Princess Kaguya's Lover

p. 7

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

It's been so lonely.

 

You have my first shard.

 

You'll be my eternal companion.

p. 9

Michiru:

I don't like this shade of lipstick.

Setsuna:

It's a really pretty shade. It looks great on you, Michiru!

Hurry up.

Michiru:

There's a comet.

Setsuna:

You're right!

Michiru:

An old resident of the Solar System is coming home.

Maybe we should say, "Welcome back."

Haruka:

As long as it's not an unwelcome guest.

Michiru:

Aah!

How'd it get to be so late!?

Haruka:

They'll make a fuss if we're late.

Setsuna:

Hurry! Let's grab a taxi!

p. 10

---

Usagi:

You're late!

Chibi Usa:

Haruka-san, Michiru-san, Setsuna-san!

You're finally here!

Haruka:

Happy birthday, Minako and Makoto.

Setsuna:

We brought wine and champagne.

Minako:

That's great! (You're a perfect college girl, Setsuna-san!)

Unazuki:

We put all this effort into reserving Parlor Crown, so make sure to eat up!

Usagi:

C'mon!

(We've got juice.)

Cheers! Cheers!

Chibi Usa:

Huh? It feels like something's missing...

(A-one, two, three...)

p. 11

---

Luna:

Sorry we

took so long.

Diana:

(Yay!)

Usagi:

Luna! Artemis! Diana!

You're late!

Luna:

It's Artemis's fault. He was slow coming to get me.

Artemis:

What!?

I always have to pick you up.

You should come get me for a change.

Minako:

Luna! Artemis!

Marital spats are like giraffe sashimi!^[note]

Makoto:

(What's that supposed to mean?)

Minako:

You can't do that in front of us single people!

Mamoru:

Well, anyway.

We've got Unazuki-chan's cooking and Mako-chan's cake.

Let's hurry up and dig in.

p. 12

---

Everyone:

Cheers!

Usagi:

Happy birthday, Mako-chan and Minako-chan!

Chibi Usa:

Ooh! Snow!

Look at the snow!

It's early this year.

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Hehe

Ehee

p. 13

---

December

Ikuko:

Oh, going for a walk, Luna-chan?

Watch out for cars.

Luna:

Meow

Luna:

I didn't mean to, though.

Luna:

I guess I've gotta do like Mamo-chan says.

p. 14

---

Luna:

I have reasons for not wanting to go to Ar's place.

Somehow I have to go down the main street.

 

A while back, some rotten kids

in this area stuck a bandage on my crescent mark. Very bad memories.

(sob)

Kids:

A black cat!

 

She's so cute!

I wanna hold her!

Luna:

Uh oh.

Kid:

Oh!

Luna:

You won't get me that easily.

That's why I hate going down this street.

p. 15

---

Kid:

Gotcha!

Luna:

Huh!?

Kids:

Look! She has a crescent-shaped bald spot! That's so weird!

You're right!

(Sounds like fun!)

 

Let's mess with her a little.

Anyone got a bandage?

I do! (It came with a Nakayoshi issue.)

Luna:

Oh no! What're you doing!?

 

Please! Anything but that!

If you stick a bandage there, my powers will...

p. 16

---

Kids:

Oh!

She got away!

(Damn.)

Luna:

...Oh...

(Mew mew)

I have no power...

 

...I can't go on...

Kakeru:

Look out!

Luna:

...Oh.

If only I'd

gone to see Ar just once before I died...

p. 17

---

Luna:

...What?

Something smells nice and sweet.

Maybe this is Heaven.

...I'm

 

...kinda hungry now.

Kakeru:

Oh, you're awake.

Your stomach just growled, little black kitty.

Do you eat konpeitou?

Luna:

I

survived!?

 

Did he save me?

Kakeru:

Luckily that car didn't hit you.

You just scraped your leg a little.

 

But

that's an odd spot for a bandage. I wonder if you were wounded or something.

Let's see...

Luna:

(Meow!)

p. 18

---

Kakeru:

Now you've

got a pretty crescent-shaped bald spot again.

 

Did it hurt ripping it off? (Haha)

I'm sorry.

Luna:

...He seems so kind... Who is he...?

...Also,

where exactly am I?

Man:

Hey, Oozora!

 

Hime's coming back.

Kakeru:

Really?

 

Ugh

p. 19

---

Himeko:

A space man's gotta be in top condition!

You're still looking pale, Kakeru.

Kakeru:

I'm just a simple surface staff member,

Hime.

Men:

Long time no see, Hime!

How was the final selection process for the Christmas Eve

lunar expedition crew?

Himeko:

I still have to wait a week for the results.

 

I want to be an astronaut and work at Kennedy Space Center as much as you do.

I'd love to be near the launch pad for Apollo 11.

It brought humanity to the Moon for the first time.

p. 20

---

Kakeru:

I know you'll be chosen for the crew, Hime.

Soon we'll have a 22-year-old, youngest ever female astronaut

as the payload specialist for the Luna Frontier spaceplane project.

Luna:

Astronaut?

Himeko:

Of course! I know I'll make it.

I'm confident in my strength, stamina, and will power!

Men:

That's

Himeko Nayotake for you.

