Chapter 137

A Say (1) (せんたくけん①, Sentaku-ken) is the first part of the 137th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
The Nokker's kick sends Hirotoshi flying back into the school. The imposter taunts him by questioning out loud how she should tell their parents what happened to him (after she kills him) and figures she should tell them he ran away. However, it's revealed Hirotoshi actually landed on a pile of futons instead of hitting the school's walls. Fushi teleports next to him and tells him to just give up as he can't win. Hirotoshi pulls himself up and replies that he'll never give up as he'll trust in Mimori. He yells out to Mimori's spirit to watch him as he fights for her.

Hirotoshi runs back to the imposter and the two fight, with the imposter winning.

Hirotoshi lays on the floor beaten up and Mimori's spirit approaches him and the Nokker. She shakingly steps between the two but the Nokker keeps attacking Hirotoshi, ignoring her. Mimori turns and makes eye contact with Bonchien, as if pleading to him.

Hirotoshi manages to get up again but the Nokker quickly knocks back down. The imposter mocks him as she repeatedly kicks him. However, Hirotoshi yells out to Mimori's spirit about all the places he'll take her to to make new and fun memories. The imposter continues to slap and knock him around and Mimori mumbles to Bonchien, pleading for him to stop them. Bonchien tells her that if she has something to say she has to say it clearly.

Fushi steps up and says they can't let this continue or Hirotoshi will die. He yells to Hirotoshi asking if this is what Mimori wants. Hirotoshi responds back, directed at Mimori's spirit, that right now he's more alive than ever. The Nokker is about to strike one final punch at Hirotoshi's face when Mimori cries out that she wants to live. With that, Bonchien throws a sword right through the imposter's neck. He repeats to everyone that Mimori wants to live and that the Nokker has no right to claim her body now.
