######################################

                 BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"You mean about the
Blue Feather?"
"What happens if a man
gives it to another man?"
"Well, there are many
kinds of love..."
".........."
"Who do you want to get
one from, little sis?"
"From you, of course!"
"Aww..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I planted Tomato Seeds,
but nothing is happening!
Why not?"
"Did you till the soil
before you planted?"
"Umm...No."
"Well, that's why! You have
to till the soil with your
Hoe before planting. You
also have to clear the
field before planting if
there is something on it.
You can cut grass with the
Sickle or pull it out.
You can use a Hammer to
break Stones or move them
by hand.
Finally, you can chop up
Branches with your Axe or
move them with your hands."
"Now I see!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I tilled the earth like
you said, then planted, but
the next day the Seeds
were gone! Why?"
"Did you plant the right
Seeds? If you plant Fall or
Summer Seeds in Spring,
they won't grow, you know."
"Really...Now that you
remind me, Tomatoes only
grow in Summer."
"That's why, silly!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I tilled my field, then
planted the right Seeds
for the season, but they
still won't grow!"
"Have you watered them with
the Watering Can?"
"You mean I have to
water them, too?!"
"Of course! Nothing will
grow without water.
Except farm grass, of
course."
"So that's what the
Watering Can was for..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I try using the Watering
Can, but no water comes
out! Why?"
"Well, first you have to
fill it up, you know."
"How do you do that?"
"First you equip it, then
go to water - like a pond,
river, or lake - and use
it. That's all."
"No one ever told me I had
to fill it up..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I used to be able to walk
over my Seeds, but not
when they start growing."
"Yes, you can't walk over
crops when they grow.
You can if you run,
though."
"Really?"
"Yes, you can jump over one
square of anything if you
run, like Stones, Fences,
or Branches."
"That's good to know."
"Just remember that you
can't jump over things if
there's something on
the other side."
"Got it, brother."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You were telling me I
can't walk on things when
they grow, but I can walk
on farm grass."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. You can
walk on grass however much
it grows, of course."
"Grass is for walking on,
I guess."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I think my Turnips are
ready to harvest, so what
do I do now?"
"If you face your crop and
press the A Button, you
can lift it up to harvest
it.
After you harvest the
Turnip, the field will go
back to its tilled state.
If your crop can be
harvested more than once,
though, it will go back to
a seedling."
"So you can harvest some
crops lots of times?
I can't wait to try."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Can I turn a field back
to its untilled state?"
"Sure. Just use a Hammer on
a tilled field, then it
won't be tilled any more."
"That's great!"
"You can also return a
field to its untilled state
by putting Stones,
Branches, or Lumber on it."
"That seems like another
good way. Does it work
if the field is watered?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter if
the field is watered
or not."
"Got it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I tried to return my field
to its untilled state like
you said yesterday, but
it didn't work."
"I don't know why...
Oh! Maybe you had already
seeded it...?"
"That's right."
"Well, if you seeded it,
then you have to use your
Hoe to remove the
Seeds first. After that you
can use your Hammer."
"Seems like an awful
lot of work..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Last time you told me
about returning a field
to its original state.
But, what about farm grass?
Even when I cut it, some
stubble remains, and then
it grows back."
"I forgot to say. If you
use the Hoe on a field
after you've cut it with a
Sickle, then it will
become a tilled field with
nothing on it."
"So I should use the Hoe
right after cutting the
grass, right?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I put a Cucumber in the
Basket to ship, then
changed my mind. I can't
take it out, though!"
"That's right. Once you put
something in the Basket to
ship, it's in there for
good. You can't change
your mind."
"And I wanted that Cucumber
for lunch, too...!"
"Now you've learned your
lesson. By the way, to
ship what's in the Basket,
hold it up, then press the
A Button while facing the
Shipment Box."
"I never wanted to ship it
to begin with..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It seems that I can only
put shippable things in my
Basket..."
"Of course!"
"Why is that?"
"Because you can't fill up
the Basket with things you
can't ship anyway, silly!"
"And I wanted to use it as
a garbage can, too..."
"That's what you have a
garbage can for!"
"I guess you're right."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Cough...cough..."
"What's wrong? And why are
you putting your hand out
like that?"
"Today is the Spring
Thanksgiving Festival.
You're supposed to give
me a Cookie!..."
"That's right! I
did bring you a Cookie,
I just forgot to give it
to you. Here you are."
"I knew you wouldn't forget!
I can't wait to give you
something for the Winter
Thanksgiving Festival."
"I look forward to it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard that if you throw
away trash in town, people
won't like you."
"Of course! Not just trash,
though. If you throw any-
thing away in town,
people will get upset.
I don't blame 'em!"
"What should I do when I
want to throw something
away, then?"
"No one will care if you
throw something away on
your own farm. There's also
a garbage can in Rose
Square. Finally, you can
throw things away in the
mine and no one will
mind."
"Let me get this straight:
My own farm, the garbage
can in the Square, or the
mine, right? "

                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I can't chop up a Stump,
no matter how many times I
hit it with my Axe."
"What kind of Axe are you
using?"
"You meant there's more
than one kind?"
"So you're using an Iron
Axe, I guess. You can
upgrade your Axe, as well
as your Hoe, Sickle,
Hammer, Watering Can, or
Fishing Rod."
"How do I do that?"
"First you find either
Copper, Silver, Gold, or
Mystrile in a mine, then
you bring the Ore along
with the Tool to Saibara
the blacksmith.
Of course, the tool also
has to be of a certain
experience level before
you can upgrade it. Some
Ores will make for better
upgrades than others."
"What do you mean by
"experience level"...?"
"I'll explain tomorrow."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Tool experience level,
right? You see, any time
you use a Tool, it
accumulates experience.
This works even if you
just pretend to use it,
although it will build up
experience quicker if you
use if for a real job."
"I think I get it..."
"So, the level of your Axe
was too low to use on a
Stump. You need a Level 2
Axe or better to chop up
a Stump, you see. You
can't smash a large Stone
with an Iron Axe, either."
"So I need better Tools!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I still can't chop up that
Stump..."
"Did you upgrade your
Axe?"
"Yes! I made it a Copper
Axe and everything..."
"Are you charging the Axe
before you use it?"
"I'm pressing the B Button
lots of times..."
"That won't work. To break
a large Stone or a Stump,
what you need to do is hold
down the B Button to
charge your Tool first."
"I didn't know that..."
"If you want to cut up a
Stump with a Copper Axe,
you have to use it about 6
times, even with
charging."
"That's a lot of work!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I bought a Chicken, but it
won't lay Eggs for me!"
"Are you feeding it, sis?"
"..........."
"You're not, I see.
Chickens need to eat, just
like you.
Actually, they lay Eggs
even if you don't feed
them, as long as they don't
become unhappy."
"How do I feed them,
then?"
"I'll explain tomorrow."
"My Chicken will be
hungry!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Feeding Chickens, right?
They sell Chicken Feed at
the same place as you
bought the Chicken."
"......"
"What's wrong?"
"They're closed today."
"Don't worry. There's
another way. Do you have
Corn?"
"Umm...No."
"In that case, just let
your Chickens out for a
few hours, and they'll
find worms and things to
eat on their own."
"Great! I'll go do it
now!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You mentioned Corn
yesterday. What if I
did have some...?"
"There's a way to turn
Corn into Chicken Feed.
You know the Water Mill
Next to the Chicken Coop?"
"What about it?"
"It will grind up Corn into
30 bushels of Chicken
Feed for you!"
"Where do I throw the
Corn?"
"You can throw it from
anywhere, as long as it
lands in the Water Wheel."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I let my Chickens out to
eat, but they still don't
lay any Eggs!"
"You didn't let them out
whet it was raining, did
you?"
"Yeah...Why?"
"They become very unhappy
when they get rained on!"
"Really?"
"Of course! It has to be
sunny when you let them
out, little sis!"
"I get it now."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How do I feed my Chickens
the regular way?"
"Do you have Chicken Feed
in the Feed Bin?"
"Yeah, I went out and
bought 825 bushels from
the Poultry Farm!"
"825 bushels! That's a
lot!"
"Well, I had 8,250G with
me, so...."
"Just was long as you don't
waste it."
"I won't."
"Until tomorrow, then."
"OK."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
It was about how to feed
your Chickens, right?"
"All you do is throw
Chicken Feed into the Feed
Box in the Chicken Coop."
"I can put it in any Feed
Box I want to?"
"Yeah, as long as you put
Feed in one Feed Box for
each Chicken in the Coop."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How do I get the Chicken
Feed to put in the Feed
Box?"
"Just press the A Button
in front of the Feed Bin
Door in the Chicken Coop.
The same thing is true for
the Feed Bin Door in
the Barn."
"Now I think I finally know
everything about feeding
my Chickens!"
"Don't forget to do it,
now!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I ran out of Chicken Feed.
What do I do now?"
"...What do you mean,
exactly?"
"I put Chicken Feed in all
of the Feed Boxes in the
Chicken Coop. Then, it was
gone the next day, even
though I only have 1
Chicken..."
"Chicken Feed always only
lasts for 1 day. So, be
sure not to put more in
than the number of Chickens
in your Coop. If you do,
it'll go to waste."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How can I get more
Fodder?"
"You buy it at Yodel Farm
for 20G a bushel."
"Is that it?"
"If you plant farm grass
Seeds, then harvest it
with a Sickle when it's
full grown, it'll wind up
in the Feed Bin as Fodder.
It will even grow back
after a while!
After that, all you have
to do is pick it up at
the Feed Bin Door,
just like Chicken Feed."
"I get it now."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I bought a Ball, but I'm
not sure what to do
with it."
"If you throw it, your
Dog will go fetch it. This
trains your dog, you see."
"Trains him for what?"
"For instance, he'll be
able to chase away wild
dogs if they try to sneak
in at night."
"How will I know if the
wild dogs come?"
"You won't. That's why it's
important to train your
Dog. You can also do one
more thing."
"What?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"How to protect your
animals from wild dogs at
night, right?
But first, I forgot one
thing. You can only train
your dog when he becomes
fully grown."
"You can't train puppies?
They don't like fetch?"
"No. Dogs grow quickly,
though, so don't worry."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Oh yeah, protecting your
animals from wild dogs."
"First of all, don't let
them outside. Wild dogs
can't cat inside the Barn."
"What else?"
"You can also build a Fence
with Lumber. Wild dogs
can't get through the
Fence unless part of it
is broken."
"Maybe I'll try it!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Is there any way to keep
wild dogs away from my
animals other than building
a Fence or keeping them
inside?"
"There is one more way..."
"Like what?"
"You can use your Sickle,
Hoe, Axe, or Hammer to
attack the dogs."
"That sounds so violent
..!"
"In that case, do what I
said yesterday."
"I will, bro."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"The Turnips and Cucumbers
I was growing turned a
funny color suddenly."
"That's because the season
has begun to change. If the
season changes, then some
things will wilt if it
becomes the wrong season
for them."
"But they were so close to
being harvested!"
"Too bad, but they're
wasted now. To avoid this,
make sure to harvest your
crops in the correct
season."
"And they looked so
good, too..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Can wilted crops be used
for anything?"
"Nothing at all. Just cut
them up with your
Sickle as soon as
you can."
"That's it...?"
"Yes. Cut them up with your
Sickle and plant Summer
vegetables as soon as
you can. "
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How do I use my Fishing
Rod?"
"Just equip it and press
the B Button, right?"
"I try that, but it doesn't
work!"
"Are you trying in a place
where you can fish?"
"Like where?"
"Like a river, or the sea,
or the lake behind the
mountain. Where were you
trying it?"
"In my house, or out in
the field..."
"No, you definitely can't
fish there, ha ha!"
"OK. I'll go try again."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I still can't manage to
catch any fish."
"Are you sure to push the
Button again when the
lure bobs?"
"No...I was just sort of
waiting."
"When a fish bites the
hook, the lure will bob up
and down. Push the button
quickly to reel in the
fish."
"I didn't know about that
part..."
"Sometimes it turns out
even then that the fish
got away, or it was only
garbage to begin with.
Fishing requires lots of
patience."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Typhoons are really scary,
aren't they?"
"You bet. You can't go
outside at all! That means
you can't take care of your
animals or crops. The wind
can also destroy your crops
or Fences."
"I can't do anything about
it?"
"Nope. Not even the Harvest
Sprites will go outside
during a typhoon. All you
can do is keep the animals
safe in their barn."
"I'll just pray one never
comes, then!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It looks like my Fence
broke. How do I fix it?"
"Sorry, but you can't fix
a broken Fence. You have
to throw it away."
"What a waste! How do I
do that? I tried to pick
it up, but I can't."
"You can't pick up broken
Fences. You have to smash
them with your Hammer.
Once you do, you can build
a new Fence."
"I have to smash the Fence
with my Hammer, huh?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard that the Hot
Spring can recuperate
Stamina and Fatigue. Is the
effect greater the longer
you stay in?"
"Up to a point. One hour is
usually plenty. Staying in
much longer won't make
a difference."
"I see."
"Do you know what else you
can do in the Hot Spring?"
"No, what?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
"I knew you'd say that!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"I was telling you about
other things you can do
in the Hot Spring, right?
You can throw an Egg in
to make a Spa-Boiled Egg."
"That sounds delicious!"
"Just throw the Egg in
from the hole in the Fence
near the Hot-Spring."
"That's all?"
"That's it. By the way,Spa-
Boiled Eggs are the same
no matter what kind of Egg
you throw in."
"It would be shame to use a
Golden Egg, then!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I want my Eggs to hatch
into baby Chicks. How do
I do that?"
"There's a place you can do
it in the Chicken Coop,
you know."
"You mean the thing on the
left side of the Chicken
Coop?"
"That's it! It's the
Incubator. If you put Eggs
in it, they'll hatch in
about 3 days.
You can't use the Incubator
if the Coop is already
full, though."
"The Chicken Coop can hold
4 Chickens before
expanding and 8 after,
right? Got it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How do I become friends
with the townspeople?"
"That will happen naturally
if you talk to them every
day."
"I try, but they don't seem
to like me much..."
"Don't worry.  They'll warm
up to you eventually.
If you want them to like
you even sooner, though,
you should give them
presents.
Everybody has different
likes and dislikes,
though, so you should
be careful."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I increased the size of my
house, but it doesn't seem
to make much difference..."
"You can buy more things
on TV Shopping, for one
thing."
"Like what?"
"Like a Refrigerator,
Shelf, Kitchen, and other
Kitchen goods."
"I know I can cook with a
Kitchen, but I don't have
much experience cooking!"
"It's easy, sis. To start
out, just follow recipes."
"Will you teach me?"
"Tomorrow."
"I'll be waiting, bro."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Sure, I'll teach you how
to cook. What Utensils
do you have? Wait, if you
don't even have a Kitchen,
then you won't have any
Utensils either."
"Why do I need Utensils?"
"You can cook many more
things if you have
Utensils."
"But they don't sell them
at the Supermarket..."
"They sell them on the
TV Shopping Network."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Oh yeah...Cooking,
right?"
"But first, I don't even
have a phone in my house.
How do I order from the
TV shopping Network?"
"Isn't there a phone some-
where close to you?"
"There is one at the Inn,
now that you mention it."
"Just use that one, then."
"OK. Thanks for your
help."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I bought a Kitchen and I
tried cooking, but every-
thing I make turns out
a "Failure". Why?"
"Do you actually follow a
recipe, or just throw some
things together?"
"Umm...The second,
I guess."
"You have to follow a
recipe, silly! Otherwise
you're likely to get a
"Failure"."
"But I don't know any
recipes! Where do I
learn them?"
"I'll teach you that
tomorrow."
"OK. I'll be waiting."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About learning recipes,
right? It's easy. You can
learn from the people in
town, or from the TV,
or other places, too.
A cooking progrm is on
on Tuesdays on the
left channel."
"Thanks, brother! I can't
wait to make something
good for a change!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I finally succeeded!"
"What did you make?"
"Fried Rice."
"Did you see the recipe on
TV?"
"Yes."
"With Fried Rice, you can
improvise and add lots of
other ingredients, you
know. Try it yourself."
"Once you gain some
experience, you can begin
to improvise and even
invent your own dishes."
"I can't wait to try!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You told me before about
watering my vegetables,
but do I have to even when
it rains?"
"No. That's why you welcome
the rain when you grow
lots of crops."
"But, the animals will get
unhappy out in the rain,
right?"
"Right. You can't have
everything your way!"
"By the way, snow is
basically like rain in
these ways."
"I can't grow crops in
Winter, though."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I finally bought a Cow!"
"Great!"
"But...I don't know how to
take care of it!"
"First I'll tell you how
to feed it.
Just take Fodder made from
cut farm grass to the
Feed Box in the Barn and
put it in."
"What if I don't have any
farm grass?"
"Then you'll have to buy it
from Yodel Farm. It costs
20G a bushel, which is
pretty expensive. So, it's
better to make it
yourself."
"Got it. What next?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Taking care of Cows,
right?
Today I'll tell you about
grazing your Cows outside.
First of all, you can't
pick Cows up, so you have
to push them from behind
to get them to leave the
Barn."
"But, sometimes I can't
get behind them!"
"That's when you use a
Bell to get them to move
toward you. Once they move
a few steps, you can move
behind them and push.
If the Cow's affection for
you isn't very high, it
might now come when it
hears the Bell, though."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Today I'll tell you more
about grazing your Cows.
If you have a field of
farm grass ready to be
harvested, your Cows will
graze on that. This saves
you the effort of cutting
it and bringing to to their
Feed Boxes. It takes a
few hours for them to
eat, though. "
"OK."
"Also, grass grows back
sooner after Cows graze
on it than when you cut it
with your Sickle."
"That's good to know!"
                  BEGINNER


"My brother is taking the
day off today, so no
Sorry."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it? But first,
let me apologize for
yesterday. I feel fine
now."
"In that case, can you
tell me some more?"
"Sure. More about taking
care of cows, then. Today
I'll tell you about
brushing them. First you
equip the Brush --"
"I don't have one!"
"The blacksmith will sell
you one. Just face the Cow
and use the Brush. The
Cow will love it if you
brush her once each day.
That's enough, though."
"Got it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Taking care of Cows,
right? Today I'll tell you
about milking them.
First you use the
Milker --"
"I don't have one!"
"The blacksmith will sell
you one. Just equip it,
then face the Cow and use
it to Milk her.
Cows only give Milk once
each day, remember."
"OK. Got it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Taking care of Cows,
right? There's something
about milking them I forgot
to tell you."
"What?"
"You can only milk
adult, non-pregnant Cows."
"Makes sense. I can't wait
to drink some nice fresh
Milk!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Taking care of Cows,
right?
I tried milking my Cow, but
I couldn't get any Milk."
"It was an adult?"
"Of course."
"And she was healthy?"
"She was, but she was
unhappy."
"I should have mentioned
that only happy Cows
give Milk, not sick or
unhappy Cows."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Taking care of Cows,
right? Today I'll tell you
about the size of Milk that
Cows give.
There are 3 sizes:
S, M, and L."
"How are they different?"
"They look different, and
their size is different
as well."
"What does that mean?"
"I'll explain tomorrow."
"I knew it!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Different sizes of Milk,
right?
Size determines the price
of Milk when you sell it.
The bigger the size, the
more gold you get."
"How do I get bigger
sizes?"
"I'll tell you all about
that tomorrow."
"Not again!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
"telling me yesterday..."
About how to get bigger
sizes of Milk, right?
If you take good care of
your Cows everyday, their
Milk will get better
naturally.
That means talking to them,
brushing them, and feeding
them everyday."
"Sounds like a lot of
work!"
"By the way, when the Milk
reaches G size --"
"What's that?"
"That's Golden Milk, which
only comes from Cows who
come in first place in
the Cow Festival.
There are other sizes too."
"I've only gotten S, M, and
L through regular daily
care."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I think my Cow got sick!"
"But I thought I told you
all about how to take care
of your Cows!"
"Well, I spent so much time
listening to you, this one
got sick!"
"In that case, I'll tell
you how to cure sick
Cows.
First, buy Animal Medicine
from Yodel Farm, then use
it on the sick Cow."
"Sounds easy to me."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I want more Cows. How do
I do that?"
"You can buy another Cow
from Yodel Farm, or use
Cow Miracle Potion."
"That's sold at Yodel Farm
too, right?"
"Right. If you use it on an
adult Cow, it'll become
pregnant. In about 20 days
a baby Calf will be born."
"Only adult Cows can get
pregnant? Makes sense
to me."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"How to make new Cows,
right?"
"Right. I used Cow Miracle
Potion, but it didn't
work."
"It's an adult Cow,
right?"
"Right."
"Is it healthy, then?"
"No, it's the Cow that was
sick."
"I should have said before,
but Cows must be healthy
to get pregnant."
"OK."
                  BEGINNER

"You know..."
"What's wrong? You don't
seem very well."
"I think I got sick..."
"Are you sure you aren't
exhausted? Are you doing
things like using Tools
in the rain or late at
night, or staying up too
late, or using Tools even
though you have no
Stamina left...?"
"Maybe...All of those."
"Some things you can do to
keep from getting sick are
bathing in the Hot Spring,
or sleeping well, or
lighting a fire in winter
with Lumber or Branches,
or even putting flowers in
your Vase."
"OK. I got all that."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I finally bought a
Sheep!"
"Congratulations!"
"But I'm not sure about how
to take care of it."
"It's not so different from
taking care of a Cow.
Only shipping is what you
can ship from it."
"How so?"
"You can use Clippers to
shear Wool from a Sheep.
Unlike Cows, though, you
can't shear Wool from
Sheep everyday."
"If you say so."
"I'll tell you more about
it tomorrow."
"I hate waiting..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Caring for Sheep, right?"
"After you shear a Sheep
once, its coat won't grow
back for a full 7 days.
You can't get more Wool
from it until then."
"I see."
"By the way, you can
buy Clippers from the
blacksmith."
"OK. I'll remember."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Is there anything
different about Sheep and
Cows, other than Wool?"
"Well...The Fodder is the
same, grazing them is the
same, brushing is the
same, giving them Animal
Medicine is the same --"
"What about making them
pregnant?"
"For that you need Sheep
Magic Potion. Cow Magic
Potion won't work, of
course!"
"Makes sense to me!"
"That's the only difference
I can think of."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I'm asking the Harvest
Sprites to do some work
for me --"
"That's great!"
"But, they don't do as
much as I want them to!"
"They just aren't used to
it yet. They have to learn
their jobs, too, you know."
"Once they get used to it,
they'll work better,
you mean?"
"Of course! Also, don't
forget to give them small
gifts as a thank-you when
they're done."
"I'll remember!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard that you can train
the Harvest Sprites.
Is it true?"
"Yes."
"How do you do it?"
"You do it through Mini-
Games. When you talk to a
Harvest Sprite, you get to
choose between asking them
to work or playing Mini-
Games. Choose the
Mini-Game."
"So I can just play Mini-
Games with them all day
to train them really
quickly!"
"No, you can only play once
a day. Sorry."
"That's too bad."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
About training the Harvest
Sprites, right? You see,
different Mini-Games train
different skills."
"Like what?"
"The "Harvest" Mini-Game"
makes them better at
harvesting, and the "Animal
Husbandry" and "Watering"
Mini-Games help them
improve at those things,
too."
"Makes sense to me."
"But, if you make them
fail at the game, they'll
actually get worse, so
be careful."
"I will!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I guess the Mailbox isn't
just for decoration, huh?"
"No, you'll get notices of
new items at the store,
or letters and cards.
So, it's a good idea to
check it every so often."
"You're right about that."
"Once you read letters,
they're stored in your
Bookshelf in case you want
to read them again."
"Thanks. I'll keep that
in mind."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"The town is so big, I
still get lost sometimes!"
"If you get lost, look at
the World Map on the Menu
Window after pressing
START.
That will show you the
layout of the town, as
well as where you are.
Soon enough you'll have
it all memorized."
"That's sure handy!"
"It will also show you
where your Dog is, which is
useful if you can't find
him."
"Great!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Can I buy back a Cow that
I've sold?"
"Sorry, but you can't.
I guess this means you
sold your Cow, right...?
"Yes, because I couldn't
afford Seeds for Fall
planting!"
"You still can't buy her
back, whatever the
reason. Sorry.
"And I had finally gotten
her to give me G size
Milk, too! What a waste!"
"Now you'll have to start
all over with a new Cow.
Good luck!"
"Oh, man..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What does the World Map
show, aside from me and
my Dog?"
"It also shows the location
of your Ball and Basket."
"Why those two?"
"Well, your animals always
stay on the farm, and the
Harvest Sprites only work
on the farm. What else
would you want on there?"
"How about the location of
all the townspeople?"
"Sorry, that's just
not possible."
"Too bad!..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard you can have
presents giftwrapped at
the Supermarket. What will
they wrap, exactly?"
"Just about anything you
could give to somebody."
"Even Stones or Weeds?"
"If you wanted to!
But, noboody wants to
receive Stones or Weeds.
And, if you wrap them up,
they'll be even less
happy with you.
They'll expect something
nice, you see."
"OK."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"My Dog is growing up nice
and strong!"
"That's great! So, he'll
chase away wild dogs when
they come?"
"You bet! He also comes
when I use my Bell to call
the Sheep and Cows that
I have grazing."
"You've been training him,
I see."
"I have. Right now we're
training everyday for the
Frisbee Tournament in
Summer."
"He must love all the
attention."
"He does. It's fun for me,
too."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"My Dog has grown up
big and strong, but my
Horse hasn't gotten very
much bigger."
"What? You have a Horse
now?"
"I forgot to tell you, I
guess. Sorry."
"That's OK. Anyway, Horses
take longer to grow than
Dogs. It takes them about
a year to get become full-
grown."
"What can I do with it
then?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow."
"If you say so."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About what fully grown
Horses could do, right?"
First, you can use Saddle-
bags to ship things.
Face the Horse and throw
what you want to ship,
and it will be done!"
"That's great! That means
I don't have to put every-
thing in my Rucksack,
go out to the Shipment box,
then take it all out again.
How convenient!"
"That's right."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About what fully grown
Horses could do, right?"
"You can also ride the
Horse, of course."
"That sounds fun!"
"It makes moving around
much faster. You can also
enter in Horse Races."
"That means I can bet on
myself to win, and then
win tons of prizes, too,
right!"
"That's right, sis."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Is there anything else a
fully grown Horse is good
for?"
"Not apart from shipping
Items or entering the
Horse Races, no."
"That's too bad..."
"I should tell you how to
take care of it, though.
Your Horse will like it if
you talk to it and ride it
everyday.
You should brush it every
day, too.
Also, put it in the Barn
on rainy days, just like
your other animals."
"All that seems easy
enough."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What's a "Cottage?"
"It's an extra house for
yourself that you can ask
Gotz the Woodcutter to
build for you. I hear
there's another way to
get one, but I'm not sure
what it is."
"How is a Cottage different
from my regular house?"
"Well, you can sleep there,
but there is no Kitchen,
so no Refrigerator or
Shelves. It's basically
just for fun."
"It's so expensive,
though!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about this really big
fish that I caught in
the sea last Summer.
It looked almost like a
squid, but huge..."
"That sounds like one of
the legendary "King
Fish." I bet you had to
have a really high level
Fishing Rod to catch it.
I hear they only come out
in Spring or Winter.
There are some other
conditions for catching
them, but I'm not sure
what they are."
"How many King Fish are
there?"
"6 in all, but that's all I
know about them. What
did you do with the fish
once you caught it?"
"I'll tell you that
tomorrow."
"That's my line!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what I was
telling you yesterday..."
"What you did with the
King Fish, right?"
"Right. It was way too
heavy for me to carry home,
so I just took an ink
rubbing of it and then
released it back into
the ocean."
"I can't wait to see that
rubbing! I'm proud of you,
sis."
"Gee, thanks!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard that no crops will
grow during Winter.
Is that true?"
"It is. Not even farm grass
will grow under all that
snow."
"So all I can do on the
farm during winter is take
care of my animals?"
"Yes. You can also do
other things you don't
normally have time for."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You said that since I
can't grow crops in Winter,
I ought to use the time for
something I usually don't
have time for.
Do you have any
suggestions?"
"How about digging in one
of the mines?"
"Now that you mention it,
I haven't done that
at all!"
"Or, you could spend all
day fishing, for instance."
"That sounds like fun,
too!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About what to do in
Winter, right?"
"Is there anything else to
do, besides fishing and
mining?"
"Let's see...You can't farm
anyway, so you could
upgrade your Tools. Or,
you could spend the time
talking with the towns-
people."
"I guess there are lots of
things to do in Winter!"
"What do you want to
do most, sis?"
"Let's see..."
"Think about it, and tell
me tomorrow."
"OK."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I know what I want to do
most in Winter, now."
"What is it?"
"I think I want to dig lots
in the mines."
"That's a good idea.
Should I tell you more
about them?"
"Yes please!"
"OK. That'll be
tomorrow's subject."
"I can't wait!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About mining, right?
First, there are two mines
you can go to. One is past
the Hot Spring behind the
mountain."
"Next to the waterfall,
right?"
"That's it. The other one
is on the island on the
far side of the lake."
"Wait a second!
How do I get to it,
then?"
"You have to wait until
Winter for the lake to
freeze, then walk over
it then."
"I hope I don't slip..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About mining, right?
Today I'll tell you about
stairs going down that you
find when digging in the
mine.
Go down the stairs to get
to deeper levels of the
mine.
The deeper you go, the
more valuable things you'll
find, so take these stairs
whenever you find them."
"How do I get back to
the surface, though?"
"Don't worry. You'll see
stairs going up, too."
"Thanks. I feel much
better now!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About mining, right?
"Today I'll tell you how to
do actual digging.
Use your Hoe to dig up the
ground of the mine.
You'll be able to tell
where you've dug because
it will look the same as
a tilled field.
You only need to dig the
same piece of earth once.
Digging more than that
won't have an effect.
"So, if nothing comes out,
go on to the next patch
and try. I get it!"
"Also, use your Hammer to
smash Stones in the mine.
Sometimes Ore will come
out."
"OK."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Can I wear the jewelry
Saibara makes myself?"
"Why? Do you think that
doing so would increase
your HP or something?"
"I thought it might...
Or, maybe just make me
look prettier...
"Sorry, but you can't wear
the jewelry yourself.
You can ship it, though.
I wouldn't want to sell it!
Not after using all that
Orichalc and gold to have
it made in the first
place!"
"You can sell it for a lot
of money, though!"
"Hmm...Naww, I couldn't.
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I found something else in
the mine, but I'm not sure
whether it's rare and
valuable or not."
"What is it?"
"An ore called
Adamantite."
"That's great, sis! You can
give it to Saibara and
ask him to make you a
Maker with it."
"What's a Maker?"
"There are three kinds of
Makers: Cheese, Yarn, and
Mayonnaise."
"You'll tell me more about
them tomorrow, right?"
"How'd you know, sis?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"The Makers, right?"
"Right. Will you tell me
what they do?"
"The Mayonnaise Maker makes
Mayonnaise, the Cheese
Maker Cheese, and the Yarn
Maker Yarn! That's all
there is to it, sis!"
"Now I feel a little
foolish for asking...How do
you use them, though?"
"I'll tell you that
tomorrow."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"About using the 3 kinds of
Makers, right?
Well, to use the Mayonnaise
Maker, just toss in Eggs.
To use the Cheese Maker,
just throw in Milk.
Finally, to use the Yarn
Maker, just throw in some
Wool. That's it.
By the way, the size of the
Mayo, Cheese, or Yarn that
comes out is equivalent to
the size of what you put
in the Maker to begin
with."
"I get it now."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Where do the Makers go?"
"The Mayonnaise Maker goes
in the Chicken Coop, and
the Cheese and Yarn Makers
in the Barn."
"That makes it easy to put
the Eggs, Milk, or Wool in
them, doesn't it?"
"Right. That way you don't
have to carry them far.
Except maybe if you're
grazing your animals."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"How much does it cost
to have one of those
Makers made?"
"It requires 20,000G and
a piece of Adamantite."
"That's very expensive!"
"It is indeed. But, once
you buy one, it never
breaks, and you can use it
forever to increase the
sale price of your farm
goods. You'll also be able
to cook more things."
"I see. That's still a lot,
though...!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Snowstorms are really
scary, aren't they?"
"You bet. You can't go
outside at all! That means
you cant take care of your
animals or crops. The wind
can also destroy your crops
or Fences."
"I can't do anything about
it?"
"Nope. Not even the Harvest
Sprites will go outside
during a snowstorm. All you
can do is keep the animals
safe in their barn."
I'll just pray one never
comes, then, just like a
typhoon!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Can I only find Orichalc
and Adamantite Ores in
the mine by the Spring?"
"That's right.
In that mine, all you'll
find is Mystrile,
Adamantite, and Orichalc."
"What about in the mine
on the lake?"
"There you can find other
Ores that you can ship."
"So, if I want to make
money, I should go to the
lake, and if I want to
upgrade or make things,
I should go to the spring,
right?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I bought a Sheep and a Cow
at Yodel Farm. The Sheep
is full grown, but
not the Cow. Why?"
"Cows grow more slowly than
Sheep. That's why the Cows
that Yodel Farm sells
aren't full grown yet."
"But Cows won't give Milk
unless they're full grown,
right?
I guess I'll just have to
wait until it gets older!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You can't watch TV when
there's a typhoon or a
snowstorm, right?"
"Right. Why?"
"Will TV programs I miss
because of the weather be
shown the next day, or
maybe the next week?"
"No, they just skip those
shows and go on with the
next one."
"So, there's no way I can
see shows I missed?"
"Not until they
re-broadcast the whole
series, no."
"That's disappointing!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I've been wondering...
what is it I eat every
morning?"
"Don't you know yourself?
Basically, Bread or Rice
Or, anything else that
you've ever made before."
"So, I should just make
something that recuperates
a lot of Stamina and
Fatigue every morning
then, right?"
"That sounds about right."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I was up late at night
and wanted to watch TV,
but nothing was on.
Why not?"
"All programs stop at
midnight. That's why."
"Aww...And I used to like
to stay up late watching
TV, too."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What determines how
affection level changes
when you give gifts?"
"Well, whether they like
the gift or not, for one
thing. Also, if you give
them gifts too often,
they'll have less effect.
And, people will be more
appreciative if the gift is
on their birthday (assuming
they like it, of course)."
"How do I figure out
people's birthdays?"
"You could give them
gifts everyday and watch
their reaction...?"
"There's got to be a
better way!"
"Maybe there's someone
you can ask, then...?"
"I can't believe even you
don't know, bro!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday...
Do you know what people
in town like and don't
like?"
"Sorry, but I don't.
But, it's also impossible
to give everyone every-
thing and watch their
reactions..."
"You bet it is!"
"Still, it's a good idea to
try giving people some
things, and you may get
the hang of it."
"I see."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Do you know what day it is
today?"
"Sure. It's the Winter
Thanksgiving Festival."
"Yes. That mean...
Here you go, Chocolate!"
"Gee sis, thanks! I'll try
it right now...Mmm....
It's delicious! "
"I'm glad you like it!"
"I do. Now I'll have to
top it for the next Spring
Thanksgiving Festival!"
"Great!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"The Harvest Goddess came
and told me when my
Pedometer reached 10,000
steps."
"Oh yeah, I thought I heard
something like that.
She might also come when
you ship a certain number
of things, or catch a
certain number of fish."
"Well, she herself told me
that I didn't receive
anything special for it.
It's no big deal, I guess."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You don't save when you
sleep this time, right?"
"Right. Instead, select
Diary in the Menu Window
or investigate the
Diary in your house.
"So I can save anywhere
and anytime, right?"
"Well, you can't open up
the Menu Window when
you're on your Horse,
remember."
"OK, so that's the only
time I can't save, right?
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What's the difference
between my Refrigerator
and Shelves?"
"You use them for different
things. Basically, things
you eat go in the
Refrigerator and every-
thing else goes in the
Shelf."
"I see."
"Also, you can't put Dogs,
Chickens, or Baskets in
either one."
"That makes sense."
"Also, you can put 99 of
each Item in each space,
which is more than the
Rucksack."
"That's a lot!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"You told me yesterday that
I could fit 99 Items in
each space in my Shelves
or Refrigerator. I tried,
but it doesn't work."
"That doesn't make any
sense...What was it?"
"Eggs..."
"If they were different
kinds of Eggs, then you
can't put them in the
same space."
"I should have thought
of that myself!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Can you use something
other than food Items to
cook with?"
"Sure. Just put it in your
Rucksack and then select
it. But I've never heard
of anything like that
in a recipe!"
"But if you can use some-
thing other than food in a
recipe, then maybe there's
something good you can
make..."
"It's a possibility, I
guess..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"My Chicken died..."
"Of sickness?"
"Yes..."
"I forgot to put it in the
Barn when it started
raining...I feel awful!"
"You know, these things
cause your reputation in
town to go down."
"Really?"
"When it's your fault.
Not when animals die of
old age, of course."
"I'll be more careful
in the future!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I ate a "Power Berry",
but I'm not sure exactly
what it is."
"It increases your maximum
Stamina."
"So I can eat as many as
I can?"
"There are only 10 in all,
and each one increases your
Stamina by 10. That makes
100 in all."
"How much do I start
out with?"
"100."
"So I can increase my"
Stamina by 100%.
That's great!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"Is there any way to find
out how many Power
Berries I've eaten?"
"If you look at the Farm
Property page in your
Earnings, then there's a
picture of you and your
name, right?"
"Right."
"Under that are some red
circles."
"Uh-huh."
"Each one of those means
one Power Berry that
you've eaten."
"That's easy enough,
I suppose.
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"If the red circles in my
Earnings mean Power
Berries, what do the blue
circles next to them mean?"
"Those are the number of
Mysterious Berries you've
eaten. You get them from
the Kappa. Which, I see
you've already done..."
"What do the Mystic Berries
do then?"
"They make you slower to
Fatigue, so you'll collapse
from overwork less."
"I didn't know that! I just
thought it tasted good!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What are the heart-shaped
symbols on different pages
of my Earnings book?"
"Those show you levels of
affection people have for
you. There can be as many
as 10."
"So, if someone has 10
hearts for me, then they
like me incredibly much?"
"That's about it."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I saw something strange on
sale at Gotz's place."
"What was it?"
"It was called "Golden"
Lumber." Do you know
what that is?"
"I've heard that putting
that in your field can get
the townspeople really
mad at you for showing
off."
"But why is it so
expensive?"
"Think about it this way:
only someone who wanted
to boast about how rich
they were would buy a piece
of Golden Lumber, much less
put it in their yard for
everybody to see!"
"I'm tempted..."
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I bought the Golden Lumber
and put it in my yard --"
"Why would you do that!"
"Don't get so mad at me!
It wouldn't fit in the
Woodbin, you see."
"That's because it's not
like regular Lumber. You
can put it in your Shelves
instead, show-off..."
"I don't like everybody
calling me names like you,
so I think I'm going to
move it as soon as I can!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"I heard that I can
communicate with the Game-
Cube version of the game."
"That's true."
"How do I do it?"
"First, do you know how to
find the Harvest Goddess?
"No."
"I'll tell you that first,
then.
You know where the mine by
the spring on Mother's Hill
is, right?"
"Behind the Hot Spring,
right?"
"Right. Well, the Harvest
Goddess appears in the
spring to the right of
that."
"Got it. Be sure to tell me
how to communicate
tomorrow, OK?"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
About how to communicate
with the GameCube, right?
First, you have to throw an
offering into the Goddess's
spring to make her appear.
Then,select"Communicate".
That's about all there is
to it, sis.
I've never done it, but
that's what I hear,
anyway."
"I can't wait to give it
a try and see if She
really does appear!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"What's the Blue Feather?"
"What?! You mean they're
already selling it at the
Supermarket?"
"Yeah, I've seen boys give
it to girls a few times,
now."
"Oh, I see. The Blue
Feather is what people use
when they want to propose
marriage."
"So, when those girls
accepted the Feather, they
were saying "Yes" ?
How romantic!"
                  BEGINNER

