The sky outside the window was blue, and the emerald green that only belonged to summer spread freely on the earth. The summer heat was blocked outside the house. The teenagers who stayed at home tied up the messy hair on the forehead at will, slammed the handle button with a popsicle in their mouth, and occasionally complained impatiently about the conversation of passers-by, and shot the huge screen on the screen. monster. It's another day of nothing to do, and everything should go on like this...
but the incredible stories always start so naturally. A soft voice sounded beside the boy, white dress with blue ribbon, water-colored eyes and long silver-gray hair, the boy stared blankly at that unforgettable face.
Ah, the beast of summer.
The silent air was disturbed. The beasts of summer are extremely dangerous. She tore off the seal of the memory with all her strength, allowing the memory to pour out from the gap in the air, attacking him and them ten years later.
Then, start a new summer.
✿Unpredictable apart from encounters, only separation.
Not all beasts have to bother Ultraman to repel them. The girl named Mianma no longer needs any expulsion and no longer belongs to this world. From that day ten years ago, meeting the face code has become an impossible thing. But ah, you must know that only the "impossible" itself is the real impossible.
The girl's face code, age unknown, broke into Rentai's life again with an "impossible" attitude.
Initially, this first heroine gave me the urge to abandon the show. A typical little girl, cute, willful, chattering, coupled with Kayano Ai's soft and greasy voice, it gave me a headache. But even so, when she smiled and frankly faced the reality that she was dead, it still made one's heart tighten. If the furthest distance in the world is the separation between life and death, if you turn into a ghost and still have joy, anger and sorrow, if you are clearly standing in front of you, but you can't see her... Then in this small body, what exactly is stuffed? How much sadness and how strong a heart should be to let the skirt fly in the summer as if nothing had happened.
So I tried hard to believe the truth of the face code. She can eat sizzling barbecued meat, and her physical attacks make Ren Tai helpless. She will occupy the owner's bed at night and sleep under the covers. She also smiles silly at Ren Tai, as always. . But some truths, after all, can only be realized in unexplained mysticism. Such a face cannot reflect an equidistant virtual image in the mirror, nor can she get any other person's gaze. She can only be caught by Rentai's gaze, casting an upside-down image on the small curtain in his eyes. .
She returns with a wish to meet Renta.
And when the time goes back ten years ago, Mianma's departure was just as unexpected as her appearance. We still haven't been able to know the whole picture of the accident, what happened in the moment before the slipper fell, and took away the face code and the "tomorrow" that Ren Tai thought would come as soon as he woke up, and also took away A decade after the ultra-peaceful BUSTERS.
Those separations that we could not have foreseen were predestined in the dark, because of Rentai's words, or because of a faceless smile, because of Naruko's jealous question, or because even earlier, even we couldn't learned of their encounter.
When the words "Super Peace Busters" were engraved in the secret base, they never imagined that there would be a day when they couldn't say "goodbye" frankly to each other. Mian Ma's death was like a boulder, blocking the road that was enough for the five of them to move forward together. So they could only flee from the narrow fork with sadness that they dared not face.
✿ Not only time but also memories can’t be escaped.
At the beginning of our long life, there is always a period when we don’t have to go to school, have no worries, play with the children of the neighbors all day, and sometimes get dirty and get scolded by our mother. , but I also secretly think that a guy is in the same situation as me now, and I can't help but snicker. Those guys we call childhood playmates, and the label of childhood seems to be limited, and when we get away from childhood, it seems that we get away from them. Their names, their looks, the adventures they've had with them, the jokes they've shared, the bentos they've exchanged, it's all blurred somewhere in my heart. After seeing each other for many years, it has become difficult to recognize each other, so even a greeting has become a luxury. Finally, we were separated in the vast sea of people like this.
If the death of Mianma is the superficial sadness of Huaming, the disintegration of Super Peace Busters is a dull and dull feeling, which is accumulated in the heart and difficult to solve.
On the wall still hangs the certificate of commendation from many years ago, but the young boy who was shining at that time is now languid and desolate with his long messy hair, isolated from the world. Like a lost store, a lost postbox, time erases those things that we thought would be stationed for a long time, and we run forward without looking back, leaving only you and me on the side of the road with a numb face.
