"I knew the truth but I was too frightened to say anything." "I convinced myself that if the fake princess governed the country well then it would be an acceptable fate." "But my time is running out." "So I feel I can no longer hide the truth." "The holder of the Blue Sky Sapphire is the true Queen of Windbloom." "What a terrible joke this is." "it's showtime." "Don't forget the camera." "We'll get rich off these pictures." "We're having an early Otome Graduation Ceremony." "No!" "{\3cHD90AF9}Crying" "No... no... don't." "You be a good girl now." "Somebody..." "Sergay..." "Now then." "punks." "Sergay?" "Antsy?" "!" "You bastards!" "Damn it!" "Get him!" "The next shots will hit you." "Wait for me!" "Hello." "and we just love stripes." "right?" "Antsy?" "You must've been scared." "But it's all right now." "Miss Juliet!" "Can we give them the usual water punishment?" "This isn't their first crime." "So let's give them double the usual." "ma'am!" "let's get some money off the girl as well." "What's old man Sergay doing here?" "Arika?" "too." "The guy who used to be known as the North Hound." "Sergay." "Um..." "Thank you." "yeah." "It sounds kind of weird to hear something other than rude words from your mouth." "Am I always like that?" "I've only ever heard you complain." "You're teasing me." "That's more like the Antsy I know." "It's getting cold." "Wear this." "Why don't we take a little walk?" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma!" "Grandma?" "I can't stay here any longer." "Miya!" "It's me!" "Miya!" "Miya Clochette!" "You've really done it this time." "Why do these things keep happening one after another?" "The Blue Sky Sapphire." "So that's why Big Sister Shizuru..." "Miya?" "Really?" "Miya?" "She was useless trash." "I even allowed you to take on room duty for me." "Guess I was wrong about you." "Oh?" "Are you sure you weren't doing maki-makis to her behind her back?" "Shut your mouth!" "You've been promoted to Trias by chance... aren't you?" "You've got to be kidding." "This is the last thing I wanted." "what were you doing in that place?" "I was on a date." "Or rather..." "A friend I met during exams here wanted to discuss something with me." "as always." "Look who's talking." "So what happened with those guys?" "Who knows?" "Why don't you go check the bottom of the river?" "Wow." "So pretty!" "Amazing!" "So beautiful!" "I'm glad you're enjoying it." "Seeing something like this feels wonderful." "Technology is like magic." "I heard that back when our ancestors lived on a planet called Earth there were far greater scientific advancements." "Far greater?" "I can't imagine what they could be." "I bet people in those times lived really happily." "For sure!" "I wonder about that." "right?" "Grandma told me... way back." "The blue star shall become the sign to guide us and our beloved princess." "Journey past a thousand stars and ten thousand nights." "Toward the golden future that will be upon us." "Have you heard it?" "It's part of a poem said to have come from the first people who arrived on this planet." "But it's wonderful." "The blue star that guides us." "The Blue Sky Sapphire." "You know about her?" "She was able to have both her dream and her love." "you say." "I..." "I..." "Sergay." "Good morning!" "What a wonderful morning it is!" "wake up." "Nina!" "Stop that." "What time did you get back yesterday?" "get up!" "Arika!" "Arika!" "the morning cleaning is about to begin!" "Let's be the first ones there!" "Let's go!" "where were you last night?" "Come in." "Good morning." "Arika." "Arika." "Big Sister Chie!" "I have something to talk to you about." "Could you come with me for a moment?" "What?" "!" "She's confessed to everything." "the problem during the survival test and also this latest incident." "What a surprise!" "So that's what was going on." "But wasn't the uniform stolen?" "During the survival test we discovered that your equipment had been tampered with." "But we had no evidence and we couldn't make any accusations until we had all the facts." "Please accept my apologies for that." "Was there really only one girl behind this?" "That's what she says." "These incidents are very cruel in nature." "testify against her she can be dealt with by the disciplinary committee." "What do you say?" "I would rather not." "Arika?" "Me?" "!" "I-l-I