In my eyes, the world is an extremely small community.
I'm trying to save that world by destroying it.
I told you about that, didn't I?
Yes.
Could you lend me a hand?
Sure, if that is what it takes to save a world.
But...
First we have to find the gravekeeper called Scar.
I don't mind.
It's not like I'm in a hurry.
Please, my God. Tell me, what should I do?

Where Gravekeepers are Born
Got it!
It's 318°, which is three degrees north by northwest.
She isn't even a single millimetre off this time!
Julie, please just keep driving straight!
Go!
Okay!
Here we go!
Yahoo!
Sally forth!
To my dearest friend, Ulla-sama, and to Kiriko-sama as well,
Continuing from where my letter left off yesterday,
this is part four of my status update!
So, after we escaped from Goran Academy,
we were able to successfully drop Tanya-san off at her parents'.
And believe it or not, apparently everyone from Goran Academy is going to be staying with Tanya-san and her family for a while.
Everyone said that eventually they will set out for their various destinations.
To bring you to present, we just started racing toward another wasteland.
We've departed on a journey to find Scar-san,
who suddenly vanished from Goran Village without a trace.
Our navigator for the journey is... Celica-san!
Boo!
Since Celica-san was able to draw Scar-san to her in Ortus,
I'm confident that she can find Scar-san this time around!
Hey...
It's kind of late to be asking this, but...
Are we really doing what's in Scar's best interests by tracking her down?
W-Where did that come from?
Well, isn't Scar actually a gravekeeper?
Gravekeepers are supposed to travel on their own,
following the aura of the deceased.
In which case,
doesn't that mean Scar merely resumed her natural calling?
That... could be the case.
But I'd much rather hear Scar-san tell us that herself.
And to be honest, I want to see Scar-san!
I don't like the idea that I'll never see her again.
Agreed.
Really, I should have offered her better support.
Ai, after you vanished in Goran,
Scar became mentally unstable.
She'd go from constantly holding Celica,
to suddenly abandoning her.
And there were times she'd go from daydreaming...
...to suddenly trembling in fear.
I knew that something was off.
Yet I didn't do anything!
Damn it!
Yeah, yeah.
It's still northwest plus an additional three degrees north.
I still can't see Scar-san.
I can't see her!
Sure can't.
Why didn't you tell us that it's your birthday?!
Well, no one asked...
You're supposed to make a big deal about your birthday!
Sheesh!
If Dee-san didn't remember, we would have missed it!
Today is Alice-san's-
Yesterday.
Huh?
His birthday was yesterday...
What?!
That doesn't matter.
It's no big deal.
Pops, is there anything I can do to help?
Wait just a minute!
This conversation isn't over yet!
I'd say it is.
I said it's not a big deal, so what's the problem?
B-But it's your birthday!
It should be a happy birthday!
You only get to celebrate it once a year!
That may be true,
but this really isn't the time for that nonsense.
I am going to save the world.
And I'm willing to do whatever it takes!
So who cares about some birthday?
Hey, let it-
That... isn't right.
Alice, it isn't right to look at it like that.
You shouldn't remove aspects like this from your life.
Birthdays are something we all celebrate together.
Alice-san, how old are you now?
Sixteen...
Alice-san, I hope you had a happy sixteenth birthday!
Now let's celebrate!
Julie-san, do you know how to bake a cake?
You bet!
Then please do!
Let's hurry and dig in!
No, wait!
The best part is yet to come.
Huh?
Go on!
Blow the candle out!
Be sure to make a wish.
This is good!
Hey!
Well?
Did I scare you?
Then how about this?
Hey, knock that off!
Now for this!
D-Don't go through there!
Then how about here?
That's even worse!
Yahoo!
Take this!
Hey!
Cut that out!
Pops fills the father role surprisingly well.
That's because... he was a father.
Julie-san lost both his wife and his daughter.
I see...
Everyone can change, huh?
Both people and gravekeepers.
The world truly is complex, isn't it?
It's far, far more complex than I had ever imagined.
W-What is it?
You really are amusing.
I've seen a bunch of places,
but I've never run across someone quite like you.
What exactly is that supposed to mean?
I don't mean it in a bad way.
Hey, that didn't answer my-
Thank you.
Thank you...
...for the birthday party.
You're welcome!
This stinks!
Not only is this a rocky road, but the visibility bites, too!
Isn't this fog incredible?
I'd call it ominous.
Not incredible.
She says to quit griping and keep driving.
Gosh darn it, Julie-san!
Why'd you suddenly brake?
Where do you think we are?
At any rate, let's get back in the van.
It'd be bad if we got split up in this fog.
Julie-san!
The sound...
All of the sound has vanished.
Are you two okay?!
Y-Yes...
Was that... lightning?
No, those were...
...gravekeepers.
Hello.
Take care.
Did we stumble into Story Circle?
It's where gravekeepers are born.
They all had the same face...
That's how it is with gravekeepers.
Groups of identical gravekeepers have been seen in the hundreds,
with large groups reaching into the thousands.
There is the Bezel Family and the Digne Family.
That is how researchers name and classify gravekeepers of the same type.
Uh, but, there are also a bunch of gravekeepers who don't appear to have duplicates.
Hana definitely belonged to that category.
Man, we've wound up somewhere mighty unfortunate.
Do you think that Scar-san wanted to return to the land of her birth?
I suppose she might have...
That's impressive!
I've never seen her throw a fit like that.
Celica, is Scar somewhere nearby?
Hey!
Are you seriously going in after her?
Does that mean Story Circle continues down this entire road?
I'm gonna pull back.
Dee-san!
I'm getting nothing but bad vibes from this place.
How could you!
And here we've come so far together.
Why are you suddenly-
Didn't you know?
I'm whimsical!
Dee-san...
What's with that reaction?
Did that hurt?
Don't let it get to you.
Let's keep going.
This is bad!
I'm having a hell of a time seeing anything.
I think we should be pretty close.
Ai, what'll it be?
Okay.
At any rate, let's inch our way forward.
J-Julie-san?
Alice-san?
Celica-san?!
Julie-san!
F-Father!
Why?
I-
Please wait!
Why?!
Why are you so...
Father!
Father destroyed your precious dream...
So why...
I don't...
I don't know what's what any-
Thank you!
But this is my dream as well as my job.
Remember!
The only phrase that will keep you alive is:
"I want to live."
Scar-san!
We've come for you, Scar-san.
That was not necessary.
I am a gravekeeper and this is where I was born.
Um, Scar-san, if you want to resume your old life as a gravekeeper,
I can't... I don't have the right to stop you...
But-
Julie-san?
Scar!
What about Celica?!
Are you sure you want to leave Celica like this?
Please don't!
Don't bring that child near me!
When I'm with that baby, I...
Scar!
No!
I'm a gravekeeper!
As a gravekeeper, I must help the living lead wonderful lives!
Pops!
Scar, gravekeepers don't cry.
Celica...
Celica!
Scar.
From now on, I will protect you!
owaranai merodii o utaidashimashita.

I started singing a neverending melody.
So shut up and come with me!
Okay!

I liked it very much, yet it was a little lonely.
Smooth, Pops!
I-Is he proposing to her?
Q-Quiet over there!
I'm going to do everything I can to protect you kids, too!

Still,
Count on it!

there was nothing I could do to stop it, and I came to hate it.
Wow!

Who's the man?
Yeah!
