Original subtitles

I'm not going.

Huh?

I said that I'm not going.

But more importantly,

is there nothing you can do about that silly-sounding way you respond?

But Onee-sama, what about your promise?!

I have no intention of breaking my promise with you.

But Yumi, you're going about this...

...as if you're ready to rush out there this very minute.

But I've been waiting a long time to go to the amusement park.

It's not as if I'm refusing to go.

I'm merely questioning the idea of going right now.

And thus, discussing that with you.

Liar. Just now, you clearly said,

"I'm not going."

Stop nitpicking at my words.

You've really become so defiant lately.

Being a timid person at heart, every word you utter...

...strikes home like a knife!

My! Talking back to me like that!

Any timid person would be scandalized!

Um, is it all right to just leave those two alone?

They're having a friendly, sisterly fight,

so we aren't going to do anything boorish.

We don't need to stop them?

Nope. Because they're just playing with each other.

Playing?

Oh, you'd like some more?

I'll get you some right away.

I'm impressed you noticed.

Well, I am your little sister.

See?

When it comes to sisterly fights, never mind dogs,

even bacteria won't touch it.

Amusement parks...

...tend to get crowded during summer break, don't they?

Well...

Besides, hot weather doesn't agree with me,

so I go to our vacation home every summer to escape the heat.

Let us do the amusement park in the winter.

All right.

I wanted to go somewhere with you during summer break, though...

You just have to suggest a place that you can only go to in the summer.

That's what I did.

Are you going somewhere this summer, Yoshino-san?

Heh, heh, heh.

"Heh, heh, heh" ?

Climbing Mt. Fuji.

Really?!

It's always been a dream of mine.

It's been almost 10 months since my surgery,

I got my doctor's permission,

and I'll have my guardian with me, too.

Yoshino-san, you used some forceful method again...

...to talk your doctor and Rei-sama into this, didn't you?

Shimako-san, do you have plans for your summer break?

I'm thinking of going with Noriko...

...to a string of churches and Buddhist statue exhibits.

Wow. That combination is so like you.

What about yourself, Yumi-san?

Based on annual tradition, I guess my grandma's place in Yamanashi.

Yumi.

Y-Yes?

Will you come?

Huh?

If you'd like, come to my vacation home.

Wha...

What?

What?!

The maidens, who flock to Maria-sama'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

Vacation of the Lambs

Is there anyone you want to invite to the vacation home?

Pardon?

If you'd like, you can invite a couple of people.

Have you invited anyone else besides me?

No.

Would you like to see if Sei-sama is interested?

You would enjoy having Sei-sama along, wouldn't you?

But don't college students have seminars and such?

Oh, you might be right.

Onee-sama,

are you uneasy about having only me over?

How could that possibly be?

Why do you say things that are completely off the mark like that?

Having you come over would be more than enough for me.

I feel the same! As long as you're there...

You're fine with just us two?

Yes!

If it's just the two of us,

we're bound to enjoy ourselves just by being alone together.

At that time, I believed that to be true and had no doubts.

Did you hear that?

I heard it.

The Ogasawara family vacation home.

I would love to be invited.

If that's not possible,

I would settle for the tiniest peek at the Red Rose sisters on vacation.

But it's private property, so we can't gain entry without permission.

Shall we ask Yumi-san to take us with her?

You never know. She might say okay.

But once you've stolen a glimpse...

...of how they seem to be in their own world,

it makes it rather hard to ask.

Because we'd be nuisances.

We would be nuisances.

Oh, but how I would love to see.

Yes, I would want to see it.

The Rosa Chinensis and her en bouton...

...on their beautiful and tranquil vacation...

And thus, the eagerly anticipated summer break began.

Monday

Well, well, dressed in your finest, I see.

Putting a lot of effort in.

Got a problem with that?

It's just a vacation home, right? Relax, relax.

Enjoy your short vacation.

I will.

I'll be in the same area for the student council retreat,

so we might run into each other.

Oh, you are?

You know, in that dress, you're like a lily.

