Yumi, is something wrong?

Oh, no, it's nothing.

This way, Lady Sachiko. Oh, no, it's nothing.

This way, Lady Sachiko.

Lady... Sachiko?!

Cinderella Yamayuri Lillian Council Girls' Version Academy

Cinderella Yamayuri Lillian Council Girls' Version Academy Yumi, this is for you.

Cinderella Yamayuri Lillian Council Girls' Version Academy

"Lillian Girls' Academy, Yamayuri Version Cinderella" ...

I've marked it with a highlighter.

The pink is Cinderella. The blue is Step-Sister B.

Step-Sister B?

One of Cinderella's mean step-sisters.

If you do not play Cinderella, we want you to play that role.

All right.

But why are you having lunch out here?

Yumi is avoiding the school paper's attempts to interview her.

I see.

Our school paper's methods for covering stories are aggressive.

Yumi, accept my rosary.

If you do, I shall take your place and be interviewed instead.

What?

Feel free to let me know whenever you decide to accept.

Oh, Lady Sachiko!

I was hoping to receive her permission to display the photograph...

...at the school festival...

It cannot be helped.

Lady Sachiko dislikes both cherry blossom and gingko trees.

I had no idea.

So I'm surprised.

What?

That she came all the way here to find you.

Cinderella Yamayuri Lillian Council Girls' Version Academy

Sachiko Ogasawara

Lady Sachiko...

The maidens, who flock to Mother Maria's garden,

pass through the tall gates today yet again with innocent, angelic smiles.

Their pure hearts and bodies are clad in deep-colored uniforms.

So that the pleats of their skirts are not disturbed...

...and so that their white sailor collars are not set aflutter,

it is customary here to walk slowly and with decorum.

The Private Lillian Girls' Academy, a garden of maidens.

Maria Watches Over Us

The Moon and the Rosary

Um...

Hmm?

May I ask you a question?

Nothing too difficult, now.

Why did you choose Shimako to be your soeur?

What?

It's not a difficult question, but it's unusual.

People normally don't ask why I chose Shimako.

That is... probably because she seems like such an obvious choice.

The complete opposite of me.

You're awfully pessimistic.

I mean, I am " the straw."

What's that?

That was what you said, Rosa Gigantea!

To Lady Sachiko,

I am " the straw" that she grabbed upon a chance encounter.

That's right, I did!

But that's a good metaphor, if I do say so myself.

"The straw." That's great!

How is that great?!

The part where Sachiko keeps holding on.

Don't you think talent the likes of Shimako's ...

...should be utilized for the good of the Yamayuri Council?

That's not your answer to my earlier question, is it?

If I were to answer as Rosa Gigantea, it is.

I do have a separate, personal reason,

but that's a secret.

But to my thinking,

Shimako might be the one who envies you.

Please! How did the conversation make the leap to that?!

That's because...

I wanted to see your cute funny faces.

Wai...

Rosa Gigantea!

"The millionaire" is here, so... the end.

"The millionaire" ?

You seem to be really enjoying yourselves.

Oh, please, I did you a special favor because I saw you coming in.

Oh!

Uh, um, I should wash the cups.

Since everyone should be coming soon.

Yumi, you're such a good girl.

I made Sachiko jealous for you.

Now, I guess I'll go check on things downstairs.

"I shall wear the red velvet dress."

"l-I'm fine with wearing my usual skirt."

"But to make up for it, I'll wear the cape with the gold flower pattern..."

"...and the diamond broach."

"Dear sister, what do you think of doing your hair like this?"

"Cinderella, don't you wish you could go to the ball, too?"

So you do have it all memorized!

Even when Rosa Gigantea patted me on the head and hugged me,

I never felt this self-conscious.

Pardon us. We were off getting the costumes.

Oh? Were we actually interrupting something?

W-We were just rehearsing for the play.

Aren't we getting fitted for our costumes?

Yes.

We have the costume fittings and a dress rehearsal today,

so the Student Body President of Hanadera will be coming as well.

We made sure to tell you, remember?

I expect you to participate too, Sachiko.

We should go receive him soon.

Yumi, would you go?

