Rozen Maiden: Ouvertüre

Fa...th...er...

Father...

Father...

Father...

Cleaning~ Cleaning~

We'll have flower hamburgers after we are done~

All that's left is... Huh?

What's that?

A Kun-Kun book?

It's unopened...

Ouch!

Honestly, I cannot relax for even a moment.

How many times must I say it before you understand?

Do not touch anything in my room without my permission.

It's my room!

Not only that, I told you that we'd be cleaning it!

Besides that, when did you buy such a thing?

It has become quite convenient after 600 thousand hours.

Note: 600 thousand hours is roughly 68 years.

One but has to press a button and items are delievered to you.

A button...?

Why you...

I shall leave this matter to you, since I do not quite understand it.

"You can pay at the nearest post office, bank, credit union, provincial bank, or the following convenient stores."

That is what is written on it.

Do you know what it means, Jun?

Argh!

You aren't going to take a look?

It always happens ~desu.

Does it?

After all, the human capabilities of that chibi-human are too lacking ~desu.

Even though he has become Suiseiseki's medium, he's always screaming "Shinku! Shinku!" when something happens...

That's true, but Jun-kun is not ignoring you, Suiseiseki-chan.

Eh?

The other time, he softly said that your eyes are beautiful.

W-W-W-W-Whaa?

He also said that if your personality changed a bit for the better...

Wha?!

Hey, over here...

I'm annoyed ~desu!

I'm annoyed ~desu! I'm annoyed ~desu!

I'm annoyed ~desu!!!

What are you doing?!

Chibi-humans like you are not fit to comment about my personality ~desu!

Huh? What are you talking about?

You're annoying ~desu!

Geez, what is going on...

Please don't take it seriously.

So, did something happen?

Ah...

Looks like we don't have any red thread.

Jun, you are responsible for this. You must restore it to its original state.

It obviously came off because you were fooling around...

Jun!

Yes, yes. I'll go and buy some, okay?

Say "yes" only once.

Gosh, you are quite rude.

Yes.

Have a safe trip ~nano!

I'm off.

The smartest of the Rozen Maidens, Kanaria!

After conquering one hundred ninety-eight challenges, I finally have a chance to get into Shinku's house ~kashira?

But...

I'm caught in a big pinch ~kashira?!

I'm off.

How beautiful...

Beautiful? More so than Shinku?

Yes. You are my best creation.

You won't lose to the Rozen Maidens.

I will not lose.

Yes, will not lose.

My doll will not lose.

Father...

Excuse me. Is anyone in?

Hmph.

Is this the right shade of red?

Ah... yes.

What are you using it for?

E-Erm...

A button came off.

I see. Then, it's for a doll wearing red clothes?

Ah...

Please wait a while.

Okay.

Sakurada-kun, look at this.

Eh?

This... is very pretty.

Yeah.

It is.

Do you like it?

Ah, yes.

I made it.

Eh...

That's amazing.

Yeah.

Hold on, Baron Anglerfish...

The culprit is you!

It's true. The jellyfish princess was tricked by Baron Anglerfish here.

Is this another foreshadowing that they have prepared?

I want to eat!

We can't until everyone is here.

Everyone has to be around first.

I-I know ~desu.

I'm home.

Ah, you're back~!

Welcome back ~nano!

Shinku.

What is it?

I bought the red thread, but...

Since it has to be sewn from scratch, I thought it would be nice to have something new.

Pretty, isn't it?

It's said to be a brooch for dolls.

Shinku, since it has a floral design on it, I thought that it might suit yo-

I do not want it.

Eh? You don't like it?

But take a look; the color suits you, too...

I said I do not want it.

Geez. Thanks to Shinku and that chibi-human, the meal was so gloomy ~desu.

Ah, Souseiseki?

Ah, that's right...

Take a look.

It looks right after all.

The color matches, too.

Why did you do such a selfish thing?

It's fine for you to just wear it once, right?

Since I went all the way to buy it.

I told you to restore it to its original state.

I know that...

But...

Enough. Hurry and remove it.

Shinku...

Remove it!

What are you doing?!

Since you were so selfish...

What's wrong?

I bought it because I thought that it was pitiful for you to wear the same things all the time!

I do not want it.

Do whatever you want!

Souseiseki...

You came today, as well.

Hmm?

Someone asked me what I wanted when they came to visit me,

so I asked them for roses.

Dark red roses.

Roses wither easily, don't they?

The colors of such beautiful things fade away as you watch them, and they eventually wither.

Don't you think they're wonderful?

Is that so?

I hate such flowers.

I find them repulsive.

That is why I will shred them apart no how many times it takes...

Make them wither, until no trace of them remains.

Why do you want to talk to me?

Can you show me the brooch from earlier?

Eh? That's fine...

It's as I thought...

Is there something wrong with the brooch?

You didn't hear about it from Shinku?

Yeah...

I see.

You are Shinku's, Hina-Ichigo's, and Suiseiseki's medium.

Y-Yes.

That is why I will tell you... something about us...

...and our Alice Game...
