Chapter 31 The Appearance of Kotaro

"I'm fine, thanks to the kid next to me, it was he who withstood the falling meteorite and saved the lives of a family of three." The Mother of Ultra stretched out her right hand and pointed to Firth, who was standing beside her.

"Young man, are you?" Zoffie looked the young man in front of him up and down, and said suspiciously.

Being stared at by Zofie with a strange gaze, Firth felt a little uncomfortable, and said a little nervously for a while: "My name is ...... Firth. ”

"Firth, on behalf of all the members of the Space Guard, I would like to thank you!" Zoffie bent down slightly, leading the two team members behind him to bow to Firth in thanks.

"Thanks?" Firth looked a little surprised, "I saved someone else, not you, why should you thank me?" ”

"It is the responsibility of our Space Guard to protect the peace and security of the Land of Light, and you are assisting us in our work by helping us save civilians in danger, and we deserve to thank you." Zofie said gratefully.

"Why...... Are you willing to protect the world wholeheartedly? Is the life of another more important than one's own? Firth wondered.

"Because in this world, there are still many people who are very important to us, and there are many people who are worthy of our protection, feel the world with your heart, you will find that there are many beautiful things in this world, and they are worth our lives to protect!" Zofie said with deep feelings.

"Feel the beauty of this world with your heart?" Firth muttered in a low voice, remembering what Smith had said: "Think more from someone else's point of view, understand other people's minds, only then can you see the good side of the world!" ”

"I see!" Firth nodded in realization.

"Firth, you should have learned combat skills, right?" Zofie looked at Firth with admiration, he felt that the fighting strength of the young man in front of him should be good, after all, being able to withstand the damage of a meteorite moving at high speed is not something that anyone can do.

"Learned a little." Firth nodded affirmatively.

"I wonder if you're interested in joining our Cosmic Guard? Our Space Guard is currently short of manpower, if you're willing to join us......"

"I'll join, but not now, next month I'll rely on my strength to join your cosmic guard team with integrity!" Firth interrupted Zofie, firm and confident.

Seeing that Firth looked like he was bound to win, Zofie understood Firth's determination to join the Cosmic Guard by his own efforts, and he did not force it anymore.

"Alright! Firth, I'll be waiting for you next month in the Cosmic Guard, and I wish you success! Zoffie patted Firth on the shoulder, and then took his leave, "Mother of Ott, Firth, since there is nothing to do, let's go first!" ”

"Hmm." The mother of Ultra bowed slightly, and Zoffie led the team members into the sky and returned to the headquarters of the Space Guard.

"Firth, you ......"

"Needless to say, I understand, from now on, I will not complain about the world, nor will I give up on myself, I will sincerely join the Cosmic Guard, not only to fulfill Grandpa Smith's last wish, but also to ......" Firth interrupted the Mother of Otter, paused, and continued, "and to see the good side of this world!" ”

The gratitude of the rescued family of three and the responsibility of Zoffie made Firth discover a trace of warmth in this world for the first time, perhaps as Zofie said, there are still many beautiful things in this world that are worth protecting, and Smith's words made him feel that maybe he didn't think, understand and feel this world with his heart before, so he felt that this world was so hateful. He decided to try to believe and understand the world, hoping to see more of the beauty in this world, so that he would feel that his protection was meaningful.

"It's great that you think so!" Seeing that Firth was finally relieved, the mother of Ott smiled with relief.

"Then, it's time for me to go back and continue practicing my combat skills, Mother Ultra, and take my leave!" Firth said goodbye.

"Well, Firth, come on! It's up to you next month to see how you perform. Mother Ott encouraged.

"I will!" Firth said firmly.

"Boom-" Firth jumped into the sky and flew towards the barren mountain where he had cultivated before.

......

A red ball of light passed through the Earth's atmosphere and landed on a remote coastal beach in Tokyo Bay, and the light gradually dissipated, revealing Taylor's figure.

"There shouldn't be anyone here, right? Well, let's become Kotaro right here! Taylor looked around and found no figure.

Just as he was about to transform, he suddenly noticed a figure in front of him, which showed a black silhouette in the afterglow of the setting sun, and as the figure gradually approached, Taylor felt a familiar smell.

"That's?"

The tall figure, handsome face and bright smile became clearer and clearer as the distance approached, but the black hair was dyed silver white by the ravages of time, and there were more fine wrinkles on the face, it was a radiant old man.

"Hey! Taylor! The old man trotted and beckoned towards Taylor.

Walking up, Tairo looked at the old man in surprise for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have found something, and said with a hint of joy in his tone: "You are, Kotaro-kun!" ”

"Yes, Taylor, I'm Kotaro!" The old man still had the same big smile as he did when he was younger.

"I haven't seen you in years, and you're old!" Looking at the silver hairs on Kotaro's head, Taylor said with emotion.

"Yes, Taylor, you're still as young as you were back then! Sometimes I really envy you Ultraman, who can have a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, but we earthlings only have a few decades of time, and in a blink of an eye, people will be old! Kotaro sighed, his face even more vicissitudes against the wrinkles and silver hair.

"Where have you been all these years?" Shifting the sentimental topic of the years, Taylor asked curiously.

"In the past 40 years, I have traveled to every corner of the earth, and also appreciated the beautiful scenery around the world, and now that my journey around the world has ended, it is time to return to my hometown and spend the rest of my life quietly. Kotaro tells his story, with a big smile on his face all the time.

"I see, it looks like a fun experience! Kotaro-kun! Taylor bowed slightly.

"Kotaro-kun, do you want to merge with me again and become Ultraman Tairo?" Taylor suddenly looked at Kotaro expectantly.
