Prologue

{Continuing from the end of episode 01}
Mana: Precure Love Link!

Cure Heart: Abundant love, Cure Heart!

Cure Sword: Cure... Heart...

Lance: Cure Heart!

Raquel: It's the advent of a new Precure!

{OP}

And you thought Mana was fast before

Title: D'oh! Cure Heart is Unmasked!!

Ira: Gimme a break, she wasn't the last Precure.

Mammo: She's probably a newbie.

Ira: What a bother.
Why you-!
You little-!

Cure Heart: I feel so light!

Mammo: What are you playing at?

Cure Heart: My body is moving so deftly!
I think I jumped a little too high.

Ira + Mammo: Gotcha!

Ira: Yer in my way!

Mammo: That's my line!
I've got an idea. Selfishe!

Selfishe: Selfishe!
Quite Self-self-self-self-selfishe!

Mammo: If you continue to oppose us, your little friend here is going go falling head over heels.

Cure Heart: Wai- are you serious?

Ira: You don't get it, do ya?

Mammo: The heart of the world revolves around King Selfishe.
We're not above any sort of underhanded trick!

Cure Sword: You're the ones who don't get it.
That girl isn't my friend or anything of the sort.
If you think she'd lay down her life just to save mine, you've made a big mistake.

Mammo: What was that!?

Selfishe: Self!
Self!!

Mammo: What!?

Raquel: Cure Heart!

Cure Heart: Cure Sword!

Selfishe: Self! Selllllllllf!

Cure Sword: Why did you-?

Cure Heart: I shouldn't need a reason to save someone.

Selfishe: Self self self selllf...

{Rope breaks and the girls fall.}

Selfishe: Self self... I'm gonna fall!
Sellllllf!

Female victim (Selfishe): Help me!

{Flashback}

Ira: I can make a first-rate Selfishe with this one!

{End Flashback}

Cure Heart: What if the Selfishe doesn't want or mean to rampage?
But instead it's just a troubled creature that's been forced into that form?
If so, I've gotta save it!
What's this light?
Another Cure Lovie...
Cheryl, let's do it!

Cheryl: Cheryl!

Cure Heart: Let my feelings reach you! My Sweet Heart! {Style guide page has a preliminary TL of "Let my feelings break through! My Sweet Heart!" but after seeing the attack and the context surrounding it, I think this is a better translation. --Kanmuri}

Selfishe: Love! Love Loooooove!

Cure Sword: She cleansed a Selfishe...

Lance + Raquel: Yahoo!

Ira: Ha ha! They got yours too!

Mammo: Oh do be quiet!

Cure Heart: Oh, it flew off.

Cheryl: That's a Psyche, a human heart.

Cure Heart: A heart?

Cheryl: Selfish feelings well up in everyone's hearts from time to time.
Everyone tries to keep on going despite these feelings.
However, in a Selfishe, these selfish feelings are inflamed until it turns into a monster.

Cure Heart: I see.

{Damage magically repairs itself}

Cure Heart: Nice to meetcha, I'm Cure Heart. Let's fight together!

Cure Sword: I'll thank you for saving me. But that won't make us friends.

{Cure Heart is surprised}

Cure Sword: I said so earlier, didn't I? That you aren't my friend or anything of the sort.

Cure Heart: Yeah, but since we fought together, that makes us comrades. So we're already friends. {If you have issues with 仲間 being "comrade", "ally" might be an acceptable substitute, though I don't think it has quite the same connotation. --Kanmuri}

Cure Sword: I don't recall fighting alongside you.

{Another shocked look from Cure Heart, poor girl's probably never been turned down like this before. xD}

Cure Sword: When the time comes for them to get serious, can you truly protect those you hold dear?

Cure Heart: Wait a sec! I still have things I want to ask-
Um.... Like how do I change back to normal?

Davi: Why couldn't you two be comrades?
With comrades, our search would be-

Cure Sword: Shut up, Davi! I don't need comrades!

{Elevator dings}

Rikka: Mana!

Teacher: Aida! Are you okay?

Rikka: Are you hurt? And what about that crab monster?

Mana: I don't really know.

Male Student: Wasn't this hall leading up to the elevator a complete wreck earlier, though?

Mana: N-now that you mention it, yeah. It's like it was a dream or something.

{Those faces, wwww}

Teacher: Anyway, the most important thing is that you're safe.

Male Student: Let's head back to the bus.

Mana: Sure.

{Scene change, walking home.}

Mana: Man, I'm tired. Of course that's only natural, given everything that's happened today.

Rikka: Verily thou speakest truth, Happy Prince.

Mana: Wazzat?

Rikka: Once upon a time, in a certain city stood a statue of a prince. The statue had eyes of sapphire, rubies for buttons, and was covered in gold leaf.
The prince asked this of a swallow, "Swallow, take pieces of my body and distribute them to the less fortunate in the city."

Mana: A fable?

Rikka: Exactly. You've been just like that prince since forever ago. You wear yourself down worrying about others' happiness.

Mana: Nah, I'm not really getting "worn down".

Rikka: Isn't there something you still haven't told me?

Mana: Huh? How do you know?

Rikka: Because we've been friends for 10 years. Come on, tell me.

Mana: Well, don't freak out when I tell you, but...

Rikka: Yeah?

Mana: I transformed into a Precure!

Rikka: You did?

Mana: Yeah, this fairy from the Trump Kingdom bestowed upon me a strange power.
I used that power to transform and fight these selfish people.

Rikka: And I followed the White Rabbit to learn the secrets of the world.

Mana: I'm telling you the truth!

Kentarou (Mana's dad): Mana! Welcome home.

Ayumi (Mana's mom): Welcome back.

Mana: I'm home!

Mana's Grandpa: Oh, Rikka-chan's back too.

Kentarou: Welcome back.

Rikka: Thanks. {Yeah, this'll be controversial. But it seems stilted to literally translate her ただいま here. -- Kanmuri}
Mana, we'll talk about this more tomorrow.

Mana: Huh? Hey, wait!

Grandpa (宗吉): Are you sure you don't want to have dinner with us?

Rikka: I'm fine, thanks. Goodbye!

Mana's family: Goodbye!

Mana: Wait a sec, Rikka!
