My heart swings like a pendulum...

It flutters to the right and feels sadness to the left

It's very enchanting, but sad at the moment.

Let's keep staring at each other!

Girlhood, times of innocence, and adolescence...

Those words are commonly used.

Somebody, understand my frustrations!

Maze, you can be in a mature relationship with childlike feelings.

Yes, this passion is somewhat familiar.

I have dreams that go beyond my admiration.

That's why I call out for love, even though I'm just a young girl.

I know... I know I'm not the only one.

Everyone is feeling shy and it's unstoppable...

What makes me want to see you?

When summer school is over...

...it's time for summer vacation.

Students in Strawberry Hall will head back home...

...and the real break begins.

With nobody around...

...I have time to do whatever I want. Just for a few days.

Summertime

Sister Nagisa...

Even if you go to a faraway place, please don't forget about me.

Chiyo-chan.

Summer vacation is little over a month...

A month is just too long!

Chiyo-chan...

I don't want to go home!

Chiyo-chan, if you cry that much, your clothes are going to be ruined.

Hello.

Thank you for everything you did during my first semester.

Nagisa-san, Tamao-san. Take care.

You bet.

Good luck to you too.

Let's all meet again in the second semester.

Everyone's gone...

Yes.

Those two are not going home?

From what I heard...

...ever since they moved into Strawberry Hall 6 years ago...

...they have not gone home even once.

Really?

I'd go home in a hurry, if I get the chance to do so...

Your parents are still overseas?

Yeah.

They said they might be able to come back around New Year's...

By the way, how come you're not going home, Tamao-chan?

This Strawberry Hall is my home.

What?

This Strawberry Hall that you stay at...

This is what I call home.

I don't want to go anywhere else.

But you said during the summer, you need...

...to go back home and say hello to your relatives.

Yes.

I can't believe that my relatives would end up separating us.

T-Tamao-chan...

I'm worried.

What?

Something might happen to you while I'm away...

You're worrying too much.

No!

My intuition is right.

After the end of summer school, it seems like...

...Étoile-sama looks at you differently.

What?

Your heart-rate is going up!

What?

I feel like your temperature went up too.

I worry about you.

You shouldn't.

I'm going to cancel.

What?

I'm not going home.

You shouldn't do that, Tamao-chan.

Look.

Even Rokujyo-san is here as well so...

That's true, but...

She just looked at you, Nagisa-chan.

What? Really?

What does this mean?

Don't tell me Rokujyo-sama has feelings for you too...

Tamao-chan...

Huh?

Will you excuse us?

We need to have a word with Nagisa-san.

What?

Wha... What is this all about?

You have some business with my Nagisa-chan?

My Nagisa-chan?

Some business?

Special lesson?

Yes.

Shizuma and I.

I must say Miyuki is very strict.

You're a Miator student.

You should be passing French with flying colors.

French...

But I'm on summer vacation...

Please help her, Rokujyo-sama!

What?

Then I could go home without worrying about her.

Please teach her lots and lots of French while I'm away.

Sure...

These two are going to help you learn better French.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you.

Tamao-chan. Come back soon.

You hate studying that much?

But it's my summer vacation...

I know.

What?

Tamao-chan?

A good-luck charm.

Merci, mais je peux me débrouiller toute seule.

Merci, mais je peux me débrouiller toute.

No, that's not it.

Toute seule.

Toute seule.

Well, that part... The noun is feminine so...

Librairie.

Let's see...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

We're just getting started.

I want to go to a world where there's no French.

That kind of world doesn't exist.

I can't wait till high school is over.

Gosh.

What?

Shizuma and I won't be around next year.

You're going to graduate in 3 years too.

But I have 3 more years.

Only 3 years!

3 years is like...

Let's take a break.

Rokujyo-san seemed mad for some reason.

Umm... Is something wrong?

I'm trying to borrow a bucket.

Well, it's right there.

Right.

There it is.

Thanks.

What?

Amane-san.

What is it?

I have to say I was surprised.

You didn't look like Ootori senpai at first.

You can call me Amane.

I guess I looked a bit rough.

I thought no one was around so...

By the way, aren't you going home, Amane-san?

I'm not going home.

If I go home, I'll just worry about this horse.

I just let the other members of the team go home and I stay behind.

I feel more comfortable that way.

Wow, so cool...

Is there anything else you need help with?

Well...

But don't you have errands to run?

I've been studying since the morning...

...so I wanted to do something else for a change.

She had a very scary look on her face.

