The day when Hiroto (Yagira) decides to go to a university in Tokyo to study again, Michito (Ryota Bando) decides to live in an art group home, and Lion, who has become an elementary school student, departs for their own worlds. Lion is carrying a school bag in the "lion's color" that was given to him by Aoi (Machiko Ono). "I'm off now!" he says cheerfully as he leaves the house with Hiroto and Michito.
"Well, bye-bye here. See you later, Lion" (Hiroto) and "Goodbye, Lion" (Michito) were the words, and the time to say goodbye finally came. After saying "See you later, I'm off," Lion exchanged high-fives with Hiroto and Michito, and walked off alone to school.
On social media, comments such as "The lion is too cute with his lion-patterned school bag," "The view of the lion's back with the school bag on its back. It was so cool that I cried," "The lion is already a grown-up! The view of his back as he walked strongly by himself, one step at a time, was so cool!" and "Just seeing the lion with the school bag on its back makes me cry, but seeing him walking by himself made me cry even more. The lion is so cute, it was so relaxing."
