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?
How long has it been?
As it appears to me, the green of the tree lines has gone...
Since when?
When did I start losing the scent of those flowers?
How long has it been?
Cherry Blossom Hill
No way...
Astraea hill is...
that far?
I won't make it in time!
These school uniforms are amazing!
So pretty!
These uniforms look cute too!
No!
What should I do?
Anyway, I have to hurry!
What is this place?
Umm...
Such a beautiful person...
Umm... I just transferred here and...
I see.
Here.
Thank you very much.
Umm...
Somehow, my body won't move...
What?
What!?
Huh? What happened?
Was that all a dream?
I...
Oh, I'm sorry.
You looked so cute when you're sleeping. I was just fascinated by it.
Umm... Where are we?
Oh yes.
This is the infirmary of Saint Miator girls' academy.
Nice to meet you. I'm Suzumi Tamao.
Ah, I'm...
I already know.
You're Aoi Nagisa-san, right?
We're both in the same grade and class.
We even share the same room at the dormitory.
Oh, I see...
How do you feel, Nagisa-san?
I'm absolutely fine.
see?
Oh no!
Look at the time!
Yes. According to what they told me...
...they found you collapsed near the courtyard this morning.
Then they brought you here and you've been sleeping ever since.
Oh, so that's what happened.
I was so nervous I couldn't sleep well...
And since I'm your roommate, I was just waiting here for you...
...to wake up.
You mean after you finished your class until now?
Yes.
It was nothing.
I was watching your cute sleeping face, and time just went by so fast.
Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling well.
We already took care of all your paperwork.
So let's just take a look around the school and...
...head over to the dormitory.
Yes.
I'm counting on you.
But before that...
What?
What's going on?
I need some time alone with you.
What?
Why do you need my body measurements?
We need to order your school uniform.
Okay. Now, under the bust.
Okay.
Since you don't have your school uniform...
...your transfer to this school must've been at the very last minute.
Okay, now put your feet together.
That tickles!
Please stay still.
Okay...
School store
A set of summer and winter uniforms...
Let's see... your name is...
Aoi Nagisa. And your size?
AR of number 7 please.
What?
Yes, I understand.
Umm... Suzumi-san?
That size...
You don't have to be polite, you know. Just call me by my first name.
Then... Tamao-chan?
Yes, what is it, Nagisa-chan?
Size for the school uniform is just a single number.
Why did you measure my entire body?
Oh, that.
Right. Like my weight, legs, or under my bust.
There wasn't a reason for that?
Oh, there was a reason...
All of your data is very valuable treasure to me.
Your parents moved overseas?
Yeah.
So I'm staying here all by myself.
My aunt is from Miator and she introduced me to this school.
I was admitted right away.
I see.
Usually, we don't get many fourth year transfer students...
...so I thought it was somewhat strange.
Fourth-year student?
Yes.
Our junior high is connected to our high school.
So we call a first-year high school student a fourth-year student.
Oh, I see...
What?
You can see it from here too.
Ah, the church?.
You can call it a symbol of Astraea hill.
To the west of the chapel is the Saint Spica girls' academy.
To the east of the chapel is the Saint Lulim.
Ah, so that's why the girls were...
...wearing 3 different uniforms this morning.
Yes.
White uniforms are for Spica.
Lulim wears the checkered skirts.
This is the classroom.
I'm sure the teacher will provide you with a desk tomorrow.
Wow...
It looks so calm...
Let's go to the dormitory.
Your belongings might have arrived.
Okay!
Plus...
We have to make it back by the 6 o'clock curfew.
Curfew? They have that here?
Yes. You must follow it.
You'll be in big trouble if you don't follow your curfew.
Wow!
It's amazing!
I give my warm regards to you.
You look lovely even when you're praying.
Right...
Oh, Suzumi-san.
The headmaster was looking for you.
It's very unfortunate.
I won't be able to join you.
I can't believe it turned out like this. I can't tell you how sorry I am.
You're exaggerating, Tamao-chan.
No!
If something happens to you, Nagisa-chan, I...
Thanks. But I'm going to the dormitory, so...
Anyway, please be careful.
I'm kind of overwhelmed.
That person...
Wait!
Where is she going?
Excuse me!
Huh?
She disappeared.
Our curfew is 6 o'clock. You'll be in big trouble if you don't follow it.
Oh no!
I'm barely going to make it.
Nagisa-chan!
Thanks for waiting...
Huh?
She's not back yet?
Wait!
Nagisa-chan isn't back yet!
