Dear Brother
A golden bowl, on the right hand
A silver bowl, on the left
Never equal without the other
Those two bowls in each of us;
Those two invisible bowls.
The golden bowl, filled with happiness
Shines with a warm radiance
The overflowing love I've felt since I met you
Couldn't possibly be held in the golden bowl
A golden rapture,
A silver sadness
Let us lay down everything that has passed
So that only you may be held, So that only love may be held,
Let us empty those twin bowls.
Did you hear? They say the petition is gaining momentum.
I never thought this would be possible...
It seems like a lot of seniors also signed it.
What would become of us members?
I wonder what Lady Miya is thinking...
Shh! Lady Miya is going to be here any minute!
It's okay. The Sorority has the board's full support.
Please be quiet, everyone.
What are you so afraid of, everyone?
How unexpected,
for chosen members such as you to be unsettled over such triviality.
B-but, Lady Miya...
The petition is going out of control even as we speak!
Please take it easy.
Nothing could possibly endanger the Sorority, which is
a long-time tradition.
Well, everyone.
Shall we begin the meeting for next week's opera appreciation?
Episode 31 The Bad Apple.
Hurry!
Come on, the class is going to start without us if we don't hurry!
Hayashida! Kiryu!
You see, Nakaya, you know...
Can you let us sign... the petition, too?
What are you saying, Hayashida? Aren't you girls in the Sorority?
You're going to be expelled from the Sorority if you do that!
We're fine.
-Back then... -Huh?
Back then, we didn't help Junko out...
Please submit your resignation voluntarily by this week.
Kiryu, Hayashida, please explain!
Explain to her that I was ill! Please!
We began doubting the Sorority since then.
We're sorry, Junko.
Forgive us, Junko.
No, it's... It's not at all...
-Junko... -Junko!
Brother, considerably,
By now I think I can say 'considerably',
The students' perspective is beginning to change...
Well then, I have to go collect the signatures, so see you tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!
Kiryu, Hayashida!
We need to talk to you.
Could you come with us?
Yes.
What on earth are you trying to do?
I can't believe that you, members, actually signed it!
You see, we're quitting! We will quit the Sorority, so...
I think we're being underestimated.
Do you think the Sorority can be disciplined like this?!
Stop it!
You are unsightly.
Lady Miya... But...!
If they want to sign, let them. Leave them be.
In return, you are, of course
going to be dealt with severely by the Sorority.
Please be aware that even your enrollment status will be off record.
Is that clear?
At this rate, the Sorority is really at stake.
Suppose...
Suppose the Sorority is abolished. What would become of us?
We'll lose everything.
Luxurious parties, tea parties, all these extravagant events beyond imagination...
VIP seats in the cafeteria and the library...
The freshmen's admiring gazes...
We're going to lose all that!
-What do you think? -Hmm?
Lady Miya's methods.
Mi, Lady Miya is always resolute,
and she is an asset as the chairwoman of the Sorority.
-But... -But?
Sometimes, she's too demanding to obey.
This is only between us, but I think so, too.
-You too? -Yes, sometimes...
I admire how she doesn't pursue the deserters.
But with the petition taking such a turn recently,
will she be able to protect the Sorority like that?
It's going to be difficult.
Well,didn't things get out of control in the first place because Lady Miya accepted that Misonoo Nanako
to the Sorority unnecessarily?
And also, Lady Miya's attitude towards that girl
was somehow suspicious.
What could be behind them?
Between Lady Miya and Misonoo Nanako...
Uh...
It's okay. Can we share the table with you?
S-sure...
-Good morning! -Good morning!
11 people in an hour...
It's going smoothly! Let's leave it here for the morning!
Yeah!
Ah, it's this late already!
I have P.E. for the first period, I'm leaving first!
Yeah, see you later!
Misonoo?
Lady Mona Lisa...
Don't make such face.
I'm just asking what's between
you and Lady Miya.
I told you, I don't know anything...
I can't figure it out no matter how much I think.
Why did Lady Miya go that far to accept you into the Sorority?
You must know something, no?
I- I don't know!
Lies!
It's true! I don't know anything!
I don't even know what you're talking about!
I'm sorry. Class is going to start...
Brother, at the time I didn't know
why Lady Mona Lisa
wanted to know the relationship between Lady Miya and me,
and I didn't even realize what was deep inside Lady Mona Lisa's mind.
It was all just... just weird.
Besides, besides, there's no way I could have told her!
The reason why Lady Miya accepted me into the Sorority...
Even though it was a misunderstanding, it's about brother and me.
And also, Lady Miya's past...
I won't ever tell her something like that!
There's got to be something!
There is an undisclosable secret between Lady Miya and Misonoo!
That's right. That's got to be Lady Miya's weakness!
Anyway, we need to stop it as soon as possible.
Yes, in order make Lady Miya
reconsider her options of preserving the Sorority.
There's no other way except this.
No other way... now is the time!
That's right, it is.
What's wrong?
It can't be helped, right? Since this is to protect the Sorority...
