Mahoro!
Suguru!
I want to go back. To that house...
To those people...
To that life...
I want to go back.
Mahoro!
Mahoro! Mahoro!
Slash?!
Sheesh, my masters are crazy!
It's all yours, Ryuga!
This will repay my debt to you!
Ray Blade!
That's...
Episode 11
A Wish, The Color of Cherry Blossoms
Why does it always turn out this way?!
It's incomprehensible! And most annoying!
So, so you survived, did you? Make preparations for our escape.
Unfortunately, there's only room for one person.
In that case, you'll remain here.
What's the meaning of this?
I still have a mission to carry out, you see.
What are you saying?
I must deliver the data acquired here today to Dr. Cyanan.
Actually, the Doctor said that he'd like to go over the results of your research to date.
Damn you, 227, you're...!
I really wanted you to call me Feldrance.
The thing is, Professor, it was you who made me this way.
I pulled the trigger.
A Saint warrior was using Commander Misato as a shield, and I...
I killed him.
Mahoro...
I've been hiding that the whole time I've been with you.
It's all right.
And that's not all.
That bellflower person I saw... That was you, wasn't it?
I knew.
I could see that it was all connected.
Why you came to my house and the feelings that brought you there.
And why you always looked so sad.
So don't... Don't cry.
So, you're Suguru Misato.
I'm truly sorry that our lack of ability put you through all this.
Don't mention it. But how are Mahoro and Minawa doing?
I'm sorry, perhaps I should introduce myself first.
I'm Hayato Daimon, Vesper Commander.
And I'm Deputy Commander Yoshihiko Gunji.
We owe a great deal to your father, the previous commander.
So, everything that Mahoro said was true, then.
I'm sorry. We've put you through a terrible ordeal.
Mahoro, is she... Is she all right?
N o V i s i t o r s
It was necessary to hospitalize her to run a few tests,
...but she says she wants to resume her duties as soon as possible.
Her duties?
In other words, she wants to go back to your house.
Go back? You mean she's coming back home?!
Misato, take good care of Mahoro for us.
About that Management girl... Minawa, I mean.
Was she badly hurt?
Her wounds weren't serious at all.
However...
Big sister's chicks...
Oh, did I wake you?
Big sister, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
What I did to you and Suguru was horrible.
That's all right. Suguru, Slash, and I are all fine.
Just as I always thought,
...you're a girl with a wonderful heart who is always thinking of her friends.
I made a promise to 369 a long time ago.
When 369 died, there wasn't a grave or anything to remember her by,
...but I have the promise that I made.
And so I... I...
You're "Minawa Ando", and you always will be.
This is horrible...
This is plain insanity...
You mean Minawa?
Yes. This is inhuman.
It can't be right to subject a human... No, any living thing to this.
Even without this wound, her whole body should be screaming in pain...
...from all these repeated, insane operations.
I'm amazed that she's managed to endure it.
It's a miracle that she's still alive.
I realize this is none of my business, but is there anything my people can do to help?
You're Ryuga, right?
There may be some means of saving her at Saint's homeland.
Are you sure?
I don't believe we have any right to ask you people to do this.
Now that we're all Terrans, it's embarrassing to have to ask.
I myself am deeply involved in this incident.
Besides, trying to save her may prove to be the catalyst...
...that will point Terrans and Saint down a better path.
Or is that too much to hope for?
Anyway, how is Mahoro?
That's... We're not going to tell you that!
As for Mahoro... Nobody can...
I see.
Once you reach a decision regarding Minawa, let me know.
You don't suppose that Suguru hasn't been told about Mahoro's life span, do you?
If Mahoro hasn't told him herself, it's none of our business.
Besides, that boy has good intuition.
Maybe he already...
Welcome back.
We're home.
Thank you for all you've done for me in the short time I've been here.
I wanted to keep the lies to a minimum,
...so I told the gang that you were really sick...
...and were transferring to another school to get treatment.
I see.
Here, Minawa.
Travel Guide
Why don't we go to a hot spring for a nice, long soak?
Naturally, we'd be going with Miyuki, Rin, Chizu, Kawahara, and Hamaji.
Together... with everyone?
Yes, all together.
Even Ms. Shikijo?
Uh...
Of course. Ms. Shikijo, too.
Hey!
C'mon, c'mon, what's the holdup?
