== Episode 9 Translation =================================================

??????: The island of Cite......  To think that the enemy's base of
   operations would be in the place that's even been called the heart
   of Paris......

??????: What's more...... the enemy's offensive strength has far exceeded
   our estimations.

??????: Surrounded by the the Seine River, Cite island is a veritable
   fortress......

??????: On top of which, the temple Notre Dame where the kaijin have
   set up their base has been armed and converted into a fortified
   temple......

??????: The operation to go ashore on the island of Cite, carried out by
   special forces of the French army, ended in failure before the enemy's
   might......

??????: Furthermore, the mystical energy reaction in the underground core is
   continuing to increase rapidly.  To become so powerful that Paris may be
   blown away......

??????: ......So the fact that Paris too is meeting with a calamity of a
   spiritual nature, following that of Teito Tokyo, means that this too is
   the fate of cities......

??????: That's right......  Cities carry with them the connotation of the
   contradiction of light and darkness, huh......

??????: In Teito Tokyo there was the Imperial Floral Assault Squad
   established with Ikki Yoneda as its commanding officer.

??????: As a result of that...... Teito has been saved twice from spiritual
   calamities.  But in Paris right now......

??????: It will be fine.

Grand Mere: I beg of you to entrust this city's future...... to the Paris
   Floral Assault Squad.

Episode 9
The Island Enfenced
- The Isle of Cite -
--------------------

Grand Mere: The higher-ups have handed down their decision......

   As soon as preparations have been made, the Paris Floral Assault Squad is
   to land on the island of Cite.  We are carrying out a general offensive
   against the Notre Dame.

Ogami: A general offensive on the enemy's home base......  So the time for
   the decisive battle has finally come.

Glycine: So the time's come at last to settle the score with that 
   Calmar......  He is not insufficient as an opponent!!

Lobelia: Don't give us that "he's not insufficient," will you?  Have you
   forgotten we were utterly beaten by him?

Hanabi: That's right......  When we fought him last, I was unable to even
   send one arrow to him in retribution......

Coquelicot: Ichiro, we...... have gotten stronger, right?  ......We can win
   this time, right?

== LIPS 9.1 Start ==
-- Option 1 - It'll be all right, don't worry. --
-- Option 2 - We may lose again...... --
-- Option 3 - Justice will triumph! --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - It'll be all right, don't worry. --
Ogami: It'll be all right, don't worry.  We've all got true teamwork now,
   which we didn't have in the previous battle.

Coquelicot+: Th- that's right, isn't it!!  Miss Sakura and the others taught
   us the way, after all!!

Hanabi+: Yes, and we have the Koubu F2 that Squad Leader Jean and Miss Kohran
   has made for us.

-- Option 2 - We may lose again...... --
Ogami: We may lose again......  Everyone, you mustn't let your guard down.

Glycine+: Hmhm......  That's just like you.  Our own enemy is ourselves......
   huh?  You understand well, don't you.

Coquelicot: Hey......  We're going to lose again?

Hanabi: You're mistaken, Miss Coquelicot......  Mr. Ogami is simply telling
   us not to let our guard down.

-- Option 3 - Justice will triumph! --
Ogami: Justice will triumph!  There's no way we can lose - believe in 
   yourselves!!

Lobelia+: How nice, that unfounded self-confidence!!  I don't hate that part
   of you!

Hanabi+: Mr. Ogami......  That's wonderful, *sigh*.

-- Time Over --
Coquelicot-: So we really can't win......

Hanabi-: Mr. Ogami......  Please say something......

Glycine: Do not worry!!  We have both the Koubu F2, and teamwork!
== LIPS 9.1 End ==

Lobelia: What's more...... when the time comes, Erica'll just make another
   marvellous performance, like last time...... right!?

Erica: Heh!?

Coquelicot: Have you forgotten?  She means that time you beat that crow
   spook.

Erica: Ah...... y- yes.  Please leave it to me.

Ogami: (......What's the matter?  That usual energy of hers is gone......)

Grand Mere: Preceding the attack on the temple Notre Dame, an evacuation
   order for the entire area of Paris has been officially announced.

   I want you guys to patrol around to see if the evacuation of the 
   townspeople has been completed.

   With one proviso - it was officially announced to both the police and the
   citizens that it's because of a great earthquake, so you are forbidden to
   mention the kaijin to anyone.

Ogami: Understood!!

Grand Mere: Just a second, Monsieur!  I have a little more I want to talk
   with you about - wait.

Ogami: Yes, what is it?

Grand Mere: ......Monsieur, about Erica...... isn't there something odd about
   her?  What do you suppose has happened?

Ogami: Yes, I myself had been curious about that for a while now.  I'll try
   talking with Erica.

Grand Mere: I'm counting on you......  Right now is a crucial time.  I want
   to get rid of any further ingredients for unease.

* * *

Ogami: Ah, Erica.  You haven't gone off on patrol yet?

Erica: ......That's right.  I have something to talk with you about, Mr. 
   Ogami......

Ogami: That's perfect.  I had something to talk with you about too, Erica.

   Erica, what's the matter?  You don't seem all that cheerful......

Erica: I'm...... afraid.  Of my own power......

   There's no way someone as clumsy as me...... could use such power......
   well......

   If...... the others were to get hurt because of my power......

   When I think about that...... I feel it may have been better had I not had
   such power......

Ogami: Erica, that's not true.  Your power is there for the sake of everyone
   else, isn't it.

   ......Your feelings of wanting to help someone appeared in the form of
   your power.

Erica: ......But, I'm...... uneasy......

Ogami: Erica......

== LIPS 9.2 Start ==
-- Option 1 - If you have a honest heart you'll be fine. --
-- Option 2 - There's no use worrying about it. --
-- Option 3 - I'm with you so it'll be all right. --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - If you have a honest heart you'll be fine. --
Ogami: If you have a honest heart, you'll be fine.  Whether something like
   strength is used for good or for evil is determined by the person using
   it.

   Someone as gentle as you, Erica, would be able to use that power for the
   sake of everyone else.

Erica+: ......Mr. Ogami, I understand.  If I can help everyone with this
   power......

   I'll...... try my best.

-- Option 2 - There's no use worrying about it. --
Ogami: There's no use worrying about it.  Let's work our hardest to the best
   of our ability.

   Should that turn out to be no good even so, we'll all help you, Erica.
   We're comrades, after all.

Erica+: ......That's true, isn't it.  I'm not alone anymore, am I.

   I'll try my hardest to be able to help everyone too.

-- Option 3 - I'm with you so it'll be all right. --
Ogami: I'm with you, so it'll be all right.  I'll be sure to watch to make
   sure you don't do anything clumsy.

Erica: Even so......  Even so, what if I still do something clumsy and cause
   trouble for everyone......?

Ogami: Erica, don't worry.  No matter what may happen, I'll protect all of
   you.

Erica+: ......Mr. Ogami, thank you very much.  I'll try my best.

-- Time Over --
Ogami: ............

Erica-: So you really...... are uneasy about it too, after all, Mr. Ogami?

Ogami: Ah, no......

Erica: ......But, I do feel better having talked with you, Mr. Ogami.  I'm
   fine now.
== LIPS 9.2 End ==

Erica: Now then, I'm going off too to see if the evacuation of all the 
   townspeople is complete!

   Well then, I'm off!!

Ogami: Erica!  The door hasn't opened yet!!

Erica: Owowowow......  I hit my head.

Ogami: A- are you all right!?  That made an incredible noise......

Erica: Ah, it's opened!  Now then, I'm off!!

Ogami: It looks like she's gone back to being the usual Erica......  It
   looks like she'll be fine now.

   Now then...... I guess I should be going on patrol myself.

Coquelicot: Ah, Ichiro!  Thanks for your hard work on patrol.

Ogami: Coquelicot, so this is where you've been.  How's the evacuation
   situation?

Coquelicot: Yeah......  It looks like there isn't anyone around here anymore.

   And here usually it'd be so bustling......  A marketplace with no one in
   it seems kind of...... lonely.

Ogami: You're right...... but it's all right.  Once this next battle's over,
   everyone will come back soon.

Coquelicot: Yeah......

   Ah!?  Ichiro, over there!!  There's a cat!

   Uwah, how cute!!  What's the matter?  Did you get separated from your
   owner?

   Uwah, that tickles!!  You mustn't lick me there!

   Say, Ichiro, do you suppose I could keep hold of this one until his owner
   is found?

Ogami: Let's see......

Ogami: If it's up to you, Coquelicot, then we can be at ease.  Make sure you
   watch over him well.

Coquelicot+: Leave it to me!!  Until his owner's found, I'll protect this 
   one.

-- Option 2 - Only until the owner's found. --
Ogami: Only until the owner's found.  They might be looking for this cat,
   after all.

Coquelicot+: Okay!!  Come on, come to my home - I'll give you warm milk.

-- Option 3 - ......No, leave him be. --
Ogami: ......No, leave him be.  Now isn't the time to be doing such things.

Coquelicot-: Ichiro, that's cold of you!  That wouldn't be fair to this
   kitten, would it!!

Ogami: In that case, only until his owner's found.

Coquelicot: Whew, thank goodness.  I'll make absolutely sure to take care of
   you, okay?
== LIPS 9.3 End ==

Coquelicot: What should I do about a name......?  Without the owner we won't
   know his real name, so......

Ogami: Hmm......  For now, why don't you call him whatever name you like,
   Coquelicot?

Coquelicot: You're right......  In that case, I'll give him the name of the
   person I like best!

Ogami: The person you like best?  Who would that be?

Coquelicot: Eh, that's...... eheheheh...... a secret.

~~ If Coquelicot trusts you particularly well Start ~~
Coquelicot: Ah, you mustn't run away!!  Ichiro, grab him!

Ogami: There!!

Coquelicot: Ah......

Ogami: There, I've caught him.  ......Hm?  What's the matter, Coquelicot?

Coquelicot: Ohh, Ichiro, you mustn't run away, now.

Ogami: Eh!?  Did you just call the cat's name "Ichiro" just now?

