P.4 UMI Is he an enemy? FUU ..... well, he looks human, but then there was that old lady a while back, so we should be on guard. [ALCIONE: o...old lady....] HIKARU Oh ! P.5 [MOKONA: Puu Puu] MAN (Ferio) Wh... what is this thing...? [HIKARU, UMI, FUU: Awestruck] UMI Hikaru's sword... P.6 FUU It seems to have returned to the crystal in her hand. UMI Hikaru!! FUU I see. Since Hikaru-san lost her "will" to fight, the sword disappeared. UMI What do you mean, lost her "will" to fight...Wait! We still don't know whether he's an ally or an enemy! HIKARU It's okay. Look at Mokona... it looks so happy to see him. P.7 [MOKONA: Puu] HIKARU Thanks for helping us. MAN (Ferio) Who... are you guys? HIKARU I'm Hikaru Shidou. I'm from Tokyo. MAN (Ferio) ... Tokyo? What is that? HIKARU We were summoned by Princess Emerau... [mumble mumble] [mumble] Umi-cha... why did you...? FUU We do not know if that man is a good or a bad person yet. P.8 FUU If that person is affiliated with the so-called Zagato... and if he found out that we are from Another World, summoned to Cephiro by Princess Emeraude... We probably would be killed right here. HIKARU But Mokona.... UMI Mokona might be like that all the time. HIKARU But... he helped us... FUU We can still figure out if he helped us out of kindness. P.9 FUU I am Fuu Hououji. And this is... UMI ..Umi Ryuuzaki. FUU If you don't mind, could you please tell us your name...? MAN (Ferio) I'm Ferio. Why are you guys wandering around the Forest of Silence? P.10 FERIO You cannot use Magic or Spells here. Not even Magic Stocks (scrolls) or Magic Items. The only things you can use are your Wits and your Body. You can't get out alive unless you're skilled with your sword. UMI And why are you here? FERIO I'm on my way to Eterna. P.11 HIKARU, UMI, FUU To Eterna!? UMI Why are you going to Eterna? P.12-13 FERIO To get the Legendary Mineral Eskudo. P.14 HIKARU, UMI, FUU EH!? UMI (whisper) Wait a sec. Eskudo was the mineral we were supposed to get so Presea could make our weapons, right? HIKARU (whisper) Y... yeah. UMI (whisper) Then does that mean that that guy Ferio is our rival? HIKARU (whisper) Eh!? UMI Do you think they have a lot of Eskudo!? Our share won't be gone, right!? [HIKARU: I don't know] P.15 FERIO You guys are sure dressed funny. It looks like you have guards on, at least. FUU You were... Ferio, right? FERIO Yeah. FUU You were heading towards Eterna, correct? FERIO Yeah. FUU Do you know the way to get to Eterna? p.16 FERIO As I told you earlier, you can't use any form of magic in this Forest of Silence. Of course, Magic Compasses do no good. I know that you have to go through here to get to Eterna, but I have to find the Exit to the Forest by myself. So it's no use to ask me for directions. FUU I know where the Exit is. FERIO What!? P.17 UMI F... Fuu? [FUU: ] FERIO You say you know where the Exit is? Start talking in your sleep AFTER you fall asleep! FUU Oh? Was anyone asleep? FERIO Then it's true that you know where the Exit is...? P.18 FUU Yes, it's true. But that's the end of the story if you choose not to believe me. FERIO ... Where is the Exit? FUU Do you want to know? FERIO If you guys know. FUU I guess I could tell you. HIKARU I wonder what Fuu-chan is going to do... UMI I think I know what she's up to. FUU But I have a favor to ask. P.19 FERIO A favor? FUU Take us to the Exit with you. [UMI: fu HIKARU: Meow!?] HIKARU Fuu-chan!? UMI Very clever, Fuu. P.20 FUU Since there seems to be a lot of monsters in this forest, it seems to be very difficult for us to escape from this forest without any help. So, if you are willing to help us fend off the enemies in this Forest, we will guide you to the Exit. FERIO .. What if I say no? FUU It's no use to follow us. It looks like we won't be able to get out of this forest alive if we can't find any help. P.21 FUU ..and I'm sure that you would get lost. [UMI: HIKARU: Fuu-chan, you're so cool!] FERIO [Mmmmm.......] ...so I would be your bodyguard. FUU Everything works as a "give-and-take" situation. FERIO What's that? FUU A proverb of our native land. FERIO Native... then are you travelers? P.22 FERIO Where are you from? [FUU: ] You're not easy to bite... FUU I don't want to be too tempting of a morsel. FERIO Okay. [UMI: Yay!! Hikaru: doesn't understand what's going on, but going with the flow.] P.23 FERIO Another one!? P.24 UMI He looks like he'll be a good bodyguard. FUU It would be difficult for us to get out of this Forest by ourselves. But, his help increases the chances of us escaping safely. P.25 UMI But I wonder if Mokona really knows the way to Eterna... [MOKONA: Puu puu UMI: maybe not...] HIKARU You're amazing! It's so amazing that you can use such a big sword with one arm! Did you practice a lot!? FERIO [going along with Hikaru] Yeah... P.26 FERIO For Princess Emeraude... [HIKARU, UMI, FUU: Eh?] We have to start moving, it's useless to keep killing monsters here! Which way do we go!? [HIKARU, UMI, FUU: MOKONA: Puu] P.27 HIKARU The jewel on Mokona's forehead...! UMI It's glowing. P.28 FUU The direction that the light from Mokona's forehead is pointing to...That's where the Exit is. HIKARU It's a monster!! FERIO Run! P.29 