Ono's voice was still echoing in her ears. Ling didn't know if what he said was right or not, but she believed that even if there really was a magic ship that could bring happiness, it would definitely not be the super beast in front of her.
The super beast will not bring happiness. It is not a wish-making machine. Even the purest wishes will be distorted into despair that destroys everything.
Moreover, even if you claim to be an "experienced person", you have no right to decide what children should do.
Everyone is like this. They have never learned how to be a child, and are born into this world without their own consent.
Then you have to complete the journey of a lifetime.
In the beginning, we knew nothing about the world, so it was natural for children to be afraid and confused, right?
Be it naughty or rebellious, isn't it a kind of temptation to the world to protect a heart that is more vulnerable?
After all, the world is not always so beautiful and perfect. So, they just try hard to accept the world in their own way, and then hope to be accepted by the world.
After all, parents as adults may not always be reliable.
Because no one has ever learned how to be a parent before becoming a parent. There are no training courses and no exams required.
Sometimes, we become parents without any preparation.
They were equally confused and at a loss.
The pressure from work and life, they always have too many reasons to avoid responsibility.
Now, the lack of responsibility is placed on a balloon ship.
"But even if Mom and Dad are somewhat unqualified, it shouldn't be Chao Beast who should fill in this puzzle! Besides, I believe they will always love us."
She still clearly remembers that on the plane that disintegrated in the air, her parents held her tightly at the moment of destruction.
Although that action couldn't actually protect her. But sometimes, Ling also felt that if Gaia hadn't chosen her as a human body, it would actually be nice for the family to be reunited at that time.
If lovers disappear together, then no one will have to endure the pain of loss.
She is loved, loved with her life.
The lightsaber from the sea stretched forward and pierced the vital part of the super beast that had already been injured by the Eagle.
The Ultra Beast let out its final scream.
Colorful things flew out from the wound. Looking closely, they were balloons, lots of balloons.
“Is that—is that the emotion being sucked out of the kids?”
colorful.
Red of anger, green of hope, orange of happiness, black of fear, and countless balloons.
These balloons flew into the sky of Meta's domain, which was as gorgeous as the aurora. They drifted in this world that had buried countless civilizations and was devoid of any vitality.
They don't belong here! They should go where they belong.
Focusing the light on her head, Gaia shot out a photon ice blade, calling it 'ice', but in fact it was extremely hot. Using light as a blade, she broke through all the darkness.
The super beast could no longer bear it, and it burst like a punctured balloon with a loud bang in an instant. Its explosion was without fire or smoke, but colorful and fluttering.
"Won."
"Well, Gaia is always so reliable."
The aurora sky gradually dissipated and returned to the blue sky. The balloons also flew into the blue sky and flew to their former owners.
The well-behaved children will become naughty again. Will those parents be disappointed? Who knows.
Gaia's figure faded into the air, as if she had never existed.
Ono Ryoto and Doizo seemed a little dazed, as if they had just had a very long dream.
"Xiao Ye, why is your beard so sloppy!"
"Ah? You are the one. You stink. Haven't taken a shower in a month?"
"Just like you washed it."
Both of them had a sour smell on their bodies, and no one wanted to laugh at the other, so they just smiled at each other.
"I had a dream that we were pilots of a balloon ship."
"Me too. It's pretty cool actually. How about we go work at the amusement park together next time? I really like the smiles of those little guys."
"That's fine, but let's go home now."
"Well, go home."
There are people waiting for them there. Even if they don't live up to expectations and can't do anything well, their families will always tolerate them.
Balloon Monster is just a dream for many people. A dream that is not too scary, but bizarre enough.
There was another snowfall in late January, and then the weather gradually warmed up.
"Is spring coming soon?"
"Well, it's the season when everything comes back to life. So it's going to be busy again."
The chorus competition will be held next week, and Director Asaka has also informed us that the remaining episodes will start filming. The plot of Star Card is not long, less than 20 episodes, and it is expected to be completed before the summer is over.
Reiya and Tomoyo have joined the crew since last summer, and it has been more than half a year now.
“I always feel a little reluctant that it’s over.”
"Ah? Are you also the investor who forced the director to continue filming?"
