マリア様がみてる
子羊たちの休暇

Maria-sama ga Miteru:
Kohitsuji-tachi no Kyuka

(Maria Sama is watching:
Vacation of the Lambs)

 

 

"Also, I do not want to be shown the sisters' vacation. I want to see it."
"I understand, I understand. What I want are not smiles for interviews, but private, unsuspecting expressions."
"Exactly."
This is probably what it means by "sharing a common tune." Though news and photos are different media, the two's preferances amazingly overlap.

"Why not we sneak in?"
Finding a comrade makes one accelerate in aggressive sentiment. Three-quarters tucked her short bangs for the summer behind her ears, and smiled brightly.
"That is reckless. It is a summerhouse owned by the Ogasawaras. Sure there is ample security."
Having someone at the side to stop outrageous ideas, one can safely say big words. In light of this, Glasses was suited to the expected follow-up post she took.

"Especially when it is during the princess' stay. Surely there are thoroughly planned security systems installed in every corner."
"Any unlawful intruders identified would be notified to a security company for dispatchment. No, even that is just lukewarm."
"Maybe high-voltage wires on top of walls?"
"Yes, yes. Guardmen hired by the Ogasawaras guard the gates like soldiers, and patrolled at the walls' vicinity--"
"The close bodyguards are all handsome guys like models for Paris Collection."
"But the two are so absorbed in their little world, and take no notice of such guys around them...!"

Imagination outside security measures was gradually inflated in the name of fancies.
"I would like to see that!"
"Yes! Me too!"
The dream that the two saw was the glamorous, quiet vacation the Red Rose sisters took relaxingly in the Ogasawaras' summerhouse.


 

By the way, Three-quarters' name was Yamaguchi Mami (山口真美), and Glasses' name was Takeshima Tsutako (武嶋蔦子).
Oblivious of such conversation that went on and on at a time the sisters' didn't know, Yumi that night engaged diligently in packing.
Beginning the last Monday of July, she would be staying at the plateau summerhouse with Onee-sama for a week, that's why.
