Editing of famous scenes from the anime, including the opening of the Starburst Air Strike

He slowly calmed down his emotions, then slowly raised his head and met Hubie's sincere gaze.

At the same time, the chess piece in his hand was placed on the chessboard.

"boom!"

"General!"

Although at this moment, Rick moved his chess piece to a position where he could checkmate, everyone's attention was no longer focused on the chessboard. In other words, Rick must be very frustrated now.

After hearing Hubie's words, Rick's heart was on the verge of breaking down.

Although Rick tried to control himself, but...

Obviously, no matter how many times he asked such a question, Rick would feel a headache.

However, when Hubie finished his last sentence, even he himself was very clear that Hubie did not seem to be speaking out of mockery, but truly wanted to understand humans.

But even so, Rick still couldn't face this fact.

That’s right, no matter if you ask the Old Gods, Dwarves, Elves, or even humans themselves, you will get only one answer, and it will never change.

but...

Rick just couldn't accept it.

Even though he had tried his best, even though he had risked everything, even though he had sacrificed the lives of so many of his friends and family, Rick still couldn't accept himself.

In his opinion, such a victory is nothing more than a victory that depends on his own people. What kind of victory is it?

As he thought about this, Rick's expression began to twist a little.

Although he really didn't want to show that look in front of Hubie, his important partner, again, but...

Hubie's words undoubtedly touched upon what Rick cared about most. At this moment, all the pressure that Rick had been carrying just burst out.

"Then let me ask you... According to what you said, what is the meaning of living in such a world?"

"You keep running for survival and escaping, but what happens after that?"

"After that...what to do?"

"Tell me what I should do... Should I just keep silent and disappear like dust?"

"If I don't want that....will the world change if I sacrifice 1001 lives for the sake of 999 lives?"

"You said... Hubie... Tell me... What should I do... What should I do..."

Rick opened his pupils wide and kept talking to the girl in front of him. Rick's eyes, which were no longer clear, just stared blankly at Hubie in front of him. At this moment, his expression was undoubtedly quite moved, and he even began to twitch from time to time.

Rick's emotions were brought to a critical point by Hubie, and his voice kept echoing loudly in the ruins.

"Sure enough... this is the hurdle that young people will never be able to overcome..."

As Rick spoke, the scene changed. At this moment, the black and gray storm was eroding all the creatures on the earth. Butterflies, flowers, and insects were all being eroded at this moment, just like humans... so fragile.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya, who had just felt sympathy for the boy, undoubtedly revealed an extremely sad expression for a moment.

There is nothing wrong with what the boy said. It is more like living in a world like that, being alive is an extremely difficult thing. Many times, it is not that you want to make a choice, but if you don't make a choice, you will fall into a dead end.

so...

Rick's words really made Jiraiya fall into deep thought. In many cases, the ninja world can be so cruel that many people even have to be sacrificed in advance to obtain first-hand intelligence for the battle.

only...

For so many years, in this world where humans have been struggling to survive, there is no future in sight, no dawn of victory. How pathetic is this kind of despair? Even Jiraiya felt sad for him for a moment.

There is no way around it, this is the cruel reality.

but...

In the exciting video, Hubie, the Mecha-Machina girl who has always been regarded as a machine by Riku, slowly stretched out her little hand and placed it on Riku's chest.

"Rick..."

"..."

The audience who had been watching the video were moved by Hubie's actions. Unlike before when he would just take the scolding, now Hubie was obviously prepared in advance.

Although he knew it would annoy Rick, he still had to say it. In order to let Rick vent the pressure in his heart, Hubie did his best.

Now when the audience thinks back to what Hubie said before, that she wanted to see Rick smile, they realize that everything she said was a preparation for the next action.

Only those who have been watching the video till the end will understand how big Hubie's change is. In the beginning, no one thought Hubie could get the "heart" of humans, but now he has slowly been able to understand human emotions and even use them. In other words, Hubie is no different from humans.

Of course, it was not only the audience who were surprised, but even Rick himself was shocked by Hubie's action. For a moment, although his body was still shaking, he could clearly feel the warmth slowly spreading from his chest to all parts of his body.

For a moment, Rick's thoughts, words and ideas were completely cut off by such a gentle voice.

At this moment, the feelings between the boy and girl began to heat up, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered around them.

There is a saying that goes, behind every successful man there is an outstanding woman, and this saying is also true now. Without Hubby's support and company, Rick doesn't even know when he will completely collapse and turn into a madman.

Rick is human after all, and humans have limits.

Feeling the warm body temperature slowly spreading throughout his body, Rick felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. Looking at the innocent and kind-hearted girl in front of him, Rick realized at this moment that this clumsy girl was like a guardian angel who had always been guarding him. Even though she didn't understand things most of the time, she would still come out to care about him at the first time.

There were even many times when she followed him without regrets for his sake. Even though she was just an Ex-Machina, even though she was just a creature made of a bunch of machines, she should still understand the preciousness of life. However, Hubie seemed to have never paid attention to all this. What she cared about from beginning to end was just how to stay by his side, how to save her own life, and how to bring happiness to him.

All of a sudden, the boy's heart began to beat. He was moved and filled with sadness. Perhaps it was because he finally realized that this obedient and lovely girl who had always been by his side without regrets was always by his side. Rick's expression suddenly became distorted, and even...it was beyond recognition.

Emotions that cannot be expressed in words can only be conveyed between the hearts. Such emotions are, without a doubt, the most primitive emotions of human beings, Rick.

Although on the surface, this journey is a process of Hubie searching for his "heart", but for Rick, it is also a process of finding himself, constantly improving himself, and experiencing the original and most essential emotions of human beings. This is what Rick has discovered along the way.

