The fact that the two of us met that day...
I wonder what many miracles...
...happened in the world before it?
Who should I thank for it?
Ah, I'm sure that your future...
...will be suited for me.
There are nights that I can't say as much, and I feel like crying.
Eternity, eternity, even past it, the colors don't fade.
I wait in the wind under the sky.
If I believe, if I believe, your smile...
...will become a flower for me... I'm sure.
It's already autumn...
Aoi-san, you're so cute!
Episode 20 Cure
Miss Landlord, that looks really great on you!
Y-You think so?
You all look very pretty, as well.
You think so?
But Mayu is the cutest of all!
See? See? See? See?
And why are you here?
To help Hanabishi-sama out, of course!
Because he and Mayu will use this school festival...
...to create an ennui autumn story by ourselves.
Over here, Hanabishi-sama!
Wait for me, Mayu-chan!
- Oh, no... - Oh, sure.
A-Aoi-sama, that outfit...
U-Um...
All right!
Let's go to the next one! Next!
At the school festival tomorrow...
...the entire photo club will have what they call a cosplay cafe.
They are trying the outfits.
Come on, hurry.
You, too.
Oh, all right.
Aoi-sama...
Huh? Say, where's Kaoru?
Maybe he's not done changing yet?
Kaoru, how long will it take?
Idiot!
Cosplay Cafe Animal
Kaoru-sama...
Oh no, Kaoru-sama...
I'm so surprised...
To think she would laugh out loud so much...
I didn't want Aoi-chan to see me like this...
Kaoru-dono.
You should hold your head up high.
This is not something anyone can do.
63rd Meiritsu Festival Day 1
Aoi-chan! Miyabi-san!
Over here!
Oh, Kaoru-sama!
Cosplay Cafe Animal
Welcome!
Welcome to Animal!
Honestly!
Why do I have to wash the dishes?
I'm supposed to be writing the first chapter...
...of Mayu's autumn story with Hanabishi-sama right now!
Look at this, look at this, Chief!
I'm looking, I'm looking, Vice-chief!
To think the cosplay cafe would be so popular...
The club's always in the red, but we're sure to hit black now!
Our next camp will definitely be overseas!
Thank you all for waiting!
It's time for our special service!
Skinship time with the customers!
Skinship time?
That means...
Stuff like this...
...and that...
...is allowed?
Did we have such a service?
Dunno.
Well then, skinship time with the customers starts now!
What's going on?
H-Huh?
What are you going to do, Tina?
The place is completely wrecked...
...and the chance of the customers coming back is zero!
No matter how much you like 'em...
...or how this is Animal Cafe, there's no excuse for reptiles.
Why? Why?
They're all so cute...
I went outta my way to rent 'em from the pet shop.
Well, she didn't have ill will...
Her intentions were good...
That's right!
I knew Kaoru would understand.
Don't get that thing near me!
But the festival is three days including today.
What'll we do now?
Everyone.
Do not be so depressed.
How about some tea?
Delicious.
Tasty...
I've never had Japanese tea this good before.
The tea you make is always really delicious.
Thank you very much.
Nothing like good tea when you're Japanese...
Who is Japanese? Who?
Yeah, this really was tasty.
But this was cheap, ordinary tea lying around here.
Even using the same tea, I can't get the same taste as her.
It's strange.
I see!
This! This is it!
Miss Landlord!
All right, it's done.
Traditional Japanese Cafe Aoi
U-Um...
It really is embarrassing for it to have the same name as me.
What are you talking about?
This traditional Japanese cafe won't work without you!
You're willing to help, and you're lending us the outfits.
We really can't thank you enough.
Oh, no...
I am glad to be of aid to you all.
Hey, the outfits are here!
Here, Tae.
Thank you very much.
Looking authentic.
What's wrong, Hanabishi?
Oh, it's nothing.
Don't be so spaced out.
We have to get everything done today.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, Miss Landlord.
No underwear under this, right?
- Is that so? - Aoi-san...
Y-You can keep lingerie on...
Extra pads around your chest will be better.
Tae's so lucky to have such big breasts!
There!
Forgive me!
Aoi-sama, the tea room is now ready.
It's all right! It's all right!
Oh, no!
It looks like it will be a while yet.
I apologize.
I will now have you all learn the basics of the tea ceremony.
It is not all that difficult, so please do not be so tense.
It's not that I'm tense...
My feet are numb...
This is why I hate tatami floors...
- My legs... My legs... - My legs... My legs...
Wow...
Tina-senpai, take a look.
Don't you think Senpai looks very fitting here?
How can he sit like this so easily?
First, I will show you an example.
Anyway, I'd like you all to do this much.
They will learn before the night is over, right?
Y-Yes...
I swore I'd never wear Japanese clothing again...
The scars on my back...
...hurt.
They hurt...
They hurt.
Kaoru-sama.
Aoi-chan.
What's wrong?
I am sorry.
I did not realize.
I have reminded you of some bad memories.
It's all right.
I don't mind at all.
Now let's go back.
We'll get cold if we stay out here.
Kaoru-sama.
Kaoru-sama...
I wish I could take your grief and pain in your place...
