Charles?! What are you doing here?
I came in pursuit of you, Princess Teresa de Larsenburg, future queen of Larsenburg.
Just kidding!
My university is on holiday, so I wanted to see your beloved Japan, Teresa.
What about work?
As long as I have my computer and smartphone, I can do general tasks, no matter where I go.
These flowers are so pretty.
They're the "Teresa, Princess of Larsenburg," which I had made recently.
It means "vow of love" in the language of flowers.
Lovely, isn't it?
"Vow of love"...
Thank you, Charles.
You'd like to tour our high school?
You can introduce me as just your childhood friend.
Telling your friends the truth would cause a lot of trouble, right?
Understood. I'll make arrangements for your tour.
Thank you.
Well, see you tomorrow.
Isn't that great, Miss Teresa?
What?
I feel reassured about everything since Sir Charles came for you.
You like Charles, right?
I do.
Because I respect him, and he is a fine fiancé worthy of you, Teresa, the future queen of Larsenburg.
That's true...

Photo Contest
Come Join the Photography Club!! Photography Club
Wh-wh-who...
Who is that dashing man who seems as if he's been blessed by God with the whole package, Tada?
I don't know.
Well, he's no match for me, right?!
This is Charles, my childhood friend.
His university is out for summer break, so he came to visit Japan.
Bonjour! I'm Charles de Loire. It's a pleasure.
All of these photos are so lovely.
Right?
They taught me how to take pictures, you know.
That sounds like fun.
These are...
I took those pictures.
Wh-what?!
I see! You look cool in your photos, but you look far cooler in person, Ijuin-kun!
I know, right?! Photos don't do my charm justice! You get that, don't you, Charles?!
Yeah.
Ijuin-senpai drastically changes at the drop of a hat when he gets a compliment.
Indeed.
These animals have some nice expressions, too.
I took those pictures.
I can feel the effort the photographer put into it.
Oh, Charles-san! You get me! I'm so happy! Thanks, man!
You, too?!
These are very beautiful scenic photos.
Of course. Those are the places where HINA did her gravure photoshoots...
in other words...
holy places, that's why!
HINA?
That is his favorite gravure idol.
Huh...? She's...
What's so funny?
My apologies. She certainly is beautiful like a goddess.
Just as I'd expect from Teresa-kun's childhood friend! He has a good eye! He is an extremely fine gentleman!
These are pretty flowers and birds.
Those are Hasegawa-san's photos!
They're lovely, mademoiselle.
Thank you very much.
And these?
Those photos are mine.
I see... Tada-kun's photos...
They're marvelous! I feel like I understand the beauty of Japan just by looking at these photos!
Thank you very much.
So, where is your photo, Teresa?
This one is mine!
A rock?
It looked like a penguin smiling. Isn't it cute?
This is a courting penguin, right?
Yes! I found it in the courtyard!
Excellent. You two are attuned to each other.
So, they can tell it's a penguin.
Then, this photo is yours, right, Alec?
You're always good at finding adorable things, after all.
I-is that so?
It's a very nice photo!
Oh? Are you blushing, Alec?!
Eep!
Oh, and your photo, too, Teresa!
Do you really think so?
Of course! I mean it!
Geez...
Oh! Please look at the picture I took the other day!
Don't Charles and Teresa-chan look somewhat alike, Mitsuyoshi?
Alec won, you know!
Really? They're all lovely!
Yeah, they do.
Right?
Tada Coffee Shop
Here! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Mm, it's delicious!
Thank you very much.
It's nice that you have such a lovely shop next door.
If I were you, I'd wind up visiting every day.
Please visit! We'd be delighted to have you!
Thank you, Yui-san. I'll definitely drop by when I'm in the area.
Okay!
Wow! They're sparkling!
Is Charles-san really just your childhood friend?
Yes, he is.
Oh, yeah?
Oh? Was this your seat?
What's your name?
WHA-?!
His name is Nyanko Big.
Meow!
Nyanko Big, huh?
That's a unique name. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Purr, purr, purr...
An intrepid Nyanko Big.
Huh?
He acts totally different when it's me!
No fair, Nyanko Big! Be nice to me, too!
Hiss!
Eek!
And while we're at it, a trepid Nyanko Big.
There are plenty of lovely photos here, too...
Amazing people really do exist!
He's cool, kind, and Nyanko Big even likes him!
He also manages a company while attending university.
He's superman, then!
Yes, he is.
Hmph! Well, I'm gonna be a big and super chef some day!
Right, Mitsuyoshi?!
Good luck.
Thanks!
Is this also Tada-kun's photo?
Huh? Oh... no.
That photo was taken by my late father.
Tada-kun and Yui-chan's father was a photographer. He and their mother died in an accident ten years ago.
I see...
It must've been difficult for you since they both passed.
I've got Grandpa, Big Bro, and Nyanko Big, so it's okay!
Yeah!
It seems that way.
Tada Coffee Shop
I really enjoyed today.
Please come by again.
Charles-san, you're going to be in Japan for a while, right?
Yeah!
Oh! Well, you know, there's a party tomorrow, so why don't you guys come, Charles included?
I'm a celebrity, so I'll invite you to a celebrity party!
Kaoru-kun, I believe real celebs don't call themselves celebrities.
For real?!
Thank you for the invitation, Ijuin-kun. But I'm afraid I have a previous engagement tomorrow.
I see. Then, what about Teresa-chan and Alec?
We have plans, too.
Really? That's a shame...
Well, you're going, right, Mitsuyoshi?!
The party's gonna be like, "Ta-da! Free food," but not like, "Tada, here's your food."
Hey, give me something!
Well, we'll take our leave.
Thank you for the coffee!
See ya later, Teresa-chan and Alec!
Good night!
