W-we've arrived, sir...
For today's schedule, you will visit the Christmas Market with the children at 11 AM.
After that, you will return to the royal palace,
and you will dine with Their Majesties, Sir Charles, and the Belgian royal family at 6 PM.
Okay. Thank you, Alec.
Pardon my intrusion.
My!
It looks perfect on you, Miss Teresa.
Thank you, Rachel.

Sorry for Surprising You...
Mitsuyoshi...
I know just how afraid of flying you are, but it's already been three hours!
DAH! This puts a damper on my determination to keep watching over you from a distance until the end!
Just get a move on, Mitsuyoshi!
Huh?
Ijuin?
Oh, crap!
Like he'd be here...
Oh, look at the time.
GIN
I have an acquaintance over there, so go pay her a visit.
Tada Coffee Shop
You know someone in Larsenburg?
Yeah. I put her gifts and address in the bag.
Who is it?
You'll know once you're there.
I'm sure she'll help you out.
Big Bro, you're gonna be late!
Meow!

Reiko Ryuzaki
Shozo Tada
Reiko Ryuzaki? Could it be...?
Rachel is Japanese.
I heard that her real name was Reiko. But she was called Rachel in Larsenburg.
Reiko Ryuzaki
The North Star person...?
What is he doing?
Huh?
Ah!
Are those what I think they are?!
They're hot chocolate spoons.
It brings back memories! I had one with Alec and Teresa-chan!
Glance!
All right!
Thank you!
Hi!
This one, please!
O-okay...
Here!
Thank you!
Mmm, smells SO good!
Huh?
Hey, wait, Mitsuyoshi!
Ah!
There he is!
Thank goodness...
Hm? Wait, what? Huh?
My wallet!
Hey!
Huh?
You!
ME?!
Wow! Thank you! Seriously, thank you very much!
Huh?
ACK! Wait! Mitsuyoshi!
Is it this way?
This is... the place, right?
Where do I enter?
I wonder if Tada-senpai's already arrived.
Indeed.
I wonder if he was okay riding an airplane.
Tada Coffee Shop Yeah, I wonder if he has met up with Teresa.
You guys! Sorry to keep you waiting!
Whoa! It's huge! Wow!
Grandpa and I can't finish all of it ourselves. So, have some, you guys!
Meow!
You can't have any, Nyanko Big!
Meow...
Come here, Nyanko Big. I'll give you kibbles.
Meow...
See ya, Nyanko Big!
Huh?
Hm?
Heat it up before you eat! Scrumptiously eat it up! Kaoru
It's Ijuin's cooking, huh?
He always goes all out.
The meat looks mighty tasty!
Let's eat, let's eat!
Yeah!
Don't mind if I do!
So, where did he go?
I don't know.
We haven't heard anything from him since the photo exhibition.
Could he have followed Tada-kun?
Well, he really loves Tada, after all.
No way...
He couldn't have.
Yeah...
ACHOO!
Oh, no. Someone's gossiping about me.
Yeah!
Geez, Mitsuyoshi. Where are you?
He's such a newb at traveling abroad.
Hm?
Wow! There's a lot of stuff!
Huh... Which ones should I buy?
Hmm, what should I pick?
Huh?
Huh? Huh?
WHAT IS THIS?!
T-Teresa-chan?! This IS her, right?
Oh, yes! It's Princess Teresa!
P... Princess?!
Excuse me!
Seriously... How do I get in?
Um, excuse me...
I'd like to see a person who lives here. Her name is Reiko Ryuzaki.
You can hear me, right?
It seems your dress for tomorrow was delivered.
I see...
I will confirm that it is here.
Thank you.
Well, I will come see you, once it is time for dinner.
All right.
Now, if I may excuse myself.
Rainbow Shogun Show
Always make your heart rainbow...
Yes?
Pardon my intrusion.
Are you all right, Miss Teresa?
I'm fine.
You always seem busy as of late.
The daifuku mochi look so delicious! Did you make these, Rachel?
Sweets are the best when you are tired.
Thank you.
That's a beautiful dress.
Is it for tomorrow?
Yes, Sir.
Your suit is lovely, too, Sir Charles.
That's true. Maybe I'll try it on.
Yes, Sir.
Here it is.
Thank you.
Also, hold on to this.
Yes, Sir.
You've always taken good care of it.
Yeah, it's something my mother handed down to me, after all.
It's also a memento of Teresa.
That's true...
I was taken aback to see you two covered in mud, so I remember it very well.
Hmm... How do I look, Alec?
Excuse me for a moment.
Yes?
Right. Oh, I see.
Thank you.
Yes. I see. I understand. Okay, I'll let you know.
It looks absolutely perfect on you...
Alec, Rachel made...
Um, excuse me. You can see me, right?
Oh? Are you...
...Shozo-chan?
Huh? Shozo is my grandfather...
That means you're Mitsuyoshi-kun?!
