We asked you to make tokusatsu films, and you actually became Ultraman?

The streets were quiet and slightly cool in the early morning, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A childish yet persistent murmur echoed again and again by the roadside:

"Bottle cap... bottle cap..."

Shota was squatting next to a trash can on the street, his small body reaching deep inside as he carefully searched for the trash can's contents.

His movements were marked by the stubbornness and eagerness unique to children, all in an effort to find a suitable bottle cap.

Just yesterday, his Ultraman Sirius toy, the colorful timer he made himself out of a bottle cap, suddenly developed a long crack without warning.

That crack completely ruined the toy's original appearance, leaving Shota feeling empty inside.

So starting in the morning, Shota walked all over the streets near his home, rummaged through all the trash cans along the way, and was determined to find an identical bottle cap to replace the broken timer and restore his Sirius to its original state.

No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find the same bottle cap as before.

After searching through the last street trash can and still finding nothing, Shota slowly straightened up, his small shoulders slumping slightly.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the faint scent of dust from the street.

  

Just as he was about to get up and head to another street to continue his search, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly rang out from ahead.

"Shouta!"

The gentle voice was like the most comfortable breeze in early autumn, soothing the anxiety in his heart. Shota subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

In the sunlight, Yun Yu was standing quietly not far away, smiling and waving at him.

It's that kind older brother at the convenience store.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Shota's gloomy mood instantly brightened considerably. A genuine joy flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously raised his small hand, wanting to warmly respond to the other person's greeting.

But the moment he raised his hand, he suddenly stopped.

She had been rummaging through the trash can, her little hands were covered in dust, the edges of her clothes were dirty, and she had a faint smell of trash on her body. She looked disheveled and slovenly.

Young and sensitive, yet also insecure, Shota was afraid that his dirty appearance would disgust the other person, so he could only quietly pull his raised hand back and nervously clench it in the corner of his clothes.

Yun Yu took all these little actions into account, but didn't care at all.

He seemed oblivious to Shota's dusty clothes and the faint odor, walking straight up to the little boy, his palm slightly open, smiling as he spoke:

"Shota, look what I found!"

Upon hearing this, Shota, who was already feeling inferior, instinctively looked up.

The little boy froze the moment his gaze fell on Yun Yu's palm.

Sunlight fell on my palm, where a perfectly dry bottle cap lay quietly.

Furthermore, this bottle cap is exactly the same as the one he originally made for the Sirius timer, the one he had been searching for all morning but could not find.

Shota's eyes widened in disbelief, his little heart pounding.

Although he was excited, he still looked up at Yun Yu with a puzzled expression and asked softly, "Big brother... how did you know my toy was broken?"

He had never told anyone about this; he had only secretly run out to look for the bottle cap. The older brother in front of him shouldn't have known.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yu blinked in feigned surprise, speaking naturally as if it were a chance encounter.

"Really? I just saw this bottle cap when I was passing by and thought it was really nice. It looks exactly like the timer from your old Sirius toy, so I thought I'd bring it to you."

What's wrong? If your toy is broken, is the bottle cap broken?

A simple statement perfectly concealed all the reasons; it was just a gentle coincidence.

Shota didn't press the matter further. He simply lowered his head and carefully took out the Ultraman Sirius toy from his small backpack.

On the toy's chest, the bottle cap that served as a timer had cracked, severing the original, intact light.

Looking at the crack and the way the little boy carefully protected his toy, Yun Yu felt a slight pang in her heart. She gently handed the brand-new, intact bottle cap from her palm to Xiang Tai, saying:

"That's a great coincidence. In that case, you can have this bottle cap."

The still-warm bottle cap landed in his palm. Shota stood there stunned for several seconds. After he came to his senses, he immediately gripped the bottle cap tightly in his palm, his little face instantly turning bright red.

"Thank you, big brother!"

Seeing the little boy's shy yet happy expression, Yun Yu couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his soft cheeks.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he deliberately lowered his voice and said in a mysterious tone:

"By the way, actually, my older brother has always had a secret that he has never told anyone."

I have a complete Ultraman Sirius suit. Would you like to take a look later? I'll put it on for you, and then we can take a picture together, okay?

These words instantly brightened Shota's gloomy mood.

The little boy suddenly looked up, his eyes shining like starlight, full of anticipation and surprise: "Really? Big brother!?"

"Of course it's true! Would your big brother lie to you?"

---

As the sun set and the gentle passage of time flowed by, Shota obediently returned home in the evening.

He couldn't wait to take out his small scissors and glue, carefully removed the cracked old bottle cap from the toy's chest, and then glued the bottle cap given to him by Yunyu to the timer.

When the last corner was glued in place, I don't know if it was just psychological.

Shota truly felt that the previously dull and lifeless Sylvia toy seemed to come back to life in an instant.

The glaring crack disappeared completely, the familiar appearance reappeared in its entirety, and the light that belonged to him returned completely.

The sudden sense of fulfillment and joy enveloped the young boy, and all the disappointment and frustration in his heart vanished.

He couldn't help but hug the Sirius toy tightly in his arms, gently pressing his cheek against the toy's surface.

"My Ultraman Sirius..."

A child's soft, sweet murmurs hold the purest form of affection.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the lights in a small rented room were soft.

Yunyu sat at the table, gently picked up the large group photo that transcended time and space, carefully placed it in her newly bought photo frame, and put it on the desk.

In the photo, the teenagers are vibrant and lively, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere.

His gaze slowly swept over each familiar face, finally settling on the corner of the photo, on that illusory figure of Xi.

After a long while, Yunyu looked at the photo, smiled gently, and whispered:

"Looking forward to seeing you again, Ultraman Sirius..."

【Ultraman Twelve Warriors of Sylvia - The End】

The epilogue is a bit long, so I'll probably update two chapters tomorrow. You'll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to watch the movie. I'm really sorry.

The viewing experience remains unchanged, so readers who enjoy watching movies don't need to worry. However, if you don't like watching movies, you can simply skip them, as this doesn't affect the main storyline.

Finally, thank you everyone for your support! Love you all, Ciallo～(∠・ω＜)⌒☆】
