Original subtitles

Galoras is running away.

Why is he being chased?

I don't even know where this is.

There is one thing I know.

This is not the world I was in before.

There is no one here who knows Galoras

Is it me?

Riku, hurry up and finish that.

They're calling me. They're coming this way.

I don't know where this is.

It's not the world I was in.

But, Galoras-kun, you still have to live in this world.

For that, you'd better take my lectures properly.

See you next week, Mr. Riku Kanbayashi.

Damn it. It's the worst He can read it.

A work is worthless if no one read it

That's incomplete.

I don't want it to be read by anyone.

You're not a professional.

I'm not a professional yet.

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 need in society is determination and imagination.

I have a clear vision.

It may be useless to say that to Mr. Kaji who is in his 8th year of college.

Riku, it's good to be in your own world.

It sounds fun to think that you are who you are because of someone else

Can I join you?

I have to get it back somehow.

Cheer him up.

What are you doing?

Wait!

Wait!

I'm sorry for using the stage without permission.

Wait!

Are you okay?

Hey!

What are you doing?

This is bad.

Let's run away.

Hurry up!

Wait!

This way!

This way!

This way!

Where are you going?

I'm okay.

Go!

Galoras met

the only person in this world who knows his existence.

Her name is Shadow.

My notebook.

I don't have it.

Do you usually sneak into the lab?

If you get caught, you're out of school.

Damn!

I wonder if it's at the school building.

How did you contact her?

I didn't have time to ask.

It's not a mistake that you didn't have the courage.

Hey, Maezono.

Long time no see.

Do you know each other?

You know that old friend, the one who studied French with me back in the day? Merci, boku.

Do you remember?

I thought you were in the fourth grade.

Yes.

Once again, I am Kajibara, a fourth-year repeat student.

This is Kanbayashi.

He's a great writer.

A great writer?

Yes.

Yes, this one will sell

Yesterday...

You picked this up for me.

I'm Minami.

Thank you for yesterday.

Ha-ha.

Ho-ho-ho.

Hey.

Wait a second

Keep going...

What is it?

Thank you.

I didn't want anyone to read it.

What?

Sorry.

I read it all at once.

Don't worry.

I'm just embarrassed.

I heard Maejima-san's song too

So we're even

I'm so glad.

Really?

Will you listen to my song?

I'm so glad.

I wanted to listen to it.

I'm so glad.

I want to listen to your song again.

The time stops.

Our fingers touch.

Can you still hear it?

Both of us so clumsy

We turned our precious pages

You're here

I'm here

It's like the world is just the two of us

I want to keep calling you

I feel like you're about to disappear

Everything seems so vivid

This world with you

It's like magic

Sometimes I come here to sing.

Don't you think about becoming a professional singer?

I think you should aim for it.

You can definitely become a professional singer.

Thank you.

I think life depends on what you devote your precious time to in college.

Do you mean that you are devoting your precious time to your work?

Well, yeah

What's going to happen next?

I'm currently thinking about what happens next.

It would be nice if a partner showed up.

I thought so too.

Meeting Maezono gave me that spark feeling

this is the heroine I've been searching for.

I mean. It's the novel.

I got the vibe

Let me read it.

It's fine to wait until it's finished.

I want you to be my first reader.

I might be feeling that spark too.

I don't know what I want

Everything changes

My time to show

I want to lose my way

I want to search

That's not the answer

Don't let me feel

Don't you hate

I'll tell you what will happen next

So if it's up to me, nobody knows it, nobody knows

I've been searching for the place I want to ring

The uncertain sound has always been knocking on the door

I want to sing the uncertain

I've been searching for the place I want to ring

The uncertain sound has always been knocking on the door

Cause I'm still here

I cry, I, I

But I stand tall and fight

I know well I won

Everything, every change is mine

Turn to show now

I want to lose my way, I want to search

Even if that's not the answer

If I'm in the darkness but it's not the bad boy

I'll find my way

I haven't seen it, the worst of it's only soul

I gotta find my way

I won't go back, I won't forget

No matter what the function is

I want to lose my way, I want to search

Even if that's not the answer

Everything, every change is mine

Turn to show now

I want to change, I can't change

Nobody knows it, it's over driving

Don't let my sorrow turn to hate

I'll save you when we have the next

So if it's up to me

Nobody knows it, nobody knows

I'm still here

I cry, I, I

But I stand tall and fight

I know well I won

Everything, every change is mine

Turn to show now

I want to lose my way, I want to search

Even if that's not the answer

Translated by Gnolihz

Are you about to finish your new novel?

Yeah

Let me read it

Sorry, I'll be out soon

You don't want me to read it?