Would you happen to be Reiko Ryuzaki?
Yes, did you fly in from Japan just to see me?
Yes. My grandfather told me to pay you a visit and give you this.
Reiko Ryuzaki
Meet Your Maker! Rainbow Shogun Show Shozo Tada Rainbow Rice Crackers
I see... You still have no idea...
Huh?
Still, you look very much like Shozo-chan when he was younger. See?
I look like him...?
Tada Coffee Shop
Wait, this picture...
I worked part-time at Tada Coffee Shop a long time ago, back when I was a college student.
I never imagined that that connection would link us together in this way!
Rachel, I'd like to speak with you about the party tomorrow...
Wow! We've got a special guest!
Charles-san! It's been a long time!
Yeah, long time no see.
I had absolutely no idea how you felt, Alec...
What are you talking about?
I wonder how you felt when you were always with me.
You have feelings for Charles-
You're mistaken.
But...
You're mistaken.
I know that you do.
Have you ever fallen in love, Alec?
Well... no, never.
You don't have to be so obvious in running away.
I wasn't trying to...
You touch your arm like that when you tell a lie.
Alec, you...
You're mistaken.
But-
You're mistaken!
Even if I admit my feelings, would anything come of it?
She was in her room until a moment ago.
Teresa?
Here you are.
A special guest came for a visit.
Please, come on in.
It's a slightly early Christmas present, huh?
Tada-kun...?
Tada-kun, why are you here?
I'm here, because you disappeared all of a sudden.
He said that he came to pay Rachel a visit.
Daifuku mochi?
I'm sorry.
I apologize for not contacting you sooner. Thank you for all your help in Japan.
Y-yeah...
I'm sorry, but Miss Teresa has dinner plans after this.
Miss Teresa?
We still have time.
Our friend came all the way from Japan to visit us, so she can at least talk for a little bit.
However...
Teresa.
I heard that you hadn't told Tada-kun anything.
He has done so much for you,
so it would be best to clearly explain the situation and express your gratitude.
Alec, let's go.
I'll get you some tea right now.
Pardon my intrusion.
Sorry for surprising you...
I'm the one who should be apologizing.
Still, I'm glad you're okay.
Is everyone doing well?
Yeah. They're still the same as ever. See?
I'm glad.
Yeah.
Oh, this...
I'm very sorry I returned to my country without saying anything,
despite being very indebted to everyone.
I've actually been keeping a secret from all of you.
A secret?
My real name is Teresa de Larsenburg.
I am the only daughter of the King of Larsenburg, the ruler of this country.
Does that mean... you're the princess of this country?
Eventually, I must succeed my father and live on as queen.
So...
I bet you've been living your life wishing to be stronger ever since that day.
Yes, I may have realized that I needed to grow up quickly when I was seven years old, too.
...that's what you were talking about.
That's why...
For generations, we have had a rite of passage in the Larsenburg family
where we leave the country to expand our horizons.
So, I chose Japan for my study abroad.
And then, I met you and the others.
I was able to mature a lot, thanks to that wonderful experience.
I'm grateful for it, from the bottom of my heart.
I hoped for those days to continue...
but I was overjoyed and about to forget my duty.
That's why I ran back home.
There is simply no way for me to live the way that I want to.
I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to talk about it before.
You're not pushing yourself too hard, are you?
No. I love my father, mother, and the people in this country, after all.
Once I turn eighteen and get married, I will become queen.
Get married?
My betrothed is Charles.
Everything was already decided upon since the moment I was born.
Miss Teresa.
I'm sorry, Alec. Let me be alone for a little bit.
Mitsuyoshi-kun?!
Thank you for your help.
Take this.
Teresa, I like it when you smile, you know...
Hey, Mitsuyoshi!
Thank goodness! I've finally found you!
Huh?
Mitsuyoshi's crying?!

Mitsuyoshi, how was your first airplane ride?
I was so nervous that I can't remember a thing.
Cheer up! We went through the trouble of coming here, so firmly make up your mind!
