Rena!!
What was that?
Nooo! Help me!
What was that?
Keep it up, girl!
No! Please no! Not my glasses!
Man, she must like crazy situations.
Elliot Chandler... What is she doing?
No! Not my underwear! You can't!
That's...
Poor Elli-chin.
You think we're any better?
Stop it!
How's this?
Ai-yai-yai.
I give up. Looks like I'm no match for you.
Oh, it's the wisdom of age.
Pardon me now. I'll come back again after I practice.
Oh, right.
I heard they headed for the desert south of here.
It's my thanks for the fun time.
Besides, I don't like them, either.
W-Wait a minute! D-Don't leave me behind!
Waaait!
What a haul, what a haul!
Hey there, Old Okuzaki.
How about another round with me?
How does the rate of 5 coins and an article of clothing per game sound?
Who would strip, idiot?!
What? Bruce-san is?
He's the Prince of Wind Bloom Kingdom?
What are you talking about?
You won't believe me?
Of course not. Not a thing you guys say.
How dare you! Do you understand the situation you're in?!
You saw it yourself, did you not?
Rena Sayers...
The Lofty Crimson Jade.
That's a special gemstone only the royal family of Wind
and their Otome can possess.
Do you accept it now?
So what?
Even if he is the prince, why would such a person come pick me up?
I have nothing to do with Wind.
Oh yes you do.
You have the royal blood of Wind running in you,
Princess Sifr.
That's ridiculous! It's so-
M-9.
The fact that you have awoken her is the greatest proof.
The only ones who can awaken M-9 and other artifacts from the Pre-Emigrant Era are
the descendants of the composer,
who sealed the old technology along with Garderobe -
the royal family of Wind.
Their genes have been strictly regulated,
and they are not permitted to have children as they wish.
There is no point in spare keys, if they multiply themselves.
However, the younger brother of the present Prince of Wind Kingdom
broke the law.
At Aries, where he was studying abroad, he created a child,
and fourteen years since, he's been observing her growth,
writing letters many times.
"Letters?"
It couldn't be!
Because the existence of a composer outside the country has been confirmed,
both Wind and Garderobe have begun to take action.
To kill you, a dangerous being.
Please rest assured. We are here to protect you.
Composer, our princess.
There's no way I can get married anymore.
A bride out of you?
You got a problem?
You want to become Rena-chan's groom, don't you?
Hey, Raquel.
Rena!
I tried to save Rena!
Why did this happen?!
Say, is it really Garderobe?
Yes, I think it's the principal's order.
Elli-chin, you idiot. You could have talked to me.
In other words, Garderobe has realized who Sifr-sama is.
Rena!
May I come in?
S-Sure, please do.
We're checking out.
Get ready to leave right away.
Um, where are we going?
We're going to save Sifr.
We know where she is?
There's a ruin from the Pre-Emigrant Era in the desert south of here.
She's most likely there.
Let's go!
All right!
Please wait!
Why are you going through all of this danger to save Sifr-sama?
Why won't you go search for Rena?
Why?!
Why?
Why is it... you won't just yell at me?
Elli-chin...
The story of a princess and her knight shouldn't have a bad ending.
Plus, there's no need to worry about Rena.
Since I'm alive like this.
Rena will come without fail.
She'll save Sifr.
Elliot.
I want you to help us.
To prevent Rena and Garderobe from fighting, we need your help.
Bruce-sama...
I will.
N-No.
You can't.
I said no.
I'm not into that.
C'mon... Elliot. Quit licking a place like that...
What's wrong?!
No!
Hang on! Calm down!
Hey, just calm down!
Oh no!
Nii-chan!
Um, is he all right?
What's with that?!
Man! Why did Nii-chan come home with this?
Anyways, I need to go find him.
What are you?
Remain calm. I am not a suspicious person.
You're not making any sense!
Miyu-san.
About Elliot?
Yes. Her GEM began moving.
She's not called in for her regular check-in.
Isn't responding to calls we make either.
I see.
How about Rena Sayers and Raquel Mayor?
Bound Dragons Rhodonite is with the Galactic Aquamarine.
As for the Lofty Crimson Jade...
We've lost her signal.
"Lost?"
