Taka-kun, I left early again today, okay? -Charles

Today we're broadcasting from Hatsune Island, home of the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree.

Fuji-san, if you will.

Yes, we're here live from Hatsune Island.

Nii-san.

Good morning.

Yeah, good morning.

Da Capo

It's still cold outside, isn't it?

Yeah.

With the cherry blossoms always in bloom like this,

you can't tell when spring is coming, can you?

Not at all.

It's so cute!

If we don’t hurry, we'll miss the bus.

Oh... Later, then.

Nii-san, wait!

Good morning, Senpai, Katsuragi-san.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's almost time for the graduation ceremony, isn't it?

The days go by quick, don't they?

Speaking of graduation, there's the party.

It seems like Lulu-nee's been busy preparing for that recently.

What are going to do about our graduation edition of the newspaper?

I heard about Sakura-chan later from Ricca-san...

Continuing to investigate the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree would be...

Why don't we just leave her be?

I agree with you.

Me, too.

Yes!

I wonder what's going to happen this evening.

Tomorrow evening, come to the Everlasting Cherry Blossom Tree...

I'm excited.

Speaking of which, we never did solve the mystery

of that message we received before.

The one that said, "When the cherry blossoms bloom,

go to the promised place"?

I think both those mysterious messages

must have something to do with each other, but...

Nii-san, what do you think?

I'm not sure...

But I think, once we figure out yesterday's message,

we'll be able to unravel the mystery behind the one we received before.

In other words, everything will become clear this evening, right?

Well, it's nothing more than intuition, though...

You might be right, Kiyotaka.

Ricca-san!

Good morning!

Actually, about the graduation edition...

We were all just talking about that.

And?

Keeping Sakura in mind, we decided it would be

better to write our articles from a different angle.

I think so, too.

Ricca-san...

Is it just me, or are those two acting suspicious?

Huh?

Ever since the events with Sakura-chan,

it feels like those two have suddenly grown a lot closer...

I think so, too.

Self study

Student Council Room

If anyone has any opinions regarding this year's graduation party...

I do!

Ricca?

You're very motivated today.

My, my, how unusual.

Go ahead, Ricca.

Yes.

I see you're back to normal.

Huh?

Lately you've been looking down, and I was worried about you.

After I learned about Sakura-chan, I thought, "Oh, so that's why," but...

Have I been acting that strange lately?

Strange?

I'd say you've always been strange, actually...

What do you mean?

Now, now.

Still, we're about to graduate soon ourselves, but it just doesn't feel that way...

You're right...

Though, there is one thing I have to make clear before our graduation.

Huh?

So then Tony...

Yoohoo!

Taka-kun!

Hey, Lulu-nee!

It's just our usual skinship.

I asked you to hold back at school....

Then, it's okay if we're at home?

Where at home? The living room? In bed?

Or... in the bathroom?

Th-That's not what I mean...

You don't like it?

It's not that I don't like it, just...

Nii-san!

Himeno?

Forget it!

Hey, Himeno!

Senpai?

Sara...

Did something happen?

Well... nothing, really.

What about you, Sara? Did you need me?

Oh, yes... No, well...

Senpai, could you help me practice my swings after school?

Your swings?

For softball...

Do you mind?

I'd love to help you practice,

but after school we're all going to check that message...

Oh, that's right!

Maybe next time.

Yes.

What's wrong? You seem off today, Sara.

Huh?! D-Do I?

Kiyotaka-san!

Aoi-chan?

It's sad to see Sakura-chan gone, isn't it?

Y-Yeah, I guess... But...

Um, please let me know whenever you're feeling sad, okay?

If you'd like, I'll treat you to my naked apron anytime.

No, that's...

Naked... apron?

Ah! Sara?!

How dirty!

It's not, um...

I'm waiting in the courtyard. -Himeno

Himeno?

Himeno.

Nii-san.

Sorry about earlier. I kind of, um...

It doesn't matter anymore.

I see... By the way, what did you need me for?

What's wrong?

Don't stare at me.

Oh, sorry.

Himeno.

Tell me.

Tell me how you feel, Nii-san.

How I feel?

Nii-san, who do you—

Taka-kun! There you are!

Caught you!

Lulu-nee, again?

Taka-kun, your feelings are for me, right?

Jeez, Charles-san!

Charles-san, you're not being fair!

H-Hey...

Jeez, everyone, what are you doing?!

How dirty!

Hey!

Kousuke?

You look like you're worn out.

Not really...

Now, is it because you were suddenly hugged by Charles-senpai in the hallway?

And then afterwards invited to practice swings with Sara-chan,

followed by a temptation from Aoi-chan,

and now this scene in the courtyard with Himeno-chan?!

Are you some stalker?

There it is! That sigh!

You're wondering which girl you should choose, aren't you?

Must be nice, being able to worry about something like that.

I really envy a happy celebrity like you.

I envy you...

So this is where you've been.

Ricca-san...

Sheesh, I spent a while searching for you.

Did you need me?

Yes.

I forgot to give you this at lunch.

It's still a bit too cold to eat on the roof.

Don't complain. This'll help you stay warm, right?

Well... But...

If anybody saw us like this...

I don't really mind, but...

Do you?

I...

There's no way you would, right?

The two of us have already kissed, so...

Huh? Ah... R-Ricca-san!

Ricca-san, can I ask you a question?

What?

It's about Sakura...

