Maria Watches Over Us

Spreading a blank map wide open Shiroi chizu ookiku hiroge

Let's go hide the treasure box Takara-bako kakushi ni ikou

No need for coats or even hats Kooto nante iranai boushi mo ne

Armed with just mechanical pencil lead Shaapen no shin dake haite

Round and round and round, Kururu kururu ku

Running through kakenukeru

Round and round and round, Kururu kururu ku

Our footprints mark the X ashiato wa batsu-jirushi da yo

Passing through the walls of the school Kousha no kabe tsuki-nuke

We can go anywhere, there will be a path there Dokonimo ikeru soko ni michi ga aru

The pleats of our skirts won't be disturbed Sukaato no hida midare-nai

If it's a secret journey Himitsu no tabi nara

Then, it was all...

...my misunderstanding?

Yumi-sama...

I don't know what I should do anymore.

Stay there and count to one-hundred.

One. Two. Three.

Four. Five. Six.

Seventy-five. Seventy-six.

Seventy-seven. Seventy-eight.

Seventy-nine. Eighty. Eighty-one.

Oh, sorry.

I did think that maybe I shouldn't disturb you, but...

Noriko!

Noriko!

What?

Noriko...

Noriko...

After that,

we parted at the station without Toko telling me anything.

Noriko... we parted at the station without Toko telling me anything.

Good morning.

Matsudaira

Good morning, Toko.

Good morning.

Toko, are you participating in the treasure hunt?

That is nothing you need to worry about, Noriko.

When the new week began, Toko was back to her usual self.

What in the world is Toko thinking?

To Be Held Today February 14

Year 3, Pine Class

Good day, Onee-sama.

Good day, Yumi.

Um...

Oh, wait.

What?

Let us go somewhere else.

You may not have noticed,

but my classmates were watching with great interest.

But seeing us together isn't a rare sight anymore.

It must be because...

...they learned that while I declined every last gift of chocolate last year,

I made an exception and accepted yours.

They want to see the look on my face when...

Please show it just to me,

the look on your face when you receive chocolates.

I feel like I demanded it.

Not at all.

Thank you.

Oh, my.

Are these...

...surprising chocolates?

This is Round Two.

They have a surprising amount of love in them.

Then...

This is from me.

These cannot be chocolates, can they?!

Last year, when you gave me chocolates,

it made me very happy.

So I wanted to return the favor this year.

Onee-sama...

Thank you very much!

Did you make these only for me?

What?

Oh, yes. Only for you.

Since I'm thinking of distancing myself from Toko-chan for a while.

I see.

There seems to be some sort of misunderstanding, but...

I have decided to wait...

...until Toko-chan feels inclined to speak to me of her own will.

What a terrible shame that is,

when these are so full of love.

P-Pardon me!

I'm sorry!

What are you apologizing for?

I mean, you were exchanging chocolates, weren't you?

We were, but it's not as if there's a problem with you seeing us.

The way Yumi-sama just reacted,

it was like a boy in middle school...

...accidentally looking in on a girl changing clothes.

No, in a sense,

what I just saw seemed more private than a girl changing clothes.

It was like they were in a world...

...that belonged only to the White Rose sisters.

Which means...

If other people saw my dear sister and me earlier...

Oh, that's so embarrassing!

Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

Yumi-san is... Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

...quite fun to observe, isn't she?

...quite fun to observe, isn't she? Oh, so embarrassing!

Oh, so embarrassing!

She is. Oh, so embarrassing!

Oh, so embarrassing!

You're late!

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm sure both the White Rose family and the Red Rose family...

...were quite busy today giving and receiving chocolates,

but unfortunately, in the Yellow Rose family,

the head of the household is away taking a college entrance exam!

Is Rei-sama not coming?

No idea.

She said something about coming after her exam was over,

but who knows?

Then, now that everyone's here...

We have the treasure hunt event after school today!

Shall we get on with the final meeting?

Valentine's Day Treasure Hunt Competition of the Future Lady Roses To Be Held Today

Are you running away?

I am talking about today's treasure hunt.

Will you be in it or not?

I do not understand what you mean.

Even if I were not to be in it,

I do not think that is cause to call it "running away."

Do you think so?

It looks to me like you are running away from Yumi.

Does the thought of facing Yumi frighten you?

What?

I imagine it does.

Because it frightens me, too.

Because she is so open and honest.

She probably has no such intention herself,

but when you are with her,

it brings you face-to-face with your weaknesses.

As if you're being reflected in a mirror, unclouded and undistorted.

Even the things you don't want to see or admit to.

Then why do you stay with her?

Is it not obvious?

It's because I love her.

Being forced to face my weaknesses is certainly hard,

but not being able to be with Yumi would be far harder.

You see, I have come to hope that if there are parts of me that I do not like,

I will be able to change those parts, being reflected in Yumi's mirror.

Why are you telling me this now?

I am no longer...

I have braced myself, knowing that Yumi will find a little sister someday.

What kind of girl will her little sister be?

Wondering about it has brought me both joy and sorrow.

But if it is a girl that Yumi chooses, then there can be no mistake.

I have believed that and I would still like to believe it.

But you won't even become my rival.

Even in today's treasure hunt...

I thought that if anyone were to be my rival, it could only be you,

but if you will not even stand at the starting line, it cannot be helped.

Please wait!

Oh-ho. There're quite a few people gathered out there.

Oh, there's Sachiko-sama!

And there are Yumi-san fans gradually closing in on her.

What a shocker!

Toko-chan's here!

What?!

Toko...

We will now begin...

the Treasure Hunt Competition of the Future Lady Roses!

Red, white, and yellow.

