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?
Tamao Suzumi Nice to meet you
Hey, what does a roomkeeper do?
Lots of things.
Like cleaning and shopping.
They decide by discussing it with the senpai of the room.
Really?
Tamao Suzumi / Nagisa Aoi
There!
Tamao Suzumi / Nagisa Aoi
This system exists only in Strawberry hall at Miator.
That's the roomkeeper.
Students from the lower-grade are to serve the select...
...few students in the upper-grade.
It's an important opportunity for them to get to know...
...the students they admire in the upper-grade.
Some students can't sleep the night before they decide...
...which room they go to because of high expectation and uneasiness.
Well, it's not like I was feeling that way...
Younger Sisters
Next please!
I'm first year student, Takatsuji Misa of Snow class.
You're going to be the roomkeeper of Ookura-san and Nakazawa-san.
Congratulations.
Here you go.
Next please.
Tamao Suzumi / Nagisa Aoi Nice to meet you
You're going to be the roomkeeper of Suzumi-san and Aoi-san.
Your name?
I'm Tsukidate Chiyo! First year student in Flower class!
Okay.
Congratulations, Tsukidate-san.
Thank you very much!
I'll be the roomkeeper of this room. I'll do my best to work for you.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I'm Tsukidate Chiyo!
I'll be working here... huh?
As a roomkeeper...
Huh?
Nagisa-oneesama...
I can't talk to Nagisa-oneesama like this!
Again!
I'm Tsukidate Chiyo! I'll be...
Put your name and class on the sheet I gave you before and...
...hand it in by the end of this week.
That is all.
Any questions?
Well then, good day, everyone.
Teacher, have a good day.
The roomkeeper for our room didn't come last night after all.
Maybe something happened to her.
Hey, maybe she didn't like the card I wrote.
I don't think so.
You did a really good job with the card.
I hope so...
I'm sleepy...
But I can finally talk to Nagisa-oneesama. I have to make a good impression.
Welcome back, onee-sama.
I'm back.
I'll carry your bag.
C-cute!
They all do the same thing in the beginning.
You did it too, Tamao-chan?
Well, sort of...
I was so happy that I had my apron on at all times.
So cute.
Excuse me. My name is Tsukidate Chiyo.
I'm going to be your new roomkeeper.
It's open...
I have to say I'm disappointed.
I wanted to see Hikari wearing that apron.
I wanted to see you wearing... I wanted to see Hikari wearing that apron.
...that apron, Nagisa-chan. I wanted to see Hikari wearing that apron.
Um, nice to meet you. I...
You must be Aoi Nagisa-san. You recently transferred to Miator.
Everyone knows about me.
You transferred to Spica last year, right, Hikari-san?
Yes.
I'm surprised you knew about it.
Roomkeeper, huh?
I like Miator.
Their first year students are all admirable and cute.
But aren't the first year students the same in Spica?
Well you see, our first year students are...
What about our first year students?
Ah! It's here!
What do you mean it's here?
Hikari-senpai, Yaya-senpai.
You forgot the music sheet for the next set piece.
We're starting a new song tomorrow. How do you perform without it?
Ah, you're right.
I totally forgot...
Thank you, Tsubomi-chan.
You don't need to thank me. I just happened to see you so...
Okuwaka Tsubomi-chan.
She's the newest member of our choir.
What?
Tsubomi-chan, you're a first year student?
Is there a problem?
No.
I'm just surprised since you're very mature.
You joined the choir because of Hikari, didn't you?
Yaya senpai! Why do you say such a thing?
Because it's the truth.
It's a big misunderstanding! She is one of the senpais...
...that I have respect for!
Umm, do you want to sit somewhere and talk?
Why don't we have them come to our room?
You remember that tea you gave me the other day, Tamao-chan?
That was good, right?
We can go to your room?
Yeah! Yaya-chan and Tsubomi-chan too.
Yes...
Oh yes, the roomkeeper might be there already.
If she is, then why don't we all borrow her apron and try it on?
That's a good idea!
I want to see Hikari-chan wearing an apron too!
I'm going too...
My parents will yell at me if they found out that I turned down...
...an offer by students of an upper class.
Wear an apron for us, okay?
That's not the reason why I'm going!
She's just not gentle and obedient.
Now, all I need to do is to wait for their return.
No, it was nothing...
I just did what any roomkeeper would do...
What?
Is this...
Could it be?
What?
Ouch...
You...
What?
It hurts!
Ow... ouch...
Ouch...
Aoi Nagisa-san.
When are you going to start properly walking in the hallway?
I want you to write a letter of apology by tomorrow.
Yes.
Tsukidate Chiyo-san.
I understand you're a roomkeeper, but you shouldn't...
...enter their room without their permission.
I'm really sorry.
