With a rose collar around your neck and a silver chain in your mouth...
...once again tonight, I despise you for finishing alone.
Kneel down and lap up the bitter dewdrops of love.
Inexperienced discipline administered upon the angel.
In the coffin called "the self," my soul is still astir.
Torn wings return to life in the moonlight, becoming gossamer.
More frightening than the darkness is solitude.
Let us indulge in the proof of our unity beneath the Cross.
Removing the rose handcuffs and crossing pale wrists.
The miracle of this rapport, you are so dear to me.
Kneel down and make this offering, the painful words of love.
They are a red arabesque staining the gauze.
I don't care if it's a sin. Tell me you love these forbidden lips.
Yamamoto-kun, I read your letter. You wanted to talk to me?
Um... w-well, S-Sakurada-san, I-I...
I'm sorry!
To be honest, after lacrosse today...
...I'm supposed to have cake with everyone at home.
I need to hurry home, so can we have this talk another time?
Um, uh...
I'm really sorry. See you.
Well, I better get going.
Stairs
Everyone, it's all ready!
Come eat!
Quiet.
Captain, talk later. She'll be in danger if we don't hurry!
We're at a very crucial scene now.
What?
Oh, this is terrible! Yet another body!
Kun-kun, what is with this case?
Please calm down, Captain! Let us start over again!
This should be easy if we look at the crime scene.
Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff! Kun-kun is a genius.
You can do it! Kun-kun, Hina is with you!
Kun-kun, what is that?
Here you are, Hina-chan.
And one for you too.
Thank you.
Strawberries! Cake!
It looks delicious! Thanks for the food!
Hold it right there!
What is it, Kun-kun?
You mustn't move that body!
Take a good look at the victim's neck!
These marks!
Wrapped around and bound up!
Wrapped and bound...
This puppet show is surprisingly hard-core.
This is a clever trick using wakame seaweed!
The mystery is completely solved! The culprit is...
Shut up!
Oh, Hina-chan, what's wrong?
Hina's strawberry...
The cake...
Hina-Ichigo, you're so terrible.
She ate her own strawberry...
...and is now acting up, demanding my strawberry too.
My...
Hina-chan, that's wrong. You ate yours, right?
What?
N-No... Not...
Oh, fine then.
If you're going to be that way...
...I'll give my precious strawberry to this gluttonous brat.
Here! Take it!
There, there, it's all right.
That won't do Hina-chan any good.
Stupid!
Hina-chan!
Hina-chan...
See you again for the resolution next weekun-kun!
Hina-chan, come down!
Let's have cake together!
Oh, dear.
She's in such a sulk she won't come down.
Maybe I was a little too harsh.
Kun-kun eats it too!
Kun-kun dog food!
Hey, Jun...
The mystery is completely solved!
Would you check on Hina?
Why me?
I have to go shopping for dinner ingredients now.
It just means one less. It's perfect.
Forget her.
You say some good things once in a while, human.
If we let her be, she'll return to civilization once she gets hungry.
Exactly.
No!
That's no good! We're going to have a nice dinner together!
That's easier said...
If Hina's still an outcast when I come back from shopping...
...I'll cancel tonight's dinner of flower-topped hamburger steaks!
Shocked
Flower-topped?
See you later.
We must capture her immediately!
Hey, that shows no intention of making nice!
If we drag her from the 2nd floor and put the screws to her, it'll work out.
Your whole argument is flawed!
Then do something about this, Jun.
Sheesh, why do I have to do this?
Hey, chibi Ichigo...
Hey!
She's totally sulking for real.
If you're going to mope in bed, do it in your own case! Hey, let go!
Ow...
What the?
A-A barricade?
Hey, come on. How long will you sulk?
Bad!
This is Hina's territory!
Bad, bad, bad!
Wait, this is my room!
Hey, don't throw minicars!
Hina didn't do anything wrong, so this is a strike.
Strike?
Whose side are you on?
Hina? Or Suiseiseki?
Which?
That's easy for you to say. I didn't see it happen, so I can't...
You're my enemy too! Go away!
H-Hold on!
Take that! Go away!
I didn't see it...
...but considering her past behavior...
She might be capable of that.
Jun, you can come one step into my territory.
Oh, really.
That chibi human is taking his time.
I swear. That creature is no good, no matter the task.
T-This is...
This is now Hina and Jun's territory!
How did it come to this?
You all can't come up here!
He seems won over.
Damn you, chibi human! You turned traitor?
Shameless bastard! Sneak! Four-eyed brat!
Why should I take that?
That hurt!
How about this? Don't you care what happens to this?
My case!
Do it.
Roger that!
Draw, draw, draw.
It's done!
What are you doing? Stop that!
Banzai!
Don't underestimate humans!
I wonder if everyone is getting along.
They'll be fine, right?
To think the puny runt converted the runt.
It was beyond my calculations.
But since it's come to this, it's all-out war.
I'll show you well what happens when you make me angry.
We may have to give up on the flower-topped hamburger steaks.
Puny Ichigo! Stupid Ichigo! No good Ichigo!
Hina did nothing wrong! You ate the strawberry!
You meanie! You meanie!
How childish.
This all started with you eating her strawberry, right?
Apologize!
That's right! That's right!
You're so mean.
What proof do you have that I ate the strawberry?
I'm being framed! It's too much!
No! You're lying, Suiseiseki!
That little...
The two of them are picking on me because I'm the newcomer!
Everyone is so juvenile.
This is "the alligator of truth," and it chews up the hands of liars.