I don't look like a lily, silly!

Was that a pun?

Oh?

That's right. There's nothing to be nervous about.

It's just a vacation home.

After all, I'm going there to spend a pleasant week with my Onee-sama.

Yumi.

W-W-Why is she in jeans?!

Good morning, Yumi.

What an adorable one-piece.

And you, Onee-sama. Your new jeans look very good on you.

Oh, yes, those jeans that you selected for me on our Valentine's date...

I wore them around the house every so often,

and then my grandfather bought these for me.

They look expensive...

Then, shall we go?

Onee-sama.

The ticket gates are this way.

I said we would be going by car, remember?

What? No, I hadn't heard...

I'm certain that I told you, " by car."

"By car" ...?

Yes, by car.

By car... By car...

Oh!

I believe you said that if you arrived early,

you'd wait until I arrived, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

If I arrived early, I'd be in the air-conditioned car...

"By car (kuruma de)" and "until you arrived (kuru made)"...

I can't believe it!

So we arrived at two different assumptions.

H-How do you like it?

It's delicious.

I'm so glad!

Then, please have some of this, too.

You're so lucky, Yumi.

I've never had a homemade lunch to take with me...

...on field trips or to the sports fest.

So, Sayako Oba-sama does not make lunches?

She does, but it takes her an incredibly long time.

There was a time when she still hadn't finished...

...by the time I had returned from the field trip.

In a way, that is impressive.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to sleep for a bit.

What?

Good night.

She's going to sleep already?

Yumi-san!

Why is Mt. Fuji here?!

Here.

Omikuji Fortune

Omikuji Fortune Why an omikuji fortune?

Omikuji Fortune

Troubles Await You

Yumi. Yumi.

We're at a rest stop. Let's go to the restroom.

Vanilla Soft- Serve

Vanilla Soft- Serve Wanting to eat ice cream... You're such a child.

Wanting to eat ice cream... You're such a child.

It's delicious.

Hurry up and finish it.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, dear.

Soft-serve ice cream is like Ogasawara Sachiko-sama.

Not only are they both cool, but also soft and sweet.

This area has been a place for vacation homes since the old days.

This is a place that my Onee-sama likes.

While I'm with her, I want to experience as many things as I can...

...that are favorites of my Onee-sama's .

Here we are.

Welcome back, Ojou-sama.

Kiyo and Gensuke, you both look well.

They are the Sawamuras. They look after the place for us.

I'm Fukuzawa Yumi. Thank you for having me.

Welcome, Yumi-sama.

You must be tired.

Please come inside and make yourself at home.

You must be surprised that it's such a tiny old house.

No, not at all. It's a wonderful house.

I had braced myself, since this was the Ogasawara family vacation home,

but I feel like I can handle this.

We received a shipment of rice...

...from your family addressed to Sachiko Ojou-sama.

R-Rice?!

kuronuma koshihikari R-Rice?!

kuronuma koshihikari

kuronuma koshihikari Oh, Mother!

Your family is great, Yumi.

It must be because you grew up in such a household...

...that you and Yuki-san turned out the way you have.

Is that a compliment?

Kiyo, when you cook rice while we're here, please use this rice.

Certainly.

This is your room.

We aren't going to be in the same room?

I might read books late at night,

so you'd have a hard time sleeping with the light on.

All right.

Go put away your things.

At any rate, I'm here at my Onee-sama's vacation home.

At school, the Rosa Chinensis belongs to everyone,

but I'll have my Onee-sama to myself for this week.

Yay!

Yumi-sama, please have some lunch.

What about my Onee-sama?

She said she'd like to lie down for a while,

so she's resting upstairs.

Is she not feeling well in some way?

No, she does this every year.

She rests until nearly evening on the day she arrives.

I see.

Just as she said,

it was already time for dinner by the time Onee-sama woke up.

What were you doing while I was sleeping, Yumi?

Well, I put my things away and lay down for a bit.

It's so nice and quiet here, isn't it?

Y-Yes.

But, I was a little Ionely without you around.

