In closing,

I pray for your health and success, dear sisters,

and thus, I bid you farewell.

Representing the remaining student body, I am Sachiko Ogasawara.

What's the matter, Yumi?

Was there something wrong with it?

No...

Thinking about how the graduation ceremony is really today...

...has made me nervous somehow.

So the Lady Roses will really be gone.

Yes...

It's kind of hard to believe, though...

Come, let's all get to our classrooms soon, too.

Everyone, thank you for being here for my farewell speech rehearsal.

Today, the Lady Roses will be graduating from Lillian.

I wonder what thoughts are going through their minds.

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.

The Years That Flew By

Year 3, Camellia Class

We congratulate you on this day.

We will now come around to pin these flowers on you.

ToOurUpperclassmen ofYear3, Camellia Class Congratulationson Graduating

ToOurUpperclassmen ofYear3, Camellia Class Congratulationson Graduating We will wholeheartedly devote ourselves to this endeavor,

ToOurUpperclassmen ofYear3, Camellia Class Congratulationson Graduating but considering that this is a task we are unused to,

we ask for your forgiveness for any mistake we may make.

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

But why is it that none of this feels real?

Rosa Chinensis.

Congratulations.

What's wrong?

P-Pardon me.

She has long been a fan of yours, Rosa Chinensis.

I see. Thank you.

Oh, yes. We have a student absent due to the flu today.

If it would be all right, I'll take her flower to her.

P-Please do, Rosa Chinensis.

Thank you very much, Rosa Chinensis.

Good grief.

I'm being a total busybody right up to the end, aren't I?

Even though today is the graduation ceremony.

But this graduation ceremony thing...

It's a ceremony conducted for the purpose of presenting diplomas.

Is there a need for something this elaborate just to do that?

This is bad.

Up until yesterday, I was steeped in sentimentality in my own way, but...

For goodness sake, today is the graduation ceremony...

But maybe graduation ceremonies are held for the family members.

And he said he'd come, too...

I wonder what Yamanobe is doing?

Here.

And what's Yoko being so considerate for, right up to the end? Here.

And what's Yoko being so considerate for, right up to the end?

And what's Yoko being so considerate for, right up to the end? Thank you.

And what's Yoko being so considerate for, right up to the end?

And over there, she has no sense of tension.

I guess I'm the same.

For goodness sake, today is the graduation ceremony...

Are you an American?

I got it! You're half-American!

Lillian Kindergarten

Lillian Kindergarten I'm not...

Lillian Kindergarten

Lillian Kindergarten Say, is your dad an American? Or is it...

Lillian Kindergarten

You're running away?

Go away, you big forehead!

Now, Eriko, stop this.

Stop this. Now, Eriko, stop this.

Stop this.

Sei Sato.

Yes, Sir.

Miss Sato.

Have you decided what club you are going to join?

If you are interested, let us go observe some clubs together.

Since we are in the same group anyway.

Outside middle school applicant, huh?

What?

I haven't been called " Miss Sato" by a classmate in ages.

It was refreshing, that's all...

...Yoko.

Thank you for letting me know, Sei.

You are welcome.

It isn't written in the student handbook, you know.

That students at Lillian don't address each other by last name,

but by their first names.

So you approached me because you don't fit in around here, either?

It was because I found myself interested somehow...

...in you.

I see.

So, you're a meddlesome busybody.

Since then, who knows how many arguments we had...

...because of the unwanted remarks I offered.

But even that is over as of today.

Diploma Sei Sato

Yoko Mizuno.

Yes, Sir.

The first time I saw Yoko was during the middle school entrance ceremony.

Representing the incoming class, Year 1 , Plum Class, Yoko Mizuno.

Yes, Sir.

She's an outside applicant,

and yet, she's giving the speech as the incoming class representative.

She must be a really excellent student.

I didn't want to compete with a model student like that,

so I didn't really want to get to know her, but...

Eriko, your ribbon is tied so beautifully.

You think so?

Do you have a trick to it?

If you don't mind, would you teach me how you tie it?

All right.

There's no trick to it,

but if you tug on both sides at the end,

it can feel invigorating.

I'll practice that.

Though I may never get as good as you.

A model student, who doesn't hide how she works hard, huh?

Unlike me, since I only devoted myself to the things that interested me.

It was then that I started thinking Yoko was interesting.

But neither Yoko nor I will ever tie these scarves again.

Graduation Ceremony

Graduation Ceremony Farewell speech.

Graduation Ceremony Representing the remaining student body,

Graduation Ceremony Year 2, Pine Class, Sachiko Ogasawara.

