Yes, Mimori-san!! It is as you say! Rina: ... Seira: % Going to all this trouble for those two to be alone... % "Seira's Big Love-Love Plan!", yup! Manato: Um...Mimori-san? (Let's go! Let's go!) Rina: Ah! Wait! Don't leave me all alone! pg 94 Asuka: ...where'd everyone go. Meimi: ...looks like they left without us... But I guess they couldn't help the elevator leaving... Asuka: Wouldn't it have been better if you were the only one who got lost?! Meimi: I...I'm not saying that!! pg 95 Meimi: % Why...does it always end up like this? Seira: Oh...how pretty... I love fish. Manato: Re...really? Good... Seira: Sawatari-kun, what do you think of fish? Manato: H...huh? (Of fish?) Seira: Well, they have gills...so it's like they are living and breathing...so shouldn't they have feelings? pg 96 Seira: ? Manato: % Cute~~~~ Manato: All right! I, Sawatari, will master the thought of how breathing with gills is like people breathing, for Mimori-san's sake!! Seira: Oh, how wonderful! I'm looking forward to it. Arrow: Not sure if being so deep about it is good or not pg 97 Meimi: Hm? Asuka: Oh...nothing. pg 98 Asuka: ...Saint Tail...was really close to me, and we talked...last time. Meimi: I...I see. Meimi: % It wasn't a great talk either...but... Meimi: Why do you keep chasing after her, still so determined? Meimi: % He's always saying, "I'll definitely catch her!" and "She's % my rival!"... Asuka: It's "ideal". pg 99 Meimi: % Wha... Asuka: No, not really ideal, but...a feeling of, "I want to know this," maybe... Like what her real face looks like... ...stuff like that. (Let's go.) Meimi: % I'm so glad... % So glad it was dark... pg 100 Meimi: % But I still have to hide my identity. % It's just like I'm tricking Asuka Jr... Asuka: % She resembles her. % That time, it was too dark, so I couldn't really tell, but... % It wasn't how she looked, more like how she "felt"... % She resembles Haneoka...!! pg 101 Rina: ...Asuka!! Geez! Aren't you late! Asuka: Well, excuse me for looking at the fish... Rina: There's something that's sick over there! (Come on!!) OH! The White Dolphin! Asuka: (Don't pull me!!) pg 102 Seira: It looks almost as if he's talking with the dolphin, doesn't it. Meimi: Seira. ...yeah. Hiromi: Mana... ?: Owner!! pg 103 Man: That kid is hanging onto the dolphin's aquarium again!! Owner: That again...he's such an eyesore!! Seira: ...so the dolphin was your friend...! Hiromi: I call her "Mana". You know about Mana, sister? Seira: Yes, and I know you too. I saw you there. pg 104 Hiromi: The owner of that aquarium said that Mana was sick, so he'd treat her...he lied to me, and he took Mana out of the ocean. Mana was never sick!! He never planned to let her go from the beginning. He's calling Mana the "Pearl Dolphin" and saying she's very rare... Seira: ...I see. Hiromi: I've asked, "Take Mana back to the ocean!!" countless times, but... Seira: Then maybe the police... Hiromi: No, sister! Mana isn't my pet, she's my friend! I don't own her. So I can't go to the police... pg 105 Hiromi: The owner said I had to show proof that Mana and I are friends! I can't, you can't show it with words! Seira: Hiromi-kun, cheer up. I'm sure that God will grant you power...! Meimi: How DARE they!! Just you wait, Hiromi-kun!! Kaitou Saint Tail will take Mana back home! (Yeah!) Seira: But Meimi-chan... pg 106 Seira: It'll only work with Hiromi-kun, because she responds to his voice only... Meimi: Then why don't we show that to the owner! It's proof that they're friends, right!! Seira: But...Mana's been in shock ever since she got put into the aquarium. She's getting sick. It might not even work...to get her out of the aquarium!! pg 107 Guy: How cold! Getting to go with all those girls. Guy: Why didn't you invite us, Asuka... Asuka: I couldn't help it! (It was Sawatari's treat.) Huh? ? pg 108 Note: Tonight, I'm going to Aqua Land tot steal the "Pearl Dolphin". --St. Tail Asuka: Dolphin... A DOLPHIN?!! Meimi: God, please forgive this, for I have to tricks or gimmicks. One! Two! pg 109 Saint Tail: Three! pg 110 Seira: Meimi-chan, Hiromi-kun will be at the aquarium today, too! Saint Tail: Okay! Seira: ...please grant us God's divine protection... Sign: Aquarium Owner: This is our "Pearl Dolphin", Asuka Jr. Please protect it form the kaitou. pg 111 Asuka: Righ... Hiromi: Lemme go! Give back Mana, you liars!! Owner: That kid again...! Excuse me. Are you still here? It's past closing time. Don't you have proof that you and the dolphin are friends? Hiromi: Mana will come when I call her! I'm not a liar!! Owner: Like I'd believe that. It's just training. If you don't quit it, I'll call the police! pg 112 Hiromi: It's true!! Please believe me! Owner: Shut up! If you're gonna say that, show the proof. If you can, I'll let the dolphin go back to the ocean... But.. It's silly, since the dolphin's inside the aquarium!! (Hahaha!!) Hiromi: You coward!! Guard: Asuka Jr., trouble!! On the surveillience room's monitor...! pg 113 Guard: It's Saint Tail!! Asuka: % That's the stage for the show...!! Saint Tail: Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Saint Tail's dolphin show! pg 114 Owner: What's the meaning of this?! Take care of the dolphin!! Saint Tail: It's... SHOWTIME!! pg 115 pg 116 Hiromi: Mana!! Owner: % The pool from the aquarium to the stage... Owner: Impossible! When did the gate to the pool open...!! Saint Tail: Owner!! Keep your promise to Hiromi-kun! One! Two! THREE!! Saint Tail: % Illusion!! pg 117 Guard: I'll rush ov- Asuka: Wait!! Saint Tail: % Mana....remember... pg 118 Saint Tail: % This is...the ocean...now.... Hiromi: ...Mana, jump!! pg 119 [nothing] pg 120 Hiromi: Mana...! Owner: I... I don't know anything about any promise! Get that dolphin back into the tank, quickly! Asuka: No, you did promise! Owner: ...! Asuka: ...I'm a witness to that! pg 121 Asuka: Is everything else this unsightly!! Owner: N...no...it can't... Asuka: W...wait, Saint Tail!! I said wait!! I want to tell you something different from the usual things...! No matter what I do I still can't catch you!! Saint Tail: % Wha...? pg 122 Saint Tail: W...why?! Saint Tail: % His "ideal" thing...? % If he said that...just once more...then I'd... Asuka: ....her. Saint Tail: What? Asuka: ...you... pg 123 Asuka: ...you look like her. I can't help thinking that you look like this girl...! Saint Tail: !!
