Original subtitles

Miss Alice.

The weather is rather refreshing in this season, isn’t it?

Yes.

In the northern countries, summer was short,

and there were places where ice never melts.

How have you been doing at school lately?

Oh, well, I’m still a little nervous with the first person I talked to, but…

Compared to before, I’ve made lots of friends.

Is that so? Nothing could make me happier.

Aisia, that clock you created with magic, why didn’t it ring?!

No, you’re wrong! It *DID* ring once, but you stopped it!

Damn. These days, I have no choice but rely on Nemu.

Translation by Shinsen-Subs

During countless nights,

ikusen no yoru ni

幾千の夜に

each time I would think about you,

anata wo omoeba

あなたを想えば

I’d feel sad the road our loves tread on

kono koi no yukue

この恋の行方

would only miss each other

surechigai setsunai

すれ違い切ない

As I raise my eyes to the window,

furiyamanai ame

降り止まない雨

and see the unstopping rain,

mado kara miagete

窓から見上げて

the tears overflow in my heart as well.

watashi no kokoro ni mo namida afureta

私の心にも涙あふれた

But in the gaps between the clouds dancing in the sky

sora wo nagareru kumo no sukima ni

空を流れる雲の隙間に

light gently shines on me, as if the sky were smiling at me

hikari sashite sotto hohoemu you ni

光差して、そっと微笑むように

On that tree-lined pathway we both walked down

futari de aruita namikimichi

二人で歩いた並木道

in the cherry-blossom-colored season,

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

feelings of joy and merriness came together.

hashaida fuzakeatta omoi kasaneta

はしゃいだ、ふざけ合った 想い重ねた

The rain has now stopped falling on that tree-lined pathway

ameagari aruku namikimichi

雨上がり歩く並木道

and the season is colored by cherry blossoms.

sakura iro no kisetsu no naka de

サクライロノキセツの中で

We now walk and climb the stairs

kaidan nobotteku

階段上ってく

believing in our goal, our love…

ai no GOAL wo shinjiteyuku

愛のゴールを 信じてゆく

Hatsunejima’s Double Star

I’m really sorry for the trouble.

I don’t mind at all. You are all going the same way, after all.

Thank you, Alice.

Oh, no, you’re welcome.

But you must be the daughter of a very wealthy family,

to commute to school with such a great car.

Oh, you didn’t know?

Of course not! We’re not in the same year,

and we don’t have much of a chance to talk, right?

Oh. Yes, you’re right.

Well, even if she’s your senior, don’t be afraid to talk to her.

How about you hang out with her for a change?

Yes.

By the way, Miss Aisia.

Yes!

Forgive my rudeness, but where did you come from?

Me?

Oh, come to think of it, Alice also comes from northern Europe.

Then…

We come from the same place?

Wow! Incredible, incredible!

I’m also quite surprised.

I felt that somehow there was a similar atmosphere about the two of you,

so I just thought…

Say, say. Can I come over to your place?

Well, if you agree, Aisia-san.

Yay!

Oh, but I don’t like you calling me “Aisia-san”.

Please call me “Aisia”!

Then,

Aisia.

Yes!

Hmm, I have a feeling you will be making more and more friends, Miss.

Mizukoshi Hospital

Mizukoshi Hospital

Hey there. Don’t run in the hallway.

You’re going to bother the other people.

If you want to play around, go there.

Play Room

Play Room

Play Room

Yes.

Hey!

Really, these kids.

Oh?

Mizukoshi-senpai.

Hello, Nemu-chan.

You came to help us out again.

You’re really a life-saver.

Just because you’re Mako-chan’s friend,

I’m really sorry.

No, it’s all right. I can learn quite a lot, thanks to this.

Mr. Akishima also said, “It’s a good chance, do your best and go for it!”

But,

a paediatrician must have a lot of patients, so it must be rough on you.

It’s okay. I love children.

Oh? What is she doing?

