Original subtitles

What did you just say?

"You have a way of taking drastic action sometimes, so it worries me."

No, before that.

Before that? Then...

"It's okay for you to relax, but keep your wits about you."

One more step back.

One more step back?

"You'll be on your school trip starting tomorrow, won't you?"

Oh, no...

That's going too far back now.

Could my Onee-sama be playing dumb?

I asked you, " What would you like for a souvenir?" right?

And then, you said...

"All of you returning safe and sound would be the best souvenir of all,"

I believe is what I said.

Yes, that was how you responded.

Then I said, " But that doesn't tell me what I should buy for you."

To which, you started with, "If I had to choose..."

Um, didn't you say...

Say what?

That you would like Roman buns with bean-jam filling...

...or possibly Florentine rice crackers...

I did, but what of it?

Is this where I should laugh?

We missed our chance to buy them last year, you see.

If you get the opportunity,

I'd like it if you could buy even just one of them.

Where do they sell them?

I wasn't able to buy any, so how would I know?

Right...

So, that wasn't a joke?

Enjoy your trip.

Japanese Restaurant Ushio

Oh, Dear!

A send-off party for a measly school trip...

Talk about going overboard.

Yoshino.

How are the adults doing?

Mother and Auntie are paying the bill at the cash register.

Father is looking after Uncle.

Taking a train would be a little rough, so they said they'd call a cab.

Down for the count, huh?

Down for the count.

He's happy that you can go on the school trip like everyone else.

Yes.

We young people can take the train home.

Agreed.

Then, I'll go let them know.

Japanese Restaurant Ushio

Let's go.

The truth is...

What is it?

Nothing.

Come on, let's hurry on home.

The reason I suggested that we take the train home...

...isn't because we're young,

but because I want to spend time alone together.

But I'm not going to tell her that.

What is it?

It's nothing.

Because I can just see her getting all gleeful, and that would annoy me.

Just for a short while, I'll be "nice Yoshino" for her.

Because I'd feel bad for her,

if all she could recall for a whole week was " Yoshino looking sullen."

I'm sorry for calling so late at night.

It's fine.

Various people are dropping by, so we plan to be up late anyway.

But aren't you...

What?

...the sort who is early to bed and early to rise?

I was checking the things I packed for tomorrow one more time.

School Trip -Italy- Italy

School Trip -Italy- Italy Oh, right. Given where you're going,

School Trip -Italy- Italy you can't easily come back to get something.

you can't easily come back to get something.

Even if it can be bought over there,

there's no knowing if I can go shopping so easily, right?

I also...

I also tend to worry about forgetting things.

Really.

So, I forgot to tell you something at school,

and I hesitated for a bit and decided to call you, after all.

What is it?

Have a good trip.

Be careful with everything.

Um, knowing you,

I'm not too worried that you'll go wild or anything, but...

Yes...

I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting for you to come home.

Noriko.

Thank you.

I was ready to take wing from there at any time,

but now, in that same place, there's someone awaiting my return.

Not a birdcage in which I'm bound and fettered,

but a precious nest.

And there, a precious fledgling waiting for me.

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' A cademy, a garden of maidens.

Maria Watches Over Us

Oh, that looks like it over there.

Good day.

Did you two come together?

Yes, on the direct bus to the airport.

Oh, there's such a thing?

Yes, though it takes time.

Changing bus after bus with heavy luggage would be rough,

so my Onee-sama suggested it.

Pardon!

If the three of you would please look this way...

Good day.

I thought I would make sure to get a shot of the Rosa Gigantea,

the Rosa Chinensis en bouton, and the Rosa Foetida en bouton...

...before the departure.

Tsutako-san, were you asked to do this by Mami-san?

Indeed she was.

So, you're always busily running around, even outside of school.

You've gone back and forth up here many times since earlier.

You saw me?

The truth is, I've been at the mercy of bogus information,

which had me going back and forth to the information desk.

Bogus information?

I heard the name " Sato Sei" on the announcement speakers.

Sato Sei?! Sato Sei?!