Mr. Kashiwagi... Oh, that's the Hanadera Student Body President.

He should be at the main gate.

All right.

No, no running.

I might step on the gingko nuts.

Um, pardon me, but are you Mr. Kashiwagi?

Are you a member of the Yamayuri Council?

I'm Suguru Kashiwagi.

I look forward to working with you today.

So you've already been accepted by the Hanadera University?

I know they are affiliated, but even so,

only those with excellent grades are admitted without testing, right?

That is impressive.

Um, would you mind waiting here for a moment?

I shall return after changing into my indoor shoes.

He's a completely flawless Prince, but I guess Cinderella hates him.

Huh? Lady Sachiko?

Was it my imagination?

After all, Lady Sachiko should be at the Rose Mansion.

Thank you very much for inviting me.

This mansion is splendid.

Lady Sachiko isn't here...

What do you think?

Huh?

About the Hanadera Student Body President. Objectively speaking.

What do I think?

Objectively speaking, I would think he seems fairly exceptional.

A worthy partner for Sachiko, would you say?

What?

There's a secret objective in doing this play.

To get Sachiko to overcome her dislike of men.

Sachiko's family is complicated, you see.

Both her grandfather and father keep mistresses.

I suppose she has good reason to dislike men.

That reminds me, where is Cinderella?

She left, saying she would be waiting for us at the gymnasium.

Yumi?

Uh, um, I will go on ahead as well.

So that was Lady Sachiko that I saw earlier?

Don't tell me she went home?

Lady Sachiko.

So, you didn't go home.

Why?

Earlier, on the path to the side of the library...

I wouldn't do that.

I see.

You'll soil your skirt.

Then, what about yourself?

It's something I realized only now.

I was there.

What?

The truth is, I was there, at that place.

Maria Watches Over Us

I had thought to get a glimpse of him first.

Was that all?

I just wanted to see him before he saw me.

That was all.

Listen to me.

Certainly, I am unwilling to dance with Hanadera's Student Body President,

but I lose if I run away.

And more than anything, I hate to lose!

I shall be your dance partner until everyone arrives.

What? No, that's fine.

Oh, yes! What? No, that's fine.

Oh, yes!

You seem to have memorized the steps,

but you have yet to be able to dance smoothly.

Don't be nervous.

That's easy for you to say, but...

You don't have to think.

Have faith that your body remembers and let go.

Don't rush it. Smile.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Right. You're starting to move wonderfully.

I had no idea dancing was so fun.

You're right! I had no idea, either!

I am pleased to meet you.

My name is Ogasawara.

I look forward to working with you.

I look forward to it as well.

Doesn't Mr. Kashiwagi look fantastic dressed up as the Prince?

Now, you two go change as well.

Let us go, Yumi.

A-All right.

Are you ready?

Don't you think the front is a little too low-cut?

You have to give people at least a little service.

Just what kind of service are you talking about?

The sight of you at your most beautiful to the Sachiko fans.

Right, Yumi?

It's good the way it is, don't you think?

Y-Yes.

Really?

Of course!

You might have to wear this, you know.

You're right, that's a good point.

It might be a little big for you, Yumi.

Maybe we should take it in a bit...

Wait.

We have yet to determine who will be playing Cinderella, after all.

Here, trade with me.

Oh, Yumi looks adorable, too!

D-Do you think so?

As expected, I think the front is too low-cut for me.

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

One, two, three. Two, two, three.

All right, we'll take a fifteen minute break.

Sachiko, I understand that you find this unpleasant,

but why don't you smile a little more?

The audience will recoil if you perform like that.

I'll smile properly during the real thing.

Um, if there is anything I can do to help...

Then, accept the rosary.

What?

If there were to be anything I wanted to ask of you, that would be all.

Do you find it that unpleasant?

I do.

Sacchan, I want to talk to you for a moment.

Yumi, go on back without me.

But...

Just go!

All right.

Where's Sachiko?

Um, she had something to discuss with Mr. Kashiwagi.

Without our two leads, we won't be able to rehearse.

Well, let's wait a while.

They haven't come back.

Could they be planning to just abandon the rehearsal?

