Why do you cry?

Please stop.

It makes it seem as though...

...I am arbitrarily bullying an underclassman.

I am the one who wants to cry.

Being avoided by my little sister,

never even being told why.

Why will you not talk to me?

Is thatjust how little I mean to you?

If that is how it is, there is no purpose in being soeurs.

Why did you even accept my rosary?

Enough already.

Let us discuss this more calmly on another day.

It seems I am slightly overwrought myself,

so I may have gone too far with what I said.

Oh!

What happened to Yumi?

It's nothing.

Let us begin our meeting concerning tomorrow's game.

It's nothing...?

But...

Do you two intend to arbitrarily make me the villain as well?

Sachiko...

It really is nothing.

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.

Surprising Chocolate - Part II

Rosa chinensis...

So you're ever-flowering?

I wonder if my dear sister hates me now.

Rosa Gigantea...

I considered that you might want to be left alone, but...

Still, that was like a reenactment of a scene from the past.

What?

You and Sachiko are surprisingly similar in some ways.

The way you and Sachiko were earlier...

That was exactly how it went one year and ten months ago...

...between Sachiko and Yoko, the current Rosa Chinensis.

Partly due to the environment she was raised in,

Sachiko wasn't good at clearly expressing her own thoughts,

so she would often be silently indignant about something or other.

Lady Sachiko would?

But one day,

Yoko sternly told her that behaving that way told her nothing.

That if she had something to say that she should say it clearly.

Why have you grown silent?

Why won't you confront me with the words in your heart?

I can't know anything if you're like this!

It seems Sachiko responded to Yoko's stern words.

Since then, she gradually grew to be able to express her thoughts.

Well, that's probably why Sachiko gets so irritated with you.

Irritated? Lady Sachiko?

Right.

Why?

Because it's like she's seeing herself, of course.

Deep inside, Sachiko hasn't really changed.

Probably not even now.

That's why she feels irritated.

Because she sees in you a part of herself that she dislikes.

So I hope you'll forgive Sachiko.

There's hardly anything to forgive...

Then, you won't grow to hate Sachiko over something like this?

Good girl.

Then, let's go.

This greenhouse isn't exactly a favorite place of mine.

What will I do?

Soon, you will be graduating.

What will I do then?

There's no one else who will help me like this.

I'm flattered you'd say that.

It'll work out somehow.

If you can express your true feelings to Sachiko a little more...

As long as you become able to do that,

I'm sure you'll be able to overcome whatever else may happen.

But...

All right, I'll assign you some homework.

Reconcile with Sachiko on your own. Got it?

Yes.

What?! You're not going to give me any chocolates?!

Why don't you just tell Shimako that you want chocolates?

No way.

Then, you have no choice but to give up on it.

No way, no way.

If you don't give me chocolates, I'll eat you, Yumi!

These will be for Lady Sachiko.

The ones I messed up...

...will be punishment for the flirtatious Rosa Gigantea.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

Treasure Hunt Competition Headquarters for Yamayuri Council Officers Rosebuds

First, I have to apologize for yesterday.

And then, I'll ask Lady Sachiko for a moment of her time...

You scared me! So it was you, Yumi.

Shimako, is Lady Sachiko here?

Y-Yes, upstairs.

B-Bye now.

I wonder what that was about.

Oh, maybe this is where she hid her card.

Give it up already, Yoshino.

You don't have to tell me where you hid the card,

so just listen to my guesses!

Oh, you came at the perfect time.

I'm sorry, but would you take this annoying girl somewhere else for me?

Oh, okay...

You're a cheapskate, dear sister!

Nevermind!

Yumi, let's go.

Yoshino, wait a minute.

Dear sister?

What is it?

Um, pardon me about yesterday.

And if you are available, I would like a little of your time today.

To continue what we started yesterday?

All right.

Would it be fine if we meet after the treasure hunt is over?

Then, I shall be waiting for you in the greenhouse.

The greenhouse...

All right, then. In the greenhouse.

I appreciate that so many of you have come to participate.

I will now explain how the game is to be played.

These are the cards you will be searching for.

There will be one each of these red, yellow, and white cards...

...hidden somewhere on the school grounds.

The time limit is one hour.

If you find a card,

please bring it to the Rose Mansion where we are headquartered.

You will be presented on the spot with the additional prize,

a ticket for a date for half a day with a bouton.

T-They're so popular...

Y-Yes...

Now, I would like the soeurs of the boutons to step forward.

In order to ensure fairness,

the soeurs of the boutons will start with a 5 minute delay.

What?! No way!

And now... Start!

Maria Watches Over Us

The boutons can wait here until the game is over.

I didn't expect that even you would participate, Rosa Foetida.

I would never let such a fun event pass me by.

Dear sister, I will find the red card, without fail.

Then, I guess I'll go drum up some interest.

Hey! If you'd like, why don't you come in for a chat?

The boutons are in here.

Rosa Gigantea...

Are you not interested in finding Shimako's card?

Shimako's card. You say it so simply, but...

Besides, I haven't the faintest idea where she might have hid it.

Aw, Shimako's card is probably in there...

Could it be that there's something nice hidden in that room?

Shoot!

All right, 5 minutes have passed.

Ladies, you can start as well.

Thanks. I wish you good luck!

Oh...

Yumi, let's go.

R-Right.

Lucky Shimako.

A date with the Rosa Gigantea, huh?

Lady Sachiko is not in any clubs nor on any committees.

In which case...