My...

Then, shall we spend the night playing some games?

Could we?

Of course.

I'm so happy!

Yumi, don't get up while we're eating.

Yes, ma'am...

Unfortunately, at the vacation home,

there were only cards, chess, and go,

but the time I spent with my Onee-sama was fun...

...and the game-filled night went on to half past midnight.

Tuesday

Good morning.

Good morning.

Yumi-sama, were you able to sleep well?

Yes! Compared to Tokyo, it's so cool here,

I was able to sleep soundly.

Oh, that smells good!

I just bought them freshly baked.

There will be piping hot bread for you to enjoy.

Yumi-sama, please go wake Sachiko Ojou-sama...

...before the bread and omelets grow cold.

All right!

Onee-sama?

Pardon me.

This is no time to be lost in admiration.

O-Onee-sama!

Onee-sama!

Please wake up! It's morning!

The bread and omelets will grow cold!

I don't want breakfast, so let me sleep instead.

You can't do this!

I want to have breakfast with you, Onee-sama!

We're going now!

Please get up!

Oh, all right. I'll get up. Happy now?

Yumi.

Yes?

I'll be there in five minutes.

All right.

Then I'll be waiting downstairs!

You big dummy!

Don't just stand there staring at her as she gets changed!

What book is that?

Summer break homework. A book report.

You should get your homework done early, too.

Our schedule is packed later on, after all.

What? Are we going somewhere today?

No, we're not going anywhere.

But I told you, remember? During the latter half of summer break,

the Yamayuri Council will be busy preparing for the school festival.

Oh...

Where is your homework?

I didn't bring it.

You didn't even bring the book for your book report?

Pardon me...

Could I help you with anything?

Goodness, no!

Being Sachiko Ojou-sama's little sister,

you are practically a daughter of the Ogasawara family.

If I allowed you to help, I would be reprimanded.

Besides, I would ask that you not take my work from me.

All right...

If I'd known it'd be like this,

I'd have brought some crossword puzzles or something.

A squirrel...

Come here.

Guess it doesn't like me.

This is no fun.

"I hope you are well in this hot summer weather."

"Currently,

I am enjoying the hospitality of Sachiko-sama's vacation home."

"It's cool and very quiet here."

"I'm only sorry...

...that I cannot deliver this delicious fresh air along with this letter."

"Yumi."

It's only been pressed for half a day.

That isn't enough to make a pressed leaf, is it?

They only need to last until they reach Yoshino-san and Shimako-san, so...

I see.

So, you didn't bring your homework,

but you brought your own postcards and stamps.

These are staple items for traveling, after all.

Let's write the address here as well.

Today, Onee-sama is reading again.

Wednesday Today, Onee-sama is reading again.

Wednesday

Wednesday With the intention of keeping her company,

Wednesday I also borrowed a book by...

Wednesday ...Natsume Soseki off the bookshelf, but...

You have a visitor, Yumi-sama.

A-All right.

You forgot this, so I came to deliver it.

Oh!

You forgot it at home after you went to the trouble of buying it.

Your fun vacation won't begin without this, right?

You stu... Don't say such unnecessary things!

Yumi, you shouldn't behave that way after he brought it for you.

Right...

Yuki-san, please come in.

We'll be having lunch soon,

so you should join us.

Oh, no.

I'm supposed to meet the members of the student council on the main street.

We only arrived just now,

but everybody was already saying they wanted to go into town.

What? You're going to the main street?!

You haven't been yet? You want to come with me?

Yumi, you should go.

If you're with Yuki-san, there'll be nothing to worry about.

You should come with us, Sachiko-san.

I've been there before, and besides, I don't like crowds.

You needn't hesitate on my account.

But...

Then I'll be borrowing my big sister for a while.

Yumi, come on, let's go.

It's not good.

What's not good?

It was written all over your face that you actually wanted to go.

My face... Was it really showing?

Yes.

Not going because you're concerned about Sachiko-san is disrespectful to her.

But...

Hey there, Yukichi and Yumi-chan.

