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.
"School Fair (43rd Ouran Fair)"
"The morning before the fair"
"Preparing for the opening ceremony"
Take all of the tables to the salon in the central building.
--Right. --Ah, be careful with that.
Um... aren't school fairs supposed to be more, I don't know,
homemade-looking, like we've made everything on our own?
You're talking about schools in general.
What gets emphasized at Ouran Fair is planning and leadership.
Most of the students here are expected to be future leaders by nature,
so they are required to impress everyone with their strengths.
Whoa, whoa!
That was good. We can turn them over to you now.
Haru-chan!
Climb aboard, Haruhi!
We're rehearsing for Ouran Fair's special parade!
"Horse-drawn carriage?"
Look, look, it's the boys from the Host Club!
--How fantastic! --How fantastic!
I want to ride with them, too!
Hey, you've gotten so you can handle this, huh?
Kaoru, you should have come practiced with me.
Well, even twins will start to have different interests and strong suits.
It's kind of fun to have all of us riding in a carriage like this, huh?
Is it?
In the actual parade tomorrow,
we're going to wow them with medieval French outfits.
We even have a real flashy costume for you, Haruhi.
Flashy, you say?
Well now, the opening ceremony is starting.
Let's make this Ouran Fair one for the school history books.
Sure.
"The Host Club Declares Dissolution!"
"Ouran Fair Opening Ceremony"
"Central Building Salon"
"The Host Club is open to the general public"
Remember,
as a special event during the school fair,
the Host Club will be open to all of the parents and visitors,
so for today and tomorrow,
we will entertain them even more extravagantly,
and in full bloom than usual.
Look, Mother, this is the Host Club I'm always telling you about.
Isn't it fantastic?
I'm not so sure. To have them be fussed over by all the girls,
just because they may be somewhat good-looking...
Indeed, madam. It is true, that may be indefensible.
After all, the real purpose of this club is nothing more
"Gently..."
than meeting our selfish desires to spend even the slightest moment
with beautiful flowers such as yourself, madam.
Oh, my...
W-What a fantastic club you have here!
"Open for business using counter-madam tactics"
Yes, you do!
Thank you very much, madam.
Good grief.
Your button has come undone, Mitsukuni.
Thank you.
My, how heartwarming!
I'm sure they must be brothers. What a thoughtful older brother he is.
Wrong!
Father and Mother are both so busy all the time,
so we spent most of our time alone, just the two of us.
That is why we have both become so hopelessly lonesome.
"Sob..."
- Oh, you poor boys! - Oh, you poor boys!
Which mouth are they speaking out of?
In this club, one of our themes is to acquire societal culture,
so we are able to research a wide variety of customs, pastimes,
and historic traditional dress from countries all over, on a daily basis.
Oh, that is wonderful.
What an unashamedly politic thing to say.
I have to say, this sure is a ritzy event.
It's too much money to be spent on a mere school fair.
What are you talking about? This grand campaign strategy is a chance
to show off the charm of the Ouran Host Club
far and wide, throughout the world!
"Pinch!"
You're right, in that we have overspent our budget on this.
Kyoya...
Use of this salon notwithstanding,
we had a classic carriage flown in all the way from France.
As is always the case,
I don't know how to deal with all of your capricious plans.
Isn't that the truth?
Haruhi! Hey, you be quiet!
The whims of the Host King are the whims that make everyone happy!
Welcome.
May I bring you something sweet to eat?
You are a member of the Host Club?
Yes.
Father!
"Father" is too familiar. Address me as "Superintendent" while at school.
"School Board Chairman Yuzuru Suou"
Besides, I am here as a guest today.
"...Tamaki's father..."
Welcome, Superintendent.
Come, please take this seat over here.
Thank you.
Kyoya-kun, this club owes everything to your management, doesn't it?
My son must give you no end of trouble.
Not at all. The Host Club is here because of him.
Can I get you anything?
"Whisper"
Yes... yes... as you wish.
Haruhi, you have a request.
What?!
