Now that I notice it, you're always there next to me,
but do I actually hate you? Love you?
Or am I delusional?
When I take a look at my feelings clearly,
whether I'm a lady or a host,
it doesn't matter to me.
People fall in love for all sorts of different reasons, but...
I want to see you now,
to give your tender self cherry-blossom kisses,
and if your heart beats faster, let's let our love bloom.
Right now is more vital than the future.
The springtime of love's beauty
is the aesthetic of a damsel in bloom.
Your daughter is incredibly brilliant.
She leaves nothing to be desired
as an honor student here at Ouran Academy.
The problem is that she's too brilliant.
She went through the advancement and entrance exams all on her own.
And when that was done, she said that she would
do all of the paperwork up to today's admission,
all on her own, and that "Dad, you don't have to come with me."
Is that right?
Uh, Haruhi-san, I need to talk to your father for a moment,
so why don't you go look around the academy while we do that?
Although, being spring break, there aren't many people here right now.
Go do so. Dad will see to it that all the paperwork is in place.
Very well.
Indeed. If the child turns out too well,
the parent might get lonesome, huh?
I wonder if she'll enjoy herself here.
"Music Room #3"
"Powerful motor"
No doubt about it.
That's a rabbit.
What's more, it's a stuffed animal.
"Eh?!"
"Haruhi in Wonderland!"
Whew, I'm safe.
Ow-w-w...
It's no use, I can't get it off.
Ahem...
I can't seem to get this pot off of me.
Could you lend me a hand?
Hey, wait!
He disappeared...
...or not!
Where did that boy come from?
Does this mean that the only exit...
...is that doorway?
"Female"?
Banana?
Ba-na-na!!
"Caution"
Now I'm in a pool?
--You cried so much, huh? --Huh?
The water in this pool all comes
from heartfelt tears that you have shed.
You truly have gone through
a lot of hardships and loneliness, huh?
Be that as it may, you'd best hurry on out of there.
You'll be eaten.
What were those just now?
I-I don't understand this.
I have to hurry and get back to my original size...
Huh? Am I already back to it?
One side makes you bigger.
One side makes you smaller.
What are you talking about?
It won't be cheap. Look.
We have a guest arriving.
Um, may I have a bit of the mushroom?
Yeah, and settle up with me at the end of the month.
You are at least thorough financially, huh?
What is it that you're always writing in your file?
What, you ask? Everything.
"Always"?
This is the first time we've ever met.
Why would you say that?
Why?
Huh?
Why, indeed?
Smaller...
Growing bigger...
No, that's not what's meant by growing bigger...
Oh, no!
The baby is going off somewhere by himself!
It doesn't have anything to do with me.
She fell down, she fell down!
I am the Duchess.
That woman making banana soup over there is my cook.
That, lying over there, is my cat.
I had no idea that cats could smirk like that.
Why do I have to be the cook?!
I've had it! I'm always the villain,
and you're always enjoying yourselves!
Tamaki-sama, you idiot!
Are you that baby's mother, then?
Are you concerned about this boy?
I'm glad your mother has been found.
Really glad...
Being with your mother
really is the best thing there is.
Well, I have to be going now.
Will you look after the boy?
"Powerful motor"
Where are you going?
I've been summoned to appear before the court.
Court?
Did you really think that doll was the Duchess's child?
What's the meaning of--
Mr. Cat...
Um...
Over here.
Surprised?
Uh... yeah.
I am able to disappear...
...and reappear like this.
That's amazing.
So, there's something I'd like to ask.
Which way should I go?
That depends...
...on where you want to go.
I want to go home.
Back to where I was before.
Going home without having an audience with the Queen...
...is not allowed in this place.
Who is the Queen?
The Queen...
...is the one who...
...you might say...
...rules this world.
I can't talk when you won't stand still,
so both of you, come on out together.
Both of us?
What do you mean?
Okay, fine.
I hope he comes back soon.
Ahem...
There aren't any seats.
Yes, there aren't any seats.
--There aren't any-- --Seats, right?
Hey, you! Don't go skipping ahead on your own!
We're just joking!
There are lots of seats, see?
There's something I wanted to ask.
Your hair is long, huh?
Huh?
I like your hair like that,
but unfortunately,
you're really going to have to cut it shorter.
Would you mind leaving my hairstyle out of this?
You're wearing a skirt today, huh?
Despite any appearances, I am a girl.
Not that it matters either way.
If you eat nothing but sweets like that,
you're bound to get cavities.
