This is not the world I was in before.
No one here knows Garose.

Taira-kun, hurry up and get that done!
They're calling me. They're coming. Come over here. Hey!
Ah

Ah but

See you next week
Professor Riku Kanbayashi
Damn! That's the worst! He can read it!
A work is worthless if people read it.
It's still unfinished, I don't want anyone to read it.
Even though I'm not a professional
Yes, I'm not a professional yet, but that's why I'm trying so hard.
That's my job hunting.
It's not like the fun of those people who are having fun and laughing
Stay cool
What a successful person needs in society is determination and imagination.
I have a clear vision
Ah, it might be pointless to tell Kaji, who is in his eighth year of university.
Rikun, it's good to retreat into your own world
It sounds fun to think that you are who you are because of someone else.
Eh, can I enter too?
Please support him.

Sorry, I read it all in one go.
Heh? It's fine, don't worry about it. I'm just embarrassed. and I've heard Maezono's song too, so I'd like to meet you.
It was really good.
Really?

I want to hear your song again.

Maezono-san, are you not thinking about going pro?

Hmm, so Kamaishi-kun is dedicating his precious time to writing?
Well, yeah
What happens next?
Now I'm thinking about future developments.
Ah, wouldn't it be nice if your partner showed up?
I thought so too!
When I met Maezono-san, I was instantly struck by him!
I was looking for a heroine like this!
No, I'm talking about a novel.
It really struck me.
Let me read it.
It doesn't matter if it's after it's completed.
I want you to be my first reader

I’m getting hit

So I decided to try Takumi Kitamura.
It was a mistake to be late

Eh, Kanbayashi, why did you come in?
You called me.
Hey Kanbayashi, you go to the autograph session with Komatsu.
The autograph session will start in the afternoon
And what a dismissive call
Who has brought you all this way?
Kanbayashi!
Just go do your job, come on.
- Whoa, hold up, hold up, hold up! - That timing against Geyser was way too much!-
- What's wrong,Kabayashi-san? - Wait a minute, maybe you don't like the ending of the new series? If so, what's up with that attitude?
- Ah, Kajiwara-san I’ve gotta do a signing event with Kanbayashi-san, but honestly I'm confused - I’m the one who’s totally confused here.
- Hey, calm down. - Garose losing Shadow is an inevitable outcome for the continuation of this series.
Even if I can understand it, this way of doing things is strange. I miss Garose.

Albums released this week
"The winner of 11th place is Minami Maezono."
"Today we are broadcasting live from the Jingumae Studio of J-Sound FM."
"Lots of fans are calling."
Sorry, I had to go to Jingumae after all.
Thank you very much. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again.
That’s all from Minami-san. Thank you very much.
thank you very much
*Gasp*
Wait! Wait!
Minami! Minami!
Sorry, there's another one.
hello
Riku? Are you okay?
Kaji
Everybody's worried about you
Kaji-san, do you know Maezono Minami?
Huh? Of course.
Didn't I tell you before? We were studying languages ​​together.
Right? We went to the same university, right?
Oh, my goodness
Well, you know that too.
Thanks to me repeating a year, I was able to spend the same amount of time as Minami Maezono.
You were so regretful too, weren't you?
If things had been a little different, I could have gotten to know Minami Maezono.
"So, what about me, Minami, in college?"
I only found out after her debut
What was it? It was after it had sold quite well.
So what about novels?
Am I not writing a novel?
Continue to submit to the editor-in-chief
But I got tired of being made fun of
But you still wrote it, right?
It seems like something's wrong
It was like I was having a long dream
I rushed over thinking that
Kaji-san!
I was married.
I didn't know that
With whom?
Minami Maezono
I had a feeling that
But
There's no one more frightening than a crazy fan
Huh?
Now let's start the inspection
yes
This time I was looking for
I'm sorry
Memory loss
That's what the doctor told me too
It's not me who's gone crazy
It's from around the world
In other words
To the protagonist, this world is a parallel world.
Well, that's my favorite setting
It's not about a novel.
So, what was the trigger?
I was writing the manuscript as usual.
To finish a new series
Is that all?
I had a fight with Minami last night.
Well then that's it.
No, it's that simple
Foreshadowing is surprisingly simple
You know I want to be a novelist.
No, I'm not talking about a novel.
As a sci-fi fan, I have to say
There are two types of plots for this kind of parallel world story.
