The encounter between Margery Daw and the young boy, Yuri.
As a flame haze, Margery Daw did not
hesitate in sacrificing the life of Yuri,
Satou and Tanaka started to realize the
distance between their world and themselves.
Eh?
Shana, what's wrong?
Yuuji, the color of flame...
The color?
The silver color...
Don't go after Silver.
You know about Silver?
It'd be useless to go after him.
You can't catch up with him, and you won't
find him. He will just appear when it's time.
It can't be... Do you think I will give up just for what you say?
That is... that is all I have now.
Margery-san was going after...
She is still going after him now.
The Silver, does it refer to the color of flame?
Right.
And it's also the reason why Chanter of Elegies became a Flame Haze.
But, why me...
There is no Tomogara with a flame of this color.
So what does it mean?
I don't understand as well.
At present, there is nothing strange about your existences.
Keep the current situation, and wait for the
return of Manipulator of Ten Thousand Ribbons.
Yep.
Yuuji.
You must not use the power of existence before it.
Also limit the training in physical means.
Definitely, we will not let Chanter know about it.
I see.
Torch, Mistes... and now even Silver, eh?
Yuu-chan, you are going to be late.
Alright. I'm off.
See you, take care!
Sakai-kun.
Morning.
Sorry, am I late?
No, I just arrived early.
What about Konoe-san?
Well... it's said that she doesn't feel well.
Eh?
The butler says she would go to school, he
will send her school when she feels better.
I see.
So, after the talk with the committee,
What our class will do in the clear
autumn festival is decided to be these two.
We first year students have to do some kind of serious project at least.
In any case, the themes are simple, we can get it done in about a week.
Senior gave us some tips of running a pancake
stand, so there shouldn't be a problem.
What we have to decide is...
Konoe-san?
We are sorry for being late.
Please take care of her today as well.
Are you alright? I heard that you are not feeling so well.
I am alright.
Sorry for making you worry.
You arrived just in time. We are talking about clear autumn festival.
Clear autumn festival?
I see. So Konoe-san don't know about it?
Ike-kun, explain it to her.
Well, there is nothing special needing an explanation.
Thank you very much.
What?
Ah... nothing.
The festival of clear autumn, in other
words, is a festival held in our school.
It's putting some stands up, and organizing meetings normally.
The opening of the festival is quite special.
The representatives of first-year would put on different
disguises, and parade from the shopping street to the station.
Then after the parade, people would choose a winner..
This is a very high level competition.
They are chosen from the class after all.
They will be seen as a hero and heroine.
Is that so?
Not really interested?
Konoe-san, you are chosen to be one of the
representatives of the class in the parade.
Me?
Yep. With the other seven people here.
Sorry, I was the one who recommended you.
I think if it's Konoe-san, you will be fine in any disguise.
Sakai-san will join, too?
Yes, it seems to be decided by the majority.
Decided by number of votes...
You should just accept it.
konoe-san, you don't need to force yourself if you don't want to.
It's alright, I will do it.
Good, that's the way to go!
Class representative, hurry up and resume the draw.
We got to decide quickly.
Okay.
Well...
The theme of disguise would be The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Romeo and Juliet.
The roles of male's side is already decided.
Tanaka as Lion, Satou as Tin Woodman, I am Scarecrow and Romeo.
And Sakai will act as Romeo.
Also I just got the role of Toto.
All that are left are the roles of Dorothy,
the witch and Juliet. Here, go ahead.
Of all the roles, it turns out to be Juliet.
The partner of Sakai will be selected out of those three people.
So it's deciding who will be Sakai's lover?
Don't say it so strangely.
If I become Juliet, then I can be with Sakai-kun.
Juliet, the role who can stay next to Yuuji...
Go ahead.
Kazumi, congratulations!
To say congratulations...
Because you can play the role as Sakai-kun's lover,
and you won over Shana-chan and Konoe-san.
It's obvious, three people fighting for Sakai-kun.
No, you are mistaken. It's not like that...
Aren't you glad with the result?
This is... well...
I am happy, but...
If it's before, I would be even happier.
But now I won't, because I know it won't be enough.
Shana-chan may think so too.
It's too bad, Shana-chan.
But I am sure Dorothy will suit you well.
I will think about the design.
It's odd. For Yoshida Kazumi being together with
Yuuji, I no longer hate it as much as before.
I don't care about it anymore, I just want to...
I just want Sakai-kun and me to be...
Yoshida-san, I will be looking forward to working with you.
Ah, yes.
I am happy after all, but...
Just reminds me, I wonder if Konoe is alright.
We already got used to parading.
But for her first time in a disguise is...
She may as well exchange the role of Romeo with me...
Yuuji!
What are you saying?
If it's decided then do it well!
Shana?!
It is not about kindness, or things like that!
Yuuji will act in Romeo and Juliet with Yoshida Kazumi, got it?
Okay, I'm sorry.
Shana-chan...
Alright, I am home.
Hi! It's Sakai.
Oh, Yuu-chan?
Basically the preparing tasks after school should be done before 6 o'clock.
If you need to work longer, please fill a request.
Well, though you may need to stay at
the house of someone who lives close by.
Alright.
Eh? So Sakai-kun's mother will help too? That would be a big help.
She said that some costumes are already prepared.
And said that we can take them today.
But here I have to prepare for something else.