We should be calling her "Samurai" instead of "Hime."^[note]

 

But between the two of them,

Dr. Kakeru Oozora, Hime's

friend from childhood, is

the one that's like a princess.

 

I heard he discovered another comet?

Way to go, Doc!

p. 21

---

Men:

Also, he

named that comet "Princess Snow Kaguya."

I saw the interview on TV.

He said it was because the comet looked like it came from the Moon.

 

We should call him "Space Boy"

instead of "Doctor." (What a romantic!)

Himeko:

Oh, Kakeru. I wish he'd be a man and get angry when he hears those things.

 

He wasn't always like this.

p. 22

---

Himeko:

He was the youngest ever. In the US, he earned doctorates in aerospace engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. He had unprecedented, perfect qualifications.

Kakeru was supposed to be the first astronaut from the Young Astronauts Club.

 

But in the final selection process for the spaceplane, he didn't make the crew...

 

Everyone was shocked, because we all thought Kakeru was a sure thing.

 

But even more surprising

 

was that Kakeru

never tried the astronaut application process again after that.

Why?

Man:

Oozora!

 

Emergency staff meeting. You get in there, too!

p. 23

---

Luna:

Oozora-san?

 

That's definitely an astronaut kind of name.^[note]

Man:

This is still top secret. But

p. 24

---

Man:

a few days ago, Kakeru Oozora, a doctor of engineering

who works here at the Space Cultivation Agency, discovered

the Princess Snow Kaguya comet.

It's hard to believe, but

 

we've recently confirmed

that this abrupt comet is on a collision course with Earth.

Luna:

What!?

Man:

Its diameter is 10 kilometers.

A comet the exact same size as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs is headed towards Earth.

 

We're holding an emergency conference with every other nation.

We have to do something.

p. 25

---

Luna:

This is bad!

Usagi:

A comet headed towards Earth!?

Minako:

Could it be

the comet Setsuna-san and Michiru-san were talking about at the party!?

Ami:

Diameter of 10 kilometers. The odds of being hit by that class of astronomical object is only once every 100,000,000 years. How could this happen?

Haruka:

A comet headed towards Earth?

Luna:

That's the calculated orbit.

Its orbit has changed since it was first discovered. It's definitely on a collision course with Earth.

Haruka:

Alright.

p. 26

---

Michiru:

The comet is

getting dark.

 

I can't see it anymore.

 

Don't worry.

It looks like it died out.

Artemis:

It died out.

Just now.

Makoto:

That's great.

Rei:

Maybe it burned up.

p. 27

---

Men:

I can't believe Princess Snow Kaguya just vanished.

 

What a shocker.

 

It was announced that it suddenly got too close to the Sun and burned up.

Nothing unusual. Good thing we didn't have a big panic.

Kakeru:

...Didn't even get to see the meteor shower. It's so weird. I should've been able to see it if it burned up.

Luna:

There's Oozora-san.

Man:

Too bad you didn't get to see the princess's corpse, Kakeru.

p. 28

---

Luna:

I'll just drop off the handkerchief he lent me.

Man:

It's a cat.

A black cat at the window.

Kakeru:

Ooh.

 

A cat?

Luna:

Ack! They found me!

Kakeru:

(Come on, come on.)

You're my

guest.

I'm glad you're here.

Kakeru:

So it burned up and died out?

What a shame.

Luna:

...He let me into his room again.

p. 29

---

Luna:

(Meow meow)

Kakeru:

What is it?

 

Is this...

the handkerchief I wrapped around your wound?

 

Wow. Your owner raised you to be very polite.

I've never met such a lady before.

 

Thank you.

Would you like some konpeitou with your milk?

Luna:

What a gentleman.

I can't believe he treats me this way.

Kakeru:

What's your name?

Luna:

Lu...

 

Whoa, oops!

I almost forgot I can't talk!

p. 30

---

Kakeru:

Kuro.

Mike.

 

Tama.

Luna:

Totally wrong.

(Mow mow)

Kakeru:

(Oh, not it?)

 

Hmmm

 

You've got that crescent-shaped bald spot, so you're

Moon!

Luna:

Almost! Just a little closer!

 

Let's see... Maybe there's something around here I can use as a hint.

 

Ah!

p. 31

---

Luna:

(Meow meow)

Kakeru:

Huh? What's that?

 

A lunar rover?

 

Luna!

Your name is Luna? Aha!

 

Luna, huh?

The next spaceplane scheduled for flight

is named "Luna," too.

What a nice name.

 

My name's Kakeru Oozora.

Nice to meet you, Luna.

Luna:

Wow.

We actually communicated.

p. 32

---

Luna:

A crystal?

It's shaped like the Mythical Silver Crystal.

Kakeru:

Isn't it pretty?

I picked it up the night I found the comet.

 

It looked like the comet and this fragment

fell right from the Moon that night.

 

Maybe Princess Kaguya dropped it.

 

I

believe Princess Kaguya lives on the Moon.

Himeko:

Is that why you named the comet "Princess Snow Kaguya?"

p. 33

---

Kakeru:

Hime!

Luna:

Oh, that's his childhood friend. Himeko-san.

Himeko:

Everyone calls you "Space Boy" behind your back

because you've always got your head in the clouds.

And you're pushing 30.

Man:

Kakeru! Hime!

The meeting's about to start.

