Original subtitles

It was then that the weeping girl turned around and said this...

What you saw...

Did it look like this?

Just kidding!

Huh?

I-I'm scared! I'm scared!

What's the deal? Mizuho-chan and Kana-chan, you're not scared?

I've been listening to that story since we were kids.

I thought it was fun! I was so enthralled!

I don't want to hear that.

Geez, how bo-ring!

Stories need to pack a punch.

Aren't there any more realistic ghost stories?

Real?

Ah, come to think of it...

Come to think of it?

You haven't heard about the tales of this dorm?

Tales? Yes.

According to one I heard, there is a ghost in this dorm.

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...

Sleeping Beauty Behind the Door That Won't Open

Ghost?

A ghost?

It does seem like there would be ghosts here.

Yes, I don't know the details, but...

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

If you look at yourself in the mirror at 2 AM...

...you'll see things other than yourself.

These stories have been passed down from generation to generation.

Oh, I get it.

I-I'm scared!

It's okay, Yukari-chan.

Stories like that are just made up and have no basis in reality.

I'm not so sure.

There can be no smoke without a fire.

Hearing things that have no sound, seeing things that can't be seen...

It could be the workings of an evil spirit living in the dorm.

Stop it already.

Speaking of strange things...

Why is your room the only one on the north side?

Huh?

All of our rooms are lined up on the south side.

But your room is on the far edge on the north side.

You finally clued in.

Mariya.

Now that you've realized, there is no choice.

The truth is...

The truth is?

The truth is...

The truth is?

It's about a will. A will.

Huh, a will?

Yup. Mizuho-chan was always supposed to live in that room.

It also said that you were to use the furniture provided.

Why?

I don't know.

There's some secret behind this. This is a mystery!

You're getting into this.

Yes! Kana will look into this. Maybe we'll find something out.

A will, huh?

I was thinking that the furniture was pretty vintage.

I hope it's not haunted.

It's me, just me.

M-Mariya, you scared me!

You didn't get scared by that story, did you?

No, not at all.

Don't worry. You've already been here a month.

Have you seen any ghosts?

N-No...

If you're still scared, come to my room.

I'll hold your trembling body and lull you to sleep.

Don't treat me like a child.

Well, I'll be in my room.

Unbelievable, getting kicks out of trying to scare people...

If I was as carefree as her, I'd have fewer worries in life.

Mariya?

I must have imagined it.

But I can't stop thinking about it.

Why did Grandfather choose this room?

Ghosts...

Oneesama! Oneesama!

O-0Oh, Takao-san...

Is everything okay? If you feel unwell, you shouldn't push yourself.

No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.

I see. If that is what oneesama says...

U-Um, Takako-san?

Yes?

Can you please not call me oneesama?

To be honest, I'm still not used to it.

You'll have to get used to it faster.

Now that you are the Elder, you are the oneesama.

You are our representative. You must be stronger.

I'm sorry.

So what have you been thinking about?

There's something on my mind.

Um, Takako-san, do you...

Do you believe in ghosts?

G-Ghosts? T-There's n-no such thing.

I can't believe you're saying such things! How idiotic!

All rise!

Bow!

I-1 have to go to my next class. H-Have a nice day, oneesama.

Uh, Takako-san.

Ouch.

Everyone has their weaknesses.

And Takako-san is so serious it's all the more...

But even so...

Um, oneesama, are you awake?

Yukari-chan?

Uh, can I have a moment?

Yeah, of course.

What is it?

Um... er... uh...

Uh, oneesama...

Will you sleep with me?

What? As in the same bed?

Is that a no?

Not really, but what's the matter?

I'm afraid to sleep alone because of the ghost stories.

Ah, I see.

Um, but can't you ask Mariya?

No! If I did, she'd tell me scary stories all night.

I can see that.

But this room...

It's okay!

If you're next to me, I won't be scared.

Yukari-chan?

Okay. How can I refuse that face?

Really? Thank you so much, oneesamal

It's fine. Come in.

Is it really okay letting her sleep here?

What if she finds out I'm a guy?

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

Um, oneesama?

Why do you have your back to me?

Because if we were looking at each other, it'd be hard to fall asleep.

Not at all. I'll feel safer if I can see your face.

O-Oh, is that so...

I-Is this better?

Yes.

You're so spoiled.

I'm sorry.

Not scared anymore?

Nope, I feel so safe like this.

Good, I'm glad.

Oneesama, you smell so good.

It's...

So...

Yukari-chan?

Good night, Yukari-chan.

Good morning! It's morning!

Mizuho-chan, are you up? I'm going to come in.

Good morning, Mariya.

Mizuho-chan, what are you doing!

What do you mean?

Oneesama...

More...

T-This, uh...

It's not... Mariya...

Calm down, calm down...

Oneesama...

Mizuho-chan...

You idiot!

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

That was horrible.

It's not my fault.

By the way, you didn't do anything to Yukari-chan, did you?

I didn't! I already explained the circumstances!

Yes, but this is different!

Ah, so this is where you were.

Kana-chan, what's wrong? Kana-chan, what's wrong?

[-It's terrible!

The room that doesn't open?

Yes. My friends in the drama club told me.

That's what your room used to be called.

That's disturbing.

But why?

It was 22 years ago in the summer.

It is a story of great sadness and love.

Back then, it was the Elder who lived in your room.

There was a lowerclassman who was her "little sister."

