Chapter 127

Where He Is, Part 1 (かれのいるばしょ①, Kare no Iru Basho) is the first part of the 127th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Fushi arrives back at the abandoned shrine, holding the items Mizuha requested, only to find her missing. He follows the sensation of her footsteps on the ground and finds her walking back to the shrine. Fushi notices she's wearing new clothes and she explains that she went home. Mizuha also informs Fushi that her mother is alive. Fushi responds with utter disbelief, claiming he hasn't done anything. Mizuha says she knows and is equally confused as to why her mother is alive.

Fushi is speechless. Mizuha then explains that she's going to be staying at her home now and that she only came to the shrine to inform him that she's going back to school tomorrow. Fushi asks her what he should do with her stuff and she tells him to leave it at the shrine. Mizuha tells Fushi that her mother being alive only raises more questions so they should meet up at the shrine after school to discuss more. Fushi agrees and Mizuha heads off.

Fushi returns to the Aoki family home and finds Iddy and Kai in their new modern clothes. Tonari steps into the room and Fushi laughs at her in a frilly dress saying it doesn't suit her at all. Tonari informs him that March picked it out for her and March appears and starts crying. March demands that Fushi apologize and Fushi weakly does so causing her to keep demanding a proper apology from him.

Yuki tells them to quiet down as he and Hairo are watching television. Fushi joins them as a video of himself getting hit by a truck is being discussed by an urban legends television host. The next clip shows a man surviving falling off a bridge and Fushi exclaims that that person isn't him. Aiko comments that it might be CGI and informs everyone it's dinner time.

At the dinner table, Fushi asks Gugu when Bonchien's gonna come back and Gugu says he has no idea. Aiko wonders if Messar will be alright with just the ¥500 (~4 USD) she lent him and Hairo comments that Messar will have plenty if his gambling pays off. Meanwhile, March and Iddy stuff their faces with their hands to the annoyance of Kazumitsu. Kazumitsu asks if they're old enough to use chopsticks and March pulls them out from her hair and plays with them. She remembers that the Yanome used them to eat, which in turn reminds her of Kahaku. March then asks Fushi where Kahaku is which catches him of guard. Fushi thinks for a moment and then tells her that neither Bonchien or anyone told him anything so it must mean that Kahaku isn't by his side. Fushi speculates that Kahaku went "somewhere else" and thinks it's for the best. Kai asks if March is worried about him and she says she is and that she thought they might be friends. She says that she hopes he's doing alright wherever he is and Fushi agrees.

The chapter ends with Mizuha staring out her apartment's balcony.