Ah, then I will go get it.
Can you take them by yourself?
So Shana-chan can also come with me?
Huh?
We probably...
share the same feelings...
You made Shana angry, and so you want to show her the good side of you?
No, I just happened to recall my mother used to make dresses.
What is it?
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Really? Yuu-chan to play the role as Romeo?
He doesn't fit it very well.
It's not true...
...I think.
Is that so? Romeo is someone who believed that his lover is dead,
then follows her by ending his life. He is such a passionate person.
But Yuu-chan is...
To believe a live person as dead.
He is as stupid as Yuuji, so it fits him.
That's so mean.
After the death of Romeo, Juliet also ended her life.
It's simple. She must want to only stay by him.
That's right. To like someone is to want to be close to him.
Actually, don't you want to hold him tightly?
Although I haven't been able to say it clearly.
Maybe it feels like that.
I don't really understand, but I do hope to be closer.
But in real life, it is something that we can see but can't reach.
How can I say it...
It's like having an invisible wall between us.
A wall that I should be able to break
down... but a wall I don't understand at all.
Yep, I can understand.
It is also very important to think so much.
You can give up if you don't want to,
but it means your feelings can only go that far.
If it is not the case,
if you really want to be close by his side,
Your heart will tell you what to do.
It would be nice if you can stay for dinner.
No, thank you very much.
Thank you.
Our hearts would tell us what to do, eh?
Kazumi, don't turn back and listen to me.
Huh?
We are being followed.
He is not a Tomogara.
But he has been following us from the house of Yuuji.
I want to know who he is, so do what I say.
The way he's following us isn't what average people can do.
Who is he?
That is what I will find out.
This time we will follow him.
That guy, he is retuning to the house of Yuuji.
Eh?
He may do something to Chigusa. We will return first.
It's earlier than I thought.
Oh?
Huh?
He dodged it!
Who the heck are you?
Ouch...
Oh, you got me...
Well... You are strong, young lady.
You...
Father, what are you doing?
Eh?
Father?
How do you do?
I am Sakai Kantarou.
Jeez!
It's Kantarou-san's bad habit.
He has been playing such weird pranks for a while.
Really...
When you return home, shouldn't you just enter the house?
But you just sneaking around, and even following Shana and Yoshida home.
Oh, it's because I have't been home for a long time,
so I want to know more about the usual home.
Well... How can I put it...
That's a hobby.
Seriously...
Please don't go too far.
You are following the girls and scaring them.
What a shame.
But isn't it late? I thought that I should at least guard them home.
Though, I no longer think it's necessary.
Kantarou-san...
Er...
As an apology, please stay for dinner by all means.
Will do.
Itadakimasu.
The tradition in this home is not to
stand on ceremony, just get what you like.
Kantarou-san does the same, right?
All of us enjoying the dinner happily, that would be exciting, right?
Shana and Yoshida, those will be gone if you don't eat fast.
Come on, let's have some.
Mmm... it's delicious.
As expected of Chigusa-san's cooking.
I'm flattered.
No, a delicious meal is delicious.
Well, not mentioning the mother, the father seems very young too.
Is that so?
Oh my.
Both are of student marriages.
Eh?
Student marriage?
Yeah, means they married when they were very young.
I see, student marriage...
The life was tough because of our
immaturity, it taught us many things as well.
It was very difficult.
Oh, but don't ask for our ages, Chigusa-chan will get mad with you.
Jeez, Kantarou-san!
Yuu-chan! Please clean-up the table.
Then I can make the coffee after that.
Shana, Yoshida-san and father, what are they talking about?
Does it bother you?
I don't really mind.
I see. if you really want to be close by his
side, your heart will tell you what to do., eh?
That's my Chigusa-chan!
Sorry for asking you.
But I think you are a wonderful couple.
So I think you will know what to do.
I couldn't believe that we were told
that we're a wonderful couple at this age.
I am glad, even though it's flattery.
It's not flattery.
Huh?
What Yoshida Kazumi said is not flattery.
Really?
Thanks a lot.
At that time, both Chigusa and me were young,
We didn't know what to do, and did something unnecessary.
Though, I remember clearly that I did follow my heart.
Do you want to know what was Chigusa-san's answer?
Chigusa-san was...
...like that!
The guys from Sakai family, they drift around like a balloon.
Then Chigusa-san held the thread tight and wouldn't let go.
Thanks to her, I won't lose the way wherever I may go.
Ah, there you go again, Kantarou-san.
Are you telling Shana and Yoshida something odd?
It's not something odd, it's something important!
Then it's fine.
Here, the coffee is being prepared.
Come on, young ladies.
If you are confused, then stretch out your hand first.
If you do so, you can reach it to some extent.
Now, coffee! The coffee prepared by Chigusa-san is especially good.
If you want to be close,
stretch out your hand first.
As I thought, Pheles is still alive.
Yeah, she is alive.
And she is searching for something.
Don't tell me...
Reiji Maigo.
Yeah, of course.
For her, this is an irreplaceable memento from her lover.
For her to find the Mystes would just be a matter of time.
Then Pheles will eventually...
Near the clear autumn festival,
It's an important event for the student who prepare for it.
Shana is one of those that takes part in it.
But Wilhelmina came back at that moment.
She told us about Pheles and Johan, the original owner of Reiji Maigo.
Something is going to happen.