UMI Why aren't you fighting that one!? FERIO Swords are no good against that monster.... you guys are wandering around here, and you don't even know that? You said you were travelers... but what are you really? If you're not soldiers or knights, why do you have weapons....? P.30 P.31 FERIO You guys aren't too bad... P.32 [MONSTER: Geeeeeeennn] FERIO It caught up with us! HIKARU Uugghh! P.33 HIKARU Its wounds healed...!? FERIO That's why I said that swords are no good! UMI Wa... wait! That thing is awfully powerful! P.34 FUU Arrows don't work either? FERIO You can't kill it with weapons. UMI In a forest where you can't use Magic, how are you supposed to kill it without using weapons!? FERIO .. You use your head. [MONSTER: Kueeeeeeeee] P.35 HIKARU Look out! UMI You're the one in danger, Hikaru! HIKARU But it's dangerous for Ferio to be by himself! FUU He... has something up his sleeve. HIKARU Ferio!! P.36 [MONSTER: Gee!?] [MONSTER: GEEEEEeeeeeeeee] P.37 HIKARU You did it!! UMI [My, he's strong. Very strong.] ..I'm glad we scouted Ferio. P.38 FERIO You idiot! Why are you just standing there!!? HIKARU Fuu-chan!! UMI Fuu!! P.39 HIKARU Fuu-chan... FUU ... thank you. You saved me... But... that was the first time that anyone has called me an idiot. FERIO You... you can make a cute smile. P.40 FERIO You looked kinda malicious a while back, but that was really cute. UMI Are you all right? HIKARU Fuu-chan!! FUU I'm all right. P.41 [FERIO: Did that monster die for real? MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU Eh!? The Exit!! P.42 UMI Yay!! FUU Let's hurry. UMI Now I can be the magical girl I always wanted to be!! [MOKONA: PPPUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!] P.43 HIKARU Mokona? ALCIONE <>!! {Ice rush shoot} UMI Kyyaaaaaaa!! P.44 FUU Umi-san!! P.45 HIKARU Umi-chan!! P.46 HIKARU Umi-chan!! Umi-chan!! ALCIONE Hohoho, I got tired of waiting for you...The Magic Knight to-bes from Another World. FERIO Another World!? P.47 HIKARU Umi-chan! Umi-chan!! FUU .. It's a deep wound... We have to get her to a doctor soon... P.48 ALCIONE Since I couldn't use magic in the Forest of Silence, I decided to wait here... for you to find the exit and come out of the forest unharmed. So I can pay you back for what you did to me earlier! P.49 HIKARU Fuu-chan... please look after Umi-chan... FUU Hikaru-san! HIKARU How dare you...Umi-chan... ALCIONE You seem to be able to use magic. But can you defeat me, Alcione, a student of Guru Clef and one of the sorcerers serving Princess Emeraude? P.50 HIKARU Of Princess Emeraude!? FUU .. a student of Clef-san... HIKARU Why are you trying to get in our way if you're one of the Princess's sorcerers? Haven't you heard from Clef that Cephiro is in danger!? ALCIONE Of course I know. But what does that have to do with anything? P.51 HIKARU Princess Emeraude is the Pillar that supports Cephiro, right!? And she was kidnapped by Sol Zagato, and.... FERIO So it is true. ALCIONE And I work for that Zagato. HIKARU Why do you work for him!? P.52 ALCIONE Because I love him. <>!! {Ice, spear, throw, shoot} FUU Hikaru-san!! Look out!! P.53 ALCIONE My, how nimble. But it won't work this time. P.54 ALCIONE I will cover you in blood like the young lady over there. HIKARU You hurt Umi-chan.... P.55 HIKARU Umi-chan, Fuu-chan, and I are fighting together to save Cephiro. They are my dearest Comrades and you... P.56 FUU Hikaru-san... P.57 HIKARU <>!! {"Honou no Ya"} P.58-59 P.60 ALCIONE <>!! {Shell, circle, defense, remove} [dammit.] .. Her magical power has increased since the last time... P.61 FUU The strength of her Will... Hikaru-san was angered by the injury of Umi-san; the resulting strength of her Will has caused a "power-up" in her magic. $(CLEF) $Magic is used by the Heart. $The power of the Will determines the strength/weakness, the $success/failure of all Magic. P.62 ALCIONE To be able to increase the magical powers so much in such a short amount of time... You really are a Magic Knight. But you still are not at a level with which you can defeat me. P.63 ALCIONE <>!! (Ice, flow, cut, blade) P.64 FERIO That sorcerer... she's serious this time. You, and that little one... neither of you are asking me for help. FUU I have made you promise to come with us to the exit from the Forest of Silence. It would be selfish of us to ask for any more than that. P.65 FUU This is... our battle. P.66 UMI ... Ummm.... FUU Umi-san! Are you all right!? UMI .. Hikaru... is she... FUU She is fighting that black-clad old lady right now. P.67 P.68 UMI .. It's too dangerous for Hikaru to fight by herself... FUU Don't move! If you move now, your wounds...!! UMI .. but... Hikaru.... I have to help Hikaru...! FUU Umi-san... [MOKONA: Puu] UMI Mokona... are you worried about us...? P.69 [MOKONA: Puu PUU] UMI Your real master... that conceited magician... I wish I had properly learned Magic from him... Then.... I would have been able to save Hikaru... Magic to save Hikaru... I want Magic... I want.... Magic!! P.70 FUU The jewel on Mokona-san's forehead....! FERIO It was red a moment ago, and now it's blue! P.71 FUU Umi-san!! FERIO What!? CLEF %.... Umi.... %Can you hear me, Umi....? UMI .. Clef...? CLEF %Yes. %I am talking directly to your heart through Mokona. %Can you hear me? UMI I hear you. P.72 CLEF %You wished to help Hikaru. %You wished to have Magic to help Hikaru. UMI I want to help... I want Magic to be able to help Hikaru!! CLEF %Can you feel it? %That Power in you... P.73 CLEF %...is a Power different from before...? UMI I feel it... Something is burning in my heart... A Phrase... A Phrase comes to mind... P.74 CLEF %That is your Magic. ALCIONE <>!! P.75 UMI <>!! {"Mizu no Ryuu"} P.76 ALCIONE Kyyaaaaaaaa!!! P.78 FUU Umi-san!!! HIKARU Umi-chan!! Umi-chan! Umi-chan!! UMI .. Hikaru... are you all right? HIKARU Yup! Because you helped me! I'm all right because you helped me with your Magic! UMI I'm glad... I just couldn't leave you alone, Hikaru... you're cute like a little sister... and so determined... P.79 UMI Fuu... are you okay, too...? FUU Yes. Your magic defeated the enemy, Umi-san. UMI I'm glad... I don't know what is going to happen to us... but we got called here to Cephiro together, and... HIKARU Umi-chan! Umi-chan! FUU .. Umi-san has helped us. She has used Magic... to help us. Now it is my turn... Light came out of Mokona-san's forehead, and Umi-san became able to use magic... P.80 FUU Mokona-san... please give me Magic. I want to help Umi-san. Please give me Magic so I can help her!! HIKARU Fuu-chan!! FERIO This time, the jewel turned green! CLEF %.... Fuu... FUU .. Are you Clef...? CLEF %Yes. FUU ...Please teach me the Magic. P.81 CLEF %You already have the Magic within you. FUU I see a Phrase coming from the bottom of my heart... CLEF %Yes, that is your Magic. You three acquired Magic through the Heart %that cared about your comrades. %Do not forget that here in Cephiro, the Power of the Will is the %strongest. %The Heart which Believes becomes true Power in Cephiro. P.82 FUU <> {"Iyashi no Kaze"} P.83 HIKARU Umi-chan!!! FUU The Heart which Believes... becomes true Power... P.84 HIKARU Umi-chan! Thank God... I'm so glad! It doesn't hurt anymore? Are your wounds fine now? UMI I'm all right, Hikaru. Thanks, Fuu. FUU Oh no, if we didn't have your magic, Umi-san, we all might have been killed by that old lady. Thank you, Umi-san. P.85 FUU Thank you too, Hikaru-san... for fighting against that old lady. HIKARU We are comrades. Although we just met, we are all alone in Cephiro. We are the dearest of comrades. If I was summoned to Cephiro by myself, I might have been lonely.. but I can try my best with you because you guys -- Umi-chan and Fuu-chan -- have been with me. P.86 HIKARU Just the thought that I have comrades makes me full of Power. P.87 HIKARU ..maybe I'm the only that feels that way... Maybe you're annoyed that I thought you were comrades... I mean, I haven't asked either of you, and I just assumed that we were... [UMI, FUU: ] UMI Hikaru, you're a "good girl" -- we don't see many like you these days. FUU Really. I am happy that I have such a cute comrade. P.88 [HIKARU: Meow] UMI When I thought about helping you, Hikaru, I was full of power. When I was thinking that I had to save an important comrade from the evil hands of that old lady, courage just welled up and those Words came out of my mouth naturally. HIKARU Umi-chan... UMI I don't know what's what, and it's unjust that the three of us have to go through all of this, but... P.89 UMI Let's do our best to go back to Tokyo, where we came from. I give my best regards for our future, Hikaru. FUU I give you my best regards also. HIKARU .. Fuu-chan... P.90 FERIO I thought something was funny about you. HIKARU Ferio... FERIO You guys were those Legendary Magic Knights. HIKARU We didn't mean to trick you... FERIO You were cautious because you didn't know if I was an ally or an enemy. FUU .. I'm sorry. P.91 FERIO You were wise in doing so. HIKARU, UMI, FUU EH?! FERIO Listening to your conversation from a while ago, it looks as though you guys have decided to save Princess Emeraude by joining forces. HIKARU Fuu-chan, Umi-chan. I want to tell Ferio the truth. We came from Tokyo. P.92 HIKARU The floor of the Tokyo Tower gave way suddenly, and when we came to, we were in Cephiro. And...We met a sorcerer named Clef, and he told us to save this World... Cephiro. FERIO You met Guru Clef, the top sorcerer in Cephiro? UMI That old man was a celebrity. FUU It seems that way. [CLEF: Who's the old man!?] FERIO Then, the one that summoned Hikaru's party... P.93 HIKARU Clef said it was Princess Emeraude. FERIO You were saying earlier that the one that kidnapped Princess Emeraude was Sol Zagato. HIKARU Clef told us that too. FERIO This finally makes sense. Why there are monsters roaming about Cephiro, a world that is supposed to be peaceful. Why there have been strange phenomena in a world where the weather is supposed to be eternal spring. P.94 UMI Now it's your turn. We told you who we are. Who are you? FERIO .. an acquaintance of Princess Emeraude. So the Legend was true... FUU What is this Legend? I noticed that both Clef-san and Presea-san mentioned it, but I had not gotten around to asking what it was. FERIO It's old folklore... a Legend that doesn't have a correct way of retelling and is told by word of mouth. P.95 