Princess Lover! Episode 9

Summary:
While Sylvia and the others return to the Arima mansion, Teppei and
Charlotte are still in the Arima Hills building where multiple
explosives have been planted. Charlotte isn’t worried because she’s
with Teppei, and while the two are trying to figure out what to do,
Josephine briefly calls Teppei via the intercom system to taunt him.
Over at the mansion, Yuu explains that a number of the bombs are being
taken care of by the Arima security forces, but that still leaves two
which need to be disarmed. When Sylvia decides to volunteer to go back
to take care of one of them, Seika insists on going as well. That
leaves the final bomb for Teppei and Charlotte to disarm, but they run
into all sorts of trouble along the way. They first come across two of
Charlotte’s captors, and Teppei is able to knock them out while they’re
thinking about Charlotte. They are then stopped in a passageway blocked
by a shutter door, and when Teppei struggles to break through, it’s
Charlotte who is ultimately successful using a chainsaw.

Meanwhile, on their way back to Arima Hills, Sylvia tells Seika that
her feelings now are similar to those that she felt towards her mother.
When her mother died, Sylvia couldn’t do anything about it, but there
are things that she can do now. Seika connects this to Sylvia liking
Teppei, and Seika admits to liking him as well. The two then arrive and
head inside the building towards their assigned bomb. Upon finding it,
they have to decide whether to cut the red or blue wire before the
timer runs out, and Sylvia finally cuts the red one based on how it was
her lucky color for today. Fortunately, it was the right choice. Teppei
and Charlotte, on the other hand, have run into more trouble. They come
across the leader of the trio who captured Charlotte, and he tries to
shoot them. He hates Teppei because of his status, but Teppei manages
to block the bullets with his wooden sword, and he knocks the guy out
with a punch to the face. When they reach their assigned bomb with too
little time to disarm it, Teppei throws it instead into a garbage
chute, and that protects him from the ensuing explosion.

In the aftermath, Teppei and Charlotte meet up with Sylvia and Seika,
and Sylvia immediately tells Charlotte about Hartmann’s death.
Charlotte admits that she had tried to like Hartmann since he was her
fiancé, and while she couldn’t in the past, she can now that she knows
he tried to save Sylvia’s father and Teppei’s grandfather. A car then
arrives to pick up Charlotte, and after she leaves, Sylvia explains
that Charlotte did actually care for Hartmann. Unbeknownst to everyone,
the driver of Charlotte’s car is actually Hartmann in disguise.
