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?
Where does it lead to? Is it a sea full of tears?
Or is it a place of great despair?
But I won't repent.
Even if I freeze to death in the cold, wintery light.
Ah, the rainbow... rainbow... rainbow...
The lovely rainbow... The lovely rainbow...
I will live with you... I did it!
Étoile
Nagisa-chan. Wake up.
Nagisa-chan. It's the morning.
So cute!
Na-gi-sa-chan...
wa-ke-up...
What is it?
Good morning.
Geez, Tamao-chan?
Didn't I told you to stop teasing me?
You look cute when you're angry too.
Ugh!
Froget it!
Your school uniforms have arrived.
What?
Wow! Now I can wear the same uniform as everyone else!
Let's get dressed right away.
I can dress on my own.
You don't have to be modest.
It's kind of hard to put on our uniform...
...so I'll help you until you get better at it.
Well, you see, Tamao-chan...
You need to stay still.
W-Wait!
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
It fits perfectly.
You're right.
It looks really good on you.
Really?
Have a seat.
Okay.
Next, we'll do your hair.
Étoile-sama! Good morning!
Good morning!
Good morning.
Tamao-chan! That was just too much!
We'll be late for breakfast!
I couldn't be satisfied without making you look perfect!
No!
I'm sorry!
É... Éto...
I'm sorry!
I was running late and I bumped into you by accident...
Good morning.
G-good morning.
Aoi-san.
I'm going to say this as the president of student council.
No matter what the reason is...
...you are not allowed to run in the hallway.
Make sure this never happens again.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
What was your name again?
Huh?
Aoi...
It's Nagisa. Nagisa Aoi.
Nagisa...
That's a beautiful name.
Can I call you Nagisa-chan?
What?
Uniform looks really good on you.
Your tie is a bit crooked.
Thank you very much.
For the rest of the day...
...I hope everything turns out okay.
Again...
I can't move.
No...
Nagisa-chan!
It's time to go.
Excuse us, Étoile-sama.
Okay, everyone.
Let's all get inside and take a seat.
It's time to say grace.
Enough is enough, Shizuma.
She just transferred here, you know.
Are you lecturing me again?
You don't need to worry.
If you see a pretty flower...
...you want to touch it, right?
That's all.
There's no deep meaning.
I see...
I was so scared.
Étoile-sama tried to kiss me out of nowhere.
I thought my heart was going to stop.
Oh no...
My heart is still beating fast.
The reason why Étoile-sama did that to you is because...
...you're too cute, Nagisa-chan.
Too cute? But I...
But it's the truth.
Tamao-chan.
Now let's go.
Okay...
Hey, did you hear about the transfer student?
Did you hear about it?
It was amazing!
Good morning.
There she is!
Hey, Étoile-sama almost kissed you?
No, I...
So it's true?
How did you girls know?
I heard there was quite an uproar at Strawberry hall.
The entire school is going crazy with that rumor!
What?
How was it? How did you feel?
No, well, I...
Étoile-sama's lips came really close to yours, right?
Well, it was just...
I'm so jealous!
I want her to call out my name just once!
You just transferred here, but Étoile-sama already likes you.
That's amazing!
Tamao-chan. I'm leaving the rest to you!
What?
Hey, tell us more!
When you were almost kissed by Étoile-sama.
Hey, come on.
Umm...
So they loved.
As love in...
I heard the rumors but...
Étoile-sama is really popular.
But why did she do that?
Wow!
Looks delicious!
Here. Open wide!
This is good!
I'm glad you like it.
The dormitory students love to come here for these desserts.
Students who commute to the school...
...can eat whatever they like at home.
But we have restrictions at Strawberry hall.
I'm surprised they have a wonderful cafe like this inside the school.
You must've been really hungry.
What?
I had a pretty rough morning with that incident, so...
...I didn't really feel like eating breakfast.
I see.
I can give you half of mine if you like.
What?
I feel bad.
Are you sure?
Here.
Thanks!
By the way, about the club activity.
Did you decide which club to join?
No.
I don't know what kind of clubs we have so...
Then why don't you join the literature club like me?
Literature club?
Yes.
I love writing and reading poetry.
There's a meeting right after this. So let's go together!
But I'm not really good at poetry...
I'm supposed to present a new poem I made.
What? Poem?
I definitely want you to hear it.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
I'd love to hear your poem.
Really?
I'm so happy!
Tougi-sama, Kanou-sama...
Where's Étoile-sama?
She's currently attending a luncheon for the student council members...
...of Miator, Spica, and Lulim.
Bye...
When all 3 schools get together...
...to do something, Étoile-sama always attends those meetings.
I see... It seems Étoile-sama has lots of duties.
What's going on?
I'm sorry.
She was here a minute ago.