One is space-time distortion and solar flares.
Well, there are many ways to say it, but in the end, I don't know what happened.
It's what's known as a prank by God.
Please spare me
And the other pattern is that someone wished for it.
Who is it?
Is this the person who traveled through time and space?
There's no way I'd wish for that
Or people around the person who flew in.
A lover, family member, friend, or acquaintance
Maybe it's me
Is that so?
I don't know
ah
But I don't think it's Kaji.
hey hey
I want to go to another world that's not here
There's just something I wished for
Wow, that's surprising.
Well, from what I've heard, Minami Maezono seems to be the most likely candidate.
So you got fed up with me after we had a fight and skipped out?
That means the only way to return to the original world is to make up.
We're not even dating, so we're not making up.
But first, I need to get to know Minami Maezono.
I'm sure the guys in my department have done some research on the stores she frequents, so I'll ask them.
I know that best
Because I'm a passionate fan
Because we are a married couple
Ok, so what about her friends and family?
Kazue-san, today is the day your grandchild is coming to visit.
By the way, when is the next concert?
Your grandson will provide the tickets.
That's a funny thing to say, but I'm the one singing it.
It's nice to sing along too
Hello
It's been a long time, dear
Huh?
Do you understand me?
Of course.
There's no way I'd forget someone important to me
I'm sorry I haven't shown my face for a while
So this is what's happening?
But I'll be back soon
This is Minami's favorite Chinatown egg tart.
Minami-san, who are you?
Oh, I'm Minami Maezono, your granddaughter.
Oh, and you?
I'm Riku Kanbayashi, married to Minami.
Yes, the reading volunteers.
This is helpful, I'm already tired of reading
Would you read it?
Um...read this?
Yeah…
What happened?
Ah... ah, no...
-Who is this? -Um, uh, um...
-Are you perhaps the fan from the other day? -Oh, no, I was just a volunteer who came to read a book...
-Grandma, who's this? -Yeah, he said he was protecting me.
No, that’s not it. I’m sorry—please listen. You know, the egg tart from Chinatown…
Sorry, it seems like a fan just snuck in.
Minami, this person is important to us.
Wait, Minami—now?
Minami
There's no way I'd forget my granddaughter's name.
- Yes, Grandma - This person reads books for us. He's a good person.
Minami!
I'm sorry, I got a little carried away with the interview with Minami Maezono and ended up going too far. I'll let her know, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
Hey! Wake up! Come on!
I was treated like a stalker!
Apparently he was a stalker
Your sincerity was fully conveyed
So don't go acting like you're doing nothing.
This is the man's business card.
I thought I'd seen him somewhere before, and it turns out he's his exclusive producer.
I gave him my business card and he agreed.
Entertainment journalists were writing about it.
From stalker to paparazzi
Is that a birth?
At least we have a just cause.
It's a good reason to rummage around Minami.
There's no point if you hate it
So should I stop?
Determined to live in this world
I'll spend every day as a fan of Minami.
I thought it was natural to be around people
She loves sweet things and is good at cooking.
Even though she doesn't like horror movies, she wanted to watch one with me.
"I'm trying to sound a little cheerful. My hands have a habit of shaking when I'm nervous, and when I laugh, I get a dimple on the left side of my face."
That Minami is no longer here
There's no way a world like this is worth living in
What a rude thing to say to a world where I try so hard to live.
This is all the property in this world
For me over there it's a pillar pattern
-I'll give you all of this! So! -You -So, please! Please help me
Yeah
delicious
Yeah
good
I have to thank that person.
This is what I bought today
I threw away the previous one
Because there must be something in there
too good to waste
That guy with the glasses said
nasty man
That person is also a good person
I hate it
How is Akiko?
Minami, Grandma
Yes, I understand
Well, when there's more details,
- Do I have to show my face? - She doesn't want to see you.
- What doesn’t she like about me? - My glasses?
Hmm, maybe that's true
That call just now—it was from that group at the publishing company we dealt with recently. We’re meeting them tomorrow
Why?
I don't know what he was thinking, but he came full circle and asked me for a job.
For now, I'll check it out
What are you up to?
Well then
You are
What about Minami?
If you’ll be there, I’ll attend
Nave's, Kanbayashi, Rickson.
So, what's the story?
In fact, Kanbayashi has published several works as an author.
