————————————

In the end, I realized, and high school life ended in the blink of an eye.

And it's been exactly one year since Misaki's death.

Mizuki has gone up to years all three high schools today, and successfully graduated from high school a few days ago.

So——

“Misaki, my birthday the eighteenth has passed smoothly.”

Mizuki smiled gently while folded his arms in front of the grave where Misaki was sleeping.

On his birthday a year ago, Misaki made a promise to herself and said, "Next year, I will definitely celebrate Mizuki's birthday also". Even though this promise could no longer be fulfilled, at least he was had to report to Misaki, so Mizuki came to visit the grave before repeating the first year of his death.

Facing tombstones with hands folded, thought Mizuki.

Time flies very quickly.

A year ago, since he seeing the video left by Misaki, Mizuki vows to work loud in this world.

However, people are not easy changed and graduated from high school without realizing it, but as extension, Mizuki has been a student at a local university since April. Even though it has grown somewhat compared to last year, it is still enough restless.

Well, that's what I said, but that doesn't mean Mizuki hasn't done anything this year.

Say... yes! After the third year of high school, Mizuki is friends in class. Movie fan the same, fun.

From now on, if I continue building a relationship like this, Misaki and my mother don't need to worry.

Mizuki reported this on misaki's grave.

“Besides, I have worked hard as a member of the library committee.”

said Mizuki proudly to the direction of the tombstone.

If Mizuki leaves, there won't be any who will do behind-the-scenes work in the library. So Mizuki constantly doing behind-the-scenes work all year round.

Although the committee counter the library is very busy, basically only once a week. By therefore, in addition to that task day, the task day is behind the scenes for one the moon has been set.

Although Mizuki is afraid of being opposed by most people, there is no unexpected objection, Since Last May, behind-the-scenes work began. Besides, Mizuki as a guide who works behind the scenes, he continues to pass on his experience so far with his juniors.

I was nervous talking to my junior at first, but once I got used to it, it turned out I was very pleasant. When he regained consciousness, he could chat with junior, which surprised Mizuki himself. And this may be a blessing misaki training.

And guidance work of a kind it also resigned after the end of January when the school was free started. The work that Mizuki and Misaki always pursue is successful inherited by the younger generation.

“Misaki, am I okay just?”

Mizuki asked his partner who was no longer here, stared at the tombstone.

Of course there was no sound answerer. Because there's only Mizuki here. However, for some reason, Mizuki also felt like hearing "Good job!".

“See you next week, first anniversary of your death.”

Smiling at the tombstone Misaki, Mizuki left the grave.

Although it is an option to go home like this, Mizuki went somewhere else. It's a park where the two of them stared at the stars together for the last time a year the past.

Mizuki and Misaki were sitting on the bench while talking, looking up at the night sky. And of course not there may be stars in the morning sky. However, looking at the clear blue sky, Mizuki felt his heart also relieved.

At that time, the phone was in my pocket his chest started to shake.

“...Huh? Message?”

He took out his cell phone and glancing at it, it was an email. Maybe it's an email from a friend. Mizuki open the mailbox casually.

And the sender's name is written on above it,

"Misaki...?"

Mizuki almost dropped call because of the surprise. After throwing it and picking it up several times, he ended up clenching the phone tightly, and Mizuki pressed his excitement and clicking on the email.

"Mizuki, happy repeat year! Also, happy graduating from high school! Mizuki, you have to go to college. So you've been a student ever since April. This is so good~ I envy you to death! Well, because I'm jealous, I'll give Mizuki homework. Take my share and enjoy your university life well. I hope your university life is full of smiles and happiness!”

Viewing the text in the email, Mizuki felt like he heard Misaki's voice.

So, Mizuki read it over and over again, and his heart was full of Misaki's words.

A closer look, date the email delivery happened to be Mizuki's birthday a year ago.

Misaki might think of a way to fulfill the promise after the separation, and prepare this email for himself alone.

Misaki still prioritizes it his promise to the end, it made Mizuki so happy that he didn't can restrain yourself.

And most importantly...

“I can't even imagine that you will use this method to fulfill your promise.”

Mizuki looked up at the sky and laugh “ahaha”.

Although Misaki said "whatever the format" at the time, I really admired the idea send regular emails.

At this time, Mizuki noticed that there seemed to be a follow-up below the email text. So curious turned down.

"I will always support you in another world. Go, Mizuki!”

Written at the end is text which is full of evil and love.

“...I really can't beat you.”

It's the same as when I was watched that video a year ago.

He really couldn't win against Misaki no matter what. Always played by him, and then forced to admit that he really liked her.

However, today is more than that.

“Come on, Mizuki!”

In the video, Misaki said the same thing at the end. It's a magic word that pushes Mizuki's back to make him advance.

"—Leave itto me."

This is homework the last thing given to him by his lover. In this case, life my university must be enriched enough to surprise Misaki in heaven.

Also, from now on, it should be enough to make Misaki and her parents proud and try their best to live.

Turn off the phone, stand up from bench, Mizuki stared intently at the street ahead and took the first step.

~The End~
