In this vast sky, it is a world where angels and humans coexist. People live happily on the ground, while angels stroll above the sky.
The parents sitting in the audience looked forward to the upcoming stage play with anticipation, and Uchiha Ryo and Yukinoshita and the others were naturally here.
However, it was a pity that Hayasaka Ai had taken a leave of absence last week, so the only girls attending the elementary school culture festival today were Yukinoshita and Chitanda.
"It's finally their turn to perform... this morning was really tiring."
Uchiha Ryo and the others sat in the first row. Yukinoshita also rubbed her sore shoulders. "It's even more tiring on my side, okay..."
Saying that, Yukinoshita held back the excited Chitanda Eru, signaling her to watch the performance quietly.
Yukino was already imagining how excited Chitanda would be during the Hoshin Festival. After all, she could have so much fun at an elementary school culture festival. This morning, Yukino was almost dragged by Chitanda to run all over the school.
"You guys had a lot of fun this morning. Was Hana disappointed that she didn't see me?" Uchiha Ryo had just arrived at the school. As for the morning, he was naturally preparing snacks for Hana.
"That child has been waiting for you, her brother. But sometimes I really doubt if there is any sense of distance in age... Chitanda can actually completely integrate into the thinking of those children, and play together with Hinata and Noa..."
As for Yukinoshita and Hana, they followed behind the three energetic kids like parents. To be honest, except when encountering delicious snacks, Shirosaki Hana's thinking is completely like an adult, very mature.
"Well... I can probably guess Eru's case. For Hana, maybe it's because she stays with Rumi every day, she's almost becoming Yukino number three..."
"Number three what?" Yukinoshita turned her head in dissatisfaction.
"Nothing, let's continue watching the performance!"
As the entire hall darkened, a beam of white light shone on Hana, who was wearing a petal cape, until she stood in the center of the stage.
When the cape was removed, Hana in her angel state finally appeared, and the beginning of the story was about to start.
Uchiha Ryo clapped. "Who wrote the story for the stage play, you guys?"
Yukinoshita shook her head, "This is an original story thought up by their school teacher. I don't know the specifics either, let's just keep watching."
.....
The protagonist of the story (Angel Hana) completes her angel work every day, which is to use the bow and arrow of love to deliver affection to mortals in the human world.
Then one day, while working, Angel Hana discovered the boss who opened a snack shop (Hoshino Hinata). Hana fell in love with Hinata at first sight, and dropped an angel feather when she left.
Hoshino Hinata, picking up the feather, saw the back of Angel Hana leaving, and developed a deep curiosity about the owner of the feather.
Can love also sprout in an angel's heart? Hana shot an arrow in the sky to connect their hearts, and took advantage of the night to come to the mortal realm, to Hinata's side.
"But... being with you, an angel, I will also die early. How will you feel when that time comes?"
Hinata rejected the angel's feelings because she understood that human lifespan has limits. Unless she transcended humanity, she and the other party would eventually be separated by life and death one day.
Angel Hana returned to the heavenly realm in despair, little knowing that her secret descent to the mortal realm had long been discovered. However, the kind Lord of the Heavenly Realm gave Hana a chance.
The only way for an angel and a human to tie the knot is to lose the identity of an angel, become a human, climb over the heaven and earth mountain range named [Time], and finally arrive at the mortal realm.
Hana's mind was made up. "I won't be an angel anymore! My Lord!"
The angel finally lost her wings and arrived on the snowy mountain. She had to climb over this mountain range as quickly as possible to reach the human world.
And Shirosaki Hana, who lost the protection of angelic power, could only endure the biting cold and her almost numb feet, advancing step by step... This was an opportunity for her, and also a trial!
She accepted this trial of becoming a mortal. So-called growth is to defeat and surpass one's past. This does not mean that mortals are stronger than angels; it simply means that Hana's feelings for Hinata surpassed the power of angels.
She finally came to the town she had once descended upon, and she finally became a mortal who could walk through life with Hinata!
Thus, Hana knocked on the door of the snack shop.
"May I ask who you are?"
The familiar voice and appearance did not appear, and the person in front of her was a stranger.
"Hinata..." Hana kept muttering in her mouth. This was also the belief that allowed her to climb over the snowy mountain alone with the fragile strength of a human!
"Hinata? Are you looking for my grandmother? But I'm sorry, my grandmother already... a few years ago."
The biggest barrier between angels and mortals is time. Therefore, the mountain range that can turn an angel into a mortal is named [Time]... Angel Hana crossed the Time Mountain Range, only to find that decades in the mortal realm had already been consumed.
Hana in her mortal state passed away peacefully in the snack shop, attended by Hinata's granddaughter. When Shirosaki Hana's soul ascended to the sky, she was surprised to find... Hoshino Hinata, who had already become an angel, had been waiting for her all along.
.....
Yukinoshita clapped sincerely. "In short, it's worthy of being an elementary school stage play. No matter how tortuous the story is, it will mainly focus on a happy ending."
Chitanda sobbed with emotion. "Hana acted so well. Ryo-kun! Your pudding is ready, right?!"
"Of course, it should be ready by now."
Uchiha Ryo stroked his chin. "But... if people turn into angels after they die, why did Hana have to work so hard to become human? Wouldn't it be fine to just wait for Hinata to pass away?"
Yukinoshita was also thoughtful. "Maybe not everyone turns into an angel after death. Hinata might have been naturally kind or received the blessing of other angels or something."
"According to this theory, an angel first blesses a human, and then kills her... Crash Course Angel Plan!"
Uchiha Ryo's imagination began to expand continuously. "Human lifespan is limited, so angels directly bless everyone, and then launch a human purge plan... All-Member Angel Route Cleared!"
"Ryo-oniichan!"
The stage play ended, and Hana quickly ran off the stage and threw herself at Uchiha Ryo.
"Why didn't you come this morning, Onii-chan?!"
Uchiha Ryo rubbed Shirosaki Hana, who was still hugging him tightly. "Of course it was to make pudding for Hana. Now the pudding is ready, and your stage play is over, so let's go eat together!"
Shirosaki Hana looked up, sucking up the drool at the corner of her mouth. "Mn! I've been looking forward to the pud... Onii-chan coming over since this morning!"
This child. Uchiha Ryo's brain suddenly acted up, and he asked Hana.
"Hana, if Onii-chan and the pudding fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
Shirosaki Hana was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously. "Of course it's Onii-chan!"
Uchiha Ryo was very moved! He decided to let Hana eat a little more later. Anyway, he made enough pudding this time.
Shirosaki Hana smiled. I can still distinguish between being full for one meal and being full for every meal!