Coquelicot: I- it's nothing!  Ichiro, you meanie!!  I don't know about you
   anymore!  Bleah!!
~~ If Coquelicot trusts you particularly well End ~~

Coquelicot: ......Well, Ichiro.  I'm going to take this one and go.

Ogami: Yeah, take care.  I'm counting on you with the patrol too.  See you,
   Coquelicot.

   Now then, I guess I should try patrolling the next place too.
~~ At the marketplace (s) (Coquelicot event) End ~~

~~ At the cemetery (n) (Hanabi event) Start ~~
Ogami: ......Hanabi?  Is she visiting Philippe's grave?

Hanabi: Ah...... Mr. Ogami.

   Thank you for all your hard work......  I'm sorry, here you're in the
   middle of patrolling......

Ogami: No, it's all right......  Are you visiting Philippe's grave?

Hanabi: Yes......  I just thought I'd say my final good-bye to him.

Ogami: Hanabi, this isn't the end.  We'll come back......  We'll come back,
   having won the battle.

Hanabi: You're right......  We are going to come back, aren't we.

Ogami: Hanabi......  Do you suppose I could give my greetings to Philippe
   too?

Hanabi: Yes, please.  I think he would appreciate it too.

Ogami: Philippe......

Ogami: We will return alive.  Therefore...... please watch over us.

Hanabi+: Philippe...... I have been taught the magnficence of living from 
   this man.

   Philippe......  You will come to like Mr. Ogami, won't you?

-- Option 2 - I will protect Hanabi. --
Ogami: I will protect Hanabi.  Philippe...... please rest at ease.

Hanabi+: Mr. Ogami......  Such a bold thing to say...... *sigh*.

-- Option 3 - We may be finished too...... --
Ogami: We may be finished too......  Philippe, I'm sorry.

Hanabi-: If you, the Captain, act so faint of heart, what...... are the rest
   of us to do?
== LIPS 9.4 End ==

Hanabi: ......Well then, I'm off.  I'll come again, all right?

Ogami: Now then...... shall we go, Hanabi?  We've still got the patrol left.

~~ If Hanabi trusts you particularly well Start ~~
Hanabi: Yes......  Ah, well, Mr. Ogami......

   In Japan, when one makes a promise...... one does it by 'linking fingers,'
   doesn't one.

   Let's return alive......  Please don't leave me alone...... through this
   battle.

Ogami: Hanabi......  I promise.  I absolutely will return alive...... 
   together with everyone else.

Hanabi: Yes...... you're right......  "Bound by the pinky-swear, if you're
   lying I'll make you swallow a thousand needles."{1}

   We've pinky-sworn.
~~ If Hanabi trusts you particularly well End ~~

Hanabi: Mr. Ogami......  Um...... please excuse me.

Ogami: It seems Hanabi was able to put herself at ease too.  ......I guess I
   should be getting back to the patrol myself.
~~ At the cemetery (n) (Hanabi event) End ~~

~~ At the restaurant (Xg) (Glycine event) Start ~~
Ogami: It doesn't look like there's anyone around here anymore.

   It's usually so bustling, so it feels all the more quiet still.

Glycine: Is that the captain over there?

Ogami: Glycine......  Was there anyone who was late in getting away?

Glycine: There's no need to worry......  There aren't any civilians left in
   this area anymore.

Ogami: I see.  In that case, shall we head to the next place?

Glycine: Captain......  Captain, how do you feel about this Paris?

   For me, this Paris is a land that must be protected, in the name of the
   House of Bleumer.

   This Paris...... we shall defend......  And, my children shall likely
   continue to defend it.

   But, to a foreigner like yourself, what is this Paris?  ......Tell me.

Ogami: Paris, for me......

== LIPS 9.5 Start ==
-- Option 1 - It's the important city in which all of you live! --
-- Option 2 - It's a second home which is priceless to me. --
-- Option 3 - ......It's the city I had no choice but to come to on duty. --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - It's the important city in which all of you live! --
Ogami: It's the important city in which all of you live!  No matter what may
   happen, I'll defend this city through to the end!!

Glycine+: An answer that suits you well.  It's just like when we first
   met......  You haven't changed at all.

-- Option 2 - It's a second home which is priceless to me. --
Ogami: It's a second home that's priceless to me.  Japan's not the only 
   one......  This Paris is an important land for me too.

Glycine+: Is that so......  So you love this Paris too......  In that case,
   there's no need to fear.   

-- Option 3 - ......It's the city I had no choice but to come to on duty. --
Ogami: ......It's the city I had no choice but to come to on duty.  I am a
   soldier, after all......

Glycine-: ......Is that so.  So you are no more than a mere soldier.
== LIPS 9.5 End ==

Glycine: Captain......  We cannot afford to lose this battle...... no matter
   what may happen.

Ogami: Yeah, we won't lose.  No matter what may happen.

~~ If Glycine trusts you particularly well Start ~~
Glycine: ......Captain, would you pledge to me?  On this axe, that you will
   defend the city of Paris through to the end......?

Ogami: Yes, of course.

Glycine: I, Glycine Bleumer...... swear upon this axe, that is unto another
   half of myself, that I will defend the city of Paris through to the end.

Ogami: I, Ogami Ichiro...... swear upon Glycine's axe that I will defend the
   city of Paris through to the end.

Glycine: And...... protect me as well.  I too...... shall protect you.  Is
   that clear......?

Ogami: Of course.  You may pledge it upon your axe.

Glycine: Hm......  Those words...... would triumph over a million
   reinforcements.
~~ If Glycine trusts you particularly well End ~~

Glycine: ......I shall be patrolling this area a little longer.  I request
   that you do so elsewhere.

Ogami: Yeah, I understand.  See you, Glycine.

Glycine: Yes, let's meet at Chattes Noires.

Ogami: ......All right, I guess I'll get back to patrolling.
~~ At the restaurant (Xg) (Glycine event) End ~~

~~ At the TERUTORU Plaza (egL) Start ~~
Ogami: It looks like the people in this area have already evacuated.

   Hm?  That's...... Mell and Ci, huh.

   Mell, Ci, how's the evacuation situation in this area?

Mell: Yes......  It looks like this boy is the only one who was late in
   escaping......

Ci: It looks like he's fallen asleep from wearing himself out crying.

Mell: Mr. Ogami...... once this battle's over, this boy will be able to get
   by without crying, won't he.

Ci: Those days everyone can spend smiling will return won't they?  It will
   be all right, won't it?

Ogami: Mell......  Ci......

== LIPS 9.6 Start ==
-- Option 1 - Our duty is to create smiles. --
-- Option 2 - We will protect this Paris! --
-- Option 3 - ......It may be best if we gave up. --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - Our duty is to create smiles. --
Ogami: Our duty is creating smiles.  For that end, we won't lose to any 
   enemy.

Ci+: ......That's right, isn't it!  Getting everyone to smile is our job!!

Mell+: I have to hang in there too.  No matter what you may say, I am a
   member of Chattes Noires, after all.

-- Option 2 - We will protect this Paris! --
Ogami: We will protect this Paris!  Mell, Ci......  I'm counting on you!!

Mell+: Yes, understood!  Please leave your support to us!!

Ci+: Mr. Ogami, me too!  I'll do my best too!!

-- Option 3 - ......It may be best if we gave up. --
Ogami: ......It may be best if we gave up.  We should all evacuate to a safe
   place together.

Mell-: Mr. Ogami!  What good is it for you, the captain, to be making such
   weak-sounding statements!!

Ci-: Even so...... even so...... I'll fight here in Paris.  I can't abandon
   this child.
== LIPS 9.6 End ==

Mell: ......We'll take this boy to an evacuation area.

Ci: Mr. Ogami, please take care on patrol, okay?

Ogami: Yeah, I'm counting on you.  You two take care too.

   All right, I guess I'll go patrol the next place.
~~ At the TERUTORU Plaza (egL) End ~~

~~ At the bar (o[) Start ~~
Ogami: It looks like even the bar's closed up, as you might expect......

   It looks like the evacuation's complete in this area.  Now then, I guess
   I'll head someplace else.
~~ At the bar (o[) End ~~

~~ At the park () (Lobelia event) Start ~~
Ogami: ......As you might expect, it looks like there's no one here either.

Lobelia: As always, you're enthusiastic about your work.

Ogami: Lobelia, huh......  Well, how's the evacuation situation around this
   area?

Lobelia: There's no one in a place like this.  Even the stray dogs would 
   have all run away.

   All the valuable items throughout the city have disappeared, after all.
   For me it's a rather dull thing.

Ogami: That's the only thing you've been patrolling for?  That's really like
   you, Lobelia.

Lobelia: Heh......  Had things been the way they were meant to be..... I'd
   still be in prison......  I was supposed to have a 1000-year sentence.

   When I think about myself, someone like that, fighting for the sake of
   Paris, here...... I'm surprised by my own lifestyle.

Ogami: Lobelia......

== LIPS 9.7 Start ==
-- Option 1 - Have you gotten nostalgic about prison? --
-- Option 2 - Were you lonely without me? --
-- Option 3 - ......Cut out this post-disaster theft. --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - Have you gotten nostalgic about prison? --
Ogami: Lobelia...... could it be you've gotten nostalgic about prison?

Lobelia+: ......That may be so.  It is the place where my destiny changed,
   after all.

-- Option 2 - Were you lonely without me? --
Ogami: Was it lonely without me?  It does look like you were alone, after 
   all.

Lobelia+: Hahahaha, what a terrible joke!!  As always, you're as 
   overconfident as ever......  Is it because you're a fool?

-- Option 3 - ......Cut out this post-disaster theft. --
Ogami: ......Cut out this post-disaster theft.  I won't stand for it.

Lobelia-: You idiot, don't misjudge me......  Do you think I'd go for theft
   with no thrills?
== LIPS 9.7 End ==

Lobelia: I'm getting down, so move out of the way......  There!

   Now that you mention it, I've just remembered......  When I was in prison,
   I had a lot of free time, so I thought about some strange things.

   The other side of the wall, and this side of the wall......  It got me
   wondering about which was the inside...... and which was out.

