Act 19 [A Midsummer Night's Dream]
19. AKT
~Ein Sommernachtstraum~
Once upon a time...
...there lived a maiden in love.
She wanted to convey her feelings to her beloved.
But because the love might end when her feelings were expressed...
...the maiden worried painfully through the nights.
She refused food and drink, and was not even able to sleep...
..and finally, still unable to express her feelings...
...she died.
However, the man...
...without ever knowing of the maiden's existence...
...married another woman, and lived happily ever after.
Ahiru Qua...
I fell asleep as a duck...
In Fakir's arms...
Ah, I wonder if Fakir dressed my wounds for me.
Quack!
Quack!
They're frozen.
Drossel Congratulations, Ahiru-chan.
Ahiru Quack!
Drossel The prince's pride has been returned to him.
Ahiru Quack quack quack quaaack!
Drossel Now all of the prince's heart has been returned to him!
Ahiru What?
Really?!
Then, right now...
Drossel That's right.
Right now he should be suffering quite a bit...
Ahiru What?!
Drossel After all, those aren't all the pieces of his heart.
Ahiru What?
You just said they were all returned...
Drosselmeyer-san!
Drossel Those were all of the pieces that were hidden in the cracks of people's hearts.
But those aren't all of the pieces.
Ahiru What? Is that right?
Drossel It is!
After all, he broke apart his heart in order to seal away the monster raven!
Ahiru Then...
Drossel Ah, I can't stay any longer!
Ahiru Ah, wait! Then what should I...
Where are the rest of the pieces?
Can the piece of his heart that was bathed in raven's blood be returned to normal?!
Tell me!
Drossel I can't, Ahiru-chan!
We'll meet again!
When I want us to, that is.
Uzura She disappeared-zura?
Fakir What?
You saw Drosselmeyer, you say?
Ahiru Yeah.
It seems that time stops when I meet with Drosselmeyer-san.
It's okay now, Fakir.
Fakir And so?
Ahiru He said that the rest of the pieces of Mytho's heart are sealing away the monster raven.
Also...
He said that Mytho was suffering because of the pieces of his heart that I returned.
Fakir So what?
Ahiru What?
Fakir If it's as Drosselmeyer says...
...when the rest of the pieces are returned, the raven will be revived.
In other words, that will be when the fighting starts.
Mytho has prepared himself to suffer...
If you're not prepared for that...
You should stop becoming princess Tutu.
I will protect Mytho with my sword.
Ahiru I don't really want you to carry that sword.
I mean, it's dangerous...
Fakir You mean that you don't recognize my ability as a knight?
Ahiru That's not it!
You've been investigating everything in books and stuff all this time, right?
So, even if there's a knight like that...
I was thinking...
Fakir...
Fakir If your wounds are all right now, you should go home.
I'll walk you there.
Ahiru Are you mad?
Fakir I'm not really mad.
Ahiru You are mad...
Thanks for dressing my wounds...
Fakir See you.
Ahiru Good night!
Fakir A knight who can't protect his princess, huh?
Mytho What can you do?
The knight who couldn't even die...
Your role in the story is over!
Fakir Whether I'm here or not...
Would it make no difference in the story at all?
Ahiru Fakir sure was strange...
First getting mad, then suddenly being depressed...
Neko Ahiru-san!!
P&L Look out!
Pique A few more centimeters and it would have been marriage to Neko-sensei!
Ahiru Ah, thanks.
Lilie Spacing out like that... you were thinking about Fakir-sama, weren't you?
Ahiru Ah, I was...
Lilie You want to express your feelings, right?
Ahiru No...
Lilie Well then, why don't you send him a love letter?
Ahiru That's...
Lilie A good plan, don't you think?
Lilie I thought that might be the case, so I got one ready for you!
A love letter to Fakir!
Pique If you take that and wander aimlessly around campus...
Bottom-san will appear and then you can ask her to do it!
Ahiru Bottom-san?
Pique She'll deliver your letter for you.
They say she can understand the feelings of people in love!
Ahiru Understand their feelings...
P&L We call it the "Great love-love letter plan"!
Pique Well then, do your best!
Lilie Now, we have to get all prepared to comfort her!
Ahiru A love letter to Fakir...
If I gave this to him, he'd say...
"Don't do such worthless stuff, moron."
...or something like that.
Uzura That's love-love-zura?
Ahiru But being able to understand people's feelings...
If I had the power to do that...
I wonder if I could find out Mytho's true feelings.
Bottom-san...
Rue Prince...
Prince, are you here?
What is this?
It looks like people were fighting here...
It couldn't be...
Is something happening because of the new feeling he got back?
Mytho I have to conquer the blood of the raven...
