This is the fifteenth day of the disappearance of 'Asmontis'.

Since the 'ideal country' has been separated from human society, many people have still not been able to completely get rid of the rejection of the empty reality and the yearning for the 'ideal country'.

But the harsh reality does play its cold side, and people have to gradually adapt to the days when there is no 'ideal country', and return to the daily routine of running for a living.

As for the emptiness in their hearts, perhaps only time will wash it away.

And today is also special for Yanglan Academy.

Not only is it because there are a few more children who were orphaned in the previous 'Operation Dawn', but it is also an annual charity giving day.

Despite the government's relief, with the frequent occurrence of monster incidents, more and more children are being rescued by Lily of the Valley Academy, and as the director of the college, I can only maintain the operation of the orphanage by asking for help from members of the society, and try my best to ensure that the children who have lost their relatives due to disasters can be accommodated here.

"Is it really okay to take leave like this?,It's really unreassuring that the SUPER-GUTS players are so loose~"

The charity event hadn't started yet, but Zhu Xingzhen had already taken up a place in the courtyard of the academy in advance.

BY THE WAY, A CERTAIN SUPER-GUTS TEAM MEMBER WHO IS SUPPOSED TO WORK IS ALSO STANDING NEXT TO ZHU XINGZHEN IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES, AND WHAT HE JUST SAID TO THIS PERSON.

"It's noisy, I just changed the vacation after that to today, and it's not a leave of absence from work..."Speaking of this, Asuka paused, and then said angrily, "Besides, you don't do the same!" As a consultant, I always can't see anyone in the base, and I always don't care about things when I encounter them... It's so much worse than I am! ”

"The advisor is civilian~As a combat member, it's normal that you can't usually see me~"

In the face of this menacing questioning, Zhu Xing really talked about him left and right, and did not accept the topic of flying birds at all.

In this way, it makes Asuka have a sense of aggrieved that there is nowhere to go.

"Look, the kid is out."

Seeing that the bird turned his head and posed as if he didn't care about himself, Zhu Xingzhen smiled, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the courtyard and said.

“... Where is it? ”

Ten thousand people in his heart were not happy to deal with this irresponsible boss, but the purpose of his trip was for this child, but he had to be led by the nose by Zhu Xingzhen.

"喏~"

Pointing to Dahewang, who had already run to the yard with a football in his arms and playing with other children, Zhu Xingzhen also slightly restrained his lazy appearance.

In the lawn of the yard, Dahe Wangzheng was playing football with the children with a happy face, and there was no abnormality on his face, not at all like a child who lost his parents half a month ago.

These days, the stars really come to visit this child almost every day, and in order not to irritate him, they are all doing it secretly.

Seeing the child change day by day from numbness and sluggishness, until he integrated into the child, as if everything had happened, the whole process took only fifteen days.

Is this really strong, or is it a mask that you force yourself to wear?

recalled that half a month ago, when Dahe was picked up by the dean in the car, he looked numb and sluggish holding the broken birdcage.

When he stared at himself with those empty eyes and asked hoarsely, "Why didn't Ultraman come?", Zhuxing really felt that a thousand words in his heart could not heal the child's pain.

And in the face of the problem of the big river, he was also speechless.

So I could only watch him walk into the car and gallop into the distance against the rising sun.

Asuka was also on the side at that time, and he also heard Taihe's questioning.

Obviously, this is even more self-reproach for Asuka.

He didn't protect what he wanted to protect.

That's why we really walk with the stars today.

But when he actually saw the child again, he was a little panicked, and he didn't know how to deal with the child and the other two children who had been sent with him.

In the huge community, there were only eleven survivors in the end, three of whom were children...

All of this is the result of not working hard enough.

"Isn't there anything you want to say to him?"

Seeing that the bird was just looking at the big river in the play, and had no intention of stepping forward, Zhuxing really couldn't help but push him.

"Didn't you just want to say something to him, so you asked for leave?"

Suddenly pushed, Asuka stood on his feet a little embarrassed, but he was not angry, but just looked at the children in front of him and was speechless, and his feet were as difficult to move as if they were filled with lead.

IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TIME HE CAME HERE ON BEHALF OF SUPER-GUTS.

This time, he came with deep remorse.

"Ah, it's Asuka!"

A child inadvertently recognizes a bird that has stopped and shouts in cheer, attracting the children's attention.

The frolicking children stopped suddenly, and then they ran over with cheers, and gathered around the bird and pulled him.

APPARENTLY, THESE KIDS REMEMBER THE BIG BROTHER FROM SUPER-GUTS.

Taiga also spotted the two of them here, glanced at Asuka who was suddenly surrounded by children and pouted, and then trotted all the way to the side to avoid the sight of the other children.

After all, he's a celebrity in this orphanage...

Compared to the birds that have only met once, the stars who have been in contact with them a few times are obviously more in line with the appetite of the big river.