Ogami: Isn't the prison side the inside?

Lobelia: The earth's round, right?  Then, beyond the difference between how
   cramped or how wide the inside of your enclosure is, there isn't any
   difference between inside and out.

Ogami: I see......  There is that way of thinking, too.

Lobelia: But...... now it's no good.  Because I ended up finding something
   important to me in this world over here......

Ogami: Lobelia......

Lobelia: Just kidding!  Now then, I'm off to find something that might be
   worth something.

   See you, Captain!  Keep working real hard!!

Ogami: Lobelia's really changed too......  Now then, I guess I should get 
   back to patrol myself.
~~ At the park () (Lobelia event) End ~~

~~ At the church () (Erica event) Start ~~
Ogami: Erica......  So this is where you've been......

Erica: You who art the beginning and the end......  All things are borne of
   Your wisdom......

   You, sworn to be blessed in every land...... Our father, who art in
   Heaven......

Ogami: (Is she offering up prayer......?  She really must have been ill at
   ease, after all.)

Erica: We are about to contend in a great battle in order to defend this 
   city.  I believe it will be a dangerous battle.

   It is possible...... that we may lose.  No...... that we may die.

   But, this is my mission.  I have been prepared for this since the time I
   was gifted with this mysterious power.

Ogami: Erica......

Erica: M- Mr. Ogami!?

   Um...... I - was so ill at ease, so......  Do you really suppose we can
   win?

Ogami: Erica......

== LIPS 9.8 Start ==
-- Option 1 - God will save us. --
-- Option 2 - We won't lose. --
-- Option 3 - ......We may be done for. --
-- Time Over --

-- Option 1 - God will save us. --
Ogami: That's right......  God will save us.  Isn't that right, Erica.

Erica+: ......That's right.  Those who believe will be saved, right!?

-- Option 2 - We won't lose. --
Ogami: We won't lose.  For us, fighting for the sake of justice, there's no
   way we can lose.

Erica+: You're right!  Justice will always prevail!!  God has said so.

   With both God and Mr. Ogami with us, we can rest at ease - it's very
   good!!

-- Option 3 - ......We may be done for. --
Ogami: ......We may be done for.  Let's give up, Erica.

Erica: Mr. Ogami, I thought you of all people would tell me to give up!
   ......Er, wait a minute - "let's give up!?"

-  What are you saying!?  What good is it if you give up!?!
== LIPS 9.8 End ==

Erica: Um......  Mr. Ogami...... could I have you pray along with me?

Ogami: Yeah, all right.

Erica: God......  Please...... find it in You to protect the life of someone
   precious to me.

   For that purpose...... I...... would not hesitate to offer up my own 
   self...... my own life.

Ogami: Someone precious to you......?

Erica: You heard me?  ......Well, then, there's no helping it.  In that case,
   I'll give you just a hint......

   He's a nice person with jet black hair.  Eheheh...... I went and said it.

   Now then......  My prayer to God is finished...... so I'll be going on
   patrol.

Ogami: ......All right, I guess I'll get back to patrol too.

Evian: Hey, didn't you hear the evacuation order!?!  Get yourself to an
   evacuation shelter at once.

Ogami: Inspector Evian......  Have you been patrolling too, Inspector?

Evian: Oh, you're...... Ogami?  "Too, Inspector"...... must mean - you're on
   patrol as well?

Ogami: Yes, I was told by Grand Mere to confirm the situation of the
   evacuation of the townspeople.

Evian: I see......  But, pretty soon, a big earthquake's about to come.
   Evacuate, quickly!

   According to the government announcement, we should be able to return in
   two to three days, so just hang in there until then.

Ogami: Y- yes, sir......

== LIPS 9.9 Start ==

-- Option 1 - Understood, I'll evacuate at once. --
Ogami: Understood, I'll evacuate at once.  Inspector, please evacuate 
   yourself as soon as possible.

Evian+: Yes, I understand.  After I've made another patrol around this city,
   this officer will be heading to an evacuation area too.

-- Option 2 - Inspector, aren't you evacuating too? --
Ogami: Inspector, aren't you evacuation too?  It looks like there aren't any
   more people who were late in escaping around here.

Evian+: I see...... But I'm going to evacuate only after patrolling a little
   more first.  I am a police officer, after all.

-- Option 3 - It's a waste to even try to evacuate...... --
Ogami: It's a waste to even try to evacuate......  There's no way we can 
   avoid this coming earthquake......

Evian-: ......That may be so.  The goverment's announcement may not have hit
   the mark, and the situation looks to surpass one's imagination.

   However, you mustn't go around saying things about abandoning the lives
   of people to be saved...... so lightly.
== LIPS 9.9 End ==

Evian: Go, quickly!  As for Grand Mere...... I'm counting on you.

Ogami: Yes.  I'll protect her, without fail.

Evian: And...... give my regards to Miss Saphir as well.

Ogami: I've got my hands full with that Inspector Evian too.  ......All 
   right, I guess I'll get back to the patrol.

Grand Mere: Monsieur, how is it...... how do things look in the city?

Ogami: Yes, the evacuation of the citizens appears to be about finished.

Jean: ......So Paris, that was once so bustling, has become quiet too.
   Somehow, it's like a whole different city.

Grand Mere: You're right......  I doubt there's ever been a day this quiet in
   the history of Paris.

   Monsieur......  This alone I want you not to forget.

   Buildings and cities can be rebuilt if they've been destroyed.  But the
   same doesn't hold for people's hearts.

   Especially...... the scars of a heart that's lost its loved ones......
   That stays with you, you know...... for a long time.

Jean: Captain, I'm counting on you too.  Don't make the people of Paris 
   suffer...... any further.

Ogami: Manager......  Squad Leader Jean......

Grand Mere+: Hm, that's right, isn't it......  How unlike me, getting all
   faint of heart.

Jean+: The future, huh......  That's just big talk, but hearing it from your
   mouth, I end up feeling at ease.

-- Option 2 - Please relax and leave it to me. --
Ogami: Please relax and leave it to me.  I will take back the sanctity of 
   this Paris without fail.

Jean+: We can't leave it entirely to you.  You need us, the mechanics squad,
   for the Koubu F2 adjustments!

Grand Mere+: Monsieur......  And here only a little while ago you were a 
   child - now you've grown into a real adult.
== LIPS 9.10 End ==

Grand Mere: ......I'm counting on you to take care of those girls too.  
   Though they may act tough, they're still children......  I'm sure they
   must be uneasy.

   Let them know that you're at their side.

Ogami: Manager......

Grand Mere: Now then, that's enough talk.  Monsieur, go patrol around for a
   little longer.

Jean: As for the Koubu F2, I'll take responsiblity for them and make the
   right adjustments on them, so you go off at ease.

Ogami: Yes.  Well then, I'm off to see the evacuation situation.

   ......All right, I guess I'll return to the patrol.

   Hm?  It seems like there's a person in the Embassy.  Is someone there?

   Is someone there!?!  If you're there, please reply!!

Sakomizu: Owow......  Ogami, huh......  Don't make such a loud voice.  You
   startled me, didn't you.

Ogami: Ambassador Sakomizu......  You haven't evacuated yet?

Sakomizu: Well...... I've still got to sort these documents, you know.  
   Hahaha...... overtime work.

Ogami: What are you saying!?  Ambassador, please evacuate quickly.  This 
   place is dangerous!

Sakomizu: To hear me say such a thing, you may laugh, Ogami, but, I'm
   scared......

   When I think about what might happen if we're unable to protect
   Paris......

Ogami: Ambassador Sakomizu......

Sakomizu+: I see...... I'm counting on you.  You wouldn't be telling me a lie
   with those words, after all.

-- Option 2 - Ambassador!  That's pitiful!! --
Ogami: Ambassador!  That's pitiful!!  As a member of the Paris Floral Assault
   Squad, please remain firm!!

   If you don't, we can't possibly fight at ease!!

Sakomizu+: I see......  You're right......  I was wrong.  Ogami, thank 
   you......

-- Option 3 - ......Please give up. --
Ogami: ......Please give up.  We may lose...... this battle.

Sakomizu-: D- don't say...... such things, Ogami.  It troubles me.
== LIPS 9.11 End ==

Sakomizu: I'll...... stay here a little longer.  Ogami, you return to your
   duty.

Ogami: Once the battle's begun, please head to an evacuation area or the
   Chattes Noires basement.

Sakomizu: Yeah, I understand......  I don't have a life I'm going to give up
   wastefully.  Now, go!

Ogami: Understood!  Ambassador, you take care as well!!

   It looks like all that's left is the Ambassador.  ......All right, I guess
   I'll get back to the patrol.

   been issued!?

Tarebou: My, Ogami.  Haven't you heard the evacuation order?

Ogami: Miss Tarebou, what are you doing yourself?  Aren't you going to
   evacuate?

Tarebou: ......The young mistress is about to fight placing her life on the
   line for a great duty.

   In which case, my duty is to defend the mansion so that the young mistress
   may be able to return to it!

Ogami: Still...... this place is dangerous.  Please evacuate at once.

Tarebou: I cannot listen to this!  By the honor of the House of Bleumer, I
   will not move from here!!

Tarebou+: ......That may be so.  The young mistress...... is a gentle person,
   after all......

-- Option 2 - That's the epitome of a maid for you. --
Ogami: That's the epitome of a maid for you.  I think that's magnificent.

Tarebou+: You do understand, don't you.  That alone is what shows you have
   served as a maid at the House of Bleumer.

Ogami: However...... I think Glycine would be more worried about you, Miss
   Tarebou, rather than the mansion.

-- Option 3 - Enough already, please evacuate. --
Ogami: Enough already, please evacuate.  The mansion doesn't matter, does 
   it!?

Tarebou-: This is a problem for this house.  I would like you, Ogami, who has
   nothing to do with this, not to meddle with our affairs.

Ogami: However...... I think Glycine would be more worried about you, Miss
   Tarebou, rather than the mansion.
== LIPS 9.12 End ==

Ogami: Miss Tarebou......  The mansion, or Glycine......  Please think about 
   which is more important.