I didn't say that

It'll be in the book store soon

It doesn't have to be now to read it

Before, you used to let me read it first.

It's a long time ago

Yeah, it's a long time ago

It's the final stretch

so please don't get in my way.

get in your way?

Did I ever get in your way?

Now, now

I'm swamped right now, can we do this later?

Shadow... Shadow...

Shadow

Galoras. I'm....

There's something to be done

Galoras

chose to continue his journey

I just sent the data

I'll go by taxi right away

It's okay, sir

You must be tired

The meeting for the movie is scheduled for tomorrow

We have an autograph session from there

Please come by our office at 10

Okay

Tonight marks the first time in 50 years that a supermoon lunar eclipse will be visible.

Clear skies are spreading across the nation tonight.

Each full moon has its own name.

In the past, people looked at calendars like they do today.

Galoras choose to continue his journey alone

The End

Hey

What the hell are you doing? Hurry up and get here.

Hello

Director, where are you?

I'm at the office. Hurry up!

Oh, no

What's going on?

Kanbayashi!

Kanbayashi!

As you said, that's definitely true.

So, as the top candidate for the lead role...

I'll try to win over Takumi Kitamura.

I apologize for being late.

But deciding on a lead candidate without consulting the original author is unthinkable.

Kanbayashi, why did you come in?

You called me.

Kanbayashi, you and Komatsu are going to the signing session.

The signing session is in the afternoon.

And what a disrespectful thing to do

You guys got this far thanks to who?

Kanbayashi!

Get back to your own work already.

Mr. Kanba, what's your attitude towards Mr. Gensokyo?

What's wrong with you?

Wait a minute—could it be he doesn't like the ending of the new series?

If that's the case, what kind of attitude is that?

What's wrong?

Keizu-san, I need Kanbai-san to attend the signing event, but i don't know what to do to make him doing his job.

I'm the one who doesn't get it.

By the way, who are you?

Calm down, Riku.

The fact that Galoras is losing Shadow is an inevitable result of continuing this series.

Even if you don't agree with it, this approach is just feel wrong.

Galoras?

It's nostalgic.

Chronicles of Blue Dragon , have you completed it?

Completed?

So you've been writing all this time?

Of course.

That's amazing.

I really respect that

But most of the time dreams get written off because of work.

It's not a dream, it's a job.

There he is.

You're going to the signing session.

Wait, where are you going?

I don't care.

It's not over yet.

If it's over, I'll ask you later.

Hurry up.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Hurry up and get ready.

Okay. Mr. Please

I'd appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Kanbayashi

Kanbayashi

Who is he?

Let's go to Sakuragi-cho for the time being.

The minimum temperature tomorrow morning is 17 degrees.

The maximum temperature is expected to be 22 degrees.

That was the weather news.

This is traffic information.

In the Shuto-Kosoku Line No. 4,

the line will cross the Daiei River for construction purposes.

The rest will go to Eifuku.

The lower line will go around the inside of the Toshinkanjyo Line.

What the hell is this?

The Toshinkanjyo Line will cross the Dohashi Junction.

It is 7 km to the Koi Junction.

The next station is the 12th station.

Kameida Seiji's Music Jump Show And now, today's guest!

This week's album release, Ambivalent, has brilliantly claimed the number one spot on the charts.

She will be heading straight to the gates of oriental markets.

This is a live broadcast from the studio in front of you.

Many fans are watching.

The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment.

Chronicles of Blue Dragon

Minami Maezono

Hello?

Riku?

Are you okay?

Kaji-san

Everyone's worried about you.

Kaji-san, do you know Minami Maezono?

Huh? Of course.

Of course, didn't I tell you before that we were studying languages ​​together?

That's right.

We were in the same university.

Come on, you know that too.

Thanks to repeating a year, I got to spend the same amount of time as Minami Maezono. You were so bitter about it too, weren't you?

I was able to get to know Minami Maezono a little differently.

Huh?

Then, I didn't know Minami when in college?

Huh?

You've never met her before.

I mean, you knew her after she made her debut, right?

It was after they were selling quite well

Riku?

What about the novel?

Didn't I write a novel?

You said you didn't want to be made fun of by the editor-in-chief.

But you still wrote it, didn't you?

Riku?

It looks like I've lost my mind.

It looks like I've been dreaming for a long time.

I thought so, that's why i rushed over come here

Kaji-san

I was getting married.

I didn't know who it was.

Who was it?

Minami Maezono.

That's what I thought.

But you know what?

There's nothing scarier than a fan who's driven to obsession.

Huh?

I'm going to start the inspection.

Okay.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I apologize for the inconvenience

A memory disorder.