"You're also coming to the orphanage's charity donation?"

Standing on tiptoe and patting Zhu Xingzhen on the shoulder, Dahewang asked.

"It's Yanglan Academy."

Zhu Xingzhen didn't answer, but corrected the words in his mouth very seriously.

"Well, it's okay if you say that~" Taihe didn't care about this, beckoning Zhu Xingzhen to sit on the lawn, Nuzui pointed to the birds, and said, "ARE SUPER-GUTS SO IDLE?" ”

These words are surprisingly consistent with Zhu Xingzhen's previous ridicule.

"I have the same opinion on this."

The stars shrugged and sat down on the ground like the river.

"But generally speaking, SUPER-GUTS is still very busy, and it seems that Captain Xibi can't do anything about that problem player."

At this time, a man in a suit hurriedly arrived in the distance, and immediately spotted Zhu Xingzhen sitting on the lawn, nodded with a smile, and walked towards another child who had been waiting for him.

Zhuxing really smiled, it seems that this guy Kaga doesn't want to miss this charity party.

"Huh~"

Ogawa Nozomi sneered, noncommittal, turned his head and followed the eyes of the stars to notice Toshiwa Kaga who was talking to Aikawa, just glanced at it and looked away.

"That guy, I think it's called Aikawa, right? I know him, waiting there every day like a lookout, it's really boring. ”

After speaking, he pursed his lips, as if expressing his disdain.

"Actually, I'm very envious, right?"

Shifting his gaze from Kaga Aikawa to Oga's face full of disdain, Hoshishi noticed the unnaturalness on his little face and immediately teased.

"What's the joke! I don't envy it! ”

Like a cat that has been stepped on its tail, Dahe Wang 'bounced' from the ground with a 'swoop', and pointed to Aikawa in the distance and shouted with a flushed face.

"Don't be shy, if you're really envious, I can come to visit you every day~"

Zhu Xingzhen continued to tease.

"But it's a gift... That's definitely not the case~"

"Just you??"

Dahe stared at Zhu Xingzhen with disgusted eyes, and took a few steps back as if to keep his distance from him.

"Please, don't say something nasty, really..."

"Don't forget it, I don't have that much time to spend on a stinky fart kid anyway~"

Standing up from the lawn, Zhu Xingzhen patted the grass clippings on his body while looking at Dahe and smiled.

"You're the stinky guy!"

Dahe Wang was so angry by Zhu Xingzhen's expression that he jumped to his feet.

"You wait for me, sooner or later I'll join SUPER-GUTS! Then become your boss! When the time comes, I will definitely call you hard! ”

"The revenge psychology is so serious at a young age, and today's children are really terrible~"

Zhu Xingzhen spread his hands and 'sighed', ignoring Dahewang's face flushed with anger.

"I see, you want to join SUPER-GUTS."

Just when the two sides were 'saber rattling', the birds that had finally gotten rid of the children's enthusiasm began to speak.

"Then do you want to listen to the advice of my senior!"

After the baptism of the children, the birds, who are in a much relaxed mood, are no longer nervous just now, and can naturally face the river.

"You? Predecessor?? ”

There is nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, and the river almost immediately stared at the bird that was found, and the nasty guy said in his heart, but he couldn't say it himself, are you still afraid of you, the problem player? So after looking Asuka up and down with a disdainful face, he raised his head and questioned very angrily.

"That's right, it's the Asuka senior who has joined SUPER-GUTS and has become a super ace!"

Asuka didn't notice the little abacus of the big river, and he dressed up very beautifully, and introduced himself.

The stars on the side really just smiled at this and kept a wait-and-see attitude.

He is the best aware of the ability of the little fart of Dahe, and the team members of the problem of flying birds may not take much advantage of the stinky little fart of Dahe.

"I was held hostage before, no matter how you think it, it was because you were robbed of your gun in public, right?" Dahewang looked disdainful, "You're right? SUPER-GUTS's Super ~Ace Player~"

"Uh, this... I..."

Asuka who is narcissistic is blushing when he is called by Dahe, and the ironclad fact and the identity of Dahe's party make everything he wants to say redundant.

"I also know that you often disappear in battle, right?"

Dahe did not let go of this opportunity and continued to fight.

"It's because you're afraid to hide, right? Asuka Members~"

"What are you kidding! When have I ever been afraid to hide! ”

Asuka was like the reaction of the river being stepped on by the 'tail' just now, and subconsciously retorted.

"Then tell me, where did you go when you disappeared~"

Taiga was very satisfied with Asuka's reaction, glanced at Zhu Xingzhen who was watching the battle with a wicked smile next to him, and continued to catch the narrow road.

"I, I was, I was..."

There was an unspeakable bird squeaking for a long time, and finally completely ramped away in the provocative expression of the big river.

"Damn, I'm going to teach you a good lesson!"