Tarebou: What I am serving is the young mistress and not the mansion.  That
   is what you mean, isn't it.

   ......Ogami.  As a maid, I nearly made a mistake.

Ogami: Yes.  So you do understand.

Tarebou: I shall head to an evacuation area.  Ogami...... I'm counting on you
   to take care of the young mistress.

Ogami: Yes, I understand.  I will defend her without fail.

   Now, everyone in this area should have finished evacuating.

   Now then, I guess I'll go patrol someplace else.

Leno: Mr. Ogami...... what's the matter?  You've got a rather frightening
   face, yes.

Ogami: Father Leno!?  What are you doing?  An evacuation order's been issued!

Leno: I realize that, yes.  But...... as a result of this earthquake, there
   will surely be people who lose their families or their homes.

   For the sake of those such people, I must keep the church open, yes.

Ogami: But still...... if you're hurt, Father, then you'll be worse off than
   you started.

Leno: Please keep this in mind......  All people are not strong like you, Mr.
   Ogami.

   hearts......  Do you understand, yes?

   ......Um, might it be all right for me to continue to pray at this
   church for just a little longer?

-- Option 3 - ......Even if you have to abandon others, you must evacuate! --
Ogami: ......Even if you have to abandon others, you must evacuate!  Please
   evacuate at once.

Leno-: ......That alone I cannot do.  As a priest...... such an action cannot
   be taken, yes.
== LIPS 9.13 End ==

Ogami: ......Father Leno, please evacuate as soon as possible.

Leno: Mr. Ogami, you should please evacuate to a safe place yourself.

   An incoming transmission on my portable kinematron!?  Has something
   happened?

   (In order to cut off the transmission on my portable kinematron......
   I believe it was the blue button in my hand)

Portable kinematron: An abnormality has appeared at the Notre Dame.  Use
   caution.

Ogami: An abnormality at the Notre Dame?  What's the meaning of this!?!  Have
   the kaijin begun to move!?

   Is that the bell chimes of Notre Dame!?  What...... what's about to 
   happen!?!

Calmar: Hohhohoho......  That just now was no more than a mere side show.

Leon: Th- then...... you meant to say the offensive power of Obscur still has
   yet to increase!?

Calmar: Indeed......  With the next attack, the city of Paris itself will
   evaporate.

Leon: But Lord Calmar!  When are your plans to carry out the next attack!?!

Calmar: It does take time until enough mystical energy is absorbed for the
   next attack.  ......It will be sunrise tomorrow.

   Leon, buy us some time until sunrise tomorrow...... so that those 
   youngsters do not interfere.

Leon: The Paris Floral Assault Squad...... you mean.

Mell: As a result of the attack by the enemy's aerial cannon, four regions
   within the city of Paris have been utterly destroyed!!

Ci: Evacuation was complete in each area, so it looks like no one was hurt.

Grand Mere: ......That's the damage situation.

Ogami: The fact that no one was hurt is our only salvation, huh......

Glycine: However, we cannot let our guard down.  We must not allow them to do
   as they please any further.

Coquelicot: But still......  When they've got such an incredible weapon, why
   do you suppose they didn't attack here?

Grand Mere: This Chattes Noires here has had its spiritual barrier
   strengthened, using the lesson we learned in the previous attack.

Hanabi: Is that so...... *sigh*.

Lobelia: This is no time to be relaxing, is it?  Even if Chattes Noires is
   safe, the rest of Paris will be annihilated.

   kaijin in two!!

Lobelia+: Heheheh, I wouldn't have it any other way.  I'll really be able to
   splurge on this bonus.

??????: What are you saying!?  Have you gathered your information!?

-- Option 2 - First we need to gather information! --
Ogami: First we need to gather information!  In all battles, information is
   essential to fighting!

Coquelicot+: That's right!  It's reckless to charge into an enemy you know
   nothing about!

Hanabi+: Since ages past, those who control the information have conquered in
   battle.  Mr. Ogami, you're wonderful...... *sigh*.

??????: That's right!!  Gathering information is very important!!  So you do
   understand.

-- Option 3 - ......Let's evacuate too. --
Ogami: ......Let's evacuate too.  It's dangerous to stay in Chattes Noires
   forever!

Erica-: Mr. Ogami, what are you saying!?  If we don't fight, who will defend
   this Paris!?

Glycine-: I had no idea you were so cowardly......  I'm disappointed in you!

Hanabi-: And here I thought you, of all people, Mr. Ogami...... would cheer
   everyone up......

??????: It's still early yet to be giving up!  Have you gathered your
   information!?
-- Option 3 (after waiting) - Let's pray to God! --
Ogami: Let's pray to God!  They say "in times of hardship, you should rely
   on God," don't they.

Erica+: That's right!!  God would surely save us!!

Hanabi-: Mr. Ogami......  In this situation, would that not be "exhaust all
   human affairs and wait for God's will?"

   greetings.  Let's get right to the main problem.

-- Option 3 - Who might you be again......? --
Ogami: Err......  Who might you be again......?

Orihime: Oh my God de~su!!  Japanese men sure are intense about forgetting
   things!

Reni: Captain, are you serious when you say that?  ......If you are suffering
   from memory loss, you should undergo a proper examination.

   about you......  The Red Nobles.

Orihime: Hmm......  So you're Glycine?  The person from the Bleumer family.

Ogami: Orihime, did you come here to pick a fight?  That just now was a rude
   manner of speaking.

Orihime: ......I was just fooling around.  That's a noble-style greeting.

Glycine+: ......Well, fine.  In deference to the Captain, I shall accept it
   as a greeting.

Ogami: ......By the way, Orihime, what are you doing at Chattes Noires?

Grand Mere: I've called these two.  I've told them to come here and had them
   gather information for me.

   Sorry to be so sudden, but could you tell us the information about the
   kaijin?

Orihime: The weapon that attacked Paris during the day is apparently the
   aerial cannon Obscur.

   What's more, that aerial cannon will make a general attack on Paris
   tomorrow at sunrise.

Glycine: What!?  Is that true?

Reni: ......If that attack is allowed to be carried out, Paris will be
   destroyed.

Lobelia: Destroyed, huh......  Just as I thought.

Ogami: So we have to destroy that aerial cannon before sunrise tomorrow......

Erica: ......Still, how did you acquire such important information?

Orihime: Reni watched the kaijin's conversation with binoculars.  Those 
   kaijin sure have their defenses down.

Ogami: Watched their conversation......?  What do you mean?

Reni: ......I used lip-reading.  It's not difficult.

Coquelicot: Lip-reading?  Hey, Ichiro, what's that?

Ogami: Lip-reading is......

Ogami: Reading the contents of a conversation by the lip movements.  You can
   learn what someone's talking about when they're far away.

Coquelicot+: Heh, is that so?  Ichiro, you really are knowledgeable!

-- Option 2 - Reading a book with your lips. --
Ogami: It's reading a book with your lips.  See, if you do this, you can read
   even in dark places.

Reni: ......That's wrong.  Lip-reading is a method of reading words from the
   movements of another person's lips.

Coquelicot-: Ichiro, you liar.  If you lie again next time, you're going to
   get punished!

-- Option 3 - A way of living without getting married. --
Ogami: It's a way of living without getting married.  See, people who aren't
   married are called "single."{2}

Orihime: That's "bachelorhood" (Ɛgp)!  The "lip-reading" (ǐOp) Reni's
   talking about is a method of reading words through the movement of lips!!

   Japanese men are so unknowledgeable, it's a real problem!

   information!!

Ogami: That's dangerous!  The enemy's home base is over there!!

Reni: There is no second chance in this battle.  We have to know where the
   kaijin are......  Accurate information is necessary.

Erica: What if...... you're found by Calmar?

Reni: ......There's no need for such worry.  All that's necessary is

Ogami: Understood......  Orihime, Reni, I'll be counting on you with the
   reconnaissance mission.
== LIPS 9.18 End ==

Orihime: Yes sir!  Please leave it to us!!

Reni: Yes, sir.

Ogami: Once your information has arrived, we'll commence the general 
   offensive against the island of Cite.  Everyone, rest up for the battle.

Paris Floral Assault Squad: Yes, sir!!

Orihime: Well then, Mr. Lieutenant, once we're ready we'll be heading for the
   island of Cite.

Reni: ......I'm going to go look for anything that might seem useful in the
   equipment room.

Orihime: I'll be taking a break in the dressing room.  Ciao, Mr. Lieutenant.

Ogami: I'm counting on you.  Both of you, don't neglect your preparations.

   ......Mell, what's the scheduled time for tomorrow's sunrise?

Mell: 5:32 A.M.  Approximately thirteen hours from now.

Ogami: (Thirteen hours left, huh......)

== Prompt 9.1 Start ==
-- Option 1 - Go see how Orihime's doing. --
-- Option 2 - Go see how Reni's doing. --
-- Option 3 - Take a nap. --
==
-- Option 1 - Go see how Orihime's doing. --
Ogami: Orihime said she'd be taking a break in the dressing room......

   I'd like to talk with her a little, so I guess I'll try going.

* * *

Ogami: Everyone, what are you doing, dancing around in the dressing room?

Orihime: Ahh, Mr. Lieutenant.  You've come at just the right time.  Would you
   care to join us?

Glycine: Orihime told us she would teach us a traditional Japanese dance.

Hanabi: Yes, that's right.  And so, Glycine and I have been learning it
   together.

Ogami: But...... it seems to be a rather strange dance - what's the dance
   called?

Orihime: How rude of you to call it a strange dance.  This is a very proper
   dance called the 'Tenteko-mai.'{3}

Hanabi: Yes, I've read about the 'Tenteko-mai' in a book myself.  So this is
   the sort of dance it was.

   Mr. Orihime is simply so knowledgeable about Japan...... I've really come
   to admire her.

Glycine: Captain, how about you too?  It's a rather interesting dance.

