Best Student Council!
Fall in love, girls
Longing for natural heart-to-heart communication
Girls always
Dream about something rather unreasonable
It's all about girls
Renew your outlook every day
Fall in love, girls
In the end we all want to stay passionate
Everyone wishes they could choose their own course from under such a vast sky like this
We've got perfect smiles
So we're unstoppable
A flower that's just cute isn't enough
With all your might, gather happiness on the jet plane that bursts from your dreams
There is always only one case in the heart
It may be such a tiny fragment
Of romance right now
But it's linked to wonderful future
It'll shine more brightly tomorrow
Goodbye, My Dear Friend
Welcome to Miyagami Peninsula Station Shopping Arcade
I bought the groceries, so now I just have to buy detergent, a toothbrush and...
Hm?
Please take me home
Abandoned cats or something?
I'd love to take them home, but I can't afford to do it financially...
But...
Huh?
Th-That's...
This is...
I'm Pucchan!
Yeah right!
No, I'm not. My name is Lance.
Lance
I'm Lance.
D-Don't tell me you're just like Rino's puppet?!
Rino?
Wh-What?
Huh...
Now that I get a closer look at you, you're pretty cute.
Wh-What? What do you think you're doing?!
You look better this way, honey.
...and the outfit is so cute!
Really?
Izumi?
Is something the matter?
I'm not really sure...
but this puppet said he has some business with you.
Heh
That puppet is...
Don't say anything, Rino!
Pucchan?
Enemies Fight Bad Blood Foes
Are they enemies?
Pucchan.
Lance.
Long time no see, Pucchan.
You, too, Lance.
It kinda seems like a friendship between guys.
I have, like, no idea what's going on here...
His name is Lance. We took a pledge of brotherhood.
Nice to meet ya, lady.
Yes, nice to meet you!
Are you sure about this? Aren't you even a little suspicious of him?
Why?
Look, the whole idea of a puppet having friends is...
Puppets friends
Look, the whole idea of a puppet having friends is...
or for that matter just the idea of a puppet TALKING is, well...
Puppets friends
Puppets talking
or for that matter just the idea of a puppet TALKING is, well...
Oh, never mind...
You sure?
Rino, I'm leaving Lance with you, so please take care of him.
Okay.
Bye, Lance.
Thanks, Kaori.
I had a good time yesterday.
You silly...
What? What is this?
What happened? What?!
You haven't changed a bit, have you, Lance?
Oh, stop it.
What? What HAPPENED?!
Well, see ya!
Thank you!
Hey, wait!
Hey, what was that about? What happened?!
This is really bugging me!
Lance...
There...
There's another one...
Lovely.
Wh-What is this?
You must be Rino's friends. Allow me to introduce myself.
Lance
My name is Lance,
a lone puppet who tears through the battlefield called life!
Pucchan
My name is Pucchan, a puppet who's nothing more and nothing less.
We know that.
My name is Rino Rando!
We know that, too.
Rino, how many of these puppets do you have?
He doesn't belong to me.
Lance and I met today for the first time... Right?
Yeah.
Don't be ridiculous.
Are you telling me the puppet came to visit you or something?
Nanaho, it's better not to think too much about it.
I think that's the best for you, too.
How interesting! Rino, let me see the puppet!
Little girl, you wouldn't be able to lead me around by the collar in a million years.
Oh, you tease!
It looks like you guys are having fun.
Miss President.
Rino, who's the puppet?
That's Pucchan's friend, Lance.
I see.
Nice to meet you, Lance.
I'm the student council president, Kanade Jinguji.
Jinguji...
Yes?
Oh, it's nothing.
Miss President, this Miyagami Academy is a nice place.
It didn't take me much to figure that out.
Thank you, Lance.
On top of that, there sure are a lot of good looking girls here.
This is indeed Paradise!
He's a pretty pleasant puppet, don't you think?
I agree.
Say, by the way, Lance... what have you been up to all this time?
I've been traveling all over the world.
All over the world?
Yeah. I was in Hawaii until just the other day.
He said Hawaii! Isn't that cool, Pucchan?
Were you there for work?
No. You see, I was dumped in the river two months ago, and...
Then you drifted to Hawaii, right?
Exactly.
Whoa, you sure drifted a long way, Lance!
Yeah, no kidding.
Hahahahaha...
Sounds like a lot of trouble...
You said... Lance?
Yes.