"Look at it, you see, it's annoyed and angry~"

Dahe, this kid was very clever, and ran away some distance long before the bird went away, and when he saw the bird chasing after him with a 'hideous' face, he was immediately happy, and he made a grimace and a provocative gesture, and continued to provoke the bird's anger.

Originally, with the physical strength of an adult bird, it couldn't be easier to catch up with the little ghost of the river. But Dahe is not stupid, he always gets into the crowd when he is about to be caught or uses his size advantage to get into the crack of the wall, so that the bird chased him for more than ten minutes and failed to touch half of his hair, so angry that the bird jumped to his feet.

"Join SUPER-GUTS..."

Watching the chase between Asuka and the Great River, the stars really muttered to themselves.

Is it because Ultraman failed to protect people, so he wants to protect them with his own hands?

This kind of strength that buries the sadness in the heart and tries to arm oneself with one's outer strength, although it is still weak, has shown enough potential.

Maybe one day, when this child can face the weakness of his heart, his heart will become stronger.

"It's really underestimated."

A smile spread across Zhu Xingzhen's face.

"But... Go for it, boy. ”

At this time, the charity association was about to open, and the number of people who were invited or spontaneously came gradually increased, and Asuka really couldn't pull down his face to lose face in front of so many people, so he put down his words and wanted to have a football duel between men with Taihe.

Asuka is in charge of being the goalkeeper, and Okoto is in charge of taking penalties, and as long as he can kick it into the goal within three goals, he wins.

Otherwise, if Asuka wins, then Taiga will have to admit his identity as a 'senior' and be humbly taught.

That's a good idea.

Unfortunately, Asuka was frightened by a frightened expression from Oga, and when he hurriedly turned around, he was hit in the crotch by a ball from Oga, and then in Oga's calmness, the ball was kicked into the improvised goal.

After just two goals, Taiga won the game.

Asuka, who wanted to save face, but was even more disgraced, shrugged his face and followed behind Dahe, and returned to Zhu Xingzhen's side amid the goodwill laughter of the onlookers.

"See, I'm not ~usual~ strong~"

The victorious Dahe proudly showed off his achievements in front of the stars, while the birds on the other side, who were still faintly pained, glared at the river with an expression of anger and inaction.

"Well, he is brave and resourceful, and he is indeed much better than someone."

Zhu Xingzhen nodded, and gave a rather 'to-the-point' evaluation, which made Asuka's iron-blue face even darker.

"Big River—come here, the charity is about to begin—"

A young female teacher shouted to Dahe, who was startled.

"Ah, it's time for me to put on a show!"

Seeing that people began to sit on the seats lined up on the lawn one after another, Dahe hurriedly ran towards the stage, not forgetting to stimulate the birds before leaving.

"Let's compete again next time, Team Birds~Member~"

"Damn..."

Asuka who was powerless to refute was full of unwillingness, if he hadn't been careless just now...

"I would never admit that this uncute boy is my junior! Absolute! ”

"It's hard to say~ Let's go too, it's a pity to come and leave without watching their show."

To the 'cruel words' released by the birds, Zhu Xingzhen said that he would just listen to it, and took the lead in following the footsteps of the river and walked towards the simple venue on the lawn.

Although he was dissatisfied with Zhuxingzhen's 'cold' reaction, but the loss of face just now made Asuka have no confidence to say 'ruthless' words, and after muttering a few times, he stupidly followed Zhuxingzhen's footsteps.

Although Yanglan Academy accommodates a lot of children, it actually does not occupy a large area.

The venue of this charity meeting was actually only temporarily built on the lawn where the children played, but the people who came to participate in the event did not care about these details, so they picked a place to sit and wait for the children's performance.

The wait was not long, and the big river that had changed his clothes had already run out.

Everyone recognized this little ghost who had just made a big splash, and they all threw in good-natured laughter.

Taiga walked onto the stage with laughter and began his opening singing with the accompaniment of the teacher's piano.

The song that was sung by the stars vaguely remembered that this was the theme song in an anime that Hanajiro had been fascinated by recently, and he had also watched a lot of it so he remembered the title of the song, "Boys-Be-Ambitious".

In the energetic melody, accompanied by the incomplete singing of the five tones of the river, I don't know if it is intentional or really not good, anyway, the parties themselves don't care about this, and they make all kinds of funny actions to make the audience laugh, and Asuka is one of them.

But these are no longer important.

The important thing is that at this moment, people's mood is infinitely closer.

Whether it is the singing of the children on the stage or the laughter of the audience, along with the sound of the piano, they play different movements together.

At this moment, looking at the big river on the stage, Zhu Xingzhen suddenly remembered that there was such a sentence in the books he had read.

Reality always leaves us bruised, but in the end, those wounded places will be our strongest places.

yes, just like the name of the song.

Children, set high ideals and ambitions.