Didn't the doctor say so?

I'm not the one who's gone crazy.

It's the world.

In other words, this world is a parallel world for the protagonist.

It's my favorite setting.

It's not about the novel.

So what's the cause?

I was writing a manuscript as usual.

To finish the new series.

Is that all?

I had a fight with Minami last night.

So that's it.

It's not that simple.

It's surprisingly simple.

You know it's a novel.

I'm not talking about novels.

As a fan of Ritchie SF,

I'd say plots like this parallel world stuff fall into two types.

One is a distortion in space-time, or a solar flare

well, there are various ways to describe it, but

I don't know how it happened, but that's how it ended up.

That's what they call God's prank.

Give me a break.

And the other one is the pattern of someone wishing for it.

Who?

The person who flew through time and space?

There's no way I'd wish for it.

Or the person around the person who flew in.

A lover, a family, a friend, a friend.

Maybe it's me.

Is that so?

I don't know.

But I don't think it's Kaji-san.

Hey, hey.

Even I wish for a world other than this one.

That's surprising.

Well, based on what I've heard,

the most likely candidate seems to be Minami Maezono.

You mean she got sick of me just because we had a fight and it kicked me out?

Does that mean I have to make up with her to return to the original world?

You two weren't even dating, so there's no way we'd make that up.

But first of all,

I have to get closer to Minami Maezono.

Like the places she frequents go or whatever

The people in my department are researching it, so I'll ask them.

I know that the best.

Because you're a passionate fan.

Because we're a couple.

Yes, yes.

Then what about her friends and family?

Oh.

Kazue-san

Today is the day your grandaughter comes.

That's right

By the way, when is the next concert?

Your granddaughter will prepare the tickets.

That's funny thing to say, but

i'll be the one who sing.

It's nice to sing together.

Yes.

Oh.

Hello.

Well.

It's been a long time.

What?

Do you know me?

Of course.

I shouldn't forget someone important.

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 chinese egg Tart

Minami-san?

Who is she?

She's Minami Maezono, your granddaughter

And you?

I'm Riku Kanbayashi, who is married to Minami.

Right

You're a reading volunteer.

I'm so glad.

I already tired of reading

What's this?

Will you read it for me?

Well.

Read this?

Yes.

What do you think?

No.

Grandma.

Who are you?

Are you a fan?

No.

I'm a volunteer who came to read a book.

Grandma

This person

He said he will protect me

No.

I'm sorry.

Listen.

It's a chinese restaurant egg tart

I'm sorry.

A fan came in without permission.

Minami.

He's important to us.

Who is Minami?

Minami.

I can't forget my own grandaughter's name.

That's right.

Grandma.

He's a good person who reads books for me

Minami.

I'm sorry about that earlier.

He gots a little carried away with this interview with Mr. Minami and went too far.

I'll make sure to tell him properly,

So I'm truly sorry for the trouble I caused.

Hey.

It's getting cold.

Eat up.

I was treated like a stalker.

You were a stalker.

I've seen how hard you're trying.

So stop running wild on your own.

This is the business card of the man from earlier.

I thought I'd seen this somewhere before.

turns out he's the exclusive producer.

After I handed him my business card too, he just accepted it without question.

So entertainment reporters were snooping around?

From stalker to paparazzi

Paparazzi?

At least a justification was obtained.

It's a good reason to go around Minami.

If she hate me, it will be pointless

Well, let's stop then.

If you determined to live in this world

You'll have to spend a wonderful day as a Minami fan.

I always took it for granted when she always on my side.

She love sweets.

She's good at cooking.

She's teribble at horror movies.

but she's still watch it with me

She's always trying to be cheerful

When she's nervous, she tend to shake her hands.

When she smiles, a dimple appears on her left cheek.

That Minami is gone now

There's no way this world is worth living in.

You have a bad mouth.

You don't deserve to live in this world.

This is all I have in this world.

That's because it's beneath me over there.

I'll give you all of this. You!

So please

Please cooperate with me.

Please.

It's delicious.

I'm glad.

I have to thank him.

I bought this today.

I threw away the old one.

What a waste.

That man in the glasses.

He's a bad guy.

He's a good guy, too.

I don't like him.

What about you, Ahiko?

I'm Minami.

Okay. I see

I'll talk to you when we meet.

I'm looking forward to it.

Do i have to show my face?

She doesn't want to see you.

What don't you like about me?

My glasses?

Maybe.

The call just now was from the publisher's group

We'll meet tomorrow.

Why?

What on earth is he thinking? He's come full circle and brought up work again.

I'll meet up with them first to see for myself.

What are you up to?

Well then

It's your decision?