"Hey big bro!"
"What is it?"
"It's about what you were
telling me yesterday..."
"Is there something about
the Blue Feather you don't
understand yet?"
"I told you they were
selling it at the Super-
market, but they didn't
have any when I went to
look!"
"They wouldn't sell one to
a girl, sis!"
"So the only way I can get
one is to have someone
propose to me?"
"That's right."
"That's no fair!"

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the wandering salesman,
Won. Lately he's staying
at Zack's house in Mineral
Beach, where he's selling
his wares.
You can buy Seeds, Dog
Training Tools, or Jewels
of Truth from him.
Some of the Seeds he has
they don't carry at the
Supermarket.
He also has Balls and
Frisbees for Dogs. You
can find books on those at
the Library, I think.
I'm not sure what Jewels
of Truth are for, but I
think you can get some-
thing when you collect
9..."
"I wonder what it is?..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me about controls!"
"OK, first I'll teach you
to move around on the Map
Screen.
Control Pad:
*Run or Walk"
"Why 'or', Sis?"
"You can decide which the
Control Pad does with the
Movement Settings in the
Diary in the Menu Window.
Option 1 is Walk, and
Option 2 is Run."
"Then how do you perform
the opposite action?"
"With the R Button to:
Run in Option 1, or
Walk in Option 2."
"I see! You can use the
Control Pad to Walk and
the R Button to Run,
or the other way around!"
"That's it!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
moving around on the Map
Screen."

A Button:
*Talk to people
*Investigate
*Pick up something
*Throw something

By the way, if you talk to
someone when you're
holding something, you'll
give it to the person."
"You mean give a gift?"
"Yes, but you can't give
away animals, or really
important things, like
Baskets."
"I see..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
the A Button."
You can investigate things
like Signs, or Walls, or
Bookshelves to see what
they have in or on them.
Of course, sometimes you
won't find anything.
Also, you shouldn't
investigate when you're
holding something."
"Why not?"
"Because if it turns out
that there's nothing there,
you'll end up throwing
what you're holding!"
"Ah, of course!"
"Also, you can't pick up
some things that are too
heavy, like huge Stones."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
moving around on the Map
Screen.

Actually, what I told you
yesterday about using the
A Button wasn't entirely
true. The A Button
does things not when you
press it, but when you
release it, you see."
"What do you mean?"
"For instance, if you face
a Sign and investigate it
to read it, you won't
actually see what it says
until you release the A
Button."
"So you didn't tell the
truth yesterday?"
"I was just trying to
make it easier to
understand!"
"Hmm..."
"And, if you hold the A
Button down and press
another button, it will
have a different effect.
We're out of time for
today, though."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about other
controls while holding down
the A Button, right?

Hold down the A Button,
then press the B Button to
switch to the Tools and
Items Screen, or press the
L Button to switch Items
you're holding."
"What do you mean?"
"After holding down the A
Button and pressing the L
Button, use the Control
Pad or the L Button to
switch what you're holding
with something in your
Rucksack.
Of course, you can't put
things like animals in
your Rucksack!"
"So you can switch Items
you're holding on the Map
Screen. That's useful.
Do you have to hold down
the A Button the whole
time?"As long as you hold down
either the A Button or the
L Button, you'll be able
to keep switching Items."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about other
controls while holding down
the A Button, right? "

If you press the R Button
while holding down the A
Button, it will cancel the
A Button, and you will
return to walking or
running."
"You mean Option 1 or 2,
which you choose in the
Movement Settings in the
Diary in the Menu Window,
right?"
"Yeah, where you can set
which controls to use for
walking and which for
running.
I'll teach you about some-
thing else tomorrow."
"OK. Bye now."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
moving around on the Map
Screen.

B Button:
*Use equipped Item
*Put away what you're
   holding
Use equipped Items is easy
enough. You can't use
anything if you're not
holding it!"
"Other than things like
Seeds, Animal Medicine,
and Cow and Sheep Miracle
Potion, you can use a Tool
as many times as you like,
right?"
"That's true, but you do
use up your Stamina."
"What does that mean?"
"I'll explain that
tomorrow!"
"OK..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was explaining that
using Tools uses up
Stamina, wasn't I? I think
you should learn about the
basic controls first."
"That's no fair..."
"Now back to putting things
away with the B Button on
the Map Screen.
It doesn't matter what you
have equipped, just what
you're holding.
Of course, you can't put
some things in your
Rucksack because they're
too large. Also, your
Rucksack can become full."
"I see..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
moving around on the Map
Screen.

Just as with the A Button,
it's not pushing the B
Button that activates it,
but releasing it.
You can do different things
by pushing other buttons
while holding down the B
Button. For example, push
the A Button while holding
down the B Button to move
to the Tools and Items
Screen..."
"Didn't you mention that
for the A Button, too?"
"Yes, good memory. You can
view the inside of your
Rucksack by pushing both
the A and B Buttons in
whichever order you like."
"I see!"
"That's it for today."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about other
controls while holding down
the B Button, right?

Press the L Button while
holding down the B Button
to switch Tools equipped."
"Is that like switching
Items with the A Button?"
"Exactly! Use the Control
Pad or the L Button to
decide which Tool in your
Rucksack you want to switch
the current one with.
As long as you hold down
either the B Button or the
L Button, you'll be able
to keep switching Tools."
"That's the same as with
Items, too!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about other
controls while holding down
the B Button, right? "

You can switch Tools by
holding down the B Button
and pressing the L Button,
but not if you're holding
something."
"Why not?"
"Because if it's food,
you have to eat it!"
"I see!"
"If you press the R Button
while holding down the B
Button, it will cancel the
B Button, and you will
return to walking or
running."
"That's the same as for
the A Button, right?"
"Right. Option 1 or 2,
which you choose in the
Movement Settings in the
Diary in the Menu Window.
That's it for the B Button,
so I'll teach you about
something else tomorrow."
"OK. Bye bye."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more about
controls!"
"OK, here's more about
moving around on the Map
Screen.

L Button:
EWhistle

First, you only Whistle
when you release the L
Button, not when you press
it. Also, if you just use
the L  Button, you'll call
both your Dog and Horse
to you. If you press the
Control Pad Up or Left at
the same time, though, you
will only call your Dog.
If you press the Control
Pad Down or Right at the
same time, you will
only call your Horse."
"I see..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the L Button."
"It seemed difficult
just to whistle..."
"Remember, you can just use
the L Button, but that will
call both your Dog and
Horse."
"I guess you're right."
"If you hold down the L
Button and press the B
Button, you can change
Tools equipped. If you
press the A Button instead,
you can change Items..."
"You taught me that before,
right?"
"Right. Finally, hold down
the L Button and press
START to view the Town
Map, or SELECT to view the
Farm Map."
"What are those?"
"I'll leave that for
tomorrow!"
                   ADVANCED

explain  the Menu
Window Controls.
All you do is move the
cursor Left and Right with
the Control Pad, switch
to the selected screen with
the A Button, or close the
Menu Window with the B

"You don't use the other
buttons?"
"Nope! I'll explain about
your diary tomorrow."
"If you say so."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was telling you about
the Diary in the Menu
Window, right?

The main purpose of the
Diary is to save and load
games."
"What else?"
"You can also change these:
EMovement Settings
EClock Display
EName Display
I explained Movement
Setttings before. It's
where you determine which
buttons to use to walk
and run.
Clock Display determines
whether or not the time and
date is shown in the lower
right hand corner when you
are moving.
Face and Name Display

yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be on
the Tools and Items
Screen.

The Tools and Item Screen
shows what you have in
your Rucksack. You can also
change what you're holding
or equipped with here.
You can do this on the Map
Screen, too, don't forget.
This Screen is most useful
for checking your
possessions."
"I see."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more

Today's lesson will be on
the Tools and Items
Screen controls.

Basically...
EControl Pad: Move cursor
EA Button: Enter
EB Button: Cancel
EL/R Buttons: Move cursor

The Control Pad moves the
cursor, and the B Button
closes the Map Screen and
returns you to the Menu
Window.
Press the L Button to move
the cursor more slowly,
and the R Button to
move it more quickly.
Got all that?"

yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be on
the Town Map.

The Town Map also shows
where you and your Dog are.
Also, it will show the
position of your Ball and
Basket if you have them.
You can use this to help
you look for things you've
lost.
Of course, the map will
only show you the
approximate location, not
exactly where it is. So,
you'll still have to do
some looking on your own.
Also, if it's someone
else's house, the map can't
show you what floor your
lost item is on."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be on
the Farm Map.

The Farm Map Screen shows
an overview of your farm.
It's useful to look at when
you forgot what you planted
where, for instance."

cursor, and the B Button
closes the Map Screen and
returns you to the Menu

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be on
your Earnings.

The Earnings Screen is
divided up into many pages.
The first one shows your
name, how much gold you
have, the number of
your animals, bushels of
Feed, and Lumber, and
the affection of your pet.

The next pages are animal
list pages, one for
Chickens, Cows, and Sheep,
If you have them. "

their enthusiasm is for the
job, and whether each is
doing a job for you or not.
Job enthusiasm is shown
with a gauge, in the order
of Watering, Harvest, and
Animal Husbandry.

The next page is your
Income and Expenses.
Income and Expenses for
this month is at the very
top. Below that is your
daily Income and Expenses
for the current season.
At the very bottom is your
Income and Expenses for the
last 3 seasons.
The last page shows the
levels of all your Tools."

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be
more on the Earnings
Screen.

Like I said yesterday, the
final page on the Earnings
screen shows the levels of
all your Tools in numbers
and a gauge.
When the gauge becomes
full, a small picture of an
Ore will be shown below
that Tool. That ore tells
you what level the Tool
can be upgraded to.
Remember that you don't
need to upgrade right away.
You could wait to upgrade
a Tool until it became
ready for a Mystrile
upgrade,
if you wanted to!"
"Yeah, but that would take
forever!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be
more on the Earnings

On the Tool Level List,
there is a number to the
right of each gauge.
This percentage shows
the experience level of the

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be
about the Memo Screen.

The Memo helps you remember
what you've done:
*Number of shipments
*Number of Fish caught
*Other
There's one page for each."
"That's all?"
"It's more than it looks
like at first glance.
For instance, there are
over 100 types of Items to
be shipped, and many kinds
of Fish to be caught.
The memo keeps track of
each individually, but I'll
explain more tomorrow."
"OK."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be
more about the Memo Screen.

I was going to tell you
even more about the Memo
Screen, but it doesn't have
a direct bearing on game-
play, so I decided against
it. It's more fun that
way."

"Awww, sis!... By the way,
how high do the counters
for shipping and fishing
go...?"
"That's a secret! It sure
isn't 999. That much I can
say."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Menu Window.
Today's lesson will be
about the Memo Screen
controls.

"Flip pages with the Left
and Right Control Pad, and
scroll with the Up and Down
Control Pad.
Press the L Button with the
Up and Down Control Pad to
scroll more slowly, or
the R Button to scroll more
quickly."
"Are the controls for these
Screens all the same?"
"You catch on quick!"
"I knew it!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Message Window.
The top left of the Message
Window shows the face of
the person you're talking
to, and the top right
shows their name."
"It's not fair our names
and faces aren't shown!"
"...Maybe, but you can also
choose not to display it."
"You mean in the Diary,
right?"
"Good memory. Actually,
you can change this when
the messages are shown,
too."
"You'll tell me how
tomorrow, right...?"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about erasing the names and
faces in the Message
Window."
"You were going to teach me
how to do it without going
to the Diary, right?"
"Well, that's what I said,
but it turns out I was
wrong.
The Diary is the only place
to do it. Sorry!..."
"Thanks a lot, sis!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
things in your home
including some things you
might not have yet.
The first is the Bed.
This doesn't need very much
explanation, I know.
Just investigate it,
and you wake up the next
morning."
"But, why can't I just work
on the farm until morning
comes? I can save at any
time, right?"
"You'll collapse if you
work like that!"
"Really?"
"I'll explain more later."
"Bye now."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I was saying that if
you don't get enough sleep,
you'll end up collapsing.
If you use any Tool, you
lose a bit of Stamina.
If you run out of Stamina,
you collapse.
That's not such a big deal.
But, if you keep on using
a Tool when you have no
Stamina, you'll build up
Fatigue.
If you build up Fatigue
until you collapse, you'll
be carried to the Clinic.
It takes a full day to
recover then!"
"What does that have to do
with not sleeping?"
"I'll explain it
tomorrow."
"OK..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I was saying that if
you don't get enough sleep,
you'll end up collapsing.
If you don't get sleep,
Fatigue builds up.
So, even if you don't do
any work, you'll end up
being carried to the Clinic
if you stay up all night."
"Don't you recuperate
Stamina and Fatigue?"
"You do, if you:
EEat food
EEnter a Hot Spring
ESleep
There are other ways to
recuperate as well, but
I'll tell you about them
later."
"OK. You build up Fatigue
when you use Tools when
your Stamina is drained,
or when you don't sleep,
right?"
"Right."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you about
how you build up Fatigue.
Aside from what I told you
yesterday, you also build
up Fatigue when you use a
Tool either in the rain
or late at night.
Also, I forgot to tell you
that some foods can
drain your Stamina and
cause Fatigue."
"What food could do
that?!"
"Two things are Poison
Mushrooms, or failed
dishes. There are some
others, too."
"I'd better be careful!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about things in your home
(including some things you
might not have yet).
Now I'll explain the
Diary. This is the same
as the Diary in the Menu
Window. You can use it
to save or load games, or
make various settings."
"Wouldn't it just be easier
to use START and go to
the Diary from the Menu
Window...?"
"Sometimes people just like
a change of pace,
that's all!"
"If you say so..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Calendar.
It's useful for finding out
about the season's events."
"How do you use it?"
"Investigate it to display
the Calendar Screen.
Use the Control Pad to move
the cursor to the day you
want to check, then press
the A Button.
The Message Window will
show what's planned then.
Use the B Button to step
back from the Calendar.
Oh yeah, days with events
on them have a helpful
symbol on them."
"Thanks. Very useful!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the TV.
You can use the TV to watch
many interesting programs.
The Control Pad is your
remote control:
*Up: Weather forecast
*Down: This program
*Right: News
*Left: Variety programs
You can change channels at
any time, do don't feel
like you have to watch the
whole thing.
The B Button turns the TV
off, and the other buttons
fast forward the messages.
That's all there is to it!"
"Easy enough, I guess."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
different TV programs.
First is the Weather
forecast. It's usually
fairly accurate, so make
a habit of checking it
every morning when you
wake up.
Next is the News, which
tells you what events are
going on this season.
The day before or the day
of an event, the news
sometimes covers that
event only. So, it's a
good idea to remember
events as much as you
can." "I see."

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about TV Stations.

*Wednesday: Aaron Changes
*Thursday: Star Lilly,
  Bandit Girl
*Friday: Mechabot Ultror
*Saturday: TV Shopping
  Network or St. Emerald
  Academy
Well, that's it for today!"
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about TV Stations.
"Fishing Hour" has
information about fishing,
and "Dueling Chefs" has
information about cooking.
You might find them
useful.
The TV Shopping Network
is where you order a whole
lot of stuff, so it's very
useful.
The other programs are just
there fore your enjoyment.
They don't really have a
specific purpose. "
"I see..."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about TV Stations.
They stop broadcasting
late at night; midnight
to be exact.
Also, the signal won't come
through on stormy days."
"So I can't watch TV
then?"
"No, you just have to get
rest and wait for the next
day to start."
"That's too bad!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Bookshelf.
The Bookshelf is where you
keep Books or Letters you
have already read.
If you investigate the
Bookshelf, you can select
between View Books or
View Letters. You can then
choose which one to read.
You won't have any Letters
at the very beginning, but
check your Mailbox for
them.
You do start out with some
Books, and you'll get
more over time."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Tool Box.
This is where you can keep
all your Tools. 8 fit on
each page, and there are
8 pages, so you can have
64 kinds Tools in all. You
can hold up to 99 of each
kind of Tool.
This is useful for things
like Seeds, which you need
to stock for next year."
"If I have enough gold to
stock up, that is!"
"The first year could be
tough, but..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Refrigerator.
It's where you keep
Ingredients for cooking.
Just like the Tool Box,
you can fit 99 of each
kind of Item. This is
much more than what
your Rucksack holds.
Also, this time you won't
get a Refrigerator just by
expanding your home.
You'll need to buy it on
the TV Shopping Network.
Expanding your home is a
little cheaper than last
time, but you have to pay
for the Refrigerator,
so the whole process ends
up costing little more."
"OK. I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Shelf.
This is where you keep
Items that aren't for
cooking.
Just like the Tool Box,
you can fit 99 of each
kind of Item. This is
much more than what
your Rucksack holds.
Also, this time you won't
get a Shelf either just by
expanding your home.
You'll need to buy it on
the TV Shopping Network.
Expanding your home is a
little cheaper than last
time, but you have to pay
for the Shelf,
so the whole process ends
up costing little more."
"OK. I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
controls for your Shelf"
and Refrigerator.
Basically:
EControl Pad: Move cursor
EA Button: Enter
EB Button: Cancel
EL/R Buttons: Move cursor
  between Items, Shelf, and
  Refrigerator Screens.
The controls are a lot
like the Tools and Items
Screen. Also, select an
Item and then press START
to throw it away."
"Why would you do that?"
"If you wanted to throw
away all 99 of one kind of
Item, for instance."
"Hmm...It must be tough
deciding what to keep
and what to throw away."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Kitchen.
You can't cook unless you
have a Kitchen. Of course,
you'll also need Utensils
to make most things.
Buy both Kitchen and
Utensils on the TV Shopping
Network.
You can't buy Utensils
until you have a Kitchen,
and you can't buy a Kitchen
unless you have a
Refrigerator and Shelves.
I'll cover Utensils more
tomorrow."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Utensils.
There are 8 Utensils:
EKnife
EFrying Pan
EPot
EMixer
EWhisk
ERolling Pin
EOven
ESeasoning Set
You'll need different
Utensils to cook each
recipe. You can learn
recipes by experimenting
yourself, by talking to
people in town, or by
watching TV."
"Somehow I don't think I'd
be too successful
experimenting..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
cooking.
First, enter your Kitchen
without holding anything."
"Why not?"
"Because you'll end up
holding what you make.
When you enter the Kitchen,
you'll have these choices:
ECook
EView Recipes
EExit
First I'll explain Cook.
When you select it, you'll
see the Utensil Window.
We're out of time today, so
I'll finish tomorrow."
"I hate waiting!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about the Utensil Window
when you select Cook in
the Kitchen. The controls
are basically like other
screens. But, things change
a bit when you select
Seasoning Set and the
Seasoning Window appears."
"That's where I can choose
to use Sugar, Salt,
Vinegar, Soy Sauce, or
Miso, right?"
"Right. Don't use them
indiscriminately, though,
or your dish won't turn out
well at all!
Once you select Seasonings,
you'll move to the
Ingredient Window. I'll
explain that tomorrow."
"Aww...Not more waiting!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about what happens when
you investigate the
Kitchen, select Cook, then
select Seasonings
to use.
The Ingredient Window
opens, which is where you
choose which Ingredients to
use from the Refrigerator
or your Rucksack."
"Can I choose anything?
Even things in my Rucksack
that aren't edible?"
"You can, but no guarantees
on how it'll turn out!
The controls are like the
other screens.
Once you've chosen at least
one Ingredient, press START
to move to the Utensil
Window."
"More tomorrow, right?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about cooking. After
investigating the Kitchen
and selecting Cook, then
choosing Utensils and
Ingredients, you have the
following choice:
EUse these Ingredients
ERestart from Ingredients
ERestart from Utensils
The bottom two are easy
to understand. The first
one starts the actual
cooking, and what comes
next depends on what
the outcome is.
I'll explain it tomorrow."
"Not again..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about what happens when
you cook something.
If the recipe doesn't work,
you'll get a message
telling about your failure.
If it was your first time
making something, you'll
get a message offering to
write down the recipe.
If you make a dish exactly
the same way you made it
before, you'll get a
message telling you it's
been made.
Finally, if you make the
same dish but change it,
you'll get a message
offering to rewrite the
recipe."
"Is that it for now?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about cooking.
When you investigate the
Kitchen and then select
View Recipes, you'll see a
list of recipes you've made
before.
Of course, you won't see
this if you've never made
anything successfully.
Once you see the list, use
the cursor and the A
Button to select the dish
you want to make.
The next message depends
on whether or not you
have all the right
Ingredients."
"Let me guess: More on that
tomorrow, right...?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you more
about what happens after
you choose to make a
recipe you've already
made before.
If you have all the right
Ingredients, you'll see the
following choice:
EFollow the recipe
EImprovise recipe
EMake another recipe
The first option makes
the dish.
The second option will
bring you back to the
Utensil Window, remembering
the Utensils for the recipe
and the Ingredients you've
chosen.
The third option will
bring you back to the
recipe selection screen.
That's it for today."
"How much more is
there...?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"OK. I'll teach you about
what happens when you don't
have all the Ingredients
for the recipe you've
chosen to make. The
selection will be:
EImprovise recipe
EMake another recipe
The first option will
bring you back to the
Utensil Window, remembering
the Utensils for the recipe
and the Ingredients you've
chosen.
The second option will
bring you back to the
recipe selection screen.
That's it for today."
"We're done with cooking
now, right...?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Clock.
You have to buy it from
the TV Shopping Network."
"Does it just tell the
time...that's all?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"But you can see the time
anyway, in the bottom right
corner of the screen!"
"Some people just like to
keep Clocks in their house,
OK?! Consider it fashion."
"Whatever you say, sis..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Mirror.
It will tell you messages
when you look in it, but
it serves no real purpose.
It's basically just for
looks. Buy it from the
TV Shopping Network when
you have extra money."
"I don't think that'll
be anytime soon..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Vase."
You can use it to hold
flowers."
"Does that do any good?"
"It does! Flowers will help
you recuperate Stamina and
Fatigue in the morning when
you wake up.
Just how much depends on
the kind of flower.
Also, flowers will wilt
quickly if you don't use
them in the right season.
The wandering salesman
Won will come by once in
a while to sell you
the Vase."
"Got it, sis."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you how
to use your Vase."
All you have to do is
investigate the Vase while
holding a bunch of flowers
to put them in it.
If there are already some
in the Vase, you'll throw
them away automatically,
so be careful. You'll be
asked for confirmation,
though, so don't worry
about it too much."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Fireplace."
You'll get one when you add
a second floor to your
home.
Throw Branches or Lumber
on it to start a fire and
cheer up your home."
"Why does just throwing
wood in the Fireplace start
the fire, sis?"
"Never mind the small
stuff! The important thing
is that your home will heat
up, which will recuperate
Stamina in Winter but
cause it in all other
seasons."
"Got it."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Carpet.
You can buy it from the
TV Shopping Network to
put in your home.
It really does serve no
purpose other than
decoration, though."
"So you really don't need
to buy it at all?..."
"Maybe when you have
extra money."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Large Bed.
It's really just a larger
Bed than your first one."
"So it doesn't have any
use, either?"
"You can't get married
without a Large Bed. That's
where your wife sleeps."
"Why does she get the Large
Bed?"
"That's where she'll sleep
with your child when it's
born."
"That seems awfully far
away..."
"Just remember this when
you want to get married."
"If you say so."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Bath.
You can't order a Bath
until you add a second
floor to your house.
Once you do, you'll be able
to bathe at home."
"You mean like the Hot
Spring at Mother's Hill?"
"Yes. If you enter your
Bath for 30 minutes at
home, you'll recuperate
Stamina and Fatigue.
(If you enter the bath
between 5:30-6AM, you'll be
forced to get out at 6AM.
The health effects aren't
as large as at the Hot
Spring, but it's nice to
have in your own home."
"Yes, it sounds relaxing."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Sock hook."
"What's that?"
"On the wall to the left of
the Bookshelf, there is a
place to hang a Sock.
This is the Sock hook.
If you hang a Sock here
on the 25th of Winter,
someone may give you a
gift.
But, Socks aren't sold any-
where, so you have to get
someone to make you one.
You'll need Yarn for that,
though..."
"I didn't know about
that!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Record Player.
They sell them someplace,
but I've never seen one
around here. Put a Record
on it to play music."
"That sounds pretty
obvious to me!"
"Give me a break, will
ya?"
"Sorry, sis..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your farm buildings.
First is the Shipment box.
Put shippable Items here,
and in the evening
the shipper will come to
pick it up and leave you
money."
"How do you know what's
shippable?"
"You can't even put things
that aren't shippable in
the Shipment box, so
you'll figure it out."
"You're not very helpful,
sometimes!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Mailbox.
Investigate it to see if
you have any new letters.
It's a good idea to
check it once in a while,
since you never know when
a letter will arrive!
Letters are put away in the
Bookshelf once you've read
them, so go there to
read them again.
If you get two ore more
identical letters, only
one will remain in your
Bookshelf."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Doghouse."
"What good is the
Doghouse?" It has your
Dog's name on it, but your
Dog doesn't sleep there.
Especially in the rain,
when you should let him in
your house.
I really don't know what
good it is at all..."
"It might not be useful,
but I like it!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Tree.
There's a Bee Nest in the
Tree, and you can
investigate it once a day
to find Honey."
"Only once a day?"
"They can only make so
much!"
Also, in Fall Apples will
fall, so you should pick
them up everyday.
You can eat them straight
or use them for cooking."
"If I don't have a
Refrigerator, I probably
shouldn't pick too many."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
the Water Mill.
If you face the Mill and
throw Corn in, you'll
make 30 bushels of Chicken
Feed. If you compare the
price of Chicken Feed and
the price of Corn, you'll
see it's cheaper to make
the Feed yourself. But,
it's a close call.
It's always good to
remember if you run out of
Feed and the Poultry Farm
is closed."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Woodbin.
If you chop up Stumps or
Branches with your Axe,
they will automatically go
in the Woodbin. So does
Lumber when you buy it
from Gotz.
If you want to take out
Lumber, just investigate
the Woodbin when you
aren't holding anything.
To put Lumber you're
holding in, just
investigate as well."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Stable.
It's where you keep your
Horse."
"But I don't have one in
the beginning, right?"
"That's right. But this is
the only place a Horse
can go. Remember, you
have to keep your Horse
(and all other animals)
inside on rainy or snowy
days."
"I'll remember."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Barn.
The Barn is where you keep
you Cows and Sheep.
It's where they come when
you buy them from Yodel
Farm.
You can also put
Chickens in here, but
you can't give them Chicken
Feed in a Barn. So, you
should always keep them in
the Chicken Coop.
Inside the Barn, there is:
EFeed Bin Door
EFeed Boxes
EShipment box
I'll explain these
tomorrow."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Barn.
First is the Feed Bin Door.
This is where you get
Fodder kept in the Feed
Bin. You have to carry
the bushels of Fodder back,
so you have to have empty
hands, remember.
You can also put back
bushels you won't use here.
You can get Fodder either
by cutting grass on your
farm or at Yodel Farm."
"Got it!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Barn.
Want to learn about Feed
Boxes? Place Fodder here to
feed the Cows and Sheep in
the Barn."
"The grazing Cows and Sheep
won't eat from Feed Boxes?"
"Exactly. They'll find
grass to eat on their own.
So, you have to think of
just how many animals are
in the Barn. If you put in
too many bushels of Fodder,
it will disappear the next
day and go to waste."
"Got it."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Barn.
This lesson will be about
the Barn Shipment Box.
This is the exactly like
the one outside your house.
The shipping guy will come
everyday to pick up what
you have to sell.
He'll leave the right
amount of gold, which is
the same whichever Shipment
box you use.
"That makes it easier to
ship things like Milk,
right?"
"That's the idea."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
expanding your Barn.
Before Barn expansion, you
can only keep 8 Cows and
Sheep total, but afterwards
you'll have room for 16!"
"In whatever combination I
want?"
"Yes, you could keep 8 of
each, or 16 Sheep, for
instance.
There are also some things
you can't buy until you
expand. I'll explain about
that tomorrow."
"OK..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
things you can't put in
your Barn until you expand.
First is the Cheese Maker.
You can get the black-
smith to make this for you.
When you do, just throw
Milk in and it becomes
Cheese!"
"What kind of cheese?"
"Never mind that! What
matters is that the more
Milk you put in, the more
Cheese comes out.
Next is the Yarn Maker.
The blacksmith makes this,
too. Throw in Wool to
make Yarn. The larger
size Wool you put in,
the larger size Yarn comes
out.
That's it for the Barn."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
your Chicken Coop.
Just as you'd guess, it's
where you keep your
Chickens.
When you buy Chickens from
Yodel Farm, they're put in
the Chicken Coop.
Cows and Sheep are just
too big to fit in the
doorway.
The Chicken Coop contains:
EChicken Feed Bin Door
EFeed Boxes
EIncubator
EShipment box
I'll explain more
tomorrow."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Chicken Coop.
First is the Chicken Feed
Bin Door.
This is where you get
Chicken Feed kept in the
Feed Bin. You have to carry
the Chicken Feed back,
so you have to have empty
hands, remember.
You can also put back
Feed you don't use here.
You can buy Chicken Feed
from Yodel Farm, or make
it yourself at the Water
Mill."
"Got it."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Chicken Coop.
Want to learn about Feed
Boxes? Place Chicken Feed
here to feed the Chickens
in the Chicken Coop."
"The Chickens grazing
won't eat from Feed Boxes?"
"Exactly. They'll find
stuff to eat on their own.
So, you have to think of
just how many Chickens are
in the Coop. If you give
them too much Chicken Feed,
it will disappear the next
day and go to waste."
By the way, Chicks don't
need to be fed at all."
"Got it."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you more
about your Chicken Coop.
How about the Incubator?
Place Eggs here and they
will hatch into Chicks in
3 days.
Just hold an Egg and
investigate the Incubator
to put it in.
Only one Egg at a time
fits. Also, all baby Chicks
are born the same, no
matter what kind of Eggs
you use."
"Interesting..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me

