I didn't choose to come here!

I've figured out how to send Hikaru back to his original world!

- The Last Handscroll - HIKARU-KUN, BYE-BYE?!

I might be home late tonight.

Can you take care your own dinner?

Yes.

Itadakimasu.

Itadakimasu.

I'm sorry about yesterday!

Are you all right?

Has the fever gone away?

Yes, it was completely gone after I slept for an entire day.

Really? But you still look unwell.

Want some cough drops?

I'm fine.

Thank you.

So you guys haven't made up yet?

No...

And what's your plan next?

I don't know...

Philip-san said that he'd already solved the mystery behind the dimensional jump, right?

He did, but he suddenly disappeared.

Did you tell Hikaru-kun about that?

The mystery has been solved means...

that Hikaru-kun can suddenly return to the other world anytime, right?

I'm home...

"I'll be home late. You should go to bed first."

Thank you for keeping me company.

It's okay.

If you think about it, it's the first time we've ever had a drink like this.

Genji...

Did you see the life's sequence on the wall at the Museum in Uji?

I didn't get to see all of it.

Is that so?

Never mind then.

Were you upset because of that?

What was written there?

Nothing.

Nothing?

There was almost nothing written about me.

Then why...

Because I got so confused...

I wonder who I really am...

Tou no Chujo (The Middle Captain)...

The Middle Captain of the Third Rank...

Naka-chan...

Who on earth am I?

Chujo-dono...

Isn't it much more important...

how you live your life than what you are called by others?

Wondering about who you really are is not what's important now.

I hope you can enjoy what's right in front of you now.

Genji...

You really are...

hard to beat.

But no matter how much I've inspired others...

What's wrong?

What Saori-dono said at that time,

it hurt my heart deeply.

Of all the women you loved...

none of them was happy!

Genji...

Most of the words that come out of a woman's mouth are the opposite of what she means.

When she says she doesn't like you, she actually does.

When she tells you to go home, she actually wants you to stay.

Chujo-dono...

You truly are amazing.

If you want to know a woman's true feelings, just look at her eyes.

Because eyes don't lie.

After I got lost and ended up in this world,

I've lived together with Saori-dono in a small house.

After living with her, I realized that women are such interesting creatures.

Whenever I think about it, it reminds me of all the princesses waiting for me over there.

I think that the way I am right now should be more capable of living with them,

and should be more capable of making them happy.

Same here, Genji...

After becoming a host, I got to understand women more...

as I listened to their stories.

Whenever I think about it, it reminds me of what I have done to my princesses,

and it breaks my heart.

Did we actually come here to learn all about women?

If so, then this is such a difficult journey.

I really wanted to make all those women happy, but...

I should at least make one person happy.

That's what I think now.

Are you talking about Saori-dono?

I see.

I still can't beat you, even in this world.

What?

Anyway, this is where I am now!

I have to prepare myself to live here.

You're right.

I want to reconcile with her now…

But what should I do?

You just have to convey your feelings properly to her.

Yes, but I feel like it won't be enough.

Then, give her that.

"That"?

A gift.

Where did Hikaru-kun go?

Philip-san?!

Are you okay?

Yes! Saori-san, I don't have much time.

I made this call while those men in black don't pay attention.

O...kay.

I have found a way to send Hikaru back to his world.

The mystery was finally solved.

Hikaru can now go home.

Will you cooperate with me?

Yes. Of course.

So what should I do?

Saori-dono, are you still up?

Are you asleep?

SIMPLE MONT BLANC

Can amateurs like us make something like this?

That's why Cain-dono is here.

I can already imagine how happy Saori-dono would be.

Peel it, like this.

Hold on...

Good job.

Naka-chan! Naka-chan, that's too weak!

It's done!

Can I ask you something?

Naka-chan, you actually like Saori-san, don't you?

Are you okay with this?

Sending salt...

No, I mean...

Sending sweets to your enemy.

You chose friendship over love?

Cain-dono...

I do love Saori-dono.

I also love Genji...

And you, too.

Naka-chan...

I may be a side character, but I am blessed with the friends I have.

I'm a happy guy.

Naka-chan!

Hang on! It's not supposed to be like this!

You're so cool, Naka-chan!

Cain-dono!

Hikaru-kun, can we talk?

I'm sorry for saying such terrible things to you in Kyoto.

I was also being childish. I'm sorry.

- As a token of apology... - As a token...

Itadakimasu.

I'll gain weight again because of you....

It'll be all right.

It's so good!

I have something to talk to you. It's important,

I also want to ask you a very big favor.

I want to stay here. Forever.

Spending the rest of my life with you by my side...

Wait!

What are you talking about?

You have princesses waiting for you in the other world.

That's right.

If I could return there,

I was thinking to start over with them.

But now...

Living with you here right now,

I think I could do that.

But we should stop wondering about the "what-ifs".

Because this is where I am now.

I made this decision after a lot of thinking.