== LIPS 9.19 Start ==
-- Option 1 - No...... I'll pass. --
-- Option 2 - The tenteko-mai isn't a dance. --
-- Option 3 - You're right, perhaps you could teach me too. --
-- Option 3 (after waiting) - I'll teach you the right way to dance!! --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - No...... I'll pass. --
Ogami: No...... I'll pass.  I...... don't think I could dance it.

Orihime: That would be true, after all.  There is no such dance as the
   tenteko-mai, after all.

-- Option 2 - The tenteko-mai isn't a dance. --
Ogami: The tenteko-mai isn't a dance.  It's an expression that indicates the
   idea of being 'busy.'

Orihime: Ah-ah...... Mr. Lieutenant, you gave it away.  And here it was so
   interesting.

-- Option 3 - You're right, perhaps you could teach me too. --
Ogami: You're right, perhaps you could teach me too.  I didn't know the
   tenteko-mai was a dance.

Glycine+: In that case, I'll teach you.  First, extend your arm all the way
   out in front of you.

Orihime: Ah~ah, Mr. Lieutenant, what are you doing being deceived too!  That
   bit about the tenteko-mai was a lie!!

   The tenteko-mai isn't a dance, it's a word that means "busy"!!

-- Option 3 (after waiting) - I'll teach you the right way to dance!! --
Ogami: I'll teach you the right way to dance!  Despite appearances, when it
   comes to the tenteko-mai, I'm rather boisterous.

Hanabi+: Thank you so much.  To have you teach us, Mr. Ogami, it's like a
   dream.

Orihime: Mr. Lieutenant, what are you doing tricking them too!?

   The tenteko-mai isn't a dance, it's a word that means "busy"!!
== LIPS 9.19 End ==

Glycine: Orihime, prostrate yourself before me right there!!  Do not think
   that I would allow you to deceive me, Glycine!!

Hanabi: Glycine!  There's no need to get that angry.

Orihime: Oh no!  Please do something about this Bleumer girl.  I'm so scared.

Glycine: What are you saying!?!  What this woman is guilty of is worthy of
   death!!

   Captain, hand her over to me!  If you are the Captain of the Paris Floral
   Assault Squad, you should not be able to refuse!!

Orihime: Hmph!  Sorry.  Mr. Lieutenant is the Captain of the Imperial Floral
   Assault Squad.

   Let's leave this fool behind and go someplace quiet.  Come on, Mr.
   Lieutenant.

Glycine: Wait, Orihime!!  Do you mean to escape!?

Orihime: Ahh, that was fun.  Every once in a while something like this is
   pretty nice too.

Ogami: ......Orihime.  No one will admire you for playing around fooling
   people.

Orihime: I'm sorry......  It looks like I was fooling around just a little
   too much, huh......

   It was just no fun seeing you get along so well with those people, Mr.
   Lieutenant......

Ogami: Orihime......  Right now, I may be the captain of the Paris Floral
   Assault Squad, but I haven't forgotten all of you.

   Now come on, apologize to Glycine and the others.

Glycine: All right, I understand!!  I'll be right back!

Ogami: Whew......  Now Glycine should be able to get along with Orihime too.

   ......Now then, I guess I'll be going elsewhere now.

{Return to the beginning of prompt 9.1, sans the first option.}

-- Option 2 - Go see how Reni's doing. --
Ogami: Reni said she'd be in the equipment room, making preparations to
   infiltrate the island of Cite......

   I guess I'll go take a look......  I'd like to talk with her a little,
   after all.

Reni: Captain......  What's the matter?

Ogami: I just got curious about you, Reni.  So I thought I'd come see how you
   were doing.

Erica: Reni!!  Where should I put this rope?

Reni: ......In this pouch.  Bundle it up tight.

Coquelicot: Well, then, how about this flashlight?  Is it all right if I put
   it into the pouch along with it?

Reni: ......That goes in this bag.  Put it on the very top so that it's easy
   to get out.

Ogami: So all of you are helping too.  Thanks for your hard work.

Lobelia: How about you don't just stand there and help too?  Come on, get to 
   it already.

== LIPS 9.20 Start ==
-- Option 1 - All right, I'll help too. --
-- Option 2 - I'm not feeling too well around the hips...... --
-- Option 3 (after waiting) - Lo- Lobelia, you're helping too!? --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - All right, I'll help too. --
Ogami: All right, I'll help too.  What should I do?

Reni: ......Now, if I just get a hand mirror, all my preparations will be
   complete.

Erica+: Mr. Ogami, you're going to help too!?  Now we'll have enough for half
   a man!!

Coquelicot: If you're going to say that, it's "the strength of a hundred 
   men."  Ichiro, there's a hand mirror over there.  Let's go get it 
   together!

Erica: Ohh......  Coquelicot, you meanie......

-- Option 2 - I'm not feeling too well around the hips...... --
Ogami: I'm not feeling too well around the hips......  Could we maybe make it
   next time?

Lobelia: Hah?  Quit complaining and get to work!  Is it because you're an
   idiot?

   Here, go get a hand mirror from somewhere.  She said that would be the
   last.

Coquelicot: Ichiro, if you're looking for a hand mirror, there's one over
   there.  Come on, let's go get it together!

-- Option 3 (after waiting) - Lo- Lobelia, you're helping too!? --
Ogami: Lo- Lobelia, you're helping too?  What's happened?  Did you eat
   something bad?

Lobelia: You don't need to worry about me.  Get to work already!!

Coquelicot: Lobelia, you see...... lost in a contest with Reni, so she was
   made to work.

Reni: ......You've got talent.  But you make too many wasted movements.

Lobelia: First Maria...... now this one......  They're all too good......
   Honestly.
== LIPS 9.20 End ==

Coquelicot: Hey, Ichiro......  Is Reni angry, I wonder?  She doesn't smile,
   after all.

Ogami: I don't think that's true.  Reni's always like that.  Now then, shall
   we find that hand mirror?

Coquelicot: You're right.  It was right around here, but......  Let's 
   see...... where is it, I wonder.

   Ah, here it is, here it is!!  Here, Ichiro, bring this to Reni!

Ogami: Yeah, you're right.  Thanks, Coquelicot.  Now, shall we go back to the
   equipment room?

   Reni, will this hand mirror do?

Reni: Yeah......  Put it in that bag.  Now my preparations are complete.

   ......I appreciate your cooperation.  I was able to cut down preparation
   time far more than I expected.

   Um......  Captain, you too......

   Well...... thank you.

Ogami: Hahaha, you're welcome.  I'm glad I could be of help to you, Reni.

Erica: Waah!!  Reni's smiling face is very cute, isn't it!!

Coquelicot: You're right!!  She's always making this sort of face, so I 
   thought she might be a boy!

Lobelia: Heh......  That's quite the spirit.  I got to see something nice.

Reni: ......Ah...... well.......

   Um...... Captain......  Come over here for a second.  I have something to
   talk with you about.

Ogami: Yeah, all right.  What's the matter, Reni?

Reni: Captain......  In this coming battle...... you absolutely must not let
   your guard down.  That enemy is far too dangerous.

   Orihime acts tough in front of the Paris Floral Assault Squad, but she's
   rather worried.

Ogami: I understand, Reni.  We can't afford to lose a second time.

Reni: Right now...... this is all I can say, but...... do your best......

   ......Well, see you, Captain.  I'm going to go double-check my
   preparations, so......

Ogami: So Reni's worried too, huh......  We can't let our guard down in the
   next battle.

{Return to the beginning of prompt 9.1, sans the second option.}

== Prompt 9.1 End ==

Ogami: Now then, I guess I'll take a little nap in preparation for the
   battle......

* * *

Ogami: (I guess I'll take a nap......  Right now it would be best to get at
   least a little rest.)

   Mell...... I'm sorry, but if a report comes in from those two, wake me
   up.

Mell: Understood.  Please leave it to me.

Ogami: ......I guess I'll rest my self a little......

* * *

??????: ......It seems like nothing I say anymore will help......

Ogami: ......Y- you're-!?  What are you saying!?!

??????: Back then...... if you had only not lost your way......

Ogami: What do you mean!?!  Hey, wait!


   Yamero!  YAMERU N DAA!!
   Stop!  STOP IT!!

   Stooooop!!

* * *

Mell: What's happened!?  Mr. Ogami......

Ogami: ......Mell?  Ah...... it- it was a dream, huh......

Mell: Are you all right......?  You're sweating...... incredibly.

Ogami: I had a terrible dream......  Has there been any message from Orihime
   and Reni?

Ci: Not yet.  And here there are only four hours left until daybreak.

Ogami: I see......

Grand Mere: Monsieur......  I need to talk with you - is that all right?

Ogami: Yes.  What might it be?

Grand Mere: The time for the decisive battle is finally near.  And so......
   I'd like you to choose a Vice-Captain from among those girls.

Ogami: A Vice-Captain...... you say?

Grand Mere: Yeah - this coming battle will be intense.  I think a 
   Vice-Captain to counsel you, as Captain, is necessary.

   And...... though I don't want to say it, there is the possibility of the
   worst case situation, where you may fall defeated.

Ogami: ......You're right.

Grand Mere: You can choose from among these three.  They're the girls who
   trust you the very most.

{At this point, Grand Mere will say the names of the three Paris 
Flower-Division members who trust you the most.}

Grand Mere: Who gets made into the Vice Captain, Monsieur, I leave up to you.

   You should choose the girl who you think you want to defend this Paris
   together with.  Do you understand, Monsieur?

== LIPS 9.21 Start ==
-- Option 1 - Yes, I understand. --
-- Option 2 - It'd be impossible for me. --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - Yes, I understand. --
Ogami: Yes, I understand.  Please leave it to me.

Grand Mere+: Sorry......  You're the only one I can rely on for this.

-- Option 2 - It'd be impossible for me. --
Ogami: It'd be impossible for me.  Designating the Vice-Captain......  The
   burden is too great.

Grand Mere: It has to be you.  After all...... she'll be your partner, 
   Monsieur.

-- Time Over --
Ogami: ............

Grand Mere: I'm counting on you.  If you've made the decision, those girls
   will go along with it, I'm sure.
== LIPS 9.21 End ==

Grand Mere: And what's more......  I want you to tell only the one you've 
   selected as Vice-Captain......