Would it have to be the Rose Mansion?

W-What is this?

What?! Could they be fans of Lady Sachiko's ?!

They must think that I'll know where the card is.

Oh, I don't have time to be playing cat and mouse like this.

Oh, there's only 15 minutes left!

I wonder where Lady Sachiko's red card is...

If I were to hide it...

If it were me...

If it were me, I would definitely hide it there!

Oh!

Good day. I'm sorry. It seems I startled you.

Oh, no...

Have you come here looking for the card, too?

Yes...

This person was here before me...

But it seems she hasn't found the card yet.

Just as I thought...

Um...

Oh, I think the card is probably here, so...

If you'd like, here...

Thank you.

But it wasn't there.

What?

I'm sorry for not saying so before.

The truth is, I tried digging in that spotjust earlier.

It can't be...

Why did you think the card would be there?

Why?

Because this rose is the Rosa chinensis...

It is now 4:40.

Those of you participating in the game,

please gather in the inner courtyard right away.

And now, I will announce the results of the game.

Two of the boutons' cards were found.

Oh! I failed!

All because Rei wouldn't give me any hints...

I wasn't able to find it, either.

And I was so sure my dear sister's card would be there.

Now, first, the person who found the white card.

Year 2, Wisteria Class, Miss Shizuka Kanina.

What?

Oh-ho, so Shizuka found it, huh?

After I gave her the hint with my funny faces! What was she doing?!

Where did you find the white card?

The student committee board.

What?

It wasn't the first floor of the Rose Mansion?

Then, why did Shimako behave like that when I saw her...?

Next, the person who found the yellow card...

...was Year 1 , Chrysanthemum Class, Miss Chisato Tanuma.

I found it in the library.

But I searched the library, too!

And so,

no one was able to find Rosa Chinensis en bouton's red card.

No one?

Rosa Chinensis en bouton, just where did you hide the red card?

Let's go retrieve it now.

Uh, um, dear sister...

I came here, to this place.

But I was unable to find it.

Where did you look?

Near the base of the Rosa chinensis.

Surely not...

Did you really look here?

Yes.

It can't be!

I dug in the same spot!

Yumi, I'm very sorry, but...

I am not lying!

I even have a witness.

Who?

l-It was...

...someone I do not know.

Then she won't be able to serve as a witness.

But I really...

I believe you.

You speak with such certainty.

Then, it really must not have been there earlier.

Dear sister...

Besides, this card was buried deeper than where I had buried it.

What?

Which means...

St. Valentinus has been up to some mischief.

Perhaps we should just leave it at that?

If that is your wish, Rosa Chinensis en bouton.

Dear sister?

Um, would you please wait for me at the Rose Mansion?

Shimako, what's wrong?

Wow, Yumi!

I've been waiting for you to thank you for the chocolate.

Yes, yes.

Here are your chocolates.

Even though they're really bad tasting truffles.

What?

Which means, the chocolate in there wasn't yours?

What?

What'll I do? I ate it.

Because you were looking so intently at that door,

I totally thought...

It was a really delicious marble cake.

Though, the inexperience showed and it was a bit lopsided.

Um...

Was it pink...?

Yes, pink wrapping paper with white rose patterns.

In the back of the room on the first floor...

...was not the white card,

but Shimako's chocolate cake that she had left there,

still undecided about whether to give it to Rosa Gigantea or not.

Perhaps this was another act of mischief by St. Valentinus.

Pardon me for making you wait.

Dear sister, there is something I would like for you to have.

I hope you don't mean the rosary.

The rosary?!

Apparently not. I'm glad.

When I was a first-year student,

I felt as though my dear sister could read my every thought.

And yet, I do not really understand what you are thinking.

That must be why I had been feeling discouraged.

And it seemed as though you were avoiding me,

so I was a little panicked.

But that was my misunderstanding, wasn't it?

Um, it was because I wanted to give these to you.

I sought Lady Rei's advice and made these.

I wanted to keep it a secret from you,

which is why I ended up sneaking around.

I had gotten worked up and carried away all by myself,

and I had no time left to consider how it might come across to you.

Yumi...

I know that you hate Valentine's Day chocolates.

But I desperately wanted to express my daily gratitude to you in a tangible form, so I...

Yumi!

Did I ever say that I hated them?

The target of my disgust was a segment of the student population,

who attempt to satisfy their need...

...to give someone chocolates on Valentine's Day.

If it's something you made for me,

I would accept it most gratefully, of course.

May I have it?

Oh...

N-No!

As I said, it is not that I dislike chocolates...

You can't have this! As I said, it is not that I dislike chocolates...

You can't have this!

Uh, um, please take this one!

L-Lady Sachiko, please let go!

Yumi, that is enough...

Lady Sachiko!

Is this... some sort of performance?

Y-Yes.

l-It's called surprising chocolate.

There are horrible tasting ones mixed in...

...that will make you grimace,

and that is the surprise...

Here is another one.

Oh!

It's delicious.

Thank goodness.

Then, that was a good one.

Though both a good and a bad one were missing in the end,

the one Lady Sachiko ate was a good one.

Maybe this was also St. Valentinus...

Does something nice happen if you happen to pick a good one?

Yes, every good one you draw...

...comes with a ticket to go on a date for half a day with me.

Preview

To be secretly admired by someone you don't know is so romantic.

I prefer someone who is clear and upfront about it.

I think you will be irritated by next week's episode.

But I still end up watching it, even as I complain.