"That's the idea."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
expanding the Chicken Coop.
Before expanding your
Chicken Coop, you only
have room for 4 Chickens.
After expanding, though,
you'll have room for 8!
"8 Chickens could sure lay
a lot of Eggs!"
"Indeed. There is also
something you can't buy
until you expand. I'll
explain about it
tomorrow." "OK..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
what you can't put in
your Chicken Coop
until you expand.
It's the Mayonnaise Maker!
You can ask the black-
smith to make it for you.
Just throw in some Eggs to
make delicious Mayonnaise!
The larger the Eggs you put
in, the more Mayo will
come out."
"All this sounds an awful
lot like what you said
about the Barn..."
"I can't help it if
they're the same, can I?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"Today I'll teach you about
water drawing spots.
These are places you can
fill your Watering Can.
The closest one is the pond
below the Shipment box.
It doesn't have to be
there, though.
You can draw water from
anywhere, like the river
or lake.
You might find the pond
most convenient for
watering crops though."
"Sounds good to me."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"From now on I'll teach you
about places outside
your farm.
First is the Hot Spring on
Mother's Hill.
Bathing in the Hot Spring
recuperates Stamina and
Fatigue."
"By how much?"
"The longer you stay in,
the better. You can't get
better than your maximum
Stamina, or reduce your
Fatigue below 0, though."
"Can I go on rainy days?"
"Sure. Weather doesn't
matter at all."
"Great!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the mine on
Mother's Hill?
In the mine, you can:
EDig the ground with a Hoe
ESmash Stones with a Hammer
By digging the ground,
you'll be able to find
stairs going downward or
various grasses.
By smashing Rocks, you'll
be able to find Ores.
The deeper you go in the
mine, the more valuable
things you'll find."
"How far down can you go?"
"I don't know...At least 10
levels below ground."
"I bet I could go
farther!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the
Woodcutter's? House in the
forest? Gotz lives there.
You can buy Lumber from
him, or ask him to to
expand your farm.
If you buy Lumber, he'll
deliver it straight to your
Woodbin, so you don't
have to worry about it.
If you ask him to expand
something on your farm,
he'll start the next day.
It takes him 3 days to
finish a project.
You can't change your mind
once you ask him, and he
only works on one thing
at a time.
Oh, I forgot:
You have to talk to Gotz
behind the counter at his
store. This is the same for
all the other stores,
too." "I'll remember."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Poultry
Farm in south Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EBuy or sell Chickens
EBuy Chicken Feed
EBuy Animal Medicine
The first thing you have to
do when you buy a Chicken
is name it, so think of a
good name beforehand.
When selling a Chicken,
you get to select which of
your Chickens you want to
sell. You can't sell baby
Chicks.
I'll explain about buying
Chicken Feed tomorrow."
"OK. I'll wait."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Poultry Farm, right?"
Just like with buying
Lumber from Gotz, when you
buy Chicken Feed from the
Poultry Farm, it is shipped
directly to your Chicken
Feed Bin. You don't need to
worry about carrying it.
Animal Medicine is
considered a Tool to be
equipped, so you can put it
in your Rucksack.
If it's full it will be
shipped directly to your
Tool Box."
"What if the Tool Box is
full, sis?"
"You'll be told that
there's no room for it, so
you can't buy it.
This is true for all Tools,
actually."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about Yodel
Farm in south Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EBuy or Sell Cows and Sheep
EBuy Animal Fodder
EBuy Animal Medicine
EBuy Cow or Sheep
  Miracle Potion
EBuy a Bell
When you buy a Cow or a
Sheep, the first thing you
do is name it, so think of
a good name first.
I'll explain the rest
tomorrow."
"There is awful lot to buy
here, isn't there?"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
Yodel Farm, right?"
When you want to sell a
Cow or a Sheep, a list of
your animals will appear.
Just choose from that.
By the way, you can only
sell fully grown animals.
Also, when you buy Animal
Fodder, it's delivered
straight to your Feed Bin,
so you don't have to worry
about carrying it.
Animal Medicine and Bells
are considered Tools,
so when you buy them
they're placed in your
Rucksack that way."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Saibara the
blacksmith in south Mineral
Town?
Here you can:
EUpgrade tools
EBuy Brushes, Milkers, or
  Clippers
EHave Cheese, Yarn, or
  Mayonnaise Makers made
EHave jewelery (necklaces,
  broaches, or earrings)
  made
Brushes, Milkers and
Clippers are all Tools, so
they're placed that way in
your Rucksack.
I'll explain the rest
tomorrow."
"See you then."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
Saibara the blacksmith,
right? Today I'll explain
about how to upgrade your
Tools. First, put the Tool
to upgrade and the Ore
equivalent to the level you
want to upgrade it to into
your Rucksack. They don't
need to be equipped."
"Which Tools can be
upgraded?"
"Let's see...Hoe, Hammer,
Axe, Sickle, Watering Can,
Can, and Fishing Rod.
Ores you can use to upgrade
are, in order: Copper,
Silver, Gold, and Mystrile.
Once you've selected what
you want, Saibara will tell
you how much gold and time
it will take. You can
decide if it's worth it
or not."
"Makes sense to me!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
Saibara the blacksmith,
right? Today I'll tell you
more about upgrading Tools.
Saibara's grumpy, so once
he accepts your job, he'll
throw you out of his shop.
You won't be able to come
back until he's done."
"What if I forget to go
pick it up?"
"He won't throw it away or
anything, but why would you
delay using your new Tool?"
"Sometimes I forget..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
Saibara the blacksmith,
right? Today I'll tell you
about having Cheese, Yarn
or Mayonnaise Makers made.
First, place the necessary
Ore in your Rucksack.
You don't need to be
holding it."
"Which Ore is that?"
"Adamantite. He'll tell you
how long it takes (5 days),
then you can confirm your
order (or not).
More tomorrow."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about having
Saibara make you Cheese,
Yarn, or Mayonnaise Makers,
right?
Once Saibara accepts your
your job, he'll throw you
out and get to work. You
won't be able to go back in
until he's done.
But, you don't even need
to pick it up at all.
He'll have it delivered to
your Barn automatically.
Speaking of which, you
can't buy a Maker until
you've expanded your
Barn." "I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
Saibara the blacksmith,
right? Today I'll tell you
about having Necklaces,
Earrings, Bracelets, or
Broaches made.
First, place the necessary
Ore in your Rucksack.
You don't need to be
holding it."
"Which Ore is that?"
"Orichalc. He'll tell you
how long it takes (1 day),
then you can confirm your
order (or not).
More tomorrow."
"OK."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about
ordering jewelry from
Saibara, right?
Saibara's grumpy, so once
he accepts your job, he'll
throw you out of his shop.
You won't be able to come
back until he's done."
"What if I forget to go
pick it up?"
"He won't throw it away or
anything, but there's no
reason to let something
so pretty go to waste..."
"You're right."
                   ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Aja Winery
in north Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EBuy Wine
EBuy Grape Juice
Both are food, so they'll
go into your Rucksack as
food Items.
If you have a Refrigerator,
you can buy as many as 99
at once!"
"How many can I buy without
a Refrigerator?"
"Only as many as you have
room in your Rucksack for.
You can only fit 1 per
space, so not many."
"I see."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about Mary's Library
in north Mineral Town?
This is a great place to
read books. And, since it's
a Mineral Town Library,
it has books with lots of
useful knowledge about life
in Mineral Town."
"Do they always have the
same books?"
"Sometimes they get new
books in, so I recommend
checking every once in a
while."
"That sounds smart."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Supermarket
in north Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EBuy Seeds
EBuy food
EBuy certain Tools
  (like Rucksacks)
EHave presents giftwrapped
First, I'll talk about
Seeds. Different Seeds are
sold in different seasons.
Also, they're considered
Tools, so that's how they
are carried in your
Rucksack.
"Fair enough."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Supermarket, right?"
Today I'll tell you how to
buy food. All the food is
arranged by kind, so just
investigate the kind you
want to determine the
amount to buy.
You have to have space in
your Rucksack and gold,
of course.
Here you can buy:
ERice Balls
EBread
EOil
EFlour
ECurry Powder
EMuffin Mix
EChocolate
That's all."
"Seems like a lot to me!"
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Supermarket, right?"
First, I'll explain about
buying Rucksacks.
First of all, you don't
need any room to carry
them. As soon as you
buy one, your space to
carry Tools and Items will
double.
Also, you can only buy 1 at
a time, and new ones may
not come in for a while.

Next, I'll explain about
Baskets. You need to have
empty hands to buy a
Basket, because as soon as
you buy it, you have to
hold it. It won't fit into
a Rucksack, you see."
"Alright."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Supermarket, right?"
Today I'll talk about
buying the Blue Feather.
First of all, it won't go
on sale until there's a
girl ready to marry you."
"How do they know?"
"Everybody in Mineral Town
knows everything about
everybody else! Especially
when it comes to romance."
"Sounds pretty scary to
me!" "Ha ha. By the way,
it's considered a Tool."
"OK..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Supermarket, right?"
Today I'll explain about
getting gifts wrapped.
First, place the Item you
want to have wrapped in
your Rucksack. You don't
need to be holding it.
Next, investigate the
giftwrap counter, then
select the Item to wrap."
"Can I have anything
wrapped up?"
"Anything that would fit in
a Refrigerator or Shelf."
"So no Baskets or animals.
Got it."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Mineral
Clinic in north Mineral
Town?
Here you can:
EBuy medicine
EBe examined
To buy medicine, go talk
to Elli behind the counter.
In the beginning, she'll
only sell you:
EBodigizer
ETurbojolt
But, if you gather lots of
grasses growing on the
mountain, then
EBodigizer XL
ETurbojolt XL
will go on sale."
"Why is that?"
"I'll explain tomorrow."
"If you say so."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was telling you that
shipping grasses gathered
on the mountain leads to
new medicine being sold,
right?
That's because these
grasses are used to make
the medicines! Of course,
only some kinds of grasses
are use to make medicine."
"Could I make them, then?"
"You mean like cooking
them up? You could try!
Tomorrow I'll explain about
getting examined by the
Doctor."
"Bye for now."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Mineral Clinic, right?
To be examined by the
Doctor, go talk to him
behind his counter.
He'll tell you exactly how
much Stamina and Fatigue
you have. He won't actually
treat you, though."
"Then what good is it?"
"It's very useful to know
exactly what kind of health
you're in. Besides,
it doesn't cost much."
"I guess you're right..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Doug's Inn
in north Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EEat
EMake phone calls
Doug serves different foods
at different times of the
day, but you can't
take anything home."
"Some of the things Doug
makes, I can make myself.
Why should I pay extra
to eat it at the Inn?"
"Doug's a pro, so his food
will help you recuperate
more than your own."
"Hmm..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Doug's Inn, right?"
Today I'll tell you about
making phone calls.
Just investigate the phone
to make a call.
The only time you'll
need to is when ordering s
from the TV Shopping
Network."
"How do I know what to
buy?" "If you see
something on TV that you
want, and you can
pay for it, just go make
the call!
They'll deliver it after a
set number of days."
"Sounds easy to me."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Church
in north Mineral Town?
Here you can:
EConfess
EHave curses lifted
You need to go into the
confessional inside the
Church to do either one.
It's door on the left.
To confess, you'll choose
what you want to confess
about from a list.
Then, Carter will tell you
whether or not the Harvest
Goddess will forgive you.
If she will, you'll notice
that townspeople like
you more, or that your
Stamina improves.
Nothing bad happens if
you're not forgiven,
by the way."
"Seems too good
to be true..."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"Teach me more from
yesterday!"
"I was talking about the
Church, but I forgot to
mention that you can only
confess once a day.
Today I'll explain about
having curses lifted."
"What's a curse, sis?"
"Sometimes you'll find
cursed Tools in the mines.
If you equip one of these,
you can't put it down
until you have the curse
lifted."
"I hope I never pick up a
cursed Tool!"
"But, they can be very
powerful, you know."
"I'll have to see for
myself, I guess."
                  ADVANCED

"Hey, big sis!"
"What?"
"What will you teach me
about today?"
"How about the Kai's
Seaside Lodge on Mineral
Beach? Here you can eat
great meals. But, just like
Doug's Inn, you can't bring
the leftovers home."
"Kai always serves the same
food, right?"
"Right. The Lodge isn't
open all that long, and
only in the Summer,
anyway."
"It's probably worth going
to check out, I guess."

d) My Dear Princess (mdearpri)
##############################

Episode 1


I am the Princess of this
country. Today, it seemed to
me that things were more
lively outside. When I went
to see why, it appeared that
our hero had returned to us.
His latest adventure had
apparently involved going to
slay a demon lord in a
country to the North of us.
Ah, our hero must be truly
mighty, to have slain a
demon lord... I would wish
for someone as mighty as
this hero to be my husband.
I have it, I need only wed
this hero to make my wish
come true. A hero who slew a
demon lord could hardly be
called unsuitable by anyone.
I am certain that I will be
congratulated by one and
all. Now that I think of it,
though (and even if I
don't), I know nothing about
this hero. I haven't even
seen his face. Still, there
is likely to be a
celebration of some sort,
seeing as how we have a hero
who has returned from
slaying a demon lord. I will
take that opportunity to
talk to him, or some such.


To Be Continued


Episode 2


So I went to the celebration
for the hero's triumphant
return and all. My first
impression was not so much
that of a hero, really, but
rather, someone who fights
beside the hero. He was a
big guy, with all these
muscles, you see. Anyway, I
chatted him up, only to find
that he apparently hasn't
done much talking to the
ladies, for he turned bright
red when I asked him a
simple question, barely
managing to say a single
word in reply. It was
actually kind of sweet. I
don't think I'd have much
trouble marrying him at all,
though I'd like to see for
myself just how strong he is
and all. There must be
something I can do...

"How about this, then?"


To Be Continued


Episode 3


I was startled to hear a
voice from nearby. Eh? Who's
there? I wondered as I
looked in the direction the
voice had come from. There,
standing outside the window,
was a pretty studly guy. The
only thing was, my window
was three stories off the
ground. I decided I was more
interested in talking to him
than in trying to figure out
how he got there, though, so
so I opened the window and
let him in my room.

"My apologies for speaking
to you like this," he said.
"But you sounded like you
were having such fun that I
couldn't help myself."

But that would mean that I
had been thinking aloud...Oh
well, whatever. If you heard
me talk, then you must know
pretty much the situation
I'm in.

"You mean about how you wish
to wed a strong man, and you
wish also to see just how
strong this hero is?"

Yeah, that's it. Have you
got any ideas?


To Be Continuedret>

Episode 4


He did indeed seem to have a
good idea in mind, regarding
my getting to see the power
of our hero. However...

"Before we get to that,
might I offer myself as a
prospective husband too? I'm
strong. It's just that..."

Just... what?

"I'm not human. In fact,
I'm the greatest of the
demons, what you might
colloquially call the demon
lord."
Eh? The demon lord? But I
thought our hero slew the
demon lord. Didn't he?

"Your hero slew an imposter,
in all likelihood. After
all, the demon lord stands
before you now."

But you don't look all that
different from us humans. I
mean you don't have wings or
a tail, or anything like
that. A demon lord ought to
be bigger, and have a bunch
of arms, and give off a
weird aura or something,
shouldn't he?


To Be Continued


Episode 5


The man outside my window
told me that he was, in
fact, the demon lord...

"This is what I really look
like. While I suppose I
could change my appearance
to look the way you suggest,
to take on such a fearsome
form would seem to me to be
a sign that one lacks
confidence in one's ability.
Besides, I also felt that
there was no need to go out
of my to frighten you.

So what you're saying is,
you're so tough that you
don't have to do that sort
of thing. Well, then, how
can you prove your might to
me, o demon lord?

"I will triumph in battle
against the hero."

Yes, I suppose that if you
were to do that, you would
have to be mighty. From what
I understand, though, our
hero doesn't like to do
battle without cause. So I
doubt he'd give you a fight
simply because you asked for
one.

" In that case, I ask you to
let me take you away with
me, Your Highness."


To Be Continued


Episode 6


I wonder what connection
there could be between a
good idea for getting our
hero to show his might, and
my being abducted by the
demon lord...

Excuse me? What, exactly,
do you mean by that?

"If you were to be abducted
the king of this land would
almost certainly command the
hero to bring you back. Of
course, if the abduction of
the Princess by the demon
lord does not bring the hero
at a run, royal command or
no, then the effort will
have been for naught,
wouldn't you agree?

Now I see... You mean to get
our hero to come to your
castle, and fight you to
bring me back home. That
would certainly give me the
chance to see what the two
of you are like in battle...
OK, it might work. But what
should I be doing in the
meantime? I mean, if I try
to hide here, someone is
likely to find me soon
enough anyway, so I guess I
have no choice but to come
to your home...


To Be Continued


Episode 7


Having our hero and the
demon lord do battle might
really be a sight to see...

"Well, I suggest you resign
yourself, because the fact
is that you will have to
come with me. Once we are
at my castle, however, you
need not do anything in
particular, aside from
waiting for the hero to
arrive."

Well, that sounds kind of
dull... Still, I guess
there's nothing for it, if
I'm going to see you and our
hero demonstrate their
power, right? OK, you've got
a deal.

"Then let us be off to my
castle. But before we go,
would I be an acceptable
suitor for Your Highness's
hand in wedlock?

Oh, come on, of course not.
We've only just met, after
all, and I hardly know
anything about you (though
come to that, it's true that
I only just met our hero
today, too, I admit). Still,
seeing as how it looks as
though we're going to be
living together for a while,
let's see how it goes before
we make up our minds, OK?


To Be Continued


Episode 8


And so it was that I went to
live with the demon lord for
a while...

"I can accept that. After
all, when all is said and
done, I will do battle with
the hero and show you my
might. So let us not delay
further in going to my
castle."

OK! But, uh... How are we
going to get there?

"If you will permit me..."
So saying, the demon lord
grabbed the Princess and
went out the window.

Eeek! The demon lord just
reached out and grabbed me!
And since he's grabbing me
and leaving by the window
means we're going to fly, I
guess. Does that mean we
have far to go? I hope it
won't be too heavy for him
to carry me, if we're going
flying and all. But then, if
he couldn't manage that, he
wouldn't be all that strong,
demon lord or not, right? Oh
wow, we're floating! And it
feels... so good...


To Be Continued


Episode 9


The demon lord took me in
his arms and leapt out the
window...

Do you always do things that
feel this good? It seems
kind of unfair.

"Well, that's probably
because you don't have your
own wings, and thus, can't
fly under your own power.
Hardly what I would call
unfair, however.

Ha ha! I'm kidding. It's
that it feels good, though.
The breeze is cool, and the
view of the towns from up
here is lovely. But how far
is it to your castle from
here? Do we just keep going
straight on until we get
there?

"Yes, it's about 10
minutes' straightline
distance from here. Or, if
you like, I can go faster
still."

You can go faster? Then do
it, please.


To Be Continued


Episode 10


I am now on my way to the
castle of the demon lord...

"We have arrived, Your
Highness. There is my
castle."

You mean, that's it? From
here, at least, it looks
like a fairly ordinary
castle. I would have thought
that a demon lord's castle
would be all gloomy and
dark, surrounded by fog and
weird vines and moss growing
all over it, and human blood
dripping all over
everything, you know?

"I really would be
reluctant to live in such a
place...I admit, though,
that it isn't as clean or
nice as it could be, since
I live here by myself."

As he said this, we came in
to his castle by a second
floor window. I had to<bh:81>c
wonder whether he always
came and went through
windows, though I figured it
wasn't really all that big a
deal. What really got me
thinking was hearing that he
lived in that big castle all
by himself. It had to be a
lonely existence, right?


To Be Continued


Episode 11


The demon lord had a big
enough castle, but he lived
there alone...

"That's one more reason why
I brought you here. But
please, rest yourself. Your
quarters are not yet ready.
I will prepare a suitable
room for Your Highness while
you rest and catch your
breath."

All right. Oh, you know
something? I haven't had
dinner yet, and I'm starting
to get hungry... What should
I do? Come to think of it,
is there anything to eat
here? And if there is, is it
anything that I could eat?
You know, I hadn't even
thought of that. I could
really be in a lot of
trouble here, you know?
"Oh, you mean you haven't
had dinner either? Then why
don't we dine together? I'll
cook, and I can't offer
anything too spectacular...


To Be Continued


Episode 12


Now it seems that the demon
lord is going to make dinner
for me...

"By the way, I eat the same
things as humans do, so you
need have no worries on that
account."

I must admit to being a bit
curious about what sort of
dinner a demon lord would
make, but since I'm here and
all, why don't you let me
cook instead? What do you
say, o demon lord?

"Oh, but you are my guest,
Your Highness, and
besides..."

Huh? Oh, I get it, you don't
think that a princess like
me would even know how to
cook. Well, it might come as
a surprise, but I'm really
not a bad cook. Hanging
around a castle, I don't
have much to do with my time
besides studying, so I use
my free time for making
candies and such.

"Is that so?"

Nobody eats my cooking,
though, so I don't rightly
know whether I'm doing it
right or not.


To Be Continued


Episode 13


I'd like to do my own
cooking, seeing as how I've
left home and all...

It seems OK when I eat my
own cooking, though. So let
me do it, please. Just once,
I'd like to have someone
else eat my cooking (even if
that someone should be the
demon lord). OK?

"Very well, please be my
guest. I would be honored to
be the first to be able to
partake of your cooking,
Your Highness."

Yes! I'll get started right
away. I just need to make
enough for the two of us,
right?

"Uh, yes. Now please let me
do something to help.

OK, why don't you get the
utensils. First of all,
though, where is your
kitchen? Also, I need to
know what there is in your
icebox.

"The kitchen is this way."


To Be Continued


Episode 14


The demon lord showed me to
his kitchen. Now I'm going
to cook something wonderful.

Tick, tick, tick, done!

Oh yes, that's very good.
Oh, demon lord, it's done!

"Oh, that smells delicious.
It looks good, too.

Doesn't it, though? I think
I outdid myself today.
I guess cooking for someone
else (even a demon lord)
brought out the best in me.
Whatever the case, now I'm
ravenous. Let's hurry up and
get the food over to the
table.

"Allow me to set the
table." Snap!

Wow! You just snapped your
fingers and instantly
teleported my cooking to the
table. That's great! It's
like a magician's trick!

"Well, I can do magic."


To Be Continued


Episode 15


The demon lord instantly
teleported my cooking to the
dinner table...

"Well, why don't we get
started?"

Yes, please, eat. Because
I'm sure going to.

"I'll start with the soup,
then." (Slurp, slurp)

He's eating it. Oh, yes!
He's the only person (even
if he is a demon lord and
all) besides me to ever eat
my cooking...
Well? What do you think? I
hope you like my soup
recipe, I hope I hope.

"Yes, it's delicious."

Oh good! It's got bits of
fish and onions and
mushrooms all mixed in,
using my own recipe. Now if
you like that, try some of
this too.

"All right then, I'll try
these vegetables... Yes,
these are good too."

Yes! And what do you think
of this here?


To Be Continued


Episode 16


The demon lord ate all my
cooking, and really seemed
to like it...

"That was delicious. Thank
you. It seems a shame to
think that none of the
people in your own castle
have ever eaten your
cooking, Your Highness.

Oh, I'm so glad you liked
it. I wasn't really sure if
it was any good or not,
since no one's ever eaten it
before. Now that you've
eaten my cooking, though,
I'm feeling much more
confident. Just wait and see
what I come up with next.

"Thank you. Now allow me to
escort you to where you'll
be staying for the next
several days or so. It's
this way."

The room he showed me to was
completely covered in layers
of dust.

"My apologies. None of the
rooms in the castle have
been cleaned, aside from
those that I use myself.


To Be Continued


Episode 17


The room the demon lord
showed me to was completely
covered in layers of dust.

"I had intended to clean up
this room while you were
eating. Instead, however, I
was captivated by your
cooking, and completely
forgot my intentions in that
regard. If you will wait
just a few minutes, I will
clean it up for you now."

Hey, if I'm going to stay in
this room, I'd just as soon
clean it myself. And don't
tell me that I can't do it
because I'm a princess or
some such. I already made
dinner for us, after all.
And seeing as how I'm not in
my father's castle right
now, I'd be much happier
being treated like an
ordinary girl, rather than a
princess, you know?

"I see. Very well, then,
you can probably arrange
your own rooms to best suit
yourself if you clean them
yourself. I will leave you
to it, but if you need any
heavy lifting done, don't
hesitate to ask."

OK! I'll get started on the
cleaning right away!


To Be Continued


Episode 18


I can at least manage to
clean my own room, you know.

Whew. All done. Oh, demon
lord, I've finished cleaning
up in here.

"What has become of this
room? It's so polished that
I can scarcely believe it to
be the same room at all."

I gave it everything I had.
The garbage bag outside the
door is full of blackened
dusters as a result now. Is
there any place where I can
dispose of them?

"I will dispose of them
myself. You have surely
gotten yourself dirty from
all that cleaning. Feel free
to have a bath."

Yes! You sure are
considerate, o demon lord. I
feel so icky with all this
dust and sweat on me. I'll
have that bath right away.


To Be Continued


Episode 19


When I finished cleaning my
room, the demon lord drew a
bath for me.

Now where is the bath? Oh,
wait, what about changing my
clothes? I didn't bring
anything with me.

"I will go to your rooms in
the king's castle and pick
some suitable things out of
your wardrobe while you are
having your bath."

Thank you. I'll just go and
have my bath, then, and
change my clothes when you
get back.

Splash! Oh, this feels so
good. It's a little smaller
than my bath at home, but
it's big enough for a single
person to fit comfortably,
and it's got a big window,
with a beautiful view, too.

Sigh... I came to the demon<bh:81>c
lord's castle so suddenly...
I bet Mom and Dad and the
castle staff are probably
worried about what's
happened to me. Oh, wait,
I haven't been gone very
long. They probably haven't
even noticed.


To Be Continued


Episode 20


Come to think of it, I
wonder if anyone's noticed
that I've gone...

Well, I certainly don't
regret coming here. There's
nobody here at all, which
makes it quiet enough, and
the demon lord seems nice
enough (for a demon lord),
not to mention plenty
strong, apparently. But I'll
let him show me his might
when our hero appears. For
now, I'll just take it easy.

"I have brought you a
change of clothes, Your
Highness. I will leave it
here."
Thank you. Well, now that
the demon lord is back, I
probably should get out of
the tub.

..

Now to brush my teeth and
gargle... Well, that's all
done, so I think I'm going
to call it a day. Good
night, o demon lord.


To Be Continued


Episode 21


It was such a busy day that
I slept like a log...

Twitch. Blink.

Yawn. I really needed that.
That's funny. This doesn't
seem like my bed... Oh, I
remember, I'm staying in the
demon lord's castle. And the
sun sure is high in the sky.
I must have really slept in
this morning, if that is any
indication...
For a place I've never been
before, I sure did sleep
soundly. I guess I could
make myself at home in this
castle. Speaking of which,
where is my host? I wonder
if he's already awake? I
think I'll go peek in his
room. First, I'll just get
dressed... Well, how do you
like that? He brought my
entire wardrobe... OK,
now I'm decent. Now, off to
the demon lord's chambers.
Knock knock...
Knock knock. Knock knock...
O demon lord? That's funny,
there's no answer. Maybe
he's still asleep?


To Be Continued


Episode 22


I went to find the demon
lord in his chambers, but
there was no answer when I
knocked. Maybe he's still
asleep...

Well, that's OK. I'll take
this opportunity to make
breakfast.

Tick, tick, tick, done!

All set! Now to go and wake
up the demon lord.

Knock knock...
Knock knock. Knock knock...
O demon lord? That's funny,
there's no answer. Maybe
he's still asleep?
In that case, I'll just slip
inside.
Click.
Good morning. Why, the demon
lord is sitting in a
chair... Hey, is that how
you sleep?

"Snore... Snore..."

Well, I'll be. He's asleep,
all right. But why does he
sleep like that? Could it be
because his wings get in the
way of him lying on his
back? No matter. I'll just
go and wake him up now.


To Be Continued


Episode 23


Once breakfast was done, I
decided to wake up the demon
lord...

Rustle rustle rustle.
Good morning, o demon lord,
it's time to wake up. You'd
best wake up soon, or else
breakfast is going to get
cold.

"Huh? Oh, it's you, Your
Highness. Good morning. What
brings you here at such an
early hour?

Ah, you're awake at last.
And it isn't early. The sun
is already high in the sky.
Anyway, I made breakfast, so
I thought you might like to
join me. You can't really
refuse, though, because I
already made plenty for the
both of us.

"I'd be delighted. Just let
me get dressed, and we'll
be on our way. Snap!"

Wow! You just snapped your
fingers, and your clothes
instantly changed. That's
amazing. It's like seeing a
magician do his tricks.

"Well, like I said, this is
real magic...


To Be Continued


Episode 24


The demon lord really was
asleep. But now we're having
breakfast.

"This looks like another
delicious meal."

Oh, thank you ever so much,
o demon lord.

"And without further ado,
let us eat."

Oh yes, eat up. And so will
I.

"I think I'll start with the
toast... Hmh?"

Uh-oh, all of a sudden the
demon lord froze up and took
a peek out the window.
There's something strange
about it... I hope it's not
because of my cooking. Maybe
he just doesn't like bread
of this type?

"It would appear that we
will not have the luxury of
eating breakfast at our
leisure. He is here, so we
must eat quickly.


To Be Continued


Episode 25


We were just sitting down to
breakfast, when the demon
lord started acting
strangely...

But eating quickly isn't the
same as not eating at all.
So his actions aren't on
account of a dislike for
bread. And what did he mean
by saying 'he is here'? He
couldn't be talking about
our hero? It's still too
soon for him to be here.
Isn't it?

"The hero has arrived at my
castle. You see, when I went
to get your clothes last
night, I also left behind a
map in your chambers showing
the way here, which would
explain how he got here, and
so quickly. Even on foot, it
is only half a day's journey
here from the castle of your
father the king. So, if you
were discovered missing last
night, and the king were to
waste no time in commanding
the hero to rescue you, I
imagined that he would be
here at about this time.

Well, yes, that would
explain it. If our hero has
arrived, then I guess we had
better hurry up and finish
eating our breakfast.


