To Your Eternity (不滅のあなたへ)

In the beginning,

it was an orb.

Over time,

the orb took on many shapes

in order to experience various kinds of stimulation.

It could take on any form it wanted.

It could produce anything it wanted.

After it became a human being,

it had one dream.

And that dream was to live in a peaceful world.

PEACEFUL WORLD

Attention, students.

It's clean up time.

Please go to your assigned areas and begin weeding.

Thank you.

You know there's a theory about these roots.

It says they all connect to a huge tree

in the ancient western city of Renril.

And that a messenger of God

encircled the whole world with them.

These holy roots protect the world

from the darkness that once ruled it.

Right on time! Another informative,

cleanup monologue from the vice president

of the Occult Research Club.

It's called the Handicrafts Club. Got it?

Hi, Hanna.

Hey, Yuki. Try to just focus on cleaning,

-yeah? - Right!

There goes another one!

Boy, these roots just never seem to give up, do they?

They say nothing stops them from growing right back.

Do you think it's true that even weed killers

don't work on them?

- Suzuhiko, Kazumu. -

Why don't we write about these

in October's Occult Research Magazine?

What do you think about that, Prez?

It's the Handicrafts Club.

Oh, man, that's wild!

Mizuha won all these trophies

herself at different competitions?

Oh. Hey, Mizuha. Are you headed home?

- Oh. - I'll walk with you.

Not today. I have somewhere to be.

- -Nice try, Rikuya!

Guess what? The other day,

Mizuha left a hairclip behind and I gave it back to her!

Then she gave me this huge smile and said "thank you."

It was the best thing ever!

You mean the hairclip I used to wear,

but she begged me to give it to her

for her birthday, so I did?

I suppose it's great that you're so happy about it.

Hey! I need to know something important.

When is Mizuha's birthday?

- April 6th. -Huh?

My birthday is April 6th.

Don't forget it, okay?

Right. Okay!

Everything feels so peaceful!

The world I've been waiting for for so long.

It's finally here.

Shouldn't you be at Sword Club right now?

- I quit. - Again?

Um, I got bored with it, so I quit.

Remind me. Didn't you quit something else before?

Let me think.

What was it?

Tennis and Kendo, and stuff.

It's weird how you never see anything through.

I give it my all, achieve what I want

and get bored with it.

I do exceptionally well in every club,

so nobody has the right to complain.

That's so amazing! You're an inspiration to us all!

Hey, Vice P, what do you want me to write for that piece

in the Occult Research Magazine?

"The messenger of God continues to spread their roots,

fighting against the forces of evil

and striving for peace on Earth!"

Write it just like that.

But what is peace, really?

Having nothing to worry about?

Or a world in where everybody is happy and free?

Yeah, that's exactly what peace is.

That and one more thing.

Having the person you like be in the same room as you.

It's said that once the world's darkness

has been eliminated, the messenger

and their 11 disciples will finally be resurrected.

That means when the roots stop growing,

that's the sign we've done it!

We would have finally achieved world peace.

Oh, wow. It's beautiful!

I wonder how much time has passed

since I went to sleep.

I've gotta find out.

I need to go and witness this peaceful world.

This is it!

I finally achieved peace!

Uh?

Is that a hindrance for you?

You may take it off, if you wish.

But if I did that,

then I'd sever from the roots I've spread.

That won't be a problem.

But how?

I know I--

Although it's true you are not yet complete...

...you have managed to spread your roots

all over the surface of this Earth

and have defeated every last enemy.

I think that deserves a reward.

- -

Reconnection.

I have given you the ability

to reconnect after connection is severed.

You did well, Fushi.

Now go on and enjoy yourself until we meet again.

Huh?

Reconnection?

I can reconnect to my roots?

Hmm.

This is amazing!

What's with that guy?

Why'd he keep such an incredible ability

from me in the first place?

Alright, time to go!

To the new world!

Oh, uh!

- -

He got hit by a truck!

Someone call an ambulance!

Wow, this is so solid! How does it move?

And where are the horses that pull this thing?

-Whoa! -

That was wild, man. Are you okay?

-Mm-hmm. -You're gonna feel that later,

though. Come on. I'll take you to a doctor.

I’ll ride in that?

Hey, are you from abroad?

Don't worry. I'll pay for it,

as long as I can post your videos online.

Uh, sure. Thank you.

This is fun! So much fun!

It's incredible!

This stuff's so good! I wonder what those eggs are.

They're all gonna love this new world so much.

I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting.

You there, Fushi?

Where am I?

Please, help me!

I'm all alone here.

What? Huh?

That man's empty!

Fushi! Where are you?

NINANNAH MUSEUM OF HISTORY AND CULTURE

Cleaning time is now over.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Huh?

Hey, what are you guys up to?

See for yourself. The roots have stopped growing.

-Huh? -I've been keeping records

since I was six years old.

And they've always grown an average of one meter a day.

This is proof that we've achieved world peace!

It's also time to prove the legend is true.

Hey, Prez, I've got an idea!

How about we go on a field trip tomorrow?

We'll find out where these roots came from.

What do you say?

No, thanks. Count me out. I'm not in the Occult Club.

I would really like to go.

-Do you mind? -Huh?

Yeah, of course!

But I thought you had to take a bunch

of lessons every weekend.

It won't be a problem. I'm sure I can take a day off.

- -

- Hey, Mizuha! -Huh?

Oh, Grandpa!

How have you been doing?

You've sure grown up since the last time I saw you.

It's been so long! How are you?

-Oh, Mom-- -You need to come inside now.

But...

Hey, by the way,

do you mind if I go out tomorrow, Mom?

Mizuha. Listen up.

Did you know that the girl on the 15th floor

is going to Hena to take part in a ballet competition?

Well, why don't you enter it, too?

I already won the grand prize

in that competition when I was ten years old.