As a prideful prince...
Ahiru I wonder what kind of person Bottom-san is...
Bottom Are you worried about love?!
Ahiru Are you Bottom... san?
Bottom I am the ally of girls in love, Bottom-san!
Now, let me have your letter...
Uzura A tail... it's not-zura.
Where's your tail-zura?
Bottom What?
Ahiru Ah, Bottom-san!
Uzura Love-love-love-love-love...
Ahiru Bottom-san! Bottom-san!
Bottom-san?
Bottom No, I'm not Bottom-san!
I don't know anything about lett...
Ahiru You're in a higher class, aren't you?
Bottom Ah, you found me out.
I'm Hermia.
Hermia Keep this a secret from everyone, okay?
I'll be sure to deliver this letter.
Ahiru Ah, that's all right!
My friend wrote that for me, but she mistook who it is that I like...
Hermia Oh...
Ahiru Ah, my name is Ahiru.
Hermia Ahiru-san?
Well then, if you write a real letter, bring it to me anytime, okay?
Ahiru I...
There's a reason that I can't confess...
Hermia I see...
Ahiru Um, Hermia-san, can you understand people's feelings?
Hermia Huh?
Oh, not really "understand," I just sometimes feel them.
"Ah, this person is in love..." or...
"She seems sad, I wonder if she's heartbroken?" or stuff like that.
I'm pretty tall, right?
So I was always at the back of the lines...
But one day I realized...
From behind everyone, I could see their feelings of love...
The painful feelings of people in love...
Love can be wonderful, but it can make you suffer and feel sad at times, right?
So it's hard to come out and say you like someone...
And everyone shuts their feelings in.
I thought that I'd at least like to help those people...
Ahiru Is that right?
Hermia But you know...
Lately, all the letters have been to Mytho-sama...
Ahiru To Mytho?
Hermia Yes.
I deliver a lot of letters every day, but...
Most of the wishes in them will never be granted.
Ahiru Hermia-san, do you see Mytho every day then?
Hermia Yes.
Actually, it's more like Mytho comes to see me.
Ahiru Well then, do you know anything about Mytho's feelings?
Hermia What?
Ahiru Anything would be fine!
Hermia I'm sorry.
Mytho-sama's feelings are the only ones that I can't grasp.
Ahiru Is that right?
Hermia Ahiru-san, could it be that you like Mytho too?
Ahiru What?
Hermia-san, could it be that you like Mytho too?
Hermia Ah, no! I don't feel anything for Mytho-sama!
I have someone I like named Lysander...
Ahiru Lysander-san?
Hermia Yes.
Mytho I have to get back all the pieces of my heart...
Kraehe...
Drossel To whom does the prince's heart belong?
Where is the prince's heart?
That's a secret...
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...?
Kraehe Prince...
You don't need to suffer any longer.
I am your princess.
I'll save you from your suffering.
Come back, prince of ravens.
Back to me...
Mytho I won't become the prince of ravens!
Kraehe If you don't...
Your suffering will continue...
Mytho Suffering...
Kraehe Inside of you, just as inside of me...
...raven blood is flowing!
No one can get rid of it.
No one can stop it!
I will love you.
More deeply than anyone...
I will love you, so...
Mytho You'll love me?
It's expected for a princess to love her prince.
Love me more... only me...
Kraehe Prince?
Mytho It's not enough...
The love is not enough!
Kraehe Shut up!
Hermia Lysander is in the sculpture school, in the same year as I am.
This is one of his works.
Ahiru Wow.
Hermia Your heart warms just looking at it, doesn't it?
Ahiru What? Ahh...
Hermia Somehow... it feels like lots of love is packed into it.
Ahiru Right...
Hermia He must have made it while thinking about someone...
Ahiru But that might be you, Hermia-san!
Hermia That can't be!
I know myself the most, so...
Ahiru Is that Lysander-san?
Hermia Yes.
Doesn't he seem like a kind person?
Ahiru He... he sure does!
M... Me?
A pose?
What pose is that?
A pose of marriage?!
I don't know!
A pose of an oath?!
Ah, a pose of refusal?
That was close, wasn't it?
Hermia Yes.
Ahiru You're not going to write a love letter?
Hermia No, no, no!
Uzura Love-love-love-love-love...
...love-love-love-love-love...
Hermia What's tha-
Ahiru Ah, something came up.. so... um...
Uzura Love-love-love-love-love-love-love...
Ahiru Goodbye!
Uzura ...love-love-love-love-love-love-love...
Ahiru Ah, this is bad!
Fakir!
Fakir What are you playing with Uzura?
Aotoa I'm asking you, could you please be quiet?!
Fakir Sorry.