To Be Continued


Episode 26


Our hero has at last arrived
at the demon lord's castle.

But what should I do? If our
hero is already at the gates
of your castle, then I
hardly have time to sit
around and wash the dishes,
now, do I? I mean, you and
our hero are going to do
battle now, and I need to
see it. And to do that, I
naturally need to be in a
place from which I can view
the action. But if our hero
spots me right away, then
there won't be any need for
you and him to do battle
after all. I guess I've just
got to stay hidden someplace
where our hero won't be able
to spot me.

"When you have finished your
breakfast, Your Highness,
come with me, and I will
make the necessary
preparations."

OK. Wait a second. What kind
of preparations are we
talking about here? If he
wants me to go with him,
then I guess it must be so I
can watch him do battle with
our hero. Still...


To Be Continued


Episode 27


What sort of preparations
do we need to make for the
battle between our hero and
the demon lord, anyway?

We went to a fairly large
room that opened onto a
stairwell. Here, it seemed,
was where the demon lord
intended to fight our hero.
The demon lord told me that
all I had to do was sit in a
chair at the top of the
stairs. So I did as I was
told, and quickly realized
that I could see the room
below just fine. This would
probably be all right for
watching the coming battle
between the demon lord and
our hero. There was also
little danger that our hero
would simply take me away
from here, even if he did
spot me, since the demon
lord was standing at my
side. It was perfect. I even
had time to wonder why the
demon lord was holding a
glass of the mixed fruit
juice I'd made with
breakfast that morning,
especially given that he'd
drunk all that I'd made,
leaving nothing behind (and
I could see that the fruit
juice in his cup was fresh,
too). As these thoughts were
running through my head,
however...


To Be Continued


Episode 28


Our hero was by now
standing at the castle
gates...

With a loud thump, the door
suddenly swung open, and our
hero strode into the room.

"At last I've found you,
demon lord! Let Her Highness
the Princess go! Oh, wait,
there you are, Your
Highness! You need have no
more fear, now that I have
found you."

It was good of you to come
all this way, o hero. I
imagine you must be tired.
Drink this, with my
compliments."

So saying, the demon lord
held out the glass of juice
that I had made that
morning. Now I get it, I
thought: our hero had been
marching nonstop since the
day before to get here, and
the demon lord had brought
the juice with him so as to
offer him some refreshment
upon his arrival. That would
be an awfully sweet thing
for a demon lord to do. Or
could it be that he felt
defeating our hero while the
latter was still exhausted
would not be a true proof of
his might? And come to think
of it, our hero didn't sound
as shy as he did before,
when he spoke just now,
either. Did the prospect of
battle bring out a different
side of him, perhaps?


To Be Continued


Episode 29


I wonder if our hero will
actually drink the juice
that I made...

"I don't know what you're up
to, but a hero would never
drink anything offered by a
demon lord."

That is so mean of you,
especially after I went to
all the trouble to fix this
juice. Don't bother giving
it to our hero, o demon
lord. I'll drink it myself.

"What's that you say? You
prepared this juice, Your
Highness? You went to all
that trouble for me? Even
so, the demon lord may well
have put something in it
himself..."

Well, I didn't exactly make
it with you in mind, o
hero... And besides, the
demon lord isn't the kind of
person (even if he is a
demon) that would stoop to
such tricks (or so I
suspect, anyway). I mean it:
you really don't have to
give it to him. I'll gladly
drink it.


To Be Continued


Episode 30


I made it for the demon
lord, after all, so there's
no reason for our hero to
drink it.

"Her Highness has spoken.
What will you do, o hero?"

"I... accept. (Glug glug)
My thanks to you. Your
Highness, that was most
delicious. Already I feel a
new man. And with that, I
shall promptly dispose of
the demon lord and return
you to the castle of your
father the king. This will
all be over and done with
very shortly now."

OK, I can handle that. Now
that you're no longer
fatigued, this contest will
be a fair one. I will sit
right here and observe the
battle between the two of
you men (though I keep
forgetting that the demon
lord isn't a man at all).

"Then let us commence this
battle, shall we?"

"Very well."


To Be Continued


Episode 31


The battle between the demon
lord and our hero has begun
at last...

Hmm, however you slice it,
the demon lord seems to have
the edge. I mean, our hero
is no slouch, but the demon
lord seems to be even better
still. Our hero's shoulders
are already heaving, and
yet, the demon lord hardly
even seems winded. I think I
can already tell how this
will turn out.

"Grr... The demon lord of
the northern lands was
nothing compared to this."

"I had no idea you would
prove so capable. You are
truly deserving of the title
of 'hero.' The battle is now
over, however."

Let it end here, o demon
lord, The outcome is
decided. Let us let the hero
leave here unharmed. No,
wait, this will never do. If
I do not also return with
him, the king and queen, my
mother and father, would
never sit still for it...


To Be Continued


Episode 32


There has to be some way of
persuading my parents to
accept my decision to remain
here...

Wait, I think I've got it.
How about we do this?

First, I write my will...
And then I take off my
shoes... And now, if you
will let me have that blade
of yours for a moment, o
hero, so that I can cut off
my hair... There. Now, would
you be so kind as to give
these things to my father
the king? So saying, I tried
to make our hero take my
shoes, my hair, and the will
that I had just scribbled
down. All I got in return,
however, was a blank,
uncomprehending stare. Which
only makes sense, seeing as
how I hadn't bothered to
explain the situation to
him. So I stopped and told
him the way things were,
ending by saying that I was
resolved to living with the
demon lord, in his castle.

"So that is what this is
all about. If that be your
wish, Your Highness..."


To Be Continued


Episode 33


Hero, I am resolved to live
with the demon lord in his
castle.

Thank you for your
understanding, o hero.

"It's nothing. It seems I
am no match for the demon
lord at present, so it is
only right for me to
withdraw from the field."

"So you realize that the
time to part has come. In
that case, allow me to give
you a token of my esteem, by
healing your wounds, like
so. Snap!"

Wow! With just a snap of his
fingers, the demon lord is
making the wounds our hero
suffered in their battle go
away. It's like a magician's
trick. Amazing.

"I keep telling you, it's
real magic."

Oh, my wounds are sealing
themselves. Thank you. And
with that, I will take my
leave.

"Oh, by the way..."


To Be Continued


Episode 34


"When you return, there are
likely to be those who will
wonder what ever became of
the demon lord, so feel free
to say that you slew me."

"Are you sure? You were so
much mightier than I, which
makes it most unlikely."

I did not desire the title
of mightiest fighter. All I
want is the love of the
Princess."

"Very well. And I hope the
two of you will be happy
together."

Thank you, and take care, o
hero. Good-bye.

Now there is no one to come
between us, is there, o
demon lord? There is still
much that I do not know
about you, which I hope you
will take the time to
explain. And I also have
much to tell you about
myself as well. Now that the
two of us people (even
though, yes, I know that you
are not a person) are going
to be living together, I
want you to tell me all
there is to know about you.

#############################
g) Aaron Changes (kinkyarron)
#############################

Going to School 1

PING, PONGGG
As usual, Aaron
rang his neighbor's
doorbell and shouted
to Erin.

Aaron
"Erin! Good morning."
..A couple of seconds
later, the second floor
window slid open and
Erin stuck her sleepy
head out.

Erin
"Morning Aaron.
Hang on. I'll be there in
a sec!"
This is my neighbor,
Erin. She's my
girlfriend.
Her name's the same as
mine ? Erin. It's a
little confusing, but
that's the way it is.

..Two minutes later

Erin
"Sorry to keep you
waiting Aaron.
Well, let's get going."
Erin came out in
her school uniform
Looks like she
combed her hair at
least.



Going to School 2

Erin came out in
her school uniform
Looks like she
combed her hair at
least.

Aaron
"Erin! We're gonna
be late if we don't
hurry!"
It's partly my fault
for always cutting it
close when I call on
her, but it wouldn't
be so bad if she got
up a little earlier.

Erin
"Alright. Oh yeah. Hey...
Why don't we go
shopping after school?"
As usual, Erin
is full of energy
considering she just
got up!"

Aaron
"Sure, but what are
you gonna buy?"
Erin is walking in front
of me facing backwards.
Seems kinda dangerous
facing backwards while
walking.

Erin
"Ummc Todayc
Oops!"
She almost tripped
because of not looking
where she's going.




Going to School 3

She almost tripped
because she wasn't looking
where she was going.

Aaron
"Be careful!"
I grabbed Erin's hand
right away and tried to
pull her up but didn't
have the strength!
Instead, I got pulled
down by her and we both
went tumbling.

Erin & Aaron
"Ouch!" "Oww!"
Thump! Our heads
bumped together.

Aaron
"Oww. Are you okay?
What's going on?"
Huh? Something weird
is going on.

Erin
"Yeah, I'm fine. But my
head totally...Huh?
What the...? How can I
be staring at myself"
No doubt about it...
I'm staring at myself.
What's going on!?




Going to School 4
No doubt about it...
I'm staring at myself.
What's going on!?

Aaron
"Uhh, I can see myself.
 "Myself" meaning
"Aaron"!

Erin
"Umm, I can see myself.
 "Myself" meaning
"Erin"!

Erin & Aaron
"What?! You mean
we've changed bodies?!"
When I took another
look at myself, I saw
Erin, whose always
somewhere nearby.
Erin is looking at
her own body too.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Wha...What're we
gonna do Erin?"
Anyone'd be freaked out
and kind of upset if
something like this
suddenly happened to
them...




Going to School 5

Anyone'd be freaked out
and kind of upset if
something like this
suddenly happened to
them...

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"I dunno!"
Umm...
If we changed bodies
when we bumped heads,
maybe we should try
bumping heads again.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Well..."
Just as I was about
to suggest bumping
heads

We heard the school
bell ring,
BING, BONG, BING, BONG

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Oh! That's the warning
bell! We'd better get
to school first and
then think about what
to do later."
Huh?

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Huh?"
Wouldn't it be kinda
bad to go to school like
this?

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"If we don't hurry to
school, we'll be late!"
Erin seems to be
more concerned about
getting to school than
the fact that we
switched bodies.




Going to school 6

Erin seems to be
more concerned about
getting to school than
the fact that we
switched bodies.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Well...well, we might
be late, but..."
But it seems more
important to get our
bodies back to normal.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Well then, let's get
to school. But we'd
better keep quiet
about this, right?
Erin said pointing
at herself (appearing
to be Aaron).

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"...Yeah, I don't want
anyone to know. But
won't we be found out?
Do you think we'll be
okay?"
How could others not
figure it out!?...

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"I think we'll be
alright."
Are we really gonna
be alright? Erin
seems to be speaking
without thinking.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"....................."
Are we gonna be OK?
I don't even think we
should go to school at
a time like this...




Going to school 7

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Phew! I can't believe
we made it to school
before the main bell!"
How can she have so much
energy after running all
the way from there
(where we bumped heads)
to the shoe cupboard?
Erin's always so
full of energy.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
(Out of breath) We
gotta remember not to
mix up our shoes.
..Just as Erin was
grabbing her own
indoor shoes. Usually
that wouldn't be a
problem, but since we
switched bodies we
have to be careful.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
Oh yeah. Sorry. I
forgot that I'm not
supposed to grab "
mine!"
Luckily no one was
near the shoe cupboard,
so grabbing the wrong
shoes was not a big
deal.




Going to school 8

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Morning!"
Erin threw open the
classroom door and
energetically greeted
everyone as usual.
(To everyone else
it looked like the
greeting was coming
from Aaron.)

Jean
"Morning, Erin,
Aaron. Together as
usual, eh!"
Erin's best friend,
Jean, wandered
toward us.
Because she's good
friends with Erin,
she talks to me a lot
too (not just the two
of us - Erin too.).

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Morning, Jean!"
Erin greeted Jean
in her usual way, like
she'd forgotten that we
switched bodies.
(She really might have
forgotten.)




Going to School 9

Erin greeted Jean
in her usual way, like
she'd forgotten that we
switched bodies.
(She really might have
forgotten.)

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
(Nods his head)
I was so nervous about
being found out that I
couldn't even speak...
(So I just nodded to
Jean without saying
anything.)

Jean
"Huh? Erin, you seem
kinda quiet. What's up?"
Oh no!

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"I feel as good as ever!"
No kidding! How can
she act normal even
though we switched
bodies?

Jean
"Not you, Aaron! I'm
talking about Erin!"
That's right! I appear
to be Erin.




Going to school 10

That's right! I appear
to be Erin.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Me too. I'm fine!"
That's what I said,
anyway. We're in such
such a fix though, I'd
rather skip school.

Jean
"Really? Whatever."
Jean's good friends
with Erin, but
luckily she isn't one
for details.

BING, BONG, BING BONG
Ah, that's the main
bell! First class is
starting.

Jean
"Ah, the bell! See you
later."
Maybe she wants to see
us later, but I'd
like to avoid being
with Jean as much
as possible today. I
have no idea where
we'll be when she
finds out I'm not
Erin.




1st Class: Social
Studies 1

Jean
"Stand up! Straighten
up! Bow! Sit down!"
The teacher came in as
soon as the main bell
went, and the class
started right away.
Jean happened to be
on class duty, so she
was giving orders.

Teacher
"Okay, time for
attendance!"
..The teacher said,
and started taking
attendance as usual.
Starting with "A", he
read everyone's name in
order, with students
replying as their names
were called.

Teacher
"Erin"
Oh, he's calling Erin.
Uh oh!

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Here."
Oh no! I knew it...
Erin made a mistake.
(She didn't actually
make a mistake, but
she's appears to be me
right now.) She
shouldn't have replied.




1st Class: Social
Studies 2

Erin made a mistake.
(She didn't actually
make a mistake, but
she's appears to be me
right now.) She
shouldn't have replied.

Teacher
"No, not you Aaron!
I said Erin!
However similar your
names may be, the
girls names come first,
so be careful!"
The teacher didn't seem
surprised that Erin
made a mistake...She
often replies when my
name is called. (Just
so you know, I've never
made such a mistake.)

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Oops! I made a mistake.
Sorry."
Maybe I should've
replied right away.
Sorry, Erin.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Here"
I replied right away
just in case.




2nd Class: Music

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Aaron. Music is
next, right? Let's go
together."
We always move from
class to class together,
so I guess there's
nothing strange about
it.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Yep. We've got a
recorder test."
Huh? Recorder?
Wait a minute. Would
that be like an
indirect kiss? But
we've totally switched
bodies...Seems kinda
strange.
Uhh...I'm not sure.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Hey, Aaron. If we
don't hurry, we'll be
late."
While I was having
twisted thoughts,
Erin was already
bolting toward the
classroom...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Uh, oh...okay. I'm on my
way."
I frantically grabbed
my textbook and
recorder and ran after
Erin.




3rd Class: PE 1

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Uh, isn't PE next?
Ooh, lucky you! You
get to see the girl's
changing for free."
Erin whispered to me.
(Truth is, it won't be a
joke if it gets out that
we switched bodies.)

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"........."
That's right...Classes
1 & 2 do PE together.
The girls get
changed in Class 1
(next door) and the
boys get changed in
Class 2 (here).
(We were already on
our way from the
music room to
Class 2.)

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"What am I gonna do
Erin?"
However much I may
appear to be you,
changing with the girls
is bad. This is no time
to be so amused!




3rd Class: PE 2

"What am I gonna do
Erin?"
However much I may
appear to be you,
changing with the girls
is bad. This is no time
to be so amused.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"This is a great chance
to observe the girls,
isn't it?"
Observe girls...?

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"That's easy for you to
"say..."
I mean, it's not like
I'm completely against
seeing them get
changed, which is what
I was about to say when
Jean appeared again.

Jean
"Erin, what's going
on!? However much you
love Aaron, you
can't get changed
together!"
I know, but...

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"I know! Alright, get
out you two. Out!"
Erin pushed Jean
and I in the back and
chased us out of the
classroom.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
We left the classroom
with Erin pushing at
our backs, but I felt
totally awkward.




3rd Class: PE 3

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
(Heart pounding)
I ended up going into
Class 1's classroomc
This is bad. There are
girls are getting
changed all around me.
And Jean's getting
changed right next to
me...!

Jean
"What's wrong Erin?
Your face is red!"
Don't turn this way,
Jean.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"N...Nothing's wrong."
(Of course I'm
blushing! I've never
seen a girl other than
Erin changing!)

Jean
"Erin, are you really
OK?"
she said as she came
closer.
(Ah, don't come any
closer while you're so
skimpily dressed.)

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"I'm fine. Don't worry
about it."
I turned away in a
panic, but I could see
other girls changing.
What am I gonna do!




3rd Class: PE 4

Meanwhile...in the
boys' changing room.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Wow! You guys have
great bodies...
Totally different than
that slob Aaron."

Gene
"What's up? Does my
body look that nice,
Aaron?"

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Uh-huh, looks good.
I wish Aaron had
muscles like that.

Gene
"So you like muscular
girls eh?
Even though you've got
a girl like Erin..."

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"No, no. I mean it
would be great if I
had muscles like that."

Gene
"Well, you do hate
exercise, that's for
sure.




3rd Class: PE 5

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
(Huffing and puffing)
How far have we run
so far? I can't even
see the turning point
yet, so we haven't
even run 2 kilometers.
It's basketball for the
boys and running for
the girls for today's
PE lesson. I don't
like sports, so I'm no
good at either. But
running's the worst of
all...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
(Sound of falling)
Ah, my legs got tangled
and I've fallen.

Jean
"Woah! Erin, are
you okay?"
Jean, who had
already hit the
turning point, noticed
I had fallen and came
running over in a
panic...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"I...I can't go on."
It may only be half of
the boys' course, but
it's still 5 kilometers!
I can't do it...




3rd Class: PE 6

Meanwhile...in the
boy's class.

TWEEET

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Yeah! That's a three
point shot!"

Gene
"Aaron, you seem
more like Erin
today.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Huh!? Wh...Why?"

Gene
"Why? Because
you're usually no good
at sports."

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"What! W...well
Erin's been training
me lately."

Gene
"Really? Maybe the
day's coming when
you'll have muscles."

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"M...maybe"




3rd Class: PE 7

Jean
"Well, your face was
red when we were
changing. Have you got
a fever? Don't over
do it! The usual Erin
could easily run this
distance..."
Huh! I went red in the
face for a completely
different reason...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"......"
Just as I was thinking
how out of shape I am,
Erin came sprinting
toward me from around
the corner.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Aaron, are you
"okay?"
Erin helped support
me instead of Jean.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Huh? Erin. What
are you doing here?"
The boys have
basketball, so I
figured she'd be in
the gym. What made
her come here?




3rd Class: PE 8

The boys have
basketball, so I
figured she'd be in
the gym. What made
her come here?

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Look over there."
Erin pointed to the
gym.
Oh yeah. I was running
in the streets around
the school.
I guess Erin was
watching us run from
the gym.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"I see. I'm okay now
Thanks."
I tried to stand up
but was shaky, so I
ended up leaning on
Erin. I really am
terrible at sports.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"You're hopeless!
..Up we get."
she said and helped
me (in Erin's body!)
to the nurses office.

Jean
"Wow, Aaron. What
a man! You guys
really are in love!"
It'd be really cool
cool if it was actually
me helping Erin.




4th Class: Math 1

BING, BONG, BING, BONG
Sounds like the 4th
class is starting.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Oh, the class is about
to start. I have to
get back to the
classroom."
I should try and get
up. Incidentally, when
Erin brought me to
the nurse's office, the
nurse wasn't here, but
the door wasn't locked,
so I came in to rest
anyway. (I have no idea
why the door wasn't
locked.) Erin
stayed with me the
whole time.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"You must still be
tired. Since you're
already here, why don't
you rest till lunch
time?"
Yeah, I'm still tired
No doubt about it. I'd
like to keep resting,
but...




4th Class: Math 2

Yeah, I'm still tired
No doubt about it. I'd
like to keep resting,
but...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"But..."
I think math is next.
The teacher always
picks me to answer.
If Erin goes to the
class looking like me,
she'll be picked
instead. But if she
gets picked, she
probably won't be able
to answer. (To be honest,
Erin hates studying.)


Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"See you. Take it
easy."
Erin didn't seem at
all bothered about the
fact (maybe she wasn't
aware). She opened the
door and waved goodbye
as she left the
nurse's office.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"OK. Thanks."
She left. I wonder if
she'll be okay?
Knowing Erin, she'll
manage somehow.




4th Class: Math 3

Meanwhile, in Erin's
math class...

(Sound of door opening)

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Sorry I'm late."

Teacher
"Ah! Just in time.
Please answer the
question written on
the board.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"...Sorry, I have no
idea."

Teacher
"Not only are you late
for class, you can't
even solve the
problem. You've been
hanging around Erin
too much."

Jean
"That's not very nice!
Aaron just finished
looking after Erin
because she fell down
during PE. She's still
asleep in the nurse's
office so his mind is
on her rather than
the lesson.

Teacher
"Sorry."




4th Class: Math 4

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Man, I'm bored."
I'm not really that tired
anymore, and I feel
kind of awkward just
lying here in the
nurse's office. Wonder
what time it is? The
clock on the wall says
12:15. Five minutes
till the 4th class
finishes. What to do?
Guess I'll go back to
class in a minute.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"cYeah, I think I'll
go back."
If I go back now
though, the 4th class
will pretty much be
finished, so it'll be
lunch time. I'll have
lunch with Erin. But
if I eat a big lunch
just after getting
back from the nurse's
office, it might look
a little suspicious,
so maybe I'd better
keep a low profile for
a while.




4th Class: Math 5

If I go back now
though, the 4th
class will pretty much
be finished, so it'll
be lunch time.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Nurse, I'm fine. I'd
like to be excused."
I called to the nurse
and opened the door and
left. (By the way, the
nurse came back a
little while after
Erin left. When we
came to the nurse's
office, the nurse had
gone to the toilet and
forgot to lock the
door.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"I wonder if Erin's
okay? I wonder if the
math teacher asked her
any questions?"
Actually, he always
asks me questions, so
it'd be odd if he
didn't choose her.
I hope she didn't say
anything bizarre.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"I might as well go
back to the classroom
right away."
I walked briskly to the
classroom (there's no
running in the hall).
It's not far from the
nurse's office to the
classroom, so I'll get
there pretty fast.




4th Class: Math 6

(Sound of door opening)
I gently opened the
door at the back of the
classroom and went in.

Teacher
"Erin, you're back.
Is everything okay?"
he asked me as soon as
I entered the room
while tidying up his
notes and chalk. Looks
like he's just wrapping
up the lesson. He seems
to have finished
teaching for the day.

BING, BONG, BING, BONG
Ah, there's the bell!
Not that it really
matters. Doesn't look
like they were doing
anything much
anyway.

Teacher
"Class's over."
The teacher rushed out
of the classroom before
I could reply. Wonder
if he was expecting me
to say something?




Lunch Time 1

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Aaron, Jean.
Let's eat lunch
together."
As soon as the teacher
left the room, Erin
invited us for lunch as
usual.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Yeah, sure. Let's go
Jean."
Of course I intended
on eating lunch with
them, so I pulled my
lunchbox out of my bag
(Erin's bag of
course), and called to
Jean who was sitting
behind me. I followed
Erin, who started
walking ahead without
waiting for us.

Jean
"Hey, wait! Erin.
Aaron."
Jean hastily grabbed
her lunchbox and
caught up to us.
Hmm, wonder where
we're going? I should
ask Erin.




Lunch Time 2

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"We're here. Let's eat!
We arrived at the
courtyard. Erin sat
down on the grass
nearby and opened her
lunch box. The weather
is nice and warm, so
the grass is also warm.

Jean
"Yeah, let's eat."
Jean and I sat down
and took our lunches
out.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Ooh..."
The inside of the lunch
box was completely red.
Erin loves spicy
food. I can't handle it
though, so I don't know
if I can eat it.

Jean
"What's up? Aren't you
going to eat Erin?"
Jean knows Erin
loves spicy food...
If I don't eat it,
she'll think
something's up!




Lunch Time 3

Jean knows Erin
loves spicy food...
If I don't eat it,
she'll think
something's up!

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Yeah, I'm gonna eat.
(biting sound) Ugh."
Damn! That's hot! This
is a little hot for me.
There's no way I can
eat all this! Jean
thinks I'm (Erin
that is) not feeling
well, so maybe she
won't be surprised if
I don't eat much.

Jean
"Erin, don't force
yourself to eat if
you're not feeling
well."
Ah. I was right.
Jean thinks I'm not
eating anything because
I'm not well. Good!

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"You're right. I think
I'll leave it."
I hope Jean's not
too worried.
Sorry, Jean.
Guess I'll just take
the rest of my lunch
(Erin's lunch) home.




Lunch Time 4

Guess I'll just take
the rest of my lunch
(actually Erin's)
home.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"That was tasty. Huh?
If you're not going to
eat yours Aaron,
I'll have it."
(Takes a big bite)
Erin quickly finished
eating her lunch
(which was actually
mine) and then grabbed
the red glob of food
(which I'd hardly
touched) in my
lunchbox (actually
Erin's) and munched
on it.

Jean
"Heh? I thought you
hated spicy food.
Anyway, it's kinda
cute seeing you guys
sharing your lunchbox."
Is it? I'd prefer it
if she didn't make
such a big deal.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Thanks for the food."
Before I knew it, she'd
polished off my lunch
(actually her lunch).
Boy, can she eat.




5th Class: Japanese
Literature 1

Teacher
"Today, I'd like you to
read a book in the
library and write your
impressions. Alright,
let's go to the
library everybody."
Reading? I wonder if
Erin'll be OK? She's
the kind of person who
falls asleep at the
sight of a thick book.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"(Yawn). Erin, shall
we go to the library?
Jean?"
Erin seems kind of
sleepy, and we haven't
even gone to the
library yet! She just
finished eating so I
guess that's natural.
She looks totally
content after eating
both our lunches.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Yeah. Let's get
going."
If we don't go right
away, Erin looks
like she'll fall
asleep before we leave
for the library.
It won't make any
difference whether she
sleeps here or there
though I guess...




5th Class: Japanese
Literature 2

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Zzz, zzz"
Sure enough, she's
asleep...
Is it normal to fall
asleep the second you
you sit down in a
library?
Uh-oh! If the teacher
sees her, he'll think
it's me sleeping! He
doesn't seem to have
noticed yet, but if I
don't wake her up,
she'll be found out
for sure.

Jean
"What's up? Looks like
Aaron's asleep.
That's pretty unusual.
If it was Erin, no one
would be surprised ?
she's always dozing
off. Carrying her to
the nurse's office
and looking after her
during PE must have
really taken it out of
him. I guess he's not
used to that kind of
thing."
Hmm. I hardly ever
(actually never) sleep
during class, so
Jean thinks it's
okay. Maybe I'll let
Erin sleep for a
while.




5th Class: Japanese
Literature 3

Maybe I'll let
Erin sleep for a
while.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Yeah, guess not.
Why don't we leave him
alone for a while?"
She certainly did
something she's not
used to doing. And I'm
a big part of the
reason behind it, so I
guess I should let her
sleep for a while.

Jean
"OK. We have to make
sure the teacher
doesn't find him."
Alright. For
starters...

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Leave it to me."
I moved to the seat
in front of Erin (in
my body) to make it
harder to see her.
Wonder if that'll do
it?
I'll wake her up in a
while anyway, so it
should be okay.




After School 1

Bing, Bong, Bing, Bong
Oh. The 5th class's
over! Luckily, the
teacher didn't find
her sleeping. She
ended up sleeping
through the whole
class. I was thinking
of waking her part way
through, but she
looked so content, I
didn't have the heart
to wake her up. In the
end, those who
couldn't finish the
book report during
class have to do it
for homework by
tomorrow. There's no
way the average
person can read an
entire book and write a
report in an hour. So
most people have to
write their impressions
(and read the book)
for homework...
Including me.
Anyway, that's beside
the point. I have to
wake her up.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Erin, class is
over. Wake up."
That's the end of
classes for the day.
Let's go home right
away and find a way to
get our bodies back
to normal.




After School 2

That's the end of
classes for the day.
Let's go home right
away and find a way to
get our bodies back
to normal.

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"(Yawning)
Morning, Aaron.
Are classes finished
for the day? Let's go
go shopping now."
Erin pulled my arm
to go as soon as she
woke up. She sure is
rearing to go even
though she just woke
woke up! That's
nothing new. I agree.
let's go home...Huh?
What'd you say Erin?

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Hold on a second.
Shopping? What're you
talking about?"
Did I hear her wrong?
She said she wanted to
go shopping right?

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"Huh? Have you
forgotten already? You
promised to go this
morning."
Yeah, I do remember
But it hardly seems
like the right time to
go shopping.




After School 3

Jean
"Are you two going
shopping? Well, I'll
leave you two lovebirds
alone. Wouldn't wanna
be in the way! Byye."
She said and suddenly
left.
..Oh well, our
problem has nothing to
do with Jean, so
it's fine if she goes
home.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Your right. I
did promise. But we
need to do something
about our bodies
first."
But Erin kept
tugging at my arm
while facing toward me.
Seems kinda dangerous
facing backwards while
walking...

Erin (in Aaron's
body)
"That can wait till
later. Today...Oops!"
She almost tripped
because of looking at
me instead of looking
in front of herself.




After School 4

She almost tripped
because of looking at
me instead of looking
in front of herself.

Aaron (in Erin's
body)
"Be careful!"
I said as she kept
holding onto my arm
(Erin was about to
fall, so she had no
intention of letting
go of my arm in the
first place), sending
us tumbling down
together.

Erin & Aaron
"Oww! Ouch!''
Thump! Our heads
bumped together.

Aaron
"Owww. You OK?
What happened?"
Huh? Something weird
is going on.

Erin
"Yeah, I'm fine. But
my head totally...Huh?
What the...? Is that
you in front of me
Aaron?"
Yep. Erin's here
in front of me.
What the heck's going
on?




After School 5

Yep. Erin's here
in front of me.
What the heck's going
on?

Aaron
"Oh, Erin. You're
here in front of me."
She's always somewhere
nearby. But today was
different...I had been
staring down at her
body all day.

Erin
"Aaron, you're
here in front of me."
Erin had been
been staring down at
my body, just like me.

Aaron & Erin
"No way! You mean
we've returned to
normal?"
When I looked at
myself, I was the same
I had always been
until this morning. It
I had my own body back.
Erin was also
looking at herself.

Erin
"Since we're
back to normal let's
go shopping now,
Aaron!"
Why not? Our bodies
are back to normal, so
there's no reason to
say no.

Aaron
"Yeah. Let's go
Erin."

Ma'am, we have a problem.

Sally, you know you're not
supposed to run in the

Sally
I... I'm sorry.

Sally
Well, we got this in the

Miss Annie
An envelope? May I read the

Sally
Please do.

A letter was delivered to
Sally's house.


Miss Annie
All right, then... (rustle)
Let me see... "Tonight at 7,
I will take the roll that
is in your desk, left over
from your school lunch.
Star Lily, Bandit Girl." Oh
my! This is a warning!

Sally
It looks that way. What am I
going to do?

Miss Annie
Hmm, well... Seeing as how
we've been warned, why don't
we see if we can't stop her?

Sally
You know, my grandma said
that she fought bandits a
long time ago... Maybe this
is where I get my start as a
detective, then.

Miss Annie
Eh? You don't mean that your
grandmother is the famous
detective Andrea Vernet?

Sally
Yep, that's her. Have you
heard of her, Ma'am?



Episode 3

Previously:
The letter Sally got was a
warning from Star Lily,
Bandit Girl.


Miss Annie
Well, of course. Her battles
with Sandra, Bandit Girl,
were adapted for TV. I've
got the complete DVD set.

Sally
Well, if you like her that
much, I'll see if I can get
you her autograph.

Miss Annie
Oh, would you? I'd just love
to have your grandmother's
autograph!

Sally
OK, sure. Now, do you really
think I can take on Star
Lily, Bandit Girl?

Miss Annie
Sure you can, and I'll help
you. First, let's go over to
your desk. She'll have a
hard time stealing from it
with both of us standing
watch.

Sally
I see what you mean. All
right, from now on, I am
Sally, Girl Detective...

Let's have a look inside
your desk, Sally.

Sally, Girl Detective
OK. (rustle rustle) Oh no!
It's gone! The roll is
gone!

Miss Annie
What?

Sally, Girl Detective
I found this, left in its
place.

Miss Annie
A letter? Let's have a look.
"Received, one leftover
piece of school lunch roll.
Signed, Star Lily, Bandit
Girl." But how? When? We
were watching your desk the
whole time. How did she
manage to steal the roll
from inside your desk,
without us spotting her?

Sally, Girl Detective
Well, I guess this means
that Star Lily, Bandit Girl,
got us good this time
around.

Come to think of it, we

At last, Star Lily, Bandit
Girl, has shown herself!


Sally, Girl Detective
At last you show yourself,
Star Lily, Bandit Girl!

Miss Annie
Though that should be,
"Kimberly," properly
speaking.

Sally, Girl Detective
Huh? You don't mean the same
Kimberly who's in class with
me, do you?

Star Lily, Bandit Girl
No! How could you know who I
really am?

Sally, Girl Detective
Is it really Kimberly, Miss
Annie? How did you figure
out that Star Lily, Bandit
Girl, was really Kimberly?



Episode 20

Previously:
Star Lily, Bandit Girl, is
actually Kimberly?