There is one of each card hidden somewhere within the region...

...marked by the diagonal lines on the map we passed out.

The first person to find a card...

...will be awarded the right to a half-day date with a future Lady Rose.

If no one has found one or more of the cards by the time limit of 4:40,

the privilege will go to the ladies who entered...

in the Absentee Chance by guessing the hiding places in advance.

Furthermore, Nijyo Noriko-san has declined to participate...

...and will be helping out as a member of the staff.

The Rosa Foetida, Hasekura Rei-sama,

submitted an Absentee Chance form the other day.

The Rosa Chinensis, who will be participating,

will be given the handicap of starting 5 minutes later.

This year, we also have some hints scattered here and there,

so please give it your best at finding them!

And now, please start!

Oh, ladies...

You don't need to keep me company during my handicap, you know.

Are we bothering you?

Not at all, but...

I know!

How would you like to join me for tea?

Hey, hey, isn't that a hint?

Ku

Ku White Rose...

Ku What could the "ku" mean?

There are apparently a total of seven letters...

...in the hint for Shimako-sama's card.

I heard the letter "ma" was on the executive committee member board!

Really?

They're going at it.

The hints for the white card are "ta," " ku," " ma," " shi," " no"?

They weren't all hiragana.

There was a picture of a rabbit, too.

What could it all mean?

They found another hint!

I wonder if somebody's already found Yoshino's card.

I pray...

...that no one finds it,

and the privilege comes to me among the Absentee Chance people.

That's...

Don't tell me...

Yoshino put it in a place like that?

Rei-sama! Yoshino put it in a place like that?

Rei-sama!

Are you done with today's exam?!

Might I have another cup?

Oh, certainly.

Thank you.

Why is Sachiko-sama drinking tea in this room forever...

...instead of looking for the card?!

I don't know.

Do you already have an idea of where Yumi-sama's card is, Rosa Chinensis?

No.

Then, have you given up on looking for it?

You are both wrong.

After all, I am participating in this event,

because I want to find Yumi's card.

But I have no hope of finding it if I just search randomly, right?

That is why I'm waiting here for now.

What are you waiting for?

For the Rosa Chinensis en bouton to make a mistake.

Pardon me.

Would it be all right if I excused myself for just a bit?

You're worried?

Go on.

Social Studies Prep Room

Blank Atlas of Japan

In grade school, we were given blank, new maps during social studies...

...and in that moment, I felt incredibly happy.

I'm sorry, but it's not there.

So it seems.

Blank maps?

Did something happen...

...between you and Yumi-sama that involved blank maps?

Yumi-sama must want you to find the card,

so she must have hidden it in a place only you two would know about.

Is that what you're thinking?

Are you laughing at how conceited I am?

That's not it.

You're being too simplistic in your assessment of Yumi-sama!

Yumi-sama cares very much about you,

but she isn't the sort of person who can see nothing but you!

I realize it now.

Right now,

it's probably like you're searching for Yumi-sama in a small room like this.

But no matter how you search,

you won't find Yumi-sama in a place like this!

Yumi-sama is far bigger than you think.

So big that she won't even fit in this room.

That's why you can't see it.

That's why you can't understand what's in Yumi-sama's heart!

That time...

You wanted to escape this cramped, suffocating situation.

That's how it seemed to me.

Was I wrong?!

If you stay cooped up in this cramped place alone forever,

you won't be able to reach Yumi-sama's heart!

At this rate, you'll never be able to find Yumi-sama's card!

You certainly said your fill there.

We're friends, after all.

I have to say even the things that I don't want to say to you.

I have returned.

Welcome back.

Was it cold? Your nose is red.

Oh, no. I am fine.

I see.

What about the cards?

None of the cards have been found yet.

Yes, I'm holding off on getting seconds.

Yumi-sama, do you think the red card will be found?

Who knows?

Could someone have finally found one?

Yoshino.

Rei-chan!

W-What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I brought this.

What?

What?! What?!

Rei-chan, you dummy!

You dummy!

You dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dummy!

You dummy!

Yoshino-san, you don't need to call her dumb so many times...

What's wrong with calling a dummy dumb?!

Show everyone what you brought!

Pardon me.

"Valentine's Chocolate Request Ticket"?!

What? What?

Once I get accepted to college,

I'm planning to make a cake for Yoshino first thing.

And as long as I'm making one,

I thought I'd ask for her input and make one incredible cake!

You're trying to get into college! You don't have to think about such things!

Still, being shown a yellow piece of paper in this situation,

it'll make us think it's the treasure hunt card.

Oh, if it's the card, I found it.

What?! What?!

But it'd be bad if someone without a right to it grabbed it, right?

I pretended not to see it.

Hi!

Chisato-san! What are you doing here?

Oh, am I not allowed to be here?

I have a good reason for it, you know.

Reason?

Yes.

I have the yellow card right here!

Why did Sachiko-sama choose her for her little sister?

Too nice.

What?

I hate the way that you can be so indulgent, Yumi-sama!

Let's go to the Drama Club now!

I'll go with you!

There you go again with that open, vulnerable look.

Toko-chan.

Toko-chan.

Toko-chan...

Won't you be my little sister?

If this is Christmas Eve charity,

please bestow it elsewhere.

Because she is so open and honest.

When you are with her, it brings you face-to-face with your weaknesses.

Why do you stay with her even then?

Is it not obvious?

It's because I love her.

Because... she loves her...

Because she loves her...

Social Studies Prep Room

Chisato-san found the yellow card two years in a row.

The white card and the red card have yet to be found.

Who will find my card?

My dear sister?

Or will it be...

Yumi.

Y-Yes?

Yumi-sama!

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
