Once upon a time...
...there lived a fair young man.
People loved the beautiful young man...
...but the young man never tried to love anyone.
That was because he loved only himself.
Because he sought only to be loved...
...when the young man who neglected to love...
...found someone that he truly loved...
...he discovered that he could not even...
...convey his feelings to her.
Kraehe Calm down, father!
If you keep doing this, you'll harm your body.
Raven Do you have a heart for me yet?
A young, beautiful heart...
Kraehe Well, princess Tutu interferes every time...
Raven Don't make excuses!
Kraehe But father...!
Princess Tutu is trying to awaken the old prince!
So...!
Raven As the daughter of a high-class raven...
You should not complain!
Hurry and bring a heart to me!
Kraehe I understand, so please calm yourself, father!
Oh poor father...
Inko Y Ah, Mytho-sama!
Inko R When I think of Mytho-sama, my heart is so full!
Inko Y Even while dining like this...
Inko R I think of nothing but Mytho-sama!
We need to be getting back to class!
Inko Y Y-You're right.
Inko RY Let's hurry!
Lilie Ahiru, you don't really care about Mytho-sama anymore, right?
Ahiru What?
Pique I can understand that, though.
He's really changed, that Mytho-sama.
Ahiru Y-You think?
Pique It's as if the mystery that enshrouded him has disappeared...
Or maybe it just seems like he'd go for any girl now?
Lilie A beast?
Pique You need to be a little bit more friendly to be an idol.
Lilie Kind of like acting silly when necessary?
Ahiru That's because... it isn't the real Mytho.
Kraehe You returned the feeling of love to the prince...
...without knowing that it had been bathed in raven's blood.
Mytho Tutu... help me!
Ahiru I'm sure that Mytho himself is the one suffering the most.
I want to turn him back into the original Mytho as soon as I can!
But how can I...?
Femio Bonjour!
Mademoiselle...
Ahiru Mado...?
Ah... Pique? Lilie?
Femio O lady of the truthful eyes...
Please, take this.
Ahiru Thank you very much.
Femio That cannot compare to the depth of your love.
Ahiru Umm, you are...?
Femio Non, non!
I can understand wanting to know everything about me.
But I cannot answer you.
Because...
I love all people...
...and am loved by all people.
The person who is qualified to be a true prince.
Ahiru A true prince?
Femio However...
Right now, all of the girls in the academy...
...have thrown themselves into his false love!
Ahiru Do you mean Mytho?
Femio That's right!
Because I am yet imperfect...
I cannot love others enough...
Bring upon...
...the sinful me...
Ahiru Wha?!
Femio ...punishment!
Moutan That's good!
¡Olé!
Femio ¡Olé!
You're in such a hurry, mon cherie...
...such a shy person.
This punishment is injuring me...
...but it cannot compare to that in so many girls' hearts.
Moutan Femio-sama!
Ahiru Quack... quack...
QUACK!
That surprised me!
A true prince...
Was the person on the horse a prince too?
Rue What are you planning?
Mytho "What"?
Rue If we don't let him eat the heart of a sacrifice soon...
...I'll feel sorry for my poor father!
He's never been very patient, you know.
I've grown tired of waiting as well.
Is someone there?
Tu-
Ahiru!
You can go, Mytho.
Mytho But...
Rue It's all right, go on.
Mytho Right.
Ahiru Wait, Mytho!
Rue It's no use!
Ahiru Rue-chan...
Rue I told you there's no Rue, did I not?
Ahiru I just can't believe that.
I get the feeling that Rue-chan is really Rue-chan, after all.
Rue It has nothing to do with what you think.
The prince is already mine.
Moutan Prince? Did you call for me?
Young lady...
Ahiru Qu-!
Femio Your hand...
...s'il vous plait.
You need not blush like that, cute one.
Blooming like a flower...
Soaring off like a bird...
So beautiful are you...
Oh?
She really is a timid girl.
Ah, this cursed body...
Even while charmed by me...
...her beauty will be disturbed just by getting closer...
My senses!
How rude of me, mademoiselle.
For me to not notice your passionate gaze until now...
Rue You say you're a prince?
Femio Yes.
I love all people...
...and am loved by all people.
The person who is qualified to be a true prince.
I promise... that someday I will possess all love.
At that time... no one will be able to exist without loving me.
Raven As I am still a raven in truth...
The only one who can look upon your tragic figure, reborn as an ugly human...