Kashiwagi-san...

Thank you very much.

I would be happy to be of service to you at any time, Yumi-chan.

Please excuse me.

Yumi-chan.

Good luck.

With what?

Well, I just have this premonition.

That you might be in for some trouble.

Because you're away from your home turf here, Yumi-chan.

Away...?

I'm back.

Yumi, are you back? Come over here.

All right.

Ladies, this is Fukuzawa Yumi, who became my little sister at school.

She'll be staying here until Monday,

so please make her feel welcome.

P-Pleased to meet you.

My name is Ayanokoji Kikuyo.

Pleased to meet you, Yumi-sama.

I am Saionji Yukari.

I am so envious that you have become Sachiko-sama's little sister.

I am Kyogoku Kieko.

I would love to be friends with you.

Toko-chan...

Good day, Yumi-sama.

Yumi, come sit with us.

Once they get home,

those girls will waste no time in spreading rumors about you.

Rumors? Like what?

They've all adored Sachiko Onee-sama for the longest time.

You came later, and yet, you became her little sister,

so there's no way the rumors will be good.

I see. So we're talking about three more Toko-chans.

A bit terrifying, isn't it?

Good day.

Good day.

Did you have fun in town?

Yes!

But I still prefer being with you, Onee-sama.

Thursday

Red pine, larch, katsura, maple...

In autumn, the leaves change colors.

Do you hear that? It's the cry of a blue-and-white flycatcher.

You're so knowledgeable.

Watch out. There's a broken branch there.

I like the fog, too.

This is what I wanted to show you.

What my Onee-sama loves is her vacation home,

and the nature surrounding it.

To her,

this place is like her personal playroom, where she can feel at ease.

This is a special and cherished space that belongs only to her,

and she invited me into it.

Onee-sama!

What is it?

Are you afraid of the fog?

You'll be fine if we stay like this.

Because the mischievous fairies only go after those who are alone.

Kikuyo-chan, homework is something you should do by yourself.

Don't say that!

Every year, I look forward to studying under your tutelage.

That is practically the only reason I come to our vacation home here.

Or perhaps because Yumi-sama is here this year,

you no longer care about me at all?

Yumi has nothing to do with this.

You are unfair, Yumi-sama.

You have Sachiko Onee-sama all to yourself, morning to night!

And yet, you will not even share a little of that time with me?!

That is beyond greedy.

Onee-sama must have changed because of you!

Kikuyo-chan, don't cry.

I'll go read upstairs.

Yumi, I'm sorry about this.

Not at all.

Just by being near the person that I care about,

it makes someone else sad.

But it's important to find people you love, right?

Hang in there, me!

But one misfortune was followed by another.

In the afternoon...

My mother is saying that she would like to see you, Sachiko Onee-sama.

It would be fine if she could come visit,

but unfortunately, she is feeling ill.

My! Kyogoku Oba-sama is not well?

Why not pay her a visit?

Yumi, what about you?

I'll spend my time...

...working on my report on that book I borrowed,

and wait for you at home.

Oh, you could come as well, Yumi-sama

It wouldn't be good if a stranger were to visit...

...and aggravate your mother's health.

Really? That's too bad.

Yumi-sama, a moment please.

Yes?

Please be careful around those ladies.

What?

Kyogoku Ojou-sama asked me a great many questions about you.

About me?

At first, I thought she was interested in getting to know you better,

so I made the mistake of telling her all sorts of things...

...about what has gone on since you came here.

I'm so very sorry.

I should have been more cautious with her.

I'm sure it will be fine.

After all, nothing has happened that would be bad for them to know.

Yes, yes. It's precisely as you say.

But those ladies care a great deal about pedigree and prestige,

so I am a little worried.

But even though she tells me to be careful,

I don't know what to be careful of.

Is something the matter?

Something, nothing!

When I went,

the entire Kyogoku family was there attending a garden party!

Then, what about Kieko-sama's mother?

As healthy as can be!