However, I cannot tell you the title of the work.
Because I've worked as a coast writer for a well-known author.
Although he had the talent, he had never been in the spotlight.
However, we have now decided to finally let him make his debut.
When I was writing my debut work, he suggested that I make Maezono Minami the theme.
He became so vulnerable that he ended up acting like a stalker, but he is deeply sorry about that.
I also scolded him.
This guy.
Maezono Minami's birthday was produced by B1 producer Tadokoro Tetsuto, but how was this promising genius singer born?
He is able to portray this miraculous true story with thorough research and confident writing.
So you're a writer?
Well, I understand your enthusiasm, but I'd like to know more about the interview fees and royalty contract.
Well, that will be discussed later, um, with the office.
hey hey
Well, we have to decide that.
Tadokoro-san is a music producer,
I am in charge of producing all of Minami Maezono's products, not just music production.
That's right, that's right
By the way, I was a classmate of Minami Maezono at the same university, and in fact, we were in the same language class.
What was the story originally about?
It seems they were quite trusted, though…
No, no, I just came to read a book to you because there was a book I wanted you to read.
Was it a disappointment?
I have another appointment so I'll stop here
Please email me for more details
Understood.
I will accept
Huh?
Really?
thank you
I think I owe my musical background to my grandmother.
My grandmother was also a singer for a while.
It wasn't selling well though.
On behalf of your deceased parents
She quit singing to raise you
Yeah
But why would that be?
I read it in an interview somewhere
Right?
My existence
I felt like I had stolen the song from my grandmother.
So I didn't feel like starting a full-fledged singing career.
But there was an incident that triggered it.
During my fourth year of university
The day before the new book live
I once sneaked out to sing at night.
Eh, it's the same
same?
Oh, no, did Maezono-san meet anyone there?
Yeah
While I was singing, a man saw me
It's me!
Umm, while I was researching in my head
I'm searching in my head
So, don't worry about it.
Ah, yes
I just happened to come back
I was found by a guy from K-On Circle.
Caught in the spot
I was recruited
Started Deppando
Isn't it me?
But the band broke up when I graduated.
Then I started my solo career
Luckily, I passed the audition I applied for in my first year.
So you were able to make your debut?
yes
So you would have sold if you hadn't met me?
Huh?
Heavy! Heavy!
Is this room dark? Is it difficult to talk?
Um, I'll wait here, how about you?
What about just the two of you talking while getting some fresh air?
Right? Right? Right?
Surprise, here you go.
Sorry, I got a little heated up
Wow, I'm surprised you know more about it than I do.
Not just as an artist
I'd also like to know what Maezono Minami looks like in everyday life.
Are you Maezono Minami?
Eh, it looks like it's coming out
Bare face
I thought I'd never be asked to show my face again
I haven't lived my life the way I want to for years.
My body and hands are insured, I'm not allowed to cook, garden, or drive, and I live every day in hiding.
The costumes and stage were all prepared by those around us, creating the artist-like Minami.
Still, what I sing about is everyday life.
Ordinary everyday life
Would you like to go see the scenery from when life was normal?
nostalgic
That's right, you went to this university too.
What faculty?
Faculty of Literature
It's the same there too
Maybe we passed each other somewhere
Does anything here seem familiar?
A perfect loophole to escape.
What are you running from?
I want to perform live here someday
Can customers fit in?
That’s why I’m not allowed to do it
Teyumi
Aya
Maezono's appearance
"I don't regret giving up singing. I chose to live with my current family."
"When I was a singer, everyone knew me, you know that."
Yes, I understand.
- Would you like me to read you a book? - A book?
- Yeah, you came to read this, right? - Ah, I was supposed to read.
By the way, why aren't you wearing those glasses today?
Huh?
I think you should stop.
There’s someone better out there for you
Grandma
sorry
Don't write that kind of thing
Is Maezono Minami dating a music producer?
It's a big scandal
It's cheating
That's rude
Not in your mind
Now we can meet
No need to rush. If you go slow and steady, you’ll be fine
If anything else happens, contact me.
yes
Did you say Maezono Minami?
Huh?
Yo?
Is that producer Tadokoro?
Are they dating?
Yo?
Isn't that wrong?
I used to sing here all the time
- Why were you here? - Yeah...
I don't know. I even forgot why I started singing.
Didn't you want someone to listen to you?
It's professionalism
you?
