Inhuman Vest Alliance

A sob.

Although it is a suppressed, weak voice.

But Katsuhiko, who is a guardian robot cat, almost immediately analyzed that it was 'the cry of a child'.The age range is 4-6 years old.

Katsuhiko thought for a while, and instead of rushing to get close to the crying child hiding behind the flower bed, he untied the rope of the hydrogen balloon tied to his wrist.

Yuan held the balloon in his hand, and handed it in front of the crying child.

"Don't cry don't cry."

As Katsuhiko said, his voice was non-aggressive, gentle and harmless, which is unique to monitoring machines, "What happened, why is he here alone?"

The child who buried his entire face in his knees raised his eyes in a daze when he heard the voice.

The sun is shining brightly, the sawtooth of the leaf shadows are melting in it, and the clouds in the sky are like golden mist.The painting of Doraemon is light blue like the sky.

"Doraemon?" The child carefully took the Pokémon balloon in Doraemon's hand, and then slowly buried himself in front of the light blue Doraemon, rubbing his cheek against Katsuhiko's side.

"I can't find my parents, but it doesn't matter. As long as I don't run around at this time, I will be fine."

He wiped away the tears himself.

But after seeing that face and being hugged, the person who was stunned had become Katsuhiko himself.The doraemon stood there blankly.

——Because, that was the young Xia Youjie.

It is different from him when he was a teenager and a young man.

The voice is immature, and the face of the baby is fat, but it seems to have similar personality traits to the later ones.

The child who suppressed his crying when he was young will become forbearing in the future. He will eat the curse spirit jade that smells like 'the rag that wiped the vomit' countless times, and he will not tell anyone.

The child who wipes away his tears and says it’s okay will digest the ever-expanding emotional and psychological darkness alone in the future until he can no longer bear it.

look at him...

Saying 'I can't find my parents', 'It's okay', 'It's fine if I don't run around'... When I said such things, it didn't look like ten years later, I said 'It's just a bitter summer'.

Childhood is the epitome of the future.

Even though I clearly understand in my heart that the future has been changed...

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to be so sensible." Yuanyuan placed his hand on the top of Xia Youjie's hair, who was only 5 years old, and the robot cat squatted down so that his eyes were at the same level as that of the child.

"Cry when you want to cry, smile when you want to laugh, and say you are afraid if you can't find your parents."

"Be happy to the fullest, in the life you only live once." Sheng Yano dreamed of the future, and at the end of that summer, he left Xia Youjie's farewell to Xia Youjie in the report of "Research on Human Emotional Energy Conversion" letter.

[You Only Live Once. ]

Have fun!Life only lived once!

"Thank you." The child nodded very politely, but held the doraemon's Yuanyuan hand tightly and refused to let go, "But I'm already five years old, so I must be sensible."

"Hmm...Okay!" Sheng Yan hesitated and let go, "Then, now let me help you find your parents."

After all, in this big world.

All kinds of countries, all kinds of nationalities, each person is a different individual, has a life that is completely his own.

"You must belong to yourself completely." Shengyan Omeng squatted in front of the child, and gently patted the top of his hair with Yuanyuan's hands.

"En!" Xia Youjie didn't refute this time, the child raised his energetic voice, and he seriously responded to the 'Doraemon' in his eyes.

"Then! Look at me!" After receiving the response, Sheng Yan was as cheerful as a child. He put his Yuanyuan hand into the four-dimensional pocket, touched it, and took out a bee sealed in a capsule, "Qiang Qiang— —Help bee! By the way, it’s the latest version 2.0.”

"It's amazing! Doraemon!" The five-year-old child easily believed that Doraemon was a real doraemon, but the difference was that it finally came to him.

"It's great." Shengyan Omeng had a smug face, and his tail shook slightly, "From now on, just like this..."

Katsuhiko Omen pulled open the capsule, and the bees sleeping inside woke up because of the release of the vacuum, and opened their transparent wings.

"Help bee, please help Jie find his parents."

[Helping Bee 2.0]

——Compared with the previous generation, the R&D company has carried out updated and iteratively optimized products.

Compared with the "accidental" and "unexpected joy" of the original version, the 2.0 version will bring help to people more directly, and the purpose of research and development is also straight to the point.But perhaps because of the lack of fun, the sales were not as good as the first edition.

The bright yellow bees fluttered their wings, brushed against the sun, and took off slowly, in the air, under the shadow of the night.

The bee paused slightly, as if waiting for the moment when Xiao Xia Youjie would follow.

"Go." Sheng Yan pushed slightly with his round hand, Xia Youjie, who was only a 5-year-old child, "You have to follow the help bee carefully, but it doesn't matter if you don't follow, because it will stop and wait for you... Just like now."

Buzz buzz, helper bees wait in the air.

some moment...

The young Xia Youjie almost thought that... it was not a bee that stopped there, but a more beautiful and more short-lived creature.

Like butterflies, or hummingbirds.