I want to see Nyanko Big again!
He's cute, isn't he?
Charles-san seems like a real prince!
Well, he's no match for me!
That means Big Bro can't win against him...
What are you talking about?
Hey, over here!
This way, guys!
I-is it okay for us to be at a party like this, Tada?
Probably... yeah.
Is my bow tie okay like this?
It's fine.
Hey! It's a good thing you came looking like some Japanese innkeeper.
Youch!
Sheesh...
This is seriously like, a legit celebrity party, huh?
There's a lot of meat over there, Yamashita.
For reals?! Awesome!
Let's get going!
Wait, what?
Isn't that Charles-san?
Huh? Where? Where?
Look, way over there.
Whoa! You're right!
Who are the ladies who are with him?
Aren't they his girlfriends?
What?! Two girlfriends?!
How insolent! He's much too popular! Right, Tada?
No, they're...
T-T-T-Teresa-chan and A-A-Alec-Alec?!
They're so beautiful!
Yeah!
Are you serious?
Wait, what are they doing here?!
Tada-kun?
Hey!
Fancy meeting all of you here!
Charles!
What are the odds of us planning to attend the same party?
Yeah! I'm seriously shocked! And Teresa-chan and Alec were with you, huh?
An acquaintance of mine threw this party, so I invited these two to come along.
Oh, so that's why.
Man, you two are super pretty! We're super impressed! Right, Mitsuyoshi?
Hey, you're staring.
Oh, sorry.
Monsieur Loire!
Shall we finish saying hello?
Sure.
We'll see you later.
Later.
See ya!
Wow... He really is a bona fide celebrity.
Hmph! Of course!
Well, I guess I'll go say hello!
I was talking about Charles-san...
I smell roast beef!
That's Yamashita Dog for you. I'm surprised he could tell.
I'll say hello, too!
Hold it right there, Hajime-chan.
Guess I'll go take some pictures or something...
What do you think of summer in Japan, Monsieur Loire?
I had heard from a friend that it's hotter than Africa here, but I never expected that that would be true.
Is that so?
Well, summer will be at its peak from here on out.
Oh! I'm so sorry!
No, it's my fault!
My, what should we do about that?
Let's get you in another dress right away.
No, it'll be okay if I wipe it off.
But...
Really, it's okay...
I'm truly sorry.
That sounds like fun!
Yeah. Please come with us next time.
Let Charles know.
Okay.
There!
That...!
That looks like the building that appeared in the final episode of Rainbow Shogun season one!
Wow...
It'll only be for a bit...
Alec, shall we dance?
No, I...
Please, at least until Teresa comes back.
I wonder who he's going to dance with.
Me!
Me, for sure!
Okay...
Wow!
My...!
How lovely!
I'm so jealous!
I wonder what their relationship is.
If you make such a scary face, I'll feel like I bullied you into this. So, could you smile a little for me?
I see...
Looks like it's going to rain.
Guess I'll head back in.
Huh? Tada-kun?!
This way!
Are you okay?
Y-yeah...
You'll catch a cold...
Thank you very much.
We've been through something like this before.
Huh?
Back when we first met.
Where are you headed?
Huh?
I'll walk you home.
Uh...
Now that you mention it... it was raining like this, and you helped me out back then, too, Tada-kun.
You really ARE Rainbow Sho-
I'm not a rain-bringer.
Huh?
Oh, perhaps you're the rain-bringer?
N-no!
Oh, but when I was child, it always rained on the days that we had picnics, I think?
That settles it.
What? So, it's me?
I'm glad all of Teresa's school friends are nice people.
Is that so? Well, I don't know about some of them, but for the most part, they are...
Achoo! Brrr... It's chilly!
Honestly, I was worried that she was getting homesick.
I'm glad that my concern was unfounded.
But being apart from each other is one thing. Mutual neglect is another.
Yeah...
That's from the recent Star Festival, right?
Yeah.
Wow! So cute! He looks comfortable!
Nyanko Big-san is so gallant.
When his tail is standing up straight, it's proof that he's aware of the camera.
Is that so?
Teresa sure is taking a while.
I can't find her!
Where could she have gone?!
Calm down a bit, Alec. She's an adult now.
Right...
I'll go look for her now.
Hm?
Alec?
What's wrong?
Teresa is gone!
It stopped raining.
Yeah.
It's the North Star. It's a lucky sign that always shows us the way.
Huh?
My favorite nanny told me that.
Nanny?
Uh... my parents were busy, so I spent a lot of time with my nanny.
No matter when or where you go, the starlight guides you when you've lost your way.
That's why, whenever I'm lost, I look up at the stars.
Grandpa said the same thing.
Really?
He said that the North Star always shows us the way.
That's why I look up at the stars, too...
We've been looking at the same star, huh?
Teresa!
Alec?
I was worried about you, Teresa!
I'm sorry...
I wanted to see this building...
but then, it rained...
so we took shelter from the rain.
No, it's my fault.
I let you go alone.
Now, now, Alec.
Charles...
We've found her.
Are you all right?
Yes...
Thanks, Tada-kun.
No, I'm sorry. It's because I suggested that we take shelter from the rain.
It's okay. I'm glad that you're both safe and sound.
Well, shall we go, Teresa?
Alec, sorry about today...
I'm making soup right now, so...
I'll be careful from now on.
Tada-kun, Ijuin-kun, Hasegawa-san, Pin-senpai, and Yamashita-kun...
They're all nice and wonderful friends that I made in Japan.
But...
once our study abroad is over, we're going back to our country.
And I'll marry Charles and become queen.
I had made up my mind about that when I came to Japan.
Right.

He said he'll be home soon!
Then, I'll play with Nyanko Big and wait. I don't mind if he hisses at me!
No, you should mind...