Miss Annie
I knew it as soon as I heard
voice! And that mask can't
hide that hair. No one else
in school is both so short
and dyes her hair orange. It
had to be you, Kimberly.

Kimberly
Ha ha ha ha ha! Well done,
Miss Annie. I congratulate
you on seeing through my
disguise. I am still going
to take that leftover school
lunch roll, however.

Sally, Girl Detective
You may find that easier
said than done. There's a
trap for Star Lily, Bandit
Girl, in this desk.

Miss Annie
When did you have a chance
to do that?



Episode 21

Previously
Sally, Girl Detective, has
set a trap for Star Lily,
Bandit Girl.


Kimberly
Ha ha ha ha ha! Were you
referring to this, by any
chance?

Miss Annie
A bag with school lunch
roll in it...?

Sally, Girl Detective
No way... When did you...?

Kimberly
I found it on the chair when
I came to check the scene
for this evening's theft,
and so gladly took it.

Sally, Girl Detective
I was so certain that if I
left another one out, you
wouldn't know which one was
mine...

Miss Annie
I don't think it would
matter, though, because
either one would be
"leftover school lunch
roll..." Wait, why do you
keep stealing leftover
school lunch roll, and only
Sally's, at that...?



Episode 22

Previously:
Why is Star Lily, Bandit
Girl, stealing only Sally's
roll?


Kimberly
Ha ha ha ha ha! You mean,
not even you understand,
Miss Annie? All right, I'll
tell you why, since you
figured out who I really am.
Come here, Doughboy.

Doughboy
Whine, whine!

Sally, Girl Detective
Oh, it's a puppy! How cute!

Miss Annie
I guess, though I'm not
really very fond of dogs...
So what's the dog got to do
with it?

Kimberly
You see, I found him
abandoned by the school
gates on B Day of D Month.
And I didn't have anything
to feed him that day, so I
thought of who might have
something, and I remembered
that Sally always leaves her
school lunch roll in her
desk, and...



Episode 23

Previously
Doughboy is such a cute
little puppy.


Kimberly
Lots of kids save their
school lunch rolls. Only
Sally leaves hers at school,
however. So...

Sally, Girl Detective
I get it now... So Star
Lily, Bandit Girl, was born
on that day...

Miss Annie
But why go to all the
trouble of stealing it? We'd
have helped you, if you'd
only asked.

Kimberly
Well, you know... there was
just something so cool about
playing the phantom thief...
But that's over now. I can't
very well go on being Star
Lily, Bandit Girl, now that
you know who I really am and
all that...



Episode 24

Previously:
Today marks the end of Star
Lily, Bandit Girl's wave of
crime.


Sally, Girl Detective
A-ha! Then this will be the
first and last showdown
between Star Lily, Bandit
Girl, and Sally, Girl
Detective, am I right?

Miss Annie
In that case, I'm most
likely going to get in the
way.

Sally, Girl Detective
Oh no, please, stay and
watch us!

Kimberly
Yes, I want you to see this
too!

Miss Annie
All right. Give it all
you've got, both of you.

Kimberly
Thank you. Now, shall we
begin, Sally?


Sally, Girl Detective
You bet!



Episode 25

Previously:
Sally, Girl Detective, and
Star Lily, Bandit Girl have
had their Showdown.


Miss Annie
So I spoke with the
principal, and he agrees
that we can keep Doughboy in
class with us. It's all been
settled.

Kimberly
All right!

Sally, Girl Detective
That's good!

Kimberly
Yeah. Thanks.

Classmates
Never mind that! What we
want to know is, how did the
showdown between Sally, Girl
Detective, and Star Lily,
Bandit Girl, turn out? Who
won?

Sally, Girl Detective
Well, you see...

Kimberly
It's a secret.

Sally, Girl Detective
Uh-huh.

By the way, if you bring

But if you bring fruit for
dessert, you have to eat it
it with your lunch. If you
eat it at any other time, it
counts as part of your

that case, you'll go over
budget and your snack will
be confiscated.
OK, those are all the

Mom to buy them for me at

works, and she gets a 30%
staff discount there, so I
could make 30% more cookies
for the same price."
"Well, it never occurred to

Red's house. It takes him

at 7.45 a.m.. At this rate,
he should just make it on
time (although he won't have
time to stop, except at
traffic lights. As if to
spite him, the traffic
lights at the road he has to
cross are now flashing.
"Darn, it's no good
crossing at street level",

loses 15 seconds.  If he
carries on crossing roads

late!

yells, "Sorry about that,

"I guess you woke up at
7.43 and you were going to
be late so you rushed out of
the house without any
breakfast, and you would

There's nothing wrong with
idea itself. But out in the

single shop selling anything
like sweets or cakes, and
they don't have any

"It's tough going, for

use one of these?", says
Blue, taking a snack from
his pack and offering it
to his friend.
"Thanks!" (munch, munch)
"Aaagh! It's hot! Much too
hot! What is it, anyway?"
"It's a super-hot chilli
bun. They boost your energy.
Can't you feel it working?"
"Huh? If anything, it's
making me feel even more
exhausted, and my mouth
feels like it's coated with
chilli pepper. Have you got
anything else?"

"I don't know what it's
called, but it's a kind of

"He's been like this for

to do himself some damage?"
"I'm sure he'll be OK. I

and I went crazy for about
10 minutes, and then I went

Invincible Ultror isn't

The Girl Who Reads Books


She always stands in the
same car of the same train,
at the same time of day,
with her back against the
doors. When the train starts
up, she puts her briefcase
down, between her feet, and
takes out a pocket book,
with its cover neatly in
place. She seems to use
dead leaves for bookmarks,
for she turns to a page
where just such a left is
pressed, and goes on
reading.

When we get to the next
station, the train stops,
and she totters slightly as
the doors against which she
was leaning open, causing
the leaf to fall gently from
her book. She hurries to try
to catch it, but misses, and
and it falls to the floor.
So she picks it up, dusts it
off, puts it back in the
back of her book, and
continues reading.

We were approaching her
station. She took the leaf
from the back of her book,
stuck it at the point where
she was leaving off, and
closed the book. Then she
put it in her briefcase,
which she slung over her
shoulder as she turned to
face the doors. When the
train stopped and the doors
opened, she got off.

The Two Girls


She always stands in the
same car of the same train,
at the same time of day, in
the same spot, waiting for
the next stop, her eyes
squeezed shut, because the
next stop is the one where
her friend gets on.

When the train stops, she
slowly opens her eyes and
turns to look at the doors.
She smiles, because she can
see her friend standing on
the other side. The doors
open, and her friend runs
over to where she is
standing. They give each
other a great big hug, then
promptly start talking. They
seem to be talking about the
final exams that are coming
up, starting next week.

The station where they get
off is coming up. Now they
suddenly seem to have
switched from talking about
tests to badmouthing a
certain teacher they don't
like. The train has stopped,
however, and as the doors
open, they get off, holding
hands.




File 26
The Girl Who Looks Outside


She always sits alone in the
same place, on the same
train, at the same time. She
keeps her face turned to the
window, looking at nothing
but the passing view. I
don't know what her face
looks like, as a result.
Though when the train goes
through a tunnel, I can see
the reflection of her face
in the glass, I still don't
really know just what she
looks like...

When the train stops at the
next station, it shakes her
up, just a little. A new
passenger is sitting down
next to her. She turns to
this person for just an
instant before promptly
looking back out the window.

Aside from that, she keeps
staring out the window, just
as she always does.

As we approach her station,
she gets up before we reach
the platform and walks to
the doors, again, as she
always does. Once there, she
again stares out the window,
of course, not moving at
all, until the train stops
and the doors open, she gets
off.

The Sleeping Girl


She always sits alone,
asleep, in the same place on
the same train, everyday.
She moves in time to the
shaking of the train. When
it moves side to side, her
body moves side to side as
well, and her head hits the
window, good and hard,
enough to wake even her.
She rubs the bump on her
head, cowering. It must
really have hurt, for she is
shaking all over, and her
eyes are welling with tears.
After a bit, the pain seems
to be easing, for she shifts
in place, closes her eyes,
and tries to go back to
sleep.

The train stops at the next
station, whereupon she opens
her eyes slightly, only to
close them and go back to
sleep once she sees it isn't
her stop.

A bit further on, the train
approached her stop. She
showed no sign of waking up
yet, however.




File 31
The Girl Awakens


She always sits alone,
asleep, in the same place on
the same train, everyday.
The train stopped at her
station, but she still shows
no sign of waking up.

Even after the doors closed
and the train left the
station, she slept on...

A little later, she woke up.
After a bit, she realized
where she was, and looked
around in a panic. Then she
struck her forehead with the
palm, as if to say, oh no, I
did it again. Then she got
up and walked over to the
doors, where she waited for
the train to reach the next
station.

Once there, she promptly got
off and ran to the opposite<bh:82><bh:c9>
platform, there to wait for
the train. It did not look
as though there would be a
train anytime soon, however.




File 47
The Girl Who Eats on the
Train


She always sits alone, in
the same place, on the same
train, everyday. And she is
always eating something
while on the train, too.
Maybe she's always waking up
without enough time to enjoy
a leisurely breakfast at
home. Whatever the case,
today she's having an egg
salad sandwich and 100%
apple juice. She puts the
sandwich container on her
lap, holding the sandwich in
her left hand, and the apple
juice in her right. She eats
one piece of her sandwich at
a time, taking a swallow of
her apple juice after each
piece. Then she picks up the
next piece of the sandwich,
and starts on that.

When she has finished it
all, she crushes the juice
box, and sticks it in the
sandwich pack. Then she
picks up these packages and
her briefcase, and stands
up. Just then, the train
reaches her stop, and the
doors open. As soon as she
gets off, she puts her trash
in the nearby trash can, and
heads down the stairs.




File 51
The Girl Who Stumbles


We stop at the station for
about a minute. The train
will be pulling out any time
now. She'll be coming to the
platform right then, too. I
wonder if she'll make it
this time.

There's the signal. The
train is about to leave the
station. Just then, I hear
the sound of feet running up
the stairs. Is it her? Yes,
it is: just as she reaches
the top of the stairs, she
trips and falls, apparently
banging her knee on the
platform. She rubs it and
tries to get up, just in
time to see the doors close.
The apparent shock of seeing
the doors close right before
her eyes seems to have made
her pain, as she stands up
again. The train is already
underway, however, and she
won't be catching it. I
wonder whether she'll be
like this every day, just
like today: stuck there,
waiting for the next train.




File 67
The Girl Who Bumps Into
Things


She always sits alone, in
the same place, on the same
train, everyday. Her
briefcase is at her feet,
and she holds tightly to
what looks like a racquet
case, maybe for tennis or
something.

We stop at a station and
people get on. One of these
people jostles the carrying
case that she is holding. It
is pretty big, and sticks
out into the aisle. She
promptly gets to her feet
and apologizes, bowing her
head, though the person she
bumped doesn't appear to
take much notice. While all
of this is going on, the
doors close and the train
takes off. Her awkward pose,
head bowed, causes her to
pitch forward, bumping into
the very person to whom she
was apologizing, causing her
to turn bright red and
apologize even more
fiercely. He did not seem to
be overly concerned by this
either, however, and simply
sat down next to her.




File 68
The Girl Who Apologizes


She always sits alone, in
the same place, on the same
train, everyday. Her
briefcase is at her feet,
and she holds tightly to
what looks like a racquet
case, maybe for tennis or
something.

Her stop is approaching, and
she gets up to get ready to
get off the train. As she
does so, her carrying case
hits the man sitting next to
her, in the face. She
promptly apologizes, bowing
her head, though he does not
appear terribly concerned.
Meanwhile, the train stops.
Her unnatural stance causes
her to stumble and bump into
the very man to whom she is
already apologizing. She
turns a bright red and
apologizes even more
fiercely. The man says
something to her, which I
imagine must be along the
lines of, hurry up and go
before the doors close. She
keeps on apologizing, even
as she gets off the train.
She stops outside and
apologizes some more. She
continues apologizing even
as the doors close, and the
train takes off.




File 80
The Girl Who Stares


She always sits alone, in
the same place, on the same
train, everyday. And she
always stares at a single
point: a certain person,
sitting in the next car...

She doesn't say anything or
approach this person. She
just stares.

Sometimes, the person in the
next car turns to look her
way, whereupon she promptly
turns her gaze the other
way. As soon as that person
looks away, however, she
starts staring again. Why?
And why isn't she watching
from inside the same car,
for that matter?

In time, we get to her
station. She gets off, not
without some sense of
regret, still staring at
that same person. Even after
she gets off the train, and
the doors have closed, and
the train pulls away, she
still keeps staring

###############################
a) F-3.14 MGP Racing (magf314r)
###############################

Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Sylvia
On Futaba
Using Spirit Magic


Her magic is well-balanced
between offense and defense,
and she always races well.





*Miltonia
On Sprite
Using White Magic


She uses restorative magic,
so she prefers to race
pretty hard, and then heal
herself afterwards.


That's all for today. The
first match will be the day
after tomorrow.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Leatrice
On Sana
Using Voodoo


She can always be seen
going around before the race
with dolls and needles. She
doesn't do much at all
during the race proper.





*Lavender
On Starlight
Using Divination


She always divines who will
win before a race starts.
Rumor has it her predictions
are 100% accurate.


That's all for today. The
first match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the first
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


From the start, the race was
between Sylvia and Lupinus.
Sylvia's Wind Magic gave her
an early lead over Lupinus,
but Lupinus stuck to Sylvia
like glue for the rest of
the race!
In the final lap, Lupinus
cast an illusionary turn on
Sylvia, who was 0.2 seconds
ahead, but Sylvia's Earth
Magic blocked it easily, and
she held on to her lead and
won the race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Sylvia
2nd Place: Lupinus

Can anyone catch her when
she uses her Shining Wing
spell?





*Cosmos
On Peony
Using Darkness Magic


Cosmos, Daisy's twin sister,
has magic opposite but
almost as powerful in her
Dark Wing spell, which ought
to be interesting.


That's all for today. The
second match will be the day
after tomorrow.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Amaryllis
On Sakuya
Using Flower Magic


All her magic does is create
flowers, which really isn't
that useful in racing...





*Liliac
On Karin
Trainee in Magic


As a trainee, Lilac has no
magic yet. Let's hope she
eventually makes good.


That's all for today. The
second match will be
tomorrow.   The results of the second
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Sylvia continues to perform
very well, while Lupinus had
trouble with her machine and
couldn't use much magic,
giving her a hard time. The
Light-Dark Sisters, Daisy
and Cosmos, nearly gained on
Sylvia with their Light and
Dark Wing spells, but
couldn't quite make it, and
Sylvia stayed in the lead to
win her second consecutive
race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Moraea
On Natsuki
Using Summoning Magic


I've never seen her summon
anything, though, so I don't
rightly know just what this
means.





*Lupinus
On Misuzu
Using Illusion Magic


All she does is illusion, so
if you figure that out,
she's totally powerless.


That's all for today. The
third match will be the day
after tomorrow.

F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Sylvia hit Leatrice, who was
lagging behind, taking them
both out of the race! That
led to Lupinus taking the
lead, and comfortably
winning the race.

Miltonia, Daisy, and Cosmos
fought it out for 2nd Place,
with Miltonia using her
restorative magic in the
final lap, easily holding on
to 2nd Place.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

That's all for today. The

F-3.14 MGP Race are:


This race belonged to Daisy
and Cosmos. In the first lap
they suddenly combined their
magics into a Shining Dark
Wing, and promptly pulled
ahead of the pack to take
the lead!
They then held off all
comers together, to take
first and second place.
Sylvia came in third in
this race, with Daisy two
points behind her current
1st Place ranking in the
overall standings.
Leatrice hit Amaryllis, thus
wiping out again, following
her collision with Sylvia in
the previous race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

she's totally powerless.


That's all for today. The
fifth match will be
tomorrow.   The results of the fifth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Prior to the start of the
race, Lavender advised Daisy
against entering, telling
her that her divination
foretold that they would
collide and be out of the
race. Naturally, Daisy paid
no heed to this advice, and
entered the race as
scheduled. Then, in the
twelfth lap, Daisy and
Cosmos were using their
combined magic, when they
came upon Lavender, who was
already being lapped. Daisy
tried to force her way past
Lavender, only to run into
her instead. Given that the
collision happened while
Daisy was using her magic,
there is greater concern for
the state of her mind than
that of her body.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

The results of the sixth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Owing to the serious
injuries they sustained when
they collided in the last
race, Daisy and Lavender
were scratched this time.
With Daisy out of the race,
Cosmos had a hard time of
it, because she couldn't use
their combination magic. The
battle for first place was
thus between Lupinus,
Sylvia, and Miltonia, who
has been in good form as of
late. In the end, Lupinus
used her mirror images to
break away from the pack and
win the race. Her total
point standing is now equal
to that of Sylvia.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Everybody's favorite racer,
Daisy, is back at last! And
as expected, she and Cosmos
led the way right from the
start with their combination
magic. And from the looks of
things, it seems fair to say
that Daisy is completely
recovered from her accident.
A fierce battle for third
place broke out between
Sylvia and Miltonia, which
ended in the final lap, when
Miltonia, having exhausted
her magic power, was
helpless to stop Sylvia from
using her wind magic to pass
her by.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Sylvia
On Yotsuba
Using Spirit Magic


Sylvia's new machine,
Yotsuba, can apparently
change into any of four
different forms, in
accordance with whichever
magic she is using at a
given time. We'll just have
to see what this is all
about.





*Miltonia
On Sprite
Using White Magic


She uses restorative magic,
so she prefers to race
pretty hard, and then heal
herself afterwards.


That's all for today. The
eighth match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the eighth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Lupinus, who was first in
the qualifying round, made
effective use of her mirror
image and other magics to
keep anyone else from
getting past her, holding on
to the lead all the way to
the final lap. As a result,
she also took top place in
the overall standings away
from Sylvia. Speaking of
whom, she staked the race on
her new machine, Yotsuba.
Due to it not being properly
tuned yet, however, she only
came in sixth. Oh, and while
it isn't that big a deal, we
feel we should mention that
Lavender earned her first
points ever, as per her
divination prior to the
start of the race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

The results of the ninth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:

The weather was bad for
today's race, meaning that
it was raining so hard
during the race that you
couldn't see anything beyond
a few meters. So, while
everyone else took it slow
and easy, Miltonia charged
ahead, unconcerned about
getting hurt, thanks to
liberal use of her
restorative magics. In this
reckless manner, she managed
to take first place, though
she also ended up overdoing
it in the process, hurting
herself pretty badly. It
now looks as though she
won't make it to the final
race, which is a real shame,
seeing as how she finally
took top place in the
overall standings, too.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Miltonia

9th: Leatrice: 1


And there you have it.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Amaryllis
On Sakuya
Using Flower Magic


All her magic does is create
flowers, which really isn't
that useful in racing...





*Liliac
On Karin
Trainee in Magic


As a trainee, Lilac has no
magic yet. Let's hope she
eventually makes good.


That's all for today. The
final match will be the
day after tomorrow.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Moraea
On Natsuki
Using Summoning Magic


I've never seen her summon
anything, though, so I don't
rightly know just what this
means.





*Lupinus
On Misuzu
Using Illusion Magic


All she does is illusion, so
if you figure that out,
she's totally powerless.


That's all for today. The
final match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the final
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Sadly, Miltonia had to be
scratched, and thus, the
championship came down to
the top three point holders.
Yotsuba, Sylvia's new
machine, finally showed us
what it can do. This machine
has four modes that are
capable of handling any
terrain, including a wind
mode that not even the
combination magic used by
Daisy and Cosmos could beat.
This victory put Sylvia back
on top in total points. Our
congratulations to her.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:

9th (unch.): Leatrice  1


And there you have it.



Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Sylvia
On Yotsuba
Using Spirit Magic


Sylvia's new machine,
Yotsuba, can apparently
change into any of four
different forms, in
accordance with whichever
magic she is using at a
given time. We'll just have
to see what this is all
about.





*Miltonia
On Sprite
Using White Magic


She uses restorative magic,
so she prefers to race
pretty hard, and then heal
herself afterwards.


That's all for today. The
first match will be the day
after tomorrow.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Licorice
On Makoto
Using Spatial Magic


Licorice's spatial
interchange magic, which
enables her to change places
with anyone else, may well
be the most powerful magic
of all.





*Lavender
On Starlight
Using Divination


She always divines who will
win before a race starts.
Rumor has it her predictions
are 100% accurate.


That's all for today. The
first match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the first
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


In her first race ever,
Licorice came in first. What
happened was that in the
final lap, she sneakily used
her spatial interchange
magic to switch places with
Sylvia, who had been in the
lead up to that point. There
are calls now, however, for
this type of magic to be
banned as too dangerous for
use in certain spellcasting
situations. Further
information will be reported
as it becomes available.
Sylvia ended up dead last,
by the way.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Licorice
2nd Place: Daisy

F-3.14 MGP Race are:

And there you have it.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Daisy
On Peony
Using Light Magic


Can anyone catch her when
she uses her Shining Wing
spell?





*Cosmos
On Peony
Using Darkness Magic


Cosmos, Daisy's twin sister,
has magic opposite but
almost as powerful in her
Dark Wing spell.


That's all for today. The
second match will be the
day after tomorrow.


The results of the second
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Licorice, who had just won
her first race, is on the
injured list. It seems that
her spatial interchange
magic burns a fair amount of
magic power, and thus, can't
be used all that often. As
for Sylvia, she was still
apparently pretty burned by
having ended up dead last in
the previous race, and just
didn't run a very good race
at all this time around. In
the event, this race came
down to Daisy and Cosmos on
the one hand, and Lupinus on
the other. By skillfully
interposing her mirror
images between Daisy and
Cosmos, Lupinus was able to
keep them from using their
combination magic, and thus
win the race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

That's all for today. The
third match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the third
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


As with the previous race,
Licorice sat out this one
too. The difference is that
she didn't enter this one,
she says, because she didn't
very much feel like it,
adding that she would be in
the next one, however. It
thus appeared that this race
would be down to Daisy and
Cosmos versus Lupinus again,
just like the previous one,
except that Miltonia also
joined in this time, to make
it a three-sided contest.
The outcome was decided when
Daisy and Cosmos used a
momentary advantage to cast
their combination magic,
thus taking first and second
place, followed by Miltonia
and Lupinus, in that order.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

are as follows:


*Licorice

Licorice's spatial
interchange magic, which

be the most powerful magic
of all.

Using Divination


She always divines who will
win before a race starts.
Rumor has it her predictions
are 100% accurate.


That's all for today. The
fourth match will be the day
after tomorrow.

The results of the fourth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Licorice, who had been
on the injured list ever
since winning her very first
race ever, got back on the
track for the first time
today. Sylvia wasted no time
in complaining to Licorice
about the magic that
Licorice used in that first
race, however. People around
them stopped the conflict at
the time, but words don't
appear to have been enough
for Sylvia, whose anger came
out in a bad way during the
race, when she collided with
Lupinus, taking them both
out of the running. Licorice
went on to win the race,
without using her spatial
interchange magic.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

eventually makes good.


That's all for today. The
fifth match will be the
day after tomorrow.


The results of the fifth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


This time around, Lavender's
divination foretold that she
and Daisy were going to
collide. Naturally, Daisy
wasn't going to take news
like that lying down. She
did her level best to stay
away from Lavender during
the race, only to suddenly
find herself being lapped.
And wouldn't you know it?
Just then, Lavender's
machine breaks down,
decelerates, and slides over
to hit Daisy, who at this
point is behind her at an
angle, taking them both out
of the race. It appears
there really is no escape
from Lavender's divinations,
after all. As a result of
her crash, Daisy was passed
up in the overall standings
by Licorice.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Sylvia's new machine,
Yotsuba, can change into any

magic she is using at a

The results of the sixth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


This time around, it was
Daisy's turn to get nailed
by Licorice's spatial
interchange magic. She ended
up right smack behind
Amaryllis and Moraea, and,
unable to effectively dodge
either of them, instead
plowed into them both, thus
taking all three of them out
of the race. Daisy thus fell
to third place in the
overall standings, being
passed up in the process by
her sister, Cosmos. The
question now is, having used
her spatial interchange
magic, will Licorice sit out
the next race, as happened
last time?

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

The results of the seventh
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


To no one's surprise,
Licorice did indeed sit out
this race Instead, the
winner of this race turned
out to be Lupinus, on her
brand new machine, Maho. By
skillfully blocking Daisy
and Cosmos from using their
magic, she kept the field
running at her own pace,
from start to finish, taking
the win without a struggle.
As a result, Lupinus, Daisy,
and Cosmos are now in a
three-way tie for second
place in the overall
standings.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Using Summoning Magic


I've never seen her summon

*Lupinus

Lupinus's new machine, Maho,

than its predecessor, though
you can't necessarily tell
for sure from just a single

The results of the eighth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Licorice made a rapid return
to the field. The big
interest in this race was
how she would fare against
Lupinus, with her new
machine. As it turned out,
however, not even this new
and improved Lupinus could
stop Licorice. In the middle
of the race, Licorice found
herself caught between
Lavender and Amaryllis, who
had been lapped, and it
looked as though she was in
trouble for a while. She
escaped through teleporting
ahead in the last turn,
however, to take the win,
handily. With two races left
to go, Licorice may just
have a lock on the
championship title already.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

The results of the ninth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


It may or may not come as a
surprise, but Licorice won
this race too, and by a
margin of 52 seconds over
second place finisher
Miltonia. This victory means
that Licorice has already
won the championship,
regardless of the outcome of
the final race. That doesn't
mean the competition is all
over, though. We hope that
all the competitors will
give their all in the next
race, even though the
championship has already
been decided, and they're
not likely to feel all that
motivated, as a result...

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the

The results of the final
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


This last race was pretty
lackluster, probably owing
to the fact that Licorice
already had the championship
all sewn up for this season.
Only Licorice and Sylvia
made a real race of it, in
fact. And even though she
was no match for Licorice,
Sylvia still managed to take
second place with a two
minute edge over third-place
finisher Lupinus.

can take on any of four
different forms, in

good one.

She uses restorative magic,

The results of the first
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


It's only the first race of
the season, but things are
off to a riotous start. If
you can imagine, Eucomyth,
running in her first race
ever, found herself in a
showdown against Daisy and
Cosmos, the Children of
Light and Darkness
themselves, who were using
new models of their Peony
machines. Licorice, who won
the previous championship by
an overwhelming margin, was
handicapped this time around
by a malfunctioning machine.
She attempted to recover
midway through the race by
means of her spatial
interchange magic. Eucomyth,
however, avoided it, amazing
as that sounds, and coasted
to a win. Licorice ended up
coming in sixth.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

1st: Eucomyth  10

3rd: Cosmos  4
4th: Lupinus  3
5th: Sylvia  2
6th: Licorice  1


And there you have it.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Daisy
On Peony
Using Light Magic


Can anyone catch her when
she uses her Shining Wing
spell?





*Cosmos
On Peony
Using Darkness Magic


Cosmos, Daisy's twin sister,
has magic opposite but
almost as powerful in her
Dark Wing spell.


That's all for today. The
second match will be the day
after tomorrow.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Eucomyth
On Kyoko
Using Temporal Magic


She may be new to the game,
but she's got powerful
magic. How do you stop
someone who can stop time
itself?





*Liliac
On Karin
Trainee in Magic


As a trainee, Lilac has no
magic yet. Let's hope she
eventually makes good.


That's all for today. The
second match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the second
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Licorice, who struggled in
the last race with machine
troubles, was in top form
this time around. In the
final lap, however, Eucomyth
apparently used her ultimate
magic, personal time, and
took first place while all
the rest of us were frozen
in time. That time stop
affected everyone, myself
included, which means that
even I don't rightly know
just what happened. The
point is, Eucomyth suddenly
popped in front of Licorice,
and was thus first across
the line.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Eucomyth
2nd Place: Licorice
3rd Place: Daisy


The results of the second
F-3.14 MGP Race are:

6th (down): Sylvia  2
7th (up): Miltonia  1


And there you have it.


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Sylvia
On Mayo
Using Spirit Magic


Sylvia's new machine, Mayo,
is an upgraded model of her
Yotsuba machine. It, too,
can take on any of four
different forms, in
accordance with whichever
magic she is using at a
given time. It's another
good one.





*Miltonia
On Sprite
Using White Magic


She uses restorative magic,
so she prefers to race
pretty hard, and then heal
herself afterwards.


That's all for today. The
third match will be
tomorrow.   The results of the third
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Eucomyth must still have
been feeling the
aftereffects of using her
ultimate temporal magic in
the last race. Whatever the
reason, she was unable to
dodge the Blue Dragon that
Moraea summoned this time,
and it blew her off the
track. Moraea was herself
caught up in the collateral
effects, however, which
wiped her out as well, thus
leaving the field clear for
Licorice. Lupinus fought
back with all she had, but
to no avail, as Licorice
sailed to her first victory
of the season.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

6th (up): Miltonia  3


And there you have it.


The results of the fourth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Even before this race
started, there already was a
major upset in the works.
Lavender's divination
foretold that she would
collide with Eucomyth in the
race, taking them both out.
Eucomyth paid attention to
the warning, and stayed out
of the race, as did
Lavender, possibly out of
respect for Eucomyth's
decision. Licorice was also
out of today's race. The
word is she had an upset
stomach.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Moraea
On Natsuki
Using Summoning Magic


I've never seen her summon
anything, though, so I don't
rightly know just what this
means.





*Lupinus
On Maho
Using Illusion Magic


Lupinus's new machine, Maho,
sure seems more powerful
than its predecessor, though
you can't necessarily tell
for sure from just a single
glance.


That's all for today. The
fifth match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the fifth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


This race had the first
showdown between Eucomyth
and  Licorice in three runs.
Eucomyth ran the field at
her own pace, and Licorice
couldn't get past her. She
appeared to hesitate to use
her spatial interchange
magic, however, perhaps out
of fear that Eucomyth might
dodge it altogether, as she
did the last time they met.
Instead, she burned her
magic power in teleporting,
but it wasn't quite good
enough. Licorice came in
second behind Eucomyth, who
now once again holds first
place in the overall
standings.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

That's all for today. The

after tomorrow.


The results of the sixth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Lavender's divination
foretold that she and Cosmos
would collide during today's
race, taking them both out.
There was no way that Cosmos
would simply take such news
lying down, however. And
wouldn't you know it,
Lavender was right. Just
before being taken out,
though, Cosmos transferred
all of her remaining magic
power to Daisy, thus giving
her what she needed to win
the race, by putting all of
the magic power she'd been
given into her Shining Wing
throughout all the remaining
laps.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

That's all for today. The
seventh match will be
tomorrow.


The results of the seventh
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


As before, this race came
down to Eucomyth and
Licorice, the latter using
her teleport power with
timing so exquisite that it
seemed certain that she
would pass up Eucomyth. Only
thing was, Eucomyth used
foresight with the exact
same timing to know what
Licorice was going to do
before she did it, thus
blocking her completely.
Both Daisy and Cosmos were
out of today's race, the
latter because she used up
an excessive amount of magic
power on her sister in the
previous race.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Eucomyth
2nd Place: Licorice
3rd Place: Lupinus


Racers in the F-3.14 MGP
are as follows:


*Moraea
On Natsuki
Using Summoning Magic


I've never seen her summon
anything, though, so I don't
rightly know just what this
means.





*Lupinus
On Misuzu
Using Illusion Magic


All she does is illusion, so
if you figure that out,
she's totally powerless.


That's all for today. The
8th match will be the day
after tomorrow.

are as follows:



*Moraea

Lupinus's new machine, Maho,

That's all for today. The
eighth match will be the day
after tomorrow.


The results of the eighth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Sylvia plowed smack into a
wall toward the end of the
race, wiping herself out in
spectacular fashion. Pieces
of her machine Yotsuba flew
everywhere, with several of
them connecting with
Eucomyth, who was right
behind her at the time.
Eucomyth's machine Kyoko
started to fail on her, such
that she ended up coming in
second, having been passed
up by Licorice. Eucomyth is
still tops in the overall
rankings, however, with a
nine-point lead over
Licorice. Can Licorice make
up the deficit in the two
races remaining this season?

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

Race Results:
1st Place: Licorice
2nd Place: Eucomyth

8th (unch.): Moraea 2


And there you have it.


The results of the ninth
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


As Lupinus and Miltonia were
fighting it out for fifth
place, they found themselves
lapped by Eucomyth. The
sheer intensity of their
battle, however, snagged
Eucomyth, giving her no way
to get safely past. And just
then, Licorice came up from
behind. In desperation,
Eucomyth tried using her
ultimate personal time
magic, leaving herself with
no concentration or defense,
when ripples from the magic
being thrown off by Lupinus
and Miltonia ahead of her
caused her to lose her
balance and pitch forward,
taking both of them out of
the race with her. As a
consequence, only one point
now separates first and
second place in the overall
rankings.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

That's all for today. The
final match will be the day
after tomorrow.

The results of the final
F-3.14 MGP Race are:


Even if Daisy had managed to
win this race, she could not
have won the championship if
either Eucomyth or Licorice
came in second. Thus, this
final race, as with so many
others this season, came
down to a contest between
Eucomyth and Licorice. And
Eucomyth ran the field at
her own pace, up until the
final stretch, whereupon
Licorice used her spatial
inversion magic. Eucomyth,
who had been expecting that
move with ease. Licorice,
however, wasted no time in
doing it again, something
that Eucomyth apparently
hadn't expected, because she
got nailed by it, a direct
hit, with the net result
being that Licorice won the
race, and her second
championship title in a row.
Our go congratulations go
out to her.

