"......"

He bowed his head wordlessly.

It was a memory he would never want to look back on.

The tragic scene of that former friend who turned into a monster just surfaced in his mind without warning...

"...Old sir."

Takayama Gamu, who was touched by Hirano's story, couldn't help asking softly, seeing the sad expression on his face.

"This result is really bad... Are you okay?"

Without answering, Hirano still lowered his head.

After a long time, a wry smile appeared on his face. Then, he looked at his palms that were beginning to wither, and said slowly:

"It's okay...Sinners like us who develop bacterial weapons, such an ending is our retribution—"

"After all...our country has been defeated, our country launched an evil war of aggression, and we are also one of the culprits...the fact that there is no reason to shirk it."

"What has been done is done....I don't want to ask others to forgive the crimes of the two of us...so, I followed Kondo and accompanied him in front of this swamp..."

"Um....."

"Back then, Kondo killed all the scientific researchers except me... After destroying all the bacterial weapons, he has been hiding in this swamp and never came out again... So, I also Just stay here, touch and accompany him here..."

"I see...."

Gao Shan Gameng suddenly realized and nodded, then looked at Kondo:

"Then, there is a question I've been wanting to ask...Old man, why does Kondo respond to the music box in your hand?"

After listening to Takayama My Dream, I asked about this topic.

Hirano sighed sadly, his expression looked a little lonely...

"...Because Kondo is my friend."

"I failed to protect what he cherished...this music box is already his only emotional sustenance——"

"Besides, this is the last consolation I can give him."

"...Old sir, why did you say that suddenly?"

After this short chat, Gao Shan Gameng, who is a member of xig, has already learned many facts.

However... the most critical point, he has not learned from it yet.

"Alas...Actually, the matter of the music box is not such a tortuous matter."

Hirano spoke slowly, looking at Gao Shan Gaimeng's expression, he couldn't help feeling bitter:

"...Do you know that Kondo has a daughter?"

"Kondo used to have a daughter...named Chie, she was really cute."

"Because his wife passed away a long time ago...so, for Kondo, Chie is the most important existence in his dim life—"

"This music box was given to Zhihui by him...so, in the face of his lovely daughter, he can slowly regain some of his sanity as a human being."

"However...after being transformed by those soldiers, his ugly body can no longer hold his daughter."

"So, he has been hiding under the swamp, watching his daughter grow up day by day-for him, this is already the greatest comfort."

As Hirano said, such a picture unconsciously appeared in his mind:

On the trail full of cherry blossoms, Kondo is playing with his lovely daughter, holding hands, under the cherry tree...

The breeze blows, and the cherry blossoms are scattered.

The past without war, the past like a dream... After Kondo became a monster, it became history.

And no matter how beautiful the past and memories... After all, they are still as short as a dream.

The last bit of hope in Kondo's humanity was completely shattered in an instant——

The war has entered the final stage.

Because of an enemy air raid, Chie was caught in the fire——

The beautiful young life is like the cherry blossoms scattered all over the place, beautiful, but fleeting in an instant.

"Kondo... Kondo!"

Forced to participate in the front-line war, with gauze wrapped around his head and seriously injured Hirano, holding the ashes of Kondo's daughter and the broken music box, he knelt down at the edge of the swamp, weeping in pain:

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry! I failed to protect Chie..."

"Forgive me... please forgive me!"

At that moment, Hirano clearly remembered that the alienated Kondo under the swamp let out a tragic wail.

The last hope of human nature was shattered, and Kondo could only live in the pain of his own crimes and the loss of his beloved daughter by the war, and survived as a monster in a daze.

67. Ultraman in the sunset

"Crack."

The music box was gently closed by Hirano.

He raised his head, looked at Gaoshan Womeng, and said in a hoarse and low voice:

"That's... roughly the way it is."

"Kondo, who has become a monster, cannot die no matter what method is used because of the alienation of his body—"

"Therefore... I decided to stay with Kondo in this swamp until my sinful life is completely over."

"Mr. Gao Shan..."

