Although Emiya had planned to go out to enjoy cherry blossoms with his family, due to Emiya Kiritsugu's work, this time had to be postponed to at least three days.

However, when the time was set, everyone had a smile on their face.

"Next, let's edit the film again quickly."

As early as when the crew was filming "5 Centimeters Per Second", there were accompanying editors who made preliminary edits of the material shot that day.

As time goes by, the framework of the feature film is finally completed.

But everyone has different ways of thinking. Although the editor tried his best to trim the material according to Emiya's requirements, some details were still unsatisfactory.

So that extends to the second version of the edit, which is the director's cut.

This edited version is what the director himself considers to be the best version of the film.

Of course, this is just my own opinion. Many times, the most powerful person in a film crew is not the director, but the producer who sits high in the clouds and looks down on everyone.

They are the masters of the crew and have the power of life and death over the affairs of the crew.

Whether the director's cut is ultimately approved or not is also decided by the producer.

It is precisely to avoid this kind of trouble that Emiya chose to raise funds independently and take on several professions such as producer, director, screenwriter, etc. Although it is tiring, expensive and energy-consuming, no one will control her anymore.

idea.

Emiya expressed that she was very satisfied.

The secondary editing of the film was not an easy task. After three days of busy work, I finally trimmed a small section.

This was after comparing it with the original film in Emiya's mind.

"Sure enough, no job is easy."

On the third day of physical and mental exhaustion, that is, Saturday morning, Emiya finally took a short vacation.

After parking an SUV in the parking lot, a group of seven people carried packages and headed toward the scenic spot with a fat gray and white cat following closely behind them.

There are many good places to enjoy cherry blossoms in Kobe.

Places such as Sumaura Park and Ikuta Shrine are famous nationwide.

Considering the distance of the place and the flow of people, the Emiya family did not choose a place that was particularly famous for cherry blossom viewing, but chose a nearby small park where the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the right time.

Walking along the stone steps in the park, there are scattered cherry blossom petals under your feet.

Pink and white, intertwined and fragrant, like a sea of ​​flowers.

"Miss Illya, slow down!"

Illya, wearing a pink and white dress, jumped on the stone steps like a cherry blossom elf, followed closely by Sera who was afraid of her falling.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Illya turned around, smiled brightly, and then jumped up again.

"Miyu, come and take a look, there's a white cat sleeping under the cherry blossom tree."

"where?"

Following Illya's call, Miyu also ran up, which increased Sera's burden even more.

Fortunately, Illya and Miyu were just squatting next to the stone steps and watching the kittens under the tree, and they seemed relatively calm.

"Wow, it looks much cuter than dough."

"Well, she's a little thinner than dough, and her eyes are pretty."

While the two sisters were discussing, Dough, who had arrived at the front of the team at some point, seemed a little unhappy. He jumped up quickly, jumped over the low fence, and ran towards the white cat.

"Meow!"

With a roar, the white cat ran away, leaving the dough behind with its head tilted up in triumph.

"Let's go, Miyu, let's go up the mountain to enjoy the cherry blossoms."

"Um."

The two sisters walked hand in hand up the mountain.

Dough tilted his head: "Meow?"

"Dough, don't stay there, or we will leave you behind."

In the end, it was Emiya's shouts that made the "frustrated" dough follow. There is a high point above the park, which is a perfect place to overlook the cherry blossoms.

This is where Emiya and his family are going. When they arrived, a small number of people were already sitting under the surrounding cherry blossom trees.

It seems that no one will miss this perfect place to enjoy cherry blossoms.

The arrival of the Emiya family immediately attracted the attention of other families. Maybe it was because of the beautiful scenery in front of them, but everyone seemed to be in a more comfortable mood. When they saw the Emiya family, they all responded with a smile.

Emiya Kiritsugu found an open space on the outside, with a cherry blossom tree just above his head. He spread the plastic sheet on the open space, and the family suddenly had a place to sit and chat.

"The cherry blossoms blooming this year are so beautiful."

The voices of people around me could be heard talking.

Emiya saw Miyu spreading her hands, and just as a breeze blew by, the petals of the cherry blossoms above her head fell, slowly falling on Miyu's hands with the wind.

The breeze passed quickly, but the cherry blossoms in the mountains seemed to have come alive.

"Flowers are cherry trees, and people are warriors."

The cherry blossoms are blooming and falling, which is probably the most romantic and saddest moment.

Looking at the cherry blossom petals flying in the sky, everyone was stunned for a moment.

At some point, a sad tune suddenly sounded.

"Is someone playing the harmonica?"

Emiya listened to the familiar melody and saw a middle-aged man playing the harmonica with his eyes closed under a cherry blossom tree, while his family members listened intently beside him.

Especially his daughter, who was about seven or eight years old, looked at her father with longing.

"It's the melody of "Sakura"."

Irisviel closed her eyes and spoke softly.

"Um."

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was sitting next to her, gently hugged her shoulders.

Sera, Liz, Illya and Miyu who were sitting on either side of Emiya also closed their eyes and listened.

Under the melody, everyone present gradually became quiet.

Immediately afterwards, someone hummed along with the melody, and then, gradually, someone sang.

【I've been waiting for

The day I meet you again

On the road where cherry blossoms are flying

wave to you and call your name

Because no matter how painful it is, you always smile like that

Makes me feel

No matter what setbacks you encounter, you can continue to work hard】

…

Emotions are always transmitted very quickly.

Especially in this case, a familiar song quickly resonated with everyone.

Emiya heard Illya and Miyu starting to sing softly, followed closely by the sisters Sera and Liz. Even Irisviel was no exception. He opened his eyes and looked at Kiritsugu lovingly, and joined him.

sang this song.

Speaking of the song "Sakura", Emiya thought that probably no one here was more familiar with it than him.

After all, this is the first single he has released in this life.

"Now...it finally feels like spring."

Emiya listened to the chorus of voices in his ears, and at some point, a cherry blossom fell from the wine glass in his hand, dotting it, which was particularly touching.

【Sakura, ah, cherry blossoms are in full bloom now

Understand my fleeting fate

Goodbye friends at the moment of separation

Be honest with your unchanging heart]