That's strange. It's hard to believe she'd lose against a cyborg.
Principal.
A sortie under the auspice of public order?
Right,
since I'm seeing some dangerous movements from Schwarz.
Isn't sending the cruiser out a little over-the-top?
I've determined that it's necessary.
Una Shamrock.
Garderobe is a peacekeeping organization.
Please keep that in mind.
We're fighting against terrorists, Maria-sensei.
Is it ready to depart?
Yes, at any time.
Very well.
Rei.
Kyouko.
Yiruma.
It is time that we Five Columns perform our duty.
We'll now begin pursuit of the composer.
What's this composer thing all about?
Was everyone lying to me?
Even Rena?
What an idiot.
I'm very sorry to cause you such an injury
after you'd rescued me.
It's fine. Don't worry about it anymore.
Yeah, seriously!
Just because he saw you a bit naked! He's your life savior, you know?!
Ow! Ouch!
What's wrong with you?! Cut it out!
I'm sorry I surprised you, too.
That room's usually for specimen storage.
"Specimen?"
Yeah. Those kinds of creatures live in the desert.
Stop following me!
Ow! Quit it!
I'm actually a biologist.
Really?
Pardon me. I'm Shiro.
That's my brother, Reito.
Stop following me!
What's your name?
Rena. I'm Rena Sayers.
Hey, can't you drive any better?
Oh, be quiet.
Why don't you learn a little from Raquel and sleep?
Don't lump me together with that dense girl!
Confirmed. Prince Bruce is alive.
Which means Rena Sayers is alive as well.
Very well. Continue the surveillance.
Yes.
Principal, why not capture the prince first?
Elliot's disregard bothers me, also.
Seriously. I wonder if she remembers that she's one of the Five Columns.
We have another GEM signal.
4 o'clock from here.
Right on the edge of detectable range.
The signal has disappeared.
Was that...
Maintain distance and continue to follow our target.
Speed up on determining their destination, too.
Ma'am.
That useless Yi-Yuan.
Are you sick, Sakura-chan?
Bah! It's nothing!
I bet they saw it.
Come here, Sakura-chan. I'll warm you up.
Shut up!
I wonder if Bruce-sama and everyone else are eating properly.
Sifr-sama...
Excuse me...
A boy's room...
Or rather...
He really is a researcher.
I guess he doesn't have any kind of radio.
Lofty Crimson Jade...
What... is this?
It looks similar.
Rena.
It is time we part, Rena.
Now look, don't come sneaking out of the village anymore, okay?
Nii-chan, you know-
Hurry and go back to the village.
I can't fight like Brankin and the others do.
But you're also a-
I'm sorry, Reito.
I want to save everyone my own way.
Wait, Miyu-san.
What do you mean "it's time we part?"
I've confirmed the activation of M-9.
M-9?
The android you fought the other day.
Amongst my sisters,
she is special in the sense that she has Founder Fumi's battle data.
The Founder's?
She is likely being updated right now with the data collected from your battle.
Before she obtains any more power, she must be destroyed.
Take me with you, Miyu-san.
I'm sure Sifr-sama will be where that android is.
So-
No.
Without the strength of an Otome, I cannot allow you to come with me.
Still!
This is my duty, Rena.
Miyu-san!
Hurry up!
We're launching before sunrise!
Heat detected from inside the ruin!
The generator must be still active.
What's Elliot's party doing?
No change.
What will you do now,
Bruce Windbloom?
I'm sorry, did it hurt?
N-No, I was just playing with you.
What's that?
But I'm really surprised.
I didn't know a weed like that could be turned into a medicine.
My mother taught me.
I... I see, your mother.
Yes. There were a lot growing around my house, too.
And here I thought you were from a rich family in the city.
Sorry, deep down I'm a country bumpkin.
Aw no, you didn't need to go there...
Then is it because I'm an Otome?
I'm sorry.
It's done.
Y-Yeah, thank you.
You're not going to ask anything?
Why I was unconscious in the desert or where I came from...
Nothing like that?
May I ask a question instead?
S-Sure.
Pardon, but... it's about the book on your table.
You saw the bruise on my breast, right?
Oh, no! That was just...
a lucky happenstance as I was treating you.
I swear I didn't poke or fondle it.