What about Minami?

If you're there, I'll come with you.

Okay.

Let's do this

Operations Department

Kanbayashi, Salesperson. That's it.

What is the story?

Actually, Kanbayashi is the author.

He's been releasing several works, but i can't disclose their titles. Because he's has worked as a ghostwriter for a renowned author.

He's got the ability, but he's never been in the spotlight

But he's a great writer.

So let's finally make him debut.

He wanted to make Minami Maezono the theme of his debut work.

That's what he suggested to me.

His affection grew so strong that it turned into a stalker-like obsession.

He's regretting it a lot.

I was angry with him.

This bastard

Forgive me

Minami Maezono's birthday

was produced under the direction of B1 producer Tetsu Tadokoro.

He would uncover the true story of that miracle through meticulous reporting.

He can describe the miracle of reality in a detailed interview.

He can draw it with a certain output.

So you're a writer?

Well, I've heard enough about your enthusiasm.

I need you to tell me more about the interview fee and the royalty contract.

Well, that will be discussed later, ummm, with the office.

Up to the office.

We can't talk without deciding that.

Mr. Tadokoro is a music producer.

Not only music production,

I accept all the products about Minami Maezono.

That's right. That's right.

By the way,

I'm a classmate of Minami Maezono at the same university.

Actually, I'm in the same class as him.

Originally

What kind of story?

What?

It seems my grandma trusted you quite a bit, though.

No, no.

She just wanted someone to read her a book aloud because there was a book she wanted to hear.

Was that a letdown?

I have another appointment coming up, so I'll have to go now.

Please feel free to email me for further details.

I understand.

Let's go.

I accept.

What?

Really?

Thank you

I believe my love for music comes from my grandmother.

My grandmother was a singer for a while.

She wasn't famous.

She stopped singing to raise you instead of your parents who passed away.

But how do you know that?

You read it in an interview, right?

I feel like my very existence took away my grandmother's songs.

So I just couldn't bring myself to start writing lyrics in earnest.

But there was an incident that started it.

When I was in the fourth year of college,

I secretly sneaked into the hallway the night before the Shinkan Live and sang.

It's the same.

Same?

No, no.

Did you meet someone there?

Yes.

A man saw me singing.

It's me.

He's just creating this in his head while he's interviewing

so don't worry about it.

Yes.

I happened to found by a man from K-On! circle

He was very popular there.

So they recruited me

It wasn't me?

But the band disbanded after graduation.

Then i started my solo career.

I passed the audition i applied for in my first year

So you were able to make your debut?

Yes.

So you were successful if you didn't meet me?

What?

It's heavy. It's heavy.

Is this room dark or hard to talk in? Oh, me...

Anyway, I'll be waiting here. How about it?

Why don't you talk outside while getting some fresh air?

Okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Take your time.

I'm sorry.

It just got little heated up

No.

You know me better than I do.

I'm surprised.

Not only as an artist,

I want to know Minami Maezono's everyday true self

Is that Minami Maezono? It looks like she's coming out

What?

Really? That's right, yeah, yeah

No way.

No way.

True self?

I never thought I'd be asked to show my true self again.

I haven't lived my own life the way i want for years.

My body and hands are insured

I'm not allowed to cook

I'm not allowed to drive

And i live everyday in hiding

All the costumes and stages are prepared by the people around me.

So i can be an artist like Minami Maezono.

Even so,

what I sing is

an ordinary daily life.

An ordinary daily life.

Do you want to see the scenery when you have a daily life?

What?

So nostalgic

Oh, right.

You went to this university, too, right?

What's your major?

Literature.

You went to the same university, too.

We must have missed each other somewhere.

What do you see here?

Look.

It's a good place to run away from here.

What are you running away from?

Oh.

I want to have a live performance here one day.

Will all the audience fit here?

Therefore, I'm not being allowed to do it.

I'd like to watch it here.

Maezono's appearance.

I don't regret giving up singing.

I chose to live with my family

on my own.

When I was a singer,

everyone knew about me.

You know that, right?

Yes, I do.

Would you like to read a book?

A book?

You came to read this, didn't you?

I was going to read it.

By the way,

isn't that guy with the glasses here today?

What?

You really shouldn't do that.

There is someone better out there for you

Grandma.

I'm sorry.

Don't write that kind of thing.

Oh.

Is Maezono Minami dating music producer?

It's a big scandal.

It's cheating.

It's a not true

In your mind, you know

Now that we can meet, there's no need to rush—just take your time and make your move.

If anything else comes up, let me know.

Yes.

Did you say Minami?

What?

Is she dating the producer Tadokoro?

No.

Isn't that wrong?

