In the empty living room, Yurina was wearing a black cherry blossom kimono, quietly kneeling on the round cushion.
The breeze blew down a few cherry blossoms and floated onto the tatami in the room. The light pink cherry blossom hairpins gave off a faint halo in the sunlight. She lowered her head and looked at the radio in front of her, her eyes slowly closing...
Squeak——!
A tall figure in white clothes opened the door and walked in.
Yurina looked back and saw Yuri Takishiro standing behind him, with a gentle smile on her blood-stained face.
"Sister, I'm back." He said softly.
"Why are you covered in blood again?" Yurina stood up quickly, walked in front of him, raised her head and looked at him worriedly, "Are you hurt?"
"No, this is all the blood of corpse beasts. I'm very strong and they can't hurt me."
Yuri Takibai said with a smile.
"Take off your clothes and let me wash them for you." Yurina helped Yuri Takishiro take off her clothes and said with a frown, "This is already the fourth one today... If you continue like this, no matter how good you are,
The body will also be exhausted."
"I'm not tired." Yuuri Takibai gently took off his coat and smiled, "Wherever there is a monster, I will go there to defeat it, and then save everyone... Sister, I am like Ultraman now.
Woolen cloth!"
Hearing this, Yurina burst out laughing, "You are such a grown-up person, why are you still looking at such childish things?"
Yuri Takibai was startled, "But sister... I'm only thirteen years old?"
Yurina's hand paused in the air.
She stared blankly at the blood-stained white dress in her hand, standing there like a sculpture.
"Sister?" Yuuri Takibai's pure eyes looked at Yurina doubtfully.
"Huh?" Yurina came back to her senses and blinked her moist eyes hard, "Oh, I'm going to help you wash your clothes right now..."
She turned around and walked in the other direction.
boom--!
At this moment, a faint roar came from the distant sky again.
Yurina's body trembled.
"... An emergency news break. A black behemoth appeared again in Edogawa District, Tokyo. Two residential buildings collapsed, and the scene was extremely chaotic... This time, can the God in White appear in time to save these people in danger?"
The sound of the radio echoed in the empty living room. The siblings stood beside the sliding door of the courtyard with flying cherry blossoms, and fell into silence at the same time.
After a while, Yuri Takibai finally spoke: "Sister... please give me back your clothes. I'll come back after killing this one, and you can wash it for me."
Otherwise...it will get dirty again."
Yurina's little hands tightly grasped the blood-stained white clothes in her arms. She could no longer bear the grievance in her heart, and tears fell uncontrollably from her cheeks, smearing on the blood stains on the white clothes.
"Why?!" Yurina turned around suddenly and cried with all her strength, "Why do you have to shoulder all these burdens on your body! Why should you be responsible for the lives and lives of these people? You are just ten
Three years old! It’s obvious that the world has never treated you well, so why do you have to do this?
At the age of thirteen, just watch special feature films at home and be a child who fantasizes about becoming a hero all day long...
Only a fool would really want to be a hero!"
Looking at Yurina with tears streaming down her face, Yurina Takashiro froze on the spot.
After being silent for a long time, he stepped forward and walked to Yurina who was crying. He slowly squatted down and a warm smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
"I'm not an idiot, sister, there are no idiots in our Yuri family." He said softly,
"Brother Amemiya was once the person in the world who hated this decadent country the most and wanted to completely destroy it... But you know why he is now in desperate situation, looking for a way to continue this nation alone.
Method?"
Yurina shook her head blankly.
"What Amamiya-nii hates is the divine power, the old ideas and society that have been corroded to the point of decay by the divine power...not people.
Any human group is complex. Some of them may be terminally ill and cannot be saved, but there must still be some people who may still be changed. What they lack is a correct environment.
In this 'human circle', there are too few people who can break away from the old prison and awaken themselves, and among them, those who have the power to change everything are even rarer.
All I know is Amemiya-nii, my father, my sister, and me...
When a crisis comes, those of us who have awakened and have the power can either choose to protect ourselves wisely and become deserters in this world, or... we must stand up and be the pioneers to turn the tide.
Sister, I don’t want to be a deserter.
Maybe we won't be understood by others, maybe this journey will be very bumpy and difficult, but we want to give this country a possibility... a possibility to get back on track.
This is what Amemiya-nii and I are doing."
Looking at Yuuri Takibai's pure and serious eyes, Yurina froze on the spot.
She never thought that her simple, game-loving otaku brother would have such profound thoughts.
Sure enough, there are no idiots in Yurina's family... In front of him, Yurina felt that she was the idiot.
Yuuri Takashiro stretched out her hand, gently brushed away the tears from the corner of Yurina's eyes, and smiled like a big boy, "Besides, for a child like me to be a hero, it is the dream of many of my peers.
In the world of children, there are not so many conflicts of interest and intrigues. We just want to be heroes, that's all.
Even if there is only a slight possibility, I want to carry these children’s wishes and become their light.”
Yuuri Takibai stretched out her hand and pointed at the blood-stained white clothes in Yurina's arms:
"Sister, can you return my Ultraman leather case to me?"
After hearing this, Yurina, who had stopped crying, couldn't help but laugh again.
She pursed her lips slightly and returned the white clothes in her arms to Yuri Takibai, her expression more serious than ever before, "No matter what happens, you must protect yourself, you know?"
"I understand, sister, I will be back soon."
Yurina Takashiro stood up from the ground, waved to Yurina with a smile, turned around and walked towards the door.
He put on the blood-stained white clothes, and the drifting cherry blossoms were flying in the wind. This tall boy, who was only thirteen years old, used his own hands to carve out a path called hope among the thorns for tens of millions of lives.
the way.
His figure flickered and disappeared from where he was.
Yurina stared silently in the direction he left for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, and shouted to the door:
"Takuya."
A young man stood up and bowed respectfully to Yurina, "Master of the family."
"Call all the members of the Kaze Matsuri family in Tokyo and follow me out in ten minutes."
"Going out? Master, there is a lot of chaos outside. What should we do?"