...if only I could, Kaoru-sama.
Aoi-chan...
However, I am your fianc馥, Kaoru-sama.
I can share feelings together with you.
So please...
Do not grieve alone...
...Kaoru-sama.
Okay.
Ai Yori Aoshi
63rd Meiritsu Festival Final Day
Traditional Japanese Cafe Aoi East Hall, 2nd Floor Tasty!
I didn't know tea was this delicious!
Can I have another cup?
- Me, too! - Over here, too!
S-Sure!
Please wait a moment.
Look at this, look at this, Chief!
I'm looking, I'm looking, Vice-chief!
My intuition about this was right!
This time, we're sure to be in the black!
Now the photo club's first camp overseas is definite!
Hey, I hear there's a real cutie at the photo club's cafe.
For real?
Let's go!
Looks like we'll have more customers than expected.
Big Brother!
Chika-chan!
Chika-san.
Why are you here?
I got this from Tae-neechan!
Hey, guys! Yoo-hoo!
Oh, Chika!
Thank you very much!
I apologize for making you work, though you came here to play...
Don't worry, I don't mind.
There's no tea left!
Can you bring some quick?
I'm sorry!
We're out of bowls!
Where are the extra tea candies?
Yes, I will be right over!
Miss Landlord, Miss Landlord.
Yes, what is it?
Miss Landlord, we can take over here, so please rest.
But...
You've been working nonstop since this morning.
The others are getting the hang of things.
I see... Then I will take your advice.
Kaoru-sama!
Aoi-chan.
Good work.
How is the cafe doing?
Yes, everyone is doing their best...
...and thanks to your advertising, we're doing very well.
Oh, that's great.
Oh.
Do you want to eat takoyaki?
It's almost lunchtime...
Sure!
Wow, they look tasty!
Be careful, they're hot.
U-Um, Kaoru-sama?
Here!
Miss Landlord!
Oh, there you are.
Miss Landlord, Tae spilled the tea again.
Sorry, but can you come back now?
Oh, sure, I understand.
I am sorry, Kaoru-sama.
We finally had some time alone...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Watch where you're going.
Oh, brother.
Are you all right, Hiro-kun?
Traditional Japanese Cafe Aoi
Then I will go deliver this.
The comedy club's room is at the right end of the hall.
Don't go to the wrong place.
Sure.
I'm back!
Oh, good work.
You can take some time off now.
Thanks.
Then I'll walk around for a bit.
Big Brother!
Oh, Chika-chan.
Want to come with me?
I won't let that happen.
He'll be making the conclusion of the autumn story with Mayu!
What are you talking about?
It's not time for your break yet.
- What are you doing? - Come on!
- Let go! I said let go! - You have dishes to wash!
Traditional Japanese Cafe Aoi
- Big Brother, this way! - Don't tug so hard.
- I'm starving already! - Kaoru-sama!
Kaoru-sama...
Kaoru-sa...
Are you all right?
Kaoru-sama...
Excuse me, young lady!
We are the Meiritsu Festival Management Committee.
Y-Yes?
If you don't mind, we'd love for you to enter this contest.
63rd Miss Meiritsu Pageant Please!
Um, but...
I would be troubled.
Please!
That was really fun, Big Brother.
Well, be careful now.
Yeah. I'll come by to play again.
Come anytime. We'll all be waiting.
See you!
I'm back!
Thank you for the hard work, Kaoru-sama.
Thanks for the hard work, Aoi-chan.
Oh, where is everyone?
They went to return the borrowed materials.
I see.
How about some tea?
Yeah, thanks.
To Miss Aoi Sakuraba 63rd Miss Meiritsu
Your tea really is delicious, Aoi-chan.
Thank you very much.
Um, I bought this earlier.
I really wanted to eat takoyaki with you, Kaoru-sama.
Though it already has gotten cold...
Sure.
Here, Kaoru-sama.
Yeah, it's delicious.
I am glad.
It's delicious...
We finally have some time to ourselves...
Yeah.
It really was fun today.
Being so busy my head spun, interacting with many people...
Both were firsts for me, but...
Because you weren't near me...
...I was a little lonely.
Aoi-chan...
Seeing so many couples come to play today, I thought...
If only we could walk together like that...
If we could enjoy ourselves...
Kaoru-sama, you felt the same way that I did...
I'm so glad.
Um, Kaoru-sama?
Can you stay still for just a moment?
Sure.
I-I apologize.
Thanks for the hard work!
Kaoru?
Miss Landlord?
What's wrong?
N-Nothing.
Nothing at all.
What is the weakest thing in this world?
Even so, it exists to protect the two.
Because there's as much of it as there are stars above.
I wanted to hear it from your voice.
So tell me it's love.
Tell me that it really is love.
Even if the two are like unknown flowers...
To fall in love...
To become very strong...
Because I want you to feel the same thing...
...a small, fragile love.
Ai Yori Aoshi Preview We've got a huge problem!
What's wrong, Tina?
Miss Landlord...
Miss Landlord!
What?
Ai Yori Aoshi, Influenza.
Ai Yori Aoshi Influenza Ai Yori Aoshi, Influenza.
Miss Landlord!
That's me?