So, you're Fujioka Haruhi-kun, are you?
Come, have a seat.
By your leave.
This man is Tamaki-senpai's father?
They don't look that much alike...
I'm pleased to meet you. I was thinking
that I should have paid my respects to you sooner, Superintendent.
"Superintendent" is so stuffy. You can... yes...
You can call me... "Uncle."
He's Tamaki-senpai's father, all right.
I've been so busy, I haven't been able to get around the campus much,
but I am always hearing about how exceptional you are.
Why, thank you.
If ever you have any trouble,
feel free to come tell your uncle at any time.
--Sure... --Father!
Call me "Superintendent"!
What are you doing?!
Remove your hands at once, please!
Kyoya-senpai!
This is the sort of ridiculous club you've been in?
That's Kyo-chan's father, right?
Yeah.
"Yoshio Otori"
Are you trying to embarrass me?
"Kyoya's father"
If it isn't Suou-san. I'm sorry you had to see that.
That was pretty harsh, as exceptional as Kyoya-kun is.
For someone who has four such fine children,
your avarice does run deep, indeed.
I've heard the news.
It's only a matter of time before the press starts making noise.
Please tell me you weren't taking it out on him.
Kyoya, are you okay?
What a mean papa!
Yeah, to hit someone wearing glasses like that.
No, that's not what he meant.
Did he hit you because you are in the Host Club?
It's all right.
I've been expecting it.
It was because... of the Host Club?
Your capriciousness carries a high price.
Standing in a position of greater responsibility than regular people
also means that you are no longer free to pursue
the matters you like, the items you like, or the people you like.
Haruhi-kun!
Yes?
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule
to come visit us at the Host Club today.
What do you want to do from here on?
Do you want to take over the Suou family?
That would be a difficult choice.
I still have not been able to find the answer.
Do you really know what it is that you want most?
Look.
Your grandmother has come.
Grandmother! You were good enough to come!
Wow, that woman is Tamaki-senpai's grandmother?
I hate that woman.
Come, have a seat inside.
Do not touch me.
You disgust me.
Eclair-san, come over here.
Oh, I was just...
Who is she?
For the duration of the school fair today and tomorrow,
you are to escort Lady Eclair here.
"Eclair Tonnerre"
Is something wrong? I'm telling you to.
I'm in your hands, Tamaki.
Very well, Grandmother.
I will do everything within my power
to see that she will be happy.
Tama-chan isn't coming back, huh?
Is he seriously planning to escort...
...that girl for the duration of the school fair?
Come, my princess,
let's be off.
Her name was Eclair, or something like that...
...but who is that girl?
I know that girl.
Renge-chan...
Eclair Tonnerre, the third daughter of the renowned
French Tonnerre family, which descends from royalty.
Renge-kun, you did grow up in France, too, and all.
Yes, the Tonnerre family doesn't simply have high social standing,
they are also the owners of Grand Tonnerre, the company
that the financial world has been clamoring over of late,
for being a foreign-funded firm, rapidly buying up businesses in our country.
Of course,
we do not know why their daughter has come here to see Tamaki...
What do you think?
The idea is to enjoy a leisurely cruise on a gondola,
while being able to admire the works of the members of the Art Club.
It's boring. I don't care about any student works.
That's pretty harsh. But I don't know what I can do.
Ouran Fair is a fair for the students.
Where might I show you that would please you?
I want to hear you play the piano, Tamaki.
Please.
We do not know why their daughter has come here to see Tamaki...
In here?
It is a music room, after all.
This is the room where you always conduct your Host Club thing?
I was watching you in the salon, and you all seem to get along very well.
That is because the Host Club is like a coming together of family.
In Japan, they call pretending to have a real family,
even when it isn't one, "playing house," don't they?
Tamaki, you are making everyone else
suffer because of your capriciousness, aren't you?
I mean, that host with the glasses was even struck by his papa, right?
I don't know how to deal with all of your capricious plans.
Is it possible that everyone is actually
having to secretly give up various other things?