As a result, the seemingly ordinary and ordinary summer day also becomes gorgeous in an instant, magnificent and charming.

The child with black hair growing slightly beside his ears turned his head towards 'Doraemon', and the moment their eyes met, time overlapped in their sights.

It is not difficult for Xia Youjie, who is still a child, to see what the future will look like, and Jiang Yuan Shengyan, who is no longer Chubby but a robot cat.

——like this, we are beyond recognition.

All mocked by time.

The young Xia Youjie couldn't understand the gaze from the other party, he felt that he should know the other party... so he followed the child's instinct to ask.

"Can you...can you be my Doraemon?"

Katsuhiko saw the yearning look in his eyes when he was young, so he smiled back.

"Not yet." Sheng Yan didn't treat Xia Youjie like a child, but said very seriously, tenderly and cruelly: "But in the future, we will definitely meet again."

"Really!" The child's tone was eager, "Really, will we see you again?"

Young and immature instincts, children are the existence closest to God, Sheng Yan sees the cause and effect entangled in Xia Youjie... ready to move.

"If you believe so firmly." On the face of Shengyan Omeng, the doraemon is always cheerful and bright in the poster promotional picture.

"Then we will see you again."

Just until then.

Maybe it is no longer the doraemon, but a notorious evil beast in a certain universe, a bad thing that deceives the girl's wishes and desires.

What about later?

We will see the last moment when the holy angel beast dissolves into the light.

Knowing nothing about the future, the ignorant child waved his little hand at the doraemon through the light and shadow cut by the shade of the tree.

He said, "Goodbye, Doraemon."

"Actually, it's Doraemon, but it's not a big problem." Katsuhiko Omen muttered, then looked up at him with a blessing in his eyes.

"My beloved little child."

The guardian doraemon waved his hands at the young Xia Youjie, calling him like the witches once sang their beloved children, "May you be upright, brave and kind."

To be free forever, own yourself.

As the Doraemon said, he looked at the back of the short, baby-fat child who was leaving, and another view formed in his eyes.

Katsuhiko sees children who will continue to grow up.

He is good at patience since he was young, and gradually becomes forbearing with age, and finally grows up to be gentle and generous, and grows old with time.

Seeing him like this, Katsuhiko smiled.

"Goodbye." He said this to the child, and he was saying his last goodbye to the future self.

The end of never forgetting each other may be never seeing each other... maybe.

As soon as the young Xia Youjie saw the Doraemon waving, he turned around contentedly and followed the flight path of the Helping Bee.

But he seemed to hear the wind blown voice saying 'goodbye'.

[be polite]

Adhering to this instinct, 5-year-old Xia Youjie looked behind him.

……

After turning around, the Doraemon was no longer in sight.

Because it is summer, there will not even be footprints.Everything that happened was like a summer dream, a mirage that vanishes at the slightest touch.

A brief encounter like a miracle.

The bee flapped its transparent wings and flew forward.Up and down, fast and slow.

Sheng Yan, who was hiding behind the big tree, squatted down slowly listening to the footsteps of the child leaving. He saw ants in the soil moving, and crickets jumping in the grass.

——[We met a long time ago]

After my death and before you grew up.

The flight trajectory of the helper bee is like mist, crossing the summer sky, breaking through the confusion of the road ahead, and leading the children who are afraid of being left behind by their parents forever home.

Sheng Yan adjusted his state slightly, and secretly followed the child who had left from a distance.

He is a guardian robot cat for children, who wants to watch the children grow up until the moment when they are no longer needed.

Therefore, like now, we should actually watch Xia Youjie return to his parents.

——That's all.

Far away, looking into the distance from the corner of the eye.

In the grid wide-area field of view extended by the special field of vision, Shengyan saw the bees leading him in front of Xia Youjie, the bustling crowd, the smell of food, and the mascot in doll clothes.

And, not far away, Xia Youjie's parents were brought over by a mixed-race child who was about eight or nine years old.

Seeing Xia You's family, Sheng Yan kept thanking the child, and got his flustered response and a slightly shy smile.

[Falling Valley Zero]

Real name Fuguya Rei, later alias Amuro Toru, served as an undercover police officer to enter a large criminal organization, code-named Bourbon.

add another point……

Still a child now.

Doraemon...or Ehara Katsuhiko, he saw the future of 'One Survivor'.

Tombstones, mobile phones, unanswered text messages and empty numbers.Flowers for you.

18 years is really a long time.

But for Katsuhiko Ehara, it was too short-lived. As a guardian robot cat, he couldn't accompany the children to grow up.

This is really... a pity.

But maybe it wasn't too bad, Katsuhiko remembered one thing.

Katsuhiko had already seen Matsuda Jinpei who went to the security scene when he first became a 'Kubi' and disappeared as a template for 'Ewara Katsuki'.

As a young man, he was an excellent policeman.

Doraemon turned around.

Seeing the sweaty and panting Matsuda Jinpei.

The young face is full of anxiety——

"Doraemon! Found you!"
