mukae ni kite yo to potsuri tsubuyaitara
迎えにきてよとぼつり呟いたら
“Come pick me up!” I whispered alone,
tameiki ni oyogu Tears
溜息に泳ぐ Tears
I swim in tears as I sigh…
tobira o jibun de aketemiru koto ha
扉を自分で開けてみることは
Trying to open the door by myself isn’t
hazakashiku naiwa
恥ずかしくないわ
embarassing at all!
hitotsubuzutsu migareta houseki yori hokorashiku
一粒ずつ磨かれた宝石より誇らしく
I was polished bit by bit, I’m more beautiful than Jewels,
kagayaite odoritai koyoi no Waltz
輝いて踊りたい今宵の Waltz
I want to shine and dance during tonight’s Waltz.
Shiniest partner for you
My best partner it's you
onaji kimochi
同じ気持ち
Do we feel the same?
tashikametai furueru koe
確かめたい震える声
I want to make sure…but my voice trembles…
me o tajita mama kono te sashidasu
目を閉じたままこの手差し出す
I close my eyes and take out my hand,
jikan ga tomaru yo
時間が止まるよ
time has stopped, come…
saa dou na no
さあどうなの
what will you do?
anata shidai
あなた次第
…It’s up to you!
datte watashi wa zenbu tsutaeta deshou
だって私は全部伝えたでしょう
Because I have already conveyed everything haven’t I?
As expected, he's really exhausted.
It can't be helped.
He's had to adapt to a different environment,
and so much has happened so quickly.
Indeed.
Yuu.
I took you from an orphanage and trained you to be a maid.
Did you have any problems getting used to the new environment?
No, I was just grateful to you, Master.
Well, I wouldn't know.
But sometimes I feel remorse over arbitrarily changing someone's environment.
Are you talking about Sylvia-sama?
Am I doing the same thing I did to my daughter?
For people like us, we do not have a choice over the environment we're in,
but we get to decide what we will make of it and what path we will take from there.
I believe one day you'll understand that, Master.
You didn't answer my question.
My deepest apologies.
"For people like us, we do not have a choice over the environment we're in"
"It's up to the individual as to which choice they make."
I'll take your words to heart.
Thank you.
Then I shall watch over Teppei's decisions.
Yes.
Episode 2
School and Reunion
We've arrived now.
Oh, okay.
Sorry, I drooled.
I don't mind.
Please.
Is this a house?
I used to live there.
But it's been abandoned for a while.
Abandoned?!
Don't worry.
Yuu, I'll leave the rest to you.
Have a good rest, Teppei.
Shall we go in, Master?
Master?
Wait, hold on!
What do you mean by "Master"?
I apologize for my late introduction.
My name is Fujikura Yuu.
I'm your personal maid.
Now, please come in.
These are all maids or servants waiting to serve you.
All of them work for me?
Welcome home, Master.
Uh... Can you not call me Master?
We're not allowed?
That's not the issue here.
I'm not used to being called "master."
Just call me by my name.
Teppei-sama?
Drop the honorific.
I cannot do that!
Calling the master by his name alone is not imaginable.
Now.
Teppei-sama.
What in the world is this...
Sorry.
This will be your room.
It's so bright!
What's this light?!
I'll be in the room next door.
Please call me when you need anything.
You just need to dial 2 to call me.
Please have a good rest.
Okay. Thanks.
Why have a rooftop just for a bed?
You!
Thank you.
So what do you want to talk about?
It's about Sylvia-san being my fiancée...
Is this sort of thing normal?
Can you elaborate?
Well, as in arranging someone's fiancée without asking the persons before.
What I want to say is, is it normal for rich people?
I don't know whether it's normal or not...
But the Master has considered this by taking you and Sylvia-sama in account.
But I know nothing about her.
Sylvia-sama is an aristocrat of the Hermish Kingdom.
Also, she's very skilled at fencing.
That's not what I mean.
I'm talking about her personality.
Personality?
Is that important?
Of course it is!
We're talking here about getting married.
Wouldn't it be important to find out what kind of person she is?
While we clashed swords, I felt it...
How should I put it... I felt sadness.
No, never mind.
Perhaps it's just me.
So, is it all right if I reject her?
That would be up to you, Teppei-sama.
Up to me?
You're the one who will decide whether or not to take this opportunity.
No!
I can't calm down.
Please try to.
I wonder about that...
Hey, I've always ridden a bike to school.
How about I do that?
That will not do!
What if you fall?
We cannot let Teppei-sama be in a dangerous situation.
No, I'm actually really good at it.
There's still the possibility.
Possibility?
Well, there's also the possibility of the limousine crashing somewhere.
Impossible!
Well then, we just need a bike that doesn't fall.
With grandpa's wealth, he can probably make someone manufacture one.
That's true.
This... is a school?!
That is the Shuuhou Academy that Teppei-sama will attend from now on.
First, we'll drop by the principal's office for an introduction.
I'd never imagined that I would attend the biggest academy for the rich in Japan.
This place is quite something.
You might feel uncomfortable at first.
But I'm sure Teppei-sama can adjust to it very quickly.
That's easier said than...
Uh... what's going on here?
Arima is a very famous name.
How can they tell?!
Wait a minute...
I can't handle this!
It'll be fine once you get used to it.
So, shall we go in?
Teppei-sama?
Looks like I've lost them.
This place is...
the cafeteria?
No, I won't be surprised anymore.
This place is more like a-
Ow...
Seika-sama.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Hey you, watch where you're going!
