## Transcripts

[Principal's Office]

(Bestisia slams the Principal's desk)

**Bestisia** : Why?! How could this happen?!

**Tadatsune** : .......When the Nurse came to check on her room, she found out that she's been dead for several minutes. We were contacted by the hospital yesterday evening.

**Fuyu** : ......Did they let you see the body?

**Tadatsune** : We did. And.......It was her.

**Fuyu** : Did you see her face?

**Tadatsune** : There's no doubt.

**Bestisia** : ..........

**Bestisia** : Curses!! Why did this has to happen to a girl like her?

**Fuyu** : .........

[Courtyard, Morning]

(The rain gets heavier....)

(Yuna runs to the Courtyard from Tamami and Ayaka)

**Ayaka** : Yuna, wait!

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan!!

**Yuna** : ...........

**Tamami** : Where is she going?! She just suddenly runs away!

**Ayaka** : This is the way to the courtyard! What is she trying to do?!

(Tamami trips and falls)

**Ayaka** : Tamami!

**Tamami** : Go! Get Yuna-chan for me!

**Ayaka** : Alright!

(Yuna opens the door and runs outside)

**Ayaka** : Yuna, wait!

(Ayaka stops at the door)

**Ayaka** : (The rain is getting heavier by the second......)

(Yuna keeps walking, despite her soaking wet from the torrential rain)

**Yuna** : ...........

**Yuna** : (Masaki.......Masaki......Masaki's......)

(Flashback starts)

**Masaki** : Hello, Yuna! Ready for another practice!?

**Masaki** : Yuna, here's the sticker you wanted yesterday!

**Masaki** : As long as all five of us are together, our bonds will never be severed!

**Masaki** : Everyone is so cute, aren't they?

**Masaki** : YUNA! WATCH OUT!!!!!!

(Flashback ends)

**Yuna** : ..............

**Yuna** : ..........Uh

(Yuna kneels to the ground)

**Yuna** : (My legs.......aren't moving......)

**Yuna** : (But.......that doesn't matter anymore.......)

**Yuna** : (Night Fall split apart.........we went our separate ways......)

**Yuna** : (Yagane disappeared.......I couldn't protect Hitomi and Kagura.......)

**Yuna** : (And.......Masaki........)

**Yuna** : (Masaki........)

**Yuna** : (She's dead........)

**Yuna** : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Yuna screams even louder by the second, while tears and rainwater drops from her cheeks)

**Yuna** : (WHY....?)

**Yuna** : (It's all my fault, isn't it?)

**Yuna** : (I wasn't there when they needed me........I ran away when Masaki protected me........)

(Ayaka comes out from the door with an umbrella)

**Ayaka** : (I knew it! One umbrella can't hold against this wind and rain!)

**Ayaka** : Yuna! Come back! Can you hear me!?

(Yuna continues crying despite Ayaka's shout)

**Ayaka** : Yuna! If you keep this up, your voice will-

(Ayaka gets blown away several steps back)

**Ayaka** : (I-I can't get near her!)

(A hand pushes Ayaka forward, then grabs her umbrella)

**Tamami** : We can do this, Ayaka-chan!

**Ayaka** : Tamami!

(Two more hands assists Ayaka and Tamami)

**Bestisia** : Très bien, you two! But don't you forget about us!

**Fuyu** : We'll help you.....until we can reach her!

**Tamami** : Everyone......

**Tamami** : Thank you!

**Bestisia** : Ready....? One........Two......

**Everyone** : CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!

(The charge fails, and the four girls are thrown way back)

**Bestisia** : It's impossible! We can't reach her like this!

**King** : Don't give up, my fabulous maidens!

**Fuyu** : ...!

(King appears, along with Tristan and Palamedes)

**Fuyu** : Rosenkreuz!

**King** : Precisely, and it's time for the Fabulous King Rosenkreuz to lend you a hand! Tristan, Palamedes, if you will!