Kakeru:

Hime.

Luna:

Oozora-san!?

 

Meow!

Kakeru:

...I'm alright, Luna.

Just normal dizziness...

p. 34

---

Kakeru:

The ribbon on this bag of konpeitou is a nice

crescent color. It'd look good on you.

 

Come and play again sometime, Luna.

Usagi:

Luna's been acting weird

lately?

p. 35

---

Diana:

She's really distracted when you talk to her,

and everyday she goes off somewhere by herself.

Chibi Usa:

All she

eats now is konpeitou.

Ami:

Sometimes

Luna comes to my house to stare at books, though...?

(Let's start studying, Usagi-chan.)

Luna:

I see.

So Princess Kaguya

is a princess who came from the Moon and went back.

(It's a Japanese classic.)

Minako:

Oh yeah. I noticed a cat that looked like Luna near my house earlier. (I'm home!)

Oh, Artemis. Did you get left behind again today?

Artemis:

And she never even comes to see me.

Where the hell are you going, Luna?

(It's very suspicious.)

 

Not to mention that ribbon...

What's with the ribbon?

Luna:

I-It's nothing.

p. 36

---

Kakeru:

The crystal's growing!

Unbelievable.

 

I can't say for sure, but if this crystal came from the comet's core,

it could instantly solve the mysteries of the Solar System's formation.

 

If only we could've done a sample return before the comet disappeared.

Too bad.

Luna:

(Come on.)

p. 37

---

Usagi:

Mamo-chan.

Thanks for walking me home.

Mamoru:

Later.

Usagi:

(Mmm)

Usagi:

Ah, this feels great. It smelled so good.

 

Oh, you're home, Luna?

Do you wanna get in, too? Tonight's the yuzu bath.

Luna:

(No thanks. Citrus fruits make me itchy.)

 

Something smells good. But it's not the yuzu.

What is it?

p. 38

---

Usagi:

It's potpourri.

I keep it in the drawer so my pajamas smell good.

 

Check it out!

Mamo-chan and Chibi Usa have matching pairs of these

pajamas.

(Aren't they cute?)

Luna:

...Usagi-chan.

What do you and Mamo-chan

talk about when you're alone?

Usagi:

He's always reading complicated books, and we can't really do that together.

So I do all the talking.

p. 39

---

Usagi:

Then

he just falls asleep on the sofa.

Luna:

...A lot

like Kakeru-san.

Usagi:

But

that's just how he is.

It makes him feel comfortable, so we can think about anything.

Luna:

Really?

Is that what it is?

Usagi:

Mamo-chan looks like a kid when he's sleeping.

It's so cute!

(Heehee)

Luna:

I know!

Isn't it?

Usagi:

...Luna, who are you talking about?

 

Artemis?

Luna:

I- It doesn't matter who it is!

Usagi:

Hmmmm

p. 40

---

Luna:

...Hey, Usagi-chan.

 

W-

 

What does

a kiss taste like?

Usagi:

Sw-

(Oh no!)

It tastes

sweet,

I guess.

(Not really.)

Luna:

Sweet...

p. 41

---

Luna:

Sweet.

 

Maybe it tastes like konpeitou.

Himeko:

You're eating that junk again!

You'll end up a diabetic, Kakeru!

Kakeru:

Hime!

I like konpeitou.

They're like eating star fragments, you know?

Himeko:

It's 11:00 now! (What're you talking about?)

Finish up and go home. You're gonna feel it tomorrow.

Luna:

Huh? It's that late already?

Himeko:

And you brought a cat in here again.

 

Ooh!

p. 42

---

Kakeru:

Watch ou...

Himeko:

Aaaah!

 

Kakeru!? What's wrong!?

Kakeru:

Nothing...

Just a little dizzy...

Himeko:

Have you been taking good care of yourself?

 

This is

completely unacceptable for an

astronaut.

Kakeru:

...You

go up and see space for me.

Aren't you going back to the US now?

p. 43

---

Himeko:

...I don't even know myself.

 

You don't need to worry

about me.

Television:

These four have been chosen for the crew of the spaceplane Luna, which takes flight on the 24th.

Their goal is to head to the lunar base...

Himeko:

I didn't pass the final screening.

 

...I'll go back to the US and start from scratch.

 

The chief and the director said

girls are better off getting married.

Kakeru:

You'll have plenty of other chances.

Himeko:

Of course I will!

I'm really serious about this.

I'm not gonna give up

after one little failure.

p. 44

---

Himeko:

...Because, unlike you,

 

I don't forget about my dreams!

Kakeru:

Hime!

Luna:

(Meow meow)

W-What do I do?

Kakeru:

...Are you hungry, Luna?

Let's head home.

Luna:

Oozora-san...

Kakeru:

Powder snow.

It's pretty cold this year.

 

I should have some milk in the refrigerator...

p. 45

---

Luna:

Oozora-san!?

Kakeru:

I'm alright, Luna...

Luna:

(Meow meow)

Kakeru:

My medication...

Luna:

That's

an awful lot of medication...!

 

Oozora-san!?

Kakeru:

Thank you, Luna.

Luna:

I wonder what kind of medication it is.

Oh, I wish Mamo-chan or Ami-chan were here right now. They'd know the appropriate actions to take.

p. 46

---

Luna:

...Pretty...

