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.
Miator is going to pass up on the opportunity to run for the Ètoile election?
That will never be tolerated.
And so, I have to do everything I can to persuade those two.
No matter what...
This is the last job for me as the president of student council.
Maze
Excuse me.
What is this important discussion about?
I picked out candidates representing Miator for the Ètoile election.
What?
One of them is you.
Tamao Suzumi.
I see...
I've been thinking that you should succeed Shizuma for the longest time.
Rokujyo-sama...
And your partner will be...
Nagisa Aoi.
I'm sure everyone in Miator will approve of you and Nagisa-san.
But Nagisa-chan doesn't know.
Yes.
She's deeply involved with Shizuma, so I wanted to talk to you first.
If you agree to accept this offer, then I'm thinking of talking to Nagisa about it.
Um...
I'm very honored to be chosen to represent Miator...
...and there's nothing that makes me happier than this.
Then you will...
No, it's not that!
Nagisa-chan and Shizuma-sama...
I know how much she loves Ètoile-sama...
...and how much she's hurt because of Shizuma-sama.
I know her best since I'm always with her!
So please don't make us run for the Ètoile election!
Please don't do anything to hurt Nagisa-chan anymore.
I know how you feel about trying to protect Nagisa-san.
But I really want you two to run.
For Miator.
But...
Please.
It's also good for Nagisa.
By March, both Shizuma and I will graduate and leave this hill of Astraea.
But with the way things are, I'm worried about Nagisa.
That's why no matter how tough it might be...
...I want her to get over Shizuma and become an important figure.
I believe she can do it.
Rokujyo-sama...
Tamao-chan, what did you talk about with Rokujyo-san?
What? Oh, it's really nothing important.
I just helped the student council with some job.
Oh, I see.
Yes...
Let's hurry back.
Yes.
Yes, I'm going to have Nagisa-san do it no matter what.
You sound very confident.
It's my mission.
Mission?
You remember what you said before?
You said I can decide who will be running.
You're right.
So you need to go along with what I decided.
You got it, Shizuma?
We decided at the board meeting held today...
...that you will be the candidate for the Ètoile election.
Thank you very much.
Well, then tomorrow...
...you will have to announce your partner in front of the entire school...
...and tell them that you're officially running in the Ètoile election.
Got it?
Yes...
Hey, Amane-san, Hikari-san is going to be fine, right?
Of course.
Now, we can finally have an Ètoile from Spica.
Tomorrow?
Right.
There's something I need to tell you...
...before I announce to everyone that I'm running in the Ètoile election.
Amane senpai...
Do you remember the place where we first met?
Yes.
Good morning.
G-Good morning.
I believe you're the third-year student...
It's Hikari. Hikari Konohana.
Right! Hikari-chan.
I'll never forget that day.
Me too.
Well, I'll see you at that place.
Amane senpai...
Chikaru-oneesama!
Tomorrow, Amane-san is going to announce to the entire school...
...at Spica that she's running for the Ètoile election!
Where did she go?
Ta-dah!
I wonder who her partner is going to be.
It just might be Hikari-chan.
Amane-san and Hikari-chan would make great partners.
But I'm more interested in finding out who will represent Miator.
Me too.
So do we.
So cute. Did you make them, Chikaru-oneesama?
Yeah!
They look good, don't they? Maybe I should start my own handicraft club.
I agree! Let us be a part of the club!
Tamao-chan, did you hear?
Tomorrow, Amane-san is going to announce that she's running.
Yes...
No one is going to represent Miator?
I-I don't know.
I wonder what will happen.
Then Amane-san and Hikari-chan are going to win this thing.
I heard that Le Rim won't be sending anyone...
...and those two are a great match, so I'm sure they'll be a wonderful Ètoile.
Coming.
May I come in?
I have some important things to talk about to you, Nagisa-san.
Yes?
Rokujyo-sama...
She decided to represent Miator in the Ètoile election.
Right, Tamao-san?
What?
T-Tamao-chan?
Tamao-chan, you're running in the Ètoile election?
No, well...
Why did you have to keep it a secret?
Hey, who is going to be your partner? I didn't know you had a partner!
It's you, Nagisa-san.
What?
You.
What? Me?
Yes, you.
Tamao-chan and I are running in the Ètoile election?
I really want you to be in it.
No... you have to be in it no matter what.
But I...
Throughout the history of Miator...
...we've always had a representative for the Ètoile election.
That's why we have to have someone representing us again.
But...
You two are the only ones who can compete against Amane-san of Spica.