FERIO When something happens to the Pillar of Cephiro, those who are summoned from Another World become the Legendary Magic Knights and fight using the Power of the Mashin. P.96 HIKARU That reminds me. Clef also said that we had to revive the Mashin to become the Magic Knights. UMI But... why do the Legendary Magic Knights have to be those from Another World? Aren't there a lot of strong people like you here in Cephiro? FERIO That was what I didn't understand either. So I was going to get Eskudo at Eterna to see if I could become the Legendary Knight. P.97 FUU By the way, Clef-san said that many sorcerers and fighters fought to save Princess Emeraude. FERIO Quite understandable if the enemy is Sol Zagato. There's no way you can win. UMI I... is...is he that powerful? FERIO Tremendously powerful. UMI I can sense an earthquake shattering our determination... FUU But if he is that powerful, wouldn't it be worse off to be from Another World? Since we don't understand what is common sense in Cephiro... I mean, monsters do not roam around the streets in the world that we come from. Although in games, the players are always the Heroes. UMI Yeah, the story of the Legendary Magic Knights would only exist inside games. FERIO I don't know about that, either. But it seems as though the Legend is starting to become reality. P.98 FERIO Princess Emeraude, the Pillar of Cephiro, has been abducted by Sol Zagato. The current condition of the Princess is unknown right now, but the Pillar-less Cephiro sees monsters even in the residential districts, and earthquakes and storms follow one after another. The Monsters of this world are the materializations of the Fears of the populace. The Pillar supports everything about this World with the Power of her Will. P.99 FERIO Princess Emeraude's Heart, which prays for a Cephiro where it is always peaceful and easy for people to live in, kept Cephiro as a bountiful, beautiful world free of abnormal weather. But now... the Princess's Heart seems to be in a condition where she cannot pray for the welfare of Cephiro. That is why the sky is stormy, and the land cries out. And so, the populace become enveloped in fear and terror, and that Negative power of the Heart creates those Monsters. P.100 HIKARU Then those monsters... FERIO .. are all manifestations of the Heart. $(Clef) $Willpower is stronger than anything else in this world. HIKARU .. The Heart...The Heart full of fear and terror...... manifest as those Monsters.... P.101 FUU The Mental Powers of humans create Peace, yet those same Powers also bring Destruction... UMI Cephiro... a truly mysterious place. FERIO The people are scared.Many sorcerers, knights, and fighters believed that the reason for this abnormality was that something happened to Princess Emeraude... and all tried to get to Princess's Castle to save her... but none came back. HIKARU Castle...? FUU Then those sorcerers also went into battle to seek a way to become the Legendary Magic Knights... like you? FERIO No... P.102 FERIO The only ones that know about the Legendary Magic Knights are only those who are close to Princess Emeraude, the Pillar of Cephiro. FUU Eh? Then... you are... FERIO [Ahahaha--] But the fact that Princess Emeraude summoned the Legendary Magic Knights from Another World implies that only those from Another World can become the Legendary Magic Knights. [Hmmmmm.....] HIKARU The jewel on Mokona's forehead... UMI ..is glowing red, like usual. P.103 [MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU ...it's showing us the way to the Legendary Spring of Eterna. Ferio! FERIO The promise was only until the Exit to the Forest of Silence. P.104 FUU This... FERIO My gift to you. FUU But I don't have anything to give you... P.105 [UMI: WHAT---!!?] FERIO I got my reward. We shall meet again soon. P.106 FERIO The Legendary Magic Knights. UMI Who was he? He looked so dignified... like a prince... [What a surprise.] ..um, Fuu! What's wrong... Fuu! P.107 FUU N..n..n..n..n.. nothing's wrong. UMI You're all red, Fuu. FUU E.. e... eh...!? UMI Fuu... you... [MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU Mokona's telling us to get going. FUU L.. let's go, Hikaru-san, Umi-san. HIKARU Fuu-chan, we're not going that way. [This way.] P.108 ALCIONE Zagato... my lord... Za... gato... I... I am... sorry... I did not realize that the Magic Knights had so much power... but it was because I was unprepared for such an attack... This time... P.109 ALCIONE Zagato... My beloved Zagato... ZAGATO Get out of my sight. ALCIONE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! P.110 ALCIONE Help! Zagato.... Please help! MINIONS So shameful...Yes, to lose to children like that...As the Legend goes, the Magic Knights fight to save Cephiro. P.111 MINION (Ascot) Hey, Zagato. Let me go. I want to play with those ladies. ZAGATO Very well... Ascot. P.112 ASCOT I'm on my way. UMI Is this really a materialization of insecurity? P.113 HIKARU .. and I feel something material when I defeat them, too... [MOKONA: Puu puu] Mokona says it's right up ahead! P.114 UMI Wait... Where in this place is there a Spring? FUU .. I do not see any bodies of water in the area. [MOKONA: