Marron : Eh? Friend : You're always happy, but when you go home, you're always a little sad. But lately, you're not. Marron : You think....? [a little girl(Rie) bumps into Marron] Marron : Sorry! Are you okay!? Oh, sorry, sorry! Does it hurt anywhere? Rie : No.. Boy1 : Rie's weapon's on the ground! Boy2 : Be careful! If you touch it, you'll get hurt! Marron : [thinks] weapon!? Rie : It's not! It's a toy that daddy made! Boys : Lets break it! Rie : Don't --!! [Marron picks up the 'toy' with her gymnastic ribbon] Boys : Waa, run away! Marron : Aren't you embarrassed? Ganging up and picking on one girl? Here you go. That's a cute t-o-y. Bye bye! (at the apartment mailboxes, Marron is checking hers) Marron : [thinks] The letter from my parents which I have waited for, for years, still hasn't come, but lately I'm a little cheerier and a little happier. Unfortunately, that happiness comes from the silly notes Chiaki writes. Marron : [reads aloud] hmm --? What--? Chiaki and Marron : I want to eat gratin!? Marron : .....what's this? 'I want to eat gratin'? (Tanemura's note : Chiaki came running because he saw Marron) Chiaki : Please make it -- I'm living by myself and I'm hungry... Miyako : Chi--a--ki--! (Tanemura's note : Miyako came running because she saw Chiaki) Miyako : Don't stick together!!! Miyako : I'LL make a delicious gratin! Chiaki : Do you want to come and eat too, Marron? Marron : Who wants to eat! [thinks] bu--t I really want to eat! I'm so stubborn! I'm so stubborn! .... but it might be best if I don't go.... Miyako's house is lively and fun, but when I get back to mine, I always feel lonely.... oh but it's gratin! Chiaki : I don't want to go if Marron won't go Miyako : No --! Chiaki : Sorry -- [Miyako glares] [Marron flinches] [Miyako jumps with a huge mallet] Marron : I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!! [thinks] Maybe....he knew how much I wanted to go... that's why he made me come.... Yeah right, that loose living guy wouldn't do that... [Marron's rosary falls out of her bag] Marron : [thinks] Uh oh! Jeanne's rosary! I'll be found out! [Maron picks up the crucifix] [Image] Chiaki : What a pretty crucifix Miyako : Why are you carrying around such a thing? Marron : [thinks] Phew, I haven't been found out! [aloud] It's my charm.... it gives me strength....and if I try hard, it will grant my wishes too Marron : I'll leave my bag.. Miyako : Hurry up okay? Chiaki : ...... (All three open their doors ....) Access holds up a sign saying - Job! Finn holds up a sign saying - Job! Miyako's dad holds up a sign with Jeanne and Sinbad's arrival notices. (The three of them close their doors and sigh lovingly) Marron : Sorry.... I just remembered I have to do something... Chiaki : Really Marron? Me too... Miyako : Me too.... [the three laugh lightly] (I'll just call Rie's father, father) Father : Hm? Jeanne is coming to steal my painting.... how interesting.. Miyako : How is it interesting? Minazuki : Yes! Sinbad is targeting it too! Miyako : What are you doing here, class rep!? Minazuki : I just told you the other day that I'd capture Sinbad! Miyako's dad : Miyako chan..... don't argue... Father : It doesn't matter who may come... my specialty is making mechanism toys..... like so.. [Miyako and Minazuki fall down a chute] Father : I have these traps places everywhere Miyako : Can you tell us before you test them! Rie : Daddy! You're home? Guess what daddy, today I met a girl and she said that toy you made was cute! I thought daddy...... [Rie is cut short by her dad] Father : Rie, you're too loud. Do you want to be dropped in here too? Miyako : Aaaaah! It's going to be 9 o'clock! Jeanne : Reincarnated by God to seal evil..... Mysterious Thief Jeanne! Sent by God, I have been called! Father : You've come, Jeanne! Jeanne : What are you doing? Huh? Huh? Watcha doin? [Jeanne is standing on Miyako's head] Miyako : *laugh* Get off, you! Jeanne : Close the lid! Close the lid! Miyako : Don't--! Father : Take this! [shoots balls] Jeanne : Yea--!! Jeanne chan is invincible --!! I should seal the evil spirit quickly Father (in evil spirit voice): It's impossible for you to seal me... my magical power has grown stronger.... if you're going to be caught up in the moment, it'll be now! Rie : Daddy, no--!! Jeanne : [thinks] eh? That girl I met earlier today.... is it her father? He made toys to hurt her because of the evil spirit? Father : I told you, you were being too loud! Finn : Jeanne! Be careful! This evil spirit is pretty ferocious! Rie : [starts to sob] ..aa.. I'm sorry, I'm sorry Jeanne... daddy is really very kind..... so please don't get angry..... Jeanne : [thinks] her fingers have cuts all over...probably from that toy... but still, she treasures it.. Jeanne : It's okay Rie chan.... I'll bring back your father, I promise! Please believe in me! [Rie nods] Jeanne : Finn! Take her inside the house! Finn : Okay! Jeanne : Okay, this'll be the end of you! Father : Is it? [Jeanne falls down a chute] Sinbad : Jeanne! Father : ....ug... Sinbad : He should be going to energize his power.... he'll be going to the painting... follow him Acess! Acess : Yo! Jeanne : Sinbad? Sinbad : Are you all right? Jeanne : I'm fine... is what I want to say, but I think I twisted my ankle a little bit... I'm such a clutz... [contemplates a little] hey, Shin chan -- Sinbad : Don't call me that... Jeanne : Can you help me get out of here? Sinbad : Are you asking your rival for a favour? Jeanne : Of course, I don't mean for nothing! I'll do one thing, whatever you want me to do! Sinbad : Wha-- Jeanne : The evil spirit is getting more ferocious.....if you were watching, you saw it too. If we don't hurry up, the people aroung here will be in danger... and... I made a promise to the little girl...I have to protect her.... Sinbad : If you're going to keep the promise with the little girl, then keep your promise with me Jeanne : Of course! Finn : Ah! [thinks] I found the painting! [aloud] hm? Acess.... Jeanne : Stop right there! Father : What? Why are Jeanne and Sinbad both....!? Sinbad : Is it too far to aim from here, Jeanne? Jeanne : Don't belittle me. There's nothing I can't do! Sinbad : Very well then! Jeanne : In the name of God, may the darkness which is born as evil be sealed here! Check mate! [Image] Father : ...Rie.. What's the matter? Why are you crying? I'll make you a new toy, so cheer up. Rie, you love the toys daddy makes for you, don't you? Rie : Yes! Because it's just like playing with you daddy! Jeanne : Tonight, I have stolen the deception of beauty! Miyako : At last, I got out... The painting's changed again!!! Father : Ah yes, but this painting is much nicer than the one before... Minazuki : Hasn't that father's attitude changed suddenly? Miyako : hmm...come to think of it, it's always like that after Jeanne steals the beauty from the paintings... [on the rooftop] Jeanne : All right, I'll carry out my promise... what do you want me to do? Sinbad : Can it really be anything? Jeanne : Don't make me say it so many times! You're so strange!.... you really are strange.... you get in my way, yet you protect me...what is your intention?........... eh? [Sinbad kisses Jeanne] Sinbad : I want you to stop being a mysterious thief...... END OF CHAPTER 4