For now, we have the top
three racers. We'll post the
full results tomorrow.

"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher.
Today, I will tell you some
of the facts and rumors that
I have learned regarding
mines.

Up to now, it had been
assumed that digging up the
ground at the Mine by the
Spring would only unearth
Gold or Black Grass.
Recently, however, the idea
that other things may be
found there has found favor
with many. One such find is
is the "Power Berry"about
which the presence of I may
claim with 100% certainty,
based on my own
investigations. It may be
found 100 levels
underground.

Another is the "Mystery
Slab." While it is true,
however, that it is there to
be found, we do not know
exactly where it is located,
perhaps due to it being
buried very deep indeed. We
will inform you as soon as
we have more information
regarding this object.
That's all for this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

It is known that the
following things are
comparatively common finds
when one breaks rocks at the
Mine of the Spring:
Junk Ore, Copper,
Silver, Gold, MYstrile,
Orichalch, and Adamantite.
Two more unusual objects
known to be found there,
however, are the "Teleport
Stone" and the "Goddess
Jewel." As to where
in the mine they can be
found, however, well... It
appears that our time is up
for today, so I will talk
more on this subject next
time. That's all for this
week."*Mine Research Group


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

We have learned that among
the things to be found by
breaking rocks at the Mine
of the Spring are the
Teleport Stone and the
Goddess Jewel. We believe
that the former is probably
found on the lowest level of
the mine, while the latter
is scattered here and there,
and thus, we do not know all
the places where it may be
found. We only know of two
such places at this time,
the 102nd and 202nd levels
of the mine. I will inform
you of any more information
on this subject. That's all
for this week."


"Good day. My name is Karin
and I am a mine researcher.
Today, I will tell you some
of the facts and rumors that
I have learned regarding
mines.

As with the Mine of the
Spring, we have found that
Power Berries can also be
found in digging at the Mine
of the Lake. My
investigations show that
they can be found on the
19th level of the Mine.

Also, there have been rumors
in some quarters about
"Cursed Tools." Word now
reaches us that such tools
have been found at the Mine
of the Lake, specifically,
the Cursed Hoe, which, we
are told, was found on the
39th level of the mine. More
on this story as we get
more information. That's all
for this week."


"Good day. My name is Karin
and I am a mine researcher.
Today, I will tell you some
of the facts and rumors that
I have learned regarding
mines.

The following ores are known
to be found by breaking
rocks at the Mine of the
Lake: Amethyst, Agate,
Fluorite, Peridot, Topaz,
Ruby, Sand Rose,
Moonstone, Emerald, and
Diamond. Of these, the last
two are comparatively
unusual, while the others
can be found more easily.
There are, however, other
unusual things being found
in this mine... It seems,
however, that we have run
out of time, so we will
continue this discussion on
our next show, at our
leisure. Until then, that's
all for this week."


"Good day. My name is Karin
and I am a mine researcher.
Today, I will tell you some
of the facts and rumors that
I have learned regarding
mines.

Unusual ores that can be
found by breaking rocks at
the Mine by the Lake are
Alexandrite and Pink
Diamond. We have reports
that Alexandrite has been
found on the 50th, 100th,
150th levels of the mine,
though it may also be found
on other levels as well.
As for Pink Diamonds, we
have reports that they have
been found on the 30th,
110th, and 190th levels of
the mine, though they may
also be found on other
levels as well. We will
report further on this
subject as information
becomes available. That's
all for this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

There have been rumors in
some quarters of Cursed
Tools. We have received word
that another such item has
been discovered at the Mine
by the Lake. The item in
question is a Cursed
Watering Can, and it was
found on the 69th level of
the mine. We also have
further information on
unusual things that can be
found by breaking rocks at
the Mine by the Lake. This
time, it is the Kappa Jewel,
and it appears to have been
found on the 120th level of
the mine. We do not have any
more details at this time,
though we will let you know
just as soon as we do. And
that's all for this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

Lately, the rumor has been
circulating that if you
charge when using your
hoe or hammer at
the mines, you will find
more items. This is an
absolute lie, however, so do
not waste your energies in
this futile undertaking.

Next, we have a report of
Alexandrite having been
found on the 210th level of
the Mine of the Lake. If
anyone else out there has
news in this regard, please
let us know. And that is all
for this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

Lately, a rumor has been
spreading about the mines
extending as far as 255
levels. While we are doing
our best to find an answer
to this claim, we have only
been down as far as the
255th level a very few
times, and while we cannot
say for certain, we have not
found a stairway down to the
255th level. It would not
surprise us to learn that
that was the lowest level
after all.

We also have additional
information about the
finding of the Kappa Jewel
in the Mine by the Lake,
this time on the 60th level.
If you have any other such
information, please let us
know. And that's all for
this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

Lately, we have heard rumors
that it is possible to go to
the Mine by the Lake in
seasons other than Winter.
The short answer is that it
is indeed possible, and easy
to do. All you have to do is
ready a Teleport, and
set the Mine by the Lake as
your destination. While this
may sound simple, actually
acquiring a Teleport
is considered quite
difficult. I have used it
myself to go to the Mine by
the Lake in seasons other
than Winter, and did not see
any particular difference. I
will report again on this
subject as further
information becomes
available. That's all for
this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

First of all, word comes to
us today of the discovery of
the Goddess Jewel,
on the 152nd level of the
Mine of the Spring.

We have another report of
the Goddess Jewel
being found in that Mine,
this time on the 190th
level.

Next, we have word of a
Cursed Sickle being found in
the Mine by the Lake, on the
79th level. And that
concludes today's report.
Please let us know if you
have any other information
in this regard. And that's
all for this week."


"Good day. My name is
Karin, and I am a mine
researcher. Today, I will
tell you some of the facts
and rumors that I have
learned regarding mines.

Lately, we have been hearing
rumors that sowing seeds in
mine land after it has been
dug up will cause even
seasonal plants to grow.
This is completely untrue,
however, so do not waste
your seeds in this fruitless
pursuit.

Next, we have news of Pink
Diamond being found, on the
90th level of the Mine of
the Lake. And that concludes
today's report. If you have
any other information,
please let us know. And
that's all for this week."

The other day, I apparently
discovered something
amazing. On the 222nd level
of the Mine by the Spring, I
found a Mythic Stone, an ore
that I had never before
found, when I was breaking
rocks. As this was my first
such discovery, I am not
sure just how I found it. If
any of you have any
information about the Mythic
Stone, or anything else, for
that matter, please let us
know. Thank you. And that's
all for this week."

pure of heart.

This book is in the
possession of a
certain girl.


This is the story of
how a book brought
two people together.
"Fairy and Me: His
Story"

See it on this
channel every Monday.



Part 1

(Sound of panting)
Why am I having to
run from the police?
I can't let myself
get caught for
something I didn't do.

(Sound of siren)
The police siren is
getting closer.

I'd better find
somewhere to hide
right away.

There's a small house
over there.

Maybe I'll ask to hide
there for the time
being.
But I'd hate for the
owner to suspect me
and turn me over to
the police...I'd
better see if
someone's home first
and worry about that
later.

KNOCK, KNOCK
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
Maybe no one's home.
What am I going to do?

As I was thinking
what to do...

(Sound of door being
unlocked)
..the porch door
opened and a girl
appeared.

"Hello, who are you?"





The police are after
me. A girl came out
out of the house
where I was hoping to
hide.


Part 2

"Hello, who are you?"

Oh! Someone's home.
What should I do?
She may not even be
willing to hide a
stranger like me who
suddenly barges in
on her<bh:81>cI guess I
won't know unless I
ask. If she won't
hide me, I'll try
explaining my
situation from the
beginning.

"Well...um, actually,
I'd like to hide here
for a while. Plea...
Uh oh!"
There's a policeman
on the opposite side
of the street!
I quickly grabbed
the girl, took her
into the house and
closed the porch
door.

The girl must have
been startled to have
been grabbed by me
so suddenly...
She dropped the book
she was holding.

"Sorry. I must<bh:81>fve
startled you. Here
you go,"
I said as I picked up
her book. The girl
looked at me even
more surprised but
took the book
from me right away
and smiled.

"Please come in."
She beckoned me to
come into the house.





The girl who appeared
from the house where
I was hoping to hide
wasn't alarmed by me
and let me into the
house...


Part 3

"Please come in."
She shouldn't really
be letting a stranger
into her house, even
if I say so myself.

..Anyway, I'm
grateful to her for
letting me in. I'll
gladly take her
up on her offer.

"Thank you."

The girl took me to
her room on the second
floor.

"Please wait while I
go and make you a cup
of tea," the girl said
and put the book she
she was holding on
on the desk and left
the room.

Hmm...
Wonder why this girl
is letting me hide
here?
Surely she's not
thinking of trapping
me here while she
calls the police.
Anyway, I'll wait it
out for the time
being. If something
suspicious happens,
I'll make a move then.





The girl took me to
her room and then
left again to make
some tea.


Part 4

The girl put the book
she was holding on
the desk and left the
room.

.....................
I feel uneasy though.
No doubt partly
because I'm running
away from the police,
but more because I'm
in this girl's bedroom
(a complete stranger
at that).
As my eyes were
wandering around the
room, I spotted a
book on the desk.
That's the book the
the girl was carrying
a little while ago. I
was kind of curious
about it, so I picked
it up and took a look
at it.
Fairy and Me...?
Seems like any other
book, but there's
something intriguing
about it...But what?
Just as I was thinking
about it, the bedroom
door opened.

"Sorry for the wait."
The girl walked in
holding a tray in her
left hand with a pot,
two teacups, sugar
and some cake.





The girl took me to
her room and then
left again to make
some tea.


Part 5

I put the book I was
holding back down in
a panic and sat down
again.

"Oh, sorry. I
shouldn't have been
looking at your book,"
I said to the girl as
she put the tray down
on the desk.

"That's okay,"
she said as she sat
facing me and poured
a cup of tea.

"Um, how many sugars
would you like?"
"Uh, well..."
As I was about to
to answer when...

KNOCK, KNOCK
"Is anyone home?"

"Who could it be this
time? There sure seem
to be a lot of
visitors today.
Excuse me,"
the girl said and left
the room. Meanwhile,
I helped myself to
two sugars, and
stirred them with a
spoon.

(Sound of door
opening)
"Hello, who is  it?"

"It's the police."
What?!





Just as I was about
to drink the tea the
girl brought, the
police showed up.


Part 6

What?! The police?!

(Sound of cup hitting
saucer)
Darn!...I was so
startled that I almost
almost spilt my tea.
Don't tell me the
police have found out
I'm here already?!
What am I going to do?

"Actually, some
jewelry was stolen
from the nearby
department store
yesterday and we're
searching the area
for the criminal.
Have you seen this
person?"
the man asked in a
typical policeman's
voice. He must be
showing her a photo
or sketch, which means
that they don't know
I'm here yet. Good.
But if the girl tells
them I'm here...

"Umm, no I haven't."
Huh? She's keeping
quiet about me?

"I see. If you see
someone who looks
like this man, please
contact the police."

"Sure. I will. Thank
you."
(Sound of door
closing)
Looks like the girl
didn't tell the cops
I was here. I should
be safe for the time
being. Phew!





Looks like the girl
didn't tell the cops
I was here.


Part 7

Looks like I'm safe
for the time being.

(Sound of door
opening)
"Sorry for the
interruption. Oh,
aren't you drinking
your tea? It'll get
cold. Or don't you
like tea?"
The girl looked a
little sad. Oh, I
guess I was anxious
about the police
being here and forgot
to drink my tea.

"Oh no, I do like
tea. Thanks."
As I was about to
take a sip, my
stomach grumbled.
No wonder...I haven't
eaten since yesterday
because of being on
the run from the
police.
"Ha, ha, ha. You must
be hungry. Um, it's a
little early for
dinner, but never
mind. I'll make you
something, so please
wait a while."
With that, the girl
left the room.
No sooner had she
entered the room than
she was gone again.
That's one busy girl!





I was hungry, so the
girl left the room
again to make me
some dinner.


Part 8

No sooner had she
entered the room than
she was gone again.
That's one busy girl.
(Mostly because of
me, mind you.)
Anyhow, she's going
to the trouble of
making me something,
so I should just wait.
Maybe I'll drink some
tea while I'm waiting.
I took a sip...Mmm,
it was delicious. No
doubt partly because
my stomach was empty,
but there was
something else.
I can't describe it
but it gave me a warm
feeling. It wasn't so
much because the tea
tea itself was warm...
Anyway, it'll take
the girl a while to
make something.
Wonder if it'd be
okay to watch TV
while I'm drink tea?
I switched on the TV
and flipped to the
news thinking maybe
there would be
something about
yesterday's theft.
..Hmm. Doesn't look
like it. I wonder if
there's anything on
the other channels?
I checked the other
channels but there
were no news programs
on.





I decided to watch TV
while the girl was
making dinner and
switched on the TV
that was in the room.


Part 9

(Incidentally, I
couldn't find the
remote control, so I
used the controls on
the TV set itself.)
Oh well. Guess I'll
just leave it on the
news program I was
watching before...
As I was about to sit
down, I spotted the
book on top of the
desk. It was the
book Fairy and Me that
the girl put there a
while ago.
I'd been intrigued by
it from the beginning.
Maybe I'll just have
a peek at it. I
flipped open the
cover.

The person who reads
this book to the
end shall be granted
one wish, whatever
it may be.

Whatever you wish for?
If I was granted
whatever you wished
for just by reading
this book, life would
be easy...All the
same, if I could have
one wish granted I'd
want my false charge
to be dropped...
I flipped through the
pages as these
thoughts went through
my head.
..I'd been reading
Fairy and Me for a
while when I heard
the girl.

"Excuse me. Would you
mind opening the
door?"





I was flipping through
<bh:81>hFairy and Me<bh:81>h when
the girl returned.


Part 10

"Excuse me. Would you
mind opening the
door?"
I heard the girl call
from the door. I
hurriedly closed the
book and put it back
where I'd found it,
then opened the
bedroom door. The girl
was standing there
holding a tray. There
was a big pot and
rice dish on the tray.
There was also a
kettle, a cup, a
plate and a spoon.

"Thank you."
Ahh, it smelt good.

"Is it curry?"
"Yes it is,"
she replied as she
placed the tray by
the desk and served
some curry and rice
on the plate.

"Here you go. I hope
you like it..."
She passed the plate
to me.

"Thank you."
I chomped down a
big mouthful.





She served the curry
and rice that she'd
made for me.


Part 11

"Thank you."
I chomped down on a
big mouthful.

"Delicious!"
Mmm, it really was
delicious. I could
probably polish all
of it off (partly
because I'm so
hungry).

"Really? I'm glad.
There's lots left, so
please don't be shy,"
she replied smiling
as she served herself
some food too.
Well then, I won't
hesitate to have some
more I thought while
wolfing down the rest
of the food on my
plate.
When I finished eating
all of the food on my
plate, the girl asked
smiling,

"Would you like
seconds?"
It's so tasty I really
feel like having a
bit more, but maybe
that'd be rude.
..But, she did offer
so I guess it's okay.
I'll take her up on
her offer and have
one more plateful.

"Uh, yes please.
Thanks a lot."





The curry and rice
the girl made was so
delicious that I
think I'll have
seconds.


Part 12

"Uh, yes please.
Thanks a lot," I said
holding out my empty
plate. The girl took
it, put some more
curry and rice on it
and passed it back
to me.

"Here you go."
"Thanks."
I took the food from
the girl and started
eating right away.
Munch, munch, munch.
It was just as tasty
as the first plateful.

..

"Phew, I'm stuffed.
That was great."
I'm full. I can't eat
any more, no matter
how delicious it is.
I probably shouldn't
have eaten so much.

"You certainly ate a
lot. You must have
been starving!"
The girl looked at the
empty pot and rice
dish. It was obvious
from her face and
tone of voice that
she was amazed by how
much I'd eaten.





I was totally full
after eating the
curry and rice that
the girl made.


Part 13

The girl looked at the
empty pot and rice
dish. It was obvious
from her face that
she was amazed by how
much I'd eaten.
"I know I was hungry,
but your cooking was
so tasty that I
couldn't help
myself...Sorry. Looks
like I ate your
portion too..."
"That's okay. I made
the food for you in
the first place, so
don't worry.
One plateful was
enough for me," she
said laughing.

"It really was
delicious though.
You're a great cook."
As I said that, the
girl suddenly looked
a little melancholy.
Huh? Did I say
something wrong?

"...That's because I'm
always alone. There's
no one else to cook,
so I<bh:81>fve naturally
become good at
cooking and other
chores."





I was totally full
after eating the
curry and rice that
the girl made.


Part 14

Huh? Always alone?
She lives in this
house alone? What on
earth happened to her
parents?

"My mother and I used
to live here together,
but she died in a car
accident three years
ago."
"Oh, really? I'm
sorry to hear that."
I see. Her mother's
dead. That's awful.
But what about her
father?

"That's alright. It
happened a long time
ago. And my father
works abroad. He's
not interested in
anything but work...
When my mother died,
he didn't even come
back here. He's hasn't
written or phoned
once. But he sends me
just enough money to
live on every month
so I guess he's still
alive."
Wow. She really does
live alone in this
house...But, then...





Looks like this girl
lives alone in this
house. Wonder if she's
okay with me being
here?


Part 15

This girl really does
live alone in this
house.

"When your mother
died, didn't you
think about living
with your father? Or
if not your father,
then at least with
your relatives?"
"Even if I went to
live with my father,
it'd be the same as
now...I think I
already told you that
my father's only
interested in work,
so he always returns
home very late.
Even on his days off,
he just stays home
and sleeps. So even
if I went to live with
him, it wouldn't be
any different than
now. I'd be lying if I
said I didn't feel
lonely.
My relatives are the
kind of people that
try to get close to
me and pretend to be
nice so they can get
their hands on my
father's fortune. I
certainly don't want
to be with them. I'd
much rather live here
alone than be with
those kind of
people."
Get their hands on
his fortune? Her
father must be very
wealthy...A girl like
that shouldn't be on
her own.





Looks like this girl
lives alone in this
house. Wonder if she's
okay with me being
here?


Part 16

What if some weirdo
came to the house?
(Well, in fact, an
outsider might think
that a suspicious
character had gotten
into her room.)

"But you know what?
I don't feel lonely
right now,"
the girl said looking
at me.

"Huh?"
Does she mean because
I'm here? Would she
rather be with a
stranger than with
her relatives? Why?
After hearing a story
like that (about her
father being rich),
someone like me could
kidnap her and demand
a ransom.

"But we just met for
the first time today.
How do you know I
didn't come here to
get my hands on your
money just like
your relatives?"
As I said that, news
of the jewelry theft
appeared on the TV,
which had been on the
whole time.





Looks like the girl
lives here alone. But
she says she's not
lonely because I'm
here.


Part 17

News of the jewelry
theft appeared on the
TV, which had been on
the whole time.
"Some jewelry was
stolen at Gracies
department store
yesterday.
Fortunately, it seems
that the criminal was
seen before leaving
the store and no
damage was done to
the store. The
criminal escaped and
not yet been caught.
People living near
Gracies department
store are asked to be
careful. The criminal
is approximately..."
The girl was glued to
the TV. She'll know
that I'm the criminal
right away by the
description on the
news.
How will she react?

"I see...Is that why
you went to the
trouble of coming to
this house to ask to
hide here?"
What?! There's no
denying I asked her
to let me hide here
but I spotted this
house by chance. I
wasn't targeting it.
Why would she think
that I came here on
purpose?





The incident that I
was caught up in
appeared on a news
program. What will
the girl think?


Part 18

Why would she think
that I was targeting
this house? Well,
anyway, before dealing
with that, I'd better
let her know that I
didn't steal anything.
(I don't know if
she'll believe me. I
mean, most people
wouldn't.)

"You probably won't
believe me, but I
didn't steal
anything."
"Uh-huh, I don't
think you did it. I
believe you."
..What?! She seems
to have believed me
very easily. A little
too easily, if I say
so myself. Most people
would be suspicious.
Wonder why she
believe me right
away?

"Uh...do you really
believe me?"
"Yes. After all..."
she began to say while
holding out the book
Fairy and Me.
What's the book got
to do with it?





When I told the girl
I hadn't done the
robbery, she believed
me without hesitation.


Part 19

What's the book got
to do with it?

"I mean, after all,
you're able to see
this book, so..."
Huh? What does that...
I looked at her with
astonishment. She
smiled and flipped
open the cover of the
book she was holding.
The following words
appeared.

______________________
The person who reads
this book to the
end shall be granted
one wish, whatever
it may be.

But, this book is
only visible to those
pure of heart.
______________________

The girl pointed to
the last three lines.
"When you came to
this house, I was
startled and dropped
this book. You picked
it up for me, which
means that you are
pure-hearted because
you can see it.
A pure-hearted person
wouldn't steal
anything."





The reason the girl
believed what I said
was because of what
was written in Fairy
and Me.


Part 20

"A pure-hearted person
wouldn't steal
anything."
..I get it. She
trusts the book
completely."

"Do you think it's
wise to believe
someone so easily, or
believe what's
written in a book for
that matter? I mean,
admittedly you
helped me thanks to
that, but..."
"Of course I didn't
believe you only
because of that. I
think I'm a good judge
of character too."
At least she didn't
decide based only on
the book.
Anyway, from my point
of view, as long as
she believes me it
doesn't matter to me.
But I'd like to know
why on earth she
thinks I came to this
house on purpose.


"You know, a little
while ago you said
I came here on
purpose, like you
didn't think it was a
coincidence. Would
you mind telling me
what on earth you
meant by that?"





The girl didn't
believe what I said
only because of the
words written in
Fairy and Me.


Part 21

"What? You mean you
didn't come here
because you knew
who I was?
..Hmm, I see.
Well then, I'll tell
you the story from
the beginning.
As I told you just
before, my father's a
a workaholic. And
he's pretty
successful in
business. In fact, he
owns the department
store where the
incident you're
involved in happened."
Ahh, I see. This
girl isn't just rich,
her family owns that
department store.
It makes sense that
she'd think I came
here on purpose. If I
can get her on my
side, then I may be
able to find out what
happened at the
department store
yesterday...

"So I thought maybe
you found out where I
lived and came here.
But I was wrong...
What a huge
coincidence!"
A huge coincidence
indeed. And an
opportunity. It'd be
a waste to squander
such a good
opportunity. But
where do I start?





The girl is the
daughter of the
owner of the
department store.


Part 22

It'd be a waste to
squander such a good
opportunity.

"Anyway, I'd like to
do whatever I can to
help. The stolen
jewelry was in your
bag right? Then let's
find out how it got
there."
I'd be grateful for
that, but how on
earth would we find
out something like
that? I guess we'll
have to ask around to
the shop assistants...

"How are we going to
find out?"
"I'll ask the store
manager to show me
the security camera
tapes from yesterday.
We'll see if there's
anything suspicious
on the tapes."
I see. Good thinking!

"Well, I'll call the
store manager right
away and ask for
them to be delivered.
Please wait a while,"
the girl said and
left the room.





The girl left to ask
if she could borrow
the security camera
tape from the
department store.


Part 23

The girl left the
room.

..Maybe this will
prove my innocence
and I won't have to
keep running away.
As I was thinking
about this, the girl
returned.

"I called the store
manager. It looks
like  he's going to
have them sent over
so we'll have to wait
a while. Um, it'll
probably be tough to
just wait around. Why
don't you read this
book or something?"
She passed me
Fairy and Me which
was lying on  the
desk. I wonder why? I
mean, I'm definitely
interested in the
book, but there are
plenty of other ways
to kill time, like
watching TV or
something...

"Why this book?"
"You're interested in
this book right? When
you're talking to me
I notice you glancing
at the book now and
then..."
What? Do I really?
Oh well, I guess I
might as well kill the
time by reading the
book.





The girl called the
store manager and he
said he'd get the
tapes to her.


Part 24

Oh well, I guess I
might as well kill the
time by reading the
book.

I nodded and took the
book. As I began
reading, the girl
kept staring at me.

"Um, why are you
staring at me like
that?"
"Please just ignore
me and keep reading."
Ignore me, she says,
but I can't ignore
her the way she's
staring at me and
smiling! That doesn't
seem to bother her
though. Oh well, I'll
just keep reading.
Her gaze made me feel
uneasy at first, but
before long I was
completely absorbed
in the book.

..How long have I
been reading? Before
I knew it, it was
dark and the stars
were out.

"Can I interrupt you
for a second?"
Huh! She startled me.
She was sitting in
the same place as
before. Has she been
watching me read the
whole time? Jeez,
that's kind of
embarrassing!





I decided to read
Fairy and Me
until the store
manager came by with
the tapes.


Part 25

"Sure. What's up?"
"Would you like to see
the security camera
tapes that the store
manager dropped off a
just before?"
What? Has he already
been by?
I wish she'd told me
sooner...
But I was wrapped up
in Fairy and Me so
maybe she didn't want
to interrupt me.
Never mind. I'd like
to see the tapes
as soon as possible.

"I imagine there must
be a lot of video
shot by the security
cameras in a day at
that department store.
But for the time
being, there's not a
lot of point in
looking at video
shot outside the area
I was in, right?
I went in to the
department store at
about two o<bh:81>fclock
yesterday, and went
straight to the
jewelry shop on the
4th floor. I looked
around and bought a
broach. As I was about
to leave the shop,
there was a strange
noise - a security
alarm maybe - and a
shop assistant told
me to stop."
"I see. Let's take a
look at the video
shot around that
time."





While I was wrapped
in reading
Fairy and Me, the
tapes arrived.


Part 26

"I see. Let's take a
look at the video
shot around that
time," the girl said
standing up.
What? Ah, I get it.
We can't watch the
tapes here so we're
going somewhere else.
It didn't look like
there was anything to
play the tapes on
here, so I got up too
and followed her.

We went downstairs to
the porch, where
there was a cardboard
box.  ret>"This box contains
all the security
camera video shot at
the department store
yesterday. Let's find
the tapes shot around
the time you
mentioned just before.
It'd be too tiring to
carry the whole
thing," she said and
opened the box.

This looks like the
tape shot between 2
and 3 PM in the
jewelry shop.
"Please bring it to
this room over here."
The girl went into a
nearby room, so I
followed her.
"Here?"
"Yes, this is the only
room where we can
watch it. Let's not
waste any time."





We started watching
the security camera
video right away.


Part 27

"Well, let's look at
the tape right away."
We looked at the
section of tape from
when I entered the
jewelry shop to when
I left, but there was
nothing suspicious
from when the security
alarm sounded to when
I was told to stop by
the shop assistant.
(Of course, I wouldn't
expect anything
suspicious because I
didn't do anything.
But there were no
signs of anyone
approaching me or
anything, so when on
earth the jewelry was
put in my bag I have
no idea.)
When I looked at the
girl, she seemed to
bet thinking something
and was tapping her
face with her finger
while staring at the
screen.

"What's up? Is
something bothering
you?"
"...Yes. From what
I<bh:81>fve seen so far,
there's no evidence
of anyone putting the
the stolen jewelry
in your bag. And of
course, there's no
sign of you stealing
it either. But
it's odd that the
security alarm would
go off. We're missing
something..."
The girl rewound the
tape and was looking
at the spot where the
shop assistant
told me to stop. Her
words trailed off as
she seemed to notice
something.





The girl seemed to
notice something
while looking at the
security camera video.


Part 28

"What's going on? Do
you see something?"
"Please hang on a
second!"
The girl rewound the
tape again and looked
at the same spot.

"So that it explains
it. Please have a
look at this," she
said rewinding the
tape slightly and
pointing at a shop
assistant standing by
by the exit.
Ah! The shop assistant
standing next to me
stuck his hand out of
the shop just as I
was about to leave
the store. It looked
like he had something
in his hand.
..So did the security
alarm go off because
of him instead of me?

"That's right. This
shop assistant had the
jewelry in his hand
from the start, and
set the alarm off as
you passed by. Then,
he told you to stop
and while he was
pretending to search
your bag, he slipped
the jewelry into it.
Look , right here!"
No doubt about it!
The assistant
slipped whatever was
in his hand into my
bag.





Whatever happened in
store seemed to be
because of the shop
assistant.


Part 29

No doubt about it!
The assistant
slipped whatever was
in his hand into my
bag.

"You're right. But
why?"
"I have no idea...
But it's too late to
do anything today, so
we'll find out
tomorrow."
It was already past
midnight. Of course,
the department store
is already closed,
so it'd be impossible
to talk to the shop
assistant now. And if
I leave now I might
get caught by the
police before I even
have a chance to
speak to him.
There's nothing to
do but wait.

"Let's leave it at
that for the day.
Please wait while I
fill the tub for you
so you can take a
bath before going to
bed."
Before I could reply,
the girl left the
room. I hadn't
taken a bath since
being on the run
yesterday, so I'd
like to take one,
but...Never mind.
There's no point in
thinking too much. I
might as well do as
I'm told. While I'm
waiting I think I'll
read Fairy and Me
which I sneaked
downstairs with me
earlier.





It was already past
midnight when I
noticed the time.
We can continue
tomorrow.


Part 30

"The bath is ready.
You can go first."
"Oh, okay...But
where's the bathroom?"
She seemed to be
calling from the
bathroom, but I don't
know the layout of
the house, so I have
no idea where it is.

"I'll show you. Hang
on a second," she
said and returned to
the room a few
moments later.

"Sorry. Please follow
me."
She beckoned me to
follow her, so I put
down the book I was
reading and followed
her.

"This is the bathroom.
I'll wash your
clothes, so please put
them in this basket.
Oh, I forgot to get
you a change of
clothes. I'll be right
back. In the meantime,
please get in the
bath. And if you need
anything else, just
ask."
"Okay. Thanks."





The girl prepared a
bath for me, so I
gratefully accepted.


Part 31

"If you need
anything else, just
ask."
I made sure that the
girl was gone, then
took off my clothes
and got in the bath.

SPLASH

Ahh...This is great.
As I was relaxing,
the events of  the
past two days floated
through my head...
Being suspected of
stealing jewelry,
being chased by the
police and ending up
here by chance...And
the huge coincidence
of the girl living
here being the
daughter of the
department store's
owner...Thanks to her
it looks like we'll
be able to clear up
any suspicion that I
stole the jewelry.
As these thoughts
went through my mind
I heard the girl
calling from outside
the bathroom.

"Excuse me. I'll leave
the change of clothes
for you here. They're
my father's, so,
they may be a
little...well, quite
big."
"That's okay. Thanks."





As I washed myself
and soaked in the tub,
I recalled the events
of the past two days.


Part 32

"...Wow, these are
huge!"
When I got out of the
bath and looked at
the change of clothes
that the girl had
prepared, they were
huge. Oh well. There's
no point in making a
fuss. My clothes are
being washed right
now anyway (I can
hear the washing
machine churning
away) so there's
nothing else to wear.
Well, I guess I
should let the girl
know I'm finished.
Wonder where she is?
I'll see if she's in
the parlor where
we were before. Just
as I was thinking
that the girl came
out of the parlor and
spoke to me.

"Oh, are you finished
already?
..I guess the
pajamas are too big
eh? But that's all
there is, so please
make do with them for
tonight.
I prepared a futon
for you in this room,
so please sleep here
tonight."
"Wow, you even
prepared a bed for me?
Thanks."





The pajamas the girl
prepared for me were
huge.


Part 33

"Oh, you even
prepared a bed for
me. Thanks."
"I wouldn't expect
you to sleep on the
floor...
Well, I guess it's my
turn to take a bath."
The girl headed to
the bathroom. I was
thinking about
reading Fairy and Me
when the girl
suddenly came back.

"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Please don't peep at
me okay?"
"..................."
I thought she trusted
me! Does she really
think I'd peep at her?

"I'm just kidding. A
nice guy like you
wouldn't do that,
right? Well, I'm really
going this time."
"...I won't. Don't
worry."
"Okay."
Was she really
kidding? Or was she
making sure I wouldn't
peep at her?
Oh well. Whatever. I
think I'll get back to
reading Fairy and Me
again...





Before taking a bath
the girl came back to
warn me not to peep
at her.


Part 34

Well, I think I'll
get back to reading
Fairy and Me again.

..

(Sound of book
closing)
Phew. Finished!
I finally finished
the book...

"Um, have you
finished the book?"
Huh! The girl
startled me. I didn't
even notice that she
had finished taking
a bath. But I guess
it must<bh:81>fve taken me a
while to finish
reading Fairy and Me,
so there's no reason
to be surprised.

"Sorry. I didn't mean
to startle you...Did
you finish reading
the book?"
I nodded.

"How was it? Was it
interesting?"
I nodded again.

"So...What's your
wish?"
"Of course, I'd like
everyone to know that
I didn't steal
anything."





I finished reading
Fairy and Me while
the girl was taking
a bath.


Part 35

"Of course, I'd like
everyone to know that
I didn't steal
anything."
"That's good. I'm
sure your wish will
come true tomorrow."
I nodded again.
The girl looked kind
of lonely...Wonder
why?  Maybe I should
try talking about
something else.

"By the way, did you
read the book to the
end too? Do you have
a wish?"
"Yes. Before I tell
you...uh...can I ask
you something?"
she asked with a
very serious face.
If I can answer her
she can ask as many
questions as she
wants.