Puu Mokona is feeling that he has done something really good.] UMI MOKONA---!!! P.115 UMI You DID help me when we fought that old lady. If Mokona wasn't there, Clef wouldn't have been able to teach us Magic. But, this is different from that! We are now determined to fight! So we want to get to the Legendary Spring of Eterna! Who told you to guide us to a meadow!? To a place where you feel like having a picnic... [Ooooohhhhh!!] FUU My, this is a good place to have lunch. [MOKONA: Puu puu] UMI There isn't a Spring here! HIKARU .. Wait. P.116 FUU What is the matter, Hikaru-san? HIKARU What is that Line? UMI Line? [A Line, no matter how you look at it.] FUU It is a Line. [Unmistakably, a Line.] UMI What is this? FUU ..I do not understand this... there is only a Line... P.117 [MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU Ah! Wait, Mokona! UMI Why is there a Line in a place like this? FUU Well, Cephiro is a strange place. UMI Strange is okay, but where is the Legendary Spring of Eterna!? HIKARU AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! UMI What's wrong, Hikaru HIKARU Umi-chan, Fuu-chan... Look! P.118-119 UMI AAAAAAAAAAAAA! A Spring!? This is the Legendary Spring of Eterna!? P.120 UMI But there wasn't anything there before...! HIKARU It's that Line. UMI What? HIKARU This Spring looks like a Line unless you look at it from above it. FUU I see. It is two-dimensional... in other words, a flat Spring. P.121 [MOKONA: Puu puu] UMI .. So. Where in this Spring is this Eskudo stuff? I see the Spring, but I don't see anything that looks like a metal ore. HIKARU .. I think it's in here... UMI EH!? P.122 UMI How absurd... FUU Really... Cephiro is a place full of marvelous things. UMI Marvelous just doesn't cut it! We have to go get the legendary mineral Eskudo from this weird spring Eterna! From this spring that has no depth! FUU It's not the Weird Spring. It is the Legendary Spring. UMI A spring that looks like a line when you look at it from the side -- calling it the Weird Spring of Eterna is sufficient! That's it! From now on, you are the Weird Spring of Eterna! P.123 FUU Umi-san... there might be a problem in the future if we change the name that Cephiro's people have gotten accustomed to... HIKARU Waaaa UMI What!? Hikaru! FUU Hikaru-san! HIKARU Mokona!? Mokona!! P.124 UMI He disappeared... HIKARU Mokona! [Aaaarrrrggghhhhh] Mokona! FUU .. It looks as though the spring is in here. UMI But we don't know how deep it is... how are we going to breathe under water? [HIKARU: Waaaa waaaa] FUU I don't know... I guess we'll find out when we go in. [UMI: So the thread of bad luck continues...] HIKARU I'm going in. UMI Hikaru... HIKARU I think Mokona is telling us that Eskudo, the Legendary Mineral, is in here. I decided to become a Magic Knight, so I have to go get Eskudo. P.125 UMI .. I guess so. FUU Let's go. It's useless to be standing here. HIKARU I don't know what's going to happen. But I'm sure that the three of us together can do whatever any of us alone can't do! Let's keep at it! P.126 [HIKARU: ] HIKARU, UMI, FUU Ready... P.127 HIKARU .. it... hurts... Umi-chan... Fuu-chan... P.128 HIKARU Umi-chan! Fuu-chan! %What...!? P.129 HIKARU Hikari?!...Why!? P.130 UMI Hikaru! Fuu! Where are you!? Did I get separated from them...? P.131 UMI .. Dad...... Mom... P.132 FUU .. I wonder... is this inside the spring...? [as Umi-san named it, the Weird Spring of Eterna...] P.133 FUU %Myself!? P.134 HIKARU .. You're Hikari... right? Why are you here...? Hikari!? What's wrong, Hikari!? P.135 [DOG: GRRRRRR] HIKARU Hikari! It's me! Hikaru! Can't you hear me!? P.136 [HIKARI: GRRR] HIKARU .. Hikari... [HIKARI: Rrrrrr] P.137 UMI Dad... Mom... why are you here!? Is this a dream!? This was inside Eterna, in Cephiro... or was the whole visit to Cephiro a dream!? P.138 UMI Kyaaaaa! .. this pain... is not a dream... P.139 FUU %...it is not a mirror. P.140 FUU As Umi-san said, it's a "thread of bad luck". P.141 FUU .. The one that got hit was the one over there...... then why... P.142 FUU %... If I get hurt, she also gets hurt... %That means... that is... %Myself...? HIKARU Stop, Hikari! Why!? We've been together since we were little... when I was happy, when I was sad... You were always there with me... P.143 HIKARU I always told you that I loved you... and now this? Why!? Hikari! P.144 HIKARU Hikari... Why...? You don't like me anymore....? UMI Dad! Mom! Stop!! Kyaa... P.145 UMI <>!! Dad! Mom!! P.146 UMI %It's no use... %I can't attack... %Dad or Mom...!! FUU If I attack... the opponent... I also get wounded... If I get wounded, the opponent also gets wounded... P.147 FUU I am attacking myself... What should I do... if all the attacks I make become my own damage...? And... my opponent seems to have kept her composure... P.148 %Magic Knights!! HIKARU What!? UMI Who? FUU That voice... I wonder who... P.149 %Girls from Another World... HIKARU .. that voice... the same as the one... that I heard in Tokyo Tower... UMI .. by any chance... the one that summoned us to Cephiro... FUU Princess Emeraude...? EMERAUDE %I am... Emeraude of Cephiro... %Magic Knights, you must not let sorrow control your heart. P.150 