It has been two years since Cas had last been to the special zone. Mimiko, Jiro, and Kotaro had settled down in their new home. Jiro finally decide to help with the Office Coffin Company. Mimiko still continued to work as a compromiser. As for Kotaro he still is lively as ever. But when word from the Princess gets to Jiro he begins to take leave with Kotaro.
"What do you mean your leaving," Mimiko yells in protest. "The Princess is in need of my assistance so I most go," Jiro replies formally. Kotaro looked back and forth at the two and smiles, "Can't we just bring Mimiko with us brother." Jiro looks down at Kotaro and smiles, "It's not safe for her out of the special zone." Kotaro sighs and pouts. "But, if you would like to Mimiko you may come with us," Jiro says smiling at her. Mimiko smiles, "Of course."
The three head off to the Princesses land as they travel Kotaro rambles on about the princess to Mimiko. Jiro stares out at the water wondering what the princess could want. The sun begins to rise and Jiro goes to sleep in his coffin. Kotaro and Mimiko watch the radiant sun rise. Kotaro looks of at Mimiko and begins to says something but stops. Mimiko smiles and the sun as it hits her pale skin. "Mimiko do you think we could stay together…..I mean like a family," Kotaro ask looking up at Mimiko. Mimiko's eyes widen as those words pierce her heart. "Yes I do…as for Jiro I'm not sure if he would want to be stuck with me," Mimiko giggles. Kotaro giggles as well and looks out at the sun, "Brother cares for Mimiko so I am sure he would want to stay with her." Mimiko smiles and pats Kotaro's head.
"Princess!" Kotaro yells running up to the manor. Jiro shakes his head and Mimiko looks around amazed. The princess steps out the doors and Crow behind her. Her smile fills Kotaro's heart as he runs up to hug her. "Glad you made it," Crow announces and smiles. Jiro smirks, "Nice to see you as well Crow." Crow smiles and looks over at Mimiko, "May I ask your name young maiden." Mimiko's heart skips a beat and she chokes up. "Her name is Mimiko Katsuragi She is a compromiser," Jiro says sternly as he walks up behind her. They all walk inside from the cold. Kotaro goes on telling the princess about all his experiences. But, the princess doesn't say a word as usual but smiles. Mimiko walks around the manor amazed. "It's quite amazing is it not," Crow inputs as he walks up behind her. "Yes, it is," Mimiko replies with a smile. "I would love to chat but I have to prepare dinner," Crow announces and walks away.
At dinner everyone stays quite but Kotaro. He rambles on and on until Jiro interrupts him, "Princess if I may ask why did you call on me so suddenly." The princess stops chewing her food and swallows. A huge pause happens as they pass looks. Mimiko gulps in silence and confusion. The Princess stands up and beckons Jiro to follow her.
Mimiko follows and watches the Princess hand Jiro a letter. Jiro looks at it and his eyes widen in shock, "This…is…Alice's Emblem." The Princess knods and walks away. Jiro opens the letter and begins reading it. Mimiko watches it and notices his eyes begin to fill up in tears. Mimiko steps a little closer and goes to say something but Jiro looks up. Tears flow down his face and he clinches his heart in pain. His lips begin to open and the word comes out, "Shizuko…."
