An Ordinary Day with Nothing Special About It

Wisteria Pine Festival Town

We are the idols of Year 2, Pine Class!

We are going to sell and sell and sell like crazy! Yeah!

Wait, Yumi-san, why aren't you saying, "Yeah!"?

You're really raring to go, Yoshino-san.

Of course! This is my first school festival since my surgery.

Now, let's do our best!

Come and check us out!

Welcome to the Wisteria Pine Festival Town!

On the day of the school festival,

Yoshino-san and I were making an all-out effort to attract customers...

Frankfurters Yoshino-san and I were making an all-out effort to attract customers...

Frankfurters ...to the Wisteria Pine Festival Town,

...to the Wisteria Pine Festival Town,

Water Balloons ...to the Wisteria Pine Festival Town,

Water Balloons a joint project between the Year 2 Wisteria and Pine Classes.

a joint project between the Year 2 Wisteria and Pine Classes.

How about some oden or frankfurters... a joint project between the Year 2 Wisteria and Pine Classes.

...or cotton candy?!

...or cotton candy?! In truth, I would've liked to man the counter or something, though.

In truth, I would've liked to man the counter or something, though.

The Wisteria Pine Festival Town is over here! In truth, I would've liked to man the counter or something, though.

Welcome!

Yoko!

Hey, sorry to keep you waiting.

You are late, Sei.

How long must you keep me waiting to be satisfied?

Sowwy...

Eriko's still not here?

I tried calling her, but she said she isn't coming.

On a date?

I don't think so.

She said it wouldn't be fair to Yoshino-chan if she were to show up too frequently.

Does Eriko visit the high school that often?

No, not that I'd heard...

Stop! What are you doing?

You okay?

Please let me go!

I want to get in, no matter what!

Who in the world are you?

Addressing her like that is discourteous.

We have no intention of doing anything to you.

We just came to advise you that you won't be able to climb the fence.

Sei.

Well then, good-bye.

Mm, still going strong.

Please wait!

Um, I'm related to one of the students here.

Related? Then where's your ticket?

You know that you can't get into Lillian's school festival...

...without a ticket, right?

If you forgot it,

you can just tell the reception desk the student's name and class...

The thing is, I don't know which class she's in.

What's your name?

Yuko.

My name is Hosokawa Yuko.

She reminds me of someone...

Wisteria Pine Festival Town

Wisteria Pine Festival Town It's a great success.

Wisteria Pine Festival Town

Wisteria Pine Festival Town Yup!

Wisteria Pine Festival Town

Excuse me for a minute, Yoshino-san.

What?

Father, this is my club's shop.

Oh, then I better go pay my respects.

Kanako-chan.

Yumi-sama...

You have an awful lot of tickets left over.

Oh, no...

Didn't you hand them out to your family members?

Yumi-sama.

Toko-chan.

Please excuse me. I will see you again later.

What?

Is something the matter?

Oh, no.

The Festival Town is getting a lot of business.

I'd like 2 tickets for oden, too.

Oh, certainly. One moment please.

I have to get back!

Oh, that's right.

Toko-chan, here.

Frankfurter

Frankfurter If you'd like, have something to eat.

Frankfurter

How much for these?

It's okay. They're on me.

I cannot allow that.

In situations like this, you could just say,

"Thank you for the food."

But there is no reason for you to treat me.

Reason...

The reason is... um...

As thanks for helping out with the play, I guess?

As thanks?

Yes.

Also, I'm planning to go look at your class's exhibit later, too.

If you do, I will be your guide...

There you are, Yumi-san!

What?

Hurry, hurry! Over here!

Wh-What?! Hurry, hurry! Over here!

Like you're offering that container of oden towards the camera.

Okay, eyes over here!

Okay!

Yumi-san, stand there.

Uh, Yoshino-san, what about those customers?

Mami-san took charge of them all.

Here, hold this frankfurter!

Pose side by side now.

O-Okay...

Oh, come on! Smile like you mean it!

What?

Okay, we got it.

Oh! Shimako-san, you look great!

The Rosa Gigantea in a summer kimono is absolutely awesome!

Pardon?

One photo in front of the yo-yo fishing stall!

Sorry about this. We'd appreciate it.

They're going to print them in the Lillian Ledger.

They're the Photography Club and the school paper, after all.

They're probably going to be at it for the whole day today.

Oh!

Shoot...