I really like Tamao-chan.
She's my most important friend and I want to associate with her forever...
Nagisa-chan...
But...
I know you can't forget about Shizuma.
But you have to forget about her.
I don't want you to keep holding onto Shizuma.
I want you to forget about your feelings for Shizuma and run for Ètoile.
I'm sure that's what Shizuma wants.
Shizuma is fine with you and Tamao-san running in the election.
Ètoile-sama is?
Yes.
Really?
There's no reason for me to lie.
Nagisa-chan!
Nagisa-chan?
Rokujyo-sama, why did you tell Nagisa-chan about Ètoile-sama?
No matter how I persuade Nagisa-san...
...she's going to end up getting hurt anyway.
That's why I told her the truth.
But this is too harsh.
Nagisa-chan!
She's nowhere to be found.
I wonder where she went.
Shizuma is fine with you and Tamao-san running in the election.
I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan...
I'm sorry.
If I hadn't accepted this offer...
...this never would've happened.
Ètoile-sama?
Nagisa?
Shizuma-sama!
Good luck.
You're running in the Ètoile election, right?
No! I don't want to be the Ètoile.
I never even thought about becoming one!
Plus, I'm not good enough to be the Ètoile.
I'm not even qualified for that position!
Oh, but you and Tamao-san make a great pair.
That's why you should listen to Miyuki and enter the Ètoile election.
I'm sure you can be a wonderful Ètoile.
No! I don't want this!
I don't want to run by lying to myself!
If I did that, then Tamao-chan...
No, not just Tamao-chan...
It would be rude for the people of Miator and Le Rim!
I... l...
I just wanted you to tell me one thing.
To not enter the Ètoile election! Even if you didn't really mean it...
I mean... I still have feelings for you, Ètoile-sama!
Thank you.
I feel honored.
Hey, the key...
What?
Do you have it?
I'm sorry!
I was going to give it back once I got back from the cottage...
...but I never had the opportunity to do so.
Shizuma-sama...
Goodbye...
You should just forget about me.
Nagisa...
Goodbye...
You should just forget about me.
You'll catch a cold, Nagisa-chan.
Chikaru-san...
They're cold...
I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to see Rokujyo-sama...
...and tell her we're not going to run.
She cried herself to sleep.
She must've experienced something very painful.
Let's hope she goes back to being happy like usual.
Yeah.
Morning...
Nagisa-chan...
Nagisa-chan!
Where have you been?
I was really worried about you!
I'm sorry, Tamao-chan.
I had various reasons...
Chikaru-san stayed with me till the morning.
Well, Nagisa-chan. We're heading back.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Let's play together again.
Yeah, certainly.
Bye.
I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan.
This is all my fault.
Why? You didn't do anything wrong.
No, I'm heading over to Rokujyo-sama to tell her we're not competing.
Hey, Tamao-chan.
Yes?
Let's do it.
Ètoile election...
Nagisa-chan?
We'll represent Miator.
But...
You see...
I cried all night, and now I feel so much better.
I feel I can forget about Ètoile-sama.
I don't want to stay in the same place forever.
There's no use crying over spilled milk.
I have to take the first step on my own.
Then I feel like the whole world might change.
Tamao-chan.
So, will you run with me?
Yes...
I see. Those two...
Yes, they came and told me about it.
So, you won the bet.
This is all because of you.
Now we don't have to feel ashamed of not sending anyone for the election.
It's going to get busy from here on.
They need to tell the entire school that they're going to run.
Well, you'll have to excuse me.
Shizuma! What's going on, Shizuma?
Shizuma! Shizuma!
What happened? Open the door!
Shizuma!
Shizuma! Hey! What's going on?
Tell me what happened!
Shizuma! Open this door!
Shizuma! Shizuma!
Hey, Shizuma!
It's nothing...
Shizuma?
So, I want you to leave...
Leave...
Hikari, I can finally tell you my true feelings at the place where we first met.
Amane senpai!
Hikari!
She's the most important person in the world to me.
I have nothing to fear anymore.
From here on, we'll always be together!
Amane senpai!
Hikari!
Amane senpai!
Amane senpai! Amane senpai!
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 we were to travel on board a ship together...
...what kinds of things should we bring?
Rice, snacks, fruits...
You're bringing so much food.
What do you think is necessary for a trip, Tamao-chan?
I would like a lamp.
On a dark night, I'd like to sit by the light and talk to you.
That's a great idea!
On the next episode of Strawberry Panic, "Circle of Fate."
But no scary stories, okay?
