Here is this week's.
Thanks.
And this piece of info is free.
well, I don't want to be too nosy.
But let me ask, what is your Grand Duke up to?
John Smith.
He met with him.
The Schwarz negotiator.
Yeah.
And the only guy from that phantom organization who's made himself known.
Still the same lousy handwriting.
"l am studying hard for my exams."
Please begin now.
I'm so tired.
Mitsuketano DREAM
I found a dream
doki doki ga tomaranai
I can't stop this thrilling feeling
MY STAR DREAM
My star dream
Umaretano takaramono
A new treasure is born
mune ippai ni
It's filling my heart

And it's beginning to shine brightly

What is it that's making me so anxious?
Kakae kirenai omoi
Unable to control these feelings
namida koboreru kedo
My tears flow out
kitto itsuka tadori tsukeruyo
I'm sure that I'll get there one day
tsumazuitatte akiramenai
Even if I stumble I won't give up

With courage, let's keep moving forward
chiisana ippo fumidaseba horane
Take one small step and you will see
atarashii watashi
A brand new me
I can barely move.
The Ocean - Swimsuit + Disaster =?
we're almost done so hang in there.
Yeah, we still have the exam's main event ahead of us.
Main event?
Yup. The field trip.
Don't bring that up lrina! I've been trying not to think about it.
I heard that a lot of students drop out of it every year.
Please, Our Lady of Otomes! Have mercy.
we can't give up now. Let's do what we can.
Field trip?
wow! wow!
It's so wide! It's so big!
I can't see the shore on the other side!
So this is the ocean.
Arika!
we're gathering over here!
All right! I'm learning how to swim on this field trip, for sure!
Arika!
Charge!
Such shameless behavior!
As an Otome, you must never take your clothes off in public!
She's scolding her for the wrong reasons.
But, that girl is full of spirit, as always.
The ocean...
Ocean...
Thank you for providing us with a location for the test, Madame President.
It's not a problem.
You should thank us!
we've given special permission for this just to help our beloved juniors!
By the way, there seem to be a few tag-alongs.
what do you mean "tag-alongs"?!
I came all the way here to participate as a member of the judging committee.
I wonder about that.
Haruka.
Those guys are the tag-alongs, here just to take a vacation.
He told us he was going to finally return to his nation.
That's why we're taking time off here.
It's on the way back to our country.
This is all just a coincidence.
You're lying! That's not true!
Oh, you can tell?
Actually, I've come here to see you, my precious Mashiro.
Shut up, you big liar!
You will all complete a one hundred kilometer hike...
...carrying that gear on your backs.
This is the long distance survival test, known as "The Field Trip."
what about the ocean? The swimming?
And that really cool hotel?
Obviously, there's none of that.
Not fair!
All of you will have to pair up.
Your objective is to reach this point together.
In a straight line the distance is one hundred kilometers.
Needless to say, you cannot use your Robes.
You will also notice that we didn't provide you with any food.
You'll have to collect your own.
Also, we will be grading you on your dinner.
This part of the test will show us...
...how well you can provide a master with a delicious meal...
...in the most undesirable conditions.
There are plenty of animals and plants you can find.
So there's no need to worry.
There are also large predators that prey on the small animals.
So please be careful.
Okay, there's a marker in this armband that tells us exactly where you are.
Although we hope this doesn't happen, if you can no longer proceed...
...please press this button.
we will immediately come to rescue you.
well then, we will now review the equipment you have.
I'll explain how each item is used.
First, this one.
It's a pressure injection gun.
Arika Yumemiya. This is my chance.
I'll use this opportunity to add a few maki-makis to your name.
Maki what?
well, ah... I don't know what you're talking about.
Now then, these are the pairings for the test.
Be aware that if either group member decides to quit...
...both members will be disqualified.
we start tomorrow morning.
Make sure you get plenty of rest tonight.
You may be excused, Sergay.
Tomorrow is my day of fun, so you're also free to do what you want.
But I really shouldn't.
This is a vacation.
Va-ca-tion.
Right?
What is your Grand Duke up to?
well, I'll go now.
This is a brutal test.
But I want you to do your best...
...while maintaining the poise of an Otome.
Best of luck.
Yes, ma'am!
Now, let the long distance survival test begin.
It should be easy to get to the destination...
...if we just follow the shoreline, don't you think?
Sorry, Arika.
Physical endurance isn't one of my strong suits.
well, don't you worry! I will carry you if I have to!
In exchange, I'll leave the cooking to you.
All right.
Let's go!
Field trip! Field trip! This is so much fun!
The problem is the elevation.
If we follow the shoreline or the river, we'll run into problems later.
Then there's only one path to take.
Oh no!
Irina! I let you lead the way because you said you're from Aries.
I wonder how many will reach the end this year.
Headmistress, you weren't able to reach the end when you did it, right?
That wasn't my fault!
It was because of the other girl's poor planning.
That sure brings back memories.
when I received your distress signal, I went to get you...
...only to find you two in a most improper...
Forget that!
I won't.
Hey, Shizuru. Not down there.
You haven't changed one bit.
