Prologue

Mana: Walking through the forest is so refreshing.

Cheryl: Why are you being so laid back?!

Rikka: Yeah, we're here to search for leads on the Princess.

Lance: There it is!

Alice: That's right.
This is the Sculpture Gallery In the Forest, where they've gathered famous sculptures from around the world.{Gallery sounds more natural to me here than "museum", especially since it's a much more casual setting than the "everything behind class or other barricades" approach that's strongly associated with "museum". --K}

Makoto: The Princess loves sculptures, too.

Davi: So maybe she stopped by here to take a look, then.

Makoto: But... Whenever she looked at a certain sculpture, she always had a sad look in her eyes for some reason.

Mana: Anyway, let's spend today looking around this this gallery.

Rikka + Alice: Yeah.

Makoto: Perhaps...
It's possible that we may find the fourth Royal Crystal here.
That's my hunch at least.

Regina: Hiii!

All 4 Girls: Regina!

Part 1

Title: A Shock! The Stolen Crystal!

Mana: Why are {\i1}you{\i0} here, Regina?

Regina: Listen, Mana, I'm gonna be a good girl now.
I wanna be true friends with you.

Alice: It's great that you want to be friends, but are you truly sorry for what you've been doing lately?

Regina: Lately?

Rikka: Making Selfishe and causing all sorts of trouble for people.

Regina: Of course I am!

Rikka: Really?

Regina: Totally.

Alice: Do you know what it means to "feel sorry" for what you've done?

Regina: Huh? Umm... Nope!

Mana: Well, I'll explain what it means later. But, Regina, if you want to be friends, it'll not just be with me, but with all of us.

Regina: Huh? All of you?

Mana: Exactly, all of us.

Regina: I-I'll try.

Rikka: {\i1}Huh? This girl...{\i0}

Alice: {\i1}She's changed a bit now...{\i0}

Mana: Yeah, that's the spirit!

Makoto: Mana.

Mana: Makopi?

Makoto: Don't say anything about our search for the Princess or the Royal Crystals, k?

Mana: Okay.

Regina: So what are you girls doing here?

Mana: Well, uh, umm...

Rikka: Of course we came to look at the sculptures.

Alice: Yeah, yeah. That's right.

Regina: Oh? Well then, there's a really amazing one over there.
Let's go see it together!

Mana: H-Hang on a sec, Regina! Stop!

Regina: What's wrong, Mana?

Mana: If we're going to go see it, let's all go together.

Regina: But I wanted it to just be the two of us, Mana.

Mana: Don't you want to be friends with everyone?

Regina: But, the ice cream I had with you the other day was really yummy.

Mana: So that's why you wanted it to be just the two of us, huh?
But I think just seems much more tasty, and much more fun, when there's five of us instead of just two, though.

Regina: Really?

Mana: Yeah, really.

Regina: I really want it to just be Mana and I, but I'll manage.

Rikka: You can't really get mad at her when she's so frank about it.

Alice: Are you alright?

Makoto: Alice... Yeah, I'm fine.

Makoto: {\i1}Something's calling out to me...{\i0}

Mana: Makopi?

Davi: Makoto?

Mana: What's up, Makopi?

Makoto: This statue...
It looks just like the Princess!

Mana + Rikka + Alice: Huh?

Regina: Princess?

Alice: Never mind.

Mana: Yeah, it's nothing.

Joe: Man, that's a splendid sculpture, isn't it?

Mana + Rikka + Alice: It's the guy who runs Solitaire!

Joe: Yo, good afternoon.

Ai-chan: Ai!

Rikka: Ai-chan's here too?

Regina: Your hat's funny!{Thank you for finally saying what everyone's been thinking, Regina. w --K}

Joe: And who might this lady be?

Regina: I'm Regina!

Joe: That's a beautiful name.
I hope you will remember me next time we meet.

Makoto: {\i1}Why is this guy here, of all places?{\i0}
{\i0}In front of the sculpture that resembles the Princess so well...{\i1}

Mana: So, why are you here?

Joe: This recently erected sculpture seems to have caught my fancy.
Or perhaps it is the statue that fancies me instead.

Regina: This guy's hilarious!

Mana: Come on now, Regina!

Makoto: No way! Do you know the model for this sculpture?