HIKARU Princess Emeraude! Where are you!? EMERAUDE %Girls from Another World... Hold your hearts strong... and think... %Are the things before you something Valuable to you? HIKARU He's my best friend! He was always beside me when I was crying! He worried about my wounds when I fell over! He can't speak human language, but we understand each other by our Hearts -- he's a valuable friend!! UMI They're my parents! Of course they're important to me! When I grow up and start working, I am going to work hard and return everything that Dad and Mom used to raise me to adulthood! A child is like a parent's piggy bank! P.151 UMI I plan to remember and store in my heart all the love that my parents gave me, as well as all the money they spent on my education and nutrition, and return them the favor little by little! I can't possibly fight with Dad or Mom when I haven't even started paying them back!! FUU I value myself. If something happened to me, I would make Father, Mother, Sister... everyone who loves me very unhappy. I am still a child, and thus cannot do anything to all the people that love me. So being happy is the one thing that I can do well for all of those people. So I am important to me. EMERAUDE %Then think. %Would that Valuable Thing ever hurt you? P.152 EMERAUDE %Would your Valuable Things wish to see you wounded, in pain? %Please think hard... %And the Legendary Mineral of Eskudo... UMI She disappeared... P.153 HIKARU It's not him... Hikari wouldn't do this... Hikari is always kind, and always protected me. This is not Hikari!! UMI Dad or Mom... wouldn't shoot shockwaves at me! FUU I will heal these wounds with a healing spell later. HIKARU You dared to attack in the shape of Hikari! UMI Don't try to screw up a happy family! FUU If something happened to me, my family would get worried! P.154-155 HIKARU <>!! {"Akai Inazuma"} UMI <>!! {"Aoi Tatsumaki"} FUU <>!! {"Midori no Shippuu"} P.156 P.157 HIKARU What!? UMI By any chance... FUU This is... P.158 HIKARU The Legendary Mineral... Eskudo. P.159 HIKARU, UMI, FUU The armor that Clef gave us changed...!? P.160 HIKARU The guard that Clef gave me... UMI .. it seems a little more distinguished... FUU This guard is an Evolutionary Guard... P.161 P.162 [MOKONA: Puu puu puu puu] HIKARU Ah! Mokona! [We're floating, we're floating...] P.163 PRESEA Don't worry. HIKARU Presea!! UMI Why are you here? FUU It's nice to be happy about our reunion, but... if we don't do something fast, we will fall into the Weird Spring of Eterna, as Umi-san named it. [Wa wa wa wa...] PRESEA You're fine. The fact that you can stand on top of Eterna means that you found Eskudo. P.164 HIKARU Oh yeah! Where did the Eskudo go!? PRESEA Look above you. Come down, Legendary Magic Knights. I, Presea, the supreme Pharle of Cephiro, will make you the ultimate weapons with that Eskudo. P.165 PRESEA .. A weapon suitable for the Magic Knights. HIKARU P.. Presea!? [wawawa] P.166 P.167 HIKARU Presea... it's so beautiful... UMI So this is how they make weapons... FUU It is an intriguing sight. P.168 HIKARU, UMI, FUU These swords are... P.169 PRESEA Those are... the weapons of the Magic Knights. P.171 PRESEA Made for you, usable only by you... one-of-a-kind weapons. P.172 HIKARU The weapons that we borrowed from Presea... UMI They left by themselves. PRESEA It's because those weapons made with Eskudo are more suitable for you. P.173 HIKARU Presea!! Presea! Are you okay!? PRESEA I... am... fine... I just used... a little too much of my Heart... HIKARU Are you sure!? Are you really okay!? P.174 UMI Thank you, Presea, for making such wonderful weapons. FUU Thank you very much. PRESEA You... those guards... UMI That's right! This armor suddenly changed! FUU When we got Eskudo in Eterna, the armor started shining, and changed to this shape. HIKARU You too, Fuu-chan!? UMI Hikaru -- you too!? PRESEA Those guards... are from Guru Clef? P.175 PRESEA .. Guru Clef equipped you with Evolutionary Guards -- like your Evolutionary Weapons, they will change as you grow. HIKARU Grow... UMI That reminds me. You said that Eskudo was the only mineral that makes Evolutionary Weapons in Cephiro... PRESEA Yes. Weapons made with Eskudo grow based on the strength of the Heart of the weapon's owner. Those are not the Final Forms of your weapons either. HIKARU This isn't what the real sword looks like...? PRESEA Yes. The strength of your Hearts will allow them to Grow. P.176-177 PRESEA The Heart determines everything in Cephiro. The quality of the weapons, the success of magic spells, and....... even the Future. P.178 PRESEA I made each of you a suitable weapon... because I have grown to like you. I want you to stay strong... so I made those weapons with that Heart. HIKARU Presea... Thank you. PRESEA Hikaru. HIKARU What? PRESEA Umi, Fuu. Don't... die. P.179 HIKARU, UMI, FUU Okay! [MOKONA: Puu] P.180 HIKARU Waaaaaa!! [MOKONA: Puu puu] UMI I wonder if he wants us on that thing... FUU Oh, Umi-san, you understand what Mokona-san is saying. [How terrific!] UMI If he is telling us to eat this, even an even-tempered person like myself would get slightly excited. [MOKONA: Puu puu!!] HIKARU He's telling us to get on! PRESEA