| 1 | Shirogane Takeru-sama, | |
| 2 | I caused a lot of trouble for you, Shirogane, but thank you for always taking me seriously. | |
| 3 | Thanks to you being so nosy, I've grown a lot as a person. | |
| 4 | At first I thought the ideals you pursued were hopelessly pure. | |
| 5 | You were definitely an incredible Eishi, Shirogane, but I thought your mind was lacking. | |
| 6 | But no matter what happened to you, you always faced it without getting discouraged. Seeing you like that started to make me feel ashamed of myself. | |
| 7 | And I realized that feeling ashamed of my father and hating society was really just me running away from my problems. | |
| 8 | I became convinced that I really hadn't been thinking about anyone but myself. | |
| 9 | I'll try to give everything I have for others for my own sake, the way you do. | |
| 10 | It wasn't for very long, but I'm glad I was able to make that decision and take action on it at the end of my life. | |
| 11 | As thanks, I'll tell you something interesting. | |
| 12 | I love you, Shirogane. | |
| 13 | I'm madly in love with you. | |
| 14 | I'm not sure when I started feeling this way myself. | |
| 15 | But at some point I realized I was always thinking about you, Shirogane. | |
| 16 | I realized my eyes would always follow you. | |
| 17 | I was really happy on days when you didn't go on your special mission and we could train together. | |
| 18 | I always wanted to sit next to you in the PX. | |
| 19 | But Kagami is better suited to you. | |
| 20 | I get jealous easily, so come alone when you visit the cherry trees. | |
| 21 | Goodbye. | |
| 22 | The yakisoba bread was delicious. | |

| 26 | Shirogane Takeru-sama, | |
| 27 | Takeru-san, thank you so much. | |
| 28 | I learned a lot from you, Takeru-san. | |
| 29 | So I'm very grateful to you. And I respect you a lot. | |
| 30 | A lot's happened since I met you two months ago. | |
| 31 | A lot of things that forced me to think hard about what I really believed in. | |
| 32 | At the time, Takeru-san, your way of thinking was probably my ideal. | |
| 33 | You have to make your dreams happen yourself, no matter how painful and discouraging it gets. | |
| 34 | Nothing can be accomplished by running away from pain, or without causing someone else pain. | |
| 35 | My dream is still for everyone to be happy. | |
| 36 | I want everyone I love, everyone in the world to smile happily together. | |
| 37 | That dream won't change. | |
| 38 | That's why I will make Operation Cherry Blossom succeed.\p In order to make that dream a reality, I have to work with everyone to open up a path. | |
| 39 | By the time you read this letter, Takeru-san, I'll have given my life for it. | |
| 40 | But I believe you reading this letter, Takeru-san, is proof that the world has taken its first huge step toward peace. | |
| 41 | I said I wouldn't write anything, but I am anyway, because I'm weak. | |
| 42 | After all, I'm sure you aren't writing anything, Takeru-san. | |
| 43 | 1st Lt. Hayase will probably want even more push-ups or sit-ups from me, but I want to go see the others with my head held high. | |
| 44 | I plan on telling them I did my very best. | |
| 45 | Takeru-san, I don't think the war's going to end anytime soon,\p but please find happiness someday. | |
| 46 | Please make Kagami-san happy too. | |
| 47 | And lastly, please forgive me for showing you my weakness. | |
| 48 | I was jealous of Kagami-san because you loved her and not me, Takeru-san. | |
| 49 | Goodbye. | |

| 53 | Shirogane Takeru-sama, | |
| 54 | I'm sure you'd hate a letter full of formalities. | |
| 55 | So I'll write down my honest feelings. | |
| 56 | First, I apologize for when I pressured you to write a will. | |
| 57 | Given your way of thinking, it couldn't have felt right, especially coming from someone who didn't want to write one herself.//did she not write it during coup d'etat? I can't remember. ~IX | |
| 58 | But I still wanted to tell you how thankful I was. | |
| 59 | It's been a little over two months since I met you. | |
| 60 | But you've taught me so many things I can't sum them up all at once. | |
| 61 | You did everything better than average and had an excellent mind. I couldn't help but trust you. | |
| 62 | On the other hand, I left my leadership position after being commissioned, and talking to our commanding officers has made me realize how narrow-minded I was. | |
| 63 | I even felt relieved at not being the leader of a unit anymore. | |
| 64 | Originally I wanted to fight for that position, but when it happened I felt calm. | |
| 65 | So when I was ordered to act as the unit commander during Operation Cherry Blossom, I honestly felt like the pressure was going to crush me. | |
| 66 | But if I ran away from it, then I'd be turning by backs on you and everyone in this unit who helped me grow. | |
| 67 | Now that I think that, I'll put everything I have into it, in order to improve myself. | |
| 68 | Please watch me. | |
| 69 | My only regret is that by the time you read this letter, I'll have already died in battle. | |
| 70 | It's very unfortunate that I won't get to hear what you think of it. | |
| 71 | Sgt. Jinguuji and Capt. Isumi will probably give me an earful, so if you feel like it, please visit the cherry trees at the front gate. | |
| 72 | Finally, | |
| 73 | Please forgive me for being cowardly, selfish and weak enough to write this. | |
| 74 | I loved you. | |
| 75 | Even after I learned about Kagami, I was never able to get over you. | |
| 76 | I pray that you and Kagami find happiness. | |

| 80 | Shirogane Takeru-sama, | |
| 81 | I'm not good at writing respectfully, so I'll do this in my usual lighthearted style. | |
| 82 | I was shocked at first when you treated me like a guy, but I really am happy that I got to meet you, Takeru. | |
| 83 | You're an amazing person who can do anything. | |
| 84 | But I don't think you're as omnipotent as everyone says you are. | |
| 85 | You've been worrying your head off about problems of your own, and you must have gone through a lot of painful things. | |
| 86 | And yet everyone still expects so much of you. I think it's extraordinary that you keep rising to meet those expectations. | |
| 87 | And I think that's what's most amazing. | |
| 88 | Seeing you try so hard, Takeru, supported me and spurred me onward. | |
| 89 | I was able to overcome all the sad and painful things that happened because you were there, Takeru. | |
| 90 | Thank you so much. I really respect that part of you, Takeru. | |
| 91 | I'm sure everyone else in the unit felt the same way. | |
| 92 | Ever since Capt. Isumi told me to work on it, I've been trying to fix my habit of ignoring what everyone else is doing. | |
| 93 | It wasn't for very long, but I think I can see a lot more now because of it. | |
| 94 | I wanted to do a lot more so I could surprise you, Takeru, but unfortunately I won't be able to. | |
| 95 | I wanted to at least change your impression of me to something other than a weird girl who looks like a guy, but as long as you have memories of me, I guess that's okay. | |
| 96 | Finally, there's one last thing I want to tell you, Takeru. | |
| 97 | This will be the last time you have to put up with my antics, so bear with it. | |
| 98 | I've been hiding it for a long time, but I love you, Takeru. | |
| 99 | As a girl of course. | |
| 100 | Sorry for telling you in such an unfair way. | |
| 101 | But please forgive me for loving you, Takeru. | |
| 102 | This might sound weird right after that, but make Sumika-san happy. | |
| 103 | You finally got to see her again, so you'd better do it. | |
| 104 | Goodbye. | |