Are you okay, Mahoro?
Yes... I'm sorry.
Are you a little tired? You should go back to the inn.
No, I tripped on the stairs, that's all.
Mahoro and I are gonna head back to the inn.
You guys go on and have fun without us.
Suguru...
Let's go.
Suguru seems stronger than he used to, somehow.
Yeah, he's so much manlier.
What, you still kept yours out of loyalty too, Rin?
He gave all three of us the same keychain in return on White Day, huh?
What do you suppose he gave to Mahoro?
It's bad manners to ask that...
Chizu?
Wha...? Wait, don't tell me you...
No, I'm not gonna let a little thing like this get me down!
You're coming, too.
Why me?
Baths
Open Air Baths
M-Mahoro, what are you doing here?
Um, Miyuki and the girls asked me down just now.
Open Air Baths
And Kawahara asked me to meet him here.
What a coincidence.
It sure is.
W-Well, you take your bath first, Suguru. I'll come back later.
Wait, don't go!
Uh, d-do you think you could wash my back?
Like that time when you first came to my house?
Of course.
Looks like it worked.
Great! Now I can freely wallow in misery!
Anyway, we've got to force them together.
So, here ends four loves, huh?
Please don't put our feelings in the same category as yours, Ms. Shikijo.
Yours are as close to "lust" as you can get.
Grownups are lucky. At times like this, they can turn to alcohol.
Don't give me that! You don't know how hard it is to be an adult.
Still, I have to say that you three sure have become a little more like women.
Huh?
Mahoro?
Is something wrong? Are you feeling sick again?
W-Wait!
I... I'm sorry, Suguru.
I don't understand it. It wasn't like this before.
I feel really, really embarrassed...
W-Well, if I see you feeling that embarrassed, it's gonna make ME embarrassed, too.
I-If you don't want to, that's okay.
I've done all I can. But...
The time you have left is practically zero.
If that's the case, then now more than ever...
I... I want to truly live in the time that I have left.
I came back to you so that I could spend the time left to me being useful to someone.
But I think that I was the one that I really wanted to be happy.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Mahoro, look at that.
At what?
Look, right in the middle of that hill over there.
It's beautiful...
Let's go take a look later.
Of course.
I wonder what those two are up to?
There's no way to tell from here.
What are we gonna do...? You don't think we went too far, do you?
What if they're doing you-know-what right about now?!
If you've totally given up on him, that's for the best!
B-But that's just too much!
When you say "you-know-what", I don't know what.
Um, well...
How can we put it...?
For instance, they...
mumble
And then they...
mumble
And then after that, they...
mumble
Dirty thoughts are bad!
She's her kid sister, all right. She's Mahoro's spitting image.
Stare...
The old squeeze and lift is a mark of feminine smarts!
It's hopeless.
The old squeeze and lift...
...is a mark of feminine smarts!
Ms. Shikijo's always like this, but now Rin's gone screwy, too!
That's so tacky!
Don't hate me 'cause of these!
It's tough to be a girl.
Yeah...
I was only able to stay with you for a short time,
...but I'll always treasure the time I've spent with you.
Once I'm better, I'll definitely come back to you.
So I'm going, but in the sense that I'm just stepping out for a bit.
Oh, I see. Well, come back soon.
Come back soon.
I hope you get better soon.
When you get back, let's have a party, okay?
If you get lost, give us a call.
Prepaid movie tickets?
I got them from Hamaji.
I think some of these might still be good.
But...
It's all right. I'm sure it would make Hamaji happy.
It would?
Yes. I know it would.
Then...
Then...!
What am I gonna do...? I haven't said anything to her yet.
Hamaji.
Um, if it's not too late, would you like to use these?
Minawa...
Thanks... Thank you...
This...
This makes me so happy!
How about this one?
Sure, that one might be good.
This one might be good, too.
It's enormous...
I bet it's been blossoming here year after year for centuries.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to. I don't want to die.
Mahoro stops functioning in...

satellite poem
My crazy "WHOA!" battle cry doesn't just mean that I'm emotionally moved.
The tricky prep work.
The hard labor of always being on your feet.
Salt seasoning that breaks my heart.
Cooking may be lonely work, but you're not alone.
I want to reward that person's hardships with my crazy battle cry.
I want that person to think, "I'm glad I made this."
If I can make someone smile, that's what makes me happy.