Go, Magic Knights. To become Magic Knights, you must revive the Mashin. And, the weapons that you hold are also Keys to reviving the Mashin. P.181 HIKARU A Key... to revive the Mashin... FUU I wonder what these Mashin are... PRESEA Mokona will lead you to the place where the Mashin are kept. UMI This thing's our navigator... again? [MOKONA: Puu puu Leave it to me!] P.182 HIKARU It disappeared into the ornament again... FUU It's convenient that we don't have to carry it around. UMI Such a thing would be convenient at school... to be able to put your bag, your PE clothes, and everything else in here... FUU But we have to get back to Tokyo before we start going to school again. PRESEA Be on your way, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu. HIKARU But I'm still worried about you, Presea. PRESEA I'm fine. Now, be on your way. HIKARU But...! PRESEA The food that you gave me, Hikaru, was delicious! HIKARU Really!? P.183 [HIKARU: I think I had one more around here...] PRESEA I want another one when you come back. HIKARU Okay! We'll come back no matter what! We'll come back with the weapons you made us all grown up. PRESEA I'll be waiting. P.184 HIKARU Presea, Thank you! UMI Thank you, Presea. FUU Thank you very much. UMI When I get back, I'll bake you a cake. I'm good at it. PRESEA What's a cake? UMI It's food. FUU Would there be ingredients to make cake in Cephiro? UMI I'll do something with my Heart! PRESEA I'll be looking forward to it. HIKARU Presea, thank you very, VERY much! P.185 PRESEA Mokona, take care of those three! [MOKONA: Puuuuuuuu!] %Princess Emeraude... please continue to protect those girls from another %world... P.186 PRESEA %Hikaru... Umi... Fuu... Please return... UMI Well, where are we going now, Mokona? [MOKONA: Puu puu] MOKONA---!!! [MOKONA: Puu puu] No more "Puu puu"s! Where are we going now!? [Mokona has blank facial expression] You---!! FUU Umi-san, your blood pressure will rise if you get too excited. Mokona-san knew the way to the Forest of Silence, and this vehicle came out of the jewel on Mokona-san's forehead, and we were able to talk to Clef-san through Mokona-san. P.187 FUU So Mokona-san must be thinking about a lot of things too. UMI This thing... thinking about things...? What part of this face looks like it's thinking!? FUU Oh? It has an expression of deep thought. [MOKONA: Puu puu UMI: ] HIKARU Oh! UMI What, Hikaru? HIKARU This scenery... FUU What about the scenery? HIKARU Look carefully. This is the same thing we saw when we first came to Cephiro. The Ocean. The mountain that floats in the sky. And... a volcano. P.188 UMI I don't remember clearly because of the surprise from when the floor of the Tokyo Tower gave way... but it is the same scenery. HIKARU This is Cephiro... It's beautiful. UMI What!? HIKARU Waaaaaaaaa UMI It's falling! It's falling at a tremendous speed! FUU At this rate, it looks like we'll be crashing on the surface of the ocean. UMI Mokona--! Do something! [MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU We're going to crash! P.189 UMI We're going underwater again!? I had enough water from the Weird Spring of Eterna! FUU We are now surrounded by a bubble. UMI Mokona! Do this first if you knew how! Maybe this thing knew it, and is enjoying watching us get upset... Look! P.190 FUU It seems to be... a Shrine. HIKARU Umi-chan, what's going on!? UMI I don't know...! P.191 HIKARU Where are we...? [There's air here! FUU: It's like an air curtain.] UMI The Mashin is here in the Sea Shrine. HIKARU Umi-chan, how do you know!? FUU Umi-san! P.192 HIKARU Is that.... a dragon...? P.193 FUU Umi-san! Look out! [MOKONA: Puu!] Mokona-san... P.194-195 HIKARU The dragon came out! FUU Mokona-san, is Umi-san all right? [MOKONA: Puu] DRAGON The name... is Selece. P.196 SELECE The Legendary Mashin that only the legendary Magic Knight can touch. HIKARU Mashin!? Did they mean a dragon when they said Mashin!? P.197 ASCOT Tee-hee. I got tired of waiting because you took so long. HIKARU Who are you!? A child...? ASCOT Hello, ladies. My name is Ascot. I have been asked by Zagato to kill you. [Kya] HIKARU What!? --To next stage-- (Pirated) CLAMP Newspaper for Magic Knight RayEarth vol. 2 p.198 SD Umi Did you all like Magic Knight RayEarth volume 2? SD Fuu Umi-san had trouble, being attacked by that "weird old lady" in the beginning... [Hikaru: fuming] SD Umi Well, when you're Young, you have a lot of hardships. [See, we're young, right?] SD Fuu I guess so. I wonder if this is also an obstacle to overcome to become the Magic Knight. [We are still learning.] SD Hikaru I wonder how many enemies like that old lady there are left... P.199 SD Hikaru But it wasn't all enemies! We also met reliable allies!! SD Umi [Fuu? You're blushing.] I wonder who that Ferio guy was... his flamboyance matched him -- he seemed like a prince. SD Hikaru The new enemy-ish kid Ascot... I wonder what's going to happen to us now? [If you aren't following along in Nakayoshi, look forward to vol. 3.] SD Fuu Changing the subject, have you seen the TV Anime of Magic Knight RayEarth yet? SD Umi By the time this comic {tankoubon} comes out, it will be on the air. P.200 SD Hikaru Cheer