Chapter 14: Training the Infinite

Souta had never needed to train before.

His abilities responded purely on instinct — driven by love, fear, and the need to protect.

But now? Now he wants mastery.

Because he has a mission:

To make the world see Happy.

He creates a training ground — a boundless, timeless space compressed into a 10-tatami room, layered with stacked dimensions of reality.

Inside, he deconstructs himself.

Rediscovers his grasp of space, time, and determination.

He learns to reshape belief — the very fabric that determines what can and can't be perceived.

Aqua observes him in silence. Ruby cheers from the sidelines. Ai brews tea and strokes his hair after each collapse.

Happy waits — quiet, patient, hopeful.

Souta uncovers the truth: the human mind doesn't reject Happy because he's invisible — it rejects him because he was born from a love far beyond human understanding.

"He wasn't created from biology, or memory, or even imagination.

He was born from grief that chose to become hope."

So Souta shifts his focus.

Not just to bend reality.

But to teach the world how to believe in the impossible.

He chooses to unveil the truth during a major broadcast.

Ruby and Aqua perform at a prestigious festival — the idol and the actor, radiant on stage together.

Souta arrives near the finale, introduced only as:

"The youngest Hoshino. A prodigy known for keeping to the shadows."

He steps up to the mic.

The audience holds its breath. Millions tune in online.

He inhales deeply. His voice quivers.

"There's someone I'd like you to meet."

"You won't believe it — not right away. And that's okay.

Belief is something we learn, together."

He glances offstage.

"Come on, Happy."

Silence.

Then — footsteps. Gentle. Measured.

A small figure enters.

A teddy bear, walking upright, waving.

Half the audience sees a puppet. Half see a glitch.

But slowly — as minds adjust — eyes widen. Gasps spread.

"...Is that real?"

"It moved."

"Wait — is it… smiling?"

Then Happy speaks, his voice filling every speaker:

"Hi. I'm Happy. I'm Souta's brother."

And for the first time in human history…

The impossible is believed.

The media erupts.

"Talking Teddy Bear Goes Viral!"

"The Hoshino Family's Mysterious New Member"

"AI? Magic? Mass Illusion?"

Scientists study it. Spiritual leaders reflect. Influencers try to replicate it.

But no explanation fits.

Because the truth is simple:

Love made something real.

Souta faces the press, calm and sincere.

"I'm not a magician. I'm not a god.

I'm just a boy who wanted to protect the people he loves.

And I gave life to a soul — and he gave it back."

Not everyone accepts it.

Protests ignite.

Religious groups condemn it.

Online forums call it a shared delusion, AI trickery, or next-gen CGI.

Souta doesn't argue.

He only says:

"You don't have to believe. But I do. And that's enough."

Happy hugs him — smiling through it all.