I see. So Rokujyo-san is teaching you...

I think she just got tired of me since I'm such a bad learner.

No. That's not true.

What?

Most students know where she comes from.

When she graduates from this place, she is to be married at once.

Her fiancé has already been decided from birth.

I see.

That's the kind of person she is.

She's always had profound feelings of sadness.

You're a strange girl.

What?

Nagisa-kun!

Ouch...

Are you okay?

Yes, I'll be fine.

Sorry about that.

Huh?

I wonder why...

All the Miator students that I know...

...are feeling cramped like birds trapped in a cage.

But somehow, you're different from the others.

You're a strange girl indeed.

A-Amane-san?

Shizuma-sama! Étoile-sama!

Your break is over.

I'm sorry. I'll head back right away.

Étoile-sama...

Prince of Spica...

Don't you need to choose your...

...princess from one of the Spica students?

I was just...

Prince, huh?

I guess I'm also a bird trapped in a cage...

Ton grand-père et moi.

Miyuki apologized to me before.

She said she went too far.

No, it's my fault too...

Ton grand-père et moi.

Ton grand-père et moi. Did she come just to see me earlier?

Did she come just to see me earlier?

It's just the two of us here now.

My heart is beating fast.

Nagisa?

Yes!

Where are you writing?

What?

I'm sorry!

I'm finally done.

Good job.

Umm...

Aren't you going to check if the answers are right?

Miyuki is going to check it later on tonight.

You two get along very well.

We were in the same room ever since we came into the dormitory.

We're inseparable now.

I see.

You did really good today.

I'll take you to a festival as a reward.

What? A festival?

So those are the fireworks from the festival...

We can't even hear the sounds.

Did I disappoint you?

Not at all...

She was right after all.

We're just like birds trapped in a cage.

We're trapped behind these bars and looking at...

...small fireworks from a distance.

But it's better than watching it by myself.

What?

I don't know why.

I was always feeling sad during summer school.

Even though I was with everyone.

I was able to see a beautiful shooting star as well...

But I felt I was all alone...

I was just sad and...

I just heard a loud bang.

Me too.

Ah, so you heard it too?

No...

What?

You were feeling sad too?

Do you know why I felt that way?

Have you felt that way with someone?

No...

I'll show you.

What is this?

Tamao-chan, what is this?

Good-luck charm.

This is to help you study better.

It's to help me get back to you soon.

Also...

Please be careful.

Okay.

Well, I should get going.

It's a good-luck charm. Tamao-chan gave it to me.

Tamao Suzumi?

Don't!

Shizuma-sama!

Shizuma-sama!

I...

What am I doing?

I'll leave the towel and your clothes here.

Yes.

What am I doing?

It's the first time I've been inside Shizuma-sama's room.

That's right. I should go home...

When Shizuma-sama comes out...

...I have to thank her and go home.

Roomkeeper?

The left one was during the first year.

The right one was from the second year.

I was a roomkeeper for the previous Étoile-sama during my second year.

Previous?

You think I was an Étoile for all this time?

So it was your first time.

But it wasn't my first time...

But...

...you might be my last.

Nagisa.

Nagisa...

Shizuma...

Umm...

Thank you for a great time today.

Nagisa-san?

Shizuma...

I'm finally back.

Tamao-chan.

Long time no see, Nagisa-chan.

Oh, stop it.

You just went back home yesterday. It's only been a day.

You mean already a day.

You can't imagine how long it was...

Huh?

Where did you get those clothes?

I'm sorry, Tamao-chan.

I seem to have lost it.

Where?

Sorry... I can't remember.

I'm sorry.

Nagisa-chan.

You see, Tamao-chan...

I feel sad. I feel sad.

That's what my heart was feeling.

This isn't good. I'm dreaming about...

...this deep guilt that is taken away from me.

Please give me eternity.

I bite my finger and wait for seduction.

My glass doll.

I want to break apart inside your arms.

You are my destiny.

Touching you gently is not enough.

I want to cry and want you to cry as well.

Kiss my tears.

Door opens quietly, and that is our secret.

The long summer vacation is over and...

...the new semester is about to begin.

What? Summer vacation ended already?

I didn't get a chance to have fun!

Time goes by when you're having fun.

It can't be! I didn't even finish my homework!

What should I do about my daily journal? Tamao-chan, let me copy yours!

We didn't have that kind of homework, Nagisa-chan.

On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "The Roar of the Sea."

What? We're going to the beach, even though summer is over?
