To Your Eternity (不滅のあなたへ)

In the beginning, it was an orb.

The orb took on many shapes in order to experience various kinds of stimulation.

It could take on any form and produce anything it wanted.

Having become a human being, it had a dream:

to live in peace.

Peaceful World

It's now cleaning time.

All students, please weed your assigned areas.

There's a theory that all these roots connect

to a giant tree in the ancient western city of Renril.

That a messenger of God encircled the world

with holy roots to defeat the darkness that ruled the world!

Here we go.

Time for the Occult Research Club vice president's scheduled cleanup-time monologue.

It's the Handicrafts Club, not the Occult Research Club.

Hanna-senpai.

Aoki-kun, why not focus on cleaning?

Yes'm!

Man, these roots just never stop growing.

Apparently they grow back as soon as you cut them, and herbicides do nothing.

You think it's true?

Senba, Tamaki, let's write about these in the October issue of the Occult Research Magazine!

What do you think, Prez?

Handicrafts Club.

Insane.

These are all from the competitions Mizuha was in, right?

Mizuha, you heading home?

Let's walk together.

I have somewhere to be.

It's okay, Rikuya.

I delivered a barrette that Mizuha-senpai left behind the other day.

And she put on this huge smile, and she was like, "Thank you!"

You mean the one that I used to wear,

and that she begged me for her birthday, so I gave it to her?

I'm glad you're happy about it, at least.

Hey!

When is Mizuha-senpai's birthday?

April 6th.

It's April 6th.

Keep it in mind.

'Kay!

It feels so peaceful.

This is the world I've been waiting for.

This is it.

Mizuha, don't you have Naginata Club practice?

I quit.

Again?

I got bored with it. Didn't feel like going anymore.

Didn't you quit something before, too?

What was it...

Tennis, kendo, and what else...

It's weird how you never stick with anything.

I gave it my all, achieved what I wanted, and got over it.

I did well in each club, so I don't think anyone has the right to complain.

You're amazing, Senpai!

Totally unstoppable!

Vice President, how should I write this part of the Occult Research Magazine?

"The messenger of God continues to spread their roots,

fighting, to this day, for peace on Earth!"

Write it like that.

What's peace?

Having nothing to worry about?

A world where everyone is free and no one is unhappy?

Yup, I think that's exactly it!

Also, one more thing...

For someone you like to be in the room with you.

It's said that once all that vexes the world is gone,

the messenger will be resurrected with their eleven disciples!

In other words, when the roots stop growing... That is the moment!

Peace will descend upon the world!

It's so beautiful.

How much time has passed since I went to sleep?

I gotta find out.

I gotta go see the peaceful world.

That's right...

I've achieved peace!

Is that in your way?

Take it off if you wish.

But that would mean severing the roots that I spread.

That won't be a problem.

Why not? I'm still...

It's true that you aren't complete.

However, you spread your roots throughout the surface of this Earth

and stamped out every last enemy.

You deserve a reward.

Reconnect.

I've given you the ability to connect again even after you've removed it.

Now, Fushi, let's meet again.

Well done.

Go on and enjoy yourself.

Reconnect?

I can connect again?

That's amazing!

What's wrong with that guy?

He kept such an awesome ability from me.

Let's go!

To the new world!

He's been hit!

Call an ambulance!

Huh?

Whoa, it's so stiff!

Where's the horse pulling it?

How is it moving?

Wow...

Hey, man, you all right?

Yeah.

It might start hurting later, though.

You should see a doctor. Hop in!

In that?!

Are you from abroad?

Well, whatever. I'll pay for it.

Mind if I post your videos online?

Huh? Sure, thanks.

It's so fun...

So fun!

This is so fun!

This stuff is so good.

What are these eggs in it?

They're gonna love this world.

Sorry to keep all of you waiting.

Fu-chan...

Where am I?

Help me!

I'm all alone!

It's an empty husk!

Fu-chan!

Ninannah Museum of History and Culture

Cleaning time has ended.

Thank you for your work, everyone.

What're you up to?

The roots stopped growing.

Based on the records I've been keeping since I was six,

they grow an average of one meter per second.

This proves that true peace has come!

Now is the time to confirm the legend!

Prez, we're going on a field trip tomorrow!

We're gonna find out where these roots are coming from!

I'm not going.

I'm not in the Occult Research Club.

I want to go.

May I?

O-Of course!

I thought you had lessons on the weekend, though.

I can get a day off.

Hey, Mizuha-chan!

Grandpa.

You been doing all right?

You've gotten so big.

It's been so long.

What's up?

Mom?

Come inside. Now.

M-Mom?

Hey, Mom...

Can I go out tomorrow?

Did you know, Mizuha?

Yuu-chan up on floor 15 is going to Hena for a ballet competition.

Why don't you give it a try, too?

I won the grand prix in that competition when I was ten.

Oh, did you?

Never mind that. Look.

I got that certificate from last month.

So tomorrow, can I—

Oh! My lineage sure is distinguished.

I quit naginata, too, so just one day?

Why? You shouldn't give up.

I won that tournament the other day.

I'm so proud of you!

How about you learn an instrument or something, then?

Maybe the flute, or...

Oh, how about the piano we have in storage?

I already did that.

Oh, did you?

Mom, I...

I want to take a break from doing stuff for a while.

Never mind. I'll do my best.

Okay. Well, think about what you're going to do and get first place in next.

Okay.

I want to die.

Itchy.

Mizuha-senpai's still not here.

Appears that way. Maybe something came up.

Has she not said anything?

Neither of us has a smartphone.

I knew it!

The roots cross the ocean, forever westward toward Renril!

We're one step closer to proving my hypothesis!

Cool. Great, awesome!

Well, we're done here, then. Good work, y'all.

Nope! We're fishing now!

Ninannah.

It looks nothing like it used to.
