113: The Last Miracle of the Twentieth Century
The audience was moved to tears.
Nakamura Cho did not finish the song, but only hummed the line repeatedly in a daze.
If it's a dream, please don't let it wake up...
Nakamura Cho stopped singing.
"Yuichi."
Her voice was so soft he could barely hear it; he dropped his guitar and rushed over.
"Butterfly? What are you talking about?"
Nakamura Cho's eyes had long since lost focus.
"Yuichi, the time I spent with you was truly, truly blissful, like a dream."
"If possible, I really want to keep dreaming this dream."
"Stop talking, please! Didn't you want to sing? You haven't finished yet! Get up and sing!"
Uesugi Yuichi pleaded desperately.
But Nakamura Cho could no longer hear.
"Yuichi, after I die, don't forget me, or I... I won't let you off the hook."
"I will definitely forget you, so you must come back for revenge!"
Uesugi Yuichi hugged her and cried out hoarsely.
Nakamura Cho stretched her hand out towards the sky.
"Light..."
"I saw a spot of light."
Upon Uesugi Yuichi looked around and seemed to have indeed seen light.
These points of light were warm, surrounding the two of them.
This illusory and beautiful scene also appeared on the screen.
Surrounded by the sphere of light, Nakamura Cho revealed a wide smile.
"Yuichi, I... I really feel like..."
"The happiest person in the world---"
She closed her eyes.
Nakamura Cho passed away at the age of twenty-two.
Uesugi Yuichi held her and fell into a long silence.
He touched her face.
With her eyes closed, Nakamura Cho looked as if she were fast asleep.
Uesugi Yuichi said hoarsely, "This won't do. Didn't we agree to sing? How can you stop singing halfway through?"
He muttered to himself, "Really. You've always been so self-centered, always making a fool of me. This time is no different; you've gone even further, talking to yourself and leaving me all alone in this world."
"You've always been the one taking responsibility, leaving me to clean up your messes all the time."
Uesugi Yuichi carefully placed Nakamura Cho back on the bed, as if she were a fragile item.
He picked up the guitar he had just left behind.
In the cold room, he sang alone the song that Nakamura Cho hadn't finished singing earlier.
"If this is a dream, please don't wake up."
"If this is a dream, please don't wake up."
The time we spent together will become stars forever.
See? The important people in your life are right beside you.
"I just want to sing this love song to you."
See? The important people in your life are right beside you.
"I just want to sing this love song to you."
ほら---
ほら---
ほら---
The song of love---
Uesugi Yuichi finished singing the song, he wore a heartbreaking smile.
He said to Nakamura Cho, "Listen, I've finished singing for you."
Goodnight, Butterfly.
Uesugi Yuichi put down his guitar and slowly rested his head on Nakamura Cho's chest.
"And so, I have nothing left..."
He murmured.
Just when the audience thought the episode was over, suddenly...
P. S. 1: We've moved to a surreal city~
P. S. 2: I'm answering this question because I've been banned from speaking.
The recurring question about the relationship between the animation content and the main story is still fresh in everyone's minds after over a hundred chapters. Can't you see this is the main story?
I did a survey about the script length, and most people didn't fill it in, which means they don't care, right? It's the result of the minority obeying the majority.
You don't need to fill it out now, because the script is almost finished. Another questionnaire will be released after the script is completely completed.
Anyway, I gave you the choice. It doesn't matter if you don't use me, so just do as I please. I don't care if you suddenly offer suggestions.
Section 126, Chapter 113: The Last Miracle of the Twentieth Century
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out:
"That's not true! Ms. Uesugi! You still have me!"
Unable to stop crying, Yuzuki ignored the fact that Uesugi Yuichi couldn't hear her and just kept screaming repeatedly:
You still have me!
"Me too!"
The image on the television screen was distorted, and her voice disappeared into the distortion.
"...?"
Yuzuki Sasaki woke up from her sleep in the cold winter wind.
She looked up, staring blankly at the swaying curtains and her surroundings.
This is Uesugi Yuichi's current home.
She's back.
Hikari-chan stood innocently beside her, watching her.
"Uh, I..."
Yuzuki realized what was happening and looked at Uesugi Yuichi and Nakamura Cho's belongings.
Tears were already flowing uncontrollably.
Alien Baby Hikari-chan, Episode 22.
I don't know how many tissues I used up on the night episode 22 of Alien Baby Hikari-chan aired.
The perfect synergy between the music and visuals at the end, in particular, pushed the already tear-jerking story to its peak.
The story of Uesugi Yuichi and Nakamura Cho is as heart-wrenching as everyone imagined.
The sweeter the beginning, the more heartbreaking the ending.
But after crying, I felt a sense of purification.
Shuya felt that perhaps this was healing.
The impact of the episode featuring the Alien Baby Hikari-chan doesn't need time to develop; it was already under everyone's attention.
In fact, Inoue Hikoo was under a lot of pressure in this episode.
It was eagerly anticipated by everyone.
It was known from the beginning that Nakamura Cho would die; there was no suspense in the plot.
Therefore, everyone is focusing on how Nakamura Cho's death will happen.
If things go wrong, the reputation that Alien Baby Hikari-chan has worked so hard to build will suffer a lot.
Because audience expectations are so high, even if this episode is rated eight out of ten, the viewing experience will be a six.
Inoue Hikoo was indeed talented; he led the company's staff and delivered a satisfactory result.
If we were to quote Wu Ping, a renowned editor at Great Hua, it would be:
"Using every means possible and through outstanding performances, they transformed an ordinary story into something extraordinary."
He said, "Looking at all four episodes of the Alien Baby Hikari-chan series, the plot isn't particularly outstanding. There's nothing bizarre or unconventional about it; it's just a typical romance story. But why is it so captivating?"
"I think it can be described as 'the most exquisite ordinariness.' Inoue Hikoo took an ordinary love story and, with the most down-to-earth approach, brought it to life."
"It's like picking up roadside stones and piecing them together to create an artistic model. In this way, every ordinary stone looks sparkling and dreamlike."
"Making an ordinary story captivating is more difficult than anything else."
"Uesugi Yuichi and Nakamura Cho, childhood sweethearts who supported each other through thick and thin, remained inseparable until death. I believe this is director Inoue Hikoo's subtle and implicit satire of the increasingly unrestrained views on love and marriage in contemporary society. We should..."
Then Wu Ping began to over-interpret, leading to a lengthy editorial.
Seeing this, Shuya shouted again, "Stop your overthinking! He's just trying to make people cry! It's not as complicated as you're thinking!"
But in any case, the popularity of Alien Baby Hikari-chan has reached new heights.
It has broken out of the niche circle of ACG and entered the mainstream.
From the previous discussion on family relationships regarding "running away from home" to the love relationship between "Uesugi Yuichi and Nakamura Cho".
Everything about this shows that it's an animation with a clear concept.
It's not the kind of anime that panders to otaku, nor is it the kind that only focuses on entertainment and ultimately leaves no lasting impression on people.
It's the kind of story that requires you to calm down and read it attentively.
Generally speaking, this kind of animation wouldn't become this popular, but those who have seen it would consider it a masterpiece.
But by a twist of fate, it became a hit.
But who cares? Logic is only needed in stories, not in reality.
The fire Alien Baby Hikari-chan is irreversible.
At this moment, Inoue Hikoo announced some news.
Alien Baby Hikari-chan will be releasing a second season immediately, the time...
It's scheduled for release this October!
The news caused a nationwide uproar.
"Great! I thought I'd have to wait a long time!"
