Each of two boys made a childhood promise with Nino to find her one-day through her singing voice. Nino holds on to that promise and continues to sing.
Six years later, the three are now in high school. Nino reunites with Yuzu, but Nino also wants to see Momo again. Yuzu is a member of the masked band in NO hurry to shout.
