Chapter 926 Pioneer
In the empty living room, Yuzurina knelt quietly on a round cushion, wearing a black kimono adorned with cherry blossoms.
A gentle breeze carried a few cherry blossoms into the room onto the tatami, and her light pink cherry blossom hairpin cast a faint halo in the sunlight as she lowered her head to look at the radio before her, slowly closing her eyes…
Creak—!
A tall figure in white clothing opened the door and walked in.
Yuzurina turned to look, and saw Yuzuritaki standing behind her, a gentle smile appearing on his blood-stained face.
“Sister, I’m back,” he said softly.
“Why are you covered in blood again?” Yuzurina quickly stood up and walked in front of him, looking up at him worriedly, “Are you hurt?”
“No, this is just blood from the corpse beasts. I’m strong, they can’t hurt me.”
Yuzuritaki said with a smile.
“Take off your clothes, let me wash them.” Yuzurina frowned as she helped Yuzuritaki remove his outer garment, “This is already the fourth one today… If this continues, no matter how capable you are, your body will break down.”
“I’m not tired.” Yuzuritaki gently took off his outer garment and smiled, “Wherever monsters appear, I’ll go there to defeat them and save everyone… Sister, I’m just like Ultraman now!”
Hearing this, Yuzurina burst into laughter, “You’re so grown up now, yet still watching such childish things.”
Yuzuritaki froze, “But sister… I’m only thirteen?”
Yuzurina’s hand stopped in mid-air.
She stared blankly at the blood-stained white garment in her hands, standing still like a statue.
“Sister?” Yuzuritaki looked at Yuzurina with pure, puzzled eyes.
“Hm?” Yuzurina snapped back to reality, blinking her slightly moist eyes hard, “Oh, I’ll go wash your clothes now…”
She turned and walked in the other direction.
Boom—!
Just then, a faint rumbling sound came from the distant sky.
Yuzurina’s body trembled.
“…Breaking news: Another black beast has appeared in Edogawa District, Tokyo. Two residential buildings have collapsed, and the scene is in chaos… Will the White-Robed Divine appear in time to save these people in distress?”
The radio’s voice echoed in the spacious living room as the siblings stood by the sliding doors overlooking the cherry blossom-filled courtyard, both falling into silence.
After a moment, Yuzuritaki spoke: “Sister… give me back my clothes. I’ll return after killing this one, then you can wash them.
Otherwise… they’ll just get dirty again.”
Yuzurina’s small hands clutched tightly to the blood-stained white garment in her arms, no longer able to contain her grief as tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks, blending with the bloodstains on the white cloth.
“Why?!” Yuzurina suddenly turned around and shouted with all her might, “Why do you have to take all these burdens upon yourself! Why should you be responsible for these people’s lives? You’re only thirteen! This world has never treated you well, so why are you going to such lengths?
At thirteen, you should just stay home watching tokusatsu shows, being a child who dreams of becoming a hero…
Only idiots would actually want to become heroes!”
Seeing Yuzurina crying before him, Yuzuritaki stood stunned.
After a long silence, he stepped forward to the sobbing Yuzurina, crouched down, and showed a warm smile on his blood-stained face.
“I’m not an idiot, sister. There are no idiots in the Yuzuri family.” He said softly,
“Brother Amemiya was once the person who hated this corrupt nation the most and wanted to completely destroy it… but do you know why he’s now searching alone for ways to help this nation survive in these desperate times?”
Yuzurina shook her head in confusion.
“Brother Amemiya hated the theocracy, the outdated thoughts and society corrupted by religious authority… not the people.
Any human group is complex. While some may be beyond saving, there are always others who have the potential to change. What they lack is just the right environment.
In this ‘human circle,’ there are too few people who can break free from the old cage and achieve self-awakening, and among them, those with the power to change everything are even rarer.
As far as I know, there’s only Brother Amemiya, Father, you, and me…
When crisis comes, we who have awakened and possess power must either choose to stay safe and become deserters of this world, or… stand up and become pioneers who turn the tide.
Sister, I don’t want to be a deserter.
Perhaps we won’t be understood, perhaps this path will be extremely difficult, but we want to give this country a chance… a chance to return to the right path.
This is what Brother Amemiya and I are doing.”
Looking at Yuzuritaki’s pure and serious eyes, Yuzurina stood stunned.
She never imagined that her simple, game-loving otaku brother would have such far-reaching thoughts.
Indeed, there are no idiots in the Yuzuri family… before him, Yuzurina felt she was the foolish one.
Yuzuritaki reached out and gently wiped away Yuzurina’s tears, smiling like a big boy, “Besides, being able to become a hero like me is the dream of so many children my age.
In children’s world, there aren’t so many conflicts of interest or scheming. We just want to become heroes, that’s all.
Even if there’s just a slight chance, I want to carry these children’s wishes and become their light.”
Yuzuritaki reached out and pointed to the blood-stained white garment in Yuzurina’s arms:
“Sister, can you give me back my Ultraman suit?”
Hearing this, Yuzurina, who had stopped crying, couldn’t help but laugh again.
She pressed her lips together and returned the white garment to Yuzuritaki, her expression more serious than ever before, “No matter what happens, you must protect yourself, understand?”
“I understand, sister. I’ll be back soon.”
Yuzuritaki stood up, smiled and waved to Yuzurina, then turned to walk outside.
He put on the blood-stained white garment as falling cherry blossoms danced in the wind. This tall thirteen-year-old boy was carving out a path called hope through thorns for millions of lives with his own hands.
His figure flickered and disappeared.
Yuzurina silently gazed in the direction he left for a long while, as if making some decision, then called out to the door:
“Takuya.”
A young man stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Yuzurina, “Family Head.”
“Call all Kazematsurie family members in Tokyo, we’re going out in ten minutes.”
“Going out? Family Head, it’s very chaotic outside. What are we going to do?”
“We’re going to… enforce heaven’s justice.”