If it's the first-year girl with the ringlets,

she wandered off somewhere.

She came over earlier and said she'd excuse herself since you were busy.

I see. Thank you.

And she also said, "Thank you for the food."

What?

Let's see... My dear sister is on duty at her class right now, so...

I'll go look at exhibits until she's off duty...

...and then I suppose we'll be able to go watch Toko-chan's play together.

Ow...

I'm sorry! Are you hurt at all?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I was in such a hurry.

It's all right.

More importantly, what about you?

Oh, please don't mind me.

Oh, um, is there a phone (odenwa)?

Oden?

For oden (oden wa), go a little ways after turning there.

Thank you very much.

Yumi-chan.

Oh! Yoko-sama! Sei-sama!

It has been a long time.

I got it! I knew she reminded me of someone,

but it was Yumi-chan that Yuko-chan reminded me of.

Not her looks, but her aura.

Oh!

Yuko-chan?

We picked her up on the street before we came in.

But she got away when we let her out of our sight for just a bit.

Was it a cat... that reminded you of me?

Yumi-chan, want to go to Sachiko's class?

Oh, I will show you the way.

This way.

The phone (odenwa)...

Could it be?!

What is it?

Oh, no, it is nothing!

Year 3, Pine Class

She isn't here?

But she's supposed to be on duty...

Yes, she went to the nurse's office.

What?!

It wasn't because she felt ill.

She was asked to come by Eiko-sensei.

I see...

Then, shall we wait until she returns?

Tasty Physical Fitness Assessment

I see...

You can get hard candy by doing the vertical jump...

...and chocolate by doing the side-step test.

Yumi-chan, let's race.

All right.

Ready!

Kanako-chan?

Oh, Yumi-sama!

Please let me join you!

Wh-What's wrong?

I am being pursued!

How would you like to try the Tasty Physical Fitness Assessment?!

Please, pretend like nothing is wrong! How would you like to try the Tasty Physical Fitness Assessment?!

You can get in right away!

Phone...

Yuko-chan...

You were a great help.

What happened?

I ran into someone I did not want to see.

What?

And when I started to run, she came after me, so...

Oh, Sachiko.

You have visitors.

Onee-sama...

Onee-sama...

Come with me for a moment.

What? Where to?

The nurse's office.

Why?

I will tell you on the way.

Yumi, you come along, too.

What?

Onee-sama...

You seem busy.

I'm sorry.

I know you went out of your way to come today.

Don't mind us.

We have something we have to take care of too, so let us meet again later.

The teacher at the nurse's office summoned me earlier.

She said my father was here.

But my father went to New York on business yesterday.

I imagined it was some kind of mistake,

but I still went to see, just in case.

As I had thought, it was someone else.

The man was not my father.

Then, why were you summoned?

He had a ticket with my name on it.

That must be why the teacher mistook him.

One of your tickets...

It seems Suguru-san gave it to him.

Kashiwagi-san did?

Yes. The man was apparently at a loss,

because he could not enter the school festival.

It seems he came from Niigata to see his daughter.

Kanako-chan?

You don't mean?!

Yes, the man inside was Kanako-chan's father.

Nurse's Office

Nurse's Office If you are inclined to see him, go in of your own free will.

Nurse's Office

Nurse's Office I will not force you.

Nurse's Office

Nurse's Office But there is the possibility that you may never see him again.

But there is the possibility that you may never see him again.

It will be too late...

...if you come to regret that you did not say something to him now.

Is my father ill in some way?

It seems he came to the nurse's office looking very pale.

Asking to borrow one of the beds.

Father!

I didn't lie, you know.

Kanako...

Father...

You're despicable, Father!

It's all your fault, Father!

Your divorce with Mother!

The fact that I can't say my lines properly!

And Yuko-senpai, too!

You ruined Yuko-senpai's life!

You're wrong.

It's not your father's fault.

Yuko-senpai...

"Yuko-senpai"?

Onee-sama...

I've finally found you.

I've wanted to talk to you for a long time.

But you've been avoiding me, so...

After I got into high school, I was injured in a car accident...

...and my doctor told me I should quit basketball.

I didn't know what to do and then I remembered Coach Hosokawa.

Long ago, he had to retire from the game due to bad health...

...and I thought he would understand how I felt.

The two of us started meeting up after that.

And foolish me,

I fell in love with your father.

Fell... in love?

I should have told you upfront instead of running away.

