16 years ago
At a certain nursery school, there was a young boy.
His name was Hibiki Imai.
Five-year-old Hibiki was shy and a bit of a crybaby. He always followed his favorite teacher, Guest, around, refusing to leave their side no matter what they were doing.
"Teacher! I love you!"
Every day, he would reach out his small hands toward Guest.
One day, as he was about to go home, Hibiki grabbed the hem of Guest's clothes as usual and spoke with a serious face.
Teacher, marry me when I grow up!
And so, a small promise was made with Guest.
