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.
Little Red Riding Hood gets eaten by the wolf in the end.
Why don't you just choose me over Amane already?
Why do you look at me like that?
You're a coward.
A coward?
I don't know if you're doing this for the Ètoile election...
...but if you want to win against Amane senpai...
...why don't you just do it fair and square?
Kaori's words were cold like the wintery wind...
...then turned into a thousand blades and pierced my heart.
It aches...
My heart aches.
Fair and square, huh?
Duel
Noble like the white lily...
A strange rose's color is ruined...
Yaya-chan didn't come to practice again...
Like green leaves growing out in the field.
How unfortunate...
Shizuma-sama...
Ètoile-sama...
Nagisa.
Is this going to wither up and die?
No, I'm sure it will beautifully blossom again.
You're right.
Is Amane-sama going to run for the Ètoile election?
I definitely want to see her in the election.
If Amane-sama could be the Ètoile, wouldn't it be wonderful?
I heard a rumor that Kaname-sama and Momomi-sama are going to run.
I think they're both wonderful...
...but I still want Amane-sama to be the Ètoile.
Ètoile election is approaching soon.
It seems like it.
Did you make up your mind?
If you become the Ètoile, I think it would be wonderful.
Students at Spica will be very happy.
I...
It's your turn now.
You become an Ètoile...
...and you get something that can only be gained by becoming the Ètoile.
I...
It's coming up soon.
What?
The Ètoile election.
Right...
It sounds fun.
With each day, we're getting closer to becoming the Ètoile.
You're right...
Looks like Amane won't be running, and we don't have any rivals.
We've practically won this thing.
Can you call it a victory without even fighting?
What?
How come Amane is not running in the Ètoile election?
Oh, it's nothing.
Good job.
Hikari-chan, the president of student council wants to see you.
Toumori-sama?
For the Ètoile elections, Amane senpai...
I guess she hasn't decided yet.
But I'm sure she has been influenced.
I see...
If she decides to run, then I wonder who will be her partner.
But I'm not...
I know Amane-san thinks you're very special.
You know that, right?
It's very nice to hear you say that.
That's why I want you to convince Amane-san to run.
Hikari-san?
I'm scared.
Scared?
But Amane-san cares about you too...
If Amane senpai said it...
If that's what Amane senpai wants...
...then I'll be more than happy to be her partner.
I can't force her to do this...
I'm scared...
Yaya-chan.
What?
You didn't come to choir practice again.
Why don't you come?
You'll come tomorrow, right?
Yaya-chan...
Shizuma.
I have to talk to you.
Talk?
Deciding who will represent Miator for the Ètoile election this year.
It's about their candidate.
I'll leave it up to you.
Are you sure?
I don't care who becomes the next Ètoile.
Fine.
Then I'll decide who will represent them.
According to my research, this year's Ètoile election is quite confusing.
Miator, Spica, Le Rim.
The next Ètoile could be from any one of them.
Yeah...
But if you think about the person who will succeed Shizuma-sama...
...then the choices are rather limited.
Amane-sama of Spica and Chikaru-sama of Le Rim.
As for Miator...
It might be difficult for them to win this year.
You're right...
I can't picture anyone other than Shizuma-sama as the Ètoile.
You're right...
I'm challenging you to a duel.
A duel?
I have no reason to have a duel with you.
I want you to have a duel with me.
Please.
Fine.
I appreciate it.
It will be 4 points per game.
First one to get 6 games will be the winner.
Got it?
Got it.
Here we go.
That was an ace.
I win the first point.
Love-fifteen.
Not bad!
That's what I expect from you, Amane!
Yaya-chan...
I was looking for you.
Hey, Yaya-chan...
Why won't you come to choir practice?
Everyone is waiting for you.
Including myself, of course...
They want to hear your singing voice.
I can't sing.
What?
I can't sing anymore.
Yaya-chan?
Don't you think it's about time...
...to tell me what this duel is all about?
I hate you.
I know how you feel.
No, you don't.
You're always ahead of me.
I'm always losing to you!
That's not true.
It's true!
It's true, Amane!
You may not have realized...
...but ever since you came to Spica, I have never felt victorious against you!
I hate you.
I wanted to beat you.
I wanted to take away the things you had!
I wanted to take them away so that you know what it's like to be defeated!
That's why I even tried to take Hikari away from you!
I wanted to beat you!
Amane-sama and Kaname-sama?
Why? What do you mean you can't sing?
Hikari?
Why?
My song and my feelings...
I know they'll never reach...
I have no reason to sing.
I can't sing.
What do you mean they'll never reach?