It's the minute the Sun rises.

Kakeru:

Luna?

 

Have you been awake here all this time?

Luna:

Meow

Kakeru:

Guess the snow stopped.

It's dawn already.

p. 47

---

Kakeru:

Look at this beautiful Earth morning.

 

Luna.

Seeing the Sun rise from space is incredible.

It's much more

beautiful.

 

I want you to see it too,

Luna.

 

I'd love to go see it together.

p. 48

---

Kakeru:

You sure smell nice.

Is it flowers?

 

It's potpourri.

Your owner's?

 

I feel so relaxed around you.

It's like we understand everything about each other.

Luna:

I feel

 

the same way...

p. 49

---

Luna:

Ooh

p. 50

---

Luna:

Why does the world

look so beautiful...?

 

...I kissed him.

 

...I

...love

...him.

p. 51

---

Luna:

Kakeru-san...

Kakeru:

Luna?

Did she go home?

 

From Himeko.

Kakeru:

...I think I have a lot of vacation days saved up.

 

Hello? Space Cultivation Agency?

p. 52

---

Luna:

Kakeru-san might be at work now.

Man:

Hello? Oozora? You're taking time off until the day after tomorrow?

Alright. I'll let everyone know.

Where are you going?

 

Kennedy Space Center?

p. 53

---

Boy:

Mama, look! There's a cat on the wing!

Woman:

Hey! Stop talking nonsense and be quiet!

Boy:

(But it's true! There's a black cat!)

Luna:

Kakeru-san...?

Man:

Kakeru!? It's you!

 

When did you get here? Did you finally regain your nerve to be an astronaut?

Hime arrived earlier. Want me to call her?

Kakeru:

Nah...

I'm just doing a little sightseeing on my day off. I'll be leaving soon.

Man:

(Day off?)

p. 54

---

Luna:

He looks like he's fading away...

 

Why would he

go to Kennedy Space Center all of a sudden...?

 

(Meow)

p. 55

---

Kakeru:

Luna!?

Luna:

(Meow)

Kakeru:

It can't be.

But that crescent-shaped bald spot!

Luna:

(Mow)

Kakeru:

Don't tell me your owner works for NASA!?

Usagi:

(As if.)

Kakeru:

I can't believe it... Is it really you? How could we meet in a place like this...?

 

Did

you follow me?

Luna:

How

did you know?

 

Yeah. I followed you all the way to the US...

Kakeru:

...Guess I'm a pretty nostalgic guy

for coming back here now.

p. 56

---

Kakeru:

I'm also a terrible guy.

I was actually relieved that

Hime didn't make the crew.

p. 57

---

Kakeru:

...We're in an age where so

many people can easily go to space.

Luna:

...He

hasn't forgotten his dreams.

p. 58

---

Luna:

So you want to be an astronaut, Kakeru-san...

p. 59

---

Kakeru:

Ugh!

Luna:

Kakeru-san!?

 

What do I do!?

 

I have to

call someone!

 

Kakeru-san!

Kakeru-san!!

Himeko:

Huh!?

This kitty can't be...!?

Luna:

(Meow)

Himeko:

Wait!

Where are you going!?

p. 60

---

Himeko:

Kakeru!?

 

Dilated cardiomyopathy?

Doctor:

And an irregular pulse on top of that, so we can't operate on him.

Being an astronaut is preposterous.

 

He must not overexert himself. Go back to Japan and admit him into a hospital right away.

Kakeru:

Sorry, Hime.

You had to come back to Japan, too...

Himeko:

Well of course I did. I couldn't possibly leave you alone.

You're going to the hospital,

and I'm gonna stay in Japan until you get better.

p. 61

---

Ami:

These medications are

digitalis, diuretics, vasodilators,

and Verapamil. Heart medications.

 

This person

might have cardiomyopathy.

Luna:

Cardiomyopathy.

 

So it was heart problems!? Kakeru-san...

Usagi:

Oh, Luna!!

Where the hell have you been!? I haven't heard from you in three days! (I've been looking for you.)

Luna:

...Well.

Minako:

It's love.

p. 62

---

Minako:

Luna is totally in love.

Artemis:

L-Luna's in love!? With whom!?

Minako:

At least we know it's not you.

Michiru:

She often has her head in the clouds.

Her actions make no sense.

She dresses up.

(She wears a ribbon and uses potpourri.)

Usagi:

And she was suddenly interested

in Mamo-chan and I!

It's gotta be love! Right?

Mamoru:

(Uh uh.)

Minako:

Basically, you have to stop slacking, Artemis!

p. 63

---

Minako:

In the 30th

Century, you two got married at some point and had Diana-chan.

You can't just rest on your laurels!

Because the future can always change.

 

So where's Luna?

Usagi:

She's at home in a daze.

(You're really persuasive, Minako-chan.)

Ami:

Luna...

Makoto:

So Luna's in love...

I can kinda understand.

 

These cold nights make you want to be with someone wonderful...

...Like my upper classman...

Rei:

I know.

This season certainly makes you remember old loves.

Minako:

...My first love...

Higashi from the volleyball club...

(But I killed him.)

p. 64

---

Usagi:

What's up with you guys all of a sudden!?