"Go ahead."
"The broach you
bought at the jewelry
shop yesterday was a
present for a girl
wasn't it? Who was
it for?"
Come to think of it,
I told the girl about
being suspected for
stealing, but I
didn't say explain
why I went to the
store in the first
place...


"Of course, my wish
is for everyone to
know that I didn't
steal anything."


Part 36

Come to think of it,
I didn't explain to
the girl why I went
to store in the first
place...

"Oh, for my sister.
Her birthday's coming
up soon. She gets
upset if I don't buy
her something every
year and if I don't
get something she
likes, she gets in a
bad mood...So this
this year we went to
the store together
beforehand so she
could choose something
she liked. That way I
know there won't be
a problem."
Then this happened.

"Then, it's not a
present for your
girlfriend?"
"Unfortunately, I
don't have a
girlfriend,"
I said and the girl
look relieved.

"My wish is...
to have a boyfriend...
A boyfriend with a
pure heart.
..Um, you mean you'd
like me to become
your boyfriend, right?
Of course, my answer
is...


          The End

Fairy and Me: Epilog

The shop assistant
owned up completely
to what he did.

Actually, that guy
came to the store
with his sister a
while ago (he was
letting her choose
an accessory for
herself). Seems that
that the shop
assistant was
mesmerized by her
and thought the guy
was her boyfriend.
To be honest, he was
totally jealous...
So when the assistant
saw the guy come to
the store again, he
put the jewelry in
his bag in spite of
himself.
When the shop
assistant heard that
the girl he was
obsessed with was the
guy's sister, he was
totally surprised.
In the end, the shop
assistant apologized
to the guy. I'm not
sure whether the guy
forgave him or not
but it doesn't really
matter because the
girl told the shop
assistant that she
already had a
boyfriend...

Anyway, I wonder why
she didn't ask her
boyfriend to buy her
a present instead of
her  brother...

This book is now in

This is the story of
how a book brought
two people together.
"Fairy and Me: Her
Story"

See it on this
channel every Tuesday.



Part 1

(Sound of book
closing)
Phew. I finally
finished it.

"The person who reads
this book to the
end shall be granted
one wish, whatever
it may be."
Hmm...If I could be
granted one wish, I'd
want a boyfriend.
A boyfriend with a
pure heart Someone
who can see this
book Fairy and Me.
No way! Life
would be easy if all
I had to do was read
this book.

(Sound of police
siren)
Huh? Sounds like a
police car. I wonder
what happened?
Never mind. I think
I'll have a cup of
tea.
I left my room and
was about to go
downstairs when...

KNOCK, KNOCK
Wonder who that is?
Sounds urgent. Maybe
I should go right
away.
I ran downstairs and
opened the porch
door.

(Sound of  door
opening)
"Hello, who are you?"





I finally finished
reading Fairy and Me.
I think I'll have a
cup of tea.


Part 2

"Hello, who are you?"
Hmm...I haven't seen
him around before. He
isn't carrying
anything, so I don't
think he's a
salesman...
What's he doing here?

"Well...um...actually,
I'd like to hide here
for a while. Plea...
Uh oh!"
Oh my god! He must
have seen something
because he suddenly
grabbed me and forced
me into the house,
then shut the door. I
was so startled that
I dropped the book I
was holding.

"Sorry. I must<bh:81>fve
startled you. Here
you go."
The guy picked up the
book I dropped and
handed it to me. He
can see the book!
That must mean he
has a pure heart...
No, that's silly.
Anybody can see it.
There's no such thing
as a book that can
only be seen by
pure-hearted people.
heart. Well anyway,
he doesn't look like
a bad person, so it
should be alright to
let him hide here.
I have no idea who's
after him though<bh:81>c

"Please come in."
I beckoned him to
come into the house.





The guy who barged in
on me could see Fairy
and Me...


Part 3

"Please come in."
I'm usually too shy
to talk to guys,
especially for the
first time, but the
words came easily with
this guy. Maybe it's
the power of Fairy
and Me. Just kidding.
It's because I can't
ignore someone in
trouble.
But why did he come
here? Maybe he's
desperate for money.
If he knows about my
family, then maybe he
thinks there's some
money here.
Actually, there have
been a lot of
break-ins here and
people who have tried
to kidnap me...If
he's that kind of
person, I'll kick him
out right away at the
first sign of trouble.
He hesitated for a
moment, then said

"Thank you."
I didn't want him to
do any damage to the
main floor of the
house, so I took him
upstairs to my room.

"Please wait while I
go and make you a cup
of tea."
I decided to leave
the guy alone in my
room to see if he
does anything
suspicious.





I took the guy to my
room and then left
again to make some
tea...


Part 4

That reminds me. I
was going to have
some tea myself
before this guy came.

I went to the kitchen.
I think there's
plenty of tea.
..Yeah, there is.
I'll boil some water.
Umm...do I even have
an extra cup? I
hardly ever have
visitors, so I don't
have many dishes...
Ah, here's one. Good.
And here's a spoon.
Now, all I need is
some sugar and maybe
some sort of cake.
Oh, this'll do. While
I was getting
everything ready, the
kettle began
whistling away. I
turned the stove off,
poured some water in
a pot and put the lid
on. Is that
everything? Okay,
I'll take it all
upstairs.

I went upstairs
carrying a tray with
the tea and whatnot
in one hand, and
opened the bedroom
door with the other.

"Sorry to keep you
waiting."
Oh. Looks like he
guy was about to pick
up Fairy and Me. Hmm,
wonder if he's touched
anything else.
Doesn't look like it.
Maybe he didn't come
here to steal money.
Or maybe he thinks
there's nothing in my
room. It's impossible
to tell at the moment.





I came back from the
kitchen after making
some tea.


Part 5

The guy hurriedly put
the book he was
holding back down on
the desk and sat down
again.

"Oh, sorry. I
shouldn't have been
looking at your book,"
he apologized. If I
didn't want him to
see it, I wouldn't
have left it lying on
the desk, so it's no
big deal. Or maybe
he's trying to put me
off my guard.

"That's okay,"
I said as I put the
tray down on the desk
and sat in front of
the guy and poured
some tea.

"Um, how many sugars
would you like?"
"Uh, well..."
The guy was about
to answer when...

KNOCK, KNOCK
"Is anyone home?"
"Who could it be this
time? There sure seem
to be a lot of
visitors today.
Excuse me."
Who could it be?
Maybe the guy's
thinking this is his
chance to make a move.
Or maybe it's his
friend. Anyway, I'd
better get back to
the room right away.

"Hello, who is  it?"
"It's the police."
When I opened the
porch, a policeman
was standing there.





Just as I was about
to take a sip of tea,
the police showed up.


Part 6

"It's the police."
I guess it's not the
guy's friend after
all. But given the
timing, I wonder if
it's got something to
do with him?

"Actually, some
jewelry was stolen
from the nearby
department store
yesterday and we're
searching the area
for the criminal.
Have you seen this
person?"
It was a sketch of
the guy. I see.
That's why the guy
said he wanted to hide
here. Maybe he wants
to prove he's
innocent. Hmm, maybe
I should keep quiet
about him being here.

"Umm, no I haven't."
"I see. If you see
someone who looks
like this man, please
contact the police."
"Sure. I will. Thank
you."
(Sound of door
closing)
The policeman seemed
to believe me and
left. The police
wouldn't normally
expect me to be
hiding someone here.
I'd better go talk to
the guy at once and
find out what's going
on.





The policeman
believed what I said
and left.


Part 7

I'd better go talk to
the guy at once and
find out what's going
on. He probably heard
what the policeman
said, so I hope he
doesn't do anything
anything foolish...

(Sound of door
opening)
"Sorry for the
interruption. Oh,
aren't you drinking
your tea? It'll get
cold. Or don't you
like tea?"
He was probably
anxious about my chat
with the policeman
and couldn't drink
his tea.

"Oh no, I do like
tea. Thanks."
As he was about to
take a sip, his
stomach grumbled.
Maybe he hasn't eaten
anything  since
being on the run from
the police. Alright
then, I'll make him
something nice to eat.

"Ha, ha, ha. You must
be hungry. Um, it's a
little early for
dinner, but never
mind. I'll make you
something, so please
wait a while."





The guy was hungry,
so I decided to cook
something for him.


Part 8

"Please wait a while.
I left  him alone in
the bedroom and went
downstairs to the
kitchen again...I
have no idea what to
make him. Oh well,
I'll just look in the
fridge and think about
what to make. (Sound
of fridge opening.)
Is there anything in
here I can use...?
I'm pretty sure there
was some curry stock
in here somewhere.
Hmm, maybe curry and
rice would be good.
What else do I have?
Salad, apples, honey,
pineapple, cheese,
potatoes, carrots...
Umm, looks like
there's enough here to
make a tasty curry.
Alright then. Curry
it is! First I need to
cut the ingredients
into good-sized
pieces and put them
in a pot and boil
them.

That's good! I'll just
leave them for a while
until they're ready.
Oh, that's right.
Wonder if I have
enough dishes? (Sound
of looking for
something). Oh good.
There's enough for
the two of us.





I'm cooking curry and
rice for the guy
because he's hungry.


Part 9

Well, it'll be a while
before the curry's
ready. What should I
do in the meantime? I
wonder what the guy's
doing? Anyway, he
doesn't seem like the
kind of person who'd
wreck my room, so I
don't need to worry
about him in that
regard. He seemed
pretty interested in
Fairy and Me, so he can
always kill time by
reading it. When I
first brought the tea
to him, he was taking a
peek at the contents,
but as soon as I
entered the room, he
apologized for reading
the book without
asking...While these
thoughts ran through
my head, the curry
began bubbling away.
Wonder if it's ready?
I'll give it a little
try. (Sip) Mmm...
Delicious. Um,
looks like the rice
is ready too. Well,
I'll take this up to
my room right away
then...Looks like I
made too much. The
tray is super heavy.
Looks like I'll have
to use both hands.
Oh, I can't open the
bedroom door.

"Excuse me. Would you
mind opening the
door?"





I made so much curry
and rice that I had
to carry it with
both hands.


Part 10

"Excuse me. Would you
mind opening the
door?"
When I called the guy
from the other side
of the door, he opened
it right away. The
position of Fairy and
I had changed slightly
and the TV was on.
Other than that,
everything else
looked the same. Maybe
he decided to read
Fairy and Me because
there was nothing on
TV. (Or maybe the
other way around.)
Anyhow, it doesn't
look like he did
anything bad while he
was waiting. Oh yeah.
I forgot to thank him
for opening the door
for me.

"Thank you."
He didn't seem to
hear me, and was
smelling the aroma
drifting from the pot.

"Is it curry?"
"Yes it is,"
I replied as I placed
the tray by the desk
and served some curry
and rice on the plate.

"Here you go. I hope
you like it..."
I passed the pate to
the guy.

"Thank you."
He took the plate and
had a big mouthful.





It looked like the
guy had been reading
Fairy and Me while I
was cooking.

Part 11

"Thank you ."
He took the plate and
had a big mouthful.

"Delicious!"
It really looks like
he's enjoying it. (At
this rate, it looks
like he'll finish it
all (mostly because
he's famished I
guess).

"Really? I'm glad.
There's lots left, so
please don't be shy."
I'm a little hungry
too, so I  think I'll
have some myself...
Wow! He's already
finished a plateful!
He must have been
really hungry. I made
tons so I  was hoping
he'd eat a lot.

"Would you like
seconds?" I asked.
He seemed a little
hesitant. Is he just
being polite or
doesn't he like it
very much?

"Uh, yes please.
Thanks a lot."
He held out his empty
plate with an
embarrassed look.
Ah, he was just being
polite after all.





The guy finished off
a plateful of food in
no time, so I offered
him seconds.


Part 12

He held out his empty
plate with an
embarrassed look.
So, he was just being
polite after all.

I took his plate and
served some curry and
rice and passed it
back to him.

"Here you go."
"Thanks."
The guy took the
food from me and
started munching on
it right away. He
really does seem to
like it.

..

"Phew, I'm stuffed.
That was great," he
said while patting
his stomach.

"You certainly ate a
lot. You must have
been starving!"
I looked at the
empty pot and rice
dish. I couldn't hide
my amazement. Anyway,
it was worth making
it because he ate
such a lot. It's much
better than having
leftovers.





The guy was full
after eating a couple
of platefuls of the
curry I cooked him.


Part 13

It was worth making
it because he ate
such a lot. It's much
better than having
leftovers.

"I know I was hungry,
but your cooking was
so tasty that I
couldn't help
myself...Sorry. Looks
like I ate your
portion too..." he
said apologetically.
"That's okay. I made
the food for you in
the first place, so
don't worry.
One plateful was
enough for me," I
reassured him. I
wasn't that hungry
and even if I was, one
plateful was enough
anyway.

"It really was
delicious though.
You're a great cook."
"...That's because I'm
always alone. There's
no one else to cook,
so I<bh:81>fve naturally
become good at
cooking and other
chores."
After I said that, the
guy looked like he
regretted what he
said, but it was no
big deal.





The guy was full
after eating a couple
of platefuls of the
curry I cooked him.


Part 14

I guess I looked
unhappy to hear what
he said...I guess
my loneliness shows.
after all.
The guy looks like
he's going to ask why
I'm alone, so I might
as well tell him.

"My mother and I used
to live here together,
but she died in a car
accident three years
ago."
"Oh, really? I'm
sorry to hear that."
His expression
changed from regret
to confusion. He's
probably going to ask
what happened to
my father...

"That's alright. It
happened a long time
ago. And my father
works abroad. He's
not interested in
anything but work...
When my mother died,
he didn't even come
back here. He's hasn't
written or phoned
once. But he sends me
just enough money to
live on every month
so I guess he's still
alive."
Whenever I talk about
my father, I can't
help saying harsh
things about him.





I told him about
living alone in this
house.


Part 15

Whenever I talk about
my father, I can't
help saying harsh
things about him.

"When your mother
died, didn't you
think about living
with your father? Or
with your father? Or
if not your father,
then at least with
your relatives?"
Huh? If he came here
because he knows a
bit about my family,
I would<bh:81>fve expected
him to know at least
that...Oh well. Never
mind.

"Even if I went to
live with my father,
it'd be the same as
now...I think I
already told you that
my father's only
interested in work,
so he always returns
home very late.
Even on his days off,
he just stays home
and sleeps. So even
if I went to live with
him, it wouldn't be
any different than
now. I'd be lying if I
said I didn't feel
lonely.
My relatives are the
kind of people that
try to get close to
me and pretend to be
nice so they can get
their hands on my
father's fortune. I
certainly don't want
to be with them. I'd
much rather live here
alone than be with
those kind of
people."





I told him about
living alone in this
house.


Part 16

"But you know what?
I don't feel lonely
right now," I said
looking at him. He
hasn't been specially
kind to me, nor has
he harmed me....
He may have stolen
the jewelry for all I
know, but I feel more
at ease with this
stranger than with my
own relatives. It
sounds absurd even
to me. But that's
honestly how I feel.

"Huh?"
The guy looked at me
with surprise. I'm
surprised myself, so
I can only imagine
how weird that must
sound to him.

"But we just met for
the first time today.
How do you know I
didn't come here to
get my hands on your
money just like
your relatives?"
The way he said that
convinced me that he
was not a bad person.

At that moment, news
of the jewelry theft
came on TV, which had
been on the whole
time.





I don't feel lonely
at the moment because
this guy's here.


Part 17

News of the jewelry
theft appeared on the
TV, which had been on
the whole time.
"Some jewelry was
stolen at Gracies
department store
yesterday.
Fortunately, it seems
that the criminal was
seen before leaving
the store and no
damage was done to
the store. The
criminal escaped and
not yet been caught.
People living near
Gracies department
store are asked to be
careful. The criminal
is approximately..."
Hmm, this news story
seems to be talking
about this guy. From
what I<bh:81>fve seen on TV
so far, he hasn't
told me the real
reason he's here.


"I see...Is that why
you went to the
trouble of coming to
this house to ask to
hide here?"
If you didn't do
anything wrong, then
I'll help you prove
it. Why don't you try
telling me the reason
you came here...
..But the guy just
had a blank look on
his face. What's
wrong? What a strange
reaction.





The incident that the
guy was caught up in
appeared on a news
program.


Part 18

The guy looks like
he's about to say
something. Come on,
say it. I'm listening.

"You probably won't
believe me, but I
didn't steal
anything."
"Uh-huh, I don't
think you did it. I
believe you."
He looked amazed that
I believed him so
easily. I guess
that's to be expected.
But I do believe him.

"Uh...do you really
believe me?"
"Yes. After all..."
I began to say while
holding out the book
Fairy and Me.
He doesn't seem to
have a clue what I
mean. Looks like I'll
have to explain to
him about how he must
be pure-hearted
because he was able
to see Fairy and Me
when we first met.
Just kidding.
Actually, I can tell
he's not a bad person
because of the time
we<bh:81>fve spent together.





The guy seems
surprised that I
believe he didn't steal
anything.


Part 19

He's looked at me
and the book as if to
say, "What has the
book got to do with
it?"

"I mean, after all,
you're able to see
this book, so..."
Hmm, he still doesn't
get it judging by the
look of astonishment.
Oh well. (Giggles)
I'll have to explain
it to him properly. I
flipped open the cover
and pointed to the
first page. The
following words
appeared.

______________________
The person who reads
this book to the
end shall be granted
one wish, whatever
it may be.

But, this book is
only visible to those
pure of heart.
______________________

"When you came to
this house, I was
startled and dropped
this book. You picked
it up for me, which
means that you are
pure-hearted because
you can see it.
A pure-hearted person
wouldn't steal
anything."





I believed what the
guy said because of
what was written in
Fairy and Me...Just
kidding.


Part 20

"A pure-hearted person
wouldn't steal
anything," I said
pointing at the last
three lines of the
first page. Of course
I don't believe what's
written in the book.
I just don't know how
to explain it, so
it's easier to explain
it this way...

"Do you think it's
wise to believe
someone so easily, or
believe what's
written in a book for
that matter? I mean,
admittedly you
helped me thanks to
that, but..."
"Of course I didn't
believe you only
because of that. I
think I'm a good judge
of character too."
I can't explain it
any better than this,
so give up. Ask me
something else if you
want.

"You know, a little
while ago you said
I came here on
purpose, like you
didn't think it was a
coincidence. Would
you mind telling me
what on earth you
meant by that?"
..Did this guy really
come here without
knowing anything
about me?





I didn't believe what
the guy said only
because of what was
written in Fairy and
I.


Part 21

..Did this guy really
come here without
knowing anything
about me?
Well then, I guess
I'll have to explain
things properly.

"What? You mean you
didn't come here
because you knew
who I was?
..Hmm, I see.
Well then, I'll tell
you the story from
the beginning.
As I told you just
before, my father's a
a workaholic. And
he's pretty
successful in
business. In fact, he
owns the department
store where the
incident you're
involved in happened."
The guy nodded as if
he believed me.

"So I thought maybe
you found out where I
lived and came here.
But I was wrong...
What a huge
coincidence!"
He nodded again in
agreement. But if he
really did come here
by chance without
knowing, maybe the
power of  Fairy and Me
is really working...
No, that<bh:81>f silly! But
I can't dismiss it
entirely as a mere
coincidence...





The guy really didn't
know anything. Is it
really a coincidence
that he came here
though? Or...


Part 22

"Anyway, I'd like to
do whatever I can to
help. The stolen
jewelry was in your
bag right? Then let's
find out how it got
there."
Chances are that
something was caught
on tape by the
security cameras in
the jewelry shop when
the guy was there
yesterday, so if we
can take a look at
them maybe we
can clear everything
up.

"How are we going to
find out?"
"I'll ask the store
manager to show me
the security camera
tapes from yesterday.
We'll see if there's
anything suspicious
on the tapes."
I hope the video from
yesterday is still
around.

"Well, I'll call the
store manager right
away and ask for
them to be delivered.
Please wait a while."
I left the room right
away and called the
jewelry shop.

"Hello, it's me. I
was wondering if I
could have a look at
the security camera
tapes from yesterday?"





I decided to ask if I
could see the store's
security camera tapes.


Part 23

"Hello, it's me. I
was wondering if I
could have a look at
the security camera
tapes from yesterday?"
..Yes, all of them.
As soon as possible...
Yes, please. Thanks."
Click
..Good. All we have
to do now is wait for
the tapes to arrive.
I'll let the guy know
right away.
When I returned to my
bedroom, the guy was
waiting in the same
place as when I left.
He seems really
anxious.

"I called the store
manager. It looks
like  he's going to
have them sent over
so we'll have to wait
a while. Um, it'll
probably be tough to
just wait around. Why
don't you read this
book or something?"
I passed him Fairy
and Me which was lying
on  the desk.

"Why this book?"
"You're interested in
this book right? When
you're talking to me
I notice you glancing
at the book now and
then..."
I'm just kidding. I
thought that if he
watched TV, he might
feel uncomfortable if
news of the theft
came on...





I called the store
manager and he said
he said he'd have
the tapes sent over.


Part 24

The guy nodded and
took the book Fairy
and Me. I stared at
him closely as he
began reading.

"Um, why are you
staring at me like
that?"
"Please just ignore
me and keep reading,"
I teased him. I guess
I'm distracting him.
He'll be fine once he
gets into the book.
Then he'll lose track
of time till the
tapes arrive.
In no time at all,
he seemed completely
completely wrapped
up in Fairy and Me.

..I wonder how much
time has passed? The
sun just went down.
PING, PONG
Ah. The tapes are
finally here. I went
to the porch and
opened the door.

"Hello. Oh, you
brought them
personally? Thank you
very much. Okay, good
night.
The store manager
left right away, and
I went to tell the
guy the tapes had
arrived.

I returned to my room
and said to him,
"Can I interrupt you
for a second?"





The store manager
dropped off the tapes
personally. I'd better
let the guy know
right away.


Part 25

"Can I interrupt you
for a second?"
He seemed startled by
my sudden appearance.

"Sure. What's up?"
"Would you like to see
the security camera
tapes that the store
manager dropped off a
just before?"
As soon as I said
that, he seemed eager
to see them.

"I imagine there must
be a lot of video
shot by the security
cameras in a day at
that department store.
But for the time
being, there's not a
lot of point in
looking at video
shot outside the area
I was in, right?
I went in to the
department store at
about two o<bh:81>fclock
yesterday, and went
straight to the
jewelry shop on the
4th floor. I looked
around and bought a
broach. As I was about
to leave the shop,
there was a strange
noise - a security
alarm maybe - and a
shop assistant told
me to stop."
"I see. Let's take a
look at the video
shot around that
time."
I nodded in agreement.
and stood up.





When I told the guy
that the tapes had
arrived, he seemed
eager to see them
right away.


Part 26

I nodded in agreement
with what he said and
stood up.

He didn't seem to
know why I had stood
up at first. But he
looked around the
room and seemed to
figure out that we
couldn't watch the
tapes here, so he
stood up and followed
me.
We left the room and
went to the cardboard
box in the porch.
"This box contains
all the security
camera video shot at
the department store
yesterday. Let's find
the tapes shot around
the time you
mentioned just before.
It'd be too tiring to
carry the whole
thing," I said and
opened the box. The
guy pulled out a tape
with the time he'd
he'd mentioned
written on it.

"Please bring it to
this room over here."
I showed him to a
room where we could
watch the tape.

"Here?"
"Yes, this is the only
room where we can
watch it. Let's not
waste any time."





We started watching
the security camera
video right away.


Part 27

"Well, let's look at
the tape right away."
We looked at the
section of tape from
when the guy entered
the jewelry shop to
when he left, but
no one came near him
from when the
security alarm went
off to when he was
told to stop by the
shop assistant. How
could that be? The
security alarm
shouldn't have gone
off unless somebody
put the stolen item
in his bag at some
point. There must be
something here, but
what? Anyway, I'll
rewind the tape and
have another look at
the spot where the
guy was told to stop
by the shop assistant.

"What's up? Is
something bothering
you?"
"...Yes. From what
I<bh:81>fve seen so far,
there's no evidence
of anyone putting the
the stolen jewelry
in your bag. And of
course, there's no
sign of you stealing
it either. But
it's odd that the
security alarm would
go off. We're missing
something..."
What's this? It looks
like the shop
assistant is up to
something. Hmm, but
he's a little ways
away from the guy...
The shop assistant
made a slight movement
at the exit but I'm
not sure if it's of
any significance. Hmm,
but no one else is
doing anything except
that shop assistant...
Oh, I wonder if...





I noticed something
while watching the
security camera video.


Part 28

"What's going on? Do
you see something?"
"Please hang on a
second!"
I rewound the tape
again and looked at
the same spot. No
doubt about it. The
shop assistant poked
his hand out of the
store just as the guy
was leaving. Looks
like the assistant
has something in his
hand...

"So that it explains
it. Please have a
look at this," I said
pointing at the shop
assistant standing at
the exit and rewound
the tape a little.
The guy seemed to see
the same thing.

"That's right. This
shop assistant had the
jewelry in his hand
from the start, and
set the alarm off as
you passed by. Then,
he told you to stop
and while he was
pretending to search
your bag, he slipped
the jewelry into it.
Look , right here!"
There's no doubt that
the security alarm
was set off by the
shop assistant.
The shop assistant
slipped whatever he
was holding in the
guy's bag while
pretending to search
it...





Whatever happened in
store seemed to be
because of the shop
assistant.


Part 29

The shop assistant
slipped whatever was
in his hand into the
guy's bag.

<bh:81>gYou're right. But
why?<bh:81>h
<bh:81>gI have no idea...
But it's too late to
do anything today, so
we'll find out
tomorrow.<bh:81>h
It was already past
midnight. Of course,
the department store
is already closed,
so there's no way
we'll be able to talk
to the shop assistant.
Anyway, we know that
it was the shop
assistant who did
something and not the
guy, so there's no
need to rush. We might
as well wind down for
the night.

<bh:81>gLet's leave it at
that for the day.
Please wait while I
fill the tub for you
so you can take a
bath before going to
bed.<bh:81>h
Before the guy could
reply, I left the room
and went to the
bathroom and started
filling the tub.
If I send the guy
home right now, the
police might find him,
so it's better if he
stays here tonight.
But I wonder if he'll
agree?





It was already past
midnight when I
noticed the time.
We can continue
tomorrow.


Part 30

"The bath is ready.
You can go first."
"Oh, okay...But
where's the bathroom?"
Oh, that's right. I
guess I never told
him where the
bathroom was in the
first place.

"I'll show you. Hang
on a second."
I walked back to the
room where the guy
was.

"Sorry. Please follow
me."
Oh, he was reading
Fairy and Me. Looks
like he'll finish
reading it today
(mind you, it's
already past
midnight).
Well, I'll show him
to the bathroom.

"This is the bathroom.
I'll wash your
clothes, so please put
them in this basket.
Oh, I forgot to get
you a change of
clothes. I'll be right
back. In the meantime,
please get in the
bath. And if you need
anything else, just
ask."
"Okay. Thanks."





I showed the guy to
the bathroom, and he's
going to take a bath.


Part 31

"If you need
anything else, just
ask."
The guy took his
clothes off when I
left the bathroom.
I'd better prepare
him a change of
clothes. But mine are
too small (besides,
he might not be too
happy wearing girl's
clothes). I guess
he'll have to wear
father's. But those
will be way too
big...Oh well. I
guess that's better
than too small.

..I hunted through
my father's drawers
and found some
pajamas. Hmm, they
really are huge...I'll
leave them outside
the bathroom anyway.

"Excuse me. I'll leave
the change of clothes
for you here. They're
my father's, so,
they may be a
little...well, quite
big."
"That's okay. Thanks."
Really? They're huge.
Never mind. I'll put
his clothes in the
washing machine and
add detergent and
water. Five minutes
should do it.
(Sound of washing
machine churning away)
Good! Now. I guess
I'll get a futon
ready for him.





The change of clothes
look pretty big on
the guy, but he
doesn't seem to mind.


Part 32

I wonder if he'd mind
using father's futon?
Maybe I should carry
his futon to the
parlor and lay it out
there. (If he's going
to use father's futon
he probably wouldn't
mind sleeping in
father's room but...)
Anyway, I'll put the
futon here. That
should do it.
SPLASH
Oh, sounds like the
guy's finished his
bath. I'll tell him
to come here in a
minute.

..Wonder if he's
finished changing?
The guy was coming
out of the bathroom
just as I came out of
the parlor.

"Oh, are you finished
already?
..I guess the
pajamas are too big
eh? But that's all
there is, so please
make do with them for
tonight.
I prepared a futon
for you in this room,
so please sleep here
tonight."
"Wow, you even
prepared a bed for me?
Thanks."





The pajamas I
prepared for the guy
were huge.


Part 33

"Oh, you even
prepared a bed for
me. Thanks."
"I wouldn't expect
you to sleep on the
floor...
Well, I guess it's my
turn to take a bath,"
I said and went to
the bathroom.
..Oh yeah. I better
warn the guy not to
peep at me.
Just kidding. I'll
just tease him a bit.
When I returned to
the parlor, the guy
was about to read
Fairy and Me.

"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Please don't peep at
me okay?"
"..................."
He seems to be at a
loss for words. Maybe
I shouldn't give him
such a hard time.

"I'm just kidding. A
nice guy like you
wouldn't do that,
right? Well, I'm really
going this time."
"...I won't. Don't
worry."
"Okay," I said and
really went to take
a bath this time.





Before taking a bath
I warned the guy not
to peep at me and he
seemed at a loss for
words.


Part 34

SPLASH
Ahh, that was nice.
I dried myself and
got changed.
Finished. Now then, I
might as well see how
the guy's getting on.
Wonder how far he's
got reading Fairy and
I?
..I went back to the
parlor, but  he was
so wrapped up in the
book that he didn't
notice me standing
behind him at all.

(Sound of book
closing)
He closed the book,
so I guess he's
finished it.

"Um, have you
finished the book?"
The guy turned around
with a startled look.

"Sorry. I didn't mean
to startle you...Did
you finish reading
the book?"
He nodded.
Okay. Next question.

"How was it? Was it
interesting?"
He nodded again.
Okay. Next question.
I know what the
answer'll be though.

"So...What's your
wish?"
"Of course, I'd like
everyone to know that
I didn't steal
anything."





The guy finished
reading Fairy and Me
while I was taking a
bath.


Part 35

"Of course, I'd like
everyone to know that
I didn't steal
anything."
"That's good. I'm
sure your wish will
come true tomorrow."
I thought he'd say
that. He deserves
that but that means
we won't be together
after today. (Mind
you, we only spent
today together). I'll
go back to being alone
tomorrow. Too bad.
Hmm...Maybe the guy
will stay with me
forever. Oh, but...

"By the way, did you
read the book to the
end too? Do you have
a wish?"
"Yes. Before I tell
you...uh...can I ask
you something?"
If he went to the
jewelry store to buy
a present for his
girlfriend then
there's no point in
telling him my wish.
I'll ask him if he
has a girlfriend.

"Go ahead."
"The broach you
bought at the jewelry
shop yesterday was a
present for a girl
wasn't it? Who was
it for?"





"They guy's wish is
for everyone to know
know that he didn't
steal anything. My
wish..."
..


Part 36

"Oh, for my sister.
Her birthday's coming
up soon. She gets
upset if I don't buy
her something every
year and if I don't
get something she
likes, she gets in a
bad mood...So this
this year we went to
the store together
beforehand so she
could choose something
she liked. That way I
know there won't be
a problem."
His sister? Feels
like a new character
suddenly appearing on
the scene.

"Then, it's not a
present for your
girlfriend?"
"Unfortunately, I
don't have a
girlfriend."
What? Then that means
I have a chance.
Good! I'll tell him
my wish.

"My wish is...
to have a boyfriend...
A boyfriend with a
pure heart.
..Somehow it didn't
come out straight
but I think he
understood.

He thought about it
for a second and
nodded.
Great! I'm no longer
alone!


          The End
Epilog

The shop assistant
owned up completely
to what he did.

Actually, that guy
came to the store
with his sister a
while ago (he was
letting her choose
an accessory for
herself). Seems that
that the shop
assistant was
mesmerized by her
and thought the guy
was her boyfriend.
To be honest, he was
totally jealous...
So when the assistant
saw the guy come to
the store again, he
put the jewelry in
his bag in spite of
himself.
When the shop
assistant heard that
the girl he was
obsessed with was the
guy's sister, he was
totally surprised.
In the end, the shop
assistant apologized
to the guy. I'm not
sure whether the guy
forgave him or not
but it doesn't really
matter because the
girl told the shop
assistant that she
already had a
boyfriend...

Anyway, I wonder why
she didn't ask her
boyfriend to buy her
a present instead of
her  brother...

f) CARD COLLECTOR CHISATO (cacoch)
##################################

Part 1


"Hey, Chisato, have you
heard? Or rather, have you
seen?"

Oh, good morning, Mariya!
What are you talking about?

"Remember the rumor last
month that said Ranch Tales
trading cards were being
released? Well, it's
happened."

Huh? Really?

"Yeah, there's a big poster
for it hanging in the store.
And I really want that
poster so bad."

Then why don't we go down to
the shop together when they
go on sale?

"Sure, OK. Or should I say,
that's what I had in mind
all along.

Ranch Tales trading cards...
I'll get me a complete set
if it's the last thing I do!


This is a fictional story.
Any resemblance to any
actual persons or
organizations is completely
coincidental.


Part 2


Came the day that the
Ranch Tales trading cards
went on sale...

