Chapter 54. The Child Lost on Halloween Night Arrives Riding on a Rainbow Seal
Chapter 54. The Child Lost on Halloween Night Arrives Riding on a Rainbow Seal
Beneath the moon, a white dragon with outstretched wings and a giant of light clasp hands tightly together. The moonlight gilds their clasped hands with a silvery glow, and their elongated silhouettes on the plain resemble illustrations on the title page of a fairy tale book.
"Alas... it's a real shame I'm not a poet or a photographer, otherwise I would definitely win the Pulitzer Prize."
Hori said in a daze that even the members of the Victory Team were shocked by this scene, not to mention the children gathered around them.
"marvelous!"
"Long live!"
After a moment of silence, cheers and shouts erupted, reaching the heavens. Children screamed, jumped, and celebrated their hero's victory.
This Halloween night was truly fantastical. We tasted the candy of a witch straight out of a fairy tale, stepped into a gloomy and terrifying pumpkin house, were attacked by a giant monster, and were in despair when a giant of light and a white dragon descended from the sky, vanquishing evil and setting off fireworks in the sky.
This scene probably only exists in dreams, right?
Not to mention the heroes fighting side by side, their hands clasped tightly under the moonlight—this is a romance unique to children.
Even if tonight passes, even if a month, a year, ten years pass, even if they reach old age, this scene will be deeply engraved in their minds and will be a treasure for a lifetime.
Inside the cockpit of the White Dragon, Boss Jin stretched comfortably.
Daigo started off quite well, but his performance afterwards was a bit hard to watch. However, unexpectedly, Haku's appearance made the show even more entertaining. This is probably a case of an unintended consequence leading to unexpected success.
Before becoming a capitalist, Boss Jin was a kind-hearted child who also enjoyed watching tokusatsu shows. Sometimes, children had difficulty distinguishing between good and bad plots, and the DVDs they rented the most were those featuring Ultraman the most. If two Ultraman appeared in an episode, it was considered worth the ticket price.
This is a collaboration between Ultraman and a super robot! Which child could handle that? Which child could withstand such a test?
Judging from the happy looks on the children's faces, Boss Jin knew that the performance had been a great success.
However, the most intense climax of the drama has passed, and it must have a perfect ending.
Jin Yi pulled out the card that Kiranbo had dropped and kicked Belial in his head.
【Kiranbo, the Extradimensional Being - Space Control】
【Kiranbo, the Extradimensional Being – Space Control】
Boss Jin is lucky; while his ability to create clones and teleport is good, it is still slightly inferior to his spatial control ability.
"Hey, Old Bei, we've got the tickets to the R'lyeh Ruins, shouldn't you say something?"
"What exactly are you trying to do, kid?"
Beria responded impatiently.
Jin Yi didn't say much, he just shook the golden chains wrapped around Bei Laohei's body, everything was understood without words.
The cards produced by the Ultimate Battle Device inherently contain power, but to perform such large-scale spatial operations, sufficient power is required. Boss Jin is just a powerless Earthling, and the power contained in the cards alone is not enough.
"..."
"Old Berlusconi, didn't you want to rule the galaxy and be the emperor of the entire universe? So many of your subjects are watching you!"
Jin Yi jokingly remarked that the children's grateful gazes were so intense that even Galactron's hard shell couldn't block them.
"Could it be that the future Galactic Emperor... is actually such a petty person...?! He can't even handle a child, tsk tsk tsk..."
"roll!"
Beria responded to Boss Jin with a furious curse, followed by the familiar stinging pain. As if in retaliation, Beria kicked Boss Jin hard twice.
"...Don't bother me with such trivial matters in the future..."
The chains trembled, but did not break on their own.
"What an insincere guy."
The last post-war conversation was merely a probe. This time, Boss Jin deliberately avoided the topic of the Land of Light, so Reiblood's remnant soul shouldn't be disturbed by it.
Moreover, Boss Jin understands very well what rulers want. Becoming a tyrant and using power to oppress the people, watching them tremble and submit at his feet, is indeed very fulfilling. But what rulers want even more is the people's heartfelt respect and worship.
Regardless of one's stance on light or darkness, the highest satisfaction is self-satisfaction.
"Doing all sorts of unnecessary things..."
Belial's mutterings faded into the darkness.
The card in Jin Yi's hand emitted a gentle white light.
--------
Tokyo, Setagaya Ward, residential house.
The Halloween atmosphere permeated the streets and alleys of Tokyo, but outside this house, there was no festive atmosphere at all. There were no ghost decorations or dim pumpkin lanterns, and the carp streamers on the flagpole drooped. You could faintly hear sobbing inside the house.
While not everyone can find joy on Halloween, crying is still quite out of place. Surprisingly, the neighbors did not criticize the residents but instead showed compassion.
A couple and their lively, adorable little boy once lived in this house. Life was simple, but happy. But on Halloween two years ago, everything was shattered.
The child taken away by the witch, the destruction of the family, the laughter that once filled the house disappeared, and the little boy playing football could no longer be seen outside. After the immense pain, the couple continued to live as usual, but only in the dead of night when no one was around would they cry.
"Knock knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door.
The crying stopped. The wife wiped away her tears, straightened her appearance, and the husband opened the door with listless steps.
Was it a prank? After opening the door, the person who knocked was nowhere to be seen.
"dad?"
A timid voice came from beneath her.
"——"
Having received no response from her husband for too long, the wife followed him.
"——"
"Dad...Mom?"
Without saying a word or making any unnecessary movements, the couple tightly embraced their precious treasure that they had just regained.
Boss Jin was wrong about one thing. When people are overjoyed, what they gain may not just be laughter, but also tears, tears of joy.
No longer bitter, but sweet as honey.
The wounds inflicted by the witch Kiranbo may still need some time to heal, but for now, they only want to peacefully enjoy the tranquility and happiness of the moment.
When their tears had dried, the couple looked in the direction their child was pointing—
At the end of the rainbow-shaped passage, gentle moonlight shines, and a giant of light and a white dragon gaze upon this small yet sublime happiness.
This is a miracle unique to Halloween.
Such miracles have occurred all over the world, with countless tearful parents opening their doors to find their lost children back in their arms.
They gazed together at the giant and the white dragon at the end of the passage, and the white dragon and the giant looked back at them with the same gentle gaze.
The Rainbow Bridge blooms from the card, a passage connecting countless broken families across dimensions. All happiness leads to one destination, where the white dragon and the giant watch over everything.
The children who got lost on Halloween night have returned on the Rainbow Bridge.
P.S. Actually, Boss Jin is better at promoting religion than the Mephisto aliens.
