Hey, have you heard the rumors?

What rumors?

About Saionji, you mean?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Senior High 2nd Year, Class A Kyoichi Saionji

Senior High 2nd Year, Class A Kyoichi Saionji So, is that what really happened?

Expelled What are you talking about now?

What are you talking about now?

It must have.

I thought I hadn't seen him all this month.

But why was he expelled?

Dunno.

Man, I really had a thing for him for a while there, too.

Really? What'd you see in that guy?

You're one to talk!

You used to buy pictures of him!

And you wanted a kiss from him, right?

Aw, cut it out! And you wanted a kiss from him, right?

Aw, cut it out!

Saionji really was cool, wasn't he?

I wonder where he is and how he's doing.

Really...

Welcome back.

I'm back...

Wakaba Flourishing

Did anyone come by?

No.

You're home late today.

Sorry about that. I had some shopping to do.

Here, I thought you could use this.

I'm sorry about this.

I promised I wouldn't stay long,

but I just keep hanging around.

Want some coffee?

After I was expelled, I had nowhere to go.

No friends, no money...

In the end, I had to crawl back to the academy...

...and you, as brave as Joan of Arc, chose to hide me.

But I can't keep imposing on you forever.

I'll leave before I cause any trouble for you.

No, wait! Saionji!

Don't worry about that!

I'm just happy to be of any help to you!

We'll get through this together!

And, somehow, we'll get you back into this school!

Oh, Wakaba...!

Now here, drink this and you'll feel better.

Oh, thank you, Wakaba!

Um, uh... I'm sorry, but...!

Oh, s-sorry!

That was terribly forward of me!

Um, your coffee's going to get cold.

Hey... If it's okay with you...

Um...

Would you-

Wakabal!

It's me! Open up!

J-Just a minute! It's me! Open up!

J-Just a minute!

What's wrong, Wakaba?

You busy?

Uh-uh, not really.

You're really sweating.

Oh, uh, I just don't feel that well.

Oh? Did I imagine it?

I thought I heard you talking in here.

You said "thank you" and "I'm sorry." What's going on?

Oh, uh, I was... praying! To God!

Praying?

Yeah, well, I'm a really religious person, you know?

Huh? You are?

Yeah, I think it's kinda freaky myself!

Coming in?

Uh, no thanks! Don't want to be a bother!

Saionji?!

This is my secret.

Mine and his.

A secret only we share!

Saioniji...

I've always, always dreamed about you...

But he was a distant dream that I thought I could never reach.

Yes...

When you think about it, I never could have had him.

"And so, I dance with you in my dreams, dear Saionji."

"You smile at me, gently."

"I guess I'm a fool..."

Oh, man!

But now...

But now!

Hey, Wakabal!

We're having a game! Come and watch!

Sorry! I'm busy now!

Good luck with your game!

Wakaba! Wanna play some volleyball?

Sorry! Gotta pass!

Huh? Again?

Oh, Wakaba!

We're doing an experiment in psychic phenomena...

Pass!

Now I'm special!

As long as I have this secret...

Yes! I'm special!

Welcome back.

You're late today.

I'm back...

Now, this part is going to be on the next test.

Okay, who wants to tackle this next problem?

Me!

Me! Me!

How about... Miss Tenjou!

Yes, ma'am!

Dear Saionji, here's 500 yen for lunch.

What's up?

Look, has something good happened to you lately?

Not really. Why?

Nothing. You just seem really cheerful lately.

And also...

Also what?

Well... You seem even prettier, too.

What? Oh, Utena, cut it out!

No, I mean it! I really mean it!

Oh, sure. You're just saying that!

I'm serious!

See ya, Utena! I'm serious!

See ya, Utena!

Oh? Your friend Wakaba?

Yeah. She seems really different.

Like a goddess whose name is recorded in the stars, you mean?

But why would she suddenly seem prettier?

You wouldn't understand, would you?

You're born for a special destiny...

There are special people in the world.

People who always draw attention. Yes...

You, for example.

Me...?

You see?

You're not even aware of it, are you?

That's the special nature you were born with.

Most people exist as one among many.

But, given the chance, they can shine as they never have before.

Carving Kit 500 yen

Hey... What are you making there?

It's secret.

All I've ever wanted was for Wakaba to be happy.

How much sugar do you want?

Here.

But it's also said...

...that the time a person can be special...

...doesn't last very long.

It's not finished, but...

...this is the only way I can thank you.

Thank you for your devotion...

No, it's...

This is... enough for me...

President Kiryuu's absent from school right now.

Nanami's trying hard to fill in for her brother...

...as student council president in the meantime.

Miki seems to be doing all he can to help her.

Miss Arisugawa is the same as always.

That's how things are going with the student council.

I see.

By the way...

Yes?

Look, uh...

You can ask me anything.

Right. Okay...

How is Anthy doing?

Himemiya, you mean...?

Well... I just figured I'd ask.

If Saionji gets back into school...

