＜Introduction
Once upon a time, the Evil King's True Eye and the Dark Flame Master encountered each other and spun a dark myth.
And all was supposed to have come to an end with the blessings of the gods.
However, there was a continuation to the dark myth.
It was a crisis that tore them apart.
It is an exodus of youthful flight
The pursuit of Xanadu, the land of rest.
Watch carefully.
The final chapter of the hidden dark myth (Catastrophe) will be told.

<Synopsis> " Eighteen years old .
Eighteen years old. The last year of high school. But Rokka is still a chuuni-sick ......."
It's spring break near the end of his senior year of high school, and the university entrance exam is in sight. Yuta Togashi is still living with Rokka Kotoyu as usual.
However, it seems that they haven't even signed a high-level contract yet. ......
One day, his older sister Juka declares that she is taking Rokka to Italy. She says that now that her job has stabilized, the family will move to Italy.
Yuta is impatient, but Juka is right in her opinion that she cannot leave Rokka, who is on the verge of entering university, as it is.
If nothing is done, the two will be torn apart. Concerned, Niutani and the other usual members suggested that Yuta "elope" with Rokka.
Thus begins their escape drama that takes place all over Japan.