for us when we move and talk energetically in the TV screen! [You can listen to <>, too! The two Mokona's: Puu] SD CLAMP It comes on every Monday night, 7:30pm, on the YTV/NTV networks!! [SD Hikaru: They're invading! SD Umi: argh] SD Mokona Apapa CLAMP is pleased to have created the designs for an anime-only character, Inova. Please check it out on your TV! SD Ookawa Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, as drawn by Ishida Atsuko, are very cute! SD Nekoi By the way, is everyone familiar with "computer communication" {e-mail}? [SD Fuu: Yes, I know.] SD Satsuki "Computer communication" is a system where one uses a personal computer or a word-processing typewriter and a modem to trade various information over the phone lines P.201 SD Satsuki CLAMP also does "computer communication". [All of us have ID's, too.] SD Nekoi One of those is called Nifty-Serve. SD Ookawa There is a forum for Kodansha, called KSHOP, on Nifty-Serve. SD Mokona Apapa This is an electronic store, where you can find information on various books printed by Kodansha, as well as buy books over the Net. SD Ookawa One corner of KSHOP is called "Hideki no oheya" {Hideki's Room}. This is the corner of Yamanouchi-san, who is the editor in charge of RayEarth. SD Mokona Apapa If you are on Nifty-Serve, please look at it sometime! SD Hikaru, Umi, Fuu WE are the main characters of Magic Knight RayEarth! Out, out!! [SD Mokona Apapa: Kyaa] SD Umi Well! Please look forward to our adventures in volume 3! SD Hikaru Ohh! [SD Emeraude: um... please come rescue me soon...] --To next stage-- Bonus stage 2 ***** Character Profiles. Right page top: Emeraude. The Pillar that supports Cephiro with the power of her Prayer. Cephiro reflects exactly what is going on within the Princess's Heart. Right now, she cannot pray for the peace and stability of Cephiro, so there are monsters creating confusion and wars all thoughout the land. Although younger than Clef, she is pretty old. Nevertheless, the Princess looks like a young girl. Right page bottom: Clef. (Madoushi / Guru) {note: Madoushi's are later called "Yil"s, and Clef has the title of "Guru" because he is the supreme Yil.} * Favorite thing: silence * Least favorite thing: rowdiness * Hobbies: going on walks, talking with Seijyus {spirit beasts, e.g. Fyula} A Madoushi that provides people with magical potential with magic and teaches the spells to them. He had promised Princess Emeraude to help lead those from another world to become the Magic Knights. He looks like a child, but is 745 years old. He is the supreme Yil (i.e. Guru), but he seems to have a short temper. Left page top: Presea (Soushi / Pharle) * Favorite thing: Bui-Teck (food found in Cephiro) * Least favorite thing: a messy room * Hobbies: torture A Pharle's job is to create weapons for all uses -- for battles and for ceremonies. Presea is the supreme Pharle, and she is the only one that can create weapons from the Legendary Mineral Eskudo. But, sometimes she does not listen to what others say well, and plays with her own imagination... that's the troubling thing about her. Left page bottom: Ferio * Favorite thing: to sleep * Least favorite thing: lack of sleep * Hobby: naps A mysterious shounen that appears at the Forest of Silence. (Although the actual age may be different from how old they appear to be in Cephiro.) He seems to be quite a swordsman, but there are many secrets about him as of now. He uses a sword that is about as big as his own height. ***** Mokona's Secret. Q.2 -- What are Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu doing about food in Cephiro? P.1 UMI Oh? What's wrong, Hikaru? HIKARU I'm hungry... [out of energy] FUU Come to think of it... we haven't eaten anything since this morning. UMI If only we had ingredients... But then, I can only make confectioneries. HIKARU Confectioneries!? Umi-chan, can you make ice cream, too!? [I love ice cream!] P.2 FUU How do you do taste tests for confectioneries if you yourself do not like sweet food, Umi-san? UMI I get my parents or my classmates to eat them, and ask them later what they thought. [HIKARU: I'm so hungry, I'm sad.] HIKARU, FUU %...does that mean, a guinea pig? FUU If I could go back to Tokyo now, I would like to eat "tessa". UMI What's "tessa"? FUU The sashimi of fugu {blowfish}. UMI Fuu... you have old-fashioned tastes. FUU yes? [I also like ika-no-shiokara {salt-pickled squid} and mozuku {?}.] UMI That reminds me... what does Mokona like? P. 3 UMI What does Mokona eat? I haven't seen him eat anything. FUU Maybe he is eating when we don't realize it. While we're not looking... Like this... Eating like this... [fufufu HIKARU: no...] UMI Scary. It's too scary. HIKARU Let's ask Clef!! [Mokona: What--?] CLEF What? Food? Your share will come out of the jewel on Mokona's forehead. What? Food for Mokona? P.4 CLEF Mokona doesn't eat anything. [HIKARU, UMI, FUU: Eehhhh!?] [MOKONA: Puu puu] UMI So pitiful! Not being able to eat is like not knowing half of life's pleasures!!! HIKARU Thanks, Mokona. It's really good. FUU Thank you very much. [But, Mokona is really happy because he's getting a hug.] --To next stage-- --astcqifhguchuoobmgycmeqkctqqks--
