Original subtitles

Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm Ichiko Takashima.

Nice to meet you.

O-Oh, I'm Mariya Mikado.

Nice to meet you, little ghost.

That was easy.

She's floating, how can I refute that?

That's true, but what should we do?

She doesn't seem like she'll do anything bad.

I think you're going to have to let her stay awhile.

Thank you so much!

Good for you!

You're all so understanding! I'm so moved!

Good morn...

Good morning.

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...

The Midnight Chapel

Are you okay, Yukari?

I think we can deal with Yukari later.

So that leaves us with one immediate problem.

One immediate problem?

I think Ichiko-chan should know.

Mizuho-chan is really...

...a boy!

H-Hey! Mariya!

Huh?

I can understand that reaction.

So anyway...

So, Ichiko-chan, do you understand now?

Wh-What the hell! What are you doing!

Ichiko-chan is going to be with you for a while.

Did you think she'd never find out?

There are different ways you could break the news.

This was the most direct.

It may have been a bit of a shock for Ichiko-chan.

Wow...

Wow! Wow! Wow! Oneesama!

So that means! So that means! So that means!

So oneesama is a girl, but really she's a boy!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

So that means that oneesama is really a boy, which means...

...you can have a wife, isn't that right, isn't it?

A wife?

Yes, a wife!

Please, make me your wife!

Oneesama!

Oneesama! Oneesama! Oneesama!

Mizuho-chan's got his hands full.

But my goodness...

It was my dream to become oneesama's wife.

She would always smile and say to me...

"If only I were a man, I could make you my wife."

If she were a man...

So when I found out that...

...she was getting married right after graduation, I was shocked.

If only she had really been a man.

I resented the fact that we were both born girls.

I see.

So in that sense, there's no better oneesama than Mizuho-chan.

Hey! Mariya!

I think it's great! Maybe this is your chance to have a wife.

Right?

Yes!

I don't think that's the issue.

What am I supposed to do?

Is something the matter?

Mizuho-san, is something on your mind?

Shion-san...

Can you tell?

Yes, you look as though you've been possessed.

No pun intended.

Mizuho-san...

Kei-san!

You're doing good work.

Huh?

What does that mean?

Well, Kei-san says strange things sometimes.

I'm not sure either.

Don't worry, Mizuho-san.

Since it came from her, I'm sure you've done something good.

She's not one to give compliments.

But what did I do?

If it's bothering you, perhaps you should ask Kei-san.

I'll pass.

Why! Why can't I get out!

I'm going to keep trying! I will not be defeated!

It's no good!

I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go to school with oneesamal

This seems to work.

I'm out!

Oneesama...

I want... I want... I want to see her.

But for some reason, I can't leave. I'm a caged bird... I mean ghost.

I guess I have to endure this heart-wrenching pain...

...and wait in our room for oneesama to return.

But I can't sit still.

Huh?

I'm coming in.

Um, are you okay?

Are you awake? Oh, good!

It's floating! Floating! Floating!

Yes, I'm floating, but don't let it bother you.

I know. I'll change your ice.

But I can't seem to grab it. Please don't be so scared.

Sorry, I'm not trying to scare you. Please don't be so scared.

I'm scared! I'm scared! I'm scared! Um... er... I...

What should...

What should I...

It's floating! Oneesama, help me!

But I didn't do anything bad!

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I'm a ghost!

We're home!

I wonder how Yukari-chan and Ichiko-chan are doing.

What's this?

Something smells good.

Go!

Wow! You're so good! You're great, Yukari-chan.

Really?

Huh? What are you guys doing?

Welcome home.

Yukari-chan is making dinner.

Yukari-chan is a great cook. I'm so excited.

Uh, but Yukari, you're okay now?

I was shocked at first, but we started talking...

...and I realized that Ichiko-chan is a really nice person.

I love hamburgers too, so we really connected.

I'm sorry I'm such a scaredy-cat.

No, I'm sorry I'm a ghost.

Kana will help too!

Please eat!

This is a lot.

Is it good, oneesama?

Yes.

It's a shame you can't eat.

See you later, Ichiko-chan.

Come home soon, oneesama!

I wish I could take care of oneesama too.

I can't let you.

Did this actress get married? That pop idol is so grown up!

It's been 22 years.

Oneesama, I will scrub your back!

Ichiko-chan!

It's my turn.

I'll spin it for you.

It's ten.

Let's see. You were playing in the sandbox, and...

...you hit oil and win $1 million!

Yay!

What's that about!

Ichiko-chan's gotten settled in.

I can hardly believe Yukari was scared at first.

Ichiko-chan is so energetic and lively that she's not ghostlike at all!

Ghosts are usually dark and have unfinished business in this world.

The dorm is livelier now that Ichiko-chan is here.

Unfinished business, huh?

She loved her oneesama so much that...

...she'd give her life to see her one last time.

I'm home.

Welcome home, oneesama!

Ichiko-chan.

Yes, what is it, oneesama?

I want to talk to you for a moment.

About my oneesama?

Yes, I was wondering what she was like.

Hmm, well...

She was really, really nice. And she was very unusual.

Unusual?

Yes, it was one morning when I was about to be late to school...

