Dream? (day dream)
Just an ordinary dream... (sweet dream)
But my heart... (always)
...is shaking. (always)
After experiencing love... (missing)
...my lips... (wishing)
...only called out to you in sadness.
Waitin' for you, respond to my thoughts quickly.
Spread your wings of sigh, come and embrace me.
Bold confession... My heart desires this.
My eyes are fixed on you, and a drop falls down.
It's called passion, but I blame it on the tears.
Let's make a promise. We're going to come...
...across each other many times in a dream.
Increased appetite in autumn.
More sleep in autumn.
Fine arts in autumn.
Reading in autumn.
Many trees are changing their colors and maple leaves are falling.
But there is something that excites us more at Astraea in autumn.
That's right.
Ètoile election is coming up.
Secret
Entries for the Ètoile election are starting soon.
But Le Rim is not really a part of it, right?
That's right.
No one is willing to become the Ètoile and accept all the difficult tasks.
You're right.
I'm definitely not...
...going to lose this time.
You picked a joker again?
I wonder who's running from Spica.
I guess Amane-sama isn't competing?
Amane-sama might not be competing.
So I think Kaname Kenjyo of student council is the strongest candidate.
I see. Kaname-sama is also wonderful.
Maybe it's time...
...to give up on Amane-kun.
Then who's going to represent Spica?
Ètoile election that is.
What if Amane-kun doesn't run?
I wonder who's running from Miator.
Shizuma-sama will be graduating next March.
I guess she won't be running anymore.
Then who could possibly replace Shizuma-sama?
It might be difficult for Miator to get an Ètoile this year.
Looks like it's getting more exciting.
Yes.
I just hope they can decide the next Ètoile quickly.
So you won't have to do all this work anymore?
But you're still the Ètoile.
I want you to finish these by today.
Hey, Tamao-chan. What's the Ètoile election?
You didn't know?
No. It's like it's common knowledge...
...so I felt embarrassed to ask.
Ètoile election. Officially known as...
Le Souffe de Dieu dase et Souleve un etoile.
Le Souffe de...
Just as you've heard, it's an event to decide the next Ètoile.
I see. I didn't know Ètoile is decided in an election.
How did you think they were decided?
I didn't think they were decided.
I thought Ètoile-sama was Ètoile-sama from the very beginning.
You're so silly, Nagisa-chan.
Several trials are given to the candidates in the Ètoile election.
Trials?
Yes.
Beautiful figure as well as beautiful looks.
Great talents, elegance, and delicacy.
Trusted by everyone and also a coach in life.
I see. It's not easy trying to become the Ètoile.
Yes.
Good morning.
Morning.
No, it's just...
Oh yes.
Do you want to go enjoy the autumn leaves with me?
Enjoy the autumn leaves?
Yes. Astraea's leaves are beautiful, but there's a place nearby...
...that has leaves that are even more beautiful.
Enjoy the autumn leaves...
Sure, I'll go.
Great.
I'll try really hard to prepare a good lunch for us.
We need to wrap things up soon...
...in order to get the Ètoile position.
Momomi...
Don't worry.
Time is up.
We don't have much time.
At this rate...
No...
In order for Spica to produce the next Ètoile...
...Amane-san has to be in it.
Looks delicious.
I know. I'll make Nagisa-chan's favorite fruit sandwich as well.
Nagisa-oneesama!
Chiyo-chan, are you heading back now?
Yes. Can I join you on your way back to Strawberry hall?
Of course.
And about the Ètoile candidate from Miator.
Among us first year students...
...Tamao-sama is considered to be the favorite.
Tamao-chan?
Yes. Everyone just admires Tamao-sama.
I see.
Tamao-chan has good grades and she's also kind. I can see why.
Yes, but Nagisa-oneesama, I...
Come on, Chiyo-chan!
Let's participate in the Ètoile election together!
Nagisa-oneesama!
You're my partner!
Partner...
That sounds wonderful.
Partner?
No, I mean...
Yes, well if you were to participate in the Ètoile election...
...I was thinking who you would choose as a partner.
What do you mean partner?
That's if you're running. Only if.
I know that's a big if. I'm not talking about that.
What did you mean by partner?
Yes? That's the person you enter the Ètoile election with.
Person you enter the election with?
You enter the Ètoile election together.
You mean two people?
That's right.
You enter the Ètoile election as a pair.
Then the two people go through many trials together.
Really?
You didn't know?
