I wonder when it started.

When did I stop enjoying fireworks?

The fireworks I saw with my mother...

Red, blue, yellow, green, orange...

They were all so beautiful.

I got older.

People important to me went far away.

And before I knew it, the world had...

lost its color.

MAGIC SHOP

Are you done yet, Granny?

Hold on, just a little bit longer.

The fireworks are going to start.

You go on ahead.

NAGASAKI STAR FESTIVAL '78

Hurry up!

-The fireworks started! -Aki, you took too long getting ready!

-Hikaru's coming, I had to! -Hold on. Tsukishiro?

You came!

We didn't think you would.

You seem to avoid large crowds.

Are you meeting someone?

Or are you alone?

Hey, all the girls from class are coming.

If you want, you can join us, Tsukishiro--

I made a promise.

I see.

Then we'll see you later!

Wow, they're really shooting them off!

Is Yuu going after Hikaru too?

Welcome, welcome!

That's it. Scoop it up from there.

Call from Granny.

-Hitomi, are you there yet? -Yeah.

I'll be there soon.

You can take your time.

Thanks.

I'm fine.

I don't mind being alone.

Saying that over and over will eventually make it true.

Maybe that's also due to magic.

A modest magic used to protect oneself.

I can't stand magic.

If I wasn't a mage...

would the fireworks be pretty right now?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Granny.

Sorry I'm so late.

I finally finished the preparations.

Preparations?

A star-sand watch?

That's right. A required tool for time magic.

It's been continuously bathed in 60 years' worth of full-moon light, just for today.

To think it would borrow the full moon's power on the night of a new moon.

It's such a paradoxical magic, don't you think?

I want you to go and see me when I was a sophomore in high school.

I'll send you to the past with magic.

Wait a minute.

It's understandable you'd be hesitant since this is so sudden,

but it has been decided.

-Why? -Well, that's...

You'll see when you get there.

I'm sure you're reluctant to be separated from friends and boyfriends and such...

Not really.

I don't...

care about that.

That's a bad habit of yours.

Don't turn away from them.

You being able to go is very special, enjoy yourself.

Wait, I never said I would go--

Illuminate the flow of the darkness of eternity that sinks into the night's silence, oh, radiance.

Starlit sky, fill the Earthen spirits.

Summer breezes over the mountains, rains that feed the seas,

birds that cross the skies, bolts that tear through the dark.

-Nature that creates the world, be the guide... -Wait, Granny!

Let time rewind!

I don't remember much after that.

Granny's usual smile,

the tremors of the deafening fireworks.

Before I knew it...

MAGIC SHOP KOHAKU TSUKISHIRO

From 2018?

OUT OF ORDER

Excuse me...

We've arrived.

Where are we?

The place you're headed.

Thank you very much.

PRESENT DAY

Riding without paying the fare is a crime!

-Where's the card reader? -Cash only.

-Keeps business clean. -What does he mean "cash"?

Criminal.

Will...

this cut it?

How neat!

Where am I?

-Unable to confirm location. -What?

Due to network interference, positioning information is unavailable.

-Would you like the last recorded location data? -No.

Then, what day is it?

Unable to confirm date.

Due to network interference, time information is unavailable.

-2018? -Would you like the last recorded location data?

It won't open.

Please, open!

What should I do?

I just hid without thinking.

No matter how you look at it, I'm pretty suspicious.

Someone, help!

Hello? It's me.

Work? Until closing. Yeah.

Is there food? Then I guess I'll eat before I go.

Mind if I eat the curry from two days ago?

Yeah. Got it.

It opened!

You sure like taking pictures of bugs and stuff.

They're cute.

You're a mystery.

Isn't that Aoi's house?

What's wrong?

What a scoop!

I didn't think that Aoi had a girl.

Asagi, contact Yamabuki and the others.

-We're having a meeting! -Okay!

It's the same.

The sea, and the mountains.

The area around Granny's house...

It's the same, yet a little different.

It's different, yet somewhat the same.

I'm really here, aren't I?

See?

Kawai, you shouldn't be spying on people.

But she was coming out of Aoi's house.

-Right, Asagi? -Yes. Through the window.

That guy. He said he missed club activities because of work.

See, it's an issue!

Doesn't it seem like he snuck his girlfriend into his room, and she had to escape through the window?

Is that really his girlfriend?

I'll upload the video and see what kind of response it gets.

What a pretty girl.

She's kind of illustrious.

She's got a nice form, smooth, long hair,

-and pretty eyes! -Like that?

That's her!

Is she lost?

-I'll go see what's up. -How kind, club captain!

Are you all right there?

Is something troubling you?

We're not suspicious people,

you just looked like you were lost, so we thought we might be able to help.

Are you okay?

Minamigaoka High School...

Yeah, that's right. The one up the hill.

-Me too... -What, you go to our school?

-What year are you? -No, it's not like that...

The uniforms changed.

-Did they change them? -No.

If you want, you can use this.

Your knees, they're scraped.

What is that?

Relax and enjoy.