I was always singing here.

Why were you singing here?

I don't know.

I forgot why I started singing.

Didn't you want someone to listen to you?

That's what you call professionalism.

What about you?

I was stubborn.

I didn't want anyone to see it until it was finished.

A novel only gains meaning once it's read.

So the first person who gave you an impression was a professional editor?

No.

Oh, right.

I forgot the souvenir.

Let's eat.

Yes.

I hate it when the Egg Tart here sells out, so I've never even mentioned it's my favorite food on any media platform.

You said you liked sweets.

You're good at cooking.

Don't you make it yourself?

I'm not good at cooking.

What?

I don't usually cook for myself.

I thought you liked cooking.

That's weird.

I've never met you before.

Thank you.

I think I remembered my true self a little bit.

I'm so glad.

I'm glad.

What is this?

It's an exchange of articles.

Please don't publish the article.

What's the problem with the editorial department?

It just got in.

If You publish it now, you'll miss the big news.

I'll write an exchange article.

Can you publish a stronger article than this?

I'm going to look for it right now.

Whose permission do you get for the interview?

Of course, I get permission from the editorial department.

What are you doing, Kanbayashi?

I'm very sorry. I'm very sorry

So it was an undercover investigation.

It's a ghostwriter, and he's lied about it so many times

False resume and defamation

Of course, they're ready to be sued now.

This is an article that came out of nowhere and unrelated to us.

The rest is court's job

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't you have any excuses?

I didn't mean to do this.

That's the truth.

I'll convince him.

We won't sue you.

I deeply regret trusted you.

I'm done with this

I've never met you. Even once

Is that okay?

Being involved with you will only bring misery to Minami.

Don't ever show your face again.

This is the climax.

It's a bridge that the main character fell into.

I'm going to turn it back from here.

That's enough.

What could i probably do with this?

What's the matter? You asked me to do it

I'm very sorry.

I've always been so self-centered.

You're such a selfish bastard.

The other day, you said you didn't deserve to live in this world.

You did the other day really pissed me off, you know.

But I was trying my hardest to write novels and make Minami happy.

But why, why does nothing go right, no matter where I turn?

Spit it. Spit it out all.

If someone like me were around, it would lead to unhappiness.

That guy Tadokoro really goes too far.

Let's knock him out sometime.

If I write a novel over here, wouldn't it sell again?

i can't get back to writing it from strach again

I was able to write it because Minami was there.

I was able to write it because Minami was there.

Minami was able to sing because I wasn't there.

I've learned my lesson well enough.

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.

Mr. Abukawa is seriously slow at writing, so make sure to nudge him along. He doesn't like to contact by phone, but he also don't even bother to reply to emails and texts.

If you could just make a little more space for Mr. Kazahaya, it might be a bit too small otherwise.

It doesn't seem to be selling very well, so...

Please

Well, we'll have to figure something out there.

It was rejected once, but I still think it's a work that could become interesting if rewritten.

I cried once, but I think it'll be fun to rewrite it.

Thank you.

Let's take a break.

It's okay. I'm just a little tired.

You're still hesitating?

You have the talent the world wants.

It's okay. Just leave it to me.

Please start tomorrow's live rehearsal at 6 PM.

No, no, no.

I just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.

That guy's starting to seem like he's got some of memory disorder.

He means no harm.

He might be stupid and selfish, but he's just thinking about you.

He's trying to change his heart and doing his best.

I want you to know that.

Are you okay, Minami-san?

I'm looking forward to working with you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next, please.

Thank you.

As this is our first meeting to discuss the film project, I'd like to talk with Zach Baran. But first at all, thank you very much for the proposal. It was excellent.

Thank you

Well, I mean, with Professor Kaneko present, we'll see what direction things take, I suppose. So I contacted Komatsu directly

Thank you

Are you nervous?

It's okay. I'm looking forward to it.

Sorry to keep you waiting

Huh?

You read this?

Are you reading it too?

You were approached about singing the theme song for the movie

I read the side part, and I found his name.

He's the one from the previous publisher.

Did you expect it would be from him?

Did you?

No.

I just heard that it's popular. So i bought it

It said that it was a piece that she and his editor work together.

You can't let the writer think you're accompanying the writer

You have to make the writer think he wrote it by himself

It's evidence that they can't control the creator's mind

No.

That's right.

You're good at keeping things under control.

The thing is, you're not supposed to get caught realizing that.

I'm grateful.

Anyway, I decline this offer

There is no need to face him.

Are you the one who decide?

When I was still living with Minami,

I found a padded envelope in the closet.

There was a CD in the envelope,

and it's Minami's song was being recorded inside.