They'll never reach your heart...
Amane-sama!
Kaname-sama!
What is going on?
What is the meaning of this?
Amane, why don't you run for the Ètoile election?
I'm not interested!
Is that all?
I don't want to be in a higher position!
Ridiculous!
You have to run for the Ètoile election!
You are the chosen one!
A chosen one has to fulfill their destiny!
Destiny?
If my song can't reach you...
Yaya-chan...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Yaya-chan.
Why are you apologizing?
I'm sorry...
Don't apologize.
I hurt you so much.
I'm really sorry.
Stop apologizing!
I'm sorry for making you suffer so much.
I said stop apologizing! Why are you doing this?
Because I worry about you...
I just don't want to see you suffer.
I love listening to your singing voice!
Good luck!
Amane-sama!
Kaname-sama!
Take a look at them, Amane.
Those fierce look in their eyes!
Some of them are directed at me!
But most of them are directed towards you!
They can't be...
You're the star!
You're able to surpass a person like me.
You're the real star!
I love your singing voice.
Hikari...
But I'm sorry.
I love Amane senpai!
I love her...
I know.
It's all right.
I want you to be like that.
That's why I can't sing anymore.
No, don't say that!
Don't tell me you'll never sing again!
You have to sing, Yaya-chan!
You have to keep on singing!
I can't sing...
But...
I can't sing...
It's warm, isn't it?
Well?
What do you mean?
It's warm, isn't it?
You're right.
That's because there's plenty of good things stored inside!
Good things?
Are you talking about Amane-sama?
It's not just Amane senpai!
Like the day I came to Spica. Or the first time that I met you.
Or joining the choir.
Even your songs...
I have them stored right here! That's why my heart feels warm!
Don't say that you can't sing for me!
Hikari...
Your singing voice doesn't belong only to me!
Please sing!
Then your heart will become warm!
Plus, everyone who listens to your voice...
Their hearts will become warm too. Many people's hearts will become warm!
No, not just warm. Their hearts will become unbearably hot!
So, I want you to sing!
I give up...
Yaya-chan?
Since you want me to sing that much...
I have no choice but to sing.
A star must meet many expectations.
They want you to run for the Ètoile election.
They want you to be the next Ètoile!
I have no interest in becoming the Ètoile.
I'm not saying this for you!
I'm saying this for them!
They have dreams about you!
You're their admiration, courage, and their will to live!
You must rise for many people!
For many people...
And that is going to excite their hearts!
You're the only one who can do that, Amane!
Me?
And my heart will become excited as well.
Kaname, you...
You're keeping an eye on Amane that much?
It's only natural to keep an eye on your rival.
For the longest time, you cared about Amane...
But why are you doing this?
Geez, this is why I don't like you.
No wonder Hikari has such a hard time.
I promise you, Hikari.
I will sing.
Okay!
So, I want you to promise me too...
...that you will show some courage.
Promise me that you will be happy with Amane-sama.
Yaya-chan...
Okay.
Hikari senpai! Yaya senpai!
Amane-san and Kaname-san are having a duel?
Nagisa-oneesama.
They have won 5 games each.
The one who wins this game is the winner.
Run for the Ètoile election, Amane!
Please.
Not for me, but for many others...
It's your turn now.
...and you get something that can only be gained by becoming the Ètoile.
What would that be?
That's something you can't find by yourself.
Something I can't find on my own...
Do it for Hikari!
Amane!
I...
Amane-san is the winner!
I guess I can't beat you after all.
You win. You did great.
Kaname.
I'll run for the Ètoile election.
That's what I wanted to see, Amane.
Go on, Hikari.
Okay.
Yes, Amane senpai.
Forgive me, Momomi.
I decided which candidates will represent Miator for the Ètoile election.
You didn't have to tell me.
One of them is the fourth-year student, Tamao Suzumi.
And her partner is...
Nagisa...
Don't you just feel happy for Hikari?
Yes.
Bird that can't fly...
Separated from the flock...
Yaya-chan...
It travels down a long road...
...and even if it gets lost...
...the small light from the stars...
...will warm up the bird.
Yaya-chan...
...will warm up the bird.
Lonely nights will be forever gone...
...and in the morning, the bird will take off.
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
If you stay in the room when it's raining or stormy outside...
...don't you just feel that this room becomes the entire world?
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean!
And in that case, the outside might be the sea...
...and this room is the boat that is drifting along the sea.
Way to go, Tamao-chan! That's very romantic!
We're two captains on this ship, and two passengers as well.
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Maze."
No matter how stormy the sea may be, as long as we have each other...
