The conditions upon which our hero is to return home are heartbreaking.

Our hero, who did so much for us,

won't be able to keep any of his memories.

That's just not fair!

I don't want such a sad goodbye!

Guide me, my ENDLESS LIGHT!

michibiite boku wo ENDLESS LIGHT

Do you have something to protect?

mamoru mono ga arimasuka

My true feelings will shine through my overflowing tears

kotoba yori mo sunao na namida kakushi kirenai overflow

Do you have something you believe in?

shinjiru mono ga arimasuka

I sealed away the fragile future

kowaresou na mirai wo nando mo tojikome

And froze my beating heart

kokoro kooraseteita

A dream too grand for these tiny hands

chippokena kono te ni kakaekirenai hodo no yume

My thoughts will someday surpass reality

souzou ga genjitsu wo itsu no hi ka oikoshite

I was swimming through the sea of illusions

maboroshi no umi oyoideta zutto

Through the skies of agony, I wish to deliver this to you!

ima sugu kimi ni todoketai nageki no sora wo tsuranuite

The starry mirror of the night sky illuminates the truth

The scarlet key, my echoing heartbeat, cannot be stopped!

Promise

I can't eat any more...

How many days are left until your summer break?

Well, in Earth days...

Today is April 4th, so...

About a hundred days.

A hundred days?

That's a long time to be gone for. I'll definitely miss you.

There are some long weekends, though, so I could come over for a few days.

I'll come right away in case of an emergency.

Thank you, Shinku.

By the way, Princess,

is such a huge ceremony really necessary?

Of course!

You're our hero, after all!

We absolutely must have a goodbye ceremony!

Biscotti's hero, Shinku, has completed the duty for which he was summoned.

So, today, he shall return home.

Please return the symbol of the Hero, the Divine Sword Palladion, to the summoner, Princess Millhiore.

A little more.

Just a little more!

Please give me just a little longer!

There has to be a way to avoid such a sad ending.

If I keep scouring these pages...

If I look through all these books...

I'm sure to find a way!

So, please wait!

Rico.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry!

Rico...

I couldn't find it.

I knew it! I'm useless!

That isn't true, Rico.

You worked so hard for me.

I may not be able to bring any of my memories with me,

but there's no way I could forget them.

I'll remember you for sure!

Hero...

Oh, before I forget.

I have a present for you.

Here.

A four-colored pen and some portable speakers.

I can't give you my phone, but you could probably have some fun taking those things apart.

I will never take them apart.

I'll treasure them forever!

Forever

and ever.

Thank you, Rico.

Geez, I'm stuck looking after you until the bitter end.

Don't be like that!

I'm glad you're here to escort me.

The Princess has already begun preparing the spell at the summoning grounds.

We can't afford to waste any time.

You're right.

By the way, Eclair,

it's used, but I'd be glad if you took this.

Fine, I'll hang onto it.

Thanks.

Weren't you passing things out to everyone else, too?

Yeah.

I gave some special coins to Lord d'Arquien and the Captain of the Knights,

a cellphone strap to Yukki,

and...

You're giving away all of your mementos.

I'm not very fond of that.

You think so?

Indeed.

So you won't be able to return to Flonyard ever again, huh?

Right.

I'll lose all of my memories of my time here, apparently.

When did you find out?

It's obvious with the way Rico is acting.

I see.

I heard that bringing you here would be easy,

but I didn't imagine sending you back would be so difficult.

How ridiculous.

Well, I'll never forget the things that happened in Flonyard,

meeting any of you,

or that I was able to spend time with you.

Even though you're short-tempered, Eclair, you're strong and honest.

I...

I don't think I'll be able to remember you.

Training, battles, diplomacy...

they all keep me pretty busy.

That's kind of sad, isn't it?

If you're sad that I'll forget you...

If you don't want me to forget...

Then never, ever, forget about us.

And...

come back as soon as you can.

I will.

Shinku...

Princess!

Oh, you're here as well, Tatsumaki?

Yes, he wanted to say goodbye.

I see.

We're the only ones allowed to be here while you return.

It's time to say goodbye, Tatsumaki.

Thank you, Tatsumaki.

We prepared everything while you were on your way here.

When the time comes, you'll make your way toward the sky

and return to your own world.

I see.

You arrived such a short time ago,

but it feels like you've been here for so long.

Yeah.

This is where I met you,

convinced you to become a hero,

and many other things.

But because you came here,

and I was able to be with you...

I had lots of fun!

Lots and lots of fun!

Me too.

I had fun, too.

Because you summoned me...

and I was able to be with you.

But don't worry.

When summer break comes,

I'll definitely visit again.

Next time, we'll...

we'll have more... fun...

Shinku,

don't cry.

We'll definitely see each other again!

We'll never forget you,

and you won't forget about us, either!

I'll never, ever forget.

Bye, Princess!

Shinku...

Shinku...

Shinku!

Please...

Please don't go!

Princess...

I want to be with you forever and ever!

I want to be with you and everyone else, too!

I love you, Shinku!

I, Millhi, will love you forever!

Princess!

I-

I...!

Shinku!

Princess! I love you, too!

I'll definitely come back!

I'll come see you again!

I promise!

Shinku?

Are you awake, Shinku?

Shinku?

I'm coming in!

Excuse m-

Oh, Becky.

What? So you are awake?

At least say something.

Did you just wake up?

Shinku?

Did something happen?

Does it hurt?

So, basically, it's like this...

You think you went somewhere during the two weeks of spring break,

but you have no memory of it whatsoever.

