, hugging each other, and exposing each other's shortcomings. A small embarrassing incident can make everyone laugh. Laughter, the sorrow brought by life has temporarily disappeared at this moment, leaving only the joy of reunited childhood friends and the beauty of reminiscing about the past.
The gentle Kohei Nakahara pointed at Kashima Tianhao and said with a smile: "I remember that Tianhao liked watching Ultraman very much at the beginning, but he was afraid of being laughed at, so he only dared to watch it secretly at home."
Kashimada Hiroshi, who was laughing heartily, seemed to have his tail burned on fire, and quickly defended: "The one who likes Ultraman the most is obviously Xiao Mian. He also said that the town was actually destroyed by monsters, but he and Ultraman We saved everyone together and the town recovered."
"That's right," Kosugi Gen also thought about it and said, "He also secretly told this to other people who like Ultraman as a secret, and asked them not to tell it, but in fact everyone already knew it."
"Yeah, I was really naive at that time," a drunken Kohei Nakahara waved his hands randomly and said, "I would take the things in my fantasies as reality, and always feel that I was great and would become a big shot. But what happened? Haha, the result..."
Kashima Tianhao hurriedly hugged Nakahara Kohei, who seemed to be thinking about something unhappy, and said, "I see you are drunk. Let's take a sip of tea first. Today is to help Xiao Mian wash away the dust, so be happy."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Nakahara Kohei also quickly adjusted his mood and became smiling again, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and even his smile seemed to be forcing a smile.
"That's not a fantasy, it's true. I did meet Chiba, Gamu, Asuka and the others." Xinxing Mian said with a happy smile on his face. Although more than ten years have passed since that "big adventure" Years ago, but now that I think about it, it is still vivid in my mind, and I am afraid I will never forget it in this life.
He fought side by side with the Ultramans, defeated the monsters together, and made the red ball that destroyed countless worlds disappear. Although I dreamed that they returned to their own world and everyone lost the memory of that battle, Xiao Mian I believe that one day, he will meet me again.
Kosugi Wataru hugged Shinsei Tsutomu and said with some surprise: "You have graduated from college, but you haven't graduated from Ultraman yet."
Xinxing Mian was startled. He heard this again. He couldn't count how many times. When he was in elementary school, Kashimada Hiroshi, who called himself an "adult", and the others often said, "You are such an adult and you still like Ultraman. It's really... "It's too childish." Later in junior high school, high school, and college, every time Xinxing Mian was watching Ultraman's discs and someone saw him, they would be surprised and say, "You still like Ultraman?"
Although the growth of age and experience prevents people from ridiculing as much as he did when he was a child, he can also feel others' surprise, confusion, and a little bit of ridicule, and he will not stubbornly say " I just like Ultraman." I would only reply "Just take a look." and then say silently in my heart, "Because Ultraman is the source of my courage and the pillar of my soul, which allows me to work hard every day. ”.
Therefore, when Shinsei Tsutomu heard Kosugi Wataru's words, he smiled and replied: "Because those are memories worth cherishing. If you remember them, you will be happy."
"Hahaha, yes, those children who watch Ultraman have grown up, and the good childhood memories can be realized," Kohei Nakahara said with a smile: "I am watching it too, from Ultraman to the new releases now "Ultraman", I read the monsters in it repeatedly, and the publisher asked us to sort out all those monsters and publish a special monster volume in conjunction with ENN."
Kashimada Hiroshi, who was sitting next to him, said in surprise: "Oh, is a new Ultraman going to appear again?"
"Yes, last time when I went to Engu Company to discuss cooperation with the president, I saw that the new logo was the letter Z." Nakahara Kohei simply said without going into details.
Xinxing reluctantly picked up the food on the plate and said with emotion: "However, Ultraman has been very strange recently. I feel that the story is very thin and too commercial. I can't find the original feeling at all. "
"Because there is no use just loving it. No matter how good it is, it is valuable only if it is sold. If it is not sold, it has no meaning. This is business." Unexpectedly, he said such philosophical words. It turned out to be Hiroshi Kashima. His face no longer had the hearty smile, but instead had a bit of bitterness, saying: "The times are changing, and the needs are also changing. No matter what, everyone will feel that the past is the best. Okay, then use the filter of memories to criticize the present."
Kashimada Hiroshi's words resonated with other people. No matter in work or in life, we can encounter people who always feel that everything was good before and everything is bad now. However, people cannot always live in the past, no matter good or bad. To move forward.
Xinxing Mian raised his chopsticks in the air, thinking of the Ultramen he met a long time ago - Tiga, Dyna and Gaia. After they saved the world, they returned to their own world, and "stay" Those in this world are just actors.
Although Xinxing Mian also knows this, he can't help but pay attention to these three actors, trying to find in them the shadows of Tiga, Dyna and Gaia he has met before:
Makoto Chiba, who has participated in Tiga, was in an idol group that had passed its peak period when he first entered junior high school. Except for the fixed fans, there were very few new fans to join in and have a meal together. It is difficult to guarantee fixed concerts every year.
A few years ago, it was revealed that she was in love with an actor who once played Lina, which further proves that her popularity has dropped to the point where she can fall in love, because those who can announce their relationship have either successfully transformed from idols to idols, or they have not. Why is he so popular? Otherwise, even if he has children, he still has to stick to a single character to maintain his popularity.
When he was in college, Chiba Makoto simply announced the news of his marriage. After that, he was rarely heard from. The only thing that caused heated discussion was the announcement of the disbandment of the already declining idol group, which attracted many ten-year-old fans. Check in to commemorate, and then disperse, without causing any further disturbance.
And Yoshioka, who participated in Gaia, has been active in the entertainment industry, but he has participated in various roles, many of which are villains, which made the rising star Tsutomu at that time very confused and even angry, thinking that he was ruining the show. I dreamed of falling into the mountains and even Ultraman Gaia, so I became angry and stopped paying attention to him.
It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that actors and the characters they play should be separated. Actors are just ordinary people with their own ordinary lives, anger, sorrow and joy. They don't have extraordinary powers, and they are not Ultraman on the screen. They cannot be compared with Ultraman on the screen. I've liked and admired Ultraman since I was a kid.
Nakahara Kohei saw Kashimada Hiroshi smiling bitterly, Xinxing Mian in a daze, and Kosugi Wataru sighing. The atmosphere was a bit wrong, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, let me tell you a strange thing. Last time I went to Enko Company, I encountered A strange guy wants to buy a monster."
Kosugi Wataru said uncertainly: "Let's buy a monster... figure, then he should go to Bandai."
"It's not a figure, it's a real monster, just like the giant monsters on TV that can move and destroy." Kohei Nakahara waved his hand and said with a smile: "He also said that he is a time and space merchant, and his main business is buying and selling monsters. Her face is painted like a geisha, she is dressed like Chaplin, and she is holding an umbrella, it’s really ridiculous.”
Everyone put this weird thing aside and continued to drink, talk, laugh and even sing, enjoying the rare comfortable time. It was not until late at night that the four of them left the izakaya with great satisfaction, walking arm in arm on the road, and burst out from time to time. He laughed loudly and felt very happy, but others looked like a drunkard and had to get around him quickly.