**Tristan & Palamedes** : Yes, Your Majesty!!

(Tristan & Palamedes gives all four of them more durable umbrellas)

**Bestisia** : Whoa! This umbrella is strong!

**Fuyu** : .......Thank you.

**King** : I am honored! Now, let us save our damsel in distress, shall we?

**King** : Then, everyone!

(King leads the formation)

**King** : ......Hold the Fabulous Formation!

**Bestisia** : The WHAT formation?

**Ayaka** : AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(The whole group gathers around and tries to brave through the incredibly strong wind)

**Tristan** : Y-Your Majesty! This wind is nothing like we've ever faced before!!

**King** : D-Don't worry! I've requested reinforcements from one of the butlers! They'll be here soon!

**Palamedes** : R-Really? T-That's good news, Your Majesty!!

**Fuyu** : (Yuna......)

**Tamami** : Y-Yuna-chan!!!!!!

**Yuna** : (.........Tamami.....)

**Yuna** : (Forgive me........I......)

**Yuna** : (You're always by my side......no matter what happened.......and yet, I.......)

**Yuna** : (I'm such a fool........)

**Yuna** : .............

(Yuna stops crying and she faints due to exhaustion)

**Bestisia** : I can't hear Sakaki-san's voice!

**Tamami** : What?! We have to go now!

**King** : A miracle! We have to wish for a miracle, somehow!

**Tristan & Palamedes** : Let there be miracle! Let there be miracle!

**Bestisia** : L-Let there be miracle!

**Ayaka & Tamami** : Let there be miracle!!

**Fuyu** : .....

(The wind and the rain suddenly stops)

**Bestisia** : .....Huh?

(All of them lowered their umbrellas, and they see a bright sun appearing from the clouds)

**King** : A......a miracle actually happened!

(Everyone sees Yuna lying on the floor)

**Fuyu** : Y-Yuna!!

**Bestisia** : Sakaki-san!

(The four girls runs to Yuna's side)

**Tristan** : B-But how?

**???** : Isn't it obvious?

**Palamedes** : That voice....!

(Tristan & Palamedes turn to see a blonde butler in horseback)

**Tristan & Palamedes** : Sir......!

**Tristan & Palamedes** : Sir Gawain!!

**Sir Gawain** : I'm sorry I'm late.

**King** : No.....Gawain.

**King** : You made it in time. As expected of House Rosenkreuz's "Sunny Butler".

(Yuna opens her eyes slowly)

**Yuna** : Tamami......Everyone.....

**Tamami** : ............Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

(Tamami hugs Yuna)

**Tamami** : You big dummy! What do you think you're doing??!! You could have died from that storm!!!

**Yuna** : Tamami.....I....

(Tamami pushes Yuna's cheeks)

**Tamami** : STOP!!! JUST STOP!!! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!

**Yuna** : .......But.....

**Tamami** : Stop it with your "but"!! I'm so angry right now!!!

**Yuna** : ........

(Tamami's face turns into Masaki's for a quick second)

**Yuna** : .....!

**Tamami (As Masaki in Yuna's eyes)** : I forbid you to die! You must live on!! If you still want to die, then-

**Yuna** : ........

(Masaki's face disappears)

**Tamami** : .......Yuna-chan?

**Yuna** : .........Tamami.....Thank you.

**Tamami** : So....you.....

**Yuna** : I just realized something. If all I do is cry, then I guess Masaki won't be at peace there either....

**Fuyu** : Seriously.....

**Bestisia** : Ahahaha......Ah....Ah....ACHOOOOOO!!!!

**Ayaka** : Bestisia, you're-Ah....Ah....ACHOOOO!!!

**Tamami** : No way, you two-ACHOOOOO!!!!!

**Yuna** : You all......Ah....Ah.....ACHOOOO!!!!

**Bestisia** : .......

**Ayaka** : .....Ahaha....

**Bestisia, Ayaka & Tamami** : Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!

**Fuyu** : ........

(Fuyu walks to Yuna)

**Yuna** : Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : Do you see it now?

**Yuna** : .........Not yet.

**Fuyu** : .....Oh?

**Yuna** : But.......deep in my heart......

(Yuna puts her hand in her chest)

**Yuna** : I know I would. But......

**Yuna** : I don't know......

(Yuna offers her hand to Fuyu)

**Yuna** : Please......help me discover the truth!

**Fuyu** : ........

**Bestisia** : ......Hm!

(Bestisia walks over to Fuyu and Yuna and places her hand face-down)

**Bestisia** : Together!

**Ayaka** : That's right!

(Ayaka walks over to them and places her hand above Bestisia's)

**Ayaka** : We can do it! Together!

**Fuyu** : ........

(Fuyu smiles)

**Fuyu** : Impressive, all of you.

(Fuyu places her hand above Ayaka's)

**Yuna** : ........

(Tamami grabs her hand and places Yuna's hand above Fuyu's)

**Tamami** : ......Together.

**Yuna** : .........

**Yuna** : ........Together.

**Gawain** : My, my. What great friendship they have. I wish we Butlers could be friends with each other.

**Tristan** : Out of the question, Sir Gawain. As long as Prince Jack possesses animosity over Young Master, we will never be friends with them!