She did it again.
President Rokujyo!
What is it?
Student council members from Spica and Lulim are here.
Rokujyo-san.
What?
Look. She's by Tougi-san and the others.
Again?
Yes.
I took my eyes off of her for a second and she disappeared.
Other student council members are looking for her...
...but can you people help out as well?
We can't get anything started without Shizuma.
Did something happen?
I don't know.
Student council room
They're late.
Étoile-sama and people from Miator.
All the members from Spica and Lulim are here already...
You're right.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry for all the trouble. We had a little slip up.
It's just...
Slip up?
What happened to Étoile-sama?
She's...
I wonder if she disappeared again.
Is that true?
We had a slip up.
Releasing 7 beautiful colors...
...the rainbow lures me into an unknown world.
I was fascinated by that delicate smile. I let go of everything.
But my rainbow... You're just an illusion.
The distance between you and me will never be shortened...
Ah, my rainbow, my rainbow...
When I realized, my hometown was...
Tamao-chan is so cool.
I'm not even allowed to return...
Where does it lead to? Is it a sea full of tears?
Or is it a place of great despair?
But I won't repent.
Even if I freeze to death in the cold, wintery light.
Ah, the rainbow... rainbow... My lovely rainbow...
I will live with you...
Wow, that was wonderful!
That was wonderful, Suzumi-san.
Knowing that their love is never meant to be...
...they still try to seek each other.
You were able to express the feeling of sadness very well.
I was moved by it.
Thank you very much, chief.
I'm very honored to hear your compliments.
Hey, can you do that again?
What?
I want to hear it!
Yeah, I want to hear it too!
One more time!
I would like to hear it too.
Ah... sure!
Well, then...
My rainbow... my rainbow...
Tamao-chan is amazing.
Maybe she can be a great poet someday.
Ah, sunlight streaming through the leaves... sunlight...
Sunlight streaming through the leaves. Sunlight streaming through the leaves...
It's no good. I can't think of the rest...
I guess I don't have what it takes to be a poet.
Ah, Étoile-sama!
What?
That's...
Étoile-sama?
Wasn't she supposed to be at the luncheon?
I sense something strange...
Is this...
What? What?
What's going on?
I saw something outrageous.
I can't believe it...
I'm kind of shocked.
Where am I?
It's a wonderful place.
I see. This is the library...
How long is she going to make us wait?
Umm... President Toumori of Spica?
Let's just start eating our food.
What?
We don't know if Étoile-sama is going to come.
Even if she comes, we'll be wasting time like this.
Plus we're all hungry...
Right?
Oh my...
How could you say such a thing, President of Lulim?
We haven't even finished grace by Étoile-sama.
You're right, but...
Rules are rules.
Anyway, I'm really troubled by Étoile-sama's selfishness...
I see. She's nowhere to be found?
Yes...
I'm afraid I have no choice. We'll have to postpone...
...today's luncheon.
But...
No way.
We can't let them wait any longer.
It's been decided.
Even so, I wonder where Étoile-sama is.
Yeah, I was surprised by the sight of her! Étoile-sama that is.
Me too. Do you think she was going to the library?
Classics
Wow...
I'm so happy...
To be able to see you here like this...
Your hair is soft...
No!
Please don't!
There's nothing to be afraid of, Nagisa-chan...
What should I do?
My body is frozen again...
You have pretty eyes.
Your cheeks are soft and smooth...
Ouch...
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
I'm sorry...
I...
Are you sure you're okay?
Nagisa-chan!
Tamao-chan.
Nagisa-chan!
I'm glad I found you. I was looking all over for you.
What were you doing here?
Well, I was...
By the way, what are you doing here, Tamao-chan?
I was on my way home after the club activities and...
...Rokujyo-sama came by and said you were waiting for me at the library.
Rokujyo-san said that?
How much longer do you plan on doing this?
You failed to show up at the luncheon again.
If this keeps up, then I won't be able to stand up for you.
Anyway, I just want you to do your job as Étoile.
Is that all?
Good night.
I heard that even if Étoile-sama falls for someone...
that love would die as soon as rumors started to spread.
Oh really...
But don't worry, Nagisa-chan.
I promise to protect you.
What should I do?
When I'm in front of that person, my body just freezes...
Ever since that time, I've been wandering around in darkness...
I don't know when it will end...
...but I'm in the dark.
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.
Umm, Astraea... umm...
The dormitory we're staying at is called the Strawberry hall.
Why is it called that?
It's so that all 3 schools can live separately in their own dorms and...
...their triangular-shaped building looks like the shape of a strawberry.
I see.
Hey, can you give me a tour inside the Strawberry hall sometime?
Sure.
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, Attic.
Hey, Tamao-chan! Where are we?