...and speak words of love from deep in his heart...
Aside from me, the prince of the story is the only one who can do so.
Rue What wonderful coincidence.
Pride so great that it blinds...
So much as to bring hatred.
You're wonderful, aren't you?
Moutan Femio-sama, could this be, could this be?
Femio Could it be?
Moutan This is the time to show her your charms!
Neko Now then...
Today we will conduct an aptitude test.
Though I say that, there is no reason to be nervous.
As long as you are regularly practicing...
You should have no problems.
Ahiru Doing this, it seems like nothing has changed...
Mytho...
Neko Now, the first to go will be...
Mytho-s...
Femio Neko-sensei!
I think that it would be appropriate for me to be first to go...
Neko Femio-san from the apprentice class?!
Femio That which touches upon true art should have significance to you all, correct?
Ahiru He sure has a lot of confidence for someone in the apprentice class...
Pique Could it be that he's really good...?
Ahiru Could it be...
...that he's REALLY WEIRD?
Neko Um, Femio-san...
I do understand your wanting to search for true art...
But first you must learn the basics...
Femio I don't mind.
Geniuses are never recognized in their own time.
But someday, this dance of mine will fill everyone's hearts.
Yes, that is fate.
Neko-sensei! If I was a girl...
...I would have offered to MARRY you...
Moutan!
My goddess...
There are feelings that can be conveyed without being put into words.
Mytho A feeling conveyed without being put into words?
Rue What's wrong?
Femio One more goes to you, so passionate...
Ahiru Mytho!
That's... a pose of love?
Mytho!
Drossel Words without voice...
Is that a sign of the prince's revival?
Or is it...
...a suppressed scream?
Which is it?
Which is it?
I'm afraid that that is all for today.
Is a fun story awaiting us?
A sad story?
Or maybe...
Now, let us continue our interrupted story.
Is what is waiting for us a happy ending?
A cruel ending?
Or maybe...?
Inko Y Geez, I can't believe it!
Inko R What a shock!
Inko Y Without a doubt, that was the pose of love, wasn't it?
Inko R And towards Femio!
Inko Y Actually, Femio gave a flower to Ahiru too, didn't he?
Inko R You're right. Wouldn't he and Ahiru be a perfect couple?
Uzura What's a perfect couple-zura?
Inko Y A perfect couple is...
Inko R Being love-love, I guess?
Uzura Ahiru is love-love-zura?
Inko Y We were saying it would be good if she were.
Uzura Oh! Thanks-zura!
Pique I thought Ahiru slipped up when she talked to the prince, but...
Lilie This has gotten rather complicated, hasn't it?
Pique To have this new prince be a rival in love for the old prince...
Ahiru Is that guy a prince too?
Lilie Of course not!
Pique He's just saying he is.
Well now that that happened, why don't you go out with Femio?
Lilie That's right! That would be good!
Ahiru What?!
Pique The level of your prince would fall quite a bit, though...
Lilie He and Ahiru wouldn't go together, their stories wouldn't go together...
I think it would be lots of fun!
Ahiru You think it'd be fun?
Lilie Well of course! It'd be so fun that I could watch all day without getting bored!
Pique But you know...
Right now we don't really know whether or not Mytho's pose was directed towards Femio.
Lilie Huh? Then who would it be...?
Pique Maybe it was aimed at all of the girls, or something!
Lilie Ah, what a beast!
Ahiru Mytho...
I think that that was the real Mytho.
Because that was...
He looked so sad...
And had such pain in his eyes...
Neko It seems that you've calmed down for the most part.
Mytho Yes. I'm sorry to have worried you.
Neko Did something happen?
That pose was very well done...
But it was so painful and ephemeral...
...it worried me somewhat.
Mytho Nothing, really.
Neko Is that right?
You should rest a little bit more.
Mytho Neko-sensei?
Neko What is it?
Mytho Do you think that when someone feels so strongly that they're willing to throw their life away...
...is when love shines its brightest?
Neko That may be true.
But love cannot shine from that alone.
Mytho What?
Neko You cannot marry because of that alone.
Mytho What does that...?
Neko Oh, Rue-san.
Here to visit?
Rue Yes.
Mytho I need to go find a new sacrifice, right?
Rue No.
I'll do it.
You go on back to the dorm.
Mytho You will?
Rue What's so funny?
Mytho Nothing.