It's a puppet that came to visit the puppet Rino Rando owns.
Another puppet, huh?
Rino certainly has strange acquaintances, doesn't she?
This just can't be explained using common sense.
If you think about it very carefully, it's even like...
The puppet Rino Rando owns has power that's almost beyond human understanding...
Could it be?!
Seina...
So this is Chieri's daughter, Rino Rando, huh?
So she still hasn't awoken to it yet?
No.
She was just a little baby when I first met her.
I can't believe she's already grown so much...
It's been 14 years since then. It's no wonder she's grown so much.
She's grown up to be such a nice, down-to-earth girl.
She's also clumsy and dumb.
That doesn't matter.
After all, what Chieri wanted was for her was to live lively, happily and genuinely.
I guess you're right.
Lance... Lance... Lance...
Pucchan.
What?
I stopped by at Chieri's house before I came here.
So Chieri is...
I see.
She's gone, huh?
She was in good spirits until the very last moment.
That sounds like her.
Yeah.
She was a good person.
But at the same time she was a little strange, too.
What's with the collision detection?!
I'm tired of playing this damn game!
She was the kind of person who'd do whatever she could to make things amusing.
She seriously believed that female unicorn beetles are stag beetles...
She was one odd person, huh?
Yeah, she sure was.
Hey, stop hiding back there and come out.
Miss President?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you.
Hey, no biggie.
Say, Miss President, you're the one who invited Rino to this school, right?
Are you trying to drag her into the Jinguji family?
No.
She wouldn't do such a thing.
In fact, no pursuers showed up at Chieri's house.
She knew about it, but she didn't say a thing.
Miss President is trustworthy.
Then why did she invite Rino Rando here?
Lance, she's the future head of the Jinguji family.
What?
You see, it's best to hide a leaf in the woods.
Please trust me.
She should live her life honestly and genuinely...
without knowing anything!
I found it! I can't believe I found it on such a high security level.
Lance Bean:
Member of the Jinguji Private Special Unit Contra.
He has conducted various missions all over the world
alongside with his partner Bill Ranzer.
His personal history and age are unknown.
He was killed in the line of duty in 1986.
His registration was cancelled thereafter.
A puppet with the name of someone who was closely associated with the Jinguji family...
Rino Rando...
Who are you?
Just who are you?
Pucchan, pass me the ketchup!
Don't ask me. Get it yourself!
Come on, don't be like that! We're buddies, aren't we?
Hey, I don't need any "buddies" who are always asking me for stuff!
What did you just say?!
Check this out!
Hey, what do you think you're doing, Pucchan?
That's my sandwich!
Who said it's yours?
It was decided unanimously at my meeting, in accordance with the Constitution of Me.
There's no such constitution!
Um...
Huh?
Now that I think about it I can't eat like this...
Hmph, you greedy bastard!
Right back at you!
What did you say? You're nothing but a puppet!
Not like you're any different!
You want a piece of me?!
Who do you think you're talking to?!
You really want me to knock the stuffing out of you so bad?
Try me!
Stop it! Don't fight!
I never liked you to begin with!
What a coincidence! I didn't like you either!
Then I'll give you a fight like you've never seen!
You vile vermin!
C'mon, stop it!
Growl...
Y-You handle Lance please...
Uh, okay...
Thank goodness!
He came that close to draining my energy completely!
Then you shouldn't do that.
I agree.
Hey, Lance, aren't you going to tell me the truth already?
What made you come see me?
It just happened. I just happened to find myself here.
When I realized my old buddy was also here, I just decided to drop in, that's all.
Hey, how long have you two known each other?
I didn't know about Lance before,
so that means that you two must have known each other even before I was born, right?
Yeah, our inseparable relationship has lasted so long.
It's so long that I can't even remember when I first met him.
A lot has happened, huh?
There was one time when we were running together in the middle of the battlefield.
I was so glad that we were puppets back then.
If it weren't for that, we'd have died so many times over.
That's right.
How do you even come up with this stuff?
Lance, how's your aim?
I haven't lost the touch yet.
Check this out!
Bang!
That's my man, Lance!
Lance, you're awesome!
Did he just shoot?
Flap flap
With THIS?!
It's just for entertainment. Don't worry about it.
Oh, I'm worried!
Kaori Izumi
Rein?
Is something wrong?
One of our students is being picked on by some male student...
out in front of the school gates!
Hurry! Express! Super express!