I was running full speed to school with a piece of toast in my mouth.

It was very unsightly.

And I wasn't watching where I was going.

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry.

That's what happened...

Don't worry. The world won't come to an end just because you're late.

She said to me sweetly...

Then she extended her hand to wipe the butter off of my nose with a tissue.

In that moment, I realized that...

...girls can smile so kindly and gently.

Really? She does seem unusual.

Yes! And since then, my affections were all focused on oneesama.

She was always warm like the sunshine.

She was right there, yet it seemed like she was part of a dream.

When I was sad or when she was praising me...

...she'd caress my head like this in the shade of the terrace.

And then...

I'm too embarrassed to go on!

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

OtoBoku Maidens Are Falling for Me

I thought I'd figure it out if I looked through the yearbooks.

But there are no clues.

Oh, is that you, oneesama?

How unusual to run into you in a place like this.

Are you looking something up?

Yes, I am.

Excuse me, Takako-san, can you tell me...

Are there any materials here that could tell me about the past?

Like about the history of this school or about past Elders...

Elders...

Oh, I get it!

You want to learn about how to be an Elder from...

...the history of the school and the Elders of the past!

I am so happy that you finally see my point of view!

Yes, well...

I have the perfect thing.

Kimie-san...

Um, yes!

The Elder system has complete autonomy, so...

...the student council handles all of the material on the Elders.

We have so much information that we just moved a portion of it here.

Thank you, Takako-san.

Of course.

What are you researching?

Well, a ghost.

Ghosts? I told you that there are no such things! Why do you...

President, please, be calm.

I am calm!

Kimie-san, let's go!

G-Good day, oneesama.

Wait for me, President!

Did I do something bad?

This is...

Mother!

Mother!

Mother...

Mother...

I am going to the school where you went.

You walked down this road.

And the room that you lived in...

That's why Grandfather chose this room for me.

Ichiko-chan...

Oneesama...

I'm so glad!

I was... I was so scared.

Scared?

Of what?

I just meant to sleep for a little while.

But I didn't realize you'd come back.

What if I fell asleep for decades again, and you disappeared?

I was scared...

I was scared...

Ichiko-chan...

You wouldn't go away even if I fell asleep, right?

We'll be together forever...

...and someday you will make me your wife, right?

For 22 years, Ichiko pined for my mother...

Alone...

All alone...

Ichiko-chan, there's someplace I want to take you tonight.

What are you two doing at this hour?

Mariya-san, we're going for an evening stroll.

A stroll? But Ichiko-chan, you can't go outside.

Mariya, we'll be right back.

See ya.

See you later, Mariya-san.

The stars are so pretty.

But it's so strange that I can be outside just by touching you.

Oneesama, why all of a sudden?

I think I should do what your oneesama couldn't.

Oneesama...

I wish I was your real oneesama, but...

Sorry.

Not at all, oneesamal

Mizuho-oneesama, you have the same sweet smell as my oneesama.

I'm a bit embarrassed.

Yeah?

It was my dream.

To seal my oath with a kiss and to be...

To be oneesama's bride...

Ichiko-chan...

It feels so good.

My oneesama used to hold me like this.

Really?

My mother used to do this also.

This is my childhood memory of my mother.

And your memory of your oneesama...

Then...

Mizuho-oneesama, so you're Sachiho-oneesama's...

I feel so happy.

I'm so glad you are happy.

I am very happy.

I feel like I really got married as a ghost.

Ichiko-chan...

Yes?

Sachiho-oneesama...

Ichiko-chan?

Oneesama, I feel like they have come for me.

Come for you?

Yes. My heart feels light.

I think it's because my dream came true.

Ichiko-chan...

Please...

Please see me off just like that, oneesama...

I am filled with gratitude towards you and towards Sachiho-oneesama.

Thank you for keeping the memory of my mother alive for 22 years.

Thank you and the others for being so kind.

You've given me new memories of my mother.

Oneesama, thank you so much.

No, Ichiko-chan...

...thank you!

Goodbye... Good-bye, oneesama.

Goodbye, Ichiko-chan.

Thank you, Ichiko-chan.

Mariya.

Ichiko-chan left, right?

Yeah.

Don't get down. I think you did a good thing.

As Ichiko-chan's oneesama...

Oneesama, huh?

Well, let's go home!

How are we going to explain this to Yukari and Kana-chan?

Yeah...

We're home.

Welcome home, oneesama!

I-lchiko-chan?

Yes! I'm your Ichiko Takashima!

How?

Oh, oneesama is home.

Where did you go at this hour?

Ah, I was at the chapel...

But why are you here?

Yes, well I just found myself back here.

Well, Mizuho-chan...

Oneesama, I will be in your debt for a while longer.

I hope that will be okay!

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 Maidens Are Falling for Me

The time has finally come! We were fated to battle one another!

Isn't that right, Takako!

That is correct!

I will avenge myself for sure today, Mariya!

That's my line!

I'm going to beat you to a pulp!

I'm going to get you! I'm going to get you!

What's about to happen here?

Next time on OtoBoku...

Capprezio on a Summer Day.

A maiden's bullheadedness.
