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?
I like summer.
Pool, ocean, bathing suit...
Camp school in the forest, seaside school. I love them all.
I don't mind doing summer homework.
I don't mind the rain or thunder either.
But...
I don't want any ghosts, apparitions, and ghost stories.
Please...
Memory
Thank you for inviting me.
Welcome.
Did I schedule you to come tonight?
Look, look.
Look at this.
Oh, my! They're wonderful!
I ordered them a while ago, and I just got them today.
They're fresh. We should eat them right away.
Then I'll go prepare the tea.
By the way, what happened to Nagisa-san?
What's going on?
Well, you see...
Nagisa-san's school bathing suit just arrived today.
Nagisa-san! Please open up!
Nagisa-san.
No!
Everyone is going to see you at the pool anyway.
I don't want people to see me there like this!
Stop resisting!
If you keep making noises, then oneesama is going to find out.
We got some tasty treats from a famous patissier.
It's too bad you can't join us...
We thought you might be happy to hear this, but...
Too bad.
Wow, this cake looks delicious!
I think I'll try this millefeuille.
They said this gâteau chocolat is great.
I can't decide what to eat.
Looks delicious, right?
Yes.
Ta-da!
Oh, my! So cute!
Nagisa-san, it looks good on you!
I think it's good.
Stop!
Hate it, hate it, hate it!
Come on, Nagisa-chan.
Cheer up. We have some cakes.
What? Really?
Nagisa-san, you really have a sweet tooth.
What's wrong with that?
Nagisa-san is so cute.
She has a nice figure, so there's no need to be embarrassed.
Much better than you, Hikari.
Come on, Hikari. There's no need to cry.
What? I wasn't crying.
Huh?
But I just heard crying...
What?
This voice... Whose voice is it?
Could this be...
What?
Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan saw a ghost?
It's not a ghost. After they left our tea party...
...they heard a girl's crying in the hallway.
That must be "the girl in the hallway."
Right.
It's one of Strawberry Hall's seven wonders.
Seven wonders?
There are a total of seven wonders in Strawberry Hall.
Have you heard about them, Nagisa- chan?
No.
Let's see...
"The girl in the hallway," "mirror in the dance hall"...
..."gallows in the attic"...
..."statue of Maria that gets heavy," "piano that plays on its own"...
..."7th door"...
..."stain in the basement"... "Laughs in the conference room"...
Huh?
What is that?
On the wall of the basement that is off-limits...
...there's a stain that's in the shape of a person...
What?
As for mine...
The sound of laughter can be heard from an empty conference room.
The ones who heard that voice...
No!
I didn't know Nagisa-chan was such a scaredy-cat.
Much worse than I expected.
Chihaya and I differ in one of the seven wonders...
Those seven wonders are a bunch of nonsense anyway.
Obviously, they're going to be different for each person.
Aren't you going too far to say they're a bunch of nonsense?
But they are.
So you have nothing to worry about, Nagisa-chan.
Okay...
Hello, everyone.
Hello, Professor.
It's time for your morning service.
We're going to sing hymn no. 8, and study verses 1~14 in the...
...148th psalm in the Book of Psalms.
Are we ready?
Yes.
Tamao-chan?
Wow, what is this?
During the break, I asked away at the people who knew...
...about the seven wonders in Strawberry Hall.
Honestly, many people couldn't remember all seven.
Really?
Ah, the girl from the class next door. Even an upperclassman.
Ms. Oosaki.
Our homeroom teacher is from Miator?
Yes. She's a respected senpai.
If you look at them closely, some people mentioned...
...seven wonders that are different from others. So it's pretty interesting.
For example, of the seven wonders Chiyo-chan knows...
...and the ones Chihaya-chan knows, five are the same.
But when compared to Ms. Oosaki, they only have two in common.
I see...
Ah, don't tell me you were...
Yes. I've been trying to decide what to put in our...
...literary club's paper, and I thought about...
...putting something that is related to this research.
Really? What kind of article are you going to write?
I'm thinking of researching "the girl in the hallway" for the time being.
What?
That's the one Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan encountered...
Yes, that's right.
You're always playing tricks on me, Yaya-chan.
That's because you're cute, Hikari.
Ugh...
We're both floating in the sky.
Yeah...
Okay, your break is over.
Okay.
Last night?
You mean the story about the hallway?
Do you like ghosts?
Don't say ghosts.
Oh my.
We're doing some research on the seven wonders.
Like where you heard the voice or how it felt.
Can you tell us anything about that encounter?
I believe we heard the voice around the corner on our way home.
Shifting point near the Spica building.
Let's see...
I think the voice kept coming from different places.
That means it wasn't a regular voice, right?
But that hallway has a high ceiling, so maybe...
...the voices could reverberate...
I don't really know if it's true or not, but...
What kind of voice did you hear?
Well...
Ah!
Hee!
Looks like your naked body was more shocking than a ghost.
Right...
What? Why do you say that?
Hey, Nagisa-chan.
What?
I found out something that's interesting.
There's a strange trend concerning the people that know...
...about this "girl in the hallway."
Strange trend?
Are you interested?
Yeah.
I don't have much data, so I can't really say much.
But our current students all know about this phenomenon.
Some of them might have a totally different answer...
...but they all had "the girl in the hallway" in common.
Right.
But when we asked the ones who graduated...
...the number of people who knew about it was much less.
People who are five years older than the sixth-year student knew about it...