But if we fail this plan, it's going to be a big trouble.
Even if we succeed, it is.
Huh?
If Lady Miya's weakness
turns out to be too fatal as to forfeit her chairwomanship,
what do you think will happen?
Ogiwara or Komabayashi will
replace Lady Miya!
M... Lady Miya!
I'm sorry, I just...
It suits you too well, Ogiwara.
The Sorority Chairwoman's seat.
I'm sorry...
I will hold an emergency meeting after school.
Please assemble the entire members.
Yes. Please excuse me.
Announcement, announcement.
Sorority members,
please assemble to the Sorority House.
Repeat, repeat. Sorority members,
please assemble to the Sorority House.
I regret to inform you that we seem to have
a rotten apple in the Sorority.
Before the corruption spreads to the tree itself, we must pluck out the rotten apple.
I do not wish to cause a commotion as well,
however, if any one of you feels guilty, please submit
a voluntary resignation, before you face the consequence.
That is all.
What's going on?!
Who? Who is it? Who tipped off Lady Miya?!
Someone among us, right?
There is no one else besides us who knows about this plan!
Yamamoto.
If I'm not wrong, you were good at currying favour with Lady Miya since before, right?
What was that?!
Stop acting dumb!
Stop it already!
There's no way Yamamoto would do something like that!
Then, who is it?
How do I know?
I wonder if that's true?
-What are you implying?! -Just what you understood!
Stop it!
What's the use of pressing something like that now?!
In the end, we were too naive.
Trying to get the better of Lady Miya...
That's right. Someone like you, compared to Lady Miya...
No, you're actually no match...
What did you say?!
N-No need for violence!
Are you okay?
Is this... is this your way?
After all you've done to criticize Lady Miya's way?!
Wait, Yamamoto!
We're not involved in this business.
Do whatever you like!
They were fools, too.
Do they think that they can return to the Sorority after all this?
Lady Miya easily knows which members are rotten apples.
No, no! I don't want to quit the Sorority!
Get a grip! This isn't the end yet.
Misonoo Nanako.
We have to reveal her relationship with Lady Miya!
This is our last bet.
It's either us or Lady Miya!
Yes, Misonoo residence.
I'm sorry for calling so suddenly.
Lady Mona Lisa?
We want to ask you a small favour.
A favour?
Yes. At the moment, the senior members
are discussing the Sorority's future.
Now that it has come to this,
isn't it obvious that the Sorority's honour is as good as disgraced?
That's why, I think it's better to abolish it as soon as possible.
But everyone can't seem to reach a decision,
so as an ex-member, could you persuade them?
N-No way... How can someone like me...
No. This can't be done if it's not you.
Uh... You see...
Then, I'll be waiting.
Brother,
Lady Mona Lisa's words were what I've been wishing for all along.
But... But, to persuade the seniors by myself...
Hello? Ah, is that Prince Kaoru?
Uh... Where are the other members?
Right in here. Come.
Mo, Lady Mona Lisa, this is...?
Well done, Misonoo!
Lady Borgia...
You're too naive.
There's no way we would proclaim the Sorority's abolition.
I'm sorry, Misonoo.
But you see, we want to know, no matter what!
What exactly happened between you and Lady Miya...
Please, tell us!
Th-that...
I don't think that's really your business.
About that, that's really our business!
Lady Miya's and your secret...
Our position is at danger if we don't find that out!
Ours!
Let me go!
Hey, there's no need to be afraid.
Weren't you also
a part of the Sorority like us, just until recently?
Actually I didn't want to accept someone like you,
but didn't I bear with you, and treat you just like other members?
Didn't I instruct you on party etiquette?
Didn't I also teach you flower-arranging?
I also taught you past-exam papers.
And sometimes, I would even smile to you.
Just like this...
Because Lady Miya was there.
Because something was there between you and Lady Miya!
I won't let you act dumb now after all this!
Stop it!
I won't let you go!
We, too, came too far until there's nowhere else to run!
Say it, now!
I don't know, nothing!
There's no way you don't!
What should I say to satisfy you?!
The truth! Lady Miya's secret!!
Stop it, Ogiwara! You're going to fall, it's dangerous!
Come on, quickly!
Watch out!
Ogiwara...
We... This isn't... This... don't want...
I don't want this!
No! No! No...
I'm sorry. I couldn't find the place, so I came too late.
Brother, both Lady Borgia and Lady Mona Lisa
were really kind seniors, who always looked after underclassmen.
Even so... Driven into a corner, they go that far...
That far...
Brother, I'm collecting signatures for the abolition of the Sorority.
I just want that system called the 'Sorority' to end.
Please trust me.
Absolutely not because of a personal grudge against each single member.
It's never that.
But, Brother...
But...
Perhaps I might have inevitably driven other people into corners...
It's a sad memory.
I dreamt an awesome dream last Sunday
But when it saw you,
Surprised, the dream just flew away
I would never lose
So just for you
I have rushed and tried so hard
This feeling of love, staying in my heart
bewildered by the mischievous fairies' game
dances to and fro, always capricious
