The whole world was so empty that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

With the disappearance of Hinata and Naoi Fumito, the Afterlife Battlefront came to a true end.

Otonashi Yuzuru stood in the deserted schoolyard, with Tachibana Kanade quietly keeping him company.

He had never felt the world so quiet.

I never realized that this person beside me was so important.

"We should go too."

Yin Wu spoke softly.

He meant leaving the noisy operations headquarters and returning to the quiet world that belonged to the two of them.

Zou nodded without saying a word.

The two walked side by side through the familiar corridor and past empty classrooms.

The walls are still covered with graffiti drawn by the SSS members when they were fooling around, and there seem to be bullet marks left on the ground after the failed battle.

It all feels like it happened just yesterday.

It all seems like a long time has passed.

Otonashi stopped at the door of the student council president's office.

Zou looked at him with some confusion.

Otonashi pushed open the door and walked straight to the desk.

He opened the drawer and rummaged through it for something.

Soon, he took out a thick booklet.

It says on the cover.

[Graduation Ceremony Procedure Manual]

"graduate."

Otonashi stared at those words and suddenly froze.

He thought of Yuri, Hinata, Yui, and all his companions who left with smiles on their faces.

Each of them found their final resting place in this world and held a graduation ceremony, whether grand or simple.

but.

Otonashi's gaze shifted to the girl beside him.

Tachibana played.

The student council president of this world, the messenger of the gods of this world.

She helped so many people and witnessed so many graduations.

But what about herself?

Did she herself ever have a graduation ceremony?

A thought began to grow wildly in Otonashi's mind.

He closed the manual, a gentle yet firm smile appearing on his face, unlike anything he had ever seen before.

"Kana."

"Um?"

"I have a plan."

......

Viewers across the internet are still immersed in the bittersweet emotions of Hinata and Naoi Fumito's graduation.

As they watched the figures on the screen, their hearts were filled with anticipation for the final outcome.

[Finally, only the two of them are left. Now they can finally have a proper romance, right?]

[Old Su, I order you, the next episode must be sweet from beginning to end!]

Please, please let them have a wedding! We've had enough graduation ceremonies already, let's do something different!

Viewers made wishes in the live chat, firmly believing that after so much heartbreak, Su Bai would give them the most perfect compensation.

They saw Otonashi playing and began running around the campus.

They went to the SSS's operations headquarters and rummaged through the warehouse, finding a whole bunch of strange and unusual combat equipment.

They went to the music room, and Otonashi picked up the guitar that Iwasawa Asami had left behind and clumsily strummed the strings.

They went to the art room, where Otonashi was lying on the table, intently drawing something.

The audience couldn't understand it.

What are they doing? A date? Do they have this many dating options?

What is Otonashi drawing? Is it a love letter?

Why is he carrying a guitar? Doesn't he say he can't play it?

Until Otonashi, accompanied by his instrument, walked into the huge, empty graduation hall.

The lights in the auditorium were lit one by one.

The stage was decorated in a simple yet meticulous manner.

Only then did the audience finally understand what was going on.

The comments section paused for a moment.

Then, I was overwhelmed with immense emotion.

It wasn't a wedding, it was a graduation ceremony.

He wants to hold a graduation ceremony just for Zou, a ceremony that is solely for her!

[I'm so sad! This man is so romantic!]

[Old Su! I take back what I just said! Weddings are so cliché! Graduation ceremonies are the ultimate in romance!]

Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue also covered her mouth, her eyes instantly turning red.

As she watched the busy figure on the screen, all the resentment and fear in her heart transformed into the purest form of emotion.

She wanted to say, "You've finally made a truly healing decision."

Su Bai didn't look at her; he simply stared calmly at the screen.

A familiar, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of his mouth.

He said softly.

"The final stage is ready."

In the animation.

Otonashi Yuzuru stood on the platform and took a deep breath.

The only audience member was Tachibana Kanade.

"Cough cough."

Yinwu cleared his throat, picked up the program manual, and announced it in a deliberately serious tone to the empty auditorium.

"Now, I declare this year's graduation ceremony officially open!"

There was no applause, no cheers.

Only in Zou's golden eyes did a shimmering light appear.

"First item: Everyone stand up and sing the school song."

Otonashi picked up the guitar and clumsily swept his fingers across the strings, producing a few out-of-tune notes.

He sang with great effort, but it was also very difficult to hear.

But Zou listened intently, as if it were the most beautiful music in the world.

The song ended.

"Second item: Speech by a graduate representative."

Otonashi looked down at Kanade.

Zou paused for a moment, then slowly walked onto the stage.

She stood in front of the microphone, looking at the empty seats below the stage, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Um, me."

Otonashi smiled and walked to her side, taking her hand in his.

"It's okay, just say what you want to say."

Zou looked at him and nodded.

She bowed slightly to the audience.

Thank you everyone.

she says.

"Thank you for being in my life."

Two simple sentences, yet they contain all the emotions.

The third item is the issuance of graduation certificates.

Otonashi pulled out his masterpiece, which he had spent the entire afternoon drawing, from behind his back.

It was a graduation certificate drawn with colored pens, crooked and messy.

It says so.

[This award is hereby conferred upon Tachibana Kanade the title of Outstanding Graduate.]

May your future be bright and your happiness everlasting.

The signature is...

[All members of the Afterlife Battlefront]

Zou took the certificate, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Otonashi looked at her and suddenly snapped his fingers.

On the ceiling of the auditorium, several modified combat machines were activated.

Paper cherry blossom petals fell from the sky.

Kanade reached out and caught a cherry blossom, a blissful smile spreading across her face.

At this moment, the comments section of the entire internet completely spiraled out of control.

I declare this the most romantic graduation ceremony I've ever seen! Without a doubt!

[I would call this a confession of the century!]

[Old Su, you know how to be romantic! I'm begging you!]

However, this is not the end.

He uttered that request in an almost whispered voice, a request that was enough to melt the hearts of all the viewers.

"Kana."

"I love you."

"Stay."

"Don't graduate, stay in this world."

"Together, we will become the last guardians of this world, and stay together forever."

His voice trembled slightly, yet it was full of deep emotion.

This was the most perfect ending he could imagine.

It was his plan for eternity for the two of them.

At this moment, the emotions of the entire internet were completely ignited.

A sea of ​​bullet comments instantly flooded the entire screen.

Say yes!

Stay!

[I do! No, wrong channel, but I'm saying yes!!!]

[You old scoundrel Su! If you dare to strike here, I swear! I'll really go through the internet and kill you!]

Faced with Otonashi's heartfelt confession.

Facing the expectations of the whole world.

Zou's body trembled slightly.

She did not answer immediately.

Tears silently streamed down her face.

She turned around, looked at Yinwu, and remained silent for a long time.
