It was March, and there was only one month left until the third semester. The day of Mai’s graduation ceremony finally arrived. In front of Sakuta, who was waiting for Mai on the coast of Shichirigahama, an elementary school student appeared who looked exactly like Mai when she was a child. On the other hand, from Kaede’s perspective, she was receiving a phone call from her father… “I was talking about my mother, she said she wanted to see Kaede.” Because she couldn’t accept what happened to Kaede, her mother had that wish since she had been in the hospital for a long time. Family ties and a harbinger of a new puberty syndrome: the ninth volume of a series that shows rapid development!