   Monsieur, eventually...... you're going to be returning to Teito.

   Monsieur, after you've returned to Teito, that girl will be designated as
   the one responsible for the Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division.

Ogami: So the day will come when I must part from this Paris, after all......
   is what you're saying.

   Understood.  I will designate the squad member whom I myself can trust the
   most as Vice-Captain.

Grand Mere: And...... you tell the one yourself, Monsieur.  ......I'm 
   counting on you.

Ogami: The Vice-Captain, huh......  I wonder who I should choose......

== Double-LIPS 9.1 Start ==
{At this point you will have to choose which of the three you want to be your
Vice-Captain.  Each time you click on a picture of a Flower-Division member,
Ogami will ask if it's all right to go with her as the Vice-Captain.  A 
prompt will appear; choosing the top option will make that member the
Vice-Captain, while the bottom option will allow you to think for a little
longer.}

~~ If time runs out without you picking a Vice-Captain ~~
Ogami: It's no good......  I can't choose just one of them.

Mell: Mr. Ogami......  Please remember what the owner said.

Ci: I think the owner wanted to say that you should choose the one you feel
   you'd like to be with.

Ogami: The one I feel I'd like to be with......  ......I understand.  I'll
   try choosing once more.

{Return to the beginning of Double-LIPS 9.1}
== Double-LIPS 9.1 End ==

Ogami: All right, I guess I'll go to tell that I've made my decision about
   the Vice-Captain.

~~ If you chose Erica Start ~~
Erica: Miss Mell, Miss Ci.  Have you received a message from those two yet?

Ogami: Erica, huh......  You've come at just the right time.  ......I've got
   a little something I want to talk with you about.

Erica: With me...... you say?

* * *

Erica: ......So, Mr. Ogami.  What is it you wanted to talk about?

Ogami: The fact is......  I want to designate you as Vice-Captain of the
   Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division.

Erica: Heh!?  Vice-Captain?  Me!?  A- are you serious?

Ogami: Of course I'm serious.  You're the only one with whom I can entrust 
   this duty.

Erica: Th- that's unkind.  After all...... I'm clumsy...... and prone to
   making mistakes......

Ogami: Erica, your smile has the charm to make everyone as one.  That smile
   itself is what's important.

Erica: B- but......  What if I cause trouble for everyone again......?

Ogami: You're the one I trust most.  Erica......  Be my partner.

Erica: Mr. Ogami's...... partner......

+  Understood!  In my duties as Vice-Captain, I'll do my best!!

   But, to think I would become your partner, Mr. Ogami, it's a little
   surprising.

   Um......  From here on, I'll be at your side as your Vice-Captain, 
   so...... please watch over me for a long time.

Ogami: (For a long time, huh......  Erica......  I...... will have to return
   to Teito, eventually......)

   (Can I, right now...... respond to Erica's feelings......?)

Ogami: I understand, I'll be at your side for a long time.  I promise, Erica.

Erica+: I'm so happy, Mr. Ogami.  I'll...... do my best.

Erica: I've...... always liked you, Mr. Ogami.

   Perhaps...... since the time we first met......

Ogami: Erica......

Erica: That's why...... when you chose me to be your partner...... I was so
   happy......

   I'll stay with you forever, Mr. Ogami.  Therefore......

   Mr. Ogami, please take care of me, too.

Ogami: Yeah...... I understand.

Erica: Eheheheh......  I said it......

Ogami: ......Shall we go inside now?  A message might have come in from 
   Orihime and Reni.
== LIPS 9.22 End ==

Ogami: An incoming transmission on my portable kinematron!?  Has something
   happened?

   (In order to cut off a transmission on the portable kinematron...... I
   believe it was the blue button in my hand.)

Portable kinematron: There is a message from Orihime.  Return to the battle
   plan control room at once.

Erica: Mr. Ogami, has something happened!?

Ogami: It seems there's been a message from Orihime and Reni.  Let's return 
   to the battle plan control room!

Erica: Yes, sir!!

{Now go down to == After choosing your Vice-Captain ==.}
~~ If you chose Erica End ~~

~~ If you chose Glycine Start ~~
Glycine: Mell, Ci.  Hasn't there been any word from the reconnaissance squad
   yet?

Ogami: Glycine......  You've come at just the right time.  ......I've got
   a little something I want to talk with you about.

Glycine: You want to talk with me...... you say?

* * *

Glycine: ......Well, Captain.  If you need to talk, I beg of you to make it
   short.

Ogami: The fact is......  I want to designate you as Vice-Captain of the
   Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division.

Glycine: Hoh...... Vice-Captain, eh.  Certainly, there would be no other
   able to carry out such an important role.

Ogami: Yes, you're the one I trust the most, Glycine.  I want you to be my
   partner.

Glycine+: Your partner, huh......  I undrestand.  I accept my duty as
   Vice-Captain.

Ogami: I'm counting on you, Glycine.

Glycine: But, now, at this point, there's something I don't know about.
   That's...... you.

   The House of Bleumer was born in northern Europe, and as foreigners raised
   in France, we are not truly acknowledged.

   As a result, I am fighting in order to have the House of Bleumer 
   acknowledged in the world of French nobility.

   However, there is nothing here to tie you with this France.  ......For 
   what purpose do you fight?

Ogami: That's......

Glycine: No...... right now I won't ask.  There's time, so take your
   time to tell me, Captain.

Ogami: (There's time, huh......  Glycine......  I...... will have to return
   to Teito, eventually......)

   (Can I, right now...... respond to Coquelicot's feelings......?)

-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 2 - ......That, I can't do. --
Ogami: ......That, I can't do.  I...... will have to return to Teito someday.

   The reason I've made you Vice-Captain, Glycine, is that after I've
   returned to Teito......  I want to leave the Paris Floral Assault Squad to
   you.

Glycine: ......It's been decided?

Ogami: Yes......  Though I don't know when I'll be leaving Paris......

Glycine: Is that how it was......

   Someday...... I had been thinking of making you my husband......

Ogami: Eh!?

Glycine: I felt that a man like you was truly suited for the Bleumer family's
   "completely flawless bridegroom"......

   And what's more...... I personally feel about you that......

Ogami: Glycine......

Glycine: ......Forgive me.  That was a shameful act as a Vice-Captain.

Ogami: No......

Glycine: You...... for me, were a foreigner for only a short time......

Ogami: I'm sorry......

Coquelicot: Hm?  You want to talk with me......?  What is it, what is it?

Coquelicot: Hey, Ichiro.  What is it you wanted to talk about?

Ogami: The fact is......  I want to designate you as Vice-Captain of the
   Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division.

Coquelicot: Eeh!?  M- me, as the Paris Flower-Division Vice-Captain!?

   Th- that's unreasonable!!  Everyone would clearly be against it, saying 
   I'm a child!!

Ogami: That's not true, Coquelicot.  You know what it's like to be hurt,
   right in your heart, so you know true kindess.

   And what's more, you're the one I trust the most, Coquelicot.  Are you
   against being my partner?

Coquelicot+: Ichiro's partner, huh......  ......All right, I got it.  In that
   case, I'll try taking it on.

Ogami: Thanks, Coquelicot.

Coquelicot: Ichiro's the Captain, and I'm Vice-Captain.  Eheheh......  It
   kind of makes me blush.

   Say, Ichiro...... let's stay together for a real, real long time, forever
   and ever!

   Say, Ichiro...... do you remember?  When we first met...... we gathered
   up vegetables at the marketplace.

Ogami: Yeah, I remember.  It was pretty tough, though.

Coquelicot: Back then...... Ichiro, you helped, without making an upset face.

   Without trying to fool me because I was a child.

Ogami: Of course.  Just because you're a child has nothing to do with it.

Coquelicot: That made me feel so happy...... that I thought, you really were
   a warm person, Ichiro......

Ogami: Coquelicot......

Coquelicot: Say, let's go to the control room.  It's gotten kind of cold out
   here.

Ogami: You're right......  Shall we get going then?

-- Option 2 - ......That, I can't do. --
Ogami: ......That, I can't do.  I...... will have to return to Teito someday.

   The reason I've made you Vice-Captain, Coquelicot, is that after I've
   returned to Teito......  I want to leave the Paris Floral Assault Squad to
   you.

Coquelicot: I- is that true?  You're lying...... right?

Ogami: I'm sorry, Coquelicot......

Coquelicot: So that's how it is......

Ogami: I'm sorry, Coquelicot.  I didn't intend to make you sad.

Coquelicot: No...... it's all right.  I won't...... say anything selfish.

Ogami: Coquelicot......

Coquelicot: I won't tell you not to go back to Tokyo......  I won't say
   anything selfish, so......

   Don't hate...... me......  Come on, promise me...... Ichiro.

Ogami: Yes, of course.  There's no way I'd ever come to hate you, Coquelicot.

Coquelicot: Yeah...... thanks, Ichiro.  Ah, that's right.  Ichiro, did you 
   know?

Orihime: I'm doing it right now!  You just need to make sure this position is
   safe!!

Reni: We won't be able to hold out here for very long......  Do it quickly.

Orihime: You're so fussy.  Let's see......  It's okay!!

   This is Orihime!!  We've identified the enemy's hideout!

   The enemy's hideout is immediately underneath the temple Notre Dame!  
   There's a base of operations underground!!

Ogami: Understood!  We're going to rescue Orihime and Reni from Notre Dame at
   once!!

Reni: ......That can't be done.  In order to expand our advantages in this
   battle plan, greater information is necessary......

Orihime: We are the Imperial Floral Assault Squad!!  You have nothing to

Reni: Ending transmission......

Erica: Mr. Ogami......  Will Miss Orihime and Reni be all right?

Ogami: Right now, all we can do is trust those two......

Grand Mere: This has made our attack objective clear.  Carry out the 
   operation.

Mell: There is only one hour until sunrise.  Please hurry the preparations
   to move out.

Grand Mere: But, before that, I have something I want to tell all of you.

Lobelia: Let's get this taken care of quickly so I can get my bonus.

