[Ultraman] Lonely Heart

Resign.

Before this war started, Sylvia had heard that the Baxter Stars had declared war on M78 for the life-solidifying technology, and that was what Hikari had spent many years developing successfully.If it is said that as the chief of the Space Science and Technology Bureau, he should resign because of the leakage of this kind of information to the land of light, it sounds like a reasonable thing.

But Sylvia understood that was not the case.

"You know it's not your fault."

Sylvia remembered that she had received the news of the death of the students at the Otto Airport, and besides being filled with remorse, she also had a glimpse of Hikali's expression at that time.At that time, she was immersed in her own grief and didn't feel it. Looking back now, she suddenly realized that his eyes were clearly the same as her own but diametrically opposed to despair, doubt and hatred towards herself amidst hatred, It is the deep helplessness and guilt of looking at those souls who can no longer return.

"You...you obviously didn't do anything."

The carelessness that had been barely maintained from the moment he stepped off the battlefield finally peeled off a little bit, revealing the scarred inside.She sat up from the sofa and looked straight at Hikari's face, with a tremor in her voice:

"You know it, it's not your fault, you don't need to—"

"Sylvia."

The expression finally collapsed for a moment, as if the ice surface that had been calm all year round finally cracked.He closed his eyes and gestured to stop here, looking tired and lonely.

"Aren't you the same?"

Hikari asked rhetorically, like a sharp sword piercing straight into the weakest part of her heart: "I know it's not my fault, but I'm still punishing myself with someone else's death."

And since she can't even convince herself, how can she persuade him to give up the long-awaited desire to let go, to give up that too sensitive and slender guilty heart?

"We really don't need this, Sylvia."

However, there are some things that you don't need to do, so you don't have to do them.

So at the end of that day, they looked at each other silently under the virtual stars shrouded in the night, and only a long silence can ferment between each other.Before dawn, Hikari made a promise to Sylvia that even if the trip was long and long, he would definitely leave a thread that bound him in his homeland and return again.

However, she still has a grudge in her heart, which is hard to let go.

Because it is not only Hikari who wants to find an answer from the vast universe, but also herself, who wants to solve the mystery of fate in the long river of time, and find the way that can support her to go on again.

"Sylvia?"

Because of Shikali's matter, she was in a daze for several days. In the end, even Sai Luo saw her distraught, and took her hand and shook it.Although it was difficult to see any obvious emotions on the face of a weather-beaten Ultra warrior, his instinct told him that the other party's current mood was indeed different from usual:

"Is something wrong, are you unhappy?"

"……I'm okay."

I don't know how to tell a simple child about these nonsense things that are constantly cut and jumbled. Sylvia was silent for a while, and finally shook her head and smiled at him:

"I have nothing to be unhappy about."

But, there is nothing to be happy about.

When Hikari left the Kingdom of Light, neither Sophie nor Silvia would send him off, as if he had made up his mind to embark on this destined and unusual journey alone.Sylvia didn't intend to please him, and didn't ask him where he was going. Anyway, the universe is so big, there is always a place he wants to go. There is still a day to see each other again, and the years are long for the Giant of Light My life span is just a drop in the ocean, and it seems unnecessary to be too immersed in the sadness of parting.

However, understanding it intellectually and accepting it emotionally is another matter.

After all, they are people who have been side by side all the way and have never been separated.

There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, but I can't clarify them one by one at this moment.Sylvia tried to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, looked down at the child who was looking at her worriedly, and lowered her voice as much as possible.

"I'm really fine," she said slowly, "Someone recommended me a very interesting place, do you want to go and see it?"

Sai Luo stared at her for a long time and nodded reluctantly.

The universe experience hall is the latest project developed by the Science and Technology Bureau. In Sylvia's words, it is probably something that the group of blue races fiddled with when they have nothing to do. Residents of the Kingdom of Light far away have a fresh look.She has been to most of them when she was in the Space Guard, so there is nothing particularly surprising now, but it should be quite suitable for children like Sai Luo to join in the fun and broaden their horizons.

However, the boy didn't seem to show much joy.

