As would expected, it really became five years since Akaria and his friends went into hibernation.

During the years, Himai joined the Mihama Middle school along with Silla, the daughter of Hikari and Manaka.

She notices that Silla was asleep during class as she pokes her friend in a curious state, "Silla... Silla."

The teacher said, chuckling, "It's all right, Himai." He slightly touches her head with his notebook, "Good morning, Silla ."

The fourteen year old girl seems to be woken by the slight tap as she grew embarrassed by the situation.

"Oh, I must've fallen asleep again. I'm so sorry about that, teacher." She said, apologizing to him.

"It's all right. You know, you do have your father's talent, and you remind me a lot of your cousin, Akaria."

Silla was amazed of her teacher mentioning Akaria. Her dad never mention about her cousin, or that he actually existed.

"My cousin, Akaria?" She asks, as Himai nods at her confusion, "He's not here at the time being. It's been five years. I would be actually amazed if he does come back. "

"Tonight's the nine moons. We will camp out in the ocean sea bay, how's that sound to you guys?"

The class was excited about the event, as Silla was silent at her thoughts, "The nine moons, huh? What's so special about that?"

Himai walks with Silla, "It's going to be an interesting night, huh, Silla? I never seen the Nine Moons before, but Tsumgu and his professor assistant, researching the ocean, maybe possible to enter Shioshishio."

Silla asks, "Do you really think it is possible, to enter Shioshishio, I mean?"

Himai said, "I really don't know for sure. It is my home , but because of the current weather... I'm hoping so."

Silla was amazed by her friend's actions. They knew each other since she can remember, and it refers to her to think of Himai as not just a friend, but as a sister as well.

Tsumgu looks at the campsite in the distance.

"It's kind of nostalgic . It kinds reminds me of how we found Hikari, isn't?" The Professor asks Tsumgu .

He said, "In a way, yeah. It's hard to believe it's been five years. Hikari and Manaka has Silla as their child, and I'm going to be a father soon."

The professor nods in agreement as they watched the students of Mihama Middle school.

Aki , a classmate of Himai, rushes after her.

"Himai!  There is something you should know. I know that you missed Akaria and your friends. 

I... I have a crush on you!" 

Aki's words sprung her with shock, but she knew in her heart that she loves Uma. 

"I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else." Himai explains as she walks away from him, as Aki said, "Who's this guy you like so much?!?"

Himai ignores him but she notices something happening to her Ena and the ocean.

She runs as Aki exclaims, "Himai!" 

Tsumgu also notices the same thing.

"It can't be." He said, as the Professor asks, "Is that fish swimming towards here?"

He runs as fast he can as he bumps into Himai. 

"Himai! Did you see it too?" He asks her as the Ocean's Ena blooms with light, covering their eyes from the light.

As they came to, they turned around to see an familiar face, lying where Hikari first re-reached the surface.

"Akaria!" Tsumgu cries as he and Himai looks in fear. 

Himai couldn't believe her eyes as she looks at her friend as Tsumgu covers him with his jacket that he wore for the night.

"He looks the same from five years ago, just like Munia and I first saw Hikari when he awoke from his hibernation." Tsumgu explains to Himai who looks scared about her friend's condition.

Himai exclaims, "He's not breathing! " 

She does the breathing exercise that she has learned as Tsumgu said, "I'm not sure if mouth-to-mouth would work on him like last time, Himai."

Himai ignores him, as she trying to get Akaria to wake up.

Akaria feels something as if everything has slowed down, then he opens up his eyes as he notices a person was looking at him directly in sigh of relief that he's all right.

"A-Akaria?" She asks nervously, but his first instincts were concerned about one person in his mind.

"Shelby, no!" He gasps as he gets up as the person sat in silence, not saying a word.

He notices the girl with a curious tone, "Who are you?"

That was when he heard a familiar voice that he knew.

"It's Himai, Akaria." 

"T-Tsumgu?" He asks as he looks at Himai who was still in shock .

His eyes widen with sadness as if he knew something was completely wrong, out of place.

Kaname was with Chisaki as they waited for Tsumgu to return to their house.

Kaname notices how much she was worried about her friend, as he said, "I'm sure Tsumgu will be back. 

I know it's going to be awesome to see your daughter comes in." 

She smiles , "I know but it is hard to believe it has been five years." As Kaname was about to respond to her, he notices his friend walking in.

"Tsumgu! Man, you really gotten us worried for a while there. How did the Nine Moons festival go?" Kaname asks. 

That was when he looks up , "He's back, guys. Akaria. He came back." 

Kaname and Chisaki were in total shock as if they didn't suspect anything like that was even possible.

"He hasn't changed at all, guys. He's exactly what he is , five years ago. Himai took him back to Hikari's. " 

Kaname said, "I have to see this for myself tomorrow." 

Silla peeks through her cousin's bedroom door with a someone pulls her back.

"Dad!" She exclaims, but Hikari shushes her to follow him to the balcony.

"I'm sure that you have a lot of questions." He said to his daughter.

Silla rolls her eyes at her father with pure annoyance, "You think?!? How come you never told me about Akaria? Does he really know you're married and have me?!? " 

Hikari sighs, "I am so sorry that I didn't tell you about Akaria. The truth is, I wasn't sure if Akaria can handle the new changes since the Ofunikiki five years ago.

Just let him recover and take things slow. He must've been tired after all this time." 

Silla sighs , but she still wants to know about Akaria , even though he has no idea that she was his cousin.

She went to his bedroom as he finally opens the door with a confusing look.

"You look like Manaka, but you have my uncle's eyes." Akaria said, as Hikari said, "Oh, Akaria, you're finally awake.

Don't worry , you will adjust the brightness in here since you just reached the surface." 

He pushes his nephew back to his room, as Akaria said, "Was it really Himai? She looks five years older now, so I guess that things have changed." 

Hikari closes the door as he was lost in his thoughts, "I am glad that you're back, Akaria. You're really back." 

 Akaria couldn't sleep as he looks at the night skies of Oshiooshi .

"Have I really gone that long? " He asks himself.
