Vol. F Ch. 4 Ep. 8: Where All Miracles Begin

And so, Sensei. I beg of you.

Your relationships with all of us...

The precious memories we've built... All those days that we spent together... Please...

Please cherish them.

Yes... Such precious things will never disappear.

Just like miracles...

So, let's go back, Sensei.

To the place all our love exists.

Yes, that is the only way...

By understanding the incomprehensible, we can understand ourselves.

Thank...goodness...

...

Yes. Sensei safely returned to their students.

Thank you. With this...

I'm glad I could save Sensei with my last act.

This is all for me, Arona.

If I stay in the Shittim Chest...the constant overload will burden you.

Go back to your bright and warm classroom.

Then, goodbye. Arona.

Then, I...

...

...You followed me.

Yes.

So it would seem.

I cannot exist here without causing disruptions. There can only be one Shiroko in this world.

...The scarf.

...?

I can't give you this scarf. It's important to me.

...

But...

I can give you this.

This...

...I know what that is.

That's...important. Do you really want to give it to me?

But...why?

I know. It's just as precious as the scarf to me.

It connects me to everyone at the Foreclosure Task Force... It's filled with our memories.

...It's yours.

I don't understand.

It just feels like the right thing to do.

This is...so precious to you though...

It really is. You could rob any bank with this.

I know... I liked robbing banks too...

Ah. That would make sense.

I didn't think the day would come where I'd see this again...

With Hoshino, Nonomi, Serika, and Ayane...

We robbed the Stygian Bank, the secret safe of the General Student Council... What precious memories...

(The secret safe...?)

Thank you, I'll cherish it forever.

Thanks...

...And don't worry.

It should be okay to have two Shirokos here.

And even if something bad happens because of that...Sensei will figure it out.

...Sensei.

Yes. Our world...is protected by Sensei.

Then maybe someday...we could rob...I mean, go cycling together.

No banks. Hoshino would be mad at us.

Yes. She really would be.

Then... Bye, Shiroko. Take care.

...

This place is empty, cold, and barren...

But one day, we'll be able to reach the end.

Yes, maybe one day...

Where are you going?

Wh-When did you?

Where are you going? Home isn't the other way!

...Huh?

Don't go alone. Come home, with me.

...With you?

Yes! It's time to head back.

Would that...really be okay?

Huh? Why wouldn't it be?

Sensei told me to take care of the students.

Taking care of you is my mission, Plana!

Pla...na...?

I can't call you A.R.O.N.A. forever if we're gonna stay together. It might confuse Sensei!

But...why Plana...?

Heehee... I just came up with it. You're like a lone star in the night sky. It kind of feels like you're a bit isolated.

From now on, I want you to light up your surroundings with your starlight, so I named you Plana! You're like a planetarium. What do you think?

Since you're asking me...I guess I'm okay with it...

Then let's go with Plana!

Plana... Okay.

Then, Plana. Let's go back together.

...

Should I...hold your hand?

Yes! So we don't lose each other! I have to take care of you as your sister!

My...sister.

Thank you, Arona.

You're not gonna call me "Sis"?!

I'll call you Arona for now.

*cry*

Then, are we going...home?

Yes! We're on our way to our home, where our story begins!

Also...
