"There's a lot more of them lately." "It's good they're still in their infancy." "Jabbars this size are useful." "Everyone will be happy." "What's this side dish?" "A spy?" "She's still breathing." "Even so we have to kill anyone who comes near the village." "Huh?" "Look at this." "We can make new weapons from this." "We'll have a feast tomorrow." "The liver is especially nutritious." "Let's take some to Luo later." "Yeah." "She's a Master of a gem?" "Yes." "A Meister Gem." "That's why we brought her back with us." "What's the name of the stone?" "The Blue Sky Sapphire." "Then this girl..." "Mashiro?" "759)}Fateful {\3cHD90AF9}17-year-old{\3cHC50039\fnArial} ( ^ ^ ;)" "How long do you people plan on continuing this?" "This is a clear attack on the sovereignty of Garderobe." "Why is that?" "We're letting you hold classes." "I don't see any problems." "Right?" "the Bewitching Smile Amethyst and you've let fully armed soldiers set foot in this hallowed institution." "How is that normal?" "It's for security." "Nothing more." "you teachers and students can no longer use the power of the Otome." "And you're unable to detect where the Schwarz are hiding." "a very frightening thought." "You people..." "Miss Maria." "Nina Wang." "There is much more you still need to learn." "you've gone ahead and used that gem." "This is what I want..." "Grand Duke Nagi." "Someday you'll regret it." "scary." "But you really surprised me." "I never expected you to have that gem." "right?" "you have my word...." "I'll turn your dreams into reality." "As long as you don't betray me." "Nina." "sir." "Good answer." "Now once we find Mashiro and Arika we'll have the real trump cards." "Mikoto!" "Where am I?" "Mashiro!" "You're awake." "Thank goodness." "They said you almost became human jerky." "Arika." "Want some water?" "You..." "What?" "I see you're awake." "This really is a coincidence." "This is the Aswald's village?" "!" "Yup!" "It's a pretty cool place." "Why are you here?" "Mashiro." "Apparently I was lying in the desert with Mikoto." "cursed guys?" "Watch your language!" "Our rule is to kill anyone that comes near our village." "Don't forget that your life is in our hands." "Queen Mashiro." "Queen." "I'm no longer..." "I'm not the Queen." "You're the real Princess." "Arika?" "That's a bunch of lies." "Then why..." "It can't be true." "He's just a big liar." "Arika." "Yes?" "Tell the people outside to prepare something for her to eat." "Leader!" "Mashiro." "Arika." "She's a lot better now." "she was like a toy doll." "She wouldn't respond to anything we did." "what in the world happened?" "I see." "What are you guys planning to do with Arika?" "Why did you save her?" "I understand you are her Master." "Are you really not Windbloom's Queen?" "I don't know." "Those things don't matter anymore." "I'd have to agree that you don't have the traits of a Queen." "You're just a very fortunate child." "I have nothing left!" "old woman!" "You're one to talk." "You don't know what it's like to really lose everything." "What did you say?" "!" "Let me correct you on one thing." "I'm only seventeen." "Antsy?" "Antsy." "Don't call me Antsy!" "But you really look like one." "let's go play." "let's play!" "Hey!" "Sorry!" "Don't help him!" "get up on your own." "All right!" "Leader." "Luo." "Leader!" "Me too!" "Me too!" "Oh my." "Everyone really loves her." "after all." "Is that woman the Queen of Aswald?" "Queen?" "she did inherit the bloodline of the previous leader." "But Midori earned the trust of the people on her own." "Of course she paid a price for it." "Arika." "I need to talk with you." "Come see me later." "Are we really doing this?" "right?" "but the capital of Aries is still a long way." "Don't tell me you think you can't do it." "Shut up!" "I can get a car or two to stop for us without any problem!" "Then why don't you prove it?" "You think that will get them to stop?" "like this." "Why would I do something so embarrassing?" "All right!" "damn you!" "Oh boy." "We're the Republic of Aries border police." "You're under arrest for indecent exposure and disturbing the peace." "Big Sister Shizuru." "For my sake..." "I will get you out of there." "Nina!" "Erstin and Arika have been missing since the day of the graduation dance battle!" "Nina!" "Do you know anything about it?" "Excuse me." "Drive." "It's getting lonely around here." "those girls should be fine." "Now then..." "I think it would be better if we returned to the academy." "Quiet!" "Now listen up." "The graduation dance battle and the Gem Ascension Ceremony the greatest stage in my life just went up in flames." "I won't pretend that nothing happened!" "Everyone is so mean." "I thought I could