[“——Ha, hahahaha… How ridiculous, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard! You have been using this excuse to deceive the residents for ten years, saying every year that he will come back. Can he still jump out of the ground? He is a big liar! If you have the guts, make him jump out of the ground right now. If he jumps out, I will call him grandpa!”]
[“Grandpa. Grandpa Actor, Grandpa Lewis, Grandpa City Lord…”]
[“Grandpa, you’re finally back. If I had called you grandpa, you would have come back. I would have called you every day. Grandpa…”]
…
[“Grandpa, Grandpa…”]
【"It doesn't matter."】
[“For someone like me, there is no ending.”]
[“I don’t think that my affection for you is the product of any skill. I have never regretted meeting you in District 11 that day, Grandpa. That was the luckiest thing in my not-so-good life.”]
[“Your persistence and yearning for Haruhi, everything you have done for the ruined world… all of them fascinate me. I can’t help but dislike you.”]
[“I just have some, some…”]
[“…I’m sorry to see you.”]
…
It felt like a piece of flesh was being torn from his heart. Su Mingan's fingers trembled unconsciously. A black spot of pain spread from the tip of his heart.
Until the end, Noah did not change the name. He kept calling the man he was afraid of losing "Grandpa" until the last second of his life.
He wanted to see Su Mingan more. They could walk freely on the streets, welcome a clean city, plant flowers in peacetime, and patrol the edge of the world on motorcycles.
On that day, the water was clear, and white birds flew across the blue sky, their feathers scattered naturally, skimming the surface of the lake.
By then, Noah would certainly solemnly call him "City Lord" or "Chief", because the war was over, he was no longer afraid of losing him, and he didn't have to call him "Grandpa".
But in the end,
…and it still ends with “Grandpa”.
He hugged Su Mingan tightly, and the passionate embrace like fire froze a satisfied smile on his face.
The ninja died because of his belief, and Shiratori finally returned to Kasuga.
After a moment, those eyes, as clear blue as the ocean, dried up.
What was finally reflected in the pupils was a constructed virtual spring and non-existent sunflowers.
…
【Spring melts into his pupils. 】
【I passed away with his life and walked with his soul. 】
…
——The white bird dies with spring.
…
Su Mingan hugged the young man's body which was gradually losing its temperature.
At the last moment, even the blond young man's tears were burning hot, so hot that his palms trembled. He pursed his lips and suppressed the sound deep in his throat.
Everyone who is good to him, who is kind to him, who is important to him, who can stir up waves in his heart, who never give up for the freedom of mankind, all...
“…”
A slight sound came from his throat, but he quickly suppressed it by swallowing his saliva. A hint of crimson appeared at the corners of his eyes, which was quickly covered by his black hair.
It was as if a ray of sunshine appeared among the thick clouds.
The warm yellow light outside the door shone on Su Mingan's shoulders, illuminating the blond young man with his eyes closed. His warm hair was like sunshine.
The blond young man leaned half of his head on Su Mingan's right shoulder, his eyebrows drooped, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was asleep.
Su Mingan slowly stood up and picked up Noah's blood-stained body. "Tick-tick-tick--" The huge amount of bleeding dyed his trousers red. Noah was seriously injured, and the big holes in the wounds were shocking to see.
Despite such great pain, he actually smiled and endured it until the last second.
Su Mingan leaned him against the edge of the wall, and pushed the young man under the warm yellow light, just like... bathing in bright sunshine.
The blond young man leaned against the wall with his head slightly lowered. Half of his face was immersed in golden color, and even the sunlight shining on his eyelids seemed almost transparent.
He was leaning against the warm light, like a golden sunflower, with his eyes closed and a few strands of golden hair falling on his cheeks. His expression was peaceful and calm.
It was as if all the pain in my life had disappeared.
"Noah, actually you are the sunshine..." Su Mingan said in a low voice while looking at this scene.
Why chase the sunshine?
…
[Grandpa, I promise to stand by your side until the last second of my life.]
【I will never give up on you. 】
【I will always love your soul, no matter if something is controlling me. 】
[This kind of love that makes you feel guilty has nothing to do with you. ]
【……】
【grandfather. 】
【So beautiful...】
【spring……】
…
In the warm light, there seemed to be a small, illusory figure.
The young man with blond hair embraced the golden sunflowers in his arms. His beautiful blond hair was blown by the wind and flowed slowly like liquid gold. His white robe was lifted high behind him, dispersing gracefully like the wings of an angel. He put his lips close to the colorful spots and let a few colors swirl and fall into his blue pupils.
After a moment, he turned around with a smile and called out "Grandpa" like a spoiled golden retriever. Soon, he ran into the bright sunshine and disappeared.
The warm wind blew his golden hair, and his back looked so free.
…
——He has endured too much pain in this world and can finally leave.
…
“Ding Dong!”
[You have achieved the ending of (Noah) character: Happy Ending Kasuga Shiratori]
[(Spring White Bird):
"No need to trace where I am going, no need to sing funeral songs for me."
“I just jumped out of time and became part of the world.”
"From now on - the white bird on the street lamp is me, the sunshine in the sky is me. The sunflowers in the flowerbed are me, the torches that never go out day and night are me. The fireflies in the daytime are me, the stars in the night are me. The candies in the children's hands are me, and the smiles on their faces are me."
"If you look up one day and see a flock of white birds returning home."
"Please call me loudly."
“Maybe, I am among them. Flying towards my hometown with longing.”
"——And the white feather falling towards you is my blessing for your life."
"I only wish you."
“Spring flowers are in full bloom.”
"A lifetime of peace."