couldn't do such a thing!" "No way!" "I'm not bothered by those things!" "who would have guessed it was Miya." "I had no idea." "What a total surprise!" "What can I say?" "Arika." "Really." "Don't be so kind." "You've been given a great chance." "If your dream of becoming an Otome is serious then you better try to get rid of your rivals." "You especially need to." "I said I'm all right!" "Huh?" "What's all the noise about?" "Miss Maria." "Headmistress." "You don't have to discuss Miya Clochette anymore." "We just received her resignation from the academy." "We also have an official notice from her guardian." "It describes her difficulties in making it to a higher ranking along with the unstable situation in her country as reasons for her leaving." "I'd like to see her off." "Would that be okay?" "She has already left." "This certainly leaves a bad taste." "Arika." "but..." "Arika!" "Are you okay?" "About what?" "You're more immune to these things than I thought." "I'll be on my way." "I made a promise to see my father." "Is something wrong?" "No." "Nothing." "Have a great time!" "Arika." "you and Major Wang..." "I mean..." "I need to hurry!" "Sorry!" "Arika!" "Arika." "Miss Aoi." "could we talk a moment?" "I'm not going to any meeting." "I'm not eating any meal." "And I'm not seeing guests." "Mashiro!" "I heard you locked yourself up in this room." "What's wrong?" "None of your business!" "remember." "Shut up!" "That was just for show!" "I bet you also think..." "I bet you think that I'm not fit to be Queen!" "So that's what happened." "I've been working so hard so far." "But that disrespectful scoundrel... and he repays me by mocking me!" "Um..." "Could it be that you have feelings for Takumi no kami?" "How could I ever fall in love with a guy like that?" "!" "It was only a temporary feeling." "You just said it yourself." "Arika." "Any more of that from you and you're asking for it!" "And besides how would you know what goes on between a guy and a girl?" "!" "You're right." "and stuff like that." "You..." "Huh?" "What's wrong with me?" "I'm..." "Don't tell me that you have someone too." "It can't be." "You're easy." "You said yourself that becoming an Otome is the dream you finally found." "So I tested you to see if you could be distracted from that dream." "and pretty Otome?" "Not even close!" "This is what bothers me about kids like you." "You don't put up a fight." "Playtime is over." "Go home." "Oh yeah." "You said something about Lena." "That she obtained both her dream and her love." "But you've got that wrong." "and therefore gave up being an Otome." "and even herself." "So her life came to a miserable end." "I hate you!" "Why did I fall in love with that jerk?" "why are you crying?" "I've been holding it in for so long..." "I can't anymore." "Mashiro." "Arika... you fool." "Chie." "It's just like you said." "An emergency?" "I see." "The time has finally come to put the plan into action." "So it's important that you find the real princess as soon as possible." "Your Highness." "it's crucial that we have the real princess." "I don't care how you do it." "Find her and turn her into our pawn." "You could simply seduce her." "You're good at that sort of thing." "Why... am I..." "No way." "She's the same age as Nina." "she's not Lena's daughter." "Then why?" "This is it!" "What's this?" "A drawing of the new castle they're building for me." "Looks weird." "don't you think?" "Especially this part at the top!" "you have no sense of beauty." "Mashiro." "I want to be reborn just like this castle." "I see." "Then let's do our best!" "or you become a Queen first." "But I'm already a Queen!" "a Queen who will bring happiness to everyone!" "Good idea." "Okay!" "A contest!" "we'll begin the first round of battles to determine representatives for the Commemorative Graduation Dance Battle." "There will be two representatives." "Those selected will be unconditionally promoted to Pearl status." "Give it your best." "Arika!" "Don't you lose!" "It's a parting gift." "Please accept it." "We're all going to miss you." "But just so you know..." "I will never forget you." "Begin!" "750)}{\3cHD90AF9}It's a {\3cHC50039}Promise!" "who is your special someone?" "Don't tell anyone." "and he knows me?" "I know!" "I must say you have bad taste!" "Who would've guessed Sakomizu?" "What?" "Not him!"
