By the time the Sakura's bloomed, the eleven of us gathered at the dilapidated Chikusei-so which was scheduled to be demolished.


"Let me carry that for you, Yukari."

"Yeah, let him carry that. You're short enough already."

"Yeah, you'll get shorter."

Yukari frowned at Kakeru, Joji, and Jota who were walking beside her with the same amount of groceries in their hands. 

"I'm not even that short!" 

"Well to us you are."

Yukari frowned at the twins, before glancing at Kakeru. "Besides, we've arrived already, see?"

The group of four directed their attention to the Chikusei-so that was right in front of them. Petals from the cherry blossom tree were falling beautifully over Nira and his puppies. The former residents of the Aotake were gathered around the table filled with food and drinks.

"Thanks for waiting!" Jota greeted them happily,

"We brought more drinks!" Joji completed his brother's sentence.

Yuki turned his head towards them, greeting them, "Yo, fourth-years."

"We came to say our goodbyes." Nico-chan senpai grinned.


Everyone's following their own path.


An arm slung around both Yukari's and Kakeru's shoulders, they turned their heads to see a grinning Kiyose with two bottles of sake in each of his hands.

"Let's drink today, you two!" 

"Let's do it."


My brother's been running a new path, too.



"Just tell us already. It's been three years."  Yuki hissed at Musa, motioning to the twins.

A drunk Shindo chimed in, "Yeah, it's been long enough. Which did Hana like?"

"Well. . . " Musa directed his attention towards the sky, before giggling and cupping his own cheeks.


"That's a secret between me and Hana."


"Get him, boys."


Yukari shook her head, laughing at the sight of Musa getting mauled in front of her by three other men.