I told you, it's bogus.

It's the wrong person, or rather, I heard it wrong.

The name being called out was " Kato-san," right?

Does that mean you heard the announcement, too?

Yes.

For a moment, I thought it might be " Sato,"

but when I listened carefully the second time, it was " Kato."

Even if it had been " Sato Sei,"

it's more likely that it was someone else with the same name.

Your diligence is admirable, Mami-san.

I was rushing about all on my own. It seems kind of stupid now.

Come to think of it,

Wisteria Class and Pine Class are taking the same route, right?

I'm so glad!

If we'd been on opposite routes,

our Pine Class would have been largely separated from Shimako-san.

Thank you to the teachers who drew the lottery and to Maria-sama.

Tsutako-san, since when have you been the school paper's photographer?

Oh, no. Part of it is that Mami-san asked me to,

but my personal desire to is greater.

Are you going to demand that we let you put up prints...

...in the Photography Club's exhibit during the school festival?

Oh, Yoshino-san, you're so direct with your question.

I wish you would be a little less focused.

H-Hey, stop it!

Say, " Cheese!"

Good grief...

We better go over to the Pine Class soon!

Oh, is it already time to meet up?

Then, we'll see you later, Shimako-san.

Should I offer my encouragement and say,

We definitely need a shot of coin throwing at the Trevi Fountain. "I wish you luck with your battle?"

We definitely need a shot of coin throwing at the Trevi Fountain.

We definitely need a shot of coin throwing at the Trevi Fountain. Thank you.

I don't want it to look staged, though.

I don't want it to look staged, though. Then, Yumi-san, have a pleasant trip.

I better be careful not to take too many photos on the plane. Then, Yumi-san, have a pleasant trip.

I better be careful not to take too many photos on the plane.

I better be careful not to take too many photos on the plane. We'll probably see quite a bit of each other, but...

I'm sorry we couldn't pay for your expenses. We'll probably see quite a bit of each other, but...

A pleasant trip to you too, Shimako-san.

There.

Tsutako-san, are you sure you don't want the window seat?

I'm sure, I'm sure.

I'm more interested in what's inside than what's outside the plane.

Is that so?

Oh? She's trembling and praying.

If it weren't for the seatbelt, I could get a shot from the front.

That's not nice.

My, what an awfully proper and sensible opinion coming from you.

I mean, yes, I do feel bad for her.

But I still think it would've made a good photo.

That wonderful expression, like a little freezing bird.

It's truly unfortunate.

Both for myself and for her.

Wow, we're so high up!

Hey, hey, Tsutako-san.

Do you think Maria-sama watches us sort of like this?

Huh? What?

I take back everything I said.

You're still quite the amusing person, Yumi-san.

I feel like we just got up a little while ago and now we're already going to sleep.

Having the passengers sleep is the best way to have peace onboard.

I see.

I can understand why Sachiko-sama slept the whole time.

But I imagine we'll feel like broiler chickens...

...by the time we get off the plane.

Rome

We'll be getting on buses to get to the hotel in an hour,

so you're free to wander about until then.

However, under no circumstances are you to go outside the airport.

If you need coins, please let me know.

I'll get some for you.

What are you going to do, Yoshino-san?

I got the change that Rei-chan didn't use last year as a parting gift, so...

What are you going to do, Yumi-san?

I'm going to get change for myself.

You learn by experience!

Ooh, someone who likes a challenge!

I wonder if this will do.

All right, here goes.

Bu...

Buongiorno.

Buonasera.

Yumi-san. Yoshino-san.

There's something I wanted to discuss with you.

About the souvenir for the Rose Mansion...

Do you think we could make it from the three of us...

...and pool our money to buy it?

I think that would be fine.

Yes.

But we can buy it at the airport on the way home, right?

Since it will add to our baggage.

Should we go with something to eat, after all?

Toko-chan and Kanako-chan have been coming to help out lately, too,

so we should take them into account as well and...

Oh, right. I wish we'd gotten some ideas back at the shop Yumi-san went to.