Guessing that he should have affected the other party's good mood, Sylvia rarely felt a little sorry.She chose before visiting the guide, picked a virtual planet that looked more lively, and walked in with Sai Luo, trying to make up for her little mistake.

"...Because the guard team has been paying attention to the earth for a long time, and has also sent many Ultra fighters, so they have a deeper understanding of this planet than other places."

Leading the boy on the bustling streets, introducing him to the customs of the earth.Sylvia looked around at the surrounding street scenes, and found that this experience hall is indeed a masterpiece of the Science and Technology Bureau. The environment is simulated very realistically, and there are even various shops specially built to attract visitors to experience consumption:

"There are four seasons on this planet, it will rain and it will snow, and it breeds all kinds of strange creatures. Human beings are the absolute masters here. They build cities and gather together to live. Many members of the security team have gone to this planet. The planet helps them fight, and for the convenience of activities, they will choose to be one with suitable human beings, and basically get a response smoothly-of course, I think there are probably some human bodies who are unwilling to fight together, but they are lucky enough not to meet them... ..."

Many years later, when Sai Luo thinks about this day again, he will find that if he really heard what Sylvia said, he will definitely not fall so hard on Dahewang that he becomes an unrememberable black man. history.But unfortunately, from the moment he walked into the Earth Experience Hall, he didn't seriously speak to Sylvia, and even gave her a chance to finish, so he stopped, stood where he was and looked up at the other party.

"If you're really upset, you don't have to force it."

He looked at their intertwined hands, and his voice was a little muffled: "I don't have to have someone to accompany me—"

Before he finished speaking, a melodious bell sounded suddenly under the blue sky, interrupting his grievance.The bell doesn't know where it starts or ends, like the rain that can't be grasped, the wind that can't be grasped, even though it is far away, it is still uncertain, like the footsteps of a traveler, it will never stop for anyone.

They were taken aback at the same time.And Sylvia held Sai Luo's hand tightly, with an expression of sadness and joy, as if he could see the Otto Airport at this time, and the lake-blue back finally stepped into the vast universe, abandoning the past and not knowing the future.

"What's that?" Feeling her trance, Sai Luo shook her hand.

"...It is the voice of Kingdom of Light saying goodbye to those who have traveled far."

Sylvia was silent for a while, and answered softly: "Someone has just left their homeland and embarked on a long journey."

The things contained in her tone are so complicated that even Sai Luo can hardly hear it.So he thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded vigorously. At the same time, he used some strength to pull Sylvia onto the bench on the side of the street for people to rest.

"Is that your friend?" He felt that his guess should be right: "Are you unhappy because he left?"

"I'm not unhappy."

All emotions have collapsed and restarted overnight. I have been doing self-construction for a long time. It is really not sad at this time, but at most I am a little emotional.Sylvia smiled helplessly, and for a moment didn't know how to explain to the other party so that the child could really understand that this was just the aftertaste left after the tsunami.

And Sai Luo obviously didn't trust her at all.

"You're lying, Sylvia!"

He is still young enough to distinguish all emotions by happiness and unhappiness. Looking at the confusion on the other person's face these days, the young man should feel that this person is cheating on him:

"The teacher said that it is wrong to deceive people like this!"

His volume increased a little, and then he didn't know what to think of, flattened his mouth, lowered it again, hugged her leg and lay on her lap.

"Just say it if you're not happy, I can comfort you."

Sai Luo sternly tried to make a serious and dignified expression.And Sylvia wanted to laugh a little now, but it wasn't easy to discourage the child's enthusiasm, so she could only nod her head: "How do you comfort me?"

"Well, this..."

Obviously using limited language and experience to contemplate a solution, Sai Luo frowned and moaned for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence under the encouraging eyes of the other party:

"Actually, it's okay to leave, it'll be fine after you get used to it."

Without waiting for Sylvia to say anything, he raised his hand in distress, trying to convince the other party with his own experience.

"For example, I haven't seen my father, so I guess he's gone. But look at me, don't I have a very happy life?"

Sylvia: "..."

This is so true.

She didn't know for a moment whether to be moved by the child's sincere comfort, or to explain to him that his father really didn't die.

Saner, are you moved?
