"You really are a foolish girl huh?" Shijima crossed her arms.

      "Heh." Y/n snickered. "People tend to do foolish things when they're inlove."

      "Oh my~" Shijima puts her hand on her cheek on what she had heard. "You know I'm also a sucker for romantic things, but what you said is making me ship you with No. 7!"

      Shijima crosses her arms as she leaned against the walls. "So you'll go meet him and the confront him, huh?" she asked. "What else?"

      "I'll convince him but it will have some curse words in there of course." Y/n sassily tells her. "Then we can go back to our world."

      Shijima sweatdropped. "I guess I should be congratulating you." she said.

      "But if you stay carefree like that, this world will be finished and you guys won't be able to go home." she explained. "Convincing him can come later, we need to leave this world."

      "I got it!" Kou exclaimed then pointed at Shijima. "You're the one who created this world right? Then you should be able to do anything you want!"

      Kou grasped on to Shijima's blazer as he aimed his staff at her. "Let us out of here, if you don't I'll beat you up."

      "Kinky..." Mitsuba and Y/n said in unison. Then the two of them looked at each other and shook hands, meaning they agree with each other.

      Shijima tied and hang Kou to the ceiling then dusted her hands. "But No. 4!" Mitsuba called her. "Can't you atleast stop this world from finishing?"

      "I dunno what went down but don't you intend on helping us out?"

      "Well I do intend to help you guys but I'm unable to slow the completion of the world." Shijima stated. "It's also impossible to allow you to leave this world since we have these rules we needed to follow even in our boundary."

      "Oh!" Y/n pointed out. "You guys are supposed to connect with the rumors, if you don't then you'll disappear. Am I right?"

      "Correct." Shijima patted her head gently.

      "But you said we have to kill Mitsuba-kun and Hanako-kun in order for us to leave." Yashiro said.

      Mitsuba stopped then looked at Yashiro weirdly. "But we can't just do that."

      "I see if that's the case, why not get No. 3 to create an explosion and blow up the Honorable No. 7?" Shijima suggested.

      "What?!" Mitsuba says in disbelief. "No way! It'll be better if we just be happy and live here together!"

      "I wish we were all happy." Y/n deadpanned.

      "I was originally dead but Minamoto-kun helped me be happy." Mitsuba rambled. "Nah let's just live here——"

      A bandaged paintbrush hits Mitsuba on the head that made him fall sidewards. Y/n's eyes widened. "BRUSH-CHAN!" she cheered.

      "Come on don't talk about that stuff!" the paintbrush wrote.

      "Oh my god Brush-chan!" the paintbrush floated and hovered around Y/n.

      "So this paintbrush is your friend Ghosted-senpai?" Mitsuba asked while rubbing his head.

      "Pretty much but Hanako-kun broke the brush as if he was the God of Destruction." Y/n rolled her eyes while explaining, then her eyes lit up with joy at the paintbrush. "I'm glad you're alive!"

      Kou stepped down on the ground. "That brush followed you earlier, Y/n-senpai." he told her.

      "But it was broken so we decided to fix it." Yashiro added.

      "Then we led it to where you were resting, basically." Mitsuba finished. "Aren't we kind?"

      "I was the one who fixed it." Kou sighed.

      The paintbrush floated over to Shijima's hands. "This is a failed clone of myself that I once tried to make."

      "A failure?"

      'Damn Y/n you didn't have to diss her like that.'

      "Yes, as the creation and the overseeing of this world means little to me." Shijima's eyes turned soft while looking at the paintbrush. "I sometimes end up making them, these clones are reflections of my feelings."

      "Damn Shijima I like you." Y/n complimented her then swatted her hands. "As friends I mean!"

      Shijima chuckled at her. "I guess this one left over when I was getting rid of the rest."

      "Do you mean the door that connects to this world to the real one?" the paintbrush added.

      Y/n cheered as she hugged Yashiro. "Yes! That's it!"

      "Wait there's one of those?" Kou asked.

      "I didn't have to explode right?" Mitsuba questioned. Y/n walked over to Shijima to ask about the door.

      "Whelp!" She sighed happily in defeat as she opened the windows. "You caught me, yes there's an exit you have been looking for."

      The five of them saw the floating steps outside that was leading somewhere to the top. Y/n and Kou guided Yashiro to the steps so she won't fall, as for Mitsuba and Shijima they already headed first.

      Y/n stared at the shooting stars, ever since she can remember, she loved looking at them along with the moon. "Wow, look at those shooting stars." she said. "Aren't they beautiful?"

      "In this world, the stars are really beautiful." Y/n pointed out. "Much prettier than the real world."

      "I never felt so happy when we went stargazing at the rooftop, but I also wanted to go to the real world." she said as she faced Kou and Yashiro.

      "To be honest, I really love being in this world. I really enjoyed being Hanako-kun's girlfriend even though it's fake. I even thought about living in this world instead." Y/n looked back at the night sky, holding back her tears as she talked about how she felt. "But I was wrong."

      "Those sweet nothings, cleaning the pool together, going to classes."

      Then tears began to pool out of her eyes. "Stargazing together." she choked a sob.

      "I just don't know what the hell is he thinking as he was doing this." Y/n wiped her tears. "I get it, he wanted me to live, but I just freaking don't know anymore!"

      "Maybe Hanako-kun was masking his emotions around us?" Y/n suspected. "Just because he's a supernatural and I'm human, he has to act like that. I just wanna understand!"

      "I really don't know what he was thinking, though." Kou admitted. "But we never truly learned his wish though."

      "I think he was acting all the time." Yashiro stated while twiddling her thumbs.

      "I don't think that Hanako's wish is to lock me up in this euphoric world." Y/n looked up to the sky again. "I wonder, what is his wish anyways?"

      "I bet." Kou wrapped an arm around Y/n. "The one who has to wake him up, it's gotta be you Y/n-senpai!"

      "After all, the person he only ends up forgiving, is only ever you, Senpai!" Kou flashed her a smile.

      Y/n smiled back at him, she felt epiphany by his words.

      Yashiro stood next to her, smiling with her. If she could choose people who would be with her to the ends of the earth, then there's no doubt that she will choose her bestfriend and kouhai.

      "Thank you guys, for being by my side all the time." Y/n tells them. "I love you guys so much."

      "Now let's get out of here together and prove that Crazy Knife that he's wrong!" Y/n cheered.

      "Yeah!"

      Mitsuba looked back at them and sweatdropped. "Oh my god, they're so loud." he said.

      Then they finally reached the end of the steps. "We've walked really far, is this the exit?"

      "Nope but we can see it from here!" Shijima assured them. "Please watch carefully!"

      In a snap of a finger, a big bright moon appeared with small clouds surrounding it. Y/n admitted that the moon was pretty.

      "Wow...it's the moon!" Y/n says excitedly. "I always wanted to go to the moon!"

      "You really do love Astronomy, huh Y/n-chan?" she asked.

      "Of course!" Y/n's eyes lit up with joy. "I would literally talk about it for the whole day without getting bored!"

      "This moon tells us on how long we have to wait until this world was finished." Shijima explained. "When our time is short, it comes out like this."

      "There's always an exit that's been prepared, the location changes constantly." she added. "It tends to be in the place where the main characters can't reach."

      "This time, the location is the moon." Shijima looked up and saw Hanako standing on top of the roof. "This is a reflection of your emotions, is it not?"

      "Honorable No. 7?"