True, but we should be fine.

I'm sure we'll have time on the way home, too.

You know...

About souvenirs...

What?

Do you have some good ideas?

If possible, I'd like to get Roman buns with bean-jam filling...

...or Florentine rice crackers...

Two-thirty-one.

This is it.

Oh, I'm tired.

Oh, Yumi-san.

Did you want this bed?

If so, I'll switch right away.

No, I don't care which I get.

Then, I'll just stay here.

Your uniform is going to get wrinkled.

I know.

Yoshino-san.

Just a little longer...

This is hopeless.

Yoshino-san, take a bath.

Yumi-san, you can go ahead.

I'll take one soon, so let me sleep.

Huh?

This is no good. I guess I'll go first.

Oh, right.

Now, then...

Oh, there's no washing area.

Which means, I can't rinse myself.

So I have to wash my hair, body, and face in the bathtub...

...and in the end, drain out the hot water I'm using now.

No! If I fall asleep here,

I could seriously drown!

Yoshino-san, I'm done.

Get up!

Or don't you want to take a bath?

If not, I'll go stop the water.

I won't take one now...

Will you take one later?

I don't know.

At any rate, you should sleep properly, or you'll catch a cold.

Come on, take your uniform off.

I'm told the wrinkles will come out if you hang it in the bathroom.

I can't get up.

You're hopeless.

Come up, wakey-wakey!

Yoshino-san?

What?

Could it be that you have a fever?

I wasn't really sure, but...

Your hand doesn't seem cool, so maybe it's not that bad.

It is that bad!

I just got out of the bath, so I'm warm!

I'm getting the teacher.

I'm fine, so please...

But...

It's just a slight fever.

I get them all the time.

If I sleep with a wet towel to cool my forehead,

I'll get better in a bit.

So...

Yoshino-san...

So this happens all the time?

Yes.

You'll get better if we cool your forehead?

Yes.

All right.

Then, let's do that.

For the towel, will the hotel's smallest size do?

Um, could you use the hand towel in the pocket of my bag?

The pocket of your bag. Got it.

This thing's seen a lot of years.

Yes.

But it's a magic towel.

It's always brought down my fevers.

When I was little, I couldn't sleep without this.

I see.

Then, let's get it to work its magic again.

Thank you. That feels good.

Really? I'm glad.

I don't have any more heart spasms,

but when I get tired and stuff, I still end up getting fevers.

But I'm gradually having fewer episodes of those, too.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I felt like if the teacher found out,

I would wind up separated from everyone again and I didn't want that.

I see.

Yumi-san.

What is it?

Sorry to trouble you.

I'm told that's what friends are for. To take on thankless roles.

So don't worry about it.

Yes, that's what Yoko-sama once said.

Rain?

No...

It's the sound of the shower...

That's right! Yoshino-san!

Huh? The bathroom? Where is she?!

Yoshino-san?!

What'll I do?

She must have collapsed in there!

l-I should get the teacher...

Humming?

Sorry, Yumi-san.

Did you need the bathroom?

Really?

Then, sorry, but do you mind if I just dry my hair?

I was worried for nothing...

That was refreshing!

Sorry to make you wait, Yumi-san.

You know...

I told you, it happens all the time.

If I cool my forehead and sleep, I get better.

I know what you said, but...

I took our uniforms out of the bathroom before my shower...

and hung them in the closet, so they shouldn't be damp.

Sorry for worrying you.

You're the only one in our class that I can show my weakness to.

With a killer line like that,

she really leaves me no choice but to be okay with it.

I really was worried, you know.

When we were being assigned rooms,

Yoshino-san expressed a strong desire to share a room with me.

I'm sure it was because she knew something could occur...

...like what happened yesterday.

I wonder how long we'll be in line.

I don't know. Maybe about an hour?

This country is laid back.

Laid back?

I'm not saying it's negative.

Being laid back means it's calm and serene,

and you could say it's a kind of open-mindedness, too.

I just mean it's different from Japan.

So, it's not about which is better or worse,

but just a matter of national character...