You did, didn't you?!
I-I'm very sorry!
I'll hear the details regarding that later.
So, the origin of Slaves and Otome are called HiME, right?
I have had that bruise from when I was a child.
But at first it was barely visible.
After entering Garderobe, it started to become clearer and clearer.
And along with it, my powers as an Otome became stronger.
Three months into the year, I broke my first Coral GEM.
I thought it was something that happened often to everyone.
But...
I-I don't think you need to worry that much.
That book's really old, too.
It's a little occult, too.
Besides, the shape of the bruise looks a little different.
If so-!
If so, why were you reading that book?
Shiro-san, did you perhaps see something else?
By the time I graduated, I didn't care about being an Otome.
But if I don't hold it in with the GEM's power...
I get so nervous, so worried...
Even then, I've now broken a Meister GEM.
Rena-san.
I'm selfish, aren't I?
Everyone's working so hard to fulfill their role as Otome, yet I'm so...
If I quit being an Otome, then maybe...
You can't say that.
You're so hurt from using the power of Otome.
You're not selfish at all.
Remember.
Don't you have a reason to fight even if it means going through a scary situation?
Sifr-sama...
But, if you still lose sight of where you belong because of the GEM,
then come back here.
Just stay here until the whole world forgets about you.
Um... is that...
an offer to live together?
Yeah, something like that.
W-... Wait a sec! I think I got carried away and said something unbelievable!
Was that all a lie then?
That's not the point!
I-I'm told h-how we think of each other
should be the most important for things like this!
Says who?
My... grandmother.
Shiro-san, you're so funny.
Oh man.
Shiro-san?
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow...
Are you all right?
Yeah...
This is...
Ah, sorry. I forgot Miyu-san gave that to me for you.
From Miyu-san?
Along with this.
Mother...
That's...
It's toward the southern ruin.
A ruin?
Open all gates.
Rei, Kyouko, Yiruma: engage.
Slaves are approaching.
Galactic Aquamarine and Bound Dragons Rhodonite are now moving.
They used us as bait.
Keep your big bodies off of us.
Good grief.
Smith-sama!
We have an Otome approaching Gate 1!
What?
Kodama! Hibiki!
We won't let you through here!
GG Cannon!
You're hurting me! Let go!
Where are you taking me to?!
To your throne, Princess.
I don't want to!
Sifr!
Bruce-san!
Give it up already!
Elliot...
Sifr!
Sorry we're late.
Come this way!
Bruce-san...
Was the sender of the letter my father?
You're the Prince of Wind, right?
And my father's a royal member, too?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trick you.
So... It's true.
Screw him, making mom suffer so much...
He thought of us as only a bother this whole time, didn't he?!
Sifr, what are you saying?
Don't hide it!
I know that you're all here to kill me because I'm a composer!
No! Who told you such a thing?!
Elliot tried to kill me, didn't she?!
I bet both Shion and Raquel are actually...
And Rena, too!
You're wrong!
You've got it wrong...
That's something I did...
I'm responsible for it...
It's because I didn't have a strong heart!
M-9.
Elliot!
You're...
Wait, Smith!
Give it up! This time, we really have you in checkmate!
Please wait! There are things I still want to talk about!
Anything further is a waste of time.
Raquel, get here fast.
We have to get to the control room.
Now!
Right!
How's... this then?!
Useless.
She copied Rena's move!
This is the end.
M-9.
I order you to cease function immediately.
I refuse.
Damn it, the system's locked.
Smith-sama. Please call M-9 back.
We're running out of time.
I'm aware.
Sifr, can you hear me?!
I can imagine your confusion with all of this suddenly happening.
But listen to me!
Bruce-san...
The author of that letter, your father... And myself... We all wanted to live together!
I beg you! I don't want you to doubt that!
I swear I will save you!
Wait for me, Sifr!
Bruce!
Fire!
Mayor...
Raquel!
Elli-chin!
Sifr-sama...
The spaceship from the Colonial Age quakes from the force of Sifr's power.
As great lightning scorches the earth, the Blue Sky Sapphire awakens.
Next time on Mai Otome S.ifr:
I Want to Live On.
The time has arrived
for the brilliant Otome to appear.