It's true, Haruhi, who wants to spend every minute she has
studying to be a lawyer, has been made to give up her precious time,
forced to attend club activities day in and day out.
Who is it?
Haruhi? What are you doing?
I came back here to change outfits.
Senpai, you were the one who said to change three times a day, right?
To neglect the salon now, after being the one to tell us to do so,
everyone is upset at you.
Oh, my apologies. Tamaki belongs to me right now.
But then, somehow, you seem to be jealous.
Jealous?!
Is that true? Is that true? Is that true, Haruhi?
No, it's not. All right, I'm terribly sorry for disturbing you.
Disturbing us? Hey, Haruhi--
What's this? Tamaki, you'd rather have that little shrew?
How rude! Please do not call my little girl a shrew.
Your little girl...
Your make-believe family is, in the end, just make-believe.
A surrogate.
What are you doing?!
Tamaki, I can give you
the thing that you want most.
--My! --How cute!
Fantastic!
Haru-chan is so cute!
Yeah.
Nice.
Where did his highness go?
He was looking forward to this most of all.
Senpai was in Music Room #3. He was with Lady Eclair.
Oh, what's this?
That sounded a lot like jealousy.
Like I said, it is not!
"Like you said?"
Like you said?
Still, Tamaki-senpai is being a bit irresponsible this time.
Ordinarily, you might call it capriciousness, and it is that...
Well, let's give him a pass.
It was none other than his grandmother that ordered him, after all.
Come, have a seat inside.
Do not touch me.
You disgust me.
True, Tamaki-senpai's grandmother did seem pretty cold to him.
Is there any reason for that?
Well, everyone knows about it...
In short, his highness is an illegitimate love child.
Twenty-some years ago, the head of the Suou family at the time
passed away at a young age.
The superintendent of this school, Mr. Yuzuru, entered into
what could be called a marriage of political convenience
with a woman of his mother's choosing, and succeeded the family.
However, several years later, the superintendent found true love
with a woman that he met in France.
And then, Tama-chan was born.
Mother, I am leaving my wife, and marrying her.
However, his grandma was firmly against it.
His highness's mother is sickly,
and there were other obstacles to having her live in Japan,
so his highness grew up there in France until he was 14.
His highness seems to have had a happy childhood, in its own way,
but as time went on, his mother's family business failed,
and after they had become burdened with a great debt...
...his grandma, who had started worrying about there not being
any heirs to the Suou family, came up with a proposal.
I will provide you with enough money
so that you will be able to live comfortably from now on.
In exchange, send Tamaki to Japan, alone.
Then, you and Tamaki will not be allowed to see each other, ever again.
That is the condition of my assistance.
Wow...
The current head of the Suou family may be Mr. Yuzuru,
but in actuality, the highest power still belongs
to its director, the grandmother.
What's more, Tamaki's mother being of frail health,
she knew what would happen if she was left destitute
without the Suous' assistance.
And so...
I'm going. I'm going to Japan, alone.
It will be all right. Please, Mom,
take care.
Afterward, whether out of sadness,
or over guilt for having traded Tamaki for money,
his mother apparently moved away somewhere, and went into hiding.
Currently, her whereabouts are unknown.
And so, ever since, Tamaki has not seen his mother even once.
I won't ever be able to see Mom again?
I never knew. He's always so cheerful,
I didn't know he'd had such a painful upbringing.
If I had been Tamaki-senpai,
I wonder if I could keep from resenting my grandmother.
It's easy to feel sorry for him,
but I'm glad that Tamaki is who he is now.
He will be fine.
Having accepted everything he's been through, he is here now,
in the Host Club.
Ah, Tama-chan!
I have an important announcement for everyone.
I have decided to get engaged to Lady Eclair Tonnerre here.
Further, the Host Club will be dissolved following Ouran Fair.
That is all.
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.
To be honest, I thought that you were all just the strangest people.
I mean, serving as hosts, in a club, after school?
The final episode, "This is Our Ouran Fair!"
All of you, I...