That means one of them gets to be Ètoile, but what about the other one?
The other one is also Ètoile.
Well, both will be Ètoile.
Both will be Ètoile?
But Shizuma-sama is the only Ètoile now, right?
Yes. That's why President Rokujyo of student council is her assistant.
How come Shizuma-sama is the only Ètoile?
I don't know about much in detail...
I wonder why.
Hey, Tamao-chan.
Yes?
There's another Ètoile?
I heard it from Chiyo-chan.
Two people are supposed to make up the Ètoile?
That's right.
Two people that have strong trust for each other get chosen to be Ètoile.
But Shizuma-sama is the only Ètoile now, right?
Where's the other person?
What happened to that person?
Tamao-chan?
She passed away.
I see.
Shizuma-sama has changed since that incident.
Shizuma, you changed a lot.
What?
You're doing your job as Ètoile now.
Plus...
What are you saying?
What was she like?
Well...
Can you let me think about it?
I don't know whether I should talk about the other Ètoile.
Or...
Or?
I think we should go to sleep now.
She changed...
Shizuma.
Ever since that girl died...
And after that girl came...
Two people that have strong trust for each other get chosen to be Ètoile.
Strong trust for each other...
Was it someone important to Shizuma-sama?
Can I help you?
Shizuma is at the greenhouse, Nagisa-san.
No, I didn't come to see her.
Thank you very much.
Hot!
So you didn't come to see Shizuma.
I...
Is this about the Ètoile?
The other Ètoile?
Yes.
I see...
I asked Tamao-chan about it too...
What did she say?
She needed some time to think about it.
Um...
Can you give me some time to think about it too?
What?
She was Shizuma's...
Not only was she a partner of Ètoile...
...but also a very important person to me as well.
Give me a little more time.
Sure.
It bothers you, right?
What? Yes...
That girl came by.
That girl?
Nagisa-san.
What did she want?
She wanted to know what the other Ètoile was like.
What?
I told her to give me a little more time.
I see...
She's trying to...
Nevermind.
It bothers you, right?
Why do I feel this way?
Ètoile...
The other Ètoile.
Shizuma-sama to me is...
You got better.
Well...
I practiced.
I wished I could play better and play with you again.
She liked this song.
She?
The other Ètoile.
That's right.
Autumn leaves are beautiful.
Yes...
Let's go enjoy the autumn leaves tomorrow on Saturday.
Then is it alright if I bring Tamao-chan?
I promised to go with her too.
No.
What?
We're going to my cottage.
But...
I want you to hear what I have to say about her.
You...
Nagisa.
Okay?
Yes.
Thank you.
Yes?
Shizuma?
Nagisa-chan. Where did you go?
I'm almost done preparing our food.
Only thing left for me to do is to make your favorite fruit sandwich...
I'm sorry, Tamao-chan!
What?
Shizuma...
I'll tell Nagisa about it.
I see.
I'm really sorry!
I know we promised to go enjoy the autumn leaves.
You want to hear Shizuma-sama's story, right?
Sorry...
I want to know everything about Shizuma-sama.
That's because I...
I...
You think she can free you?
Free you from your past?
She might be able to...
You changed...
You used to be resolute.
Your heart wouldn't be moved no matter what.
Your heart was always like winter.
Frozen...
But that ice is beginning to melt.
Your heart is starting to get warm like spring.
Maybe it's all because of that girl.
I made you wait a long time.
A long time...
For holding on to my heart...
...I thank you, Miyuki.
Shizuma...
Please feel free to eat them.
We'll return to Strawberry hall before dark.
Yes.
I'm standing by your side...
But are you immersed in...
...such a good book that you don't notice me?
I'd like to take a look.
Your hand stopped, and you called out to me gently.
The future will change, so let's go back to the past.
The leather bound book... I remembered...
...a sweet episode we had back then.
We were both confused and scared, but we touched each other.
Tell me that you're happy.
You're smiling.
I was embarrassed so I ran away!
Come and get me.
You know everything that's going on.
But you're just teasing me.
You want to receive the punishment of love? KISS
Next Episode
Well? Did you read my poem, Tamao-chan?
Yes. I read it over and over again.
You're embarrassing me.
Well, it's because you wrote it, Nagisa-chan.
Was there a part where you had to read it many times?
Yes, like counting how many times you used the word "Autumn".
Ugh!
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Storm of Love".
I'll always keep reading more of it, Nagisa-chan...