An invalid guzzling champagne in the middle of the day,

stuffing herself full of barbecued meat!

Just how do you explain that?!

How do I explain that?

You can ask me all you want, but...

I'm sorry. I have no reason to take this out on you.

No...

Shall we just go back to Tokyo now?

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'm just sick of this.

These farcical relationships I have with some people.

All I wanted was to spend some leisurely time with you.

Why won't they leave me alone?!

At times, I find the family name of Ogasawara to be a burden.

I love my parents and my grandfather.

I'm grateful to them for having raised me thus far,

putting more care and money into my upbringing than most people enjoy.

But at times, I dream...

If the four of us in my family had lived in a house...

...about as big as this vacation home, how wonderful it might have been...

So when I was little,

I was so happy when my family came to stay here...

...during the company's Bon Festival holiday.

While we were here, neither my father nor my grandfather...

...would go to see other women.

So that's why you like this place.

Then, don't suggest that we go home.

Let's stay for as long as we can.

Here, I cannot protect you.

What?

You came up in conversation at the Kyogoku house.

What were they saying?

It was ridiculous!

Even the Lillian Ledger wouldn't print such worthless stories!

Then, please tell me just how worthless it was.

About the rice...

I see. So it was the rice.

I needn't say more, do I?!

It's not even worth telling you about it!

I'm sorry.

Because of me, you've had to suffer embarrassment.

That's not it.

I've never once thought that you were an embarrassment!

Don't you see? I don't want to hurt you!

You must suffer, all because you became my little sister!

I hate that more than anything!

My Onee-sama is angry.

And yet, I can watch her with such calm in my heart.

It was strange.

I want you to always feel that you enjoy being with me.

I do enjoy it.

Liar.

It's true.

I enjoy even the hardships and the sad things.

Being with you is the very thing that makes me happy.

Why can't you understand that?

Yumi...

So, if you wish to go back, I will, of course, return with you,

and if you decide to stay, I will keep you company to the end.

All right.

If that is how you feel,

we will stay until Saturday as planned.

The truth is, I hate running away.

That's my Onee-sama!

Yumi.

Friday

There's one for you as well.

What? For me, too?

Miss Yumi Fukuzawa

We are holding aparty at our vacation home on Saturday starting atsix inthe evening.We would love to have you and lookforwardto seeing youthere. Yukari Saionji

Yukari Saionji

A party...

Yesterday, it was Ayanokoji-sama and Kyogoku-sama.

And now, tomorrow, Saionji-sama.

I have a feeling I'll run into one more spot of trouble after all.

Saturday

You guys... Why?!

Then, you read my postcards and that's why you came all this way?

Because, for you to send cards with such subdued text,

I had to think you were either bored or something had happened.

And when I gave Shimako-san a call,

we decided we were worried and that we'd come see how you were doing.

It even had the address neatly written down,

so we thought it might be a sign that you wanted us to come.

Oh, my Onee-sama wrote that.

My! It seems I was hasty in my conclusion.

Then, maybe Rosa Chinensis wanted you to come.

My Onee-sama?

Let us write the address here as well.

My Onee-sama had you come here for me...

So, where's Sachiko right now?

At the Matsudaira vacation home.

To say hello to Toko-chan's grandfather.

It looks like it was a good thing we came.

What?

Yumi-san, you're troubled by something right now, aren't you?

What?! Is it showing on my face again?!

We are holding aparty at ourvacation home on Saturday starting at six in the evening.We would love to have you and look forwardto seeing youthere. Yukari Saionji

You don't need to go.

I also think it would be better not to go.

But...

This is rather immature, isn't it?

Like bullying in grade school.

What did Sachiko say?

She seems to be of two minds about it.

I see. I can understand.

Understand what?

Sachiko is unnerved right now.

Fundamentally, when someone picks a fight with you, you take them on.

However, for Sachiko,

in cases where it's completely unknown who the opponent is...

...or what they might be thinking, she becomes really timid.

I think I can sort of understand...

She'd probably go, if she were on her own...

But Yumi-sama is with her on this occasion.

