[xxx] : narration {xxx} : translation notes //xxx// : sound effects "xxx" : character speech xxx : character thoughts (Page 1) //quiet// [Riya is reading a sign.] Riya: "The spring of Beruruchika. Throw a coin into this spring and watch. If you hit the target, Beruruchika will give you a nice present." Riya (wondering outloud): A spring in the middle of the park, I don't know why it's here. What did it mean when it said "hit the target"... Anyway, I'll just throw and see. //plop// [Riya throws a coin into the pond.] (Page 2) [At the bottom, the coin hit the target.] //SPLASH// [A pretty seirei{fairy?/goddess?} appeared out the pond] Seirei: "You hit the target! I'm the seirei of the spring, Beruruchika!! Riya(happy): "Yeah! Yeah! I hit the jackpot!! What are you going to give me?!" Beruruchika: "This is the present, it is a magic stick!" Riya: "A magic stick?" (Page 3) Beruruchika: "Wave it around and say this incantation... BERURUSO BERURUSO BERURUCHIKA. Riya: "Beruruso, beruruso, BERURUCHIKA!!" [Riya transforms into a magical girl!!] Riya (dead shocked): ........ Beruruchika: "What do you think? Now you are a pretty magical girl! Go out to the street and use the stick to make all hopes and dreams come true." Riya: "I wanted to be more good-looking, but I'm not a GIRL?!" Beruruchika: "Oh yes you are! You just transformed into one!" Riya: "WHAT?!" (Page 4) Riya: "KYAAAAAAA!!! No Way! I don't want to be like this! I want to be the way I was again!!" Beruruchika: "Pass this stick to someone else and ask him/her to say the incantation and you'll change back! Bye bye now!" //GAN// [Riya stood dumbfounded as Beruruchika disappears into the pond.] [Later... Riya is walking along the streets in his magical girl outfit.] Riya: "This is no joke! If I don't get rid of this, my plan to marry Cha Cha in the future will be dashed! //Hm?// [Riya see a reflection of himself in the glass pane of a show-window of a shop.] Riya(think): No that's not right, girls walk in a much cuter fashion. Is it like that? (strikes some pose) (Page 5) [Suddenly...] Shiine: "......... hey!" Riya: "KYAAAAAAA!!! Shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shi-shiinechan, when did you appear?!" Shiine: "I was around when I saw you kept smiling to yourself while staring at your own reflection and then you strike some strange pose... oh well, it's just such a PECULIAR habit..." Riya: "No! no! Don't look at me now!" //ha ha ha ha// Shiine: "I must go and tell Cha Cha-san!" //waaaaaah// Riya: "Hey! Wait! I'm under a spell by some awful magic, help me undo it!!" Shiine[interested]: "Magic?!" Riya: "Wave this and sing out this incantation." [Riya passes the stick to Shiine.] Shiine: ? Beruruso Beruruso... (Page 6) Shiine: "BERURUCHIKA!!!" [Shiine transforms into a magical girl!!] Shiine: !! [Riya gets freed from the spell and changes back into a boy.] Riya: "Yeah! I'm back to me old self again." Shiine[angry]: "What is this??!!!" Riya: "Shiine is a Magical Girl!" (Page 7) Shiine: "Aw man! I don't want this, what about my plan to marry Cha Cha in the future..." Riya: "I wonder who will undo the spell for you..." Heihachi: "... what are you guys doing? what game is that?" Shiine: "Heihachi-san, I'm so glad you're here." Heihachi: "what? I wave this around, sing and dance ^^, leave it to me!!" Shiine: "erm... you don't need to sing and dance." Heihachi[singing/dancing]: "BERURUSO BERURUSO..." Riya: "He's singing and dancing!" Heihachi: "BERURUCHIKA!!!" [Hehachi transforms into a magical girl!] (Page 8) //kuwa// [Heihachi stares at his own attire in shock. Shiine transforms back into a boy.] Heihachi[staring at a glass pane]: "NO WAY?! I'm so gorgeous!" [Shiine and Riya facefault!] [Heihachi gets an idea, and starts running, Riya and Shiine follow him out of curiosity.] Heihachi: "Next time, if it's gonna be this fun, tell me first! I'm gonna trick Po-chan!! Riya: "Popy-kun?" Shiine: "Trick him?" [At nyako house.] Heihachi: "Are you.. Popy-kun?" Popy: "yes... Heihachi?" Popy(think): No it can't be, it's a girl. (Page 9) Hehachi: "I'm Heihachi's twin little sister. My brother is in great need of your help. Popy(think): I never knew he had a sister... Popy: "Let's see... wave this and say?" Hehachi(doing a little dance): "Just follow what I do, Beruruso Beruruso... Popy[feeling awkard]: "Be... Beruruso Beruruso" [Riya and Shiine are hiding behind a fence, snickering.] Shiine: "Actually, there's no need to sing and dance... *snicker* Riya: "I cannot laugh... *snicker* Popy: "BERURUCHIKA!!!" [Popy transforms into a magical girl!] Heihachi[back as a guy, rolling on the floor in peals of laughter]: DAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! You've been tricked! You've been tricked! Popy: "How dare you-- Heihachi?!! You tricked me!!" (Page 10) Riya: "To change back to your old self, you must pass the magic to another person. Then you'll be free from the spell." Popy: "What?! Are you guys stupid? If you had given the stick to some girl from the very start, we wouldn't have this problem!!" Riya: "Oh I never thought of that!" Shiine: "Oh you're so right!" Heihachi: "But, what's so fun about a girl transforming into a girl!" Popy: "Only YOU will find THIS fun!!" Riya: "Cha Cha will like this very much!!" Shiine: "Cha Cha-san, where are you?!!" (Page 11) Dorothy: "Chako {Dorothy calls Cha Cha, Chako} went off to play with Chu Chu. [Dorothy sees something, and Popy quickly hides behind Heihachi.] Dorothy: "... Popy-kun? What are you doing? You look so cute..." Popy[blushing]: ................. Shiine: "He doesn't feel godd, please don't look at him." [Shiine gets an idea.] Shiine: "Oh yes! Until Cha Cha-san comes back, can Teacher hold this? " Riya: "You should have no problems since you're a woman..." Dorothy[takes the stick]: "What is this? I wave it and say BEURUSO BEURUSO BERURUCHIKA!!" [Dorothy transforms into a magical girl!] (Page 12) Dorothy: "Kya! What is this?" Riya: "Wow! She looks younger..." Popy[back as a boy]: ............ Hehachi: "yes... a golden hair magical girl!!" Seravi: "If Seravi sees this, bad things are going to happen." [Just then, Seravi comes by and sees Dorothy!] Seravi: "MY DOROTHY-CHAN HAS RETURNED!!!" Dorothy: "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" [Dorothy struggles for air as Seravi embraces her.] Dorothy: "Hey! Change me back!! And QUICKLY!!" Shiine: "Right, right!" (Page 13) [Shiine sees Lizard.] Shiine: "Ah! Uncle! Wave this..." Seravi[grabbing Shiine]: "No you do not do that, I've been watching you since just now." Seravi[getting the stick]: "If I hide this somewhere, Dorothy-chan will be this way FOREVER!!" Dorothy: "no........." //snatch!// [Popy jumps from nowhere and grabs the stick from Seravi!] Seravi: "Oh no!" Dorothy: "Popy's the greatest!" [A fight ensues between the 3 boys and Seravi.] Seravi: "Hey!! You dare trigger my wrath!! Heihachi(cheering): "Wahahaha!! GO! GO!" Popy: "HEIHACHI!! Can't you at least help us!!" (Page 14) [Riya gets the stick!] Dorothy: "Doggie! GO! GO! [Riya hides behind some bushes while Seravi searches for me on his broom.] Riya[thinking]: He's so angry. Wish I had someone who'd believe me so that I can pass the stick to him. huh? [Riya sees a small bald guy crouching nearby in depression.] Small guy: "waah! I want hair! I want to be tall! I don't want to live life as a small person anymore!!" Riya[giving him the stick]: "erm.. if you wave this, you'll transform into a magical girl, and your life can be better." (Page 15) [The next day...] TV: "Today's guest is super idol magical girl, Ballerina-chan!" [TV shows a pretty girl holding the magic stick.] [Seravi, Riya, Shiine, Cha Cha and Popy are watching TV.] Seravi: "This cute girl used to be the small bald guy?!" Riya: "I like her transformed as a magical girl." Cha Cha: "Wish I could be a magical girl too..." Popy: "Aren't you already one?!" ~ End of Story 70 ~ Translation copyrighted to Nekochan (aoi_hane@hotmail.com)
