"Along the Romulus and Remus border..." "A battle is taking place between their Otomes?" "You're the ones who invaded our borders first!" "That's ridiculous!" "Our Lutesia border police were attacked first!" "That's rubbish!" "This is exactly why a nation led by an evil matriarchal family cannot be trusted!" "Look who's talking!" "You're descendants of exiles!" "but I couldn't help being drawn into your fiery argument." "it's burning me up." "Although this skirmish did develop into a clash between Otomes I understand there were no fatalities on either side." "I suggest the two sides take a moment to calm down." "Headmistress?" "This is the first time in a half-century that two Meisters have fought each other." "If this situation escalates it would cause panic among the people." "Therefore it is this Council's responsibility to prevent that from happening." "I hope the two of you understand the severity of the situation." "Is this the beginning?" "763)}Otome's {\3cHD90AF9}S.O.S." "Did you hear?" "About what happened in Lutesia?" "right?" "But they're holding emergency deliberations." "Everyone's talking about those rumors." "Ers... what are you doing?" "!" "No!" "Sorry!" "Did you hear anything about Lutesia from Major wang?" "No." "That matter is none of my business." "I feel sorry for those two." "and Miya is from Remus." "It must be extremely hard on them." "Yayoi." "stop apologizing to me like that." "Doing that makes it seem like..." "There's tension between Cardair and Florince ever since that incident with Big Sister Akane." "then this cosmetics class may be of no use to us." "everyone?" "If one baseless rumor is going to affect you this way you'll never amount to much of an Otome." "right?" "I come from Lutesia." "And to think two Big Sister Meisters would fight there... is that going to change anything?" "But I..." "Becoming an Otome is not only about becoming graceful and respected." "As Otome you will have to risk your life in battle as you protect your Master's life and nation's destiny." "You all entered this academy with this understanding." "There is no time for crying." "Coming up is the promotion examination followed by graduation and the commemorative dance battle between representatives from the preparatory class and the graduating class." "then keep your head up." "This must feel awkward for you." "Since you proclaimed to Miss Maria that you were going to prevent wars." "right?" "There's no reason to get all serious about it." "Isn't this sort of thing common?" "You make it sound so trivial!" "My country and Yayoi's could go to war!" "You have the nerve to say such things!" "Prevent wars?" "Then do something to stop this right now!" "when I entered Garderobe I thought my future would be stable even if I didn't become a Meister." "So why?" "why must things turn out this way?" "!" "Someone do something about it!" "Um... ah..." "Calm down." "okay?" "Miya." "but don't worry about it too much." "She's right." "You can't let this bother you." "This time Arika is the one to blame." "Nina." "It was only a border dispute." "But it escalated into a battle between Meister Otomes." "You shouldn't casually compare it to some street fight." "you're always a little strange but you're acting especially weird lately." "what's happened?" "N-Nothing." "Really?" "Okay then." "the instigator..." "That's not the issue!" "what we need to determine is who is at fault!" "It's clear who's at fault!" "very clear!" "we will take a recess!" "Really." "This is all because they used the Kings' Otomes for a minor conflict." "anyway?" "Haven't you answered that with your performances over the past half-century?" "Otomes are strong and beautiful but in no way should they be regarded as a weapon." "You seem rather calm." "I hope Artai has nothing to do with this incident." "Of course not." "There are no benefits for us to be involved in such a conflict." "I didn't send Nao and Nina to this academy so they could fight for real." "Aren't you forgetting someone else?" "I have no idea who you're talking about." "isn't it?" "as planned?" "Of course." "Even at times like these... they must understand who they are." "Am I wrong?" "huh?" "You sure are harsh." "Brigadier!" "Brigadier!" "Brigadier Armitage!" "Shut up!" "I have to go teach them a lesson!" "Haruka?" "To Lutesia!" "but those stupid girls!" "I'll put them in their place and spank them on the butt!" "If you do that then our country will end up in a war too." "sure!" "war or whatever!" "Bring it on!" "Huh?" "Right?" "You can't just spank an Otome on her butt as you please." "Then where can I spank them?" "Haruka." "Since they are brother nations that once had the same king discord between Romulus and Remus runs deep." "Now should we look at this as an opportunity or a disaster?" "That's the issue here." "Damn the Aswald." "they proved to be worthless." "the situation would be different." "Miss Mashiro." "The Department of lnterior Affairs has requested you attend the emergency policy meeting." "why must I deal with the conflicts of other nations?" "However... you could at least go and inspect the castle." "It's unhealthy to stay indoors