If what you're saying is true...
...you'll be fine with sticking your hand in its mouth, right?
How mean! What's he trying to make me do?
I see. What a brilliant idea.
Now, put your hand in there.
N-N-N-N-No thank you.
T-T-T-There's no need.
What I'm saying is the truth!
Then you can prove it using this alligator.
Now, hurry up.
Please, not you too.
Do it now!
Shut up!
Now, hurry up.
S-Sorry, sorry! It was on a lark!
She looked so dumb that I wanted to pick on her!
I meant no harm! So please do something about the alligator!
Huh?
How unseemly.
I can't believe you'd use that cheap tactic.
As I thought, humans are the worst!
She's defiant.
At any rate, I'll never acknowledge this!
I'll never forgive you!
Never, ever till you properly apologize!
So there!
You know...
I don't care either way. Resolve this soon.
I'm getting hungry.
You could help a bit.
No thank you. It's too much trouble.
You're all so...
3 for 148 yen
Onion-san, Carrot-san, Potato-san, and... and...
And... and Strawberry-san.
It's gotten quiet. Why don't you make up with her soon?
No way. I'll never forgive Suiseiseki till she apologizes.
Is that so?
C-Caltrops?
Caltrops are tasty!
Hey, why're you eating them?
Oh, they're Mapollo chocolates.
Attention, rebel forces! Attention, rebel forces!
We've occupied the kitchen and the refrigerator!
If you want snacks or anything, surrender quietly!
That little... She went and got our food!
Well, Shinku? With this starvation tactic, it's a matter of time.
A sweet strategy.
This color, this luster, this aroma...
It's so irresistible!
I'm going to enjoy it!
What bliss!
To think I can have all I want of such delicious sweets.
You think we'll fall for a...
Candy!
Hey, don't fall for it already!
Candy!
Why are dolls so big on food?
Oh, so delicious.
Well, if you kneel, apologize, and swear lifelong loyalty...
...I might be willing to share a little.
Maybe or maybe not.
That cocky, demonic doll refuses to acknowledge her misdeeds...
All right, Ichigo, plug your ears!
Quit eating!
T-This sound... This sound...
Shinku, doesn't it bother you?
Styrofoam? What mere child's play.
How do you like that? I bet even you can't stand this!
Human, I hope you're prepared.
Fight sound with sound! Take this!
I'm not losing!
No! So noisy!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
I bought a lot.
Wait for me, everyone. I'll make delicious hamburger steaks.
Oh, s-sorry!
A-Are you okay?
Y-Yes, I'm fine.
I'm really sorry!
Oh, it's okay.
Were you watering flowers?
I've been watering them a lot, but only one's flowered.
Oh, dear. Too much water isn't good either.
The seeds will go bad.
What? Oh no!
I know! Wait a bit.
I-I'm tired...
Both physically and mentally.
It's going bang-bang, screech-screech in my head.
Oh, I'm so hungry.
I'll eat lots of delicious snacks.
Truly a sweet strategy.
Jun, I'm hungry. It's growling.
H-Hey, Ichigo!
That's right. She didn't eat her cake.
A prolonged conflict will be disadvantageous.
Since it's come to this...
Thanks for waiting!
Flower seeds. I bought a whole lot.
Let's plant them together.
After all, even flowers are happier when they have lots of friends.
I'll plant these, so take those.
Okay.
Let's make lots of flowers.
It's gotten terribly quiet.
They should be waving the white flag soon.
I hope so.
Hey, you guys, take a look at this!
What's this about?
Kun-kun...
All right, she's taken the bait.
Hi, Shinku. Thanks for always being supportive of me.
I'm so happy.
I-It's nothing. M-My pleasure.
What?
But it makes me a little sad to see you over on that side.
Hold on! Snap out of it!
To think one so wise and intelligent...
...would side with a villain, unable to see the truth...
You disappoint me, Shinku.
No...
What is this, chibi human? If you try anything else, I'll...
No, Kun-kun! No, listen to me.
It was all... It was all her doing!
Shinku... Shinku...
I... I was against it!
Hold on! How dare you pretend to be innocent?
All right, just a little more.
Shinku, help!
Kun-kun!
The evil that has possessed you is hurting me.
Help me!
Hurry to this side!
Kun-kun!
Help me... Help me...
Let go!
Kun-kun is... Kun-kun is...
Wait! I'm coming!
Shinku, no!
This is a trap!
Gotcha!
Kun-kun, watch out!
Y-You went for it?
Look at the time.
Everyone must be hungry.
I'm home, everyone!
Were you able to get along...
H-Hey!
Here you are.
Since you got along...
...here are your flower-topped hamburger steaks, as promised.
She's the scariest when she gets angry for real.
She's the true boss monkey.
You're not to be underestimated, Nori.
I'm starving!
And now...
Thanks for the food!
Thanks for the food.
Now, let's eat.
As the heart slows to a halt...
...it steals away beloved memories.
Beyond the trembling fingertips...
...the sky there is colorless.
But there is a soft voice that can be heard from far away...
...and I hope it will reach deep within those closed eyes.
The soaring, silver feathers rain down upon your body.
A melody echoing eternally unto the distant, phantasmal moon.
Have you seen Hina?
No.
It's strawberry rice cakes today. Where'd she go?
You're worried?
L-Leftovers are wasteful!
You're not honest. Oh? What do you have there?
It was on the floor. What's this doing in the house?
A black feather... Could it be...
Shinku?
Next time on Rozen Maiden...
