Charm ~ Forget-me-not Hourglass ~

-We're going to change the world!!!! -

When I graduated from nursery school, I was given an hourglass filled with mysterious flowers.

Three-colored tiny flowers.

They sparkle when the sun shines on them.

They're mysterious, aren't they... Teacher...

Twenty years have passed since then.

I came to a shrine in a rural town.

A shrine at the end of a big river, it's as if I've wandered into a storybook.

The lady at the shop kept recommending this charm, so I ended up buying it because it caught my eye.

It has a tiny stone on it.
What did the lady say it was...Ah!! That's right.
"Lemon quartz"!!!

That lady says really weird things.
It's annoying.

"When this charm breaks off, the change that will occur in you will be a bridge to happiness. Hold on to it tight."

...she said.

That's stupid...

...

Sensei.
Ever since the day I got lost in that shrine, a series of strange things have happened to me.

The reason I remember you like this is because I feel like the light of the flowers in the hourglass and the sparkle of the lemon quartz are in sync.

Number one!!!!

Why!!!?!?!

Ever since I got lost at that shrine,

my work performance has been dropping!!!

All my coworkers are going out drinking with other people!!!!?!?

I'm being left out!!!!

My best friend got married right after she got a boyfriend, and now that I think about it, the friends around me are also getting married in droves!!!!

I must have had left-behind syndrome, ugh!!!!!!!!!!

My family kicked me out of the house, and even my pet Tama passed away last month.

...Come to think of it.

I've always...
made a promise to you, teacher...

"When I grow up, I want to sing with you. I want to write songs together. I want to have a beautiful voice like yours and sing.
Would you like to become a singer with me?"

Even though I was young, I took an adventure.

Ever since then.
Maybe my teacher was a special person.
Instinctively.

If I were to write a song now and share it with the whole world.
I wonder if my teacher would understand it.

I don't understand adult society.

Strangely, when the hourglass sparkles.
I can see it in the shape of a teardrop.

Teacher.

Are you crying?

Why...

You understand the teacher's feelings so well, don't you?

Why...

Everything has started to go wrong...

The protagonist was instinctively drawn to the teacher he met as a child.

Even though the power of the amulet they encountered as adults caused the two of them to grow apart.
Even though they are in different positions.

"Let's be surrounded by creativity"
"Let's change the world together!!!!!!!"

The grown-up hero and his teacher who actually wants to go back to childhood a little.

The prologue song in which the two, who have discovered that the world is completely stained by darkness, reunite as hero and heroine.

Wish.
Sing.
Don't give up just yet.

Now that she has fully retired from music, Megumi weaves for you a summer song of courage and mission as her final work.

Everyone.
Be enveloped in creativity.
Let's fight the cold.
Together.

We'll change the world.
