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

Inside the stronghold, the sudden influx of new survivors turned the place into a chaotic mess.

Some were registering, some were distributing food, and some were arranging accommodations. Risa couldn't handle it all by herself, so Captain Ozaki also stepped in, running around with a small notebook.

The most frequently asked question by the new survivors was: "Um... will Ultraman really protect us?"

Whenever someone asks this question, Captain Ozaki stops what he's doing and answers earnestly, "Yes, he has protected us many times, and he will continue to do so."

But as people kept asking, they realized something: the young man who had been laughing and playing soccer with the children at the door earlier looked like... Ultraman?

"Are you kidding me?!" A burly man was the first to express disbelief. "That kid who looks like a clean-cut college student? He's Ultraman? Do you think I'm watching tokusatsu?"

Others echoed this sentiment, finding it outrageous.

Yun Yu happened to be passing by and stopped in her tracks when she heard this.

He glanced at the group of people, didn't explain much, and simply raised his right hand, making a casual gesture.

"call out."

A cross-shaped dart flew from his palm, instantly slicing a large, obstructing rock outside the factory into pieces.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

The burly man who had shouted the loudest earlier had his mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

Then, with a "plop," he knelt down before Captain Ozaki: "Captain! Please, please take me in! I can do anything! Moving things, fixing things, I can do it all!"

The others realized what was happening and expressed their willingness to abide by the rules of the stronghold.

"Big brother, big brother! Come quick!" Xiao Wu shouted as he ran, followed by seven or eight children, both boys and girls.

"What's wrong, kids?" Yun Yu stood up and patted the dust off her pants.

He noticed that the children's faces were unfamiliar, suggesting they had only recently arrived at the base.

They were all timid, hiding behind Xiao Wu, secretly watching Yun Yu, but not daring to go forward, like a group of shy kittens.

Yun Yu quickly squatted down to meet their gaze, a kind smile on his face: "What's wrong? Tell your big brother what's wrong, and he'll help you solve it."

Seeing how kind Yunyu was, the children looked at each other and pushed and shoved each other for a while before finally pushing out a slightly braver little boy.

He was so nervous that his little hands were clenching the hem of his clothes, his face flushed red, and he took a deep breath before asking in a trembling voice:

"B-Big brother...could you also tell us...how can we become Ultraman?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yu was taken aback.

He looked at the little boy in front of him, who was so nervous he was about to cry, and then at the other children behind him who were also looking on with anticipation. His heart softened.

He smiled gently, reached out and softly patted the little boy's head, his voice low and soft: "What's wrong? Why do you want to become Ultraman?"

The little boy bit his lip and glanced back.

Yunyu then noticed that at the very back of the children stood an even smaller little girl with two pigtails, looking timidly in their direction, clutching a tattered rag doll in her hand.

"Because...because I want to protect my sister!" The little boy turned around, pointed at the little girl, his voice still trembling, but his eyes became exceptionally firm:

"Our parents used to protect us, but now they're gone. I'm the older brother, and I have to protect my younger sister! I want to become Ultraman so no one can bully her!"

Yun Yu looked at the boy, who was only a few years older than Xiao Wu, and at his eyes, which were filled with fear yet still stubborn, and remained silent for a moment.

He was about to open his mouth to say something when his pupils suddenly glowed with a faint starlight, as if the entire night sky had been crushed and contained within them.

Yun Yu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, but the starlight quickly faded from his eyes.

He paused for two seconds, then looked at the little boy in front of him again, squatted down, gently placed his hands on the boy's shoulders, and began to speak, word by word.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word landed firmly in the little boy's heart:

"Listen up, man! Big brother is going to fight monsters and protect everyone. But before I go, big brother has something very important to tell you."

He paused, looking directly into the little boy's eyes, and slowed his speech, as if teaching him a crucial incantation:

"Eat well, get strong and healthy, don't let your sister go hungry, don't be afraid of monsters, don't run away from difficulties, stand in front of your sister, that's Ultraman."

A promise is a promise, and if you say you'll protect her, you'll never let go. That's Ultraman.

Yun Yu's voice grew increasingly steady and powerful, each word carrying an undeniable firmness:

"So as long as you don't forget what I said today, as long as you keep striving, keep being brave, and keep never giving up, then one day you will find..."

He extended a finger and gently touched the little boy's chest:

"You yourself are your sister's Ultraman, the one and only, the most powerful Ultraman in the world."

Although the little boy didn't fully understand what was being said, he vaguely seemed to have grasped the most crucial point.

If he does as his older brother says, eats well, isn't afraid, doesn't give up, and keeps protecting his younger sister, then one day, he might really become Ultraman.

It is an Ultraman that belongs only to his sister.

The thought made his little heart pound rapidly. He nodded vigorously, his little head bobbing like a rattle drum, as if he were trying his best to tell his older brother: I know, I will do it.

Yun Yu smiled as she watched him nod vigorously.

He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the group of children looking up at him. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears:

"You are all the same. As long as you don't forget the person you want to protect, as long as you keep being brave and keep working hard, one day you will all become Ultraman for the person you want to protect."

As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, took out the Sylvias Star Chart from his collar, and held it tightly in his palm.

Blue light shone from between her fingers, growing brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.

"Sylvias!"

A thick beam of light shot into the sky, piercing the factory roof and tearing through the dark night sky, flying rapidly towards the direction from which the monster was attacking.

On the ground, a group of children looked up at the light that disappeared into the night sky. Some opened their mouths wide, some covered their faces, and some, imitating the older boy, pressed their little hands to their chests.

There, something seemed to be slightly warm.