I hope I'll discover a lot of new things.

What's wrong? You seem to be in a daze.

Um, the capacity of my brain can't possibly take all this in.

But that's fine.

You should just think of it as a " win,"

if you can find one or two works of art that you like at a museum.

Michelangelo's " The Last Judgment."

This is the " win" for me...

...maybe.

Shima...

S-Shimako-san?

I wonder why...

The tears just won't stop...

My...

What a terribly tubby Jesus-sama.

T-They're both my precious friends.

Oh, rosaries.

What are you going to do, Yumi-san?

What?

It seems Shimako-san gave Noriko-chan the one she received from Sei-sama, but...

You mean...

...for your future little sister?

Yes.

Since mine is something Rei-chan boughtjust for me.

Come to think of it, what about your rosary?

I wonder if it's the one Yoko-sama gave to Sachiko-sama...

I don't know.

Now that I think about it, I never asked.

At the very least, it's certain she didn't prepare it specifically for me.

Oh, right.

Because Sachiko-sama asked Shimako-san before she asked you.

I wonder if my Onee-sama was thinking of Shimako-san...

...when she bought the rosary.

I have slightly mixed feelings about that...

Say, won't you buy one too?

Oh, are you trying to drag me into this too?

I just had a great idea.

Rosary fortune telling.

What's that?

Out of these rosaries, we buy the ones that we feel inspired by.

Then, when we get back,

we find the first-year students who suit those rosaries the best...

...and make them our little sisters.

What do you think?

What do I think?

I think I'll decline.

Oh, really?

I prefer simpler ones to these flashy ones that use colored stones.

I'll just leave it at that for now.

Yumi-san, what are you thinking about?

What?

You've been drifting in and out of thought for a while now.

Homesick already? Or are you missing your Onee-sama?

Oh, please. That's not it.

Then, what is it?

We went to Castel Sant'A ngelo earlier, right?

Oh, that castle they said was one of the settings in Tosca?

And when I heard that it was an opera...

...I was suddenly reminded of Kanina Shizuka-sama.

Oh, Rosa Canina...

Itjust made me wonder how she's doing and if she's well.

I imagine she's doing fine.

As they say, no letters means everything's fine.

Speaking of letters...

You startled me. When did you get back?

Just now.

It looked like you two were having a nice little secret chat,

so I came to eavesdrop.

It wasn't really a secret chat.

So, what did you mean, " speaking of letters" ?

Oh, yes. Right.

Did you know?

There's a post office in the Vatican Museum.

And they said they sent out postcards to Japan from there.

The students of the Cherry Blossom Class did, that is.

To their family?

No, to their big sisters or little sisters.

Come on, we're going to the Trevi Fountain!

Pine Class, gather around!

Yes, ma'am! Yes, ma'am!

A postcard to my Onee-sama...

If I let this chance slip by, who knows when the next opportunity will be...

...for me to send my Onee-sama a postcard from overseas.

By the way, this is unconfirmed information,

but I just got a tip from a student in the Cherry Blossom Class.

There seems to have been an incident at Borghese Park.

One of the students got lost, right?

Everyone knows about it.

She was wandering around the park, crying,

when a kind person helped her...

Stop.

I worked up the nerve to go visit that student's room and interviewed her.

I'm amazed she answered your questions.

I promised her anonymity.

Let us just call her Miss A.

The Cherry Blossom Class had arrived at Borghese Park...

...and they were operating in groups.

But something caught her attention...

...and she ended up wandering that way, away from her group.

It seems the group didn't notice that they'd lost someone, either.

Especially since it was getting dark already.

No one takes roll-call within a group, right?

So, what was it that caught her attention?

The thing is...

It was Sato Sei-sama.

She says she saw her.

I know that already.

Sheesh! I'll be fine.

Rei-chan, you're worrying too much.

So, Yoshino-san is on the phone with her big sister.

Lucky her. Her big sister is her cousin.

Phone calls to Japan have to be made as collect calls,

so you can only call your own home.

