「 "If you never let me go, I'll never stop wanting you." 
Then he does. It's too late to realise she didn't want him to. 」

24-year-old Hirashi Mizuki, the promising heir of Japan's leading technology group, somehow finds herself stuck in a video game! Mizuki doesn't know why she's here or how she can get out - her encounters with the mischievous adventurer, Yasui Hinata edging her on to find a way out. Faster. The only way, she finds, is by completing a Final Quest, saving the Land of Astrum from an underlying tragedy. Mizuki swears she’ll do everything in her power to get herself back home. Hinata promises the same, that he'll do anything to restore his home to a place where Mizuki doesn't exist. 

It’s only at the end that they realise - after three years of each other’s company - they’re too attached to let go.

"He offered even though I insisted," Hinata shrugs.

Mizuki hovers her work warily over the plate before slowly taking the pancake apart with it and feeding it into her mouth.

It takes a few moments for her to come to terms with the taste, but once the sourness of the sauce comes together with the sweetness of the batter, finally sinking oto her tongue, her eyes widen in pleasant surprise.

The taste earns a hum of surprise as she swings her fork through the air, waving it around to savour the taste.

"I expected this to be bad but it's a lot better than I initially thought," she exclaims, nodding her head. Hinata agrees, and by the time she has taken to savouring one bite, he has already devoured half of his pancakes.

"We should let him cook more," Hinata suggests, pointing approvingly at his plate. Mizuki agrees, a little doubtful but accepting nonetheless.