Joe: Huh? Oh, is it that time already?
I've got an important meeting to attend.
I'll leave Ai-chan in your capable hands.

Mana: Huh? Um, wait a sec...

Alice: And there he goes...

Rikka: I wonder what he had planned to do if we weren't here.

Ai-chan: Kewpie

Mana: Hi, Ai-chan!
Ah, why are you crying?

Regina: Let me handle this.

Raquel: It's that time again!

Cheryl: Let's use this Lovie!

Raquel: Yo! Raquel-roll!

Ai-chan: Kewpie...

Regina: She really cute when she's sleeping.

Rikka: {\i1}It's just like Mana said.{\i0}

Alice: {\i1}That smile of hers isn't faked.{\i0}

Regina: So, Mana, what do you think of that sculpture?

Mana: She's really pretty.

Regina: I love it too. Especially that gem on her chest.

Mana: Could that be a Royal Crystal?

Regina: Wazzat?

Lance: It's a very royal kind of crystal.

Regina: Ah, you're lying.
Thieves start out as liars, you know.

Rikka: You know your proverbs well, I see.

Mana: You see, the Royal Crystals are something very precious that we're looking for.

Regina: Then I'll give it to you as a gift!

Mana: W-Wait a sec...

Regina: Here you go, Mana!

Rikka: W-W-What do we do?!

Mana: Of course that won't work...

Gallery Director: What have you done?!

Mana: We're really sorry!

Rikka + Alice + Makoto: We're really sorry!

Mana: We feel really bad about what happened!

Gallery Director: Geez...

Mr. Hitomi: Now now, no need to get to upset.

Gallery Director: Sir...

Mana: Who is person?

Gallery Director: He's the man who made the sculpture you broke, Mr. Hitomi.

All 4 Girls: Ah, we're really sorry!

Mr. Hitomi: It's fine.
There's no way you girls could have the strength to break it. There must have been a flaw somewhere.
And that one's a bit of a mystery to me, too.
From the start, that one felt like it wasn't my creation at all.

All 4 Girls: Huh?

Mr. Hitomi: When I picked that red stone up from the riverbed, an amazingly vivid image came to my mind.
It was like someone had planted it there, and I finished this statue in one shot.

Regina: But this is just a simple glass stone.

Mana: Regina!

Mr. Hitomi: Well, that which is built must someday fall.
The same fate has befallen this sculpture.

Mana: Again, we feel really bad about what happened.

Regina: Whatcha doin'?

Mana: Cleaning up the mess.

Regina: Wouldn't it be fine to forget about that?
He forgave you, after all.

Mana: It's the thought that counts.
Since we can't put it back the way it was, this is the least we can do.

Regina: But I was the one who broke it.
You girls had nothing to do with that.

Rikka: What're you talking about? We'd obviously do it since we're friends.

Regina: Friends?

Alice: Yes, it's because we're friends that we can share one-another's burdens at times like this.

Rikka: Well it's sometimes difficult being friends with someone like Mana, who burdens their friends with all sorts of trouble, though.

Mana: Yeah yeah, but you'll still hang out with me, right?

Rikka: Well, if you insist, I guess I can.

Regina: I... wanna be like that too...

Other 4 Girls: Hmm?

Regina: I.... wanna be friends too!

Mana: What're you talking about? You're already our friend.

Regina: Yeah.

Regina: {\i1}What is this feeling? My heart is pounding...{\i0}

Other 4 Girls: Huh?

Makoto: Ah!

Cheryl: It's a Royal Crystal!

Mana: Regina, are you okay?

Regina: This is... a Royal Crystal...

Mana: Regina?

Regina: Give me all those Royal Crystals.
Come on, hand them over!

Makoto: Huh?

Mana: This is wrong, Regina!

Rikka: We told you earlier, those are very important things-

Regina: I told you I wanted them!

Alice: Regina-san?

Mana: What's the matter? You're acting strange.

Regina: Hmph, if won't give them to me, I'll have to take them!

Mr. Hitomi: Have you finished cleaning up?
Hmm?

Mr. Hitomi: Ah, that glow!
That's the inspiration I've been looking for!

Regina: Perfect timing.

Regina: I will make you into a splendid Selfishe!

Selfish: Sculpture Selfishe!