It would be rude to call Sachiko-sama's home.

I want to hear Sachiko-sama's voice, too.

I want to see her this very minute.

I want her to know that I feel this way. That I miss her.

Japan and Italy.

Right now, there's only physical distance separating us.

Once I get on the plane and go home, I'll get to see her again.

But in time, if more nebulous reasons...

...like circumstances and time end up drawing us apart,

what should we do?

What happens after my Onee-sama has graduated...

Thinking about it right now is pointless, but...

I miss her...

I miss my Onee-sama...

Right. And when that happened...

Tomorrow is Pisa and Florence.

I have to get my mood switched around.

Florence

Pisa

It's really tilted.

I feel weird, like gravity is pulling at us diagonally.

But I'm amazed...

...that Rei-sama gave you permission to climb up the Leaning Tower.

I didn't get Rei-chan's permission.

What?

Or rather, she misinterpreted me on her own.

I said, " Yumi-san and the others are climbing the Leaning Tower."

"They're so brave, don't you think?"

I'm amazed you didn't get your hand bitten by the Mouth of Truth.

Because I didn't lie.

What do you want to do?

It looks like you can still go higher...

No way, no way.

I'll pass.

Me, too.

I'm so glad.

To be honest, if the three of you said you still wanted to go higher,

I didn't know what I was going to do.

Are you actually the sort...

...who has a hard time speaking up about stuff like that?

Yumi-san.

Shimako-san.

Good day, Yumi-san.

Rosa Canina!

Shizuka-sama, what are you doing here?!

I came to see all of you, of course.

I'm surprised you knew what our schedule would be.

I have a pen pal who kept me informed.

A pen pal? Could that be...

...Sei-sama?

It's Shimako-san.

Yes.

Pen pals? You two are?

Is there something strange about that?

But...

Might I ask something?

I'm Yamaguchi Mami with the school paper.

There are rumors that Sei-sama is here in Italy.

Do you know anything about that, Shizuka-sama?

Have you heard anything about this?

No.

I haven't heard anything, either.

If she is here, the least she could do is contact me.

She knows both my address and my phone number, you know.

Then, I guess it was bogus info after all.

Did you four go up the tower?

Yes.

More or less.

Then, if you'd like, why don't we go to the Baptistry together?

It's my favorite place.

What do you think?

Well, it's rather like a large bathing area.

The reason I like this place is because it's like a large bathing area.

What was that song called?

I improvised.

I couldn't think of an existing piece that would echo harmoniously.

I'd always wanted to do that.

I used all of you as an excuse.

Yumi-san, we're going to the ladies' room.

Then, I shall also be returning to the Wisteria Class.

All right. Thank you for keeping me company.

Not at all. I'd like to thank you myself.

I'll write to you again.

Yes, please do.

I'll write, too.

Do you live near here, Shizuka-sama?

It isn't that close.

Right now, I live with an aunt who married an Italian man.

It must give your parents peace of mind that you're staying with relatives.

You know, they call so often it's almost annoying.

But when people show you with their actions...

...that they want to know how you are, that you're well, and to hear your voice,

it still brings such joy.

It shows they're thinking of me.

And it's really easy to understand, since they're so direct about it.

Don't you ever call them yourself?

International calls are expensive, so I stick to this.

My parents aren't very good with computers and things,

so exchanging e-mails doesn't seem likely to happen.

So when I come to tourist spots like this,

I buy a postcard and send it out.

Mail is mail, but mine is airmail.

Um, where did you buy that postcard?

A souvenir shop? What about stamps?

Would it be all right if I ran over there really quick to buy some?

What's gotten into you? Calm down, Yumi-san.

B-But...

First, sit down here.

You want to send a postcard to Japan?

Yes...

To Sachiko-san, right?

You can have this.

What?

I have stamps, too.

But... Then, um, please sell this to me.

That's not very endearing.

Yumi-san, in situations like this,

all you have to say is, " Thank you very much."

But...

I was trying to be the grown-up here, but...

All right then. I'll accept payment for the stamps.