That's the issue.

For Sachiko right now,

it hurts more to see Yumi-chan attacked than to be attacked herself.

That's why she can't decide.

What do you want to do, Yumi-san?

I...

...feel like no matter which path we choose, it would be incorrect.

Incorrect?

If we go to the party, I'm sure something unpleasant will happen.

But if we don't go, I feel like someday,

we'll pay many times over for having run away.

Either way, I intend to go along with whatever Sachiko-sama decides.

Then, you might go?

Yes.

That's so stupid, Yumi-san.

There's no reason for you to knowingly walk into a trap.

Come home with us on the evening bullet train.

Not even those young ladies will come chasing after you...

...just to mess with you.

Thank you, but I'm not going home.

I've decided that when I go home, it'll be with my Onee-sama.

So you all came! I'm so happy!

Good day, Rosa Chinensis.

We saw the address on the postcards and brazenly invited ourselves over.

This area is as good as a labyrinth for strangers, isn't it?

If we didn't know your house number, we might never have made it here.

I know, right? That's why we don't give it out indiscriminately.

So this is your secret hideout.

It is. My secret hideout.

Have you been enjoying your summer break?

Yes, Noriko and I have been visiting churches and Buddhist statues...

...that are within a day-trip of us.

Even on our way here,

we had the pleasure of viewing a stone statue of Kannon.

I see. And what about you two?

How did climbing Mt. Fuji go?

You want to know how it went? Well...

In order to reach the peak at dawn,

you take a nap at a mountain hut along the way,

but everyone sleeps in one room and it's so cramped, you can barely move.

Next to me was a really fat lady...

...and with all the snoring and teeth gnashing, it was just awful.

What about viewing the sunrise?

We most certainly saw it.

Look at this. Blisters from my shoes.

Yoshino cheated. She got on a horse part way up.

Hey, Rei-chan, you weren't supposed to tell them that!

Rei-chan!

You should stay the night.

Wouldn't you rather come back with us?

Then we'll see you at school.

Yes. We shall see each other soon.

Yumi?

Yes?

You're sure?

Of course.

I will accompany you to the Saionji party.

Are you ready for this?

Yes, I will be fine.

Even if I should suffer a great blow,

once I see your gentle smile, I will be able to recover immediately.

Welcome, Sachiko Onee-sama.

Yumi-sama.

Thank you for the invitation.

Please, come to the back of the house.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Sachiko Onee-sama of the Ogasawaras has arrived.

And...

...the much anticipated Fukuzawa Yumi-sama is with her as well.

I'll go get us something to drink.

Certainly.

That's the Lady Koshihikari that everyone has been talking about.

Koshihikari...

I invited her over to our vacation home,

but she declined.

I think you might be a masochist, Yumi-sama.

Toko-chan...

After all that I said, don't say I didn't warn you.

Perhaps you should go home now, while you can.

You two sisters have a lot of nerve.

Kashiwagi-san...

You came, even though you had a pretty good idea...

...that you'd be treated cruelly in some way.

But why must I be treated cruelly?

It's a complex that they have towards the Ogasawara family.

The Ogasawara family?

Right. They're an old, well-established family.

Compared to that, those girls' families have less prestige.

It's always the people who stress the importance of pedigree the most...

...who feel a sense of inferiority.

But I'm not of the Ogasawara family.

As Sacchan's little sister,

you are as good as a daughter of the Ogasawara family.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

I happened to bump into my old calligraphy teacher...

What were you talking about?

Nothing.

Here we go.

Who is she?

The grand matriarch of the Saionji family.

Today's party is in celebration of her 88th birthday.

I had no idea today was her great-grandmother's birthday.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

We were the only ones who had not been notified of the occasion.

Great-Grandmother, happy birthday.

And now, I would like to ask everyone...

...to present her with a gift of music that she so loves.

I shall go first.

Could it be that she is...

Is she ill?

No, she's angry.

Because her children rebuilt this vacation home without her permission,

she's closed herself off emotionally from her family in anger.