Minako:

You don't understand how we feel, Usagi.

Makoto:

Christmas time makes you wanna fall in love with someone.

It's so lonely to not have anyone on Christmas Eve.

Michiru:

It is.

Setsuna:

Loneliness is awful.

Michiru:

Ooh,

it's snowing again.

Setsuna:

I bet it'll be cold tonight.

Snow Dancers:

Ehee

Hehe

Princess Snow Kaguya:

That's right.

 

Loneliness is awful.

p. 65

---

Chibi Usa:

Oh yeah. It's almost Christmas.

 

...Papa.

Mama... (...sniffle)

Mamoru:

Oh, not you too.

Ami:

Why don't we have a Christmas party?

It'd be fun.

Chibi Usa:

Seriously!?

(Let's do it!)

 

You know, every year we pick a hero for Christmas.

Usagi:

A hero?

Chibi Usa:

Yeah. Then at the party, everyone

gives the hero the one thing they want most as a present.

p. 66

---

Chibi Usa:

Our Christmas parties were lots of fun.

I wonder who should be the hero this year.

 

...Papa. Mama...

Mamoru:

(Ah, she's gonna cry again.)

(Come on! Smile, Chibi Usa!)

Himeko:

I've made the arrangements for your hospital stay. I'll come and visit you. Do you need anything?

Kakeru:

Thanks, Hime. I'm fine.

I'm gonna stop at the lab, and then I'll head to the hospital.

p. 67

---

Kakeru:

The crystal...

How did it grow so large!? It can't be...!

 

It's shaped like a person...!

What the hell is it...!?

 

It hurts...

 

My attacks have been more frequent lately.

Am I about to get canned?

p. 68

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

It was so lonely.

Kakeru:

...Who's there?

The window's open?

Princess Snow Kaguya:

You were the one that first picked up my shard.

p. 69

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

I am Snow Kaguya.

You named me.

Kakeru:

...Did you come to get me...?

 

...Will I die soon?

...I see.

 

...Don't worry. Both of my parents died a very long time ago.

There's no one else to grieve for me...

 

I have no regrets.

Take me away whenever.

p. 70

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

How lonely.

I sort of understand your loneliness.

 

I was all alone, too.

Completely isolated for 4.5 billion years...

Luna:

Kakeru-san...

There's nothing a mere cat like me could do for you.

 

...But I wanna see you...

Nurse:

Oozora-san?

How are you feeling?

Has anything unusual...

p. 71

---

Nurse:

Aaaaah!

 

Aaaaah!

Luna:

Who is that!? It looks like... It can't be...

Luna:

An enemy!?

Usagi-chan!!

p. 72

---

Usagi:

Luna!?

(Wha?)

Luna:

Come on! Hurry!

Usagi:

Hold on, Luna! What's going on!? (I'm getting dressed.)

Luna:

An enemy!!

There's an enemy at the hospital!

Usagi:

An enemy!?

Nurse:

What are you people doing!?

Nurse:

Visiting hours are long over!

(And you even brought a cat in here!)

Usagi:

Luna, where is it?

Luna:

The ICU on the fourth floor internal medicine ward!

Usagi:

Okay!

Moon Power!

p. 73

Usagi:

Transform into the Director General of the Science and Technology Agency!

The highest authority for the Space Cultivation Agency!!

(The first female minister of the Science and Technology Agency!)

Luna:

(...Why'd you have to dress so flashy?)

Usagi:

As a minister, I get a free pass on visitation hours!

Luna:

(That's ridiculous!)

Usagi:

Sailor Moon:

Protected by the love and justice satellite, the Moon. The mystical soldier!

Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

is here!!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Who are you!?

Sailor Moon:

Moon Spiral

Heart Attack!

p. 75

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Kugh!!

 

For now, I'll retreat!

Himeko:

Kakeru!?

 

What's wrong? What happened?

Who are you!?

Sailor Moon:

I'm Sailor Moon.

Kakeru-san was attacked.

Himeko:

Sailor Moon!?

p. 76

---

Kakeru:

...Hime?

Himeko:

Kakeru!?

Kakeru:

The crystal...

Himeko:

Crystal!?

Kakeru:

Snow Kaguya suddenly...

 

appeared from it...

Sailor Moon:

Snow Kaguya!?

Himeko:

The crystal he was talking about

is something that fell from the sky the day he found the comet, apparently.

 

That crystal has been growing at a terrifying speed.

It's a completely unidentified crystal.

p. 77

---

Himeko:

This unidentified crystal is composed of potent materials that are making Kakeru see illusions.

The crystal is dangerous!

Luna:

Snow Kaguya... The comet's name...

It can't be.

 

They're not illusions, Himeko-san.

Himeko:

L-Luna!?

You just t-talked!

Luna:

It might be hard to believe, but

it's an invader.

And it came from the comet.

Himeko:

An invader.

You mean an unknown lifeform?

p. 78

---

Luna:

The crystal

is probably a piece of the invader.

They may be after Kakeru-san... He might be attacked again.

We'd better get rid of the crystal.

Himeko:

This is insane...

You're saying an unknown lifeform is after Kakeru?

Sailor Moon:

Not just Kakeru-san.

They could be after the whole planet.

Luna:

Himeko-san...

Sailor Moon:

Luna?