OK, let's go.

"Right, or should I say,
that goes without saying."

Arriving at the store...

Oh yeah, they've got 'em,
all right.

A pack of 10 for 400 yen. So
that's 6000 yen for a box,
at 15 packs per box.
start with two boxes.

How many are you buying,
Mariya...? Huh? All you've
got are bags. You don't buy
boxes?

"Right, or should I say,
I've never bought whole
boxes before."

Oh, is that so... Come to
think of it, we've never
actually gone shopping
together before, have we...
Well, whatever.

After the shopping was
done...

Now how should we do this?
Do you want to come over to
my place, and then compare
the cards we bought?

"Hmm, well, no, I think
I'll pass, and let it be a
surprise for tomorrow. That
is to say, tomorrow is when
we report on what cards we
got.

OK, I hear you. Until
tomorrow, then. 'Bye.

"'Bye. Or should I say,
could you see me home? It's
dark already."

So it was that I didn' t get
home until after I saw
Mariya home...

Now then, let's get these
puppies opened up.
RIP (opening the boxes)
SHRED (taking out the bags)
TEAR (opening the bags)

Now to see what the fi<bh:09>rst
card will be.
"Fodder... An Equipment
Card..." How dull. But I
guess that's par for the
course with the first draw.

So I opened all the bags...

I've got 186 card types in
all of the bags. I've got a
long way to go if I'm going
to get all 256 of them.

He needs 70 cards to get a
complete Ranch Tales trading
card set.


Part 3


"Hey, hey, Chisato? How did
it go? Or should I say, show
me what you've got."

OK, here it is. The two
boxes I bought yesterday had
a total of 156 different
card types in them, so it
looks like I need
70 more card types to
complete my set.

"Wow. Nice going. I've only
got 130 card types right
now? What did you get? Let
me start by showing you what
I got."

Right, and here's what I
got.

"Oh, lucky you. I still
haven't got any Fodder cards
yet. Actually, I haven't got
any item cards yet."

Oh, really?" OK, let's have
a look at yours now.
FLIP (the sound of pages
full of cards being turned
in a binder)

Hey, you've got some really
shiny ones in here. Those
must be rare cards. Oh, and
here's another one.

"I'm thinking we could swap
our duplicates. That is to
say, these are my duplicate
cards."

RUSTLE RUSTLE (the sound of
rummaging through a
briefcase) These are the
only duplicate cards I've
got.

"Let me see... All right!
You've already got a double
of the Fodder card. Not only
that, but also the Sheep's
Milk card as well."

And you've got several cards
that I don't have, either.

These seven cards are ones
that I don't have. How many
cards are you missing among
my duplicates, Chisato?

Seven. Hey, the same as you.
So we could just swap
straight across, I guess.

"Yeah, that works. Or should
I say, thanks."

Thank you too. Being able to
swap my duplicate cards has
given me some more types I
didn't have before.

Only 63 cards to go to
complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 4


Today I went to the store by
myself. You see, Mariya
wasn't at school today, and
didn't invite me to go
along. So I figured I'd just
get three bags this time.
Another reason is that my
allowance won't let me keep
buying boxes all the time,
either.

Now which ones should I
buy... Eenie, meenie, minie,
moe!

And with that, my shopping
was done.

I headed straight home.

And once I got there...

Now, let's open these
babies up. SHRED (the sound
of bags being torn open)

GLEAM! Oh wow, this shining
card--it's the Super Sickle
equipment card! All right!
Score a rare card for me!

Once I had all the bags
opened, however...

Unfortunately, I've already
got all these other cards.
But hey, tomorrow I can at
least report that I got a
Super Sickle card. But then
again, Mariya was absent
from school today. What
about tomorrow?

Only 62 cards to go to
complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 5


The next day...
"Morning, long time no
see."
Oh, Mariya, you're looking
all better now.

"Yeah, I'm fine, or should
I say, I'm sorry if I made
you worry."

Well, you did stay home from
school all of a sudden. Now
what do you say we get back
in the swing of things (even
if after only a day's lapse)
and go buy some more Ranch
Tales trading cards
together?

"Yeah, or should I say,
let's go, definitely!

So we went to the store,
where I once again bought
three bags of cards...

Now which ones should I
buy... Eenie, meenie, minie,
moe!

"Thanks and come again!"

Later...
Now, then, let's open these
babies up. SHRED (the sound
of bags being torn open)

The only one I don't already
have in this batch is this
Tomato Seeds card.

Only 61 cards to go to
complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 6


No school today! I'm going
to go buy trading cards.

I'll just buy three bags
as usual today...

Now which ones should I
buy... Eenie, meenie, minie,
moe!

Now to head home... Wait,
that's Mariya over there.
And he's got Ranch Tales
trading cards too, if I'm
not mistaken. Maybe I can
get him to swap me for some
cards that I don't have.

Yo!

"Oh, good morning, Chisato,
or should I say, you've got
Ranch Tales trading cards
there. So how many have you
got?

This many.

"Hmm, not bad, or should I
say, I don't have this one,
or this one either... Hey,
you've got the Super Sickle!
Lucky. Or should I say,
here, have a look at what
I've got."

You're doing pretty good for
yourself. Say, I don't have
this one.

And so it went, as we looked
at one another's cards...

So what do you think? I'm
missing this one and this
one here...

"Well, I've got doubles of
that and that, so I could
swap them to you, which is
to say, I don't have this
one... or this one...

I've only got the one Super
Sickle, but I have doubles
of the other ones you want.
You want to swap?

"Yeah, or should I say, all
right!"

Later...
I really lucked out today. I
was able to swap my
doubles... But wait. What
happens if it turns out that
the cards I swapped for are
duplicated by the ones I
bought today...? Well, I'll
live with it. Let's open
these babies up. SHRED (the
sound of bags being torn
open)

Hey, I got another rare
card. This time it's a
character card, the 'Goddess
of the Wellspring.' I wonder
what else is in here...

Oh, good, there weren't all
that many doubles, and I
also got a bunch of cards
that I didn't already have!
Life is good.

Now he only needs 25 cards
to complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 7


It's my day to clean the
classroom, so I told Mariya
to go on to the store
without me.

I'm finished cleaning the
classroom. Now it's off to
the store, where I'll buy
another three bags of cards.

Now which ones should I
buy... Eenie, meenie, minie,
moe!

"Thank you and come
again!"
Now, let's see, where could
Mariya be? Hey, wait,
there's a Ranch Tales
trading card lying on the
floor here! And it's a rare
card too, the 'Goat's Milk'
food card! Oh, wow! What a
find!

(Glancing around furtively)
There's no one around.

The Angel on Chisato's
Shoulder: "The person who
dropped it will be missing
it right about now. You
should turn it in, as lost
and found, perhaps to the
police...
The Devil on Chisato's
Shoulder: "Whoever dropped
this card isn't likely to
know where it was dropped.
Besides, there's no one
around, so no one will know
that you picked it up."

As I was thinking this thing
through...

"Oh, Chisato, good timing!
Or should I say, did you see
a card lying around here? It
was a 'Goat's Milk' food
card, and...

Oh I see, then this must
belong to you, Mariya. Here
you go.

"Oh good, or should I say,
I knew it was here. I'm glad
it was you who found it, or
should I say, I need to pay
you back somehow."

Oh, forget it.

"No way, or should I say, I
can't leave it at that.
Here, have this one, by way
of saying thanks." And with
that, he gave me a Tomato
food card.

Are you sure about this?

"The last time we did a
swap, you said you didn't
have this card. Or should I
say, I got a double when I
when shopping today."

Thanks.

Later...
Well, now, I really lucked
out today. I got a card I
didn't already have. But
even so, I still envy him
for having that Goat's Milk
food card, though... But,
well, whatever. Let's open
these babies up, and see
what I bought today. SHRED
(the sound of bags being
torn open)

No sooner do I do that, then
I find I've actually bought
the Goat's Milk food card...
Only now, I've also got a
double of the card that
Mariya gave me today as
well...

Now he only needs 12 cards
to complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.\<et>

Part 8


Today I went to the store by
myself. Mariya couldn't come
with me because he was asked
to run some errand or other.

Now I'm at the store, where
I pick out my usual three
bags, and...

"Thank you."

Now I'm back home, so let's
open these babies up and see
what I bought today. SHRED
(the sound of bags being
torn open)

Oh no! I've already got all
of these cards. I didn't get
any new card types today!

He still needs 12 cards to
complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 9


Today, Mariya and I went to
the store together,
whereupon I bought my usual
three bags of cards...

"Thank you."

"See you tomorrow. Let me
know if you get anything."

Sure. 'Bye.

Now let's open these babies
up, and see what I bought
today. SHRED (the sound of
bags being torn open)

Oh no! Not again! This is
two days in a row that I
haven't gotten any new
cards!

He still needs 12 cards to
complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 10


"Morning, Chisato, or should
I say, what did you get in
the cards you bought
yesterday?"

No cards I didn't already
have, unfortunately. And it
was the same thing the day
before yesterday, too...

"Well, you've already got a
lot of cards in the set. Or
should I say, you're just
naturally going to get some
doubles at this point."

How about you, Mariya?

"I added a fair number of
cards myself. To put it
another way, I only have
five cards to go."

Huh? When did that happen?

"Well, I got a bunch of
cards I didn't already have
in the ones I bought
yesterday. Or to put it
another way, I got hardly
any doubles at all.

Hmm, lucky you. Now I'm
jealous...

"But there were a few
doubles after all, so let's
swap. Or should I say, these
are the doubles that I got."

Sure. And here's the doubles
that I've got. (FLUMPH!)

"Wow! You've got a lot of
doubles. Or to put it
another way, I'm missing
this one, this one, and this
one."

And you've got a bunch of
the ones that I don't have,
either! I need this one and
this one and this one and
this one and this one and...
Hey! You've got the Golden
Chicken, one of the Rare
Animal cards! And you
managed to get a double of
this one?

"Yeah, or should I say, are
these eight card types the
ones I have that you need?"

Yeah...

"In that case, you can have
them all for these three
that you have and I don't.
Or to put it another way,
I'll trade you these for
those.

Huh? Are you sure?

"Yeah, or should I say,
having more than one of a
given card doesn't do either
of us any good at this
point."

All right! Thanks. I don't
think I'll go to the store
today after all.


Now he only needs four cards
to complete his Ranch Tales
trading card set.


Part 11


"Good morning, Chisato, or
should I say, didn't you buy
any cards yesterday?"

No. I was too upset from
not getting any new cards
for three days in a row, and
I figured that getting eight
new cards yesterday was
enough, so I just went home.

"OK. I see your point. So
what do you want to do
today? Or to put it another
way, I'm going to the store
today. What about you?"

OK then, I'll join you.

And with that, we were off
to the store, where I once
again bought my usual three
bags of cards.

"I'm going to take this one
and this one. Or to put it
another way, which ones are
you are going to get,
Chisato?"

Hmm, well, I don't rightly
know which ones to get.

"To put it another way, how
about these over here?"

Hmm... Yes, you're right.
I'll take those.

"Thank you."

"Well, so long. Or should I
say, let me know tomorrow if
you got anything new
today."
Sure. 'Bye.

Later...
OK, let's open these babies
up and see what we bought
today. SHRED (the sound of
bags being torn open)

Oh wow! I got three cards
that I didn't already have!


Now he's only one card away
from completing his Ranch
Tales trading card set.


Part 12


"Good morning, Chisato, or
should I say, how did your
purchases yesterday turn
out?"

Oh, Mariya, thanks a lot.
The bags you picked out for
me yesterday turned out to
have some of the cards I was
missing, and now I only need
one card to complete my set.

"That wouldn't, by any
chance, be this one, would
it? Or to put it another
way, it could only be this
one, am I right?"

Huh? Oh, the Wedding Event
Card! Yes, that's the one!
But how did you know that
was the one I needed? Oh,
wait, you don't mean...

"That's right, or to put it
another way, I've got two of
this one, so you can have
it."

You mean it?

All right! Now I've got a
complete set!

Congratulations on
completing your Ranch Tales
trading card set!

The girls' shrieks become

"OK, guys, we're going to
rescue those girls!"
commands Red.  The others
all nod.
"Yellow, you stay here and
rest!"
"No way! I'm fine, and I'm
a member of the Ultror
Team too!"
"...OK then.  Everybody,
here we go, transform!
"Go, go go! Ultror
Transform!" they yell in
unison.  There is a sudden
flash, and all three are
enveloped in bright light.

around the girls' feet.

mist until it comes away
from the victims' feet.

to the side of the pool.
The rescue has only taken

"Yes, that's everyone.
They're all unconscious,
though."
"But... what IS that white
mist thing?"
"Well, what does it matter
what it is?  We saved
everyone who was drowning,
and whatever it is, I
think we got rid it."
But even as Yellow is
speaking<bh:81>Ca strange
gurgling noise fills the
air.  The water in the pool
starts spinning like a
whirlpool, and then, in
defiance of the law of
gravity, rises skywards...

Gurgling and hissing, the

"You think the white mist
took over all the water
from the pool?"
"Or maybe the white mist
had turned itself into
pool water in the first
place?"
"Well, whichever it was,
hadn't we better defeat
it somehow?"
"Absolutely!"
During this conversation,
the white mist has
expanded steadily, until
it hangs over the entire

"Let's go!"
PowPowPowPow! Bopp!
"Aargh!"
Ultror Robot 1 (Red's
robot), which had leapt
on the white mist, is
simply batted away.
"Ugh, so that's how it
is.." Even when it was
small, this thing covered my
hand with cuts and scratches
as soon as I touched it...so
now that it's got this big,

"..True! It looks like the
white mist is only
interested in girls. I was
in the pool, and there were
other guys in there too, but
it picked on girls every
time.  But that doesn't help
us get inside...
Ah! Of course!"

Prolog


If you have read this book

granted one wish, whatever
that wish might be

However,
Only the pure of heart can
ever find this book.


And the book is now sleeping
on a shelf in the school
library...


- FAIRY AND ME -
HE SAID... (Reprise)


Chapter 1


Right now, I'm in the school
library...although -- even
though I do really like
reading books -- I haven't
come in here to study....
That's Ellen Garner.
She's the librarian. I come
in here everyday because I
want to meet her.

But that day, there was no
sign of her in the library.
Maybe the End-of-Day Meeting
had overrun, or something.

I hadn't anything much
to do, so I was browsing
the shelves in a fairly
random manner.
Then, as if drawn by some
mysterious force, I found
myself picking out a
a particular volume.
Its title was 'Fairy and
Me'.

Right now, I'm in the school
library. I'm a library
officer, so I handle
lending, and do various
other duties.  Of course, I
like reading, and I don't
hate studying that much
either.

But today, I've got the
whole library to myself.
I've got nothing much to
do, so I'm browsing the
shelves kind of randomly.
(Huh? I never knew we had
this book...?)
I pick it up to take a
look, and the title is
'Fairy and Me'.

HE SAID (REPRISE)


Chapter 2

As if drawn by some unknown
force, I found myself
taking out a particular
book.
'Fairy and Me' was the
title."Well, since I've
gone to the trouble of
taking it off the shelf',
I thought, "I might as
well take a look inside."

I was startled by what I
read.

('So I can have any wish
granted...? Just by reading
this book, I can have
anything I wish for, just
like that..?
Well, if I can really have
anything I wish for, I
wish I was going out with
Ellen.
"Er, can you see that
book?", said a voice right
beside me.
(I was too startled to say
anything.)

Chapter 2


I didn't remember seeing
this book before.
('Fairy and Me', eh?
Well, since I've
gone to the trouble of
taking it off the shelf',
I might as well take a
look" inside."
I read....and read....

(So I can have a wish
come true?
Just by reading this book,
I can wish for anything I
want, and have my wish
granted?"
Well, if that's the case,
I wish I had a nice kind
boyfriend...
Well, I'd better read to
the end of the book first.)

I read.... and I read....

And eventually I came to
the very end.

- FAIRY AND ME -

Chapter 3

Suddenly, I heard a voice
behind me. I turned round
with a start, and there
was Ellen...
"Oh, sorry...I didn't mean
to startle you...",
she said.
I was too flustered to
reply.
"Er, can you see that
book?"
Again, I was unable to
get any words out.
She repeated the question.
For a moment, I couldn't
think what she could mean.
then I remembered the
passage at the beginning
of the book:
'Only the pure of heart can
ever find this book.'
That must be what she meant!
"You mean that stuff about
the pure of heart?"
She giggled.
(At that moment, I noticed
for the first time that
Ellen was smiling..)

Chapter 3


As soon as I finished the
last page, the chimes
sounded.  It was weird.
Almost as if the chimes
had been waiting until I'd
finished the book.

BING! BONG!
"SCHOOL IS NOW CLOSING FOR
THE DAY. ANYONE STILL IN
THE SCHOOL BUILDING MUST
NOW LEAVE FOR HOME. I
REPEAT, SCHOOL IS NOW
CLOSING....
(What? Is it that time
already? Well, I'd better
lock up and head home...)

As soon as I changed into
my outdoor shoes and
stepped out of the door
I saw it had started
snowing.
(Oh, it's been snowing. It's
going to be freezing cold on
the way back.)

- FAIRY AND ME -
HE SAID... (REPRISE)


Chapter 4

"Thank goodness you know
what I'm talking about..
So you've read that book
as well?"
She held her head slightly
to one side.
(I'd taken it from the shelf
absent-mindedly, and I'd
only read a bit... but
having started, I thought
I might as well go on
reading it.)
"Since you'd started it,
you thought you might as
well go ahead and finish it,
right?"
I looked at her in
surprise.
"You're wondering how I
knew, aren't you?  I can
see it in your face.
Well, I've been here
watching you ever since you
opened the book. You never
even noticed I was there,
you got so engrossed in it.
So I thought, if you had
never read the book, you
would probably want to
read it now."
(I see...)

Chapter 4


On my way home from school
that day, I heard a voice
coming from the direction
of the park. Wondering
what was going on, I
looked round, to see a
white puppy in a cardboard
box, apparently abandoned,
and a man crouching next
to the puppy, talking to
it.
"Poor thing", he was
saying. "But they don't
allow pets in my apartment
block, so I can't take you
home. Sorry. But I could
buy you some milk! Wait a
minute, I'll be back..."
With that, he hurried off
to the nearby convenience
store.
"What a nice guy..." I
thought to myself, and
before I knew it I was
standing in front of the
abandoned puppy.

Chapter 5


"So, what are you going to
do about it?
I wondered what she meant.
"What I mean is, you have
two options: borrow it and
read it at home, or come
here everyday to read it."
("Hang on a minute", I
thought to myself. "I never
actually said anything
about intending to read
it.")
"But you are going to read
it, aren't you?
If you're going to borrow
the book, you just take out
the card that's in here
(here she showed me the
card pocket inside the
front cover) and write
your name and class on it,
and hand it to me

To be continued...



- FAIRY AND ME -

Chapter 5

Seeing that the puppy's
head was collecting a
dusting of snow, I started
to feel sorry for it
myself.
("You poor little thing.
it's cold out here.")
Absent-mindedly I picked
up the puppy and held it
close to me, brushing the
snow off its head...
I took off my scarf and
and wrapped it loosely
around the puppy. Then I
took it home with me.
When I got home, I
remembered the man who
had gone to buy it milk.
("Oh, dear, what's he going
to think...?
I'll be back in a minute,
puppy.  You stay here.


To be continued ...


- FAIRY AND ME -
HE SAID... (REPRISE)


Chapter 6


I took the card out, wrote
my class and my name on it
and handed it to Ellen.
"OK, that's fine. You can
borrow it for up to 10
days.  Don't forget to
return it by then."

BING! BONG!
"SCHOOL IS NOW CLOSING FOR
THE DAY. ANYONE STILL IN
THE SCHOOL BUILDING MUST
NOW LEAVE FOR HOME. I
REPEAT, SCHOOL IS NOW
CLOSING....
"Oh", she said, "Is it
that time already? Sorry,
I have to lock up and
so on, so I'll have to ask
you to leave"
I nodded and turned towards
the door.  She spoke again.
"Goodbye.  I hope your wish
comes true..."

Chapter 6

When I got back to the
park, that guy was just
coming out of it.
("Ah, it's him", I
thought. "I wonder if he's
on his way home.")
Before I knew it, I found
myself following him.

Eventually he arrived at
what was presumably his
apartment.
("So this is where he
lives, huh? Hmmm, I wish
I had a boyfriend as nice
as him...")
Then, despite my interest
in the man, I remembered
the puppy at home, and
set off back to my own
place. I found the puppy
asleep. No doubt the
warmth had made it drowsy. I
wondered what I should give
it to eat when it woke up.

.Two or three days later,
the puppy was looking very
fit and healthy.

- FAIRY AND ME -

Chapter 7

"Goodbye", she said.
"I hope your wish comes
true."
I remembered how the book
had said if I read it all
the way through, I could
have a wish granted.
But...
Still, Ellen  had
actually talked to me,
and she didn't seem to
dislike me, at least.
Regardless of whether
my wish was going to be
granted or not, I was
glad just to have had
the chance to talk to her.
I waved goodbye to
Ellen  and stepped
out of the library.

- FAIRY AND ME -
SHE SAID... (REPRISE)


Chapter 7


When the puppy was fully
fit and healthy...
Something new happened.
That guy turned up in the
library!
("Oh no...but then there's
no reason why he should
know who I am...unless..
unless he caught me
following him that time.
Aaggh! Oh no!" I thought,
secretly, as I went about
my work (I was replacing
returned books to the
appropriate places on the
shelves.

At a suitable juncture in
my work, I glanced at the
guy, and he seemed to be
studying some book. It
didn't look as if he was
going to ask me anything,
so I breathed a sigh of
relief.

However, from that day on,
the guy started coming to
the library everyday.
So, he was kind AND
studious....I found myself
liking him more and more.

Chapter 8

As I changed into my
outdoor shoes at the door,
I noticed it had been
snowing.  I thought to
myself that it had also
been a snowy day when I
first saw Ellen ...

[Flashback begins]
That day, when I was walking
home from school, I heard a
voice coming from the park.
I went to look, and found
a white puppy, apparently
abandoned, in a carboard
box.
I felt sorry for the poor
little thing, but since
pets aren't allowed in my
apartment block, I couldn't
take it home. Thinking that
I could at least give it
something to eat, I went off
to a nearby convenience
store to buy it some milk.
But when I got back, there
was a woman standing beside
the cardboard box. It was
Ellen .

Chapter 8


It was all very well that
I had come to like this
guy, but a long time
passed before I had a
chance to talk to him...

One day, a meeting
overran and I was late
getting back to the library.
When I walked in, that guy
was standing alone by one
of the shelves, looking at
a book.
The book was 'Fairy and Me'.
He seemed engrossed in it,
so I walked a little bit
closer. I was right beside
him and he hadn't even
noticed.
("Aha", I thought,
"here's
my chance to talk to him.
I'll try a remark about
that book..")
And then...
Taking my courage in both
hands, I spoke to him.
"Er, can you see that
book?"

Chapter 9


The woman standing beside
the cardboard box looked
vaguely familiar (she had
her back to me, of course),
and I wondered if it was
someone from my school.
"You poor little thing",
she said. "It's cold out
here."
She picked up the puppy
held it close to her,
brushing the snow off its
head. Then she took off
her scarf and wrapped the
puppy in it.
And then she went home,
taking the puppy with her.
[Flashback ends]

From my hidden vantage
point behind a tree, I
had watched Ellen
walk all the way home
from the park.

"Er...I think you forgot
your umbrella.."
(I was lost for words.)

Chapter 9

He made no reply.
(He looked startled, so
I thought he might not
have heard properly.
"Come on", I told myself
just to say it again.")
"Er, can you see that
book?"
"You mean that stuff about
the pure of heart?", he
replied.
("Yesss!" I thought, "he
understands!")
Have you ever read the
book?", I asked.
He shook his head.
(So he hadn't read it
yet... but he had seemed to
be very engrossed a moment
ago, so I thought he must
be intending to read it.)
"Since you'd started it,
you thought you might as
well go ahead and finish
it," I ventured.
And basically I more or
less forced him to borrow
'Fairy and Me'.

Chapter 10


Suddenly I heard a voice
behind me, and when I
turned round, there was
Ellen.
Oh, sorry.  I didn't mean
to startle you."
I couldn't muster a reply.
"Er, I think you forgot
your umbrella..."
She repeated the sentence.
When I nodded, she said,
"Um, would you mind sharing
it with me as we walk along
this road?"
(Would I mind? I'd give my
right arm...Did she really
just ask me that? Yes, she
did.)
I nodded again, and said,
"It's just a small one, but
you're very welcome to
share it."
I opened the umbrella, and
Ellen and I walked along
side by side in the falling
snow.

And then, while I was
telling him how long he
could borrow the book for,
the chimes went.
BING! BONG!
"SCHOOL IS NOW CLOSING FOR
THE DAY. ANYONE STILL IN
THE SCHOOL BUILDING MUST
NOW LEAVE FOR HOME. I
REPEAT, SCHOOL IS NOW
CLOSING....

"Oh no!", I thought. "Is
it that time already? Just
when I'd plucked up the
courage to talk to him.."

"Oh", I said, "Is it
that time already? Sorry,
I have to lock up and
so on, so I'll have to ask
you to leave"
He nodded and headed for the
door.
"Goodbye", I said.
"I hope your wish comes
true."
He waved goodbye in reply.
(I congratulated myself on
having managed to speak to
him at last.)

Chapter 11


As we walked along in the
snow, Ellen began to
talk.
"You know, this snowy day
reminds me ...
About a month ago, when it
was snowing like today, I
found an abandoned puppy
in that park, and took it
home with me. When I saw
the poor thing shivering
in its cardboard box, I
just couldn't leave it
there....
I found myself picking it
up and carrying it home.
It's got quite big now,
but for the first two or
three days it wouldn't
eat anything, and it
would hardly drink any
milk ... I was really
worried. Oh, here we are.
This is your place, right?
I'll say goodbye, then.
And I hope your wish comes
true."
She dashed off without even
giving me time to say
goodbye.
(Uh-oh.. That's weird.
How did she know where
I live?)

Chapter 11


When I went to the shoe
cabinet after locking up
the library, I saw that
it had started snowing.
Then I noticed that guy
standing in the doorway.
(His umbrella was still
in the stand. Had he
forgotten it? Good! This
was a second chance to
talk to him.)
""Er, I think you forgot
your umbrella...", I said.
He looked startled, but
made no reply.
(Oh no! I'd made him jump
again..)
" I think you forgot
your umbrella...", I
repeated.
He nodded.
(Good. This gave me a
chance to walk along with
him.)
"Um, would you mind sharing
it with me as we walk along
this road?"
He nodded again.
(Yay! I get to walk home
with him!)
"Sure. It's only a small
one, but you're very
welcome to share it."
He and I set off along the
road home, walking
companionably under his
umbrella.

Chapter 12


(Uh-oh.. That's weird.
How did she know where
I live?)
She had rushed away so
quickly, she was already
out of earshot.

I thought it over while I
was in the bath...
I thought about it while I
was eating dinner...
But I couldn't figure out
how Ellen knew where
I lived.
(Well, I guess it doesn't
matter. It's not like
I need to keep it a secret
from her. In fact, it's a
good thing she knows where
my apartment is...
Well, there's no point in
puzzling over it any more.
I'll put it to one side
and concentrate on
finishing that book.)
So I got on with reading
'Fairy and Me'.

- FAIRY AND ME-

Chapter 12


He didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything.
We walked along in silence.
(Hmm, this isn't getting
us anywhere. I'd better
say something...
I know! I'll talk about
the puppy I took home that
day.)
So I said,
"You know, this reminds
me...
and started telling him
how I took the puppy home.

We walked along, talking
about that (although I
did most of the talking),
and then a short while
later, I saw the apartment
building where he lived.
(Oh no, we got here
already...)

Chapter 13

RRRRRRRinngggggg...
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRinnggg....
Rrp!
I switched off the alarm
clock.
(Oh,no....morning already.
Another day to get
through....
I'd only managed to read
about two-thirds of 'Fairy
and Me' before going to
bed last night. I would
finish the rest after
school today....)

The chimes went, followed
by the usual announcement
that classes were over for
the day. I decided to go
over to the library.

I was in the library, but
there was no sign of
Ellen.  Another late-
running End-of-Day Meeting?
Anyway, I had 'Fairy and
Me' to read, so I wouldn't
be bored.

Chapter 13



"Oh, here we are.
I'll say goodbye, then.
And I hope your wish comes

And with that, I ran off
home.

That night, I felt so
happy and excited...
I couldn't sleep a wink.
(Which meant I was sleepy
next day in class, and
got kept back after class
by the teacher.)
So, after being chewed out
for about half an hour,
I got away to the library.
That guy was there, reading
a book.
(There he is again, today,
lost in a book.  I'll see
if I can get a bit nearer
to him...)
Just like the day before,
I walked up until I was
standing right beside
him.

Chapter 14

Blablabla...........
I read further and further
through 'Fairy and Me'....
(Finished!)
Absent mindedly, I had a
good stretch.
"Er...
have you finished it?"
Startled, I made no reply.
When I turned round
surprised to hear a voice
just behind me, who should
I see but Ellen..
I still couldn't muster
a reply.
"Have you finished reading
it?", she repeated.
When I nodded, she said,
"What did you think? Did
you find it interesting?"
I nodded again.
"So...what was your wish?"

- FAIRY AND ME -

After a while, he closed
the book and had a stretch.
(Aha, has he finished
reading 'Fairy and Me'?)
"Er, have you finished
reading it?", I asked.
Startled, he said nothing.
(Oh dear, I always seem
to make him jump...)
"Sorry.  I didn't mean to
make you jump. Er, have
you finished reading it?"
He nodded.
"What did you think? Did
you find it interesting?"
He nodded again.
(I wonder what he wished
for. If he says he wished
he could meet a cute girl,
I could say "Well how
about me?"...So I'd better
take the plunge and ask
him...)
"So...what was your wish?"

"So...what was your
wish?", she asked.
(What do I do now? Should
I go ahead and tell her?
now's my chance to ask
her for a date....but
what if she turns me down
..oh no....ah, what the
hell, I'll ask her and get
it over with.)
"I wished I was going out
with you!
"What?"
Ellen blushed scarlet.
"I want you to go out with
me!"
I was going to repeat it
once more just in case,
when she said,
"OK!
I'm glad your wish is
going to come true!"
(YESSSS!)

"I want you to go out with
me!"
(He just said it again
take a deep breath...good
now just calm down...
Oh, we both liked each
other all along.
I needn't have
worried, oh, thank
goodness.
Oh, right.  I have to
answer now.)
"OK!
I'm glad your wish is going
to come true!"
(Yay!)

THE TWO OF THEM REPRISE


And then...

And then the two who had
read this book to the end
each had their wish come
true.



The End


- FAIRY AND ME - REPRISE


This is the book the
characters have been
reading all through this
story.  So, what's it
about?  Let's take a
look...


Chapter 1


A fairy girl meets a human
boy.
This happens when the boy
is walking in the park.
Having just finished a
can of juice, he throws
the can towards the trash
bin, but misses, instead
hitting a flower blooming
by the side of the bin.
Then, unable to believe
his eyes, he sees
something underneath the
flower.
It appears to be a tiny
girl, about 10 centimeters
tall, with wings, looking
just like a fairy.
The can thrown by the boy
broke the flower that had
been the fairy's home.
The fairy is now homeless
and bewildered. Feeling
responsible for her plight,
the boy tells her she can
stay with him until she
finds a new home. And that
is how the boy and the
fairy end up living
together.


To be continued ...


- FAIRY AND ME - REPRISE


Chapter 2


One day, when the fairy is
playing around outdoors,
it suddenly starts
raining heavily. She flies
home to the boy's house
right away, but ends up
soaked to the skin...
The fairy gives a weeny
sneeze.
She's now running a
temperature, and takes to
her bed, while the boy
does everything he can to
nurse her back to health.
Possibly due to his
assiduous care, the next
day finds the fairy's
fever gone, and soon she's
flying around again, in
the best of health.


To be continued ...


- FAIRY AND ME - REPRISE


Chapter 3


The fairy is touched by the
way the boy looked after
her so caringly. However,
she also reminds herself
that she can never form
a lasting relationship
with a human.
Soon after these events,
a girl at the boy's school
tells him that she wants
to go out with him.
By chance, the fairy
happens to see this
interaction, and resolves
to move out of the boy's
house.


To be continued ...


- FAIRY AND ME - REPRISE


Chapter 4


When the boy comes home
later that day, expecting
the fairy to rush out and
greet him noisily as
usual, he is disappointed
that she is not there.
Assuming she has gone out
somewhere to play, he
does nothing about it.
But when night falls and
there is still no sign of
her, he starts to worry,
and goes out to look for
her.


To be continued ...


- FAIRY AND ME - REPRISE


Chapter 5


The boy looks everywhere
he can think of, but fails
to find her. Racking his
brains for possibilities,
he wonders if she has
found a new house, but
then discounts the
idea, telling himself that
if she had found a new
home, she would have let
him know.
He realises that although
she can be a nuisance,
she has come to occupy
a special place in his
heart.
Setting off again to look
for her, he goes to the
park where he first met
her. And there, beside
the trash can, he sees
a familiar sight...


The End


Tomorrow sees the start
of a new series of
'MECHABOT ULTROR'
Don't miss it!