To our dear sisters,

taking wing from the high school division of Lillian Girls' Academy.

Congratulations on graduating...

Sachiko...

I want to go to you right this minute.

But if I go now,

people will come to think you can't do anything without your big sister.

You are the next Rosa Chinensis.

Please, pull yourself together somehow.

It's too much! I can't watch anymore!

As representative of the remaining student body,

I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you very much for all the guidance you have offered to us.

You have carefully guarded the tradition of Lillian Girls' Academy...

...and from now on,

it is my intention that we will carry on that tradition, without fail.

In closing,

I pray for your health and success, dear sisters,

and thus, I bid you farewell.

Representing the remaining student body, I am Sachiko Ogasawara.

And...

Rei Hasekura.

Is the farewell speech normally supposed to garner such applause?

The valedictory speech.

Representing the graduating students,

Year 3, Camellia Class, Yoko Mizuno.

Good grief, this is going to be tough.

After that performance just now,

I can't break down in tears and become unable to finish the speech,

even if it kills me.

I'll just have to be every bit the model student...

...and get this graduation ceremony back onto an orderly track.

But if...

...I find myself in a situation like Sachiko's ,

would those two do what Rei did for her?

Never mind leaping to my aid,

they would throw their heads back and laugh.

I feel bad about this...

Did you just get here?

No, well...

The graduation ceremony is over already.

Yes, and I feel bad about that.

So you were mistaken for a suspicious person.

Well, uh...

But it's true that I'm not family or anything,

so I have no right to be at the graduation ceremony...

That's ridiculous.

I am graduating and I wanted you to come,

so that gives you plenty of right.

I see, you're exactly right.

You should go soon.

Yes.

Thank you for coming.

It was nothing.

Eriko.

Congratulations on graduating.

The beginning was boring,

but it got interesting towards the end.

Really, you were so cool, Rei.

Pardon me, thank you for waiting.

Now, where shall we take the photos?

Dear sister, may I have a moment?

Dear sister, here.

You will feel better if you blow your nose.

You know...

Whether it is dry eye or hay fever or whatever, you will feel better.

I was in a similar situation as you the day before yesterday...

...and I received a tissue from Shimako and...

This will really make me feel better?

Come to think of it, where's Shimako?

Lady Shizuka?

The Yamayuri Council is going to be taking pictures now.

If you are willing, please join us.

Because I, too, will be leaving Lillian in March?

Thank you, but I will decline this invitation.

But...

Shimako.

Oh, you're here too, Shizuka?

Congratulations on graduating.

I will not say farewell,

for I believe we will meet again someday.

I agree. Let's meet again.

Good day.

Say...

Huh?

We once had a huge fight, remember?

Oh...

What was the fight about again?

What? You're kidding. You've forgotten?

I have this vague feeling that I said something that offended you...

...or you said something like that to me, but...

You called me an American, so I called you big forehead.

Oh my.

I guess these are things that tend to get forgotten.

We look up to the invaluable boon our mentors have bestowed upon us...

It has already been many years in this garden of learning...

Looking back, how quickly these months and years have passed.

Now, it is time to part, to say farewell.

The friendship we shared, so much to be thankful for every day...

Even after we have parted, do not thee forget.

Find success, make thy mark, devote thee to thine endeavors.

Now, it is time to part, to say farewell.

I will send you the photos.

Thank you. I look forward to seeing them.

Um...

I will also send you the Lillian Ledger's commemorative graduation issue.

That'll be something to look forward to in a different sense.

Lady Roses, um...

I am very sorry to have troubled you in various ways.

But I was really happy to have had the privilege of attending high school...

...during the same time as you...

Oh? What?

I can't believe myself. I can't ... I'm sorry!

I apologize that things have been like this to the very end.

I am sure it may be worrisome that our chief editor is like that,

but we at the school paper will work as one...

...to put out a great issue to send to you,

so please forgive her for today.

There doesn't seem to be anything we need to be worried about.

I agree.

Shall we get going soon?

See you.

See you.

See you.

There may have still been a lot of things that were left unsaid.

But right now, we have just one wish.

May you be happy. May you all, every last one of you, be happy.

To have been at this school...

...and had the privilege of meeting you all...

For that, I am glad.

Dear sister, in helping my mother yesterday, I made pot stickers.

I see.

Dear sister, in helping my mother today, I filleted a fish.

I knew it.

Dear sister, in helping my mother tomorrow,

I will broil stinky sun-dried fish.

Then, will it happen again tomorrow?

What will?