 

Could this

be the man she's in love with...?

p. 79

---

Michiru:

Coordinates?

Haruka:

The point where the Princess Snow Kaguya comet died out!

p. 80

---

Sailor Uranus:

The comet!?

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Who are you!?

You're blocking my path!

Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, & Sailor Pluto:

The three soldiers of the Outer Solar System! Sailor Uranus!

Sailor Neptune!

Sailor Pluto!

Here we are!!

p. 81

---

Sailor Uranus:

So you pretended to die out

and hid yourself!

What are you after, invader!?

You're gonna leave this place right now!

 

World Shaking!!

Sailor Neptune:

Deep Submerge!!

Sailor Pluto:

Dead Scream!!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Ohoho. What can infants like you do to me!?

p. 82

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Ohohoho

 

I thought I could hide myself and easily take this planet.

 

But now I'll wrap the planet up with

the energy of 4,500,000,000 years of solitude. This planet is mine.

p. 83

---

Usagi:

Uranus! Neptune!

Pluto!

Haruka:

The comet didn't disappear!

Snow Kaguya is coming after this planet!

 

At this rate, the comet will hit Earth as originally scheduled! The planet's in trouble!

p. 84

---

Himeko:

An invader...

An alien lifeform. I can't believe it...

 

And it's attacking Kakeru...

Man:

Hime!

The Science and Technology Agency just received word from NASA.

 

The objective of the spaceplane Luna's flight on the 24th

has changed, and they've increased the crew size.

You've been selected for the crew, Hime!

Television:

The newest crew member is Japanese astronaut Miss Himeko Nayotake. This is her first flight.

p. 85

---

Television:

She is the youngest female astronaut from Japan...

Luna:

Himeko-san...

Kakeru:

Hime.

Luna.

 

Everyone is leaving me.

 

Don't go.

p. 86

---

Kakeru:

It's so lonely.

 

...Who is that?

...Princess Kaguya?

 

...Hime!

 

You're an astronaut now. What are you doing here?

You should be in the US right...

Himeko:

I'm going.

I'm gonna go see space for

p. 87

---

Himeko:

you, too.

Kakeru:

...You've gotta get back soon.

You don't have this kind of freedom anymore.

 

...I have to congratulate you.

 

Ugh

Himeko:

Kakeru!

Kakeru:

...It looks hopeless for me.

Himeko:

Kakeru.

Kakeru:

I don't have long.

I just know it.

Himeko:

When I

get back from my flight, I'm gonna be here with you, no matter what anyone says.

p. 88

---

Himeko:

I'll stay by your side and cure your heart.

Next time we'll go into space together.

 

And we'll

find out if Princess Kaguya is on the Moon or not together.

Kakeru:

...Hime...!

Himeko:

...Don't keep all your pain to yourself.

 

You can tell me anything.

You're the one who told me not to give up, you know.

...When we were little,

we decided we'd become astronauts, no matter what.

p. 89

---

Himeko:

It was our dream, right?

Kakeru:

...Hime...!

I wanna go to space.

 

...I don't know if I can go now.

Himeko:

Of course you can.

...I'll take you there.

p. 90

---

Luna:

I thought we were soul mates who understood each other.

 

But to you,

I wasn't the one.

p. 91

---

Luna:

I wanna be human.

 

If I were human...

Luna:

I wouldn't have all these frustrating thoughts...

 

...It hurts.

 

...How can feelings hurt so much...?

Artemis:

Luna?

Luna:

Ar?

 

W-What are you doing here so late?

p. 92

---

Artemis:

It's the comet.

We're devising strategies.

Everyone else was here until just a few minutes ago.

Luna:

I'm so...

I've been so out of it while we're in the middle of a crisis.

 

And Ar is working so hard...

Artemis:

...Hey, Luna. You hungry?

 

We've got konpeitou. You like those, right?

Chibi Usa and Diana

said you were free to have them, since they bought a bunch.

Chibi Usa & Diana:

(All lies. You bought them yourself.)

Luna:

Konpeitou...

 

...They're kinda bitter.

p. 93

---

Artemis:

Luna!

Artemis:

(Augh)

 

Ah, man!

I've been trying my best to devise countermeasures, but everyone

says your perspective is the best! We can't have a strategy meeting without Luna, they said! So they all left.

 

We've gotta do it.

We've gotta

 

save Earth

and all its people!

Usagi:

Artemis, Luna...!

p. 94

---

Man:

We have breaking news. Yesterday, the Ministry of Defense announced that, through an emergency vote between NASA and a group of numerous world leaders,

 

the spaceplane Luna, scheduled for flight on December 24th, will be equipped with a nuclear warhead.

 

It will rendezvous with the Princess Snow Kaguya comet

and blow it up, avoiding collision.

Usagi:

Blow up the comet!?

Man:

The blast will have unavoidable effects on the Earth...

Luna:

Spaceplane Luna.

Himeko-san!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Hehe

Ehee

p. 95

---

Himeko:

This is the crystal!?

 

It bewitches Kakeru.

And it looks like a snow queen...!

p. 96

---

Himeko:

I'm gonna protect him!

That comet is a nest of monsters.

 

I'll go break it apart!

 

Sailor Moon!?

Luna!

Sailor Moon:

Himeko-san!

p. 97

---

Himeko:

I'm

going.