Ahiru Fakir, you're looking through books again...
Fakir I'm just doing what little I can.
It's not like I've thrown away my sword.
Ahiru Right.
Now, Uzura-chan, we're bothering him, so let's go.
Aotoa I'm asking you to please be quiet here!
Ahiru Ah, I'm sorry!
Fakir Why?
Why is it that all of these books worry me?
But all the books I get have their ends torn out.
The script about the ghost knight as well...
But I saw the conclusion of that story in a dream.
Damn it! What does this mean?
Ahiru We need to be quiet in the library, okay?
Uzura Okay!
TsuchiR Of all people, that late-bloomer Hermia...
TsuchiL For her to be Mytho's partner...
Tsuchi Ah, this is all messed up!
Ahiru Um, excuse me?
Did something happen between Mytho and Hermia-san?
TsuchiR Not just something...
TsuchiL A date!
Ahiru What?
TsuchiR They walked hand in hand toward the forest!
Ahiru The forest?
TsuchiL Isn't it a shock?
TsuchiR You want to dig too?
Ahiru Ah, I'm fine!
Thank you very much!
Mytho Hermia...
Or should I say, Bottom the donkey?
Hermia You knew? That I was Bottom the donkey?
Mytho I've been watching only you all this time, after all.
I know everything.
That you like Lysander as well...
Hermia Ah, here! Today's letters...
Mytho I don't need those anymore.
You are my princess.
A prima donna for me only, Hermia.
Carrying other people's letters for them...
...in order to gloss over your own lack of courage.
Hermia I didn't...
Mytho You pretended to help everyone, but it was all for yourself.
That's right, isn't it?
Hermia I...
Mytho It's okay like that.
All the others are just using you.
So you can think just of yourself now.
If you love me, you don't have to deceive yourself.
Love only me, and turn your hatred upon all others.
Hermia Yes, I will love only you, Mytho-sama...
And hate all others.
Mytho Then, as proof of that...
Your beautiful heart...
Will you give it to me?
Hermia Yes.
Mytho Then come here, into my arms!
Give your heart to me!
Hermia With you here, I can become a prima donna, right?
I've had enough of delivering other's loves.
From now on, I will live for myself...
For Mytho-sama...
Mytho Yes, for me, you will give me your life!
Ahiru Hermia-san!
Tutu Hermia-san?
Don't go that way!
Hermia Are you trying to interfere?
Tutu Will you dance with me?
Hermia With you?
Mytho Hermia!
Hurry and come here.
Give your love to me.
Hermia Yes, Mytho-sama.
Mytho Yes, this is good.
Now, into my arms...
Tutu Hermia-san, is this really okay?
Is it all right to end your love like this?
Without saying anything...
Mytho It's fine!
That worthless love... you should just throw it away!
Hermia Yes, I just want my love to disappear.
Tutu That's not true!
It's not worthless!
It's your precious feeling, Hermia-san.
A love that you cannot express...
But if it is truly an important feeling...
It would be terrible to throw it away.
You shouldn't hide the feeling away inside of you...
You should express it.
I, too... If I could...
If I could...
Mytho Disappear from inside of me, raven!
Hermia That's right, I...
I haven't expressed my feelings for Lysander!
I... my feelings...
Tutu That's right.
The feeling that you've nurtured until it seemed as if it would burst...
That is true love.
Mytho That's right!
What you're searching for is false love!
Make-believe love!
Shut up!
What is this true love?!
If you say that this is false love...
All the love in the world must be false love!
Tutu Hermia-san!
Hermia Lysander...
Uzura I found Ahiru's love-love-zura!
Lysan Yes?
Hermia Uh... Umm...
Lysander...
You might be surprised to hear me say this, but...
I... I...
Lysander, I...
I like you.
This... could it be...
Lysan I just used you as a model without asking because...
I thought that I would confess to you when it was finished...
Fakir Hey.
Ahiru What?
Fakir Yesterday, Uzura brought this to me.
Ahiru Tha... I didn't write it, Lilie and Pique wrote it for me!
So, how do I say...
Sorry.
Fakir Don't do such worthless stuff, moron.
Ahiru As I thought...
Mytho True love, they say? Don't make me laugh!
Everyone just wants to be loved!
Rue Poor prince...
I'm sure that my father's blood will save you from your suffering soon!
Mytho Yes.
I need to catch a sacrifice.
Rue That's right. For us as well...
Mytho It's not for you!
This is just to get food for that foolish monster raven.
He awakened me...
I should at least pay him back somehow.
Drossel That's right!
This story was about a prince and a monster raven, wasn't it?
That means the fight began long, long ago.
You haven't forgotten that, have you, Ahiru-chan?
