Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Ah, he's here!"

"Natal said happily. In the distance, a rather tall man was waving."

"Okay, I'm off now. Good luck!"

"Yes, let's encourage each other."

"We'll meet again if we have the chance."

The two shook hands firmly and said goodbye.

However, Ruisheng himself was very clear that such an opportunity simply did not exist.

After a while, Senju Rei appeared.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The two figures left the brightly lit square and disappeared into the darkness.

After that, Chishu Rei ran around trying to save Ruisheng. In order to find a way to suppress the activity of Deltas cells and restore normalcy, he secretly sneaked into the research institute, but the more he investigated, the clearer it became that there was no such method.

Every passing second felt like it was consuming her life, causing Chishu Rei immense heartache. Watching the girl slowly melt away in her palm like snow, Chishu Rei could only watch helplessly. Her anxiety only intensified.

"Stop trying like this, I'm doomed, there's no way to stop it."

Ruisheng couldn't bear to see Qian Shulian so exhausted, so he pleaded, but Qian Shulian refused to give up.

"I swear I will save you, and a vow must be kept."

Chishu Rei smiled and gently placed her hand on the girl's head.

However, time is cruel, and day after day passes by.

Saturday morning arrived, and a pale-faced girl sat in the passenger seat of an old-fashioned car, while Chishu Rei held the steering wheel.

"I'm so sorry to make you ride in this beat-up car, even though I had a brand new car just a few days ago..."

"I know, wasn't it destroyed by that rat?"

She chuckled.

"Huh? How did you know about this?"

"I saw Rei that day."

That night, Ruisheng was walking through that place after work. It was another day when customers still didn't listen to the girl's songs, and Ruisheng remained immersed in sadness. "A world like this is best left behind as soon as possible," she thought.

"And so, that rat-like monster appeared. I made up my mind; I would rather die in the end. And that's when you appeared there."

The girl looked at Qian Shulian with doting eyes, preparing what she was about to say.

"You, even in the face of monsters, you showed no fear. You pointed your gun straight at the monster and fought to the very last moment. Seeing you act like a fool, I don't know why I wanted to laugh. If this person were to kill me, it wouldn't be a loss... That's what I thought for a moment."

However, at that time, the girl did not realize that this was what is called love.

"Hey, Lian, can I make a selfish request?"

"Don't even think about asking me to beat you up."

"No, I... want to see the sea. Take me to the beach."

The car, carrying two incredibly insignificant people who were at odds with the world, sped through the streets.

The beach they finally reached after a long and arduous journey was only filled with the sound of receding waves. There were few people around, and the occasional cries of seabirds only emphasized the silence.

Ruisheng took off her shoes, revealing her alluring bare feet. She dipped her feet into the waves and smiled shyly.

"This feels so good."

Although she wasn't in the mood to laugh, Chishu Rei was infected by her smile and smiled back.

"How nostalgic! I was born in this seaside town."

The girl talked as she walked. Qian Shulian took her slender hand and walked alongside her.

"A mother from outer space sent her spaceship to float to this town. It was here that she met her father."

Ruisheng's mother crash-landed on Earth after her spaceship wrecked. Her father saved her life there. Unable to repair the spaceship, their hope of returning home vanished, but the male Earthlings treated the female aliens with kindness. Before they knew it, they had fallen in love and even had a child.

“My mother especially liked to put her feet in the waves like this, so she named me ‘Ruisheng’ (meaning ‘sweet life’), saying that when the waves soak my feet, I can feel that the planet is alive. But I don’t quite understand it.”

However, her body was not suited to living on this planet. She passed away soon after giving birth to Ruisheng.

"Mom, I know I don't have long to live."

The two people bent down and sat down on the beach.

Even knowing this, she still fell in love with her father...

Ruisheng's voice trembled.

"Both mother and daughter have lost their minds. Why, knowing there's no chance of survival, do they still repeat the same mistake..."

The girl lowered her head, tears dripping down her face and wetting her knees. She began to cry.

"Qian Shulian, why didn't I meet you sooner? If I had, this whole thing would have been..."

Qian Shulian suddenly reached out and put his arm around the girl's shoulder; there was nothing else he could do.

"After my father passed away, I thought singing was all I could do. Once I started singing, everyone would turn around and look at me. Because of this, after leaving the stage, I believed that living was pointless. But now I understand that's not the case. Lian, I still want to live..."

He held the girl's trembling body tightly, and Chishu Rei gritted her teeth.

"sorry."

The voice was tinged with sobs.

In the end, I wasn't able to help you at all...

The girl shook her head, trembling, in denial.

"You're wrong. I'm especially happy to have you here with me."

The two people pressed their tiny bodies together tightly, gazing at the sea.

The waves surged in and receded, and with each rise and fall, the footprints left by the two as they strolled quickly disappeared. After that, nothing was left behind.

The setting sun cast a dazzling afterglow on the sea, a sight that was not only beautiful but also a clear announcement of the day's end—tomorrow is Sunday.

"Hey, I also want to make a selfish request."

Qian Shulian said abruptly.

"what?"

"Sing one more song for me, okay?"

Ruisheng paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

She stood up, faced the sea, and quietly began to sing. Her gentle voice soothed Qian Shulian's heart, disappearing with the sea breeze on the other side of the sky.

He realized that the sadness he had felt when he first heard the song had vanished without him noticing. But this hadn't diminished the song's charm; he thought it was probably because the girl had rediscovered her true self. "This is all the value I have left," Chishu Rei thought.

He listened intently to the song, trying his best to make it unforgettable and forever linger in his ears.

In this tranquility that seemed to be at the end of the world, her singing was so beautiful.

That night, the two spent the night in a very, very small cabin built on a hill overlooking the sea.

The wind blew in through the gaps in the walls, making the dusty little house quite cold, but that was enough for the two people huddled together.

The two of them talked about all sorts of things. It seemed like they had endless things to say.

"If only it could just keep going like this, and the sky would never brighten," Qian Shulian thought sincerely.

Before they knew it, they both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, the chirping of birds woke Chishu Rei.

She felt as if she had had a very sad dream, but when she woke up, the memory disappeared in some distant place, leaving only a sad feeling in her heart. At this moment, after realizing that the warm jade fragrance that had been there until last night had disappeared, Qian Shulian jumped up.

The girl was no longer there.

Only the note remained, all alone on the bed.

Holding the note in her hand, Qian Shulian read the message, clutched it tightly, and quickly ran outside.

"Lian, I'm so sorry, I think I'm not going to make it. It's so good to meet you before I die."

The letter was short, and the handwriting trembled slightly. The image of a girl struggling with pain while desperately writing the letter flashed through her mind, which was unbearable for Chiju Rei.

Chishu Rei called out the girl's name as she ran, searching for the green eyes as she raced through the streets.

However, there was no trace of the girl anywhere.

Then, on Sunday evening.

Monsters attacked the streets.

This bipedal monster, its body covered in reddish-black skin that appeared to be on fire, looked utterly terrifying. However, its haphazard crashing into buildings evoked a sense of despair in onlookers, drawing sympathy from those who witnessed it.

That monster had small green eyes.

"A giant creature has been spotted in region α. ​​Residents in the vicinity, please..."

He had only spoken halfway when the screen was slammed to the ground, bursting into flames.