I'm sorry that I troubled you, Nagisa-oneesama...
I mean Nagisa-sama.
I'm sorry too, Chiyo-chan.
I was surprised since the sheet moved all of a sudden...
I can't stand things like ghosts.
It's all my fault!
Now, let's go to our room.
Y-Yes.
I'm back.
It's clean.
They helped out. We just finished a few moments ago.
Thank you, everyone.
It was really nothing, so there's no need to thank us.
Plus...
It's not your fault, Nagisa-sama.
I'm sorry...
By the way, where's the tea?
Well, it's almost time for dinner, so I don't think we have time for tea...
You're right. It's too bad.
Tamao-chan's black tea tastes really good...
It can't be helped.
Let's do it next time.
Hey, why don't we have the tea party tonight?
Tonight? You mean a tea party at night?
Correct!
Midnight tea party!
What? We'll get in trouble!
We just have to be careful.
Come in...
Welcome.
I kept thinking that I shouldn't get caught, and that got me excited.
That thrill is what's great about all this!
And two more?
Please come this way for the time being.
What are you surprised about?
I'm sorry.
Looking all happy with that apron.
I'm not saying this because I'm jealous.
This roomkeeper system is really stupid.
What?
I'm saying it's an out-dated system that's typical for Miator.
You can't even choose the ones whom you are going to serve!
I definitely don't want to serve anyone other than the senpais that I like!
But this is tradition so...
Tradition is meaningless.
You pick a card to choose your senpais?
That's not true!
What did you say?
That card is given to the lower-grade students by the sisters of upper-grade...
...and it's a very sacred...
What's sacred about a card?
Huh? It's gone...
What is gone?
My card...
An important card I received from Nagisa-sama and Tamao-sama...
Wow! It's a beautiful tea set!
They're all Tamao-chan's.
Tamao-chan has good taste.
No, I don't...
They're here!
I'll open it right now.
You're late...
Oh my... a tea party?
This chapel was the first building in our...
...monastic order that was built on this hill.
It's the oldest architectural structure with a long and distinguished history.
Usually, this building is kept clean by the people of the monastic order...
...but we got their permission to clean the staircase for them today.
What? The entire staircase?
All of it?
Yes, all of it.
You should be honored to clean a facility that is full of history.
By cleaning every speck of dust and dirt...
...I'm sure your hearts will be cleansed as well.
What do you say, everyone?
Thank you very much, sister!
Good... good...
We can't finish all this in one day!
Well, the only good thing about all this is we saw Nagisa-chan...
And Hikari wearing their aprons.
I'll do it!
I'll do all of it!
Chiyo-chan?
Maybe she feels responsible for what happened last night?
Even I can do it!
I guess we should do it as well.
Yes.
I...
Won't lose!
Chiyo-chan, I'll help you.
I'll be...
...fine.
Take it easy.
Besides, it's not your fault that we have to do this today.
It's not like that.
Let me give you a hand.
I can do it myself!
Nagisa-chan! Chiyo-chan!
It's terrible!
Ouch...
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine...
Ouch...
You have blood on your leg!
I'm fine.
I just scraped it a little.
Your clothes are going to get dirty.
Doesn't it hurt?
I'm perfectly fine.
I got your handkerchief all dirty.
I'm sorry...
Chiyo-chan?
I couldn't be of any help to you, Nagisa-sama.
I'm always screwing things up...
I wanted to be a roomkeeper for a wonderful person like you.
I wanted to be a useful younger sister for a long...
...long time...
But...
Chiyo-chan. Here.
Something you lost...
Thank God...
Thank you.
What?
I'm very happy to see that you took good care of it.
Of course I did!
To tell you the truth, I was feeling a bit uneasy.
What?
That's because I've never gotten this card before.
So I didn't know how you felt, Chiyo-chan...
Even when I was writing this card, I thought what kind...
...of girl is going to get this card...
...or what if my feelings never get through to her...
...or what if she ends up not liking me...
I was really worried.
Was I the kind of girl that you expected?
Yes, yes, yes.
Thanks.
I'm really happy to get a younger sister like you.
Nagisa...
...onee-sama.
Chiyo-chan? What's wrong?
Hey, don't cry!
But... but...
Nagisa-san is really cute.
Yes...
Hmm...
Good.
And now...
Well, Chiyo-chan.
Shall we begin the tea party?
Yes! Nagisa-oneesama!
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, what kind of clubs are there in Miator?
Well, they have flower arrangement, tea club, cooking, and sewing.
Sounds like training for married life.
Yes, Miator was also called a finishing school...
...and there are students that get engaged while attending school.
Tamao-chan, don't tell me you're also engaged.
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, Greenhouse.
Well, what's your answer, Tamao-chan?