finally become a Meister." "Big Sister Shiho." "Spirals." "Yes?" "Spirals!" "I'll give them maki-makis." "I'll give them all maki-makis!" "maki-makis to them all!" "Don't just stand there!" "Help me with the maki-makis!" "Red maki-maki..." "Blue maki-maki... yellow maki-maki... yellow maki-maki." "how did you get that gemstone?" "This?" "Grandma told me that it's a memento of my mother." "That's why Lena might be my mother." "she is my mother!" "But you're... that's a lie." "you have a connection with the Blue Sky Sapphire." "we owe you an apology." "An apology for what?" "it's fifteen years ago by now." "It happened when we stormed Fuka Palace." "The previous leader was still in power then." "We were after something that was hidden underneath the castle and cooperated with Schwarz in an invasion." "The Minister of the lnterior at the time led us in." "He wanted to assassinate the king." "The Minister?" "In the ensuing battle I fought the Blue Sky Sapphire and killed her with my own hands." "Even though she had lost her powers through childbirth she displayed her loyalty to the king and fought me bravely." "Until the very end." "But why give us an apology now?" "Don't be mistaken." "We also risked our lives back then." "The strong survive and the weak perish." "It's as simple as that." "Then why?" "!" "A fight is sacred to the Aswald." "If fate decides one's life should end in a battle... even those of an enemy." "But we weren't able to protect her remains." "that conniving bastard." "We never did trust those people to begin with... we completely severed ties with Schwarz." "Why would those people do such thing?" "do you know how the Gems and nanomachines are made?" "Fumi Himeno." "Her body still sleeps inside the tomb beneath the mausoleum." "She is the Master of the students and Five Pillars." "And also the womb which gives birth to the Coral and Pearl Gems." "the body of an Otome who has given birth to a child is needed." "That's probably what went through Smith's mind." "then he should be able... a new Master." "A new Otome Predecessor to challenge the present Predecessor." "No way." "take a look at this." "Is it done?" "Yes." "The data collected by the Garderobe Research Department certainly came in handy." "Midori." "Reito." "All right." "Why don't we get the Garderobe girls to help us out?" "Now whoever wants to be... even those who don't want to can be an Otome." "Your Highness!" "let's get right on it." "Can you take charge and gather the candidates?" "sir?" "Yep." "Then have those girls find Mashiro..." "Please wait a moment!" "Sergay." "You're feeling better already?" "Thanks to you." "what does a traitor like you want from me?" "Nina is still a student so there's a chance she could make errors in judgment." "please put me in charge." "You sure are kind." "then." "Consider this your chance to reclaim your reputation." "sir." "understand?" "Of course." "Father." "flourishing and beautiful." "But it became a wasteland during the War of the Twelve kings... the power of science." "the Black Valley disappeared overnight because of a malfunctioning weapon." "our so-called curse." "we Aswald have been regarded as the cursed tribe." "we've been hated and oppressed." "right?" "The boy with the crutches." "He's already sick and won't live much longer." "We were the same." "We fell sick at a young age but we used the remaining powers of science to become cyborgs." "if only temporarily." "The only way to cure this sickness is with the help of Garderobe's nanomachine technology." "and I'm as good as dead now." "This REM." "This jewel was created by analyzing a Gem." "It has allowed me to live to this day." "That's why I'm seventeen forever." "It's ironic." "We fall dead because of the power of science and now we need science to cure us." "this is no good." "Since it's an imitation it's unstable and we'll never know when the nanomachines will malfunction." "That's why we must obtain it." "We must obtain all the knowledge and power humanity created and Garderobe sealed." "didn't you say so yourself?" "everyone would live happily." "And then  there would be no more wars." "we need every person and every great power we can get on our side." "please lend us your power." "We need the power of the Blue Sky Sapphire!" "The power of a Meister Otome!" "No." "Arika?" "I don't want to." "I don't want this anymore!" "I don't want to become an Otome!" "I'll never use Otome powers again!" "Arika!" "Arika!" "we've received mail from Cardair." "wait!" "I don't want this anymore!" "Arika!" "get her!" "Arika." "Arika?" "Arika." "759)\3cHD90AF9}Don't Call {\3cHC50039}Me Neena" "Leader?" "I told you." "I'm seventeen years old." "But..." "Arika!"