for so long." "Shut up and get out!" "anyway!" "Tell the Ministers to do what they want!" "anyway." "This was taken at Lutesia a few days ago." "It's the field test we conducted near the Romulus-Remus border." "so that's the technology from before the lmmigration Era." "what a marvelous bunch of monsters." "can't we?" "Anytime." "But Your Highness... when the time comes please do not forget what you promised me." "I know." "My letter should've reached Sergay by now." "I've told him everything about this upcoming plan." "The fun is about to begin." "Antsy?" "I guess it's too soon for you to be thinking about that." "growing girl Antsy." "I'm going to become an Otome!" "You can count on it!" "relinquish a woman's happiness and devote your life to your master." "That is what it means to become an Otome." "Are you prepared for that?" "Yes." "That's enough." "Only they can decide what's most important for themselves." "I will definitely become one..." "Definitely become... an Otome." "No." "I don't want this." "what's wrong with me?" "aren't you?" "That's not true." "with Major wang." "No." "I'm not." "This isn't how it should be." "This isn't like me." "Grandma never taught me about this." "I don't want this." "I'm scared." "Let me tell of an old story" "Of a land that waits to wake..." "Ersty." "I've owed you since the survival test." "so I remembered it." "but it was like cuddling in the arms of my mom." "right?" "I noticed it some time ago." "But because you were trying to hide it I never mentioned it." "it's called the Blue Sky Sapphire." "I knew it!" "That belonged to the late King of windbloom's Otome... right?" "wait!" "what?" "!" "you know about this gemstone?" "!" "she's a really famous Otome." "Please!" "Tell me about her!" "Sure." "Big Sister Lena was..." "Shizuru." "but I'm not Shizuru." "Yohko..." "I just..." "It's all right." "I understand." "I see." "As expected." "but made no progress." "what's your impression?" "I have no idea." "Perhaps both sides are right." "I cannot rule out the possibility of the involvement of a third party." "or maybe..." "Aswald." "what did this?" "A Slave." "They're unlike the replicated Slaves we've seen before." "They're a lot more like a Child." "I have a habit of sneaking up behind people but this is the first time anyone's sneaked up on me." "who are you?" "The Black Power that should've been sealed has begun to move." "Bewitching Smile Amethyst." "Just like that leader of Aswald." "This world is still full of mysteries." "Natsuki..." "Have you calmed down?" "I'm all right now." "Is that so?" "Thank goodness." "You know what?" "Miya." "I have a favor to ask of you." "It's rare seeing you drink like this." "I found one." "right?" "I found a surviving attendant who knows about the incident." "Arika's awfully late." "She's always making me worry like this." "Nina you wouldn't have worried about Arika one bit." "N-Not really." "It's not like I'm..." "It's been a while since it was just us two so why don't we cuddle?" "Nina." "Erstin." "Hey!" "Nina." "stop that!" "Big Sister Lena became a Meister after graduating the academy with record-breaking marks." "She served the Royal Family of Windbloom and inherited Windbloom's Blue Sky Sapphire." "I believe." "But one day she suddenly decided to take off that gemstone." "You mean..." "She did that to be with the one she loved." "So where is she now?" "Fifteen years ago there was an incident where rebels invaded the castle." "who was born about the same time as Miss Mashiro." "And the two of them went missing." "Miss Maria told us this story once soon after we entered this school." "She fulfilled her dreams and gained love." "As an Otome... she lived a very full life." "Miss Maria said she wasn't able to do that." "Both love and dreams." "Go find out for yourself!" "Grandma used to tell me." "keep moving forward." "middle-aged jerk." "But..." "That's why I have to see if these are my true feelings." "I never expected to find her in a place like this." "People tend to overlook the simplest spots." "shouldn't you be sending a reply soon?" "didn't you?" "I don't need you pressuring me about it." "It's just that you seem so happy whenever you're sending or receiving those letters." "That's work." "Giving her a dress on her birthday is work?" "That was a surprise." "Coming from the guy who was known as the North Hound." "Shut up." "has it been revived?" "She's in there." "I'll be going now." "what the heck is this?" "you're helpless." "anyway?" "!" "They're white!" "and pretty!" "right?" "Yeah..." "Make her lose her privilege to become an Otome." "what did you say?" "It's true." "There's no mistake." "Miss Lena handed her own child to my colleague." "the Blue Sky Sapphire... and then she left the castle." "That means..." "The one with the Blue Sky Sapphire is the true Queen of windbloom." "it's showtime." "Don't forget the camera." "we'll get rich off these pictures." "we're having an early Otome Graduation Ceremony." "No!" "No!" "{\3cHD90AF9}Crying." "so you should all be careful." "they would.." "what?" "!" "and pretty." "It's not right to doubt or lie to others." "I think women are scarier."
