Seven years have passed since then, and Natsu has moved on, when he learns from an old university friend that Mizuki has passed away.

When Natsu learns that Mizuki had given birth to their child without telling him, and she had been raising her alone, he looks back on the seven years Mizuki and Umi spent together...
