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.
I will soon disappear from this world...
What will happen to her?
Beautiful and strong... She's perfect in every way.
Even after I disappear, will she be beautiful, strong, and perfect?
Like A Flower
Shizuma! It's me!
Are you there, Shizuma?
You're in there, right?
Shizuma! Answer me!
Shizuma!
Tamao-chan!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
How was it?
She wasn't in the greenhouse.
According to the upper-class students, she has been missing classes.
You're worried about her?
Yeah.
But I don't think I have to worry about her.
I'm sure she's fine.
This butter cookie is delicious.
I got that from Chihaya-chan.
Chihaya-chan always likes to have butter in her cookies and cakes.
Mizushima-san really loves butter.
I wonder why she doesn't get fat.
Cinnamon tea smells better with milk.
Wow, you're right. It smells good.
It tastes even better if you eat the chocolate first.
We made this tea party all of a sudden today, but thank you all for coming.
It was really nice of you to invite us.
It's been a while since we've done this.
She's right. We haven't done this in a long time.
That's because Nagisa-sama hasn't been herself lately.
Sorry.
There's no need for Nagisa-oneesama to apologize!
What?
Stop fighting, you two.
By the way, Ètoile election is starting soon.
Things are going to become more lively.
I wonder which people are representing each school. I can't wait.
Me too.
Can I have more tea?
Can you wait a second?
There's some left in the teapot.
I can prepare some fresh tea.
We still have some left.
Fresh tea tastes much better!
I'm fine with whatever.
Won't that take a while?
It's better to make it over a long period of time.
Shizuma! Answer me!
That's enough, Shizuma!
If you won't respond, I'll get the sisters and...
Stop shouting this early in the morning.
You're disturbing the next door neighbor.
Unfortunately, I live next door.
Talk about disturbing a person's sleep...
I don't care how much you sleep...
...as long as you do your job as Ètoile.
You don't come to school.
You don't take care of the greenhouse.
This has gotten worse than ever before.
This is your job, Ètoile-sama.
Take a look at those and sign them.
Until the new Ètoile is chosen, you still have a job to do.
You have to return the seal of Ètoile tomorrow.
Finally, the day has come for me to return this.
Yes. Don't forget her seal as well.
Since we're here, why don't we go get it right now?
You're very businesslike.
What?
How can you talk about her with such ease?
You always say the same things to me.
You've been saying the same thing for the past two years.
"Do your job as Ètoile".
That's all.
Shizuma, you're an Ètoile.
But I'm also human!
Of course. You think I didn't know that?
I've been by your side for all this time.
I've seen everything. From Kaori to Nagisa-san...
I know everything there is to know about you.
No!
You don't know anything.
You were just watching.
You don't know what true love is.
You've never loved anyone from the heart.
That's why you don't know how I feel.
That's not true!
I, too, have...
Who do you love?
Stupid!
Miyuki...
Are you crying?
Is that bad?
No.
I'm heading to the greenhouse.
I'm sorry, Miyuki.
I didn't mean any harm.
I was only joking around.
I'm always hurting others.
Nagisa...
Miyuki...
I live by hurting others around me.
I...
Your hair is going to get wet, Ètoile-sama.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
You once shared your umbrella with me.
Really?
Your first time in here?
Yes...
If you become an Ètoile, you'll get tired of coming here.
I don't plan to be one.
I see...
But will Spica's student council president be satisfied with that?
She always wanted to make you into an Ètoile.
She's always pestering me.
I figured.
Ètoile...
What is an Ètoile?
It's just that many student council members...
...as well as others are very interested in that position.
So I'm just curious to know what an Ètoile is.
Everyone's eyes focused on you... Lots of paperwork to sign...
Never-ending greetings and congratulations...
Finally, taking care of the greenhouse...
Is that your answer?
If the question is abstract, then you get limited answers.
One more question.
After you became an Ètoile, what did you gain?
Fame? Or is it something else?
What I gained?
Yes.
I did gain something.
I believe during that time...
...we gained something...
...that can't be...
...expressed in words.
You decided to come?
Nothing has changed.
Yes...
Where is it?
Inside the desk drawer.
I'm opening it.
Shizuma!
What?
To Shizuma
Kaori...
To Shizuma...
I wonder when you're going to read this.
When you do, what will you be doing?
Right now, for me...
I wouldn't have any idea.
I just hope one day you'll get to read this.
So, I'm going to place this letter in here.
Do you remember?
The day after we became an Ètoile.
We were guided by the previous Ètoile...
...and entered the greenhouse for the very first time.
I fell in love with that place the first time I saw it.
The greenhouse is wonderful.
It's warm even during the winter...
...and you're surrounded by the stifling scent of trees and flowers.
No cold wind or rain...
It's almost like the hill of Astraea that we're on.
Listen, Shizuma.
I'm going to disappear without seeing the outside world.
I'm happy being embraced by your love and not knowing rain or wind.
I never thought about leaving this place.
I love it here.
But you're different, Shizuma.
You walk around in the cold wind and rain...
...and must look towards a new world.
There has to be someone who has always supported you by your side.
And I want you to look ahead.
There has to be a brand new world waiting.
I'm sure you'll meet someone else.
I love you, Shizuma.
Shizuma, I want you to be free.
And I want you to stay beautiful, strong, and perfect.
Stay as the carefree person that I loved.
I want you to be like that always...
Please, Shizuma.
From Kaori.
Kaori...
Kaori!
Miyuki.
You're a crybaby just like always.
That's right.
You were the only one who was by my side and you were always crying.
Always.
There has to be someone who has always supported you by your side.
I'm sorry.
Miyuki.
I want you to stay by my side forever.
You can be the crybaby that you are.
So stay by my side forever and keep supporting me.
Shizuma...
You're my friend.
My one and only friend.
I can't go on without you.
I...
I need you.
Shizuma!
Shizuma...
Ètoile-sama?
Let's pick up where we left off yesterday.
It's your turn now.
You become an Ètoile...
...and you get something that can only be gained by becoming the Ètoile.
What would that be?
Go find that on your own. That's something you can't find by yourself.
What do you mean by that?
Kaori...
Goodbye...
Kaori...
Goodbye, Shizuma.
It's starting.
Ètoile election is...
...about to begin.
The wondefrul grace of God fills up heaven and earth.
His great power embraces us.
Filled with pleasant colors, the beloved child of the Lord is about to be born.
A gentle wind is blowing, so sleep in thy mother's breast, my child.
His salvation is much bigger than a country.
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
Hey Tamao-chan, can we put flowers in our room?
Of course you can, there are students that keep potted plants too.
That's a great idea!
You're right, we'll water the plants together and watch them grow.
Alright, maybe I'll go get something from Ètoile-sama's greenhouse.
No.
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Duel".
No, I'll get the flowers.