O-Okay!
All right!
Lance!
Right! Why don't we give him a nice big, warm welcome?
Come on, girl! Come with me.
No! Please let go! Don't get all over me like that!
Hey, that's just the kind of guy I am!
No!
Stop it!
Huh? Stop it!
Wh-Who are you?!
Pucchan!
Lance!
Transform!
H-How did that happen?!
Don't go there!
Hey, dude!
Looks like you don't know how to win a girl's heart correctly!
If you're going to do it, be classy about it!
Girls like to be treated more delicately!
If that's the only way you know how to sweet-talk women,
then you've already lost the game of life!
Just go ahead and become a sorry ass middle-aged man who gropes girls on the train!
Pucchan!
Lance!
Double burning!
Contra!
They totally took it too far...
That was pretty good, Lance.
Same with you.
What's wrong?
I haven't exercised for a while so now I'm feeling it in my back.
Getting old, eh?
Yeah, got that right.
Hey, what kind of material are you guys made of?
It's a secret.
A BIG secret!
Oh yeah, Kaori...
What?
I've got a favor to ask. Will you hear me out?
Um, sure...
Yes, come in.
Excuse me, Miss Kanade.
Oh... How can I help you?
This puppet wants to talk to you.
I see... All right.
Kaori, I'm sorry to ask you this, but will you excuse us for a second?
Well, if you'll excuse me...
Guess who?
S-Seina?
You're correct!
Seina...
You're trying to touch something you need to keep your hands off.
Don't make me get serious.
O-Okay...
Great! Thanks, Kotoha!
I'm sorry, Miss President.
Lance?
I guess you figured it out, huh?
Actually, the effect of the power is going to wear off.
Chieri's?
Then I could...
Hold your horses. Thanks, but no thanks.
I've been like this for 20 years now.
I think it's perfect timing.
At first, I was going to just disappear without saying anything.
I just wanted to come see Chieri's daughter and Pucchan one last time.
I see that you didn't run from the Jinguji, unlike Chieri...
Right.
I chose to change things from the inside instead.
But before I do that I wanted to go to school, so...
School, eh?
It's been a long time since I've been able to enjoy the atmosphere like this.
Schools are cool, huh?
There's all kinds of stuff to be found here.
Good things and bad things...
Meetings and goodbyes...
And there are also things that you can only enjoy now.
Paradise for a limited time, huh?
Not exactly.
They'll pick up where we leave off,
and things will continue without an end, won't they?
Thank you for everything you've done, Lance.
But from now on you can live your life freely...
You can live it however you want to live it...
This was about the only thing I could do for you, though...
No, it was more than enough, Chieri...
Miss President.
Yes?
Please take care of Chieri's daughter and Pucchan for me.
I will.
I see... It's pretty convincing...
I can tell that... this place is Paradise...
Lance. Here, at Miyagami Academy I...
Lance?
What?
Lance left?
Yeah, he did.
He said something urgent came up.
He came to me and asked me to ship him in a package to the destination.
I see...
But I wish he could have said something to us...
It's all right, Rino.
Lance is a shy guy.
I'm sure he was too shy to say goodbye face to face.
You are his best friend after all, aren't you, Pucchan?
Where did that come from all of a sudden?
Because you seem to know him very well!
I've just known him for a long time, that's all.
Come on, be honest!
You dope! I am being honest!
There aren't many people who are as honest as... me...
There aren't...
Pucchan?
There aren't... There aren't!
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
Are you sad because Lance is gone?
Don't cry, Pucchan!
When you cry, you make me sad too!
Rino... Pucchan...
Don't worry. I'm sure you'll meet him again... some day... somewhere...
Miss Kanade's kind words and the smell of orange osmanthus
are gently surrounding me and Pucchan.
"I must never forget or lose that kindness."
That feeling came over me very strongly at that moment.
Because I knew that those things are priceless...
There are as many stars twinkling in the sky
As there are heartbreaking loves that I've been through
So I won't get discouraged, because one day my wish will come true
Keep on watching over me quietly, so quietly that could even stop the time
When I'm in love, I know everything will seem so special
So that the moment I dreamed of will come
Cast a magic spell that can turn even tears to jewels
These feelings I can't let go of will likely become part of me
So I won't get discouraged but will keep the flames of passion alive
Just like a flower bravely blossoming in a heavy squall
Let my everyday life shine brighter, and believe in the smile of tomorrow
