In the empty living room, Yurina, wearing a black kimono with cherry blossoms, knelt quietly on a round cushion.
The breeze blew a few cherry blossoms down and floated onto the tatami in the house. The light pink cherry blossom hairpin glowed faintly in the sun. She lowered her head and looked at the radio in front of her, her eyes slowly closing...
Squeak——!
A tall figure in white opened the door and walked in.
Yurina looked back and saw Yuri Takishiro standing behind him, a gentle smile on his bloodstained 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 okay?"
"No, this is all the blood of the dead beasts. I'm very strong and they can't hurt me."
Yuuri Takishiro said with a smile.
"Take off your clothes, I'll help you wash them." Yurina frowned as she helped Yuri Takishiro take off his coat, "This is already the fourth one today... If you keep going like this, no matter how powerful you are, your body will be exhausted."
"I'm not tired." Yuri Takishiro gently took off her coat and said with a smile, "Wherever a monster appears, I will go there to defeat it and then save everyone... Sister, I'm like Ultraman now!"
Hearing this, Yurina burst out laughing, "You're already so old, why are you still watching such childish things?"
Yuuri Takishiro was stunned, "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 Takishiro looked at Yurina with confusion in his pure eyes.
"Hmm?" Yurina came back to her senses and blinked her wet eyes hard, "Oh, I'll go help you wash your clothes 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.
"...I'm interrupting with an urgent news story. A black monster has appeared again in Edogawa District, Tokyo. Two residential buildings have collapsed. The scene is in great chaos... Can the God in White appear in time this time to save these people in distress?"
The sound of the radio echoed in the empty living room. The brother and sister stood by the sliding door of the courtyard where cherry blossoms were dancing, and fell into silence at the same time.
After a while, Yuri Takishiro finally spoke: "Sister... give me back my clothes. I'll come back after I kill this one and you can help me wash them.
Otherwise...it will get dirty again."
Yurina's small hands tightly grasped the bloodstained white shirt in her arms, unable to hold back the grievance in her heart any longer, tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably, spreading on the bloodstains on the white shirt.
"Why?!" Yurina turned around suddenly, using all her strength to cry out, "Why do you have to shoulder all these burdens! Why are you responsible for the lives of these people? You are only thirteen years old! The world has never treated you well, why do you have to do this?
At the age of thirteen, I should just stay at home and watch special effects movies, and be a kid who fantasizes about becoming a hero all day long...
Only a fool would really want to be a hero! "
Looking at Yurina in tears in front of him, Yuri Takishiro stood there in a daze.
After a long silence, he took a step forward and walked up to the sobbing Yurina, slowly squatted down, and a warm smile appeared on his blood-stained face.
"I'm not stupid, sister. There are no stupid people in our Yuli family." He said softly.
"Brother Amamiya was once the person in the world who hated this corrupt country the most and wanted to destroy it completely... But do you know why he is now in a desperate situation, searching for a way to keep this nation going alone?"
Yurina shook her head in confusion.
“Brother Amamiya hates theocracy, the old ideas and society that have been corrupted by theocracy… not people.
Any human group is complex. Some of them may be terminally ill and beyond cure, but there must be some who still have the possibility of being changed. All they lack is a correct environment.
In this "circle of people", there are too few people who can break free from the old cage and awaken themselves, and among them, those who have the powerful force to change all this are even rarer.
All I know is Brother Amamiya, my father, my sister, and me...
When the crisis comes, those of us who have awakened and possess power can either choose to protect ourselves and become deserters of this world, or... stand up and become the pioneers who turn the tide.
Sister, I don't want to be a deserter.
Maybe we won't be understood, maybe the road 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 Amamiya and I are doing.”
Looking at Yuri Takishiro's pure and serious eyes, Yurina froze in place.
She had never imagined that her simple, game-loving otaku brother could have such profound thoughts.
As expected, there are no fools in Yuri's family... In front of him, Yuri felt that she was the fool.
Yuri Takishiro reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Yurina's eyes, then smiled like a big boy, "Besides, being a hero like me 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 the wishes of these children and be their light."
Yuri Takishiro stretched out his hand and pointed at the bloodstained white clothes in Yurina's arms:
"Sister, can you give me back my Ultraman suit?"
Hearing this, Yurina, who had already stopped crying, couldn't help laughing again.
She pursed her lips slightly and returned the white clothes in her arms to Yuri Takishiro, looking more serious than ever before, "No matter what happens, you must protect yourself, understand?"
"Got it, sis. I'll be back soon."
Yuri Takishiro stood up from the ground, waved to Yurina with a smile, turned around and walked out the door.
He put on the bloodstained white robe, and the falling cherry blossoms danced in the wind. This tall boy, who was only thirteen years old, used his own hands to open up a road called hope among the thorns for tens of millions of lives.
His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Yurina stared at the direction he left in silence for a long time, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she shouted to the outside of the door:
"Takuya."
A young man stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Yurina, "Master."
"Call all the members of the Kazematsuri family in Tokyo, and follow me out in ten minutes."
"Going out? Master, it's very chaotic outside now, what are we going to do?"
"Go... enforce the law on behalf of God."