Be sure to brush your teeth.
Mm-hmm.
So nose bubbles do pop...
A riddle!
A riddle?
How is it that fancy tuna and lean tuna are similar?
Because they're the same thing.
Wrong! That is completely wrong!
Sure enough, even in dreams, commoners are still commoners.
Hey there! How would you like some wine?
The drinking of alcohol by minors is prohibited by law.
I guess having her character play Alice was asking too much.
There are some subtle disparities, huh?
Still...
She's cute, huh?
She sure is.
It is always 3:00 p.m. here.
That means it's always snack time.
Um, where exactly is this place?
I came here with my dad
to do the paperwork to enroll in Ouran Academy.
A riddle.
How is it that your father and I are similar?
Are you alike?
This is Ouran Academy, right?
What will you do, once you enroll?
Once you're enrolled at Ouran, what will you do?
What will I do? I'm going to study.
--What else? --What else?
Are you just going to study?
Well, yeah.
--Why? --Why?
Why?
There's a dream that I want to have come true.
I entered Ouran because I want to study to that end.
That's admirable. What's the dream you want to have come true?
--When I grow up, I-- --Still,
there's more to the life of a student than just studying, isn't there?
What else is there?
There are other things, right?
--Fun things. --Fun things?
Fun things.
--Fun things. --Fun things.
Fun things...
What's that?
Court has begun.
Court?
The Duchess is going to be executed.
What for?
It's the whim of the Queen, I suppose.
That is absolutely not right!
Sure enough, even in dreams, Haru-chan is Haru-chan, huh?
Nice.
The accused, the Duchess,
came to us by availing herself of an invitation,
as we were holding a music festival.
Do you admit your crime?
Is that a crime?!
Who are you?
I am...
I am the lawyer for the accused!
It is my job to appear at social functions, Your Majesty.
Even while leaving your precious child unattended?
Your crime is to leave your child alone,
even if it was for work,
and to make him feel lonesome.
No, Queen, that is incorrect.
When a parent is really busy,
a child understands these things.
They don't, by any means, blame others.
Besides, if you execute her,
then what is going to become of the child?
This is a court of law,
not a place for emotional outbursts!
If judgment is made without emotions,
then you can leave it to a machine!
There would be no need for judges, or lawyers!
That's pretty insolent.
And are you even qualified to be a lawyer in the first place?
More importantly, are you not guilty, yourself?
Very well, I will expose the crime of this so-called lawyer, first.
My crime?
This is the Renaissance vase that you broke.
That's the one from earlier...
But it wasn't broken.
At the time, it was definitely unbroken.
Maybe not that time,
but you are indeed the one who broke it.
I'm telling you, I'm not the one who broke--
Huh?
Witnesses!
If you know anything about the crime of this
self-professed lawyer, then testify!
I will testify, King.
You're that man from earlier...
This girl has a mistaken understanding of student life.
Huh?
Study, study, and more study.
She does not even try a little bit to enjoy her daily life.
You enjoy yourself too much, Tamaki-senpai!
What is this?
How is it that you know my name?
How do you know my name?
How do you know his name?
How do you know it?
How do I know?
You knew that we were twins, too.
You knew about my secret file, too, huh?
And about my cavity, too.
How...
How?
Well, I...
Don't you understand yet?
I'm glad you've made so many...
...fine friends.
Dad...
Then that means...
Then that means you're...
It couldn't be...
You've gotten bigger, huh?
I'm sorry to put you through so much trouble.
Enjoy your dream-like student life now,
to make up for it.
Mom...
Haruhi...
This is unusual, huh? You dozing off...
It's almost time for our guests to arrive.
Hurry and get ready.
A dream-like student life, huh? I have to admit, around here,
there's not much difference whether I'm awake or asleep.
I can run for 5000 miles, until I'm out of breath.
100 liters of adrenaline keeps the body working at full strength.
Having come this far, is it enough? How far until it's okay?
The trees that imbue the streets of this town
keep repeatedly changing their appearance.
In completely washed-out pallor, and unchanging frailty,
I want to believe in myself, as I am here and now.
With my right hand, and my left hand, held over my head,
I tear through the darkness and go!
There is no deceit!
I've made my resolve!
From the moment I make my start, the world expands.
Rejoice, Haruhi! Ouran Host Club is about to be featured in the media!
Don't you mean we're being covered by the School Newspaper Club?
Next time, "Covering the Famous Host Club!"
Ouran High School Host Club will be waiting for you, next week!