Leon: Hmhm......  To think you go out of your way to show up here.  However,
   you will soon regret that reckless action......

Ogami: Leon!

   What are you talking about!?

   Reni!  Orihime!!

Leon: This is a little side show - the destruction of Paris.  Burn the image
   of your dear dying friends well into those eyes of yours!

Ogami: Sorry...... you two.  We'll rescue you without fail......

Leon: Hahahah......  Do you think I would let you?  You are like rabbits
   caught in a trap!!

Erica: Th- this wall......  What incredible mystical energy......!?

Lobelia: Boy, oh boy......  So we're trapped inside.

Leon: We shall let you see the awakening form of the aerial cannon Obscur
   right there from the honored guest seats in which you sit!!

   Though that moment will become your last, of course......  Haahhahhahhah!!

Glycine: Don't screw around with us!  We'll knock down such a barrier in no
   time at all!

Leon: Hmph, then try it.  Any who touch that barrier will die instantly......
   It can never be destroyed!

Orihime: Th- that's...... not true.  Mr. Lieutenant......  Can you...... hear
   me......?

Leon: Wh- what!?!  You can still speak!?

Ogami: Yeah, I can hear you!!  Hang in there, Orihime!

Reni: ......The barrier's weak point is its supporting posts.

   If you attack just as the light passes through the support...... you'll be
   able to destroy it.

Ogami: So we attack the support posts when the light passes through 
   them......  I understand, thanks!

Orihime: Heheh......  I thought we were done for, but...... I'm glad...... we
   could be of use to you.

Leon: Hmph, meddling where you don't belong......  Die!!

Ogami: Orihime, Reni!!  Are you all right......!?  Hang in there!!

Leon: ......I've changed my mind.  I'll bury you without waiting for Obscur's
   revival!!

   Go, pawns!  Bury them while they cannot move!!

Ogami: Let's go, everyone!!  Let's destroy the barrier and rescue those two!

Paris Floral Assault Squad: Yes, sir!!

== Battle Start ==

~~ At the beginning of Ogami's second turn Start ~~
Ogami: It's an overwhelming-looking building......  So the enemy's hideout is
   in this Notre Dame cathedral......

Grand Mere: To think that the enemy would been hidden right in the middle of
   Paris like this......  I'm surprised too.

Mell: The mystical energy reading from the temple Notre Dame...... has
   increased!

Ci: At this rate, Obscur will show up again!

Grand Mere: However...... there's Leon, the barrier, Orihime and Reni......
   There's no situation more fraught with despair than this.

Ogami: ......It's all right.  We will stop it!  In order to defend this 
   Paris!!
~~ At the beginning of Ogami's second turn End ~~

~~ If Ogami's unit should be next to Erica's, and you chose her to be
   Vice-Captain Start ~~
Ogami: Erica, you really seem to be into it.

Erica: Eheheh, well, after all...... I'm the Vice-Captain!

   Everyone!  Please watch out for the enemy coming from around you as well!

   Ogami!

   All right...... Mr. Ogami, you take the front, and attack the Pawns!

Ogami: Eeh!?  I- I get ordered around too?

Erica: Naturally!  Mr. Ogami is the Captain, and I'm the Vice-Captain!!

Ogami: Th- that is true, though.  Tohoho......

Ogami: Coquelicot......  What are you so deep in thought for?

Coquelicot: Being Vice-Captain......  Just what should I do exactly......?

== LIPS 9.24 Start ==
-- Option 1 - Just keep going as you have been up to this point. --

   always supporting me, right?

Coquelicot+: What, is that what that means!  In that case, leave it to me!!
   I'll defend you, Ichiro.

Ogami: Hahaha.  I'm truly glad I picked you to be Vice-Captain, Coquelicot.

Coquelicot: I'll work my hardest to be able to be a real full-fledged
   Vice-Captain, soo, so please give me your guidance, Captain Ogami!!
== LIPS 9.24 End ==
~~ If Ogami's unit should be next to Coquelicot's, and you chose her to be

~~ At the beginning of Ogami's third turn Start ~~
Leon: So that is the new-model psycheon armor......  It appears to have 
   power, but it can make no move with the barrier!

Ogami: Just you wait...... Leon!  We'll destroy this barrier at once!!

Leon: Gahahahah!  I trust you have not forgotten these hostages!

   Shall I finish them off before Obscur awakens......?

Ogami: K-......  Isn't there any way we can save Orihime and Reni......?
~~ At the beginning of Ogami's third turn End ~~

~~ Once the barrier is destroyed ~~
Ogami: All right, the barrier's destroyed!  Everyone, let's rescue Orihime
   and Reni......!!

Leon: What about these ones?  Don't forget the fact that these two are still
   in my hands.

Ogami: K-......  That's cowardly!!  Fight fair and square!!

Leon: Ahahaha, fair and square you say?  What need is there for me to fight
   atop the same stage when taking on mere worms?

   All you can do right now is simply surrender and kneel before my feet!!

   Now, if you don't want those two killed, throw down your weapons, and you
   come here alone!

~~ If you chose Erica as your Vice-Captain Start ~~
Erica: You mustn't!  If we lose you too now, Mr. Ogami......

   Wh- what!?

Ogami: ......!?

Kayama: Yo, Ogami......  Sorry I'm late.

Ogami: Ka- Kayama......!?  Why are you here!?

Kayama: I'm so happy......  Appearing at the best part is what makes me the
   happiest......

Leon: Y- you fiend, who are you!?

Kayama: If you want to know, I'll tell you!!  I, the Imperial Floral Assault
   Squad, Moon-Division Captain...... Kayama Yuuichi, make my appearance 
   here!!

   Ogami, I'll evacuate these two to a safe place.  You go ahead and fight
   without any reservation!

Ogami: Kayama...... thanks.  I'm counting on you!

Leon: Uwoooooah!!  You pathetic humans!!  Putting on such a foolish show!!

Ogami: Prepare yourself, Leon!  Now the sides are even!!

Ogami: All right......  Let's go, everyone!  Our objective, the destruction
   of the giant steam beast!!

Paris Floral Assault Squad: Yes, sir!!

== Boss Battle Start ==

~~ After Leon is defeated ~~
Leon: Im...... Impossible......  Are you saying that even with this power of
   mine I cannot stop them......!?!

   Lord Calmar!!  With the power of Obscur, return Paris to ashes and dust!!

Ogami: If we stop the aerial cannon Obscur, this battle will be over!!
   Everyone, let's go!!

Ci: Mr. Ogami, please hurry!  There's no time left until daybreak!!

Mell: All the mystical energy throughout Paris is gathered underneath the
   temple Notre Dame!  It's already impossible to calculate!!

Ogami: There's no time!!  Everyone, let's hurry underground!

Paris Floral Assault Squad: Yes, sir!!

* * * * *

Calmar: What an incompetent dullard......  So he was only useful to buy time.
   However...... the mystical energy is already at its peak......

   Answer my summons from another world......  Being of destruction and
   slaughter that controls the darkness......  Awaken, Obscur!!

Ogami: Wait!  That's as far as you go!!

Calmar: Nuhahahaha......  You were faster than I expected.

   However, now only a little time is necessary until Obscur can complete its
   true awakening......

   Let us have a little contest...... to see whether you can stop me first,
   or whether Obscur's awakening will come first.

Ogami: A contest......!?

Calmar: Let us just see how much your skill is increased, you whose existence
   was like that of mere scraps of paper......

== LIPS 9.26 Start ==
-- Option 1 - As you wish! --
-- Option 2 - We're not the same as we were before! --
-- Time Over --
==
-- Option 1 - As you wish! --

~~ If you chose Erica to be Vice-Captain Start ~~
Erica+: That's right!  We won't lose to some squid any longer!!
~~ If you chose Erica to be Vice-Captain End ~~

-- Time Over --
Ogami: ......Words are unnecessary.  We will defeat you......  That is all.

~~ If you chose Coquelicot to be Vice-Captain Start ~~
Coquelicot+: That's right!  We absolutely will not lose any more!!
~~ If you chose Coquelicot to be Vice-Captain End ~~
== LIPS 9.26 End ==

Calmar: Nuhahahaha...... what wonderful jokes.  The image of a Paris turned 
   to charred rubble floats before my eyes......

   ......I've just thought of something good.  I'll show you ladies and
   gentlemen the shape of Paris you mean to defend once it's been destroyed.

== Eyecatch 9.3 ==

Erica: Ehh......!?  Wh- what is this place......!?

Coquelicot: Wh- when did we get outside!?

Calmar: Nuhahahaha......  Are you surprised?  I've transported the entire
   Obscur itself into the sky.

   Obscur needs only a little more mystical energy for its awakening......
   The time left for you ladies and gentlemen......

   Is until that bell chimes five times.  When the fifth chime resounds
   throughout Paris, everything spread out before your eyes will all 
   disappear.

Ogami: Th-...... the bell......!?

Calmar: Only four chimes left......  You don't have any time to waste, do 
   you?  Nuhahahaha......

Ogami: We won't let you do as you please!  Everyone...... we've got to stop
   Obscur no matter what it takes!!

Paris Floral Assault Squad: Yes, sir!!

== Boss Battle Start ==

~~ At the beginning of Calmar's first turn Start ~~
Mell: Symphonie's tentacles can grab the Koubu and make them unable to move!

Ci: If one's grabbed, its endurance level will be absorbed by the 
   electricity, so......

Mell: Please help someone else who's been caught by attacking!

Ogami: I see......  So if someone else attacks them, they can shake them off.
~~ At the beginning of Calmar's first turn End ~~

~~ After the bell chimes for the second time Start ~~
Ogami: The second chime!?  K-......  So there's only a little time left for
   us......
~~ After the bell chimes for the second time End ~~

~~ At the beginning of Erica's first turn after the second chime, if
   she is Vice-Captain Start ~~
Calmar: Paris is finished......  You know you will lose, so why...... do you
   still struggle!?

Erica: We...... absolutely will not give up!

   We will fight with our full power, until the moment the final bell
   tolls...... and we will defend Paris!

