99: Chapter 99: The Joy of n 99: Chapter 99: The Joy of n “Green Plum” milk tea shop owner together with a few employees, directed and perford their own opening skit, and even prepared quite a few programs.
Initially, Lin Shuang planned to do a live music-accompanied Magic Girl house dance as previously discussed, with Ultraman and a little monster as backup dancers.
It sounds pretty abstract…
But the employees felt it wasn’t enough, they’d co all this way, so they definitely wanted to put on a few more acts.
In the end, several singing and dancing acts were lined up, and all employees took the stage to showcase their talents.
Everyone really is birds of a feather…
no wait, it should be said they sympathize with each other.
Lingng comnted, “Well, let’s just treat it as a free large outdoor KTV, right?”
Lin Shuang was really heartbroken, “Great, so you guys just want to freeload off , huh!”
Su Wan, this proprietress, imdiately switched sides on the spot, “Freeload?
Isn’t the boss still paying us an appearance fee~”
She reached out a hand towards Lin Shuang, “A barbecue al, no credit allowed!”
“Why barbecue again!”
Lingng raised her hand to speak, “Then I want a at burger~”
Amidst the busy task of beating up Yang Deyou, the little monster, Fu Wenxue, who had already donned the “Mother of Ultraman” suit, found a mont to unleash an Ultraman Beam at Lingng, “We have villains among our staff!
Lingng, why lower the standards, just go for the barbecue!”
Lin Shuang questioned, “Does the Mother of Ultraman use Ultraman Beams?”
He also placed his left hand horizontally below his upright right hand, showing an “L” shaped beam stance.
Fu Wenxue asserted, “As the Mother of Ultraman, of course she would!”
Su Wan walked over and tugged at the pigtails of her Mother of Ultraman suit, “Pretty cute, huh?”
Yang Deyou, diligently playing the little monster, spoke in a soft voice, “The Mother of Ultraman’s beam ability is called the Mother’s Destruction Beam.”
Fu Wenxue patted him, “Be a man, speak up~”
Yang Deyou scratched his elbow—he looked a bit silly in the monster suit doing this.
His voice got louder, and he repeated, “The Mother of Ultraman’s beam is called the Mother’s Destruction Beam.”
Lin Shuang genuinely worried about this good buddy’s future dostic standing!
After Yang Deyou finished speaking, he also demonstrated the pose for the Mother’s Destruction Beam, different from Lin Shuang’s.
He extended his right hand straight forward, cupping it with his left hand below.
Fu Wenxue, dressed in the “Mother of Ultraman” suit beside him, also mimicked this pose, “So that’s how it is, Deyou knows a lot.”
Yang Deyou gave a simple smile.
Lin Shuang, maintaining the “L” shape beam stance, turned it towards Yang Deyou to fire, “Does every beam have a different na then?
What is this classic stance of mine called?”
“That’s called the tarim Beam.
When we were kids, Ace Ultraman and Seven Ultraman used this stance.”
Yang Deyou also switched to the “L” shaped firing stance, passionately exchanging beams with Lin Shuang.
“There really is a na for it—wait, how co you, the monster, also learned how to use beams!
This is utterly outrageous!”
Lin Shuang moved his arms up and down, indicating he was increasing his firing power.
And he even added the sound effects “biubiubiu.”
“I know a lot more.”
He changed his stance again, clenching his left fist near his neck and laying his right hand over his left, “This is called the Strium Beam, it’s Taro Ultraman’s finishing move, more than twice as powerful as the tarim Beam.”
Lin Shuang also mimicked his new stance, “Wow, this one is powerful, I’ve watched Taro too!”
The two continued their passionate exchange of beams, while Su Wan and “Mother of Ultraman” Fu Wenxue had already quietly walked away.
Fu Wenxue asked in a low voice, “What are these two guys doing?”
Su Wan smiled and said, “Maybe this is a man’s happiness.”
Lingng added softly, “This is the happiness of the second dinsion!”
Su Wan raised an objection, “Does Ultraman also count as the second dinsion?”
Expert in second dinsions, Lingng explained, “Strictly speaking, probably not, Ultraman is called Tokusatsu, but you can see a lot of Ultraman costu players at every comic convention.”
Lin Shuang and Yang Deyou talked about Ultraman for a while, then everyone gathered to discuss the show.
“The opening will be Wanwan playing the piano, and I’ll play the guitar in a duet with her.”
Lin Shuang got a taste for directing and started briefing the team, “Let’s start with so soothing music, let’s use Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata’s first movent.”
Su Wan, being cooperative, played a segnt on the synthesizer.
Everyone nodded, indicating familiarity.
Lin Shuang continued, “Then the art style changes all of a sudden, and the music becos intense.”
Su Wan imdiately fast-forwarded to the third movent of the Moonlight Sonata, her fingers creating a flurry of motions.
“No no, we should use the Ultraman the song, ‘The Return of the Miracle’, the the song of Ultraman Tiga.”
Lin Shuang then sang a few lines, “Just like the sunlight piercing through the night~Dawn quietly sweeps across the sky~Whose figure shuttles through the cycle of reincarnation~”
Everyone joined in singing with him.
“Have you all heard it?”
“Of course, we all had a childhood!”
“Wasn’t childhood about Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf?”
“Lin Dasha, how old are you?
When we were kids, there were no Pleasant Goat!”
Su Wan laughed while playing the piano, transitioning from “The Return of the Miracle” to “Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.”
Everyone sang and laughed together for a while.
Lin Shuang continued, “Then, in this intense music, our Monster Yang Deyou makes his appearance.”
Lingng widened her eyes slightly, “Isn’t there sothing wrong with a monster appearing during Ultraman’s BGM!”
Head director Lin Shuang dismissed the objection, “Ultraman will make an appearance right after anyway, and with this BGM, Ultraman’s fighting spirit will be even stronger!”
“Mother of Ultraman” Fu Wenxue flicked her twin ponytails, “Right, that’s when I co into the scene and start beating up the little monster.”
“But, the little monster is quite resilient, and the Mother of Ultraman gets into a tough fight.”
Yang Deyou nodded, his honest and simple look seed to indeed have stamina.
Fu Wenxue asked, “Why did it turn into a tough fight?
Yang Deyou doesn’t even fight back.”
Lin Shuang spread his hands, “Isn’t that how Ultraman always is?
First, a fight of three hundred rounds, and only when the red light on the chest starts ‘beeping’ does he finish with the beam.”
Su Wan laughed, “Classic plot.”
“So we need to break the norm!
Our story isn’t like that.”
Lingng played the straight man, “So boss and director, what is our plot like?”
“At this ti, Su Wan and I start playing the the song of Cardcaptor Sakura, ‘Open Your Heart’.”
Su Wan imdiately played along, and Lin Shuang also played with his guitar.
Everyone may not know how to sing this, but they have so impression from childhood.
Lingng, dressed in Tsukino Usagi’s sailor suit, complained, “But I’m clearly wearing a Sailor Moon cosplay costu!”