"That's not the case." Tomoyo said with her delicate nose sticking out, "I've just gotten used to filming TV shows with Reiya and Sakura."
"Yeah, me too. Even if Cardcaptor ends, we can still make other TV series."
"Other TV shows?"
In fact, Director Asaka had come to Lingye before to solicit investment for the new script.
Although director Asaka is currently in great demand and there are many companies willing to become investors in the new script, he still hopes that Oshima can become the financial sponsor of the new script.
In particular, the Oshima Group recently registered the Oshima Entertainment Company, which is considered to be its official entry into the entertainment industry.
"The new script is called "Wings Chronicles"."
"What a weird name."
"I think so too, but if Tomoyo participates, she will be the princess of Shirahito Castle."
"Princess? What about Lingye?"
"The most powerful magician in the world."
He is just a supporting character, and is set to be stronger than Fayi, one of the four main characters.
It is used to back up the script writer. Once the script is written badly, and the protagonist creates an enemy that is too strong, and it is impossible for the protagonist to defeat it, and the plot cannot be recovered, it is used to create a plot-based kill for the enemy.
So she rarely appears in the plot, and is set as the strongest magician, or the magic goddess. In reality, like Princess Chiyo, she is just a supporting role who occasionally appears.
The strongest magician, they are a perfect match, Chise sincerely thinks so. Looking at the towering laurel trees and the huge Moon Palace in front of her, who can say that she is not the strongest?
"Where's Sakura?"
"She's also a princess, and she's the protagonist. This is a story about four protagonists traveling around the world."
The director didn't explain the plot in detail, and Ling only knew this much.
"Traveling around the world? That must be a very warm and happy story, right?"
"Yes."
I remember Director Asaka said that it was a "healing" story, is that what she meant? The four of them joined hands and experienced the customs and cultures of all over the world. In Ling's opinion, this is probably the story.
The two sat in a sea of white jasmine flowers, looking at the endless Moon Lake in the distance that flowed to who knows where.
"Hey, Reiya."
"Ok?"
"Can't Sakura be here?"
Ling was silent for a while. Compared to Tomoyo, she and Sakura had only known each other for a few months. But that was not the question.
The real question is whether Gaia's identity can be made known to others.
The Land of Light does not allow the identities of the Ultra Warriors to be known to the people on Earth because when humans know that Ultraman is right next to them, it will create a gap.
Watching from a distance is like worshipping a god. But if you live with them day and night, without any distance, negative emotions will grow. Greed for power, fear of alien civilizations. Respect turns into fear and caution.
A statue of God is only a statue of God if you worship it from afar.
The same is true for Gaia, even though she was born on Earth.
Sakura thinks she is a real magical girl, that's fine, but if she thinks she is Ultraman, a god, can they still get along like this?
When I watched superhero stories before, I always hoped to see their identities revealed, which I thought would be a great ending. But in fact, the moment of the reveal usually means the arrival of the finale.
She didn't want to test Sakura, so she always avoided her.
"But, this doesn't seem fair to Sakura."
Tomoyo said this, even though they were good friends, it felt like she was deliberately excluding Sakura.
"It would be nice if we could have a picnic here together."
With only two people in this endless sea of flowers, it still feels a bit empty.
"The winter snow is waiting for spring. The seeds are waiting for the morning sun."
Listening to Lingye singing that song again, Zhishi quietly closed her eyes. The two of them sat back to back in the sea of flowers.
Maybe this song was created for those children whose dreams were devoured by super beasts?
Fortunately, their families love them.
Even if they are no longer together, even if they are worlds apart, at least they once loved each other, and that love was frozen in time as eternal.
[My childhood dream gave me a pair of wings. From my small hometown, I flew to the square in the sky, just like the stars.]
That day, the balloons flying all over the sky were so colorful and gorgeous as the starry sky.
One day, all children will leave their homes and go to places far away. In fact, that day is not far away. Looking back, time is fleeting, just like it will be stolen if it is not taken care of properly.
Before that, what they need is their parents' care and a little more companionship and patience, just a little bit.
This kind of care and patience can never be replaced by anything, whether it is a balloon or a boat.