 

Having to blow up a comet

on my precious first flight is a huge responsibility. But

I'll do my best to fulfill my duties.

Sailor Moon:

Princess Snow Kaguya is really tough.

But we'll take care of it.

 

Our goal isn't to blow up the comet.

We want your first lunar expedition to go safely, as planned.

So we'll beat this invader!

That's what we're here for.

Himeko:

Sailor Moon...!

p. 98

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Ohh

 

You won't get away with this.

How dare you smash by body into tiny pieces!

 

Now I will finally make my dreams into reality!

p. 99

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Hehehe

Go, Snow Dancers.

 

Show them your

blizzard dance.

p. 100

Luna:

Ar! It's really bad!

 

All the people in town are...!!

Snow Dancers:

Hehehe. Go to sleep.

Eheehee. Get some sleep.

Artemis:

Luna! Look! The ocean!!

 

What is that tower!?

Luna:

Guys! It's an emergency!

It's the enemy!

p. 101

---

Kakeru:

It feels like my heart is burning up...! It hurts...!

 

You...!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

I've come to get you.

You and your beautiful, glass-like heart.

p. 102

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Let us rule the world of ice together.

 

Before long, this planet and the universe will turn into a world of pure ice.

Forever.

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Ohoho

You little children know nothing!

 

The Solar System was originally mine. My other self!

4,500,000,000 years ago, I was supposed to rule this star system!

p. 106

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

But I was labeled a heretic and knocked away.

 

I was supposed to raise

this blue jewel.

Sailor Pluto:

4,500,000,000 years ago...!

So you're an ugly nebular remnant from the ancient Solar System!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

It's been so long.

 

So very long. Wandering for 4.5 billion years.

And I've finally returned.

 

This beautiful planet has come back to me!

p. 107

---

Sailor Moon:

Get Kakeru-san to the hospital!

Sailor Neptune:

Got it!

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Now,

my dear Snow Dancers.

Give them love.

Snow Dancers:

Eheehee

Hehehe

Nichougi:

Mako-chan, let's go to the Christmas party together.

Sailor Jupiter:

My upper classman...

Rei's Parents:

Rei, let's go out to eat as a family for Christmas.

Sailor Mars:

Papa, Mama...

Higashi:

Minako-chan! Merry Christmas.

Sailor Venus:

My upper classman...

p. 108

---

Snow Dancers:

Wouldn't it be awful to die alone?

We'll show you nice, happy dreams forever. You'll never be alone again.

Sailor Moon:

Mamo-chan...

Mamoru:

We'll have a merry Christmas for just the two of us, Usa.

Nurse:

There's a terrible snow storm out there.

 

Oozora-san? How are you feeling?

 

Oozora-san!?

p. 109

---

Man:

The spaceplane Luna's flight is scheduled for today, December 24th.

But due to a powerful magnetic storm in Earth's airspace, and a fierce blizzard, the flight's countdown is currently suspended.

Luna:

It's already December 24th.

 

It's almost time for Himeko-san's spaceplane to take flight...

 

But if it launches now

it'll get caught up in the battle!

 

Huh!?

 

The ribbon.

 

The ribbon Kakeru-san gave me...!?

 

I've got a bad feeling.

Artemis:

Luna?

Luna:

Kakeru-san!?

p. 110

---

Artemis:

Luna.

Why don't you go outside and see how the town is doing?

Luna:

...Ar?

Artemis:

Hurry

up and go.

Luna:

Ar...

 

I'm off!

Artemis:

Be careful!

Mamoru:

We should go too, Chibi Usa.

Chibi Usa:

Yeah!

Nurse:

Doctor! Please come with me!

 

Oozora-san in the private room is...

Himeko:

Kakeru!?

p. 112

---

Astronaut:

Hime?

Himeko:

Oh, no, it's nothing.

Astronaut:

CAPCOM.

Can't you restart the countdown yet!?

CAPCOM:

This powerful magnetic storm won't calm down at all. It appeared out of nowhere, and the cause is still unknown.

Plus, the blizzard keeps getting stronger.

 

We may have to suspend the flight.

Himeko:

Magnetic storms and blizzards are not that big of a deal!

Apollo 12 took off during a thunderstorm! Let's hurry up and go!!

Astronaut:

You sure are brave, Hime.

...You're not scared?

Himeko:

I am scared.

I'm scared.

p. 113

---

Himeko:

But I want you to see this flight, Kakeru.

I want it to make you feel better.

 

Fly, please!

It feels like I need to go now.

 

I wanna go to space for Kakeru.

 

Kakeru!

p. 114

Luna:

Kakeru-san!?

 

Kakeru-san. Kakeru-san!

Nurse:

A cat!

There's a cat at the window...

Kakeru:

...Luna?

 

Luna...!

Luna:

Kakeru-san!

Kakeru:

...Doctor, please let that cat in...

She's a dear friend of mine.

Luna:

(Meow)

p. 115

---

Luna:

Kakeru-san...!

Television:

The spaceplane Luna's flight is believed to be on the verge of suspension.

This would leave Earth in a hopeless situation, unable to avoid collision with the comet.

Luna:

Sailor Moon will destroy the comet.