Looking at the mountain with frowning eyebrows at this moment, I dream:

"Kondo and I are both sinful people—"

"Our research has brought too many evil consequences to the world...I also understand that my own bacterial weapons have harmed the people of many countries...war criminals like us are not qualified to beg for forgiveness from others— —”

"So....let's just stay here... Kondo hasn't hurt anyone for so many years, it's just that lately... Kondo has become cranky for some reason, but trust me, He's not some monster..."

Hirano's voice was full of pleading.

He didn't ask for anything, nor did he make trouble for no reason.

There were tears in the eyes of the old man, and his old voice was trembling, explaining everything for the dream of Gaoshan at this moment——

With trembling hands, he placed the music box on the ground.

He looks at the mountains and I dream:

"Judging from my old and feeble appearance...letting Kondo find peace for a while is the only way I can redeem myself..."

“…”

After listening to Hirano's words.

Gao Shan Gaimeng's expression revealed a complex expression.

He lowered his head, his eyes fixed on his toes, not daring to look at Hirano.

He already knew why Kei Kondo became so irritable, knowing that he would drag the detective into the swamp——

All of this....I'm afraid it was caused by the underground piercing projectile projected by Hiroyuki Hirai, the commander of the Guard's Pacific Rim Force, in order to destroy the monsters.

The underground penetrating bomb is a kind of nuclear weapon, and it is a weapon of mass destruction that is expressly prohibited in international conventions.

It has side effects such as destroying the surface and causing radiation pollution... If it is because the underground penetrating bomb affects Kondo, it is not impossible...

"Because of Kondo's current state...I don't know what to do now..."

Hirano's voice was full of despair.

"..."

Hearing this, Gaoshan Imeng fell silent.

.................

Pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad.

"Sure enough, it must be very painful to say these words...Mr. Hirano."

Watching the video, Hirano, who has always been with the mutated Kondo all this time, tears welled up in Yanzhu's eyes:

"What a powerful guy... Amitabha, I hope the Buddha can save these two lonely souls."

....................

Doraemon world.

"It turned out that this is the case!"

After reading the past of Hirano and Kondo, Nobi Nobita's eyes were filled with tears for a moment.

"Damn... so the history in the history books is all lies? Doraemon!"

....................

Like the reaction of countless worlds, I dreamed of the mountains, and was silent for a while

After a while, there was a hard swallowing sound in his throat.

However.....

I haven't waited for the mountain to dream, and I can say even a word——

The whole land shook and roared at this moment!

"?!"

Gaoshan was startled suddenly in my dream.

He subconsciously looked up into the distance——

I saw a huge shadow suddenly appeared in the swamp not far away!

Against the background of the gradually dimming sky and earth, such a huge and infiltrating monster just stood there, roaring mournfully, which sounded extremely sad...

"..."

Looking at the distance, the monster is enough to cover the sky and the sun.

The old man Hirano's expression froze for a moment:

"Kin...Kondo?!"

In Hirano's shocked look.

Gaoshan Womeng looked at the monster not far away, with a slightly trembling voice:

"This is... a gigantic Tzikela?!"

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar spread across the entire sky.

That huge body, like a mountain, looks extremely majestic in the gradually darkened world. This existence, like a troll, is standing crazily in the swamp, as if roaring up to the sky, or like Weeping mournfully.

"....."

The old man Hirano's eyelids twitched violently, and a kind of extreme sadness appeared on his face.

And standing beside him, Gaoshan Womeng, who had been silent all the time, unconsciously rolled a bead of sweat on his forehead.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Kondo, who has become a swamp monster like Tsikkela, has absorbed the harmful substances of the underground penetrating bomb——

At this moment, he...has become gigantic, and his rationality as a human being is gradually disappearing...

Xig, who has experienced many battles, quickly drew out his weapon when he saw the huge monster at this moment!

They all understand.... If Tzikela's behavior at this moment is not stopped, then the consequences... will be disastrous!

"Stop...stop!"

At this time, Hirano knelt down beside the Xig team members:

"Don't kill him...! Kondo is not a monster!"
