The mingling of glasses and cups brings about lively conversation and laughter, the dishes are messy, and what is left behind is laughter.
The children sat around the three Ultramen, listening to Moro Hoshizumi telling adventure stories in different universes, and listening to Musashi telling about the harmonious planet Juran. Everything made the children yearn for it, and the food in front of them was not attractive.
When they are strong enough, they all imagine themselves as Ultraman in their minds, traveling in the universe and walking in the galaxy...
This celebration, which was accompanied by a sumptuous dinner, lasted until late at night. People dispersed in twos and threes, returned to their rooms with full of joy, turned off the lights, and looked forward to the future life with their longing and expectation.
With a smile, enter the dreamland.
The lights went out one after another, and the base that had been noisy for several hours gradually returned to calm, and the night returned to its original dark appearance.
Creak!
Chiba Cheng walked out of the room in the dark, closed the door gently, and walked along the path in front of the room towards the outside of the base.
Everything was silent except for the footsteps of "Sand! Sand!" lingering beside the path, echoing in this silent night and being heard by the stars.
"Are you... leaving?" A familiar voice sounded from the right, breaking the silence and making Chiba Cheng stop. He did not turn his head to look over there, but just stood there and nodded lightly.
: "Yeah!"
"Then... why did you leave without saying a word? Even if you say 'I'm leaving' to us..." Risa tried hard to speak calmer, but she couldn't restrain her sincerity.
Inner trembling.
Even when he was living in the sewer, there was no such sad sound. Chiba Makoto couldn't help turning his head, looking at Risa sitting on the dim swing with the guitar in her arms, and sighed softly,
Said: "I...I don't like separation very much, so..."
"So you want to leave quietly alone?" Risa wanted to smile. She didn't want to leave sadness at this last moment. She should...should...leave him her most beautiful smile.
But after trying hard for a long time, she couldn't move the muscles on her face to show even a forced smile. Instead, her fingers lost their color and became extremely pale due to the hard grip on the guitar.
"At least it allows me... to say 'thank you', thank you for giving us hope to live, thank you for giving us the courage to live, thank you for giving us a future to live..." Risa said
As her voice became more and more trembling, she felt the moisture slowly flowing down her cheeks. She quickly lowered her head, letting her hair cover her face, and gritted her teeth to prevent herself from whimpering. My shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and drops of water fell on the guitar in my arms, rolling slowly on it, reflecting the stars in the sky, within reach but out of reach.
Even though he knew that they were destined to be separated when they first met, he told himself over and over again that he did not belong to him and that there were still people waiting for him to return.
The only thing she can leave behind is the most beautiful memories, so she puts on the best clothes, the most beautiful makeup, and the best smile, and then brings an end to this illusory dream.
I thought I was ready for everything and felt that I could face the moment of separation, at least I could say goodbye with a smile, even if I had to keep the sadness to myself.
But...
But when I think about it, we will see each other again forever, and there will never be another day, let alone a chance to meet again. All preparations are shattered by this despairing distance.
The buzzing of insects stopped at some point, leaving only the suppressed crying and the intermittent sound of the strings accidentally touched by trembling fingers, as if they were playing a broken movement called the heart. p>
Chiba Cheng stood silently and listened, just like this deep night. After Risa calmed down a little, she said: "I'm sorry!"
Risa shook her head, her long hair swaying, sniffed, raised her head, let the starlight reflect two faint Milky Ways on her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "No one is right, why bother?
Apologize? I really want to know how lucky I am to meet you so early."
When Risa said the second half of the sentence, her voice was like a mosquito, and her eyes lost focus. She stared blankly at the stars in the sky. Every star in front of her eyes was so far away that she couldn't reach it in this life, but the place he was about to go back to was more beautiful than these stars.
Countless times further away.
When she thought about this, Risa felt as if her heart was being grasped by an invisible big hand, and she felt heart-wrenching pain. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look again, let alone think about it anymore. Her fingers moved on the guitar, and it moved.
These cold strings: "I have agreed to play it for you when you come back."
What answered her was that very familiar voice that sounded very gentle: "I'm listening."
Risa sat on the swing, lowered her head, focusing all her attention on the guitar in her hand, not looking at other places; biting her lip, trying not to make any sound.
Syllables floated out from the guitar one after another, converging into smooth music in the night sky, echoing between heaven and earth, knocking on doors one after another, and letting people come out one after another, stand in the distance, and listen.
Playing this sad music.
Risa has repeated this sheet of music countless times in the past few months, but now it is so unfamiliar. She always feels that every time a note comes out of the guitar in her hand, the sheet music will be shorter by one minute. Until the last one
After the notes float out, the score will disappear into thin air and will never be seen again.
Her hands began to tremble unconsciously, and her heart trembled, as if to prevent her from finishing the last verse, so that the parting moment could be delayed a little later.
......
"It sounds great," Chiba Cheng looked at Risa with a smile on his face, stepped back step by step, and said in the loudest voice with a smile: "I am really happy to meet you all, I will
I will always remember you."
"I...I..." Risa could no longer bear the sadness in her heart. She was trembling and speechless. A pair of warm hands placed on her shoulders and held her in her arms.
Anna, who was holding her sister, had red eyes, and said to Chiba Makoto: "We will definitely be able to meet again."
"Yes! I will definitely do it. We will meet again in the future." Qianye Cheng nodded vigorously, and his body emitted a golden light, which was particularly bright in this dark night, turning into a golden beam of light that reached the sky and the earth, breaking through the darkness.
Standing between heaven and earth, the golden light quickly converged and condensed into Diga's huge body, standing proudly under the stars.
In a daze, Risa's mind recalled that night a few months ago. It was the same way. The light flew away from the base and never came back.