Perhaps at this moment, Rick finally realized that his emotions had become out of control, and his originally cloudy and lifeless eyes slowly showed a hint of light at this moment, and crystal clear tears began to fall.

"It seems....the boy finally realized it..."

“The one who seeks ‘heart’ is never alone.”

In the comment section, Mr. Yoshimura Kozen, who had watched the video from beginning to end, said this slowly as if he had been relieved.

Perhaps when people are young, they always miss the things they love, and...when people come to their senses, that person has become irretrievable, but many times, the person who has always been with you is right by your side.

Many viewers shed tears when they saw this scene. For them, if they could go back to the past, they would never lose the person who loved them the most because of cowardice.

This feeling, without a doubt, is love.

The audience who saw this couldn't help but start to cry.

At this moment, witnessed by millions of people, the relationship between Rick and Hubie slowly warmed up.

As far as Rick could remember, he had never been treated like this before. Even Chloro Ni, who always asked him to call her sister, couldn't do it.

This kind of warmth is different from the warmth given by elders and the so-called care. It is the warmth that truly spreads and radiates from the heart from an equal perspective.

This is companionship, support, and belief along the way, and she is also the only girl who finally walks into Rick's heart.

Perhaps it was this unique and special feeling that opened Rick's heart once again.

At this moment, Rick, in a confessional tone, kept saying...

"Hubby..."

"what do I do......."

At this moment, Rick was completely unable to control his inner depression, and his voice began to tremble. He lowered his head slightly, as if he had no strength to lift it up, and spoke slowly. Up to this point, Rick's choked sobs had infected too many people. Many times, his voice had been completely blocked by the sadness, and his hoarse throat could not make a sound.

Although most viewers were moved to varying degrees, or even sad, after hearing Rick's words, but...

There are very few people who can truly understand the sadness in Rick's heart, and who can truly understand and even empathize with him.

Even among tens of millions of worlds, Rick's living conditions are already among the best, so it is understandable that not many people can understand it. Most of the audience rely on their age, experience, and strong empathy to continuously understand the meaning of Rick's words.

At this moment, although Rick could feel the warmth from Hubie's fingertips, at the same time, a sad scene slowly emerged in his mind because of Hubie's words.

No matter what, the boy's heart is on the verge of collapse at this moment. When he thinks that he is just a sad joke, wandering in this desolate land and even living his whole life without any sense of belonging, the next life will be a greater test for Rick.

Is there any meaning in living? Is there any meaning in living in this world?

Rick doubts himself like this almost all the time.

but....

Hubie's voice was like the beginning of spring for Rick, slowly melting the snow that had been buried in his heart for so long.

That's right, Hubie's little hand slowly rested on Rick's heart, and then he spoke in a very gentle voice:

"Hubby...Hubby wants to know the answer..."

"How will Rick's heart answer...?"

Perhaps because he felt that Rick was too depressed, Hubie's voice seemed like Rick's salvation for a moment, surprising the audience watching the video.

Perhaps it was because the warmth of Hubie's palm was indeed transmitted to Rick, at this moment Rick slowly raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him with an extremely helpless expression.

In his expression, he just smiled bitterly:

“Hehehe…”

This kind of expression is indeed bitter, and even through the screen, the audience can feel the helplessness and sadness.

"I'm so embarrassed to show you how embarrassed I am... I asked you because I thought you didn't know..."

As he spoke, Rick's gaze slowly moved to the side. Looking at the clear and bright girl in front of him, Rick's face once again showed a helpless and bitter smile.

"I can't let you be like this...hahaha..."

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere at the moment, Rick's smile seemed a little abrupt, but...

He knew very well that he should not be so mean to the girl who had always been protecting him.

and...

After hearing Rick's words, Hubie stared at Rick with extremely clear eyes.

"Rick...what do you want to do...?"

After hearing these words, Rick seemed to have turned into a child. Even his eyes seemed to be infected by Hubie and became very clear and transparent.

At this moment, he was really thinking about what he wanted to do.

It must be said that in his more than ten years of life, except when he was a child, Rick had never thought about what he wanted to do most. Perhaps due to such a cruel reality, Rick had to accept it.

but...

It was as if Hubie had awakened his past memories, and Rick began to think at this moment.

"What do I want to do...?"

Rick hesitated for a long time, and his gaze returned to Hubie again.

However, Hubie, who was staring at him just now, now lowered his head and spoke to him slowly like a little woman:

"That...Rick..."

"Whatever you do.....whatever you do is fine..."

"What Hubie wants to say is... Hubie will help. Hubie wants to help Rick..."

"Until I can understand Rick's heart, Hubie will always be here."

"Whatever Rick wants to do, Hubie will help and will be there to see it through..."

"so....."

Having said this, Hubie once again slowly cast her clear gaze on Rick. When Rick felt that sincere gaze once again coming upon himself, the warmth in his heart began to slowly emerge.

When Hubie said this, he paused deliberately, and then...

"Hubby wants to achieve what Rick wants to do..."

Hubie's gentle voice slowly echoed in the ruins.

"......"

The atmosphere, for a moment, was completely filled with the ambiguous feelings between the young boy and the girl.

When Rick heard Hubie say these words, his heart felt like it was pierced, and his body also seemed to be hit by something and began to twitch uncontrollably.

It should be said that when Rick heard these words, his heart was shocked. Even Rick, who had never faced his own feelings, felt the warmth in his heart at this moment, which was constantly lingering in various parts of his body.

Perhaps after hearing Hubie's words, Rick already had the answer in his heart.

He already had a thorough plan in his mind for what he wanted to do.

But...there's no need for Hubie to know...after all, she said that Hubie would accept what he wanted to do.