All right.

Um, Shizuka-sama?

What is it?

How do you suppose you say "good day" in Italian?

"Good day" ?

If it's in the sense of " hello," I think it would be " buongiorno,"

but if it's to Sachiko-san, I think you can get away with " ciao."

"Ciao" ...

Right, and if it's " Good day, Onee-sama,"

that would be " Ciao, Sorella."

Yumi-san, do you still not have a little sister?

Not really, no.

Sachiko-san doesn't nag you about it?

Not at the moment.

I see.

But I'm sure that won't be the case for long.

So you should monopolize her attention while you can.

I am in Pisa right now. I am enjoying the trip. Yumi

Onee-sama,

I miss you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Yumi-san.

There was a fee to use the bathroom.

You pay a lady at the entrance.

It's so conscientious of them that they give you change.

Given that you have to pay for it, it was very clean.

On our way back, the three of us were already talking about it,

but wouldn't you like some Italian gelato?

While we were climbing the tower,

Itsue and her group said that they had some.

We missed our chance to have some at the Spanish Steps, after all.

If it's a gelato shop, there's one nearby.

Would you like to join us, too?

I had my chance to chat with you all, so I'll be excusing myself now.

I have to go home and prepare for tomorrow's classes, too.

Oh, yes, Yumi-san.

Would you like me to mail out your postcard along with mine?

There are post boxes all over the place,

but they can be hard to find when you need them the most.

Oh, would you mind?

Onee-sama, I miss you.

Thank you very much.

It'll be a great help.

Then see you again sometime.

When you find your little sister, please write and let me know.

I will.

Yumi-san.

She got me.

Gotcha!

Florence

Should I buy souvenirs for Toko-chan and Kanako-chan, too?

Buying souvenirs is fine, but...

But?

Yumi-san, which one are you going to make your little sister?

You can't make both of them your little sister,

so you had better not get their hopes up too much.

Hopes, huh?

And what about you, Yoshino-san?

Did you buy a rosary for your future little sister at the Vatican?

I didn't . I changed my mind.

It feels meaningless to buy a present without an intended in mind.

Besides...

Besides?

I figured that I should pick a little sister that I adore...

...so much that I would be willing to give her my precious rosary from Rei-chan.

Good day.

Good day.

Florence is a great place.

Visit it at least once.

It's speaking Japanese!

Florentine rice crackers.

Florentine rice crackers.

Stop it already, Sato-san.

Sato-san?!

Venice

Say, do you think that was Sei-sama, after all?

I don't know.

Well, no matter how much we think about it,

we won't reach any conclusions.

Not unless Sei-sama were to appear before us right this minute.

It seems there's a legend that if you kiss while passing under this bridge,

eternal love will be yours.

But the truth is, when prisoners crossed this bridge,

they would sigh, lamenting that they'd never be able to return...

...and that's why it's called the Bridge of Sighs.

I wish you wouldn't wreck the dream.

Oh, but even if its namesake is the sighs of prisoners,

it doesn't have to negate the legend about kissing under it too.

We weren't able to find any rice crackers in the city of Florence.

The people in my group said they'd never heard of them, either.

Of course they don't have anything like that for sale.

Then, what do you want to do?

I should think chocolates would be all right.

Though, it will be the same as last year, then.

It's going the safe route, but they were delicious.

You know, Shimako-san...

About Sei-sama...

She is here after all, isn't she?

You saw her? You saw her?

No, but I sensed it.

That she is nearby.

Then, why doesn't Sei-sama get in touch with us?

I wonder if it's conceited of me...

I think she's doing it for me.

I want to see her...

To see my Onee-sama...

Ciao, Sorella.

I can't wait to see you, Onee-sama.

I'm back, Onee-sama.

Welcome home.

Did you take lots of photos?

Oh, yes, Tsutako-san took them for us.

I see. Did you have fun?

Yes.

I'm glad to hear that.

Um, but I couldn't find either Roman buns with bean-jam filling...

...or Florentine rice crackers...

What?

So, um...

