To Your Eternity (不滅のあなたへ)

What happened after Fushi went to sleep in Renril?

Bon told Fushi everything.

Please don't die and leave me behind.

Even in the end...

everyone was so...

very kind.

To Takunaha?

What brought this on?

Where'd you get this?

Fushi saw Gugu off as he left for Takunaha.

Connective

Good, good!

Congratulations, first graders, on entering school.

Welcome to Minamoto Elementary.

Hello!

I'm March!

Let's be friends!

March-chan?

That's a weird name.

Nice to meet you. I'm March!

Let's be friends!

What's that thing on your head?

Lemme see!

Isn't it cute?

Mom made it for me.

You're not supposed to bring stuff like this to school.

Mommy said so.

Why not? You have some, too.

Mine are hair ties.

Yours is just a decoration.

You have decorations, too!

I've always had these ribbons. They don't count.

I've always had this on my head, too!

How long is "always"?

For 500 years!

500 years?

Liar!

I'm not lying!

Sensei, one of the new students is a pathological liar!

I hope March-chan's doing okay.

I'm sure she's fine.

She's sociable, and she has Bon with her.

Aiko, the entrance for first-years is that way.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Go do your thing!

Yup.

Hey.

President! Good morning!

Fushi-kun, you guys are close with Mizuha-san, aren't you?

We can't find Mizuha-san's name in the new class arrangements.

She transferred to another school.

Something about her dad's work.

We haven't heard anything about this!

Well, it was pretty sudden.

Hanna-san, you really didn't know?

N-No. I had no idea.

I see.

You don't have your hair accessory on, so I thought maybe something had happened.

How was it?

Seems like they aren't there.

Maybe they already moved out.

No. They just don't care to answer.

Why not?

I've been checking on Mizuha's place.

I never noticed them moving.

Oh, good. That means...

It's Mizuha-senpai's birthday tomorrow, right?

I want to see Senpai smiling again!

I'll do anything to make it happen!

Yeah...

I wonder what would make her smile.

Okay, smile!

Heya, March! Did you have fun?

What's this? What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Bon-san.

Why, hello, Mimori-kun.

Look, March, it's Mimori-oneechan.

She goes to your school.

March?

Oh, the one Fushi-san was talking about.

His... mom?

Huh? Did you say something?

No. What's the matter?

I think she's fed up with school.

Just like me, then.

Oh, Fushi.

What's March up to?

Making mud balls with Mimori-kun.

Is something the matter, Fushi?

Gugu sent me a message.

He wants to see her dressed up for school.

Well, good timing.

She was crying until just now.

She was?

It seems she doesn't like school.

She just now started smiling.

How?

"How"?

I brought some water!

Oh, right.

Attention Grab-no-jutsu.

Something Mimori left behind in her absence.

Something to connect someone with someone else.

Something that'll reach them even after a long time.

Something that'll bring smiles.

It's Mizuha-senpai's birthday tomorrow, right?

Maybe I should give her a gift.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to Mizuha.

Mizuha...

Izumi-san's PC is supposed to have records of Mizuha.

So we print them out and give them to her as a gift.

This is a great idea, Fushi!

The password is...

0406.

There.

I want her to at least know the truth.

That all her mother wanted

was not to forget her the way she was.

Yeah.

There, all done.

All taped on.

What are you doing?

We were making a birthday gift for Mizuha-senpai.

A special album.

I wanna make it cuter.

I got a bunch of stickers yesterday!

Looks great.

There.

Why'd you come out of there?!

What were you doing in there?

Nothing.

You guys look gloomy.

What's wrong?

Oh, we were just telling them about what went on and stuff.

We're discussing whether we should do something about Mizuha vanishing.

But we don't know what to do.

I don't think you need to let it get to you, Hanna.

Something happened between you and Mizuha, though, right?

Maybe what she's doing is more important than where she is.

You know, then?

You know what Mizuha's up to right now?

No.

If we could at least get her to see that she has people around who care about her...

I'm not sure what we would talk to her about even if we saw her.

I feel like we might completely lose her if we botch it.

Let's take a simpler approach.

Do you want to see Mizuha-senpai again?

I do.

I miss her.

She might not come out again today, but let's drop by her place anyway.

Yeah.

I made her a birthday gift, too.

You're the one who dropped this in my mailbox, aren't you?

Are you her dad?

It's a birthday gift for her!

Sorry, but I'm sure she'll reject it.

My daughter's already moved on. Her past isn't coming back.

I have no intention of returning.

Where are you moving to?

Somewhere you could never come.

I'm leaving with my daughter tomorrow.

Somewhere so far that you won't be able to play friends anymore.

I hope you understand.

Doesn't look like there's any point in going.

He actually bothered delivering it to us.

He's kind.

Yeah.

You dropped something.

I thought we taped everything on well.

Huh?

Do you remember this picture?

"My beloved family."

What?

I think I should go to Mizuha's place.

We're way past that. We'd just be causing trouble at this point.

Crap!

I haven't confessed to Mizuha-senpai yet!

I have to do that!

Which means I'm coming with!

It's my last chance!

You...

You have to tell her, Aoki-kun!

Right?

Let's do it, Vice President!

We'll have your back.

Let's go!

Yeah!

Our guest today is

Renril weed removal expert Harumaki-san of the Tasty Peach Foundation.

Thanks for having me.

Bon-san's on TV again.

This one's live.

He's famous!

Could you tell Bon-san to stop skipping work at school?

The principal's furious.

Ah.

See you.