I thought she had applied for an audition and got rejected

but it turns out that she didn't even submitted it.

One day i found out about it

Even i knew it, i didn't say anything to her

I've been pretending not to know for years.

I thought she lacked confident.

I was angry at her for that

But in fact, she sacrificed herself

and supported me.

Even though Minami had been supporting me all the time,

I didn't know that.

That's why i got punished

Gradually, wonder what happen if this world is never existed

Maybe it's all my delusion

Please take care of her.

No, there's nothing I can do right now.

If I could go back, there's so much i could do for her.

If you go back, you have to be prepared to lose something important.

When I was a singer, there is no one who doesn't know me

Do you understand?

Hold on. You don't mean that, right?

What?

Nothing.

Kaji-san, i was going to call you.

Come here quickly.

To the office?

I have the day off today, though.

Minami Maezono wants you.

Thank you for waiting.

Now that we're all here...

I read The Girl and the Rabbit.

Yes.

It was really great.

I read the afterword too

This work, sent to the editorial department, was originally rejected and packed away in cardboard boxes, I hear.

That's right.

Mr. Kanbayashi help me rewrote it.

I recalled the time before my debut when I sent demo tracks to record companies as last resort

A song written by confronting the feelings of my former self, who was still nobody

It never got released as a single, but I think that song would have been perfect as the theme song.

It's still unfinished, so I want to hear everyone's thoughts before finalizing it.

Of course,

including you.

If you help me,

I want to take this job.

Of course.

Then Kamibayashi-san will be in charge from now on.

That's right.

I can't thank you enough.

That's good.

Thank you for such great news.

Minami is going to be glad to hear that.

See you there.

Thank you.

I think it'll be an amazing song

Really? Yeah, I'm glad.

That's right.

I got this from Kazue-san.

but I'm going to return it to Maezono-san.

You're not going to give it to me?

If you're going to give it to me,

I'll take it from you now.

Okay.

I'll give it to you.

Oh.

You've made up your mind, haven't you?

What do you think?

Does it look good on me?

There's something I have to tell you.

You've been a stalker since you were in college?

Actually,

we know each other very well.

That's right.

You know me very well.

You're a passionate fan

That's not it.

You and I

were a couple.

What happen when we got to close?

We loved each other very much.

So I know everything about you.

One day,

I was trapped in a new world.

That's this world

The world I was in before,

I was a novelist with a hit novel

and you were my wife.

But in this world,

you're a top singer

and I'm just your fan.

In one night,

I lost everything.

You're a great singer.

and you love other person

It's an interesting story.

But I think it's a little cliche

We were a couple.

If we met eight years ago.

Did we meet in college and fall in love?

At first, everything went well.

But

It's no longer like that.

Did I become a jerk?

Was I just a jerk from the start?

I can't talk to you properly anymore.

It's boring.

It's not that interesting.

If you're going to do it anyway, make it a happier story.

You're right.

I'll think about it.

If I met you eight years ago,

I'd fall in love with you at first sight.

What do you think?

It's awesome

That’s when I fall deeply in love.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

A love that makes we feel like we're the only two people in the world

We don't have any money,

but we go wherever we go.

We do everything together.

Then I became a singer

and you wrote a bestseller novel.

But we've always been together

It also doesn't matter when it didn't sell. We always together

We travel a lot

and have a lot of children.

We didn't have any children.

and you don't have to stay like this

No.

I want to raise three children.

And a dog.

I'm busy with work and raising children.

I don't have time to enjoy happiness.

I don't even have time.

Before we know it,

we'll be grandparents in no time.

And at the end,

we live in a beach house.

We drink tea while listening to the sound of the waves.

Until the last day,

we spend time together quietly.

Good life, right?

That's right.

It's a very good life.

Hey, what's wrong?

Was it such a good story?

It's awesome

I want to live that kind of life

that's why i was writing a novel.

Since when did you change?

I wonder when it started.

Hey,

there's a place I want to go.

Take me.

Let's go.

So this is where you live.

Hey,

would you like some coffee?

Yes, please.

Is this the title of the novel?

Are you writing it?

No.

I tried to write it, but...

I can't seem to write well

Thank you.

Soryu Senki (Chronicles of Blue Dragon)

Can I read it?

It's the kind of dark story you dislike.

Don't you want me to read it?

No.

It's him.

I'm sorry.

Come home now.

Do you understand?

I understand.

I'm going home.

He's there, does he?

Hand over to that man.

Welcome home.

I have champagne,

what would you like?

Cheers.

What's wrong?

Because

You know this guy, right?

He published that news article.

What can you do for the artist Minami Maezono?