   Mr. Ogami has taught that to me.  That...... is the way the Paris Floral
   Assault Squad fights!!

Ogami: Erica......

Calmar: What a waste......  My Obscur shall lead you straight to hell!!

Erica: Let's go, Mr. Ogami......  This is the final battle!!
~~ At the beginning of Erica's first turn after the second chime, if
   she is Vice-Captain End ~~


~~ At the beginning of Coquelicot's first turn after the second chime, if
   she is Vice-Captain Start ~~
Calmar: Paris is finished......  You know you will lose, so why...... do you
   still struggle!?

Coquelicot: We won't lose!  We'll never lose to something like you!!

   We'll fight with our full strength until the time the final bell
   tolls...... and we'll protect everyone's smiles!

   Ichiro has so taught me!  That that...... is the way the Paris Floral
   Assault Squad fights!!

Ogami: Coquelicot......

Calmar: What a waste......  My Obscur shall lead you straight to hell!!

Coquelicot: Let's go, Ichiro!  This is the final battle!!
~~ At the beginning of Coquelicot's first turn after the second chime, if
   she is Vice-Captain End ~~

~~ After the bell chimes for the third time Start ~~
Calmar: Nuhahaha......  The third chime has rung.  The time for the 
   destruction of Paris...... is near!
~~ After the bell chimes for the third time End ~~

~~ After the bell chimes for the fourth time Start ~~
Hanabi: The fourth chime!?  Wh- what should we do......?

Ogami: K-......  Can we defeat him before the next bell tolls!?
~~ After the bell chimes for the fourth time End ~~

~~ After Calmar has been defeated ~~
Calmar: Kuoooh!  I won't acknowledge it!!  To think it was a mistake that I
   let all of you go that time...... I won't acknowledge it!!

Ogami: Give it up!!  Your Obscur will now only disappear!

Calmar: Save your prattle!!  The Obscur's mystical energy has already 
   surpassed its critical point!

   If it's come down to this, I'll take you ladies and gentlemen along with
   me!  I'll destroy Paris and Obscur along with it!!

Ogami: You think I'd let you!?!

   Guuh......!!  You think I'd give up having come this far!?

   Those feelings all of you have of wanting to save Paris...... give
   them...... to me!!

{Out of the following five lines, the one spoken by whomever you have chosen
as Vice-Captain will be said last.}

Erica: Send our feelings through!

Glycine: Captain, grab hold of victory!

Coquelicot: Ichiro, do it!!

Ogami: ............

   Calmar......  It's our win!

Calmar: This can't be - are you telling me that...... that I...... should be
   beaten by mere humans......!

   Nn - guh......  I can see it......  Paris engulfed in flames......
   Guoooooh......!!

Ogami: ......It's over.

* * *

Erica: We...... were able to defend Paris, weren't we.

Glycine: We've finally taken the perfect victory......  Even the 
   fatigue...... feels comfortable.

Coquelicot: Hey, hey, now all the people of the city will be able to come 
   back, right!?!

Hanabi: Mmhm, that's right.  Having been able to protect the city in which
   those people dear to us sleep...... I feel proud.

Lobelia: It's over, it's over.  Now then, I wonder how big a bonus I'll be
   able to get now.

Erica: What a lovely morning......  I feel this is the first time...... I've
   ever seen a sun so lovely.

* * *

Ogami: Now...... peace will return to Paris too.

Mell: Mr. Ogami!  You've done it!!

Ci: Eheheheheheh, we were worried about all of you, so we've come.

Ogami: Y- you two!?  What are you doing in a place like this?

Mell: We wanted to greet you all with smiles.  Despite appearances, we are
   members of the Paris Floral Assault Squad, after all.

Ogami: Thanks......  It looks like we really had you two worried.

Jean: Beating up my lovely Koubu like this.  Honestly, it's worth fixing them
   up!

Ogami: Sorry, Squad Leader Jean.  But, thanks to you, we were all able to
   come back alive.

Grand Mere: You guys......  You've really done well.

Ogami: Manager......  The Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division, has
   completed its duty.

Grand Mere: Thanks for your hard work......

Erica: Say, Mr. Ogami, all of us have gathered here, so let's do the usual
   thing!

Coquelicot: That's right!!  Ichiro, you give the yell!  That would be best!

Ogami: I- is that so......?

   along with me......?

Grand Mere: Monsieur, you really are still a child.  Mell, Ci, give him a
   hand.

Ci: Yes!  Please leave it to us!!  Mell, here we go!!

Mell: The black-haired noble young man who has brought light to Paris!!

Ci: The Paris Floral Assault Squad, Flower-Division, Captain!!  His name is
   Ogami Ichiro!

Ogami: All right, here we go!!

-- Time Over --
Lobelia: Hey, hey, wat are you keeping quiet for!?!  You sure have bad 
   timing.  Is it because you're an idiot?

Erica: Since you've taken the trouble to come, how about you do it, Grand
   Mere and the others?

Glycine: That might be nice every once in a while.  Mell, Ci, how about you
   two as well?

Ci: Really!?  Hyuu-hyuu!!  I'll do it too, me too!!

Mell: Um...... to tell the truth, I've always wanted to try it.  Would it be
   all right, owner?

Grand Mere: It's not a matter of whether it's all right or not.  You guys
   want to do it too, right?

   Well then, here we go.  Mell, Ci, are you ready?

   1...... 2...... 3......  Victory......

   Pose!!
== LIPS 9.27 End ==

Ogami: Victory......

All: Pose!!

Orihime: Mr. Kayama.  I wanted to do the victory pose too after so long.

Kayama: Now, now, Miss Orihime.  This is the Paris Floral Assault Squad here,
   so let's not rain on their parade.

Reni: ......That's right.

Kayama: Look, see his smiling face.  It's dazzling in the morning sun, isn't
   it.  Friendship is grand, isn't it, Ogami.

* * * * *

Mell: Tonight we've altered the program so that you may all witness a special
   show!

Ci: The songstresses who have captured Europe's heart have returned from 
   Tokyo!

Mell: Soletta Orihime!!  Reni Milchstrasse!!

Ci: Everyone, please enjoy to your heart's content!!

{Once again, out of the following five lines, the one said by the member you
chose to be Vice-Captain will NOT appear.}
Erica: Kyaaaah!  Miss Orihime, Miss Reni, you're the best!!

Coquelicot: Uwaaah!  They look really good!

Hanabi: The showy Miss Orihime...... and Miss Reni who supports her......
   They're a great couple, aren't they, *sigh*.

Lobelia: Standing on the stage in commemoration of the victory - that's
   pretty cheeky of them, isn't it, those two.

Glycine: To have such liveliness return to the theatre like this really
   brings out the true feeling that we've really been victorious.

~~ If you didn't choose Erica to be Vice-Captain Start ~~
Erica: Huh......?  Where did the other two go?
~~ If you didn't choose Erica to be Vice-Captain End ~~

~~ If you did choose Erica to be Vice-Captain End ~~

Grand Mere: That...... would be uncouth to even ask......

~~ If you chose Erica to be Vice-Captain Start ~~
Erica: Mr. Ogami......  Peace sure is nice.

   Do you remember...... what you told me just before the final battle?

Ogami: Hm......?  Let's see...... what was it again?

Erica: When I...... heard those words from you, Mr. Ogami, it was as if I 
   were in a dream.

Ogami: I'm sorry...... but I don't really remember......

Erica: That's terrible!!  To forget such an important thing!!

   You said we would live together when we won, didn't you!!

Ogami: Eeh!?  Did I say something like that?

Erica: I fought wishing only to live in the city I love with the person I
   love!

   And despite that...... despite that...... to think you would forget!!

Ogami: Wa- wait, Erica!!  That's all a misunderstanding!  I never said 
   anything like that!!

Erica: It doesn't matter anymore whether you said it or not!

Ogami: Wa- wait just a second!  I really didn't say it!!

Erica: No excuses!  You were playing around with my innocence, weren't you!

   I will have you take responsiblity!!  Are you listening, Mr. Ogami!?

Ogami: U- uwaaaah!

{Now go down to the * * * * * below.}
~~ If you chose Erica to be Vice-Captain End ~~

~~ If you chose Coquelicot to be Vice-Captain Start ~~
Coquelicot: Say, Ichiro......  We really won, didn't we.

   Now the everyone in Paris can live their lives smiling.

Ogami: Yeah, you're right.  This is all thanks to you doing your best for us
   as Vice-Captain.

Coquelicot: Thanks......  From this last battle, I've...... come to like you
   even more, Ichiro.

   Ah!?  Don't get me wrong.  I've liked you for a real long time now.

   And so...... lately...... these feelings of liking you, Ichiro, have
   continued to grow lots bigger.

Ogami: Coquelicot......

Coquelicot: Ah!?  That's right, I forgot!!  Everyone said they wanted to see
   you, Ichiro, so I brought them along.

Ogami: E- everyone, you say......  You don't mean......?

Coquelicot: That's right!!  The animals from the circus.  They've just
   returned to Paris!

   And so, when I talked to them about you, Ichiro, they told me they wanted
   to meet you right away.  So...... I've brought them here!

Ogami: Co- Coquelicot......  This lion's licking its lips at me......

== Translation Notes ======================================================
{1} The line Hanabi sings here, "yubi-kiri genman, uso tsuitara hari senbon
no~masu" (т肰܂AE\j{́`܂), is a traditional
children's line sung when making a promise (a "yubi-kiri" or "pinky-swear")
in this fashion.

{2} This is a terrible kanji-based pun which of course doesn't work at all
in English.  "Dokushinjutsu," written uǐOpv, means "lip-reading."
However, "dokushin," when written uƐgv, means "single" (i.e., 
"unmarried").  "Jutsu" (p) means "technique" or "art."  Thus, Ogami is
making a play on words by saying "dokushinjutsu" is a method of living
without getting married.

{3} 'Tenteko-mai' (ĂĂ) is a figure of speech meaning "whirl of
business" or "humming with activity," indicating a state of activity so
busy one has no time to rest.  "Tenteko" is the sound of the drums in
music played during festivals for the gods and the like.