They have been washed away by time, and since the accident ten years ago, they have put away their childhood and let go of their dreams, and the distance between them has become farther and farther. From being acquainted to being a stranger is a regret that everyone is unwilling to experience. It silently extracts a part of your life and bursts of emptiness. That's why the reunion is so precious, even if it's just taking out the ancient game console, playing the gold version of Pokemon that has been eliminated for a long time, and fighting hard to get a rare monster, this process is enough to make people Emotionally. The time between them has become a turbulent river under their feet. The common memory of each other is the only trestle floating on the water. As long as you walk forward, you can still meet on the bridge.
But sometimes, the bridge is too daunting to step on.
Humans are creatures that will do everything in their power to disguise themselves. Weakness keeps us from facing our past, as if forcing ourselves to be someone else can escape the shackles of memory. It seems that everyone has changed, but in the end, no one has changed. Rentai, who issued the card against his will, and Xueji, who was indeed issued a card, these two teenagers who blamed the death of Nianma on their own were stuck in their memories and couldn't get out, so one gave up on himself and the other deceived others.
The broken snow set makes people more concerned than Jinta. Maybe fate was unfair to him from the beginning, although he was already good enough, there was an even better Ren Tai by his side. He is not as dazzling as he is, without his leadership qualities, and even the unicorns he caught are inferior to him. So it seems logical that the girl I like favors Rentai more. On the day of the accident, Mianma didn't accept his hairpin. Ten years later, she still hasn't appeared in front of him. How could she be as proud as Xueji to endure such an ending again and again. He put on a maxi skirt and struggled to prove that the face size was not an exclusive item that belonged only to Renta. Many people say that he is a pervert, but in my eyes, Xueji is just a beast who doesn't want to show his wounds, protecting his poor self-esteem. He was envious of Ren Tai, in the past and now. Because no matter what kind of degenerate Ren Tai becomes, the face code chooses is still him.
Fortunately, there are cranes in the snow set.
He has been watching him since childhood and saw through him. Her calmness and tenderness will always stay behind Xue Ji, he is stuck in the past and can't extricate himself, she will spend all her years to accompany him to the end. But Tsuruko is not as strong or even indifferent as she appears. Whether it's silently swallowing the jealous slanders of other girls, or watching Xueji go crazy for face, those injuries are like needles, poking fine wounds on her body, she just doesn't say, doesn't cry, or even, She just has low self-esteem.
I only hope that after their hearts are completely opened, the two people who are still living in that different dimension can truly look at themselves and each other frankly, and then warm each other. ✿ In this small Chichibu city,
the name of the bond or the future held tightly in their hands has pictures of their past wherever they go.
The bridge that we ran across, the shrine where we played hide-and-seek, the secret base where the manifesto was engraved, the traces of the super-peaceful Busters being active are still vivid in our minds. Although they can't fight for time or escape memories, the bond between them has never weakened. They just put it aside and avoided it.
Nian Ying's return was to throw a gravel on the lake and a magnet into the iron filings. She disturbed their daily life, and once again gathered the ultra-peaceful BUSTERS.
Everyone thinks that Nianma's wish is to set off a homemade firework, even if the ending tells us that the wish is more simple and foolish (!). But I am always willing to believe that the wish of the face code is that the super peaceful BUSTERS can be together as before. Let's face the future together, even without her in that future.
The last hide and seek, I always thought it was too hypocritical. But if you think of everyone's relief after they confessed their dark history, that they have finally found an outlet for their backlogged emotions for so many years, and the feeling of seeing each other after a long time but having to part again, it is also harmless to shout a few times.
After the dusk when the face code gradually disappears, a new morning will finally come. She ended with the summer, and they will continue with great hope into the future. Although there is no face code in the super peaceful BUSTERS ten years later, she will still be by their side. The sky is her blue eyes, the clouds are her long white dress, and the voice of her words that will never stop, it will be a rain of cicadas in the summer forest.