Shizuru and Haruka, you two were paired up then, weren't you?
That's right!
And that useless woman left me with all the responsibilities...
...everything from carrying the backpacks to cooking!
I knew it.
what?
Aoi, what the heck is this?!
I came here to play, not be isolated from everything like some bacteria!
And that little freak is here!
why not?
Let's have fun together, Mashiro.
I'd rather die!
Please let us keep you company.
I want to try that thing called beach volleyball!
Let's play!
I'd be honored.
Thank you.
No problem.
Mashiro
what an unfair world we live in.
what did you say?!
I was just speaking the truth!
This is so unfair.
I have to stay back here all on my own?
I'll... I'll maki-maki every one of them!
Kazu.
Hi.
I ended up coming after all.
You look great in that swimsuit.
Oh, you're making me blush, Kazuya.
That's the heir to one of Cardair's three royal families.
There!
Here.
Sorry, Arika.
Ersty, were you bitten? Let me look!
If it's poisonous we'll need to act quickly!
I'm okay. It doesn't hurt that much.
But still...
Arika.
I was bitten on this leg.
I'm all right.
Like Miss Yohko said...
...the nanomachines should break down poison that gets in our body.
But...
You've got blood blisters!
I'm fine.
Really, I'm all right.
Come on, let's continue.
Don't force yourself. You've been bitten by a snake!
The sun will be setting soon. why don't we set up camp here?
But...
No way!
Besides, I think this spot is perfect.
It's close to that little river we saw.
I'll cut the grass around here to keep the snakes from showing up.
Arika.
Now then, be thorough with your dinner checks.
Yes, ma'am!
Let's see, my first stop will be...
I found you!
Ta-da!
Number seventeen, Erstin Ho.
Number fifty-one, Arika Yumemiya.
I am here to grade you on your dinner.
Okay, we're ready!
what's wrong? Are you ready to give up?
It's okay, I'm just a bit tired.
Right. well then.
Here you are!
I made them myself!
Zero points.
Bye.
Come on.
That's so mean if you don't try any of them.
I worked hard to make these.
I can tell without tasting.
Zero means zero.
Look! A flying swirl!
That was unpleasant.
what kind of animal cries like that?
It sounded like a crow was being strangled.
Um... Big Sister Shizuru.
I put great effort into making this for you. Please enjoy.
Then I shall help myself.
I brought you some water.
Sorry, Arika.
Stop it.
Ersty, all day you've done nothing but apologize.
Sorry.
There you go again.
Ersty, I'll give you a wipe down.
You must be uncomfortable after sweating all day.
Never mind. what about yourself, Arika?
I just took a quick dip in the water!
Now, don't be shy!
Ah! wait, no!
You do have a fever.
I'm sure it's because the nanomachines are active.
I used the injection gun a moment ago.
Maybe we should press the button.
No! If you do that, you'll be disqualified as well.
But we already got minus ten points for our dinner.
There has to be a way to earn back points!
I don't want to hold you back, Arika!
wow, they're jiggling.
Actually, I'm the one holding you back.
At school, with my studies...
Arika, you'll become a great Otome. I just know it.
Y-You think so?
Because you have a sincere dream. You really want to become an Otome.
Isn't it the same with you, Ersty?
Not really.
I just had slightly better grades than the others.
Besides, what I really want to do is...
what I really want...
Let me tell of an old story
You seem to be very fond of Big Sister Shizuru.
It's rare for you to start a conversation like this.
Is it wrong?
Everyone admires her.
She is a wonderful Big Sister.
You're right.
Sorry.
Forget what I said.
That's right.
That's why l...
Leader. I've confirmed the coordinates.
Our target is beyond that mountain.
Any guards?
A few. It'll be easy to eliminate them.
Very well.
I want to be there by dawn. Let's hurry.
Hey, you really shouldn't force yourself.
Really, I'm okay.
Sorry for making you carry my backpack too.
No more "sorrys."
Okay.
I was pretty sure it was this way.
This thing is useless.
If only I could see the sun, we wouldn't have to rely on this thing.
I'll just have to climb higher to get our bearings.
But before that we should...
Ersty?
Ersty?! Ers...
How come?!
They're definitely broken.
Ersty.
wait here.
I'll go find help!
No.
I can't find them.
It's been half a day since we lost the marker signal.
They shouldn't be too far from where they were yesterday evening.
This is worrying about Arika and Erstin.
I'm not worried about that girl one bit.
Arika.
I see. So Arika is...
Yes.
well, it's probably not anything to be too concerned about.
Give it some time and that Antsy will pop up somewhere.
Let's just hope that she's lost and nothing more.
There's no time for that.
I have to hurry for Ersty's sake.
Excuse me!
Oh gosh. I guess you saw it.
How cute. You certainly are my type.
I must do this to fulfill our desires. So sorry.
Just give up and accept your fate as bad luck.
Oh?
Are you a student from Garderobe?
That's right!
My friend was bitten by a snake and is in danger! I need help!
That's why you're here looking like that?
Oh, what a precious story. I could just cry.
But now that you told me that...
...I have even more reason to stop you from leaving here alive.
So sorry.
If only you were a bird, you could fly away. Too bad.
Farewell, cute girl.
I'll pray that you find happiness in the world of the stars!

A Serious Otome Matter
Chie, I'm jealous that you have such big breasts.
They are useful in many ways.
Look. A bug.
Leave it to me!
Is that what you mean by useful?