Even if you wouldn't forgive me, even if you hated me...

I fell in love with your father,

because he's a wonderful man.

I've made you suffer because of me.

I'm sorry, Kanako.

Yuko-senpai...

I knew it, too!

That my father granted my mother's wish to continue working.

That the reason he left was because of the stress from Mother's work...

...and it was something they had discussed with each other.

Yuko-senpai...

Kanako...

The reason Kanako-chan hated men was because...

...she thought her father had ruined her favorite upperclassman's life...

...and she found that unforgivable.

Kanako...

Kanako-chan will be fine now, right?

We were changing her diaper in here earlier.

Then, the reason you came to the nurse's office was...

She's your little sister, Kanako.

Her name is Chikako.

My... little sister?

Try holding her.

What?

Case closed!

Now, shall we go wander around?

Yes, since it's not even 1:30 yet.

Oh, no! "Little Women"!

Go on ahead!

Right!

Why is she in such a rush?

A first-year student who helps out with the Yamayuri Council...

...is appearing in the Drama Club's play.

Oh, that electric drill, huh?

This thing deserves to get burned!

Amy!

Toko-chan's Amy was spirited and wonderful.

How could you do that?!

How could you do that?! Impudent at times, stubborn at others...

This is a precious book! Impudent at times, stubborn at others...

This is a precious book!

She put in an appealing performance playing adorable Amy.

Lillian School Festival Theater Related Personnel Greenroom

Onee-sama?

Would it be all right if I were a bit late arriving backstage?

That would be fine.

Thank you very much.

Toko-chan, you were great.

This, from the person who came late.

Oh, you noticed?

But I got here before you spoke your first lines.

I am going to change, so please get out of my way.

What is it?

So, Toko-chan, once you take that off,

are you going to get straight into your "Changelings" costume?

Of course...

Then how about you just go out looking like that?

Huh?

You promised me, remember?

That you'd be my guide?

N-Now?

Yup!

Yumi-san...

And Toko-chan, too?

Hurry, Toko-chan!

That stupid promise...

No problem!

No problem! The Yamayuri version of "The Changelings"...

Sister! The Yamayuri version of "The Changelings"...

The Yamayuri version of "The Changelings"...

...began with a huge roar of laughter.

Look up. ...began with a huge roar of laughter.

Yes, my lord. Yes, my lord.

I am such a fortunate man.

My two wives have borne me a son and a daughter.

M-My dear children both take after their mothers and are beautiful.

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Kanako-chan was still unable to deliver her lines smoothly,

but it seemed like her expression had softened a little compared to before.

You spend the closing party night alone every year, don't you?

And you come find me every year, don't you, Onee-sama?

Am I disturbing you?

Not at all.

Yumi.

Y-Yes?

Why don't we walk for a bit?

It will have been exactly one year since we became soeurs, won't it?

Yes.

You see, Yumi,

I had no intention of doing anything special tonight.

It's not that I had forgotten.

And it's different from your birthday or White Day,

when I had a hard time doing anything for you,

even as I felt like I ought to do something.

Do you know why?

Because to me,

it's not as if today alone is special.

I mean, you will still be my little sister tomorrow and the day after that.

Just as you have been and just as you will be from now on.

To me, today is not special in any way.

Just an ordinary day, the same as yesterday.

Do you understand what I am saying?

My eyes have opened to the truth and tears have come out.

How silly of you.

Yumi.

Find a little sister.

What?

My dear sister is a liar.

For she said it was an ordinary day with nothing special about it,

but on this day, one year since we became soeurs,

she gave me an assignment that was far from easy.

A winterscape where even... Machi no irodori sae doko

...the town's colors seem forlorn somehow to naku samishige na fuyu no keshiki

I think of you, turning your back on me... Senaka mise kaketeitta

...and running off anata o omou

There's a clear square pane... Futari no aida ni wa

...between the two of us toumei na shikakkei

It's misted over right now... Ima wa kasunderu

...with the crystals of sighs tame-iki no kesshou de

Window glass, window glass Mado garasu mado garasu

It's clouded and I can't see you Kumottete anata ga mienai no

Even though I know that you're there Soko ni iru koto wa wakatteiru no ni

Are you smiling? Are you crying? Waratteru naiteru no

I don't even care if you're frowning, let me see you Shikamettsura demo ii kara misete

Wipe the glass from your side, too Sochira no hou kara mo garasu o fuite