...but the ones who are six years and up didn't know about this phenomenon.
People who are five years older... That means when the current...
...sixth-year student first entered the school...
...those people were staying at Strawberry Hall?
You're very sharp, Nagisa-chan.
Maybe this phenomenon started just recently.
"The girl in the hallway"...
I wonder how it goes...
Well, you see...
What?
Several years ago on a certain night...
...one of the students from Strawberry Hall left her room alone.
And then she never returned...
Huh?
I'll do more research tomorrow by focusing on the upperclassmen.
Nagisa-chan?
Tamao-chan. Don't laugh, okay?
Sure.
I can't sleep.
Can I sleep with you?
I'm sorry for scaring you, Nagisa-chan.
It's okay...
I'll be just fine like this.
This is the first time we've slept together in the same bed.
Yeah. To tell you the truth...
Yes?
I was feeling lonely when I first transferred here, and...
...I thought about asking you several times to sleep with me.
Oh, my...
Did you know, Nagisa-chan?
Know what?
That if you hold your partner's hand, both you and your partner...
...will have the same dream.
Tamao-chan.
Don't have any nightmares, okay?
Okay.
Nagisa-chan.
The seven wonders of Strawberry Hall...
Yes.
One of them called "the girl in the hallway"...
Silly.
What?
You shouldn't go around asking people about unscientific things like that.
But there are people who said they heard voices...
I'm sorry...
...but the meeting is about to begin.
"The girl in the hallway"...
Did you ask Miyuki about that?
What? Who's Miyuki?
Miyuki Rokujyo.
Yes, she said I shouldn't ask such unscientific things.
Then I'll have to say the same.
No comment.
What? But you just have to tell me if you know it or not...
I already told you the answer. No comment.
That's all.
The seven wonders of Strawberry Hall?
Of course I'll cooperate.
I know about "the girl in the hallway."
I was told about it when I first entered the dormitory.
I knew it!
Fifth-year student Chikari-sama is familiar with the phenomenon.
Sounds interesting.
Can I ask you some details?
Sure.
Everyone up until the fifth year knew about "the girl in the hallway"
There were some sixth-year students who only knew a little.
And when you look at the ones who graduated, the older they are...
...the less they knew.
Ones who graduated more than ten years ago...
...didn't know about this at all.
It was unbelievable when I first entered school.
I heard one of the senpais heard the voice too.
What?
Really?
When the current sixth-year student first entered school...
...maybe someone spread the rumor?
Or maybe something strange did occur that year.
Are you interested in this?
Of course.
I want to know anything strange about Strawberry Hall.
Aren't you scared?
Nagisa-chan.
Do you know how long this Strawberry Hall has been around?
Well...
It was created when Miator first opened...
...so that means it's been around almost 100 years.
Wow.
For that lengthy period, this building has housed girls our age...
...and has been doing so for a very long time.
This wall has been listening to what we had to say.
Problems, sadness, and other thoughts.
So, don't you think that a strange phenomenon like this...
...suits this kind of building?
Tamao-chan.
You were still awake?
Nagisa-chan?
I mean, we did all this research together...
You're right.
Can you come with me, Nagisa-chan?
Okay!
If I'm with you, Tamao-chan, I feel like I'm not scared of anything.
That's good to know.
I believe it was around here, right?
Yeah.
I'm not scared. I'm fine now.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
What?
Is that really it?
Could it be?
I'm okay... I'm okay...
I'm not scared. I'm not scared...
Nagisa-chan, look!
I'm not scared... I'm not scared...
Oh.
A cat?
So the cries of "the girl in the hallway"...
...were the cries of a cat after all.
Yes.
I'm sure Hikari-chan and Yaya-chan heard the same sound.
You might be right.
It has to be.
I'm sure that the cries the senpais heard five years ago...
...came from the cat as well.
Are you sure?
It has to be.
Are you really sure?
I'm sure of it.
Okay, okay.
Miyuki... Miyuki...
What?
This is where you were crying?
Shizuma.
I know you feel homesick...
...since it's your first time being in a dormitory.
It's becoming a rumor all over the dormitory.
About the cries being heard from the hallway.
I'm sorry...
You don't have to apologize.
I'll be fine starting today.
Really?
Yeah, I'll do my best.
I'll be more mature. That's because...
...you came for me, Shizuma.
Then we don't have to sleep in the same bed tonight.
No!
You're going to be mature, right?
Just for tonight...
Tonight is the last time.
Miyuki.
Yes!

Um...
Tenth line on the fourth one.
During this period in Europe, powerful nations would marry each other.
This policy to bring peace has...
I'll be more mature.
I'll be strong just like you one day.
Okay, next person. Omaezaki-san.
Yes.
That was rare.
It's just not like you.
Keep it steady.
Thanks.
Keep it steady...
Seems like you're having fun, Nagisa-chan.
Swim with me, Tamao-chan.
Sure...
Ah, I have something to tell you.
What?
It's about "the girl in the hallway."
I wasn't able to finish the article.
What?
So I decided to research the other seven wonders.
That means...
Don't worry, there are six more.
I'm sure we'll get a big one this time.
No...
No more!
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. This is what I think.
Studying is the most important thing for students.
You're right.
But it's important to study every day.
That's right.
So it's too late if you try to cram everything before an exam.
That's just a waste of time.
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Private Lesson."
But if you don't study, you'll get much worse.
No, I don't want to hear it!
