Elder as in elder sister.

As in the top oneesama.

Mizuho-oneesama will be the perfect Elder.

I'm sorry. I don't have the right.

I will never agree!

It was a dream.

Please come with me, amen.

I'll give you anything, my love.

Never failing days.

My heart full up, so love, love, love...

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

To fall in love with someone...

That's a big deal. It can even change the future.

Like a bunch of flowers blooming... ...bursting in my heart.

Strong winds and rain won't beat me.

It's not always pretty.

I want to reach for the person I love.

Love is the energy of life.

The sweet burning blossoms of love...

...bloom under its shining power.

It's a gift from God.

Ah, love...

When Maidens Choose a Maiden

Good morning, Kana-chan, Yukari-chan.

Good morning, Mizuho-oneesama.

Good morning.

Please sit down.

Good morning, Mizuho-chan.

Good morning.

You're up early today, Mariya.

Of course, it's our first day of work.

First day of work?

Did you forget?

We said we were going to nominate you as Elder.

E-Elder?

Mariya, you weren't serious.

Is there a problem with that?

We need 75% of the students' votes to get you elected.

That's a lot of work.

75%"?

Mizuho-oneesama?

Did you just think that's not possible?

Yes, I thought that.

However...

There's a different system for the Elder nominations.

One candidate nominates another candidate...

...and thereby gives her all of her votes.

The campaigning continues until one candidate...

...has over 75% of the votes.

But are the people who cast their ballots okay with that?

Since the person you support supports the candidate...

...I guess there aren't really any complaints.

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

The trick is to get as many advantageous supporters as possible.

Building consensus is key, right? Right?

Yes. I will work hard for Mizuho-oneesama.

Kana will too!

Now that that's decided, we have a lot of work to do.

We're going to get Mizuho-chan elected Elder...

...and bring Takako to her knees once and for all!

Let's finish breakfast!

Yes!

Year 3, Class A

It's almost the Elder elections.

Yes, I'm so excited.

The entire school is talking about the Elder elections.

It's a big deal to select an Elder.

Here you go, Mizuho-san.

What is this?

It's a voting form for the Elder election.

I will be voting for you.

Huh, why?

Why are you surprised? Most of our class is voting for you.

But why me?

I love your modesty.

See you.

Oh, Michiko-san...

Oh, what am I going to do?

I think it's a good thing.

Having an Elder as a classmate is a thing of great pride.

I appreciate everyone's support, but...

...don't you think it's strange that I'm a nominee?

Because I'm a...

I think that's a good thing too.

There is one thing I can say for sure.

What's that?

Mizuho Miyanokouiji is the perfect candidate for Elder.

But, Shion-san!

The race is split right now.

Kei-san!

It appears that this year's Elder race is down to you and Takako-san.

Takako-san!

It's not decided yet.

There's no point in worrying now.

Oh, next period is electives.

What's yours?

Oh, I have world history.

I see.

I'll see you later.

It's true. Nothing is decided yet.

But I wonder what Takako-san is thinking.

You...

G-Good day.

H-Hello.

We've never officially met.

Uh, no...

I am this year's student body president.

My name is Takako Itsukushima.

I'm Mizuho Miyanokouiji.

Now we know one another.

Well, then...

The French government at the time was known as the Ancien Regime...

Why is this happening? I can't focus on the lecture at all.

These were also known as the first, second, and third estates.

Although the church and the aristocrats were a small percentage...

Hmm?

Can I help you?

No, it's just...

I was thinking you take such precise notes.

Is that so unusual?

No, I was just impressed by your diligence.

Diligence?

I see the top scorer on the entrance exams has some breathing room.

I didn't mean it that way.

It's fine. I'm sure my brain is unlike your genius brain.

But why is a genius like you taking world history?

Huh? You're right. I wonder why.

I guess it looked interesting.

Interesting?

Yes. If we're made to study, we may as well choose...

...something interesting, wouldn't you agree?

Oh, I suppose.

And what about you?

Me?

I suppose because there is less competition.

It makes more sense to take a subject good for my college exams.

I see. I didn't think of that.

Mizuho-san, are you making fun of me?

Not at all. I think that you're even more honest than you think you are.

Huh?

All rise.

Bow.

F-Fine. But let me make one thing very clear.

What's that?

This school depends on its traditions.

No matter how much help you get from your friends to spread rumors...

...I cannot accept a new transfer student as an Elder.

If it should come to it, I will use the powers...

...of the student government to block it.

Okay.

That's all I wanted to say.

Good day, then.

Good day.

When she says friends, she means Mariya, right?

I hope she's not taking it too far.

Student Council Office

What is behind Mizuho-san's casual attitude?

And towards her rival in the Elder race, no less...

Group A will target the clubs...

...and group B will focus on each grade level for the election campaign.

We have to get the word out...

Hey...

Kimie-san!

Yes, what is it, President?

I wonder about the effectiveness of such a basic approach.

But...

Unfortunately, the movement to elect...

...Mizuho Miyanokouji is gaining momentum.

As the student council, we have to take action to roll it back or else...

Then we would be doing the same thing as Mariya-san!

What do you think the role of the student council is!

President, please calm down.

I am calm!

Everyone, please get out!

Mizuho Miyanokouiji...

I have nothing against you personally, but if it should come to it...

What did I do?

W-Well, you didn't do anything disrespectable?

Don't say things like that!

Yukari-chan, Kana-chan and I just told a few friends...

...about your beautiful "episode." That's all.

That's all...

Um, are you Mizuho-oneesama?

I was so moved by your story!

Good luck in the Elder elections!

Um, thank you.

We'll see you later.

Who are they?

Great! It looks like our plan is going well.

Our plan? But...

