Episode 24

Aoi

Then let's go.

Yes.

A-Aoi-sama!

Why?

Please take us...

to the Sakuraba house.

Is it really all right?

Yes.

I decided so with Kaoru-sama.

Yes.

We decided last night...

to talk things out.

Kaoru is an awkward guy.

He can't lie to himself.

But that's what's so good about him.

Kagurazaki, explain what's going on.

Y-Yes, master.

Actually...

Father.

Miyabi-san only listened to my selfishness.

My selfishness that I want to see Kaoru-sama.

All responsibilities is with me this time.

I will be making the decisions.

Miyabi-san is not at fault.

I am to blame.

Aoi.

I apologize for the sudden visit.

But I wanted to discuss some-

You stay quiet.

This is a problem of the Sakurabas.

No, Father.

Please listen to Kaoru-sama's words.

That is about my feelings, as well.

Feelings.

Please listen.

I have no need to.

Please.

Senpai really has a straightforward heart.

That's why he seems so bright.

And watching him like that,

I think about how I need to work even harder.

Please.

Please listen.

I beg of you, as well.

Please listen to Kaoru-dono's-

Don't overstep your bounds.

Think about your place.

I am in charge of educating Aoi-sama.

To see Aoi-sama happy means everything to me.

I understood.

Please speak up.

Mother.

Thank you very much.

I...

I am no longer a member of the Hanabishi house.

The situation is different from back then.

I am now an ordinary college student.

I have no promises about the future.

But...

But I...

I wondered what you'd say, but it turns out to be of that sort?

Did you think I would allow you in your current state to see Aoi?

I am disgusted beyond words.

You betrayed us!

You ran away.

You betrayed my daughter's feelings,

the one who did her best, believing in you as a fiancé,

and our feelings that cared for our daughter!

I thought what you wanted to discuss was an apology,

I have no intent on letting you have my daughter.

If you understand, leave this house now!

Father!

I...

It's true that I broke the promise.

I guess you can't really say we're engaged.

I might not be forgiven for what I've done.

But I didn't want to run any more, for Aoi-chan's sake, too!

For Aoi's sake?

Hanabishi-sama has a very kind heart.

Yet he's strong.

I'm sure that's because, more than anyone else, he knows the pain in his heart.

I have no family.

My father and mother were not allowed to get married.

My mother was said to be unworthy of the family name.

And she and I were pulled away from my father after my birth.

But after my father passed away in an accident,

the Hanabishis looked for an heir and forced me back into their home.

At that time, I was separated from my mother, my only family.

The Hanabishi house had no love,

and I dreamt of being reunited with my mother.

Since then, I've been all alone.

With nobody to rely on,

and nowhere to return to.

I was lonely and sad.

This feeling, the pain of losing one's family,

was one I never wanted Aoi-chan to experience.

That's why I decided to come here and discuss things.

Kaoru-dono.

Is that all?

Eh?!

Did you think I'd forgive you after hearing that?

What a fool.

Father!

Father, please wait!

Aoi-chan is...

Sakuraba Aoi-san is irreplaceable to me!

I don't want to lose a loved one ever again!

I'm sorry.

Kaoru-sama.

Kaoru-san, Aoi.

It is all right.

Eh!

Your father has accepted Kaoru-san.

Eh!

Madam?

That is why your father chose not to cast Kaoru-san out,

but instead left the room himself.

Onii-chan.

When you're here, Onii-chan, I...

yubisaki kara koboreochita toki no nagare wo modoshitakute

Wanting to bring back the time that slipped away from their fingers,

feel really at ease,

and I forget everything bad that happens.

hito wa tokidoki umi ni kimasu ne

people sometimes come to the sea.

namiuchi giwa omoun desu

I think at right where the waves crash.

Father.

taisetsu na mono anika hitotsu

One very important thing,

Please forgive my lack of manners earlier.

zutto kawarazu ite hoshii to

that I want to keep looking at forever.

I like to see you smile.

But since you came home, you have not smiled even once.

The day you were born,

the sky was a piercing blue.

Like today.

The blue color heals one's heart.

Note: "Ao" = Blue.

Kind and pure.

Such a meaning lies within your name.

It is not that I have forgiven that man.

I just want you to always be smiling.

You are my daughter.

A daughter more precious than my own life.

Father.

This is your home.

Come back at any time.

Thank you.

Thank you so much, Father.

It really was a good thing, Aoi-sama.

Miyabi-san, I am sorry to have troubled you so much this time.

Please raise your head.

I just did what I felt was appropriate.

Kaoru-dono, I trust you with Aoi-sama.

Eh?!

Miyabi-san?

What do you mean?

My duties are now done.

Aoi-sama, some areas may have needed improvement,

please forgive me.

I hope you live happily ever after with Kaoru-dono.

Miyabi-san.

Let us all go back together, Miyabi-san.

To where our "Family" awaits us.

Eh!