Sachiko is not the sort of girl to do that.

You're right.

I'll go look.

Um, I'II... I'll go.

Let's split up and look.

Understood?

Rosa Gigantea, this is no time to be...

Do you like Sachiko?

Thank you.

I like Sachiko, too.

So does Rosa Chinensis, Rosa Foetida, and Rei,

and probably Shimako and Yoshino, too.

We may seem strong,

but we're still just high-school students, so we're cowards.

We're afraid to find out what's happened.

We feel that maybe we shouldn't unmask whatever it is.

I have to go look for Lady Sachiko, too.

These gingko nuts are infuriating!

Stop! Let go! These gingko nuts are infuriating!

Stop! Let go!

Lady Sachiko!

And I was so sure he would never make a pass at Sachiko!

What?

Birds of a feather can tell.

What are you doing?!

Take your hand off Sachiko!

Sachiko, are you all right?

Yumi, go call the security guard.

I can't go.

What?

Because it will leave Lady Sachiko in a bind.

Why do you think that?

Because that's what is written on your face.

I see...

I'm sorry to trouble you.

We merely got into a little argument.

I would certainly like for you to explain it to them.

He is...

Suguru Kashiwagi is my cousin.

Not only that, but he is also my betrothed.

B-Betro...?!

Therefore...

Even if we are not putting on a performance,

we'll put our arms around each other...

...and even kiss...

Would you please refrain from getting carried away?!

Sacchan!

Who's there?

It's Yumi.

It's no use, I don't know what to do.

There's nothing I can do for her.

I should get everyone and...

Um, I...

Stay.

Stay here.

Lady Sachiko...

Lady Sachiko, please give me the rosary.

No!

Why not?

I just won't .

I've changed my mind.

You see, Suguru does not have any feelings for me.

But I am an only daughter...

...and he is capable enough to lead the Ogasawara Group.

Our parents want us to get married as well.

So he says that he will marry me.

But, I...

You loved Mr. Kashiwagi, didn't you?

To have someone you love say he will marry you without love...

That would be so painful.

Thank you for listening to me.

It's the same as confession.

It was painful because I couldn't tell anyone.

So I'm fine now.

But Lady Sachiko, please give me the rosary!

Please let me fight.

I don't want to run anymore.

Did you notice?

What?

Over half the plants in this greenhouse are roses.

This is Rosa chinensis.

It's ever-flowering, you know.

Remember this flower.

Shall we return?

Yes.

"The guest has left."

"Be sure to thoroughly wipe the soles of your indoor shoes before entering."

"Bringing in the odor of gingko nuts is prohibited."

It's over now...

I suppose I won't have occasion to go to the Rose Mansion anymore.

Nor to converse with Lady Sachiko.

I've been looking for you.

Congratulations on a successful performance.

Your Cinderella was splendid, Lady Sachiko.

Did you notice?

What?

I stomped on Suguru's foot three times during the dance.

It's thanks to you that I can laugh about it now.

I didn't do anything...

Would you keep me company for a bit?

Could I put this...

...around your neck, Yumi?

No bets or sympathy or anything like that.

This is a sacred ceremony, after all.

I... accept.

Thank you.

"Mother Maria's Heart" ...

Mother Maria's heart, that is the Yamayuri lily.

Mother Maria's heart, that is the Yamayuri lily. I've always wondered this, but...

Mother Maria's heart, that is the Yamayuri lily.

Mother Maria's heart, that is the Yamayuri lily. I wonder why it's the sapphire.

I wonder why it's the sapphire.

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire. I wonder why it's the sapphire.

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire.

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire. What?

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire.

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire. Lady Sachiko...

The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire.

The truth is, I have always wondered that, too.

Mother Maria's heart, that is the sapphire. The truth is, I have always wondered that, too.

Mother Maria's heart, that is the sapphire.

The shining sapphire that adorns us.

The shining sapphire that adorns us. The night I became the petite soeur of Rosa Chinensis en bouton,

The shining sapphire that adorns us. our only witnesses were the moon and Mother Maria.

The shining sapphire that adorns us.