By the way, Yumi-chan, do you play any instruments?

Some piano when I was little,

but I cannot play anymore.

Surely not?!

Yumi-sama.

Won't you please play something for my great-grandmother?

It can be anything. Just tell me what instrument you have skill with.

We have most kinds of instruments available.

But...

Yumi...

In that case...

Yumi.

Yumi, you've done enough.

It will be fine.

Yumi...

I'm not much good at anything and have no skill with instruments,

but in celebration of your birthday,

I shall perform a piece for you, Great-Grandmother.

"Maria-sama's heart, that is the blue sky."

"The vast blue sky that envelops us."

"Maria-sama's heart, that is the oak tree."

"The strong oak tree that protects us."

"Maria-sama's heart, that is the bush warbler."

"The bush warbler in the forest who sings with us."

"Maria-sama's heart, that is the Yamayuri lily."

"The white Yamayuri lily that even we desire."

"Maria-sama's heart, that is the sapphire."

"The shining sapphire that adorns us."

Thank you for the wonderful song.

It brought back old memories.

Please.

Maria-sama's heart, right?

Yes.

Please come visit again next year.

My dear angel.

Tomorrow will be our last day here at the vacation home,

so let's do what you want to do.

What would you like to do?

I would like to spend the day lying about.

Lying about?

I want to nap with you.

My!

All day tomorrow, even if we have visitors, we won't see them,

and we won't read books, either.

I want to spread a sheet out on the terrace...

...and just lie about with you, Onee-sama.

That sounds splendid.

Are you for it?

Of course.

Onee-sama? Is something the matter?

You know, earlier, I was so nervous I thought my heart would burst.

Earlier? You mean, when I started singing?

Yes.

Of all things, I...

I can't believe myself.

What's so funny?!

Because, in that moment,

I thought you were going to start dancing to the Yasuki Folk Song.

The Yasuki Folk Song?!

I wouldn't have put it past you.

Honestly! You're unbelievable, Onee-sama!

Really! Please drop it already!

Oh, Onee-sama!

Even if we became separated... Tatoe fukai yami ni

...and lost in a deep darkness. hagurete mayoikondemo

I would be able to find... Watashi naraba machigawazu ni

...you unerringly. anata no koto mitsukerareru

When I realize, you've slipped... Ki ga tsuku to tsunaida te

...your hand out of mine and run off. surinukete kaketeku

Running straight, never looking back. Furikaeru koto naku massugu ni

I'm fine with being left behind, li wa oitekibori datte

because I'll catch up in no time. sugu ni oitsuku kara

Right around when you remember me. Watashi no koto omoidasu koro ni

Call to me, listen to me. Watashi o yonde watashi o kiite

That alone will make your footprints shine. Sore dake de kagayaku anata no ashiato

I know that if a clam... Sou ne ima anata ga

...were to spit out a dream. nimaigai no hakidashita

And you became drawn into it, Yume no naka ni torikomarete

unable to return home. kaerenaku natte tara

I would slash open the sky... Sora o kirihiraite

...and fold up the raging waves. sakamaku nami oritatami

I promise you, I alone... Yakusoku suru watashi dake wa

...will come rescue you anata no koto sukuidasu to

The Yamayuri Council goes to help out every year, right?

But before that,

my younger brother, Yuki, says he wants to do a meet and greet.

The problem is you-know-who.

Will Sachiko-sama, who dislikes men, actually say okay to it?

And that's where you came up with an idea, right Yumi-san?

Yup! I call it,

Operation Suddenly Throwing Her Into An All-Boys' School...

...Will Be Too Great A Shock,

So We Will Have Her Get Used To It Gradually...

...And Overcome Her Keen Dislike Of Men.

Isn't that a little too long?

Then, Overcome Her Keen Dislike Of Men. Operation OK for short.

Then, Overcome Her Keen Dislike Of Men. Operation OK for short. Operation OK (Temp) For Short

I hope... Operation OK (Temp) For Short

It works out... Operation OK (Temp) For Short
