It was Fu Ning; she gave Xiao Binai a big bear hug, instantly embracing her.
Hina felt dizzy, but her body, which had been cold from being soaked by the rain, suddenly felt warm.
So this is what it feels like to be hugged.
What a strange feeling.
"Let's go, Hina, let's go together!"
Before Xiaobinai could make a decision, Fu Ning took her hand and they ran together toward Sheila.
Little Hina moved slowly, making only a soft sound as she was being led along.
"Hmm... let's go together."
Little Bina didn't know what Sheila was, nor did she know why Funing had led her to the monster.
Are they going to their deaths?
But Hina still went with Funing.
do not know why.
Perhaps it was because that hug was so warm.
Ultraman Ace and Ultraman Tiga merely watched Sheila warily and did not launch another attack.
Sheila just cried, looking at the two Ultramen... or at the children behind the two Ultramen.
Heavy rain, howling, and wailing.
And... the children's cries.
"Hila—!"
The children braved the heavy rain and ran towards Sheila through the muddy ground.
Upon seeing this, the two Ultramen immediately stood on either side of the child to prevent the monster from suddenly launching an attack.
"Sila! Is that you? It's me, Shisa!"
Hisa ran in front, waving to Heila as she went.
Sheila saw the children and Sheisa running towards her, continuing to struggle and cry.
Then he walked toward the children.
Seeing that Sheila was about to approach the children, the two Ultramen immediately went on guard to prevent Sheila from hurting them.
Shisa and the children suddenly ran to Ultraman's feet and stopped the two Ultramen from moving.
"Don't hurt Sheila, Ultraman!"
"Sheila isn't a bad monster, please!"
The children, with their innocent hearts, believed in Sheila, so they stood in front of Ultraman, wanting to protect her.
Upon seeing this, Tiga and Eddie exchanged a glance, then nodded to the children.
Instead of adopting an aggressive stance, he stepped forward, supported Sheila, and led her to the children.
Sheila came to the child and finally stopped crying.
She collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
Shisa stepped forward and gently stroked the beak of Shira, who was lying on the ground.
“Sila…how did you become like this…Sila.”
"Chirp chirp..."
Sheila answered Shisa weakly.
The voice was low and filled with sorrow.
More children ran to Sheila and hugged her.
They all felt incredibly sorry for Sheila.
That lively white bird has turned into this.
It turned into a monster.
“Hila…”
Shisa looked up at Shilana's eyes, which were filled with bloody tears, and Shisa's own eyes also turned red.
From those eyes, Shisa understood Sheila's purpose.
"Hila, you want to take us away from here, right?"
Sheila responded softly, then turned her head and nuzzled Sheisa with her huge beak.
Sheila has turned into a monster and wants to approach the children, not to harm them, but to take them away.
Take away these children who are hated by the world.
Shera is a monster born from the resentment of countless dead children, but even so, she never had any intention of destroying the world or taking revenge on humanity.
All she wanted was to leave this world with her children.
These children, even if they are hurt, abandoned, or abused.
But they never hated the world.
Because they love this world and look forward to an infinite future.
Shisa looked at Tiga and Eddie, and then called out.
"Teacher! Can you help Sheila? I don't want Sheila to die!"
The other children, holding hands, stood in front of Sheila and shouted at Ultraman.
"Teacher, please save Sheila!"
"Teacher, we don't want Sheila to die!"
"Sheila wouldn't do anything bad, please save Sheila."
The heavy rain lashed down on the two giants.
Even the giant, in this situation, no longer appears tall and imposing.
Or rather, Ultraman has never been a tall and imposing being.
Because even Ultraman has enemies he cannot defeat.
But even so, Ultraman will respond to the children's calls.
Tiga crossed his arms in front of his chest, and Eddie did the same.
Then the colored timers on the chests of the two Ultramen began to shine light, directing the light towards Heila.
The light fell on Sheila, causing her to gradually begin to glow as well.
"Chirp chirp..."
Sheila nuzzled against Sheisa again, then chirped.
It seemed to be an invitation for the children to leave this world with her.
But neither Shisa nor the other children simply shook their heads.
“Sila…I’m sorry, I can’t leave with you.”
“We all promised our teacher that we would grow up in this world...and I also want to become a teacher when I grow up.”
"So, Sheila, I'm sorry, I can't leave with you..."
Shisa smiled, but kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her hand, it was hard to tell if it was tears or rain.
The other children, like Shisa, were not prepared to leave with Sheila.
Yes, the world has hurt them, but they still cling to wishful thinking about the future.
Therefore, they want to stay in this world.
Sheila, though disappointed, respected her children's choice.
She chirped at the children, then struggled to her feet.
But she was too weak and fell down several times.
Seeing this, Tiga and Eddie took the initiative to help Sheila stand up.
The two Ultramen nodded to each other, then helped Sheila up, leaped into the sky, and flew away with Sheila in their arms.
First, we flew over the city with Silas.
Inside the city, police forces are battling Gastrea.
But not long after, countless glowing children ran out from behind them.
To the officers' surprise, the children, laughing happily, ran towards the Gastrea.
Some police officers were not only surprised that these children were glowing, but also surprised that some of them were children they had seen before—children who had died.
The children passed over the Gastrea, and the light they emitted purified the Gastrea, turning them back into humans.
Rentaro looked at the various radiant children passing by and couldn't help but feel curious.
Until... he saw a familiar figure again.
With a smile on her face, Xia Shi walked gently toward Rentaro.
"Xia Shi...are you a ghost now?"
“No, Rentaro, we are now—light.” Natsume smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, it is light. It is the light brought by countless children because of their expectations."
"So... are you still alive now?"
"I don't know..." Natsume simply shook his head in response to Rentaro's question.
Then, she looked up at the sky and saw the giant carrying Hera flying by.
"I'm sorry, Rentaro, I have to leave."