I was Katakuna
I didn't want to show it to anyone until it was finished.
But a novel only has meaning if it's read.
So the first person to give you feedback was a professional editor?
Oh, that's right.
I forgot my souvenir
Let’s eat.
Yeah… anything from here, really. I hate when things sell out. That’s why I’ve never told any media what my favorite food is.
Ah—wait, no… I did say I like sweets, didn’t I?
I mean, you're a good cook, so why don't you make it yourself?
I'm not good at cooking
I mostly eat out and I don't cook for myself.
I thought you liked cooking
Hehe, that's weird
I had never really cooked.
thank you
Maybe I was able to remember a little bit of myself back then
It was really good
Hahaha, good for you.
What is this?
It's a replacement article
Please don't post the article
What's the problem with the Editorial Departement?
No, I managed to get it in my pocket.
If you release it now, you'll miss even bigger news.
I'll write a replacement article.
Can't come up with a better story than this?
I'll go look for it now
First of all, who gave you permission to do this interview?
Of course, I got permission from the Editorial Departement.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
What are you doing, Kanbayashi?
yeah?
I'm very sorry
So it was an undercover interview after all?
It's a ghostwriter, and he's lied about it so many times.
False resume and defamation
of course
I guess they're ready to be sued now.
This is an article that came from a source unrelated to us.
Yes, finally
The rest is the court's job
I'm sorry
You don’t even have an excuse?
This is not what I wanted to do.
That's the truth
I'll convince this person.
There will be no trial.
I deeply regret having trusted you
I’m done with this
I’ve never met you—not even once
Being involved with you brings misfortune to Minami
Never show your face again
This is the climax, huh… This is the adversity that hits the protagonist It’s precisely from here that turn things around
That’s enough. What more could I possibly do?
What's the matter? You asked me to do it yourself.
I'm really sorry
Always in my own words
You're really a selfish guy
The other day you said that this world isn't worth living in
That really pissed me off.
But I was trying my best to write novels and make Minami happy.
But why, why can't it go well here or there?
*Gasp*
Okay, spit it out. Spit it all out.
If someone like me were there, you'd be unhappy.
That Tadokoro, was over the line, wasn’t it?
Let’s beat that guy up someday
Ugh, ugh.
I wonder if I could write a novel here and it would sell again?
I can't get back to writing it from scratch again.
I was able to write that because Minami was there.
It was only because of Minami that I was able to write it.
Minami was able to sing because I wasn't there
I've already been made aware of it
Is it really okay?
I have no choice but to live here
Let's split up
Please allow me to start learning again from scratch
I'm sorry
Abukawa-sensei is slow at writing with matches, so I'll poke him hard. He doesn't like to contact me by phone, so he ignores emails and texts without a second thought.
If you could leave a little more space for Kazehaya-sensei, I think it would be a little small.
Ah, it doesn't seem to be selling well. Ah, please.
Well, that's something
I read The Girl and the Rabbit. Although it has become an animal, I think it is a work that could be further improved if rewritten.
thank you
♪~~~♪
It's ok, I'm just a little tired
Still can’t make up your mind?
You have the talent the world needs
Are you okay?
Just leave it all to me
Tomorrow's Lively Har from 6pm
*Ahh* Ahh*
No, no, no, no, no
I just wanted to unravel boldness part
That guy’s starting to seem like he’s got some kind of memory disorder.
I mean no harm.
Maybe it's stupid and selfish
I was just thinking about you
Now he has a change of heart and is doing his best
I just want you to know that
Look, look
Minami, are you okay?
- I look forward to working with you all. - Thank you very much.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Since this is a meeting, I would like to discuss it with Zach Baran, who I am meeting for the first time, but first of all, thank you very much for your proposal. It was wonderful.
Wow, Professor Kaneko was there.
I said that we could discuss the matter in general terms, and our company's Komatsu has been enjoying it ever since, so I contacted Komatsu directly.
Sorry to have kept you waiting
Huh? I read this
Are you reading too?
You were approached about singing the theme song for the movie.
Then I read the side part and his name came up.
That guy from the previous publishing company.
Did you happen to meet him?
No, I just picked it up because it seems popular
It said that it was a piece that he and his editor worked on together.
Huh
You can't let the writer think you're accompanying him.
I have to make the artist feel like he drew it on his own.
It’s proof they’ve lost control of their creative mind
- No - Yes. You're in control.