**Palamedes** : Prince Jack.......

**Gawain** : But......

**Gawain** : The girl over there....

(Gawain points at Yuna)

**Gawain** : She.....is unsure about her decision.......for now, that is.

**Tristan** : You can see that, Sir Gawain?

**Gawain** : Of course I can. I am one of House Rosenkreuz's best Butlers, remember?

**Tristan** : O-Of course!

**King** : She has to face her obstacles either with her newfound friends.....or face it alone.

**Gawain** : ........

**King** : That.....is the trial she has been sent into.

**King** : For now, we pray that nothing bad happens to them.

**Gawain** : ......We will, Young Master. We will.

**Tamami** : Hey, Fuyu-chan.

**Fuyu** : What is it?

**Tamami** : Aren't you supposed to be cold? It was freezing back there.

**Fuyu** : .....? No, not really.

**Bestisia** : What?! But it was so free-ACHOO!!!!

**Ayaka** : Geez, Bestisia! Here, have a tissue.

**Bestisia** : T-Thank you, Saito-san! ACH-

**Fuyu** : .....I'm immune to cold weather.

**Bestisia** : Oh....I'm jealous- ACHOOO!!!!

**Ayaka** : Alright, come on! Let's go back to school already!

**Tamami** : Alright, alright!

(Tamami looks at King and his servants)

**Tamami** : Thank you for helping us! We really appreciate it!

**Gawain** : .......

(Gawain gets down from his horse, then he kneels in front of Tamami and hold her hand)

**Gawain** : My, your hair is a mess. Allow me, Gawain, to help you tidy your hair.

**Tamami** : .......(Whoa......)

**Tamami** : (He's.......charming.....!!!)

**Gawain** : It won't take long, I promise.

(Gawain tidies Tamami's hair)

**Tamami** : (What is this.....is this......L-L-Love...at first...sight?)

**Gawain** : There, all done!

**Tamami** : Wow! It's even prettier than usual! Thanks, Charming Butler!

**Gawain** : Ohoho....To be praised by a young woman such as you....! I am delighted, indeed!

**Tamami** : W-Where did you learn how to tidy a girl's hair?

**Gawain** : Ah, Ragnelle taught me.

**Tamami** : Ah, she must be your mo-

**Gawain** : She's my girlfriend.

**Tamami** : .....!!!!!

**Yuna** : .......

**Bestisia** : Looks like I heard something crack inside Tamami-chan.

**Ayaka** : Poor girl.

**Fuyu** : Come on, Tamami. We're going back to the Music Club.

**Tamami** : .....Th-Thank you for fixing my hair! Goodbye!!

**Gawain** : .......Ah!

**Palamedes** : That's a disappointed face.

**Tristan** : Oh, how sad.

**King** : Ahaha.

[Music Club]

**Miezu** : Welcome ba-AH?!

(Bestisia, Yuna, Tamami and Ayaka are constantly sneezing, with Fuyu behind them)

**Miezu** : Did you guys- went outside several minutes ago? I thought a big storm was-

**Bestisia** : .....Yes.

**Yuna** : No.

**Ayaka** : ....Yes.

**Tamami** : Yes.....

**Fuyu** : The one who lies sneezes.

**Yuna** : ACHOOO-Hey!

**Miezu** : \*sigh\* go rest over there.

(The girls go to the room to rest except Fuyu, who is also drenched)

**Fuyu** : ......

**Miezu** : .......How are you not sneezing?

**Fuyu** : I'm immune to cold.

**Miezu** : ......Okay.

**Yuna** : ....Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : What is it?

**Yuna** : Can you join me tomorrow?

**Fuyu** : .....To where?