Oh, she’s Madoka Hino, if I’m not mistaken.

She’s always like that.

Always?

Madoka-chan?

Why don’t you play inside, Madoka-chan?

Your friends are waiting for you.

Because…

Are you okay?

Yes.

Nii-san, there…

It feels so good.

I can’t hold it in anymore.

Is it okay like that?

Yeah. I’ve been standing all day, so my hips ache.

Then, how about that?

Ah, so good!

Still, there sure is a lot of children.

Yeah. Somehow, I’m wondering about that child.

But if you’re so tired, then you might not be able to go out and eat cake.

I’ll go! I want to! When you’re tired, sweets are the best thing for the body.

So, where will you take me? Monsieur de Paris? Joie de Ponnelle?

Patisserie Lune Chateau!

Lune Chateau?

Moon and Castle, Tsukishiro!

Alice said that if we came by her place, Sema-san would bake a cake for us.

And it seems like it will be good, as it’ll be made by a real patissier!

You’ll come along too, Nemu?

Well, after I’m done helping at the hospital, I guess it’ll be okay.

Then, things are settled.

We’ll come with Alice and Aisia to pick you up when you’re done.

Sure, got it.

I can’t wait for tomorrow!

Wha, there are so many people.

It sure looks hard to handle.

Guys! Sorry to have made you wait.

So, let’s go!

Oh, nice job. Hey, are YOU going too?

Don’t “hey” me! I also want to eat some cake!

The more, the merrier. Don’t hold back!

Don’t YOU say that.

I don’t like that!

My, my… Even if you say that, this is the hospital’s meal.

I don’t wanna eat that!

Onee-chan!

What’s wrong?

Madoka-chan, if you don’t eat your meal, you won’t get any better.

Because, even if I eat like I’m told, Papa and Mama won’t…

There.

Thanks.

Eat your meal properly, next time, right?

But–

DON’T! Give it back!

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry.

I don’t want it anymore!

I see… So she’s the one Nemu was talking about…

It’s been six months since she’s been hospitalized in our hospital, but…

It seems her parents are working abroad, so…

They didn’t come to visit her even once.

Whoa, it feels nostalgic here.

She’s only five.

It must really be hard when your parents aren’t here.

That fireplace, it looks just like the one we had at home!

If she made some good friends there,

she wouldn’t feel so lonely, I guess.

Yeah, that’s true.

That poster, perhaps Madoka likes the circus?

Well, she had it ever since she came in…

Perhaps it’s something special to her…

What’s up, all of a sudden?

Alice, that’s a circus, right?

And the girl in the picture, that’s you, right?

Yes.

So you were performing in a circus!

Well, yes.

I just got a good idea!

A good idea?

I and Alice will perform a circus show for Madoka-chan!

Huh?

If she sees the circus she likes so much, perhaps she’ll finally get more lively!

But, that is…

Yeah, Aisia! That picture is quite old, now.

And Alice can’t do something like–

It’s all right! If we train, we’ll be able to do it in no time!

After all, Alice looked so happy on this picture!

I’ll do my best too, so let’s do it together!

Right, Alice?

Then, here I go!

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Of course, I won’t be able to do it right from the start.

Let’s start with this! There!

Nooo!

With this, there!

It’s really difficult…

Aisia…

Why do you put in so much effort?

Because, I feel sad for Madoka-chan, since she’s all alone.

Both of my parents died while I was young.

I guess that’s why I can understand how Madoka-chan feels.

So, I want to make her a little more happy.

Okay, let’s get to work!

I’ll do everything to make her smile!

It’s really difficult.

Aisia.

You always throw them with both your hands.

In-incredible!

You’re really incredible, Alice!

Madoka-chan’ll be happy too, I’m sure of it!

Can you teach me too?

Y-Yes.

Alice, here I go!

Okay!

[ Hatsunejima Circus ]

There!

Next Sunday, there will be a circus in the hospital.

There.