It would be bad if they noticed that.
I'm grateful.
Either way, I decline this offer.
There's no need to face him.
Are you the one deciding?
When I was still living with Minami, I found a padded envelope in the closet.
oh!
Inside the envelope was a CD with a recording of Minami singing.
I thought she had applied for the audition and failed, but it turns out she hadn't even submitted it.
One day I found out about it.
Even though she said that, I didn't say anything to her.
I've been pretending not to know for years
I thought she lacked confidence
I was angry at her for that.
But in reality, she was supporting me at the expense of herself.
Minami has always supported me
Hehe, that's why I got punished.
It makes me wonder if this world never existed
Maybe it was all just my imagination
About that girl...
No… there’s nothing I can do now. But if I could go back, there’s so much I wish I could’ve done for her
If you go back, you have to be prepared to lose something important.
When I was a singer, there was no one who didn't know me.
You understand, right?
Hold on… you don’t mean that, do you?
Kaji-san, I was just about to call you.
Okay, come quickly!
Come to the company?
I have a paid day off today
Maezono Minami has nominated you.
Sorry to keep you waiting
Well, we're all set.
I read The Girl and the Rabbit.
It was really good
I also read the afterword
This piece was sent to the editorial department.
Originally rejected
Apparently it was packed in a cardboard box.
That's right
That's what Kanbayashi said.
I remembered the time before my debut when I sent a demo song to a record company as a last resort.
This song was written by facing my emotions at the time when I was just a nobody.
In the end it wasn't released as a single
I thought the song from that time would be a good theme song.
Because it's not finished yet
I want to make it after hearing your stories.
of course
Including you
If you’re willing to help, then I want to take on this job
of course
good
So Kanbayashi-san has always been in charge?
That's right
I really can't thank you enough.
That's good.
Thank you for such a great news.
Minami is going to be glad you're there.
See you there.
Thank you, I think it will be a great song
Really? That's good.
Yes.
I received this from Kazue-san.
I thought I'd give it back to Maezono-san.
Don't you give it to me?
If you're going to give it to me, I'll take it now
- I'll give it to you - So… you’ve made up your mind.
What do you think? Does it suit me?
There's something I need to say
You've been a stalker since you were a student?
actually
We are
We know each other very well
Right
At least you know me well
Because you're an avid fan
It's not like that
You and I are a couple
Hmph, what happened when I got too close?
We loved each other so much
So I know everything about you
One day I was dug into a new world
That is this world
In the world I was in before, I was a novelist blessed with a hit work
You were my wife
But in this world, you're a first-class singer
I'm just your fan
In one night I lost everything
You were a great singer and you loved other people.
It's an interesting story, but a bit cliche
We were a couple
If we had met eight years ago
Do you meet someone in college and fall in love?
At first, everything was going well.
Have I become a nasty person?
Was I a nasty guy from the start?
I couldn't talk to you well
Boring, such a dark story is not interesting
If you're going to do it, why not tell a happier story?
Then I'll think about it.
If we had met eight years ago
I fall in love with you at first sight
“Well?”
Perfect!
And then we make love so passionately
A once in a lifetime experience
A love that makes you feel like you're the only ones in the world
I don't have any money
Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're together
Then I became a singer
You write a bestselling novel
But it's the same as when it wasn't selling
We're always together
Travel a lot and have lots of children
There were no children, and you don't have to stay like this.
No, I want to raise three children.
And dogs too
Very busy with work and childcare
I don't even have time to appreciate my happiness
Before we know it, we'll be grandparents in no time.
And finally, living in a house by the sea
Enjoy tea while listening to the sound of the waves
Until the last day
We spend time together quietly
Good life, right?
I agree
It was a very good life
Hey, what happened? Was it such a good story?
It's the best. I wanted to live a life like that, so I was writing a novel.
Since when did that change?
Is this… the Way, maybe?
Hey… is there somewhere you want to go? Take me with you
Hmm, so this is your study.
Hey, should I get some coffee?
Yes, please.
Is this the title of a novel? Are you writing it?
No, I was trying to write it down.
I can't draw well
thank you
Flow line
It's a dark story that you hate.
Don't you want me to read it?
Comment?
Come back now, understand
He’s there, right? Put that guy on
There's champagne, but what would you like?
He knows, doesn’t he? They published the dating article, after all
What can you do—for the artist Minami Maezono?