About Sakura?

Uh... I can't say this very well, but...

For some reason... I get a feeling we'll be able to see Sakura again.

So?

Ricca-san, do you know anything?

Um, in the memories of your past life, or anything...

Why do you think that's related to my past life?

Because, well... you remembered more when you met Sakura...

So I thought she might have something to do with your past...

Besides, it seems like you might know something I don't about Sakura...

Do you want to hear about our past life?

Yes.

Then where should I start...

After all, I was a category 5 mage, known as The Lone Cattleya.

I remembered all kinds of interesting tales,

like using magic to solve cases.

No, not those stories...

I know!

You're talking about the night we first became one, right?

You were so manly that night!

I don't meant those stories either...

Jeez, Ricca-san...

What do you want to know that for?

It's been a while, Yoshino Kiyotaka!

Huh? How?!

Lately it seems you all have been too involved with this girl Sakura,

causing you to neglect your newspaper!

We don't need you worrying about us!

Have you forgotten?!

Our competition is not over yet!

It's not!

Seriously, don't forget it!

Your competition doesn't even matter.

Let's go, Kiyotaka.

Uh, right.

Wait! We will not allow such selfish action!

Taka-kun, I found you!

We were all looking for you!

Yes!

Just when I wondered who you were with...

That's not fair, Ricca! Hogging Taka-kun!

Huh?

I've been holding back so far,

but Taka-kun, just who do you have feelings for?

Huh? Again?

I'm asking you which girl you choose, Taka-kun!

Huh?

That certainly would be a good thing to make clear, wouldn't it?

Even you, Ricca-san?

Nii-san, this is a good opportunity.

That's right.

Today, we're going to have you make it clear.

So, who do you choose?

Huh? But that's...

Um... Suginami-sama, I think we're being completely neglected here...

Club Member #1!

Yes!

They got us good.

What was that, just now?

I don’t know.

Huh? Where's Taka-kun?

We should be all right this far away.

Yes.

Um, continuing our earlier discussion...

Are Sakura and your past...

More importantly!

Who do you choose, Kiyotaka?

You're still on that?

Well, it's important!

The past isn't important!

What I remembered, what happened in the past,

frankly, none of that matters.

But... If you're the only one who knows, it doesn't feel fair.

Not fair?

I guess...

But you knowing that doesn't mean

it's going to turn out that way in the future.

Besides, that wouldn't be much fun, would it?

Just moving along a path to predetermined results.

Ricca-san...

So what's important is the present.

Sakura made her decision and moved on.

It's about time we made our own decisions, too.

You're right.

So!

What's important is how you currently feel about me, right?

But... That has nothing to do with...

My feelings haven't changed.

Just like I told you before,

I love you now, as my present self.

So, what about you?

Ricca-san...

Hey, Kiyotaka...

Let's kiss.

You said so before... next time, you wanted me to ask first...

Yes, I did say that, but...

Ahh, this is the same as last time...

Next time I want you to ask me, Kiyotaka.

Ricca-san...

There he is!

Jeez, we were looking for you!

Oh, sorry, sorry...

Now we're all here.

So, let's continue!

Nii-san, this is very important to all of us.

B-But...

Then let's ask once again.

Kiyotaka, who do you choose?

Well, um, you see... I...

I...

wish we could stay like this forever...

What?

Did I say something wrong?

Sheesh, that's not answering the question!

Now I feel stupid for being nervous.

You said it.

Well, this indecisiveness is just like Kiyotaka, though.

Honestly, it really is just like Nii-san...

Good evening. It's been a while.

Or should I say, nice to meet you?

Sakura-chan?

But... she doesn't seem the same...

Plus, she said nice to meet you...

Who are you?

I'm... Yoshino Sakura.

What do you mean?

That's right,

you all helped take care of the other me, didn't you?

The other you?

All of us have met before in a different place.

Judging from your reactions, it looks like none of you remember...

Don't remember?

What I know is the fun times that I spent together with all of you...

And the final promise we all made in the very end.

When the cherry blossoms bloom, go to the promised place...

Then, you sent that message?!

Yes.

It took a bit of time, but I was finally able to see you all again...

Wh-What's going on?

This all feels kind of nostalgic.

I've been thinking that same thing...

I don't understand why, but it feels very nostalgic...

That's because you're the one I was most attached to, Kiyotaka.

What?! Really?!

Wow, Kiyotaka is as popular as ever.

A-Anyway, you know something, don't you?

Everyone, will you listen to my story?

It's a bit of a long story,

but once you hear it, I think everything will be solved.

See, I even have the perfect snacks.

W-Wow!

Sleight of hand?!

No, it's magic.

Magic...

This is all I can do now, though.

But...

this is one of the best magic spells

for making people smile.

Now then, are you ready to listen?

One girl, and one cherry blossom tree.

One promise and one modest wish...

And a precious feeling that remained unchanged for decades, even centuries.

No matter how many seasons came to pass,

spring would always come, carrying the smell of fresh cherry blossoms.

A tale of beginnings, and that dream-like dream,

repeating just like a da capo.

Hello, young lady.

What's wrong?

Are you... asking me?

Yes.

What's wrong?

Um...

That's a very pretty light pink.

It's very cute, just like you.

Huh?

I'm talking about that.

You... know what this is?

It's a "sakura," isn't it?

Yes, though I've never seen that variety before.

Saku...ra?