If he stops living with me,

he'll just forget all about me.

2,060 yen, please.

It's sunset already?

You seem to be living well, Kyoichi Saioniji.

You...! Mikage...!

It's been a while.

When did you...?! No... Why are you here?!

No secret in this academy, however small...

...escapes the notice of the Black Rose Circle.

Never mind that, Saioniji.

To think the former vice-president of the student council...

...is now living on the good graces of a female student.

I don't plan on wasting my life away here!

I'm going to return to the academy. Not just that... I'll return to the council!

Oh...? How, exactly?

Well...

How do you plan to free yourself from this purgatory?

Well...!

How about this?

What if we helped you a bit?

What?!

To be honest, we're worried about the school's future.

Talent like yours... shouldn't be wasted.

I see... All right.

And what do you want from me in return?

Good question...

There is only one thing of yours that I wish to have.

Don't worry. It's a trifle, really.

No matter what I do for him,

no matter how I think of him,

in the end, she's the only one he's ever cared about!

That girl, with a face that says she alone is special,

will steal everything away from me!

No matter what, I can never forgive her!

Whether it's with love or my studies,

all I'll ever be is a face in the crowd!

Special people may as well live in another world!

But... But as long as I had him...

As long as he lived with me,

I could be special, too!

A little longer and I would have changed myself forever.

But now...

But now, that girl...!

That girl...11!

I understand.

Your only choice is to revolutionize the world.

The path you must take has been prepared for you.

Come...

I never thought that thing is all he'd ask for in exchange for helping me.

Well, it's not like I could go on living here forever.

Okay, all systems go!

Kyoichi Saionji sets course for a new age of glory!

Launch!

Going somewhere?

Oh... It's you. I was wondering who it was.

I'm sorry for having been such a bother.

I'm going back to my old world.

Where's that hair clip?

Oh, that. I wasn't able to give it to you.

But don't worry.

I plan on buying you something expensive.

I'd like to mail it, if I can.

Is this address all right?

Never mind...

I have something even nicer now...

That's...!

Hmm, a sun shower...

To the Engaged: I will be waiting in the Dueling Arena at sunset.

Extra! Extra! Extra!

At last! At last!

At last, the rain's come!

When rain falls on a sunny day, we have to marry, fast!

For us fox girls... It's our custom!

You guys are lucky.

WE have to wait for it to snow on a sunny day...

...before we can get married!

For us rabbit girls... It's the law!

What's wrong with being single?

Himemiya... I can't...

I can't fight her...

I can't use the sword against a friend...

Against Wakaba...!

Take the sword! NOW!

That's right!

I'm going to kill her!

The girl who stole my Saionji from me!

Saionji?!

What happened?

Wakaba, you were shining so brightly! What happened?!

You wouldn't understand!

You aren't capable of understanding!

Hurry! Hurry, the sword...!

Oh, it's Saionji!

Saionji?

Vice-president of the student council...

...and captain of the kendo team. Kyoichi Saionji!

Oh, how pitiful...

Stop it, Wakaba! Stop it! Oh, how pitiful...

Wakabal! The man puts all his power...

The man puts all his power...

So, is Saionji going out with Himemiya or what? The man puts all his power...

No way! The man puts all his power...

No way! ...into his familiar, old sword,

Someone as cool as Saionji would never fall for a girl like that! ...into his familiar, old sword,

...into his familiar, old sword,

but his aging arms feel pity.

They're just together because they're both on the student council. but his aging arms feel pity.

but his aging arms feel pity.

Mistress Utena!

His aim falls short, the old man staggers...

You and that girl and the student council, too! His aim falls short, the old man staggers...

...and falls as the blade whiffs.

You all look down on me! ...and falls as the blade whiffs.

I know there's a lot about this I don't understand...

I know there's a lot about this I don't understand... Behold!

I know there's a lot about this I don't understand...

I know there's a lot about this I don't understand... White-haired old man!

You're one of my closest friends... Pyrrhus is completely still!

Pyrrhus is completely still!

Hold on... I'm going to save you...! Pyrrhus is completely still!

Pyrrhus is completely still!

But after a moment, Pyrrhus' animosity returns...

And his hot-tempered sword of blood...

...takes aim at the aging king,

and cuts him down.

I could get rid of him for being no help to us, but...

Saioniji...

We may as well keep the fool around here for some laughs.

Saionji is just beaming with satisfaction.

Pretty smug for a guy who was expelled, isn't he?

You think he intends to return to the student council?

He'd need to have a lot of nerve to try that!

But how did he manage to get his expulsion reversed?

I heard the Black Rose Circle had some influence in it.

I'm back.

Are you kidding me?!

What's wrong, Mistress Utena?

Lately, whenever Nanami sees me...

...she calls me a pest who's crowding Touga!

That's not very nice.

That group of girls who hang around with her...

...must practically be saints to put up with her personality!

Do you really believe that, Mistress Utena?
