p.142. My, that looks delicious! It reminds me how hungry I am. H:

Natsuko! 3) Say, doesn't this resemble you a little? H: Really? 4) I

thought museum sightseeing was going to be boring, but this is more fun

than I expected. N: Say, Honey, check this out!! 5) Don't you think the

person in the middle looks like someone we know? H: Now that you mention

it...(Fade) It's eerie. 6) "The Wood Sprite," it says. Hah! Tell me

another one!



p.143. It should really be called "Wood Fox Spirit." Ms. M: My~! What a

wonderful faerie tableau. 2) Ms...Ms. Miharu! Ms.M: The two of you show

real taste in stopping at this painting. 3) Please go on with your

sightseeing. It's just the thing to refine your artistic sensibilities.

(Fade) It gets prettier the more I gaze at it... N:L...let's go. 4)

Seiji! Caption: Summer outfit S: Hey! What a place to run into you!



p.144. Why, I never figured you for an art connoisseur... S: Cut it out!

This is business. There's a chance of a panther sighting. 2) Panther

Claw...here? S: You know the absurdly large painting you passed called

"Wood Sprite?" It's apparently worth millions. 3) While we're on the

subject, have you seen it? You call that a sprite? (Aside) Someone must

not have been right in their head. (Normal) "The Old Witch" seems more

appropriate. 4) Gotta run, Seiji! S: Oh? Hold on... ?: Just a moment,

you.. 5) Eh? FX: GRRR... S:Ack! It's the Wood Sprite! 6) Seiji,

you're hopeless. Ms. M.: Don't you have any appreciation of the

painting's artistry?.... S:whimper



p.145. Huh? That flower... 2) There's a card. Card: The Wood Sprite is in

danger. 3) Could this be...Twilight Prince? 4)Wh...Where? 5) Why

are you always giving me counsel? Who are you really, Twilight Prince? I

want to see you again...



p.146. Eek! 2) Ho~Ho!Ho!Ho! Panther Claw's #1 artist, Panther Draw, makes

her entrance! I'll be taking "the Wood Sprite!" Crowd: WA~H! 3) Panther

Claw! They're here! 4) So this is the "Wood Sprite" that Lady Zora was so

hot for...But it's rather unsightly...I do declare, I'll never understand

Lady Zora's taste. Thugs: You said it! 5) You there! Whatever malicious

drivel you spew, I won't stand for it!...I do declare!



p.147. Missie, how dare you, a common mortal, ape my speech mannerisms?

And to top it all off, your resemblance to the painting irks me no end!

Terminate her with extreme prejudice! Thug: As you command! Ms. M.:

*wheeze* 2) Enough! FX: THUD 3) Interlopers will be subject to my

art...I do declare! 4) FX: SPLOOSH S:Wha...? 5) Sheeit! (Fade) Get me

down! Let me out! Caption: Portrait of a Silly Shamus PD: Now let's

transport the painting. On the double!...I do declare.



p.148. H...Hey! Check this out...Doesn't this picture look just like the

Mona Lisa? 2) A lot prettier than "the Wood Sprite," that's for sure!

3)Thanks for the compliment! FX: Wink Thug: WHA...! Did the painting just

talk? 4) Hello, here's a present FX: Bash 5) Damn! What a weirdo! Where

did she go? FX: slide



p.149. I'm just an artist passing by! Caption: How suspicious... FX:

TA-DA~~! 2) Hmm...You'd make a splendid subject! You must consent to

model for me. 3) Oh...oh my! A model, you say? You'll make me blush, I do

declare. "Artist": Painting is such a thrill! This is marvelous! Just

marvelous!! 4) It's done! My ultimate masterpiece! 5) Say what? How dare

you depict one such as I in that fashion!! FX: gnash "Artist": (mutter)

And I thought it was such a good likeness, too. (Normal) Hmph! Modeling's

the pits, ain't it?



p.150. I shan't forgive you, I do declare! You shameless hack!! 2) Oh-ho!

FX:*whoot* 3) Indeed, this is how a good model should look. Don't you

agree? Thug:D'uh-heh.... FX: poit! 5) Stop drooling, I do declare!

Wha...What are you!? You're no ordinary model, I do declare!



p.151. I'd be glad to enlighten you! 2) Sometimes I'm the eternal beauty

Mona Lisa Honey. On still other occasions, I'm the obsessive

connoisseur of the arts Painter Honey. While at other times I'm the

majestic goddess of beauty Stage Honey. 3) However, my true form

is...Honey~Fla~sh! FX: Burst 4) Cutey Honey, Maiden Wielder of Love's

Light!

I'll unmask your true form!! 4) The more I look at it, the more it

resembles Ms. Miharu! 5) Boo-hoo! Why am I reduced to doing this... Ms.

M.: You should clean up your own mess, I do declare! S: But it wasn't

me... FX: goosh! goosh! H: Tee-hee!