Come and see it too, Madoka-chan.

We’ve got to go see it!

Hatsunejima Circus

Hatsunejima Circus

Now, the Hatsunejima circus is starting!

There!

There!

Heave-ho!

Let’s do it, Aisia!

Yeah!

Alice!

Look, look!

Now, now, don’t move around that much.

Look, Mom!

So, how is it, Madoka?

It’s incredible, Papa! The clowns, the trapezists and the elephants too!

Here, to commemorate this day.

You’re so lucky, Madoka. Take good care of it.

Yeah! I will!

Looks like a huge success.

Mako.

Is Madoka-chan enjoying the show too?

Yeah, she–

Huh?

What?

Madoka-chan’s not here!

What?

Papa. Mama.

Alice and Aisia, you check the shore!

Yes!

Nemu and Mako, you go by the park with the cherry trees!

Okay!

I’ll go check the shopping district!

Hey! Madoka-chan!

Madoka-chan!

Alice! Did you see her?

No, where could she be?

Help me!

Help me!

Madoka-chan!

If it’s just that much distance, I can do it.

Huh? What are you going to do?

I’ll need a rope afterwards.

A rope?

If things go on like that, Madoka-chan will…

Please… Come, rope!

A ribbon.

That will do!

Madoka-chan, are you all right?

Onee-chan!

Alice! If you pull too hard on it, it won’t hold!

Madoka-chan, trust me.

Alice!

Safe, by a hair’s breadth.

Jun’ichi!

Senpai.

Heave-ho!

That was really close…

Onee-chan, thank you!

It’s a good thing you’re safe.

That’s…

Nii-san!

Madoka-chan!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Really, Madoka-chan.

Why did you go out on your own?

Because, when I saw the circus,

I remembered about Papa and Mama.

And I wanted to see them.

So…

Sorry, just because we did a circus…

No, it was scary, but it was really, really enjoyable!

I even did tightrope walking!

Your circus is the best!

Thank you, onee-chan!

And so, the circus I saw…

Looks like those two are getting along really well.

Madoka-chan looks more lively too!

It was worth the effort.

It was also the first time your magic was actually useful.

Oh? You knew?

Well, of course I would.

Thanks to that, two people became happy.

Isn’t this a happy ending?

Happy?

Yes!

Next time, I’ll make you happy, Jun’ichi!

What’s your wish?

Stupid. Don’t get cocky.

The gentle sun feels like a bubble floating and falling

yawaraka na hi ga toki ni maichiru utakata no you

柔らかな陽が 時に舞い散る 泡沫のよう

You were there in the future that bloomed that day in my heart

boku no kokoro ni ano hi saita mirai kimi ga iru

僕の心に あの日咲いた未来 君がいる…。

The day we passed by each other, we sang out our combined feelings

surechigau tabi ni hi kasaneta omoi wo

すれ違うたびに 重ねた想いを

to the sky, in this poem dedicated to the dawn

sora ni kanadeyou akatsuki no kono uta wo

空に奏でよう 暁のこの詩を

Ah, this path goes on forever,

aa owarinaki kono michi wo

終わりなき この道を

and we will never doubt it or stray from it

mayoinagara mo tokineru koto wa nai

迷いながらも 途切れる事のない

We’ll embrace that love

ai wo dakishimete

愛を 抱きしめて

The cherry blossoms are falling gently, carried by the wind…

sakura kaze kara koborete shizuku

桜風からこぼれた雫

and I want to watch them forever… together with you.

nee zutto issho ni mitsumeteitai

ねぇずっと一緒に 見つめていたい

Aisia’s summer

Thanks to Aisia, I have more friends.

I can even get along with her.

It’s the first time Aisia is witnessing the japanese summer, right?

The lantern festival dance, the fireworks, going to the sea or to the mountain.

Breaking watermelons and…

What games do you play during the summer holidays?

It’s okay. I’ll explain if you don’t know something.

Huh? Training? What kind?