Tamao-chan!
Nagisa-chan!
Tamao-chan!
Can't you open this?
I'm sorry.
So I can't get back in?
No.
Head sister of the dormitory has the key to this gate.
Sister?
Yes.
Here she comes...
Who are you?
I don't believe we have anyone...
...in this Astraea dormitory who can't be back by curfew.
It's very unfortunate.
Even if you're a transfer student...
...you should follow the curfew.
Aren't you ashamed?
I'm sorry!
One more time!
Yes!
Let's go over our dormitory rules.
Starting from article 1.
Article 1. Students at Astraea should be...
...the pride of our dormitory.
As a dormitory student...
President Rokujyo of student council...
Article 10. Possession of cell phones and beepers are...
Who is it?
It's Rokujyo.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Sister Hamasaka. I'm really sorry to have troubled you.
Fine then.
Since the president of student council is here to...
...apologize like this, I'll think I'll let this one go.
Thank you very much.
Let's go.
You must be unlucky.
What?
To be called out by the sister on your very first day.
Yes. I...
This is the sixth year student, Rokuyio Miyuki-sama .
She's the president of student council at Miator.
Umm...
I'm really sorry.
Aoi Nagisa-san, was it?
You just have to be careful next time.
But, but...
I made you come and fetch me...
Don't worry about it. It's part of my job.
Plus if you're feeling nervous around me, then what are you...
...going to do when you meet Étoile?
What's Étoile?
Is it a teacher?
She's a student.
Miator, Spica, Lulimm... She's a representative for all 3 schools.
Representative for all 3 schools?
Is she even scarier than that sister?
She's not scary at all.
She is greatly loved and respected by all 3 schools.
That's pretty much it.
What we know for sure is that everyone loves her.
This school must be something...
Scary sister in charge of the dormitory and the president of student council.
Plus on top of that, Éto... something.
Nagisa-chan.
Let's go to the cafeteria.
Okay.
Fourth year student?
Hey, can you guess what the new transfer student might be like?
Maybe she's really pretty.
What?
I can't wait to meet her!
Oshibaru. Do you know about the transfer student?
Ah, thank you.
No problem.
Be careful.
Did you hear the rumors about the new transfer student?
Tsukidate-sama?
What? No...
I mean yes... Umm...
Did you hear about the new transfer student?
I'm not interested in Miator's transfer student.
That's not good, Hikari.
I don't want you to like anyone except me.
Yaya-chan, they might get misunderstood about us...
Transfer student...
This is the cafeteria.
I think you should greet Étoile before your meal.
Yes!
Seems like they all have their eyes on me...
This is the transfer student. She's here to greet the Étoile.
Oh, I'll just get up and...
Excuse me!
Nice to meet you, Étoile-sama!
I just transferred to this school today. First year student... oops...
I'm Aoi Nagisa and I'm a fourth year student.
Umm... nice to meet you!
Not her, Nagisa-chan!
We meet again.
The girl from this morning!
Oh, so you remembered. I'm honored.
How could I forget?
You approached me all of a sudden and... and...
No! Where do you think you are? We're in front of Étoile-sama!
Étoile?
That's right!
She's more important than the president of the student council!
So... so in a place like this...
In front of a very important person...
it's wrong!
It' not wrong.
What's going on?
How come she can do this? How? Why?
Shizuma! That's enough!
Why are you stopping me?
It's time.
Nagisa-chan!
Please take a seat, everyone.
Now, would you please say pray for meal...
Étoile Hanazono Shizuma-sama.
What?
É... É...
Ét... Ét...
It can't be...
Nagisa-chan.
Dear Lord...
We thank you for this food.
And we ask that you bless it and make it to nourish our bodies.
She's Étoile?
The representative for all 3 schools? The person that they all love?
In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
I... I... I...
I can't believe this!
That was great debut!
To be approached by Shizuma-sama... the Étoile.
Debut?
I guess my Nagisa-chan is too cute.
Well, I don't really belong to you, Tamao-chan...
Don't move!
Okay.
Such beautiful hair.
We have to take good care of your hair from now on.
I think I came to an unbelievable school...
What's going to happen from here on?
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.
Hey, Tamao-chan. Étoile-sama is...
Étoile. In French, it means a star.
And here in Astraea, Étoile is the one who sits...
...at the very top of all 3 schools.
Really?
But be careful, Nagisa-chan.
Lower-class students who were marked by Étoile... Shizuma-sama was... was...
What happened to them?
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, Étoile.
I can't tell you any more than this!