This isn’t some midnight date… is it?
Oh well, I feel like celebrating today
There's good news for Minami
I finally signed a contract with an overseas agent.
After the next tour, I'll be moving my base of operations to Los Angeles.
But you'll support me as a fan, right?
Talented people have a responsibility to succeed
For that, what she needs is not you, but me.
You are getting in the way of Maezono Minami's success.
You still have a long way to go before you leave Japan, right?
There's a grandma
How many years have you been saying that?
- That person will never get better
- Stop saying things like that
- You should move on too
- An artist’s shelf life isn’t that long
Kaneko-san?
what happened?
Kanbayashi-san, you're not answering the phone.
Oh, sorry.
Ah, wait! Are you okay!
What did you say?
Huh?
Until the book comes out
Kanbayashi-san has always been watching over me.
Someone appeared
Talking about filmmakers
Kanbayashi-san, it seems like you're losing interest in me.
No, that's not true.
You said that the writer and the editor are one and the same.
Hey, Kaneko-san, wait a minute, that's weird.
It's not strange.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Kaneko-san, I don't see you as that kind of person.
I respect Kaneko-san as a writer.
Maezono Minami is...
What does the south mean for Aizo?
Understood
- No one answered the phone. - Oh, hey, Kanbayashi.
The teacher is also preparing for a lawsuit, saying you used your position to pressure him into a relationship.
- That's a different story... - I guess...
But there's nothing we can do about what has happened.
I will talk to the other party's lawyer about how to proceed next.
You wait at home for a while.
Congratulations!
Looks like it’s back to square one
yes?
I'm glad it was before the announcement
*
I'm home, Pechka
From Riku to Riku
Rikun, this is my son's stove.
Ah hello
Hello, yeah
When I got married, I decided to buy it.
Wow~
Ah, it's Kana-chan
nostalgic
In that world, Kaji-san broke up and is single.
So I thought that was definitely the case.
In this world, you get married
The three of us often ate together.
Well, but I'm single now
Feel free to use it freely
yes.
This is a really interesting book that someone is reading. I'll lend it to you.
"I'm curious to know what happens next. You can always return it."
That's right, it's not bad
I must take good care of this
Ah, so you received it.
I got it back.
Can I take this over there too?
Of course it's yours now
Hey, write a novel. You don't have anything else to do, do you?
I'm not in the mood for that.
"Kaji-san" Hey, stop it. That's not what I meant when I brought you to my house.
"Kaji-san" What do you mean? Didn't you get divorced?
Three years ago, Kana went for a walk with Pechka in the morning as usual.
That day, a truck ran onto the sidewalk.
Only Pechka has returned. Kana has only just gone for a walk.
You came to the funeral too.
Please tell me
I don't know
You know that, right?
I've always been helped by Kaji.
Please tell me if there's anything I can do
I've had enough
She listened to me and we ate together.
She also bowed her head to me about work.
I'm just returning the favor I received from you three years ago.
Is there anything worth living in this world?
If I could go to a world that isn't this future
I would have made every effort
I'm still a little jealous of you
Even I've wished to go to another world that isn't this one
But that wish won't come true
Do what you can here
I have no choice but to live here
I'm sorry
Write a novel
You want to go back to being a novelist, right?
But, I don't just want to go back
I remembered that there was someone I wanted to read it to.
Stop trying to act cool, you
already
Anyway, it's fine, you just run now!
Go with all your might!
Do your best!
I'm off to bed!
good night!
hello
I saw the news
Yeah
Sorry for the inconvenience.
What are you going to do now?
I'm thinking of writing a novel
novel?
You said before that you wanted to read it.
I have the notebook
Notes?
A blank notebook with nothing written on it
I heard it's really interesting
The idea is always in my head
Once I finish writing it, I want you to read it someday.
Where are you now?
Looking at the sea
This is a beautiful view too, you know that well
At the end of the tour, I was selfish and asked to add a song, a place I'd always wanted to sing
Maybe at university?
- Huh? - That's great. It's the birthplace of Minami Maezono.
This will be the last live performance in Japan.
I want you to come and listen
interesting
I knew it—you’re talented
Garose and Shadow are the best combination
But Garose will lose Shadow.
why?
Otherwise you won't be able to move forward.
Huh!?
Change the development!
Isn't it the author's privilege to be able to freely shape the future of their characters?