Sorry. I was spaced out.
Huh?
There's a big bruise on your forehead.
Are you okay?
Seriously,
as a man, you shouldn't be that off guard.
Ah, they're striped...
This is personal advice from the Social Club president, Houjouin Seika-sama.
Where is the thank you?
Oh, this one's wearing pink!
What's with that look?
In any case, it's your fault for daydreaming here.
This one is pure white.
Never mind, let's forget about it.
It's partially my fault for not paying attention.
Are you hurt?
Can you stand up?
Nah, I'm fine.
School violation!
Your collar button is wide open.
Oh, really?
Your appearance is very important.
It's better to be aware of this since you're attending this school now.
But this undeniable brilliance and the work on the collar...
Your sense for shirts isn't that bad.
Let me see your belt.
Hey!
I see. Eighty points.
Seika-sama, we don't mind telling you if we doubt your judgment, but...
But?
Well, we haven't seen him before and don't know from which family he comes from.
Now that you mention it.
Are you a freshman?
No, I'm a sophomore.
I transferred today.
I see. No wonder I didn't recognize you.
I'm Houjouin Seika.
Does it ring a bell?
As I said, I transferred today.
How dare you say you've never heard of Seika-sama!
It's all right. It only means that I still have to work on myself.
See you later, transfer student.
Sorry about earlier.
Teppei-sama!
Teppei-sama, I've been looking for you.
Sorry, this is the first time I've gotten lost in a school.
Well, it's okay as long as you're fine.
Now, shall we move on!
PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE
Ah! We've been waiting for you!
ARIMA Teppei-sama!
Hurray, Arima-sama!
What was that all about?
It's probably because Master has donated a large amount of funds to this school.
A large amount? How much?
Ten trillion...
Never mind, I knew it.
And so it's become this...
This is the same as last night's party...
Arima Teppei
My name is Arima Teppei.
Arima Teppei
Give him a big hand!
This is a nightmare for me.
Can I keep up with this?
I'm honored to meet you.
I'm Nezu Haruhiko.
Feel free to treat me as your friend.
Uh, nice to meet you.
Ah! What a friendly greeting!
As expected from someone of Arima Isshin-sama's blood-
I'm Otomura Kenzou's daughter, Natsumi.
We've always been under the care of your father.
My name's Iwai. Please remember my name.
My father is a parliamentarian.
What are you people doing?!
I was the one offering him my greetings!
Please remember me!
I'm Nezu. Nezu Haruhiko.
Please engrave your lifelong friend's name in your heart!
Lifelong friend?
When did we become that close?
Just now!
Lifelong friend.
Ah, it has such a nice ring.
Guess who?
Like I said, I just transferred today.
I wouldn't know who you are.
This sensation...
Could it be?
You're...
That was no fun.
If you couldn't guess it instantly then there's no sense of destiny about it.
Just kidding.
I'm Charlotte Hazelrink.
We meet again.
Princess!
You remember me?
Why wouldn't I?
Thank you for saving my life last time.
You don't have to thank me for that.
I'm so happy!
Hey!
Woah!
No...
Don't give me that!
Sheesh, Father and Maria are such a bother.
Besides, I haven't recognized him as my fiancée.
Well, I can at least give him my regards.
We're going to the same school after all.
Excuse me.
Oh, Sylvi.
What's wrong?
H-H-H-How indecent!
I'll show your around during the lunch break.
Shouldn't you care about what happened just now?!
Besides, how did we end up like this?!
I should get off of you first.
Arima?
The son of Arima Department Store, and the gazillion other enterprises as well?
Am I correct?
Yes, that Arima.
You've got to be kidding me!
Why me?
If I knew he was Arima's brat, I wouldn't have wasted a second on him!
Give me back the precious time I wasted on him!
I'm so sorry!
Pardon me.
Anyway, if he thinks everyone will do as he wishes just because he has the Arima name, he's mistaken.
Therefore, we're going to make that clear to him.
As the Social Club President, I, Houjouin Seika, will show him.
The Social Club?
Yes. If you join there, you'll easily make some friends.
And they can even teach you social etiquette.
Ah, I see.
Do you know Sylvi?
Rather than say I know her, it's more like she's my fiancée.
Fiancée?
I see...
That's how it is...
I bet she's perplexed about this, too.
And that commotion earlier...
The commotion earlier?
Well, she saw me on top of you...
Not that I really did that...
It just looks like that from the side view.
Never mind...
Then you should go and make up with her.
I don't really understand it, but you do want to be friendly with her, right?
Uh, where did you get that idea from our conversation?
Don't worry.
I'll come along with you.
Hold on!
I'm not ready yet!
Wow.
It's Sylvi.
You can recognize her even though you can't see her face?
I can tell by her stance, since I saw her swordplay last night.
Wonderful.
Hey, she missed a chance to attack.
This isn't like her.
Her skills are supposed to be of a much higher caliber.
Sorry.
I see.
She probably feels lonely.
There's no one here who can draw out her full potential.
That's why she feels lonely.
Then she won't feel lonely if she fights you, right?
Sylvi!
Charlotte, Arima...
Sorry.
Teppei said he wants to fight you.
What?
Why are you saying this?
He said you won't feel lonely if you fight with him.
Lonely...
Do I look lonely?
He said he can't take it because you're so lonely all by yourself!
I didn't say that!
Come!
I'll be your opponent.
Why is this happening?
Hurry and come!
All right then.
To finish the duel from last night,
we'll settle the score now.