Right. I'm sure they're all waiting.

kikanakute mo tsunagaru

Connecting even without listening.

iwanakute mo kotoba wa

Without saying words.

Hey, why?

Welcome Back

Finally

Why are you getting a party ready?

sou kuchibiru no kaze ni naru

Yes, the lips dance in the air.

Did Onii-chan or the others contact you?

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

No, not at all.

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Then why?

anata no manazashi wa yuuzuki no you desu

Your gaze is like the moon at twilight.

If they don't come back today, all the food will go to waste.

That's right!

I don't understand at all!

Wait, why are you here?

Don't worry about the small details.

Hey, why is it?

yuuzuki no you desu

Like the moon at twilight.

Because they might come home today.

Welcome Back

Finally

Getting dinner ready so they can come home anytime.

And welcoming them with a smile.

That's what it means to be a family!

Family?

Huh!

Right.

You don't get it.

I don't blame you.

But,

if you live here, you'll get it.

Here,

to live?

Ah!

Could it be?

They're back!

We're back.

I have just returned.

Ai Yori Aoshi

Welcome home!

It's nice and warm. Feels good.

You're so right.

I slept so well during that lecture.

I'm full of energy now because of that!

Please stop that, Tina-senpai!

By the way, Mayu,

how far are you tagging along?

Mayu is being invited to Hanabishi-sama's house today.

Today?

You come and have fun every day!

It just happened that way.

And you weren't invited in the first place!

That's for Mayu to decide!

That's a strange reasoning!

See? Uzume welcomes me.

Uzume, you traitor!

Uzume has gotten used to Mayu-san now.

This is "Operation: Kiss the Squire First to Kiss the Knight"!

Welcome home, everyone.

Aoi-chan, we're-

Eh?!

Hey, Hanabishi!

You're late!

Suzuki! Satou!

What's going on?

We're moving! Moving!

Moving?

Wait, you're moving here?

Huh?!

What are you talking about?

Don't get the wrong idea, Hanabishi.

I fell asleep.

Chika-chan!

Chika-rin!

Are you awake now, Chika-san?

Huh, Onii-chan!

Hold it!

W-W-W-What are you doing among other things?

I allow Chika-rin to.

Yay!

Mayu won't allow it!

Hey, get away from him!

What's this about?

Chika-san will be living in this house starting today.

Here?

Come to think of it, she got accepted to a high school here.

We'll be together every day now, Onii-chan!

Look at this, it's my high school uniform!

Heh!

I wore it here to show you, Onii-chan!

Then Mayu, too!

Hanabishi-sama!

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

Kaoru-sama!

My, my!

Damn it, get away!

Oh, Hanabishi-sama, this barbarian is being violent!

Barbarian?

Chika-chan's being flattened by you all!

Oh, no!

Ah! Get off! All of you, get off!

Cheers!

Chika-rin, my best regards again.

Tina Nee-chan, you have to teach me all sorts of things!

Sure!

Ask me if there's something you don't get!

I'll teach you anything.

Other than academics.

What was that?

Oh?

You have a problem with me, an officially invited guest?

Kanrinin-san!

Can you say something to that irritating guest?

No fondling of breasts.

Chika-rin's Big Welcome Party !

O-Oh, out of habit!

What do you mean out of habit, Tina-san?

I'm sorry, Kanrinin-san!

Geez, Tina-senpai!

It's a sad instinct.

I am Saionji Ruka.

Ah! N-Nice to meet you.

I'm Minazuki Chika.

It's nice to see cherry blossoms at night.

Yes.

The stars are beautiful, too.

Yes.

Um, Aoi-chan.

If you look at me, you can't see stars or cherry blossoms.

It is all right.

I want to watch you right now, Kaoru-sama.

R-Really?

A-Aoi-chan!

I-I apologize! Did I suffocate you?

No, um...

It's not that I couldn't breathe.

It felt nice.

Oh my, Kaoru-sama!

Sorry, sorry.

But I want you to do that again.

Eh?!

Can you do it again?

K-Kaoru-sama.

Please do not look at me like that!

Just joking.

All right.

Heh!

One more time, right?

I had always been lonely during this season of cherry blossoms.

Why?

There is a large cherry tree in the Sakuraba home, which is our family namesake.

And in the spring, I always looked at the tree and thought,

"I didn't get to see Kaoru-sama this year, though!"

"But maybe I will later this year."

I wondered if I'd be able to see the cherry blossoms with you someday.

But after I met you, Kaoru-sama, I was able to see the flowers again this year.

So I am very happy right now.

Aoi-chan.

You'll see them next year, too.

As well as the year after that, and the years later, for ever.

For ever.

Right, for ever.

Kaoru! Ooya-san!

You're out there, right?

How about a game together?

Come on!

All right!

We're coming!

Shall we go back, Aoi-chan?

Sure.

What's wrong, Aoi-chan?

I-It's nothing!

Then let's play some more.

Ehm!

Um, um...

Heh? Again?