But the little sister was sickly since birth, and she had to be hospitalized.

One day she got a letter announcing her oneesama's graduation...

...and engagement to be married.

She wanted to see her one last time, so she slipped out of the hospital.

In her weakened state...

How admirable...

But...

Unfortunately, her oneesama had gone home.

It was summer, and the dorm was empty.

She waited alone in her oneesama's room for her return.

For days and days...

However, it was too much for her already-weakened body...

...and she drifted, as if into a sleep...

Upon finding out about this, the Elder was struck by grief.

I-I see.

Yes. I know what it feels like to want to see someone you love.

But she didn't get to see her.

How sad.

Since then, it's been the room that doesn't open.

And that's where I live now?

This isn't fun anymore.

What should we do?

What should we do? I don't know...

She died with her dreams unfulfilled.

What was she thinking while she waited?

And why did Grandfather want me to live here?

Oneesama, it's Kana. May I come in?

Yes, come in.

I brought you some tea.

Thank you, I was just thinking of getting some.

That's perfect. Please wait one moment.

By the way, what we talked about at lunch...

Huh?

There's a little more to the story.

Actually...

Kana-chan...

Yes?

I'm sorry, but I think it would be best if I didn't hear any more of that story.

Huh, but why is that?

Nothing really happened here.

And I don't think that a girl that fragile would cause any trouble.

I see.

You're a romantic. I love that about you.

What!

A-A poltergeist?

Yes, this happened once before.

Afterwards, when they tried to take the furniture out of here...

...It was like something was trying to stop it.

Kana-chan!

Ouch!

It stopped.

Mizuho-oneesama...

There's supposed to be a charm in the closet...

...that a priest used to seal the ghost in.

A charm? Is that part of what you tried to tell me?

Yes. It might be weakening.

I'll go check it out.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Did you find it?

The charm...

It's torn...

Th-That's bad.

What is it?

I-l don't know.

Oneesama...

Oneesama!

Oneesama!

Oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesama!

Wait a minute.

I can't wait. I'm not the kind of person who could wait even if I was told to.

And if I may say so, I feel that I've been waiting a really long time...

...even though I just fell asleep for a bit. So in conclusion, I cannot wait.

So please, oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesamal!

"Oneesama"? Please calm down.

How can I calm down!

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for you to come back.

I mean, maybe I slept a little, but...

...that doesn't lessen my intentions one iota, I swear...

...S0 please don't be so cold, oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesama!

Calm down!

Yes.

I-It stopped.

So what is your name?

Right.

Ichiko.

Ichiko Takashima.

Ichiko-chan, huh?

The same name as the girl who died here 22 years ago.

I see.

What? Why are you looking at me like I'm a ghost?

Um, Ichiko-chan, perhaps you haven't realized, so I'll point it out...

You're dead.

Dead?

Shoot, should I have been gentler?

B-But...

Uh, Ichiko-chan...

But that's not possible.

Huh?

Please, not even a comedian would use that.

Oneesama, you are so silly.

I laughed so much that now I'm thirsty. I think I'll have some tea.

Oh no.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Why can't I grab it?

Well, Ichiko-chan, that's because...

Look at your feet.

Huh? My feet?

I have feet.

I'm floating!

Wh-What's wrong with me?

I know! I'm so glad to see you that I'm floating!

This is what it means to be walking on air!

How great!

No! You're floating because you're a ghost!

Am I a living ghost?

No! You're dead!

Who is?

You, Ichiko-chan.

Oh, I must still be dreaming. I get it!

No, you don't!

Then I'm really dead.

You finally got it.

I only meant to sleep a little, but I slept for 22 years. I'm such a screwup.

I-l don't think that's the case.

So then you're not my oneesama?

I'm sorry, but no.

But still...

You look so much like my oneesama.

Mizuho-oneesama is our Elder. She's very elegant and wonderful and...

I see. I can see why you were chosen to be Elder.

And I can see why you're just like my oneesama.

She gets it.

And with that...

Kana's going to excuse herself right now.

Good night, oneesama.

Yes, it's late. Are you okay by yourself?

Yes.

I will see you tomorrow.

Good night.

What am I supposed to do?

Um, is this really okay?

Yes. You're here, so what can I do?

I can't ignore you.

But I'm a ghost, so it could cause disruptions...

Or I could possess you, or haunt you, or even Kill you...

Or there could be a host of unknown surprises.

You're right. But you seem like a good girl, so I trust you.

Let's think about the future tomorrow.

Oneesama! Thank you!

H-Hey, Ichiko-chan.

Oneesama, you're so warm.

I'm able to touch your body.

It was always my dream to do this.

Ichiko-chan...

I wonder what Ichiko-chan's oneesama was like.

But for now...

Good night, Ichiko-chan.

Good morning! It's morning!

Mizuho-chan, are you awake?

I'm coming in!

Good morning, Mariya.

Who in the hell is that girl!

What girl?

Oneesama...

Mizuho-chan...

You idiot!

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 Hey! I'm now one of the group!

I'm Ichiko. Ichiko. Ichiko Takashima!

After waking from a 22-year sleep, this time I'll become oneesama's bride.

A red ribbon of fate binds us together, oneesamal

Mizuho-chan's bride? Is this okay? Is this not okay?

It is what it is and will be what it will be.

Next time on OtoBoku...

The bells are a send-off to eternal happiness.