This shouldn't be a midnight date. Isn't it?

Yes.

Well,

I feel like celebrating today.

I have good news for Minami.

Finally,

We have a contract with an overseas agent.

What?

When the next tour is over,

We will move to Los Angeles

You will support her as a fan, right?

The person with the talent has the responsibility to succeed.

For that,

what she needs is not you,

but me.

You are in the way of Minami Maezono's success.

You understand that, right?

Sorry to bother you.

Is leaving Japan really guarantee the future?

My grandmother is here.

How many years have passed since you said that?

There is no way for that person to get better.

Don't say that.

You too should make a clean break.

The artist's expiration date is not that long.

Kaneko-san?

What's wrong?

Mr. Kanbayashi.

You won't answer the phone.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

It's water

Where have you been?

Before the book is published

Kanbayashi-san has always watched over me

The book has been published.

The talk of a movie adaptation came up.

Kanbayashi-san

It's like you're losing interest in me.

No.

That's not the case.

You said that the writer and the editor

are one and the same, right?

Kaneko-san

Wait a minute.

That's weird.

It's not weird.

Wait.

Kaneko-san

I don't see Ms. Kaneko in that kind of way.

I only respect you as a writer.

What about Minami?

What?

What about Minami?

I got it.

She didn't answer the phone.

Hey, Kanbayashi.

Yes?

Local “The Girl and the Rabbit” Author Rumi Kaneko accuses her editor at Bunpōsha of forcing a relationship and committing sexual harassment, including touching her body

Boss is also preparing for the lawsuit

She says you're using your position to getting closer to her

It's a completely different story.

I guess so.

But it can't be helped.

I'll talk to the lawyer about this.

You stay at home for a while.

I understand

Mr. Kanbayashi.

Mr. Kanbayashi.

Mr. Kanbayashi.

Mr. Kanbayashi.

Mr. Kanbayashi.

Kanbayashi.

About the film...

It turned out to be back to square one

That's right

I'm glad it wasn't announced yet.

Let's go.

Thank you.

I'm home, Pechika.

It's Riku, Riku

Riku, this is my son, Pechika.

Hello.

Hello.

So spacious!

What the heck?

I bought it when we got married.

It's Kana-chan.

So nostalgic

In my world, Kaji-san broke up and is single.

So I just assumed that was the case here too

In this world, you two get married.

We often ate together.

But I'm single now.

You can use it freely.

Okay

Thank you.

This is...

It's interesting that he's reading it.

I'll let you borrow it.

I'm curious about what happens next, though.

You can return it whenever you like.

That's right.

It's no big deal.

This

I have to take good care of it.

You took it back, didn't you?

I took it back.

I guess I can take this with me after all.

Of course.

It's all yours now.

Why you don't write a novel? You've got nothing else to do, right?

I'm not in the mood for that.

Kaji-san.

Woi

Stop it.

That's not why I invited you in

Kaji-san, what's going on?

Didn't you get married?

Three years ago,

Kana went for a walk with Pechika as usual.

That day,

the truck got on the sidewalk.

Only Pechika came back.

Kana went for a walk and hasn't come back.

You came to the funeral.

You should tell me

I don't know.

You know, don't you?

I've always been helped by Kaji-san.

Please tell me if there's anything I can do.

You've done enough for me.

You listened to me,

we ate together,

and you lowered your head about work.

I'm just returning the favor I received three years ago to you now.

Hey.

Is there no worth in living in this world?

If I could live in a world that's not this future

I probably did everything I could.

I'm still a little jealous of you.

I've always wanted to live in a different world,

not here.

But my wish won't come true.

I have to do what I can do here,

and live here.

I'm sorry.

Write a novel.

I guess you want to be the novelist again, don't you?

Yes.

But...

It's not just that I want to go back

I remembered there was someone I wanted to read it.

You're not even dressed.

Anyway, write it.

Write it with all your might.

Do your best. Okay?

I'm going to bed. Good night.

Wait.

Hello?

I saw the news.

I'm sorry to bother you.

What are you going to do from now on?

I'm thinking of writing a novel.

A novel?

You said you wanted to read it before.

I have a notebook.

A notebook?

A blank notebook without anything written on it.

I heard it was very interesting.

Yes.

Ideas are always in my head.

If I write it, I want you to read it someday.

Where are you now?

I'm looking at the sea.

This is a nice view.

You know it well.

I went to the end of the tour and got it added.

I wanted to sing there someday.

Are you going to college?

Eh

That's good.

It's the birthplace of Minami Maezono.

It will be the last concert in Japan.

I see.

I want you to come and listen.

Okay

Galoras met her. The only one who know him in this world Her name: Shadow.