I want to live here with you.

Can I?

Sorry, you can't.

If that's the case, then I can't live with you anymore.

Why not?

Because I hate you.

Do you mean that?

Yes.

Look at my eyes and answer me!

Saori-dono!

Will you leave my house as soon as possible?

There's no place for me here.

Yes.

Okay... I got it.

Morning.

Morning.

It's about what we talked about yesterday,

can I have a request?

I want us to go on a date for the last time. Next Sunday.

What is a "date"?

It's like a ceremony before a man and woman go their separate ways.

There is such a ceremony in this world?

Yes.

Then, what should we do?

We're probably going to watch a movie or take a walk together.

Aren't those what we always do?

But, it's different.

It's a bit special.

Okay. Let's do that.

Thanks.

So that's what a dimensional jump is like?

When Hikaru's body is in danger,

he seems to be able to travel to a place...

that he wishes or hopes to visit at that time.

In Hawaii with Hikaru-kun, huh?

It must be fun...

Watch out!

That explains how he went to Hawaii!

So you still haven't told Hikaru-kun?

He said something like that out of the blue, so I couldn't bring myself to tell him.

"Something like that"? That's a confession, isn't it?

Please help me.

I want you to help me send Hikari-kun back to his world.

Next Sunday.

Are you okay with that?

Are you really going to send Hikaru-kun back home?

He finally realized his feelings for you.

As long as you keep quiet, you can continue living with him!

I can't do that. It would be unfair to him.

You're so stupid! Stop pretending to be cool!

Don't we all lie and cheat one way or another to make ourselves feel good?

I think you misunderstand me.

I'm not doing this because I'm a saint or something.

It's not that I gave up on him either.

I made this decision for myself.

Sis...

Because I will feel better this way.

I don't know how people were like in the Heian period,

but I just want to give my partner 100 percent in a relationship.

I also want that person to give 100 percent in return.

Huh?

Am I too greedy?

Is that a bad thing?

I get it.

It's okay. This is so you.

Why are you crying?

I don't know!

But...

I love you, sis!

I know!

Gosh!

There, there.

I love you!

The weather is really nice.

It's a perfect day for a date.

I'll be staying at Cain-dono's place starting tomorrow.

It will be my temporary residence.

I see.

Let's go on our date, shall we?

Hold on!

You should wear this today.

Here you go.

I think this is the first time you've tasted this.

- It's good. - Glad to hear that!

This must be good.

It's so good.

I wonder how many times we have walked down this street together.

I have lost count of them all.

In summer, you can get a good view of the fireworks from here.

I wish I could show it to you...

Fireworks?

They go like this, and ka-boom!

They make a really loud sound.

Some big glowing flowers bloom in the night sky,

and all of a sudden, they start to scatter.

I'm looking forward to it.

I can't wait for summer to come.

Saori-dono, let's watch it together.

It's a promise, okay?

No, no. We can't.

We won't be meeting each other again after this.

Is that so?

After all, this date thingy is a farewell ceremony, isn't it?

We can't even make promises anymore...

It's really painful...

You see...

There's still one more place I'd like to go.

Huh? We've been here before...

They're here.

Hikaru-kun, did you enjoy the life you had here with me?

Every day felt so fun.

I also had so much fun.

Thank you so much for everything.

I am glad that we met and lived together.

Saori-dono...

Hikaru-kun, can you tell me your story now?

About the place you treasure the most.

I've never heard you talk about it.

Are you referring to the life in the capital?

Yes.

In the capital of Heian, what kind of flowers were blooming there?

What kind of fragrances it had there?

Well...

It was full of yellow roses...

The sweet smell of agarwood...

The sounds of koto and flute...

The melody of biwa...

The sound of the wind blowing the willow trees.

That's the place you treasure the most, right?

Yes.

Can you imagine your favorite scenery in your mind?

She stepped out.

Hikaru-kun...

Bye-bye...

Saori-dono!

He's vanished.

He must have time-warped.

Take care, Hikaru-kun...

Are you okay?

SIX MONTHS LATER

Itadakimasu.

This place has a good reputation.

Then shall we go to the matchmaking party here next Sunday?

Okay.

Oh, it's so hot.

This summer is unusually hot.

Wow.. it's freaking hot~

What should I do next Sunday?

What do you think, Shark-kun?

Will you go with us?

Yes, yes, yes....

- It's a matchmaking party. - A matchmaking party?

Ah, right, the fireworks festival is today.

Tamaya~

It's so elegant.

You were right, Saori-dono.

No way!

I was so scared that I could barely move!

Why? Why are you here?

I have no idea what is going on.

When I realized it, I was already here.

What are you talking about?

You said that was the place you treasure the most!

Before I knew it,

the scenery I saw with you...

had become the most important thing to me.

Hikaru-kun...

Also...

What?

I'm craving some matcha latte float.

Geez! You idiot!

So adorable...