I'll be waiting for you, princess.
Fakir Again?
The end has been torn out.
Just my imagination?
Uzura Fakir!
Fakir What is it?
Uzura What does it mean that it's nice for Ahiru to be love-love in school-zura?
Fakir Ahiru? With whom?
Ah, no...
Uzura What does it mean-zura?
Fakir I don't know!
Uzura Don't hide it from me-zura!
Fakir Hey, stop that!
Aotoa Could you please be quiet?
Fakir Yeah, I'm sorry.
Femio As time passes, my sins keep piling up...
...such that even Mytho faints in the presence of my beauty.
The girls fear to even come near me!
They truly wish to burn my image into their eyes!
Ah, that is right!
But I cannot save those girls from their sadness!
Ah, heaven...
Please rain your punishment down upon me!
Moutan That's it!
Femio ¡Olé!
Mon amour...
Rue Could I talk with you for a bit?
Femio What?
Of course! There is no question about it!
I am always open to you girls...
Rue Come.
Femio Where?
Rue Somewhere to prove the love between us.
Pique Isn't this kind of a bad atmosphere?
Lilie Is this a battle?!
Ahiru Rue-chan!
Rue If we don't let him eat the heart of a sacrifice soon...
I've grown tired of waiting as well.
Ahiru Rue-chan, what are you...?
Lilie This will be a bloodbath! A bloodbath!
Ahiru?
Pique Ah, she's chasing them.
Lilie Ah, no way!
Ahiru, you really love battles, don't you?!
Ahiru Huh? I'm sure they came this way.
Femio Hey...
What are we going to do in here?
Hey, you?
Rue Are you scared?
Femio Scared?
Fear does not suit a person like me, does it?
No, if I was to name one thing that I feared...
...it might be my own beauty.
Rue When you lose your heart, you won't fear that either.
I hope father likes you as well.
Femio What?
Does that mean that you're going to introduce me to your father?
Rue Yes.
Femio But that would mean that we were to finally go out together, right?
That might be a little much for the two of us.
Rue I don't mind.
I need you.
Femio What a sinful man I am!
To have bound your heart so closely to me...
How...
How deep my sins are!
No longer will half-hearted punishments suffice for my atonement!
Moutan! This is the time for it!
Moutan Right!
Rue There's no need to atone for anything.
That's not what I want.
Femio I understand.
If you're going to go that far...
Rue Even if it's just for one night...
Kraehe I will have you sink into my father's arms!
Femio I offer up everything to you.
Ahiru Rue-chan!
Where are you?
That was... Femio's...
Over there!
Kraehe Love only me.
Turn your hatred upon everything else.
Femio Yes, I will love only y-
I will love on-
I just can't do it!
I cannot give my love to only one person!
Huh? Who might you be, mademoiselle?
Kraehe That's...
Femio Please forgive my rudeness, mademoiselle.
I could not remain unaware of your charms.
Tutu Wait!
Let go of his hand, Kraehe.
Femio You're...
Tutu Will you dance with me?
Femio With you?
I can't do it!
To choose one of you over the other...
Such a cruel thing...
To take this love...
To take this much into myself all at once...
It goes deep, too deep...
A glorious sin for which I simply cannot atone...
Fakir Really, things are never easy with you-
Femio Oh, heaven!
Please give your punishment to my sinful self!
Moutan That's it!
Femio Mon... a... mour...
Tutu Kraehe!
Kraehe...
Moutan Now, let us go, Femio-sama.
Fakir Why are these bulls...?
Uzura This is cool-zura! There are lots-zura!
Ah, Ahiru-zura.
Ahiru Fakir!
Fakir Did something happen?
Ahiru Ah, it kinda feels like something happened, but not really...
I don't really...
Fakir What is that supposed to mean?
Ahiru Hey, Fakir?
Fakir What?
Wh-What is it, all of a sudden?!
Ahiru Mytho did that same thing before.
I don't know why he did it, but that was the real Mytho, right?
Uzura Ahiru is love-love with Mytho-zura?
Ahiru What?!
Fakir Don't go saying things like that, Uzura!
Rue You knew, didn't you?
Mytho Knew what?
Rue That I couldn't take a sacrifice myself.
Mytho So it didn't go well?
He didn't love you enough to throw away his life, did he?
How sad for you.
Drossel My, my... the other princess is one who isn't loved no matter how she bids for it.
She just can't get her way, can she?
