Chapter 4

A Minor Revolution (小さな進化, Chīsana Shinka) is the 4th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
March is found by Hayase and Yanome guards. While searching for March, Parona encounters Fushi, as the Nameless Boy, and asks him if he had seen a little girl. Fushi leads her to the sacrificial site. Meanwhile, March is given food by Hayase saying that all the girls who become sacrifices eat it. She also questions March about the boy she was with earlier stating that the boy does not seem to be from Yanome or Ninannah. March responds that they just passed by coincidence.

While heading back to the village, a Yanome guard alerted Hayase and tells her that they lost a guard and it was a spirit bear's doing. Hayase decides to take a detour and heads directly towards the altar. March soon passes out due to the food she was given and Hayase piggy-backs her to the site. At the site, Hayase and her guards get March ready with make-up and prepares the table for her to lie on.

After finishing the preparations for the ritual, a giant bear with spikes on its body suddenly appears. Parona tries to wake up and untie March from the altar. The giant bear attacks Parona. Just as the Yanome guards are closing the gate, Fushi enters the ritual place. Fushi's head was eaten by the giant bear but Fushi is resisting it. Fushi transformed into a wolf form and attacks the giant bear.

After witnessing the fight, Hayase decides to untie March. She gives a choice to Parona and March whether to die in the place or come to their country and live. Parona decides that they should live indicating that they will go to Yanome. Hayase orders to take March, Fushi and the giant bear to Yanome.

In the aftermath of the battle, March gives him fruit and he responds with his first words, "Thank you".