 

And if Himeko-san's spaceplane takes off safely, I'm sure the pain in your heart

will vanish when you hear the news, and you'll feel better. Right, Kakeru-san!?

 

Everyone is

fighting, so

you've got to work hard, too!

Turn back into ancient cosmic dust!

p. 122

Princess Snow Kaguya:

This white light!

 

4,500,000,000 years ago, I was knocked away by a white light that surrounded this planet.

 

Can it be...?

Super Sailor Moon:

Rainbow Moon Heartache!!

p. 123

---

Princess Snow Kaguya:

Can it be

that which controls the galaxy, the Mythical Silver Crystal's light!?

Himeko:

What is this light!?

p. 124

---

Men:

The comet was instantly destroyed!!

What amazing energy!

What happened!? Did it burn out!?

Himeko:

Could it be?

Himeko:

Sailor Moon...?

Was it you guys...!?

p. 125

---

Men:

The magnetic storm is over!!

The blizzard has stopped, too! It's all clear!

 

Remove the warhead! Hurry!

When the modifications are complete, restart the countdown!

 

We're changing the program back to the Luna Frontier project as originally scheduled!

The spaceplane Luna will head to the lunar base as scheduled!!

Himeko:

We're going to the Moon.

Tuxedo Mask:

It's a meteor shower.

Sailor Chibi Moon:

...It looks

 

like it's raining konpeitou.

p. 126

Luna:

Kakeru-san.

 

Himeko-san's spaceplane just took off for

the Moon.

Doctor:

I guess you're his only family, kitty.

Luna:

(Meow)

Doctor:

We've given him an IV drip and an IABP.

But his blood pressure is not returning to normal.

We've done all we can.

p. 127

---

Doctor:

Tonight will be the most critical.

Luna:

...What

...can I do for him?

 

...I can't do anything for him in this body.

 

If I were human...

 

If only I were human...

Kakeru-san...!

p. 128

---

Super Sailor Moon:

Tuxedo Mask, Chibi Moon!

How is Kakeru-san?

Tuxedo Mask:

...Luna's been with him all night.

Sailor Chibi Moon:

This year's Christmas heroine

is Luna.

 

Let's all give Luna a Christmas present!

 

Super Sailor Moon.

Turn Luna into a human.

 

Use the power of the Mythical Silver Crystal and the Legendary Holy Grail

to turn Luna into a human girl for just one night.

p. 129

---

Sailor Chibi Moon:

Use the power of Super Sailor Moon's holy grail and the Mythical Silver Crystal

to give Luna what she wants most.

Luna:

It's so bright!!

What is this light!?

Super Sailor Moon:

Luna.

Open your eyes.

Luna:

Huh!?

Super Sailor Moon:

Merry Christmas, Luna.

Me...?

A human girl...?

Super Sailor Moon...

 

-san.

Kakeru-san.

Kakeru:

...Who's there?

 

...Princess Kaguya?

Luna:

Yes.

That's right, Kakeru-san.

 

Open your eyes. Look.

p. 133

---

Kakeru:

It's...

 

Am I actually

in space right now?

 

...The stardust

is like konpeitou.

p. 134

---

Kakeru:

...The Sun is rising. It's incredible.

I can't believe this view...

 

...I have nothing to regret now.

Luna:

Kakeru-san...

 

...I feel like stardust is falling inside me.

 

Does every human girl experience such painful thoughts?

I thought...

p. 135

---

Luna:

I could take you away and we could disappear together somewhere.

 

But you

need to live.

 

When your true Princess Kaguya

eventually returns to Earth,

you have to turn the lights on in the house to greet her.

 

And you have to

live your dream and come back to beautiful

outer space...

 

...Next time you come,

I know you and Himeko-san will

watch the Sun rise together...

p. 136

Kakeru:

...You're...

 

That crescent mark on your forehead...

Can it be...?

 

Lu...

p. 137

Luna:

Come see whether or not I'm on the Moon.

...I love you, my space man.

 

You have to promise you'll come see me.

Kakeru:

I promise!

Luna:

Live.

 

And be sure to come back

to see the beautiful sunrise.

Doctor:

His blood pressure's returning to normal!

His EKG is normal, too!

 

You did it, Oozora-kun!

Luna:

And go to the Moon

to look for Princess Kaguya...

p. 138

---

Kakeru:

...Luna...!

Himeko:

Kakeru.

 

Can you see

this beautiful sunrise?

 

Spaceplane Luna will land on the Moon soon.

The Moon is right before my eyes, Kakeru.

 

Next time, all three of us

 

should come here.

And we'll

go to the Moon, Kakeru.

Definitely.

p. 139

---

Luna:

Now to head home.

 

This form really is more comfortable.

I'm closer to the ground.

Luna:

...Ar.

Artemis:

Welcome home, Luna.

Luna:

How long have you been standing there?

You're covered in snow!

Artemis:

Just a little while. I figured you'd be coming home soon.

(Oh? Is it really that much snow?)

Chibi Usa:

(All lies.)

Diana:

(You've been waiting there all night.)

Luna:

...You were waiting for me?

p. 140

Artemis:

Of course I was! Let's head inside. (I'm starving!)

Luna:

Artemis...!

Artemis:

The Christmas party's today.

We can't be late this time.

(...Ehee.) Yeah.