Remember this. Girls love to gossip.

The rumor has grown wings and is spread throughout the entire school.

That's fine.

You always do such a fine job.

We're counting on your dues next month.

Yes!

B-By the way...

...the Elder elections are coming up.

The Elder elections are soon.

I wonder who is going to be our Elder Sister.

I guess I just have to wait quietly for the results.

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

The Elder elections are about to close.

If you haven't cast your ballot yet...

...please do so at your designated polling place.

Collected ballots will be counted immediately.

The results will be announced in the assembly hall.

Please gather in the assembly hall after you have voted.

There's an air of excitement.

It's like they're waiting for their favorite idol.

Look, look, it's Mizuho-samal!

She's so beautiful.

I bet Mizuho-sama wins.

They're all talking.

Kana's glad she worked so hard.

It's not decided yet...

Takako!

Takako-san...

Mizuho-oneesama...

Your seat is this way.

It's going to start soon.

Um, we are now confirming the final counts.

Please just wait a little longer.

Huh? Hisako-sensei?

Members of the electoral committee and the student council...

...can be nominated too, so the faculty makes the announcement.

Oh, I see.

Almost...

My heart is about to explode!

Here it is!

In this election...

...there is a student who won 82% of the student-body votes.

I would like to take this moment to announce the results!

That's amazing!

Thank you.

This year's Elder Sister is...

Mizuho Miyanokouiji from class Al

No way.

She said 82%.

That's how much support you got. You did it, Mizuho-chan!

Mariya!

Congratulations, Mizuho-oneesamal!

Mizuho-oneesamal

Congratulations!

Oneesama, please take the stage.

B-But...

Go on!

Let's have a word from our new Elder Sister.

Third year, class A, Mizuho Miyanokouji-san!

Takako-san!

Takako!

Ma'am, can I have the mic please.

Y-Yes.

As student body president, I hereby object to the results of this election.

What!

I am not objecting to Miyanokouji-san herself.

When we select an Elder every year, we're supposed to choose...

...someone who will uphold the traditions of this school.

But this year's election was a popularity contest...

...based on the good looks and charm of a new transfer student.

Don't you think that iS an abasement...

...0f our academy's Elder tradition?

I would like to take this moment...

...to ask you to consider what this tradition means.

I'm sorry to do this to you, but I can't allow it.

Takako-san.

Wait a second.

Shion-san!

Shion-sama....

Takako-san?

Yes?

I don't have a right to speak, but will you allow me?

Y-Yes.

Thank you.

It is true that the Elder system has been a tradition at our school.

It is the culmination...

...0f the efforts of generations of Elders to become the ideal woman.

Unfortunately, I soiled this tradition.

S-Shion-sama, not at all...

But...

Therefore, allow me to say that...

...the qualifications for an Elder are not complex.

The driving power comes from the selection process of the students...

...and the approval that goes with it.

What's important is the simple fact that...

...Mizuho-san won tremendous support!

Isn't that a sign of your approval...

...and the essential prerequisite for an Elder?

Please don't use her being a new transfer student as reason to...

...withdraw the affection you displayed by casting your votes...

...0r to politicize the process.

This is what I cannot allow.

Shion-san.

Won't you please accept it, Takako-san?

Shion-sama...

Shion-san!

Shion-san!

Shion-san!

Shion-san!

Shion-samal!

Are you awake, Shion-san?

Mizuho-san...

The school nurse said you should be okay with rest.

I'm sorry. I'm embarrassed.

I've never been strong. Yet I get so worked up.

I hope I didn't cause you trouble.

N-Not at all. I've depended on your kindness since I arrived.

Perhaps you've been overdoing it for a long time?

But I had no idea you'd whisk me away like that.

Mizuho-san, you really are... aren't you?

Shion-san, just focus on getting better.

Please go back to the assembly hall.

I truly believe that you are meant to be Elder.

But Shion-san...

I'm fine.

So please...

Okay, since you insist.

Thank you.

Mizuho-oneesamal

Welcome back!

We've been waiting for you, new Elder Sister Mizuho Miyanokouiji.

But what about the objections?

That's been settled.

After what you did, no one has any doubts.

You were like a knight in shining armor when...

...you carried Shion-sama away like that.

I thought you were going to blow your cover.

Mizuho-san, you are now a full-fledged Elder accepted by all.

Hisako-sensei...

But...

I think it's just fine.

Like Jujou-san said, everyone chose you.

That's the only condition that matters, right?

Yes.

This time for sure...

Congratulations, new Elder!

Oneesama!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

W-Wait...

President?

This is the will of the entire student body.

Besides...

...when Shion-san fell, I froze.

Yet Mizuho-san...

President...

Mizuho Miyanokouji, what a mystery.

Good morning, oneesama.

Good morning.

Oneesama, good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

And so my days as Elder began...

I found you. That alone means it's a beautiful day.

I wish that every day could be like this.

I woke up before my alarm, good morning.

I can't stop smiling. I'm filled with anticipation.

Maybe today I'll find the courage.

And just say, "How are you?" like that.

I found you. That alone means it's a beautiful day.

I wish that every day could be like this.

Being close to you would make it a more beautiful day.

Yes, tomorrow I will find the courage to say hello.

OtoBoku

Oneesama, oneesama!

Big problem!

According to rumors, something unspeakable appears in this dorm!

You mean, as in...

The sound of a shower running in an empty bathroom...

Footsteps in the halls at night...

Don't scare me!

There can be no smoke without a fire!

Mizuho-chan, prepare yourself! your room is...

Come to think of it, your room is...

Next time on OtoBoku...

Sleeping Beauty Behind the Door That Won't Open

It is a memory of a beautiful love.