You thought I was serious?

It was a joke, of course.

Ajoke?

No way...

Isn't that why you laughed then?

Because you understood that?

That was more the nerves showing and not real laughing, though...

How strange...

That was Sei-sama's joke, but I guess it didn't go over well with you.

Oh, no... Pardon me.

This is a souvenir.

Thank you.

Did you buy souvenirs for the first-year students, too?

Yes. Shimako-san bought something for Noriko-chan,

so I bought souvenirs for Toko-chan and Kanako-chan.

Yoshino-san warned me that I shouldn't buy them anything,

because it would get their hopes up,

but I just felt like I should anyway...

Are you okay with them getting their hopes up?

We'll be relying on them during the school festival, too, so...

But on the other hand, I got something for everyone at Hanadera, too.

I see. So it's your show of thanks for their help.

Yes.

People might say that you're trying to be everybody's friend.

That's fine with me.

I understand how you feel, then.

Maybe I'll ask for extra prints from Tsutako-chan, too.

Pardon me, but extra prints of what?

Who knows?

Say, Shimako-san? Pretty good, right?

What is it, Noriko? Yes, you're improving.

Yes, you're improving.

What did you get as a souvenirforyourfamily? Yes, you're improving.

What did you get as a souvenirforyourfamily? Really?

What did you get as a souvenirforyourfamily?

Mothertold me I should make Father's lunch next time, too.

What do you think I got? Mothertold me I should make Father's lunch next time, too.

Mothertold me I should make Father's lunch next time, too.

Hmm, I wonder. Was it some kind of food?

Hmm, I wonder. Was it some kind of food? That's great. I'm sure Uncle will like that, too.

Yes, you got that part right. That's great. I'm sure Uncle will like that, too.

That's great. I'm sure Uncle will like that, too. Can I see you for a second?

Can I see you for a second?

Then, if Father enjoys it, I'll make lunch foryou, too.

Food? Hmm... Pasta! Then, if Father enjoys it, I'll make lunch foryou, too.

Then, if Father enjoys it, I'll make lunch foryou, too. Yes?

Then, if Father enjoys it, I'll make lunch foryou, too.

Um...

You know... Why do you do these things without thinking through them?

Without thinking through them?

What? Did I mishandle the transportation of stage materials...

...to the gymnasium or something?

Or did I have the order mixed up...

...on the notices sent out to the club presidents?

That's not it.

Your work for the Yamayuri Council has been good.

Even I recognize that.

But you know...

What are you going to do about the repercussions I now face at this late date...

...for something you did without much thought?

On top of which, you just left it at that,

and you've completely forgotten about it, haven't you?

Pardon?

Honestly!

This.

What? Oh!

I just received it now.

How am I supposed to react to this?

When we've been seeing each other every day.

Shoot, Shizuka-sama warned me that airmail would take a while, too...

So, when did it...

It arrived when I got home yesterday.

I see.

Oh, what should I do?

This is embarrassing.

I am sorry, Onee-sama.

Can we just say this postcard never happened...?

Never happened?!

You must be joking!

I'm putting this in the album you gave me,

along with photos of you and keeping it safe, of course.

What?

I'm not going to forget about this for the rest of my life.

Anyway, so there you have it.

It seems we both missed each other.

She won't forget about this for the rest of her life...

I see, I get it.

Sachiko-sama looks like she's a little angry when she's embarrassed.

You are breathing even now. Anata ga ima mo iki o shite iru

That alone already fills my heart. Sore dake de mou mune wa ippai

Words to express the trembling of my heart... Kokoro no furue arawasu kotoba wa

...are difficult to find, but... umaku sagasenai kedo

Your smile, beautiful melodies. Anata no hohoemi kirei na senritsu

Small flowers that blanket the field in the spring. Haru no nohara ichimen ni hiraku kobana

Gentle sunlight, raindrops of blessing. Yawaraka na hizashi megumi no amatsubu ga

I looked up to the heavens... Furisosogimasu youni

...so that they would pour down on us. ten o miageta