It's interesting.

You're talented.

The combination of Galoras and Shadow is the best.

But Galoras will lose Shadow.

Why?

If he doesn't do that, he can't move forward.

What?

Change the story

The ability to freely shape a character's future is the author's privilege, right?

Without Shadow, It's lonely, you know.

What's wrong?

I see.

I see.

I see.

Why didn't I notice?

Minami read this ending.

She didn't want this ending.

You said that i came here because someone wanted something.

Minami wanted a world where Shadow was active.

If i change it to a different ending and read it, i can return to my world.

I get it.

I see.

Congratulations.

I'm glad.

I get it

Good evening, everyone.

I'm Minami Maezono.

Thanks to everyone, I was able to come this far.

Please enjoy it until the end today.

There was something he had to do. Galoras chose to continue his journey alone.

I made a new decision.

Shadow!

Don't die, Shadow!

Alongside with Shadow

The End

Hurry up!

Tell the printer.

Hurry up!

Alright, I'm heading out first.

The moon is very beautiful.

That day, the night when the world changed, it was also a rare moon.

Then it's a combination.

The content of the novel and the fight.

In addition, it's a rare moon.

After all, it's not Minami.

I wished for it.

Surely.

Then the end is decided.

If you wish it, you can go back to the way you were.

This is where we part ways.

Kaji-san

No need to be so formal.

Get along with me over there.

Okay?

And to Kana-san

As long as she's okay, that's fine.

I'll persuade her to get back together with Kaji-san.

Please be careful.

I was able to live because of Kaji-san

I will return it all to Kaji-san over there.

Run, you won't make it in time.

Yes.

See you.

Kazue-san

Are you alone?

Thank you.

No.

Oh.

That's....

I wrote a novel.

For Minami to read.

Today is the last day.

She's leaving Japan.

That's not it.

You chose it, didn't you?

Excuse me.

Can you guide me?

Yes. I will guide you.

To return,

you need to be prepared to lose something important

Yes.

Minami.

This is the novel you said you wanted to read.

Did you finish it?

It's not a dark story.

It's a happy ending that you will like.

I want you to read it after the show

I'm looking forward to it.

Minami, 10 minutes before the concert.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Good luck with the show

Still hanging around?

Today is the last day.

I'll disappear as soon as this is over.

Minami, please.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

I'm Minami Maezono

Thank you.

The next song is from before I debuted.

I just made it because I wanted someone to hear my song.

This is an unreleased song.

Someone reminds me of who I was back then.

I was able to complete it.

Please listen.

The time stops

Our fingers touch

Can you still hear it?

Both of us so clumsy, we turned our precious pages

You are here

I'm here

It's like a world for just the two of us

I want to keep calling you

I felt like you're going to disappear

Everything seems so vivid

The world with you

It's like magic

I wonder if the spell will be broken someday

I'm here

No matter how many times we say goodbyes

I want to sing, I want to tell you

My feelings are overflowing

Don't forget

Because I'm here

I will always remember you

And I still believe it

And I still believe it

You and me

It's like magic

I wonder if the spell will be broken someday

I'm here

No matter how many times we say goodbyes

I want to sing, I want to tell you

My feelings are overflowing

Even now

I will always remember you

It was a good show

Thank you

What's wrong?

Wishing you happiness. Bye

Where are you going?

No matter where i go, will you love me?

I'm here now

It might not have been the case after all.

Even if I'm not here, do you still love me?

Is he different?

I'm sure

Why?

I'm sorry

You can't read the novels

I'm an idiot

I was writing a novel for myself again

I was thinking about myself

I was repeating the same thing

This just won't do.

What does that mean?

I don't want to ruin your world anymore

Don’t be ridiculous!

What is this?

You just keep saying whatever you want

Ever since you showed up, you've been writing about me nonstop.

That was certainly true at first.

You only think about yourself

You thought you were selfish

But the truth is different

You've been working so hard for me all this time, haven't you?

That's right

that's what I was planning to do

But the truth is

What is the truth?

You actually wrote a novel

Isn't it?

That was for myself

Didn't you want me to read it?

Let me read it

I don't mind after you finish it first

Yeah

I want you to be the first reader

That's right

I thought I was going to do that.

Before I knew it

Then

Do it again, please.

Again?

Tell me the new one

This time

Properly

For me

I wonder what word to begin

What should I talk about first?

That's

It's already started

Not yet

What I'm thinking about now

Ouch

You're late. It's your turn for breakfast, aren't you?

Minami?

Oh, right. Let's think about the new song title together.

I can't think of a good one.

Wait a second, what's wrong, Riku?

It hurts!