It's lonely without Shadow, you know.
I see. Oh, I see.
Huh? Huh?
Why didn't I notice? The only one who knows this ending is Minami, who read it that day.
She didn't want it to end this way. Mr. Kang said so.
-They came here because someone wanted something. -Yes.
That's what Minami wanted. A world where Shadow plays an active role. If we can rewrite the ending and make him read it, he can return to his original world.
Yay!
I get it, I get it, I get it!
You and you!
Oh no!
*lol*
Good evening everyone, this is Maezono Minami.
Thanks to all of you, I was finally able to get this far.
Please enjoy today until the very end
Don't die, Shadow!
Hey! Hurry up or you won't make it!
Tell that to the printer!
Hurry up, quickly!
Well then, I'm ahead
yes!
It's a very beautiful moon
That day, the night the world changed, was also a rare moonlit night.
If so, it's a combination technique.
The contents of the novel and the quarrel
In addition, a rare moon
on second thoughts
Not the south, but…
I wished for it.
If so, the ending is already decided
If you wish, you can go back
This is where we say goodbye
Umm, Kaji-san
You don't have to change
Be friends with me over there too
And to my wife
If you're fine, that's good
I'll try to convince Kaji to get back together.
Do it carefully.
It's thanks to Kaji-san that I've been able to survive.
I'll give it all back to Kaji-san over there.
You won't make it in time. Yes.
See you
Kazue-san, are you alone?
thank you
Not at all
Oh, that's
I wrote a novel.
In order to have Minami read it
Today will be the last day
Oh, she's leaving Japan.
Isn't that right?
You chose it, right?
Excuse me, could you please guide me through this?
Yes, I understand. I will show you around.
If you go back, you have to be prepared to lose something important.
This is the novel you said you wanted to read before.
Have you finished writing it?
Ah, it's not a dark story.
A happy ending that you seem to like
I want you to read it after the show is over.
I’m looking forward to it
Minami-san, it's 10 minutes before the show starts.
yes
Sorry, then, good luck with the live show.
Are you still wandering around?
Today is the last day, and as soon as this is over, I'll be gone
Miura-san, please
sorry
Good evening, this is Maezono Minami.
The next song is an unreleased song that I wrote before my debut, just because I wanted someone to listen to my singing.
Someone reminded me of myself back then and I was able to complete it.
Please listen
♪Time stops, our fingers touch, can you still hear me?♪
♪I dropped my weapon and turned over the page I loved♪
♪It's like a world just for the two of us, with you and me♪
♪I want to call your name because I feel like you're going to disappear♪
♪The world you're in is so vivid♪
♪It's like magic, I wonder if it will melt someday♪
♪I'm here, no matter how many times we say goodbye♪
♪I want to sing, I want to convey, my feelings are overflowing♪
♪Don't forget, I'm here, so you start♪
♪*"As long as you love me"♪
♪And I still believe♪
♪yes♪
♪It's like magic♪
♪Will it melt someday♪
♪I am here♪
♪How many times♪
♪I want to love, I want to tell, I think♪
♪*Many many*♪
It was a great live show
thank you
I’m wishing for your happiness
Will you love me wherever I go?
Here we are, but maybe it wasn't like that.
Even if I wasn't here, you still loved me
Is he different?
Why?
Sorry, After all, I can’t make someone read the novel
I'm an idiot
I was writing a novel for myself again.
Only thinking about myself
I was repeating the same thing
This won't do
What does that mean?
The world you are in
I don't want to break it anymore
Don't mess with me.
Well, you're just saying whatever you want.
Ever since you showed up, you've been messing around with me
It's true that at first, I thought you were a selfish person who only thought about yourself, but in reality, that's not true.
You must have worked hard for me
That was my intention, but in reality...
What do you mean by ‘reality’? You actually wrote a novel. Isn’t that right?
So then, that was for yourself—
So, wasn't it for your own sake, so that you could read it before you died?
Let me read it, even after it's finished
I want you to be my first reader
That was probably the intention
Before you know it
That's why, try again
once again?
Tell me something new
This time for sure
Properly
for me
*
I wonder what kind of story will begin—nya
Can I talk about something?
That has already begun.
I'm thinking now
It's late. Riku is in charge of breakfast, right?
That's right, let's think of a title for the new song together
I'm having trouble coming up with a good one
Wait, what happened, Minikku?
♪~~~♪