Yes.

But you feel like something really sad happened.

Yes, that too.

Let's see. Memory loss, concussions.

Results Seconds

What?!

Results Seconds

Eighty-four thousand hits?!

You don't need to look it up!

I'm fine.

I really don't think I hit my head or anything.

I just can't seem to remember it.

Are you sure?

Do you want to go to the hospital, just in case?

I think you should get it checked out.

No, no. It's fine.

What about our trip?

Should I call your parents?

Thanks, Becky, but I really am fine.

Let's have breakfast and head out.

I really can't shake this feeling I had lots of fun.

Well, they do say you can sometimes remember things from the slightest stimuli.

I sure hope so.

That's right.

I'm a pretty average seventh-grade boy,

and my best friend, Becky, is always with me.

I'll be an eighth grader after spring break.

Shinku!

Becky!

And there's Nanami, my relative and mentor.

Long time no see!

You two are so cute!

Is this how you greet someone you haven't seen in a long time?!

You're strangling me, Nanami!

Shinku, kiss~

Hey, stop that!

Nanami is the same as always.

My dad's an oceanographer,

and my mom's a marine biologist.

I haven't forgotten any of that.

But, why...

I won't lose!

Why do I have this lingering feeling of emptiness?

I feel like I'm forgetting something really important.

It's so unnerving.

Noir?

Sorry. Did I wake you?

No, it's fine.

I didn't know that sending Shinku back was such a daunting task.

I should've noticed.

This is what he wished for.

These are some books on summoning that I brought from the Galette Library.

Thank you.

A letter?

This seal...

Isn't that the royal seal of Biscotti?

To the Royal Family

Regarding the Summoning of a Hero

A note regarding sending a hero back:

The process of returning a hero is only to be done

when he refuses to remain on good terms with both his summoner and Flonyard.

In this case, the hero will not be able to take any memories or possessions with him.

However, these memories will not be lost immediately,

but rather, are "sealed away" upon his return.

They will take around half a year to disappear completely.

The following conditions must be met in order to summon the hero again:

Firstly, there must be at least 91 days between the day of return, and the day he is summoned again.

Secondly, not counting the summoner,

the hero must promise at least three people that he will return to Flonyard,

and give them some kind of memento.

The items can be anything, but they must be from his own world.

Thirdly...

Princess! Princess!

I'm sorry for coming here so early!

Rico? What's wrong?

Princess, the Hero gave you something, right?

Yes, he gave me this after the ceremony and told me to open it after he had left.

What's inside?

I don't know yet.

Please open it!

It just might be what I'm hoping for!

Sure...

He must give an item of promise to the summoner,

and a document regarding the promise.

The document must contain a promise to return,

and both the hero and the summoner's names.

To my beloved princess, Millhiore Filianno Biscotti,

with appreciation, love, and friendship. From the Hero, Shinku Izumi.

P.S. I will return again someday.

This is a promise as a hero.

Rico?

Yes!

Princess, we can do it!

We can summon him again!

Really?

Yes!

He did keep his promise!

Shinku.

Becky!

Becky! Becky! Becky! Becky.

Becky!

Wai- Shinku!

Becky!

What's wrong with you?

I remember everything now!

Seriously?

It was really fun!

I did so many things!

I made so many friends!

Oh?

Let's go there together during summer break!

Sure, if I'm allowed to.

Hey!

You're having so much fun without me! No fair!

Let me join in!

Sure! Come on!

During spring break between seventh and eighth grade,

I was a hero!

When summer break comes,

I'll go back and be a hero again!

I won't forget the color of the sky that we saw together

Futari de miageta ano hi no sora no iro wo wasurenai

We all ran together, making a wish

Minna de issho ni hashittetayo ne negai komete

We didn't say "goodbye," but rather "I'll see you again"

"Sayonara" ja nakute "Mata aeru, kitto"

Our wish will definitely come true!

Negai wa kitto kanau kara

Embrace them with a warm heart

Atsui omoi de dakishimeyou

those days when we ran around

Kakenuketa ano hibi

A promise we made whilst holding hands

Te to te tsunaide kawashita yakusoku

Until the day it comes true, I'll always be waiting for you here

Kitto kanau itsu datte koko de matteru

I won't forget the stars we saw on the nights we spent together

issho ni sugoshita ano hi no sora no hoshi wo wasurenai

You taught me what it means to be passionate and resilient

oshiete kureta ne atsui kokoro to tsuyosa no imi

When I close my eyes, I can always feel

hitomi wo tojireba mune no oku itsumo

The kindness overflowing inside

yasashii kioku afuredasu

The miracle that brought us together that day shines brightly

ano hi deaeta kiseki no iro azayaka ni kagayaku

A promise we made as our hearts clicked

kokoro tsunagete kawashita yakusoku

Let it keep shining here

itsumade demo kirameite koko ni aru kara

I've shed some tears, but inside my heart

namida yori motto mune no oku kitto

I remind myself not to forget smiles and courage

egao to yuuki wasurenai

Embrace the enthusiasm from those days with a warm heart

atsui omoi de dakishimeyou jounetsu no ano hibi

A promise we made as we formed a link between our hearts

kokoro tsunagete kawashita yakusoku

I'm sure it'll come true

kitto kanau kitto ne

We promised to meet each other again, so let it come true

mata aeru yo to chikaiatta negai wo kanaeyou

With the bond that formed between us as we spent time together

kokoro fureai umareta kizuna de

anata wo yobu kono sora ni

I summon you from the sky

From our promise

kitto yakusoku
