Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Act 4:
Masquerade―仮面舞踏会
Masquerade - Masquerade Ball

p. 118-119

p. 120

Ikuko:

Well, another good deed by Sailor Moon-chan.

Just who would work as a soldier of justice, I wonder? (She looks really young, though.)

p. 121

Usagi:

Ack! 8:25!

I'm laaaaaaate!

Mama, lunch!

 

Luna! Full-force dash!

Luna:

There's an awful lot of inspections today.

Usagi:

I'm Usagi Tsukino.

Actually, I'm the soldier of justice, Sailor Moon.

(It's a secret from Mama.)

p. 122

Usagi:

But I'm no ordinary soldier of justice.

I have many missions, and it's terrible.

 

To defeat the mysterious enemy (apparently non-human) that threatens people, right?

To search for our comrades, right?

I don't know where it is, but I have to search

for the Mythical Silver Crystal.

On top of that,

 

Luna says to seek out our princess and protect her.

 

Good morning! (gasp gasp)

Naru:

Usagi, it's safe! (Haruda hasn't come yet!)

p. 123

Naru:

Hey, you know how they're doing lots of inspections on the highway!?

Usagi:

Yep. Is something up?

Naru:

Princess D's coming to Japan! She's the first princess

of the nation of D, the world's largest producer of jewels.

 

They say there's a dinner party at the embassy tonight!

You know, the D Embassy is on Lower Sendai Slope! That's very close!

Usagi:

Wow, a princess!

Naru:

Isn't it something?

Princess D is gonna inherit the mythical hidden treasure that's been passed down through the royal family.

And they say the hidden treasure will be presented to the world for the first time at the dinner party!

I wonder just how amazing the hidden treasure of the jewel kingdom will be. (I can't even imagine.)

(Naru-chan's house is a jewelry store.)

p. 124

Naru:

Oh, Usagi's kitty is trying her hardest to read the newspaper. (So cute!)

Ami:

Usagi-chan. (You made it.)

Rei:

You're late.

Usagi:

Ehehe...

Luna:

She got another bad score on her test and had to stay after. (Honestly...)

Ami-chan, help her study next time.

Usagi:

I'll introduce you.

p. 125

Usagi:

The incredibly reliable genius girl from Class 5, Ami-chan, is

Sailor Mercury.

 

And

the scary when angry young lady,

the beautiful shrine maiden, Rei-chan, is

Sailor Mars.

Already we've found two of our comrades.

Rei:

Seriously, why am I a soldier of justice? I am busy.

 

On that note: Luna!

We have the matter of searching for our princess,

but exactly what kingdom is she from? Does she have any marks?

 

Also,

well, where did you come from, Luna? If you don't open up and let us know your identity,

I cannot cooperate.

p. 126

Luna:

That,

I can't say yet.

...Even if I did, I'm sure you wouldn't believe me.

Ami:

But Luna, we still need a bit more data.

About the enemy, and the Mythical Silver Crystal...

Luna:

To be frank,

even I don't know who the enemy is.

To think that an enemy like this has gotten into Tokyo...

Ami:

But we became soldiers to defeat the enemy, right?

Luna:

No!

To protect the princess.

You're the soldiers that protect the princess.

 

The fact that we still haven't been able to find the princess means--

p. 127

Luna:

I think she's been placed under some kind of

seal, so that she wouldn't know anything.

Ami:

A seal?

Rei:

Why would that be necessary...?

Luna:

The possibility that the princess has the Mythical Silver Crystal

is very high.

 

There's no question that everyone has their eyes on the Mythical Silver Crystal, our sacred stone that holds infinite power.

But if it's abused, unbelievable things will happen.

p. 128

Luna:

Your awakening as soldiers is not yet complete.

 

When all the soldiers are together

and you awaken completely, the princess's seal will be broken,

and you'll definitely understand everything.

 

This is all I can say right now.

I think?

Rei:

A-

Awaken, you say.

How...?

Luna:

Your memories.

 

You must remember!

Rei:

Remember?

Luna:

Especially Usagi-chan.

p. 129

Luna:

You were the first to become a soldier.

You must become our leader,

yet you're the least reliable.

 

Sheesh, Usagi-chan. You're playing games while we're having an important discussion!

Usagi:

Hold on, hold on. Just a bit longer!

Luna:

Get a grip on things!

Motoki:

There sure are a lot of police out today.

 

Yo, Usagi-chan. You've brought pretty friends today, too.

Usagi:

(Heehee)

 

Big Bro, I know why.

A princess is coming to the D Embassy.

Luna:

I think we need to check out

Princess D and the hidden treasure.

(You're heavy, Luna.)

p. 130

Motoki:

Wow, a princess.

I wonder if she's a buxom blonde.

Umino:

Mwahaha

I have an incredibly difficult to obtain photo of Princess D.

 

(Look.)

People:

...Huh?

That's Princess D?

Wowww.

Hmmm.

(Ahaha)

Usagi:

She looks kinda like Umino.

 

It must be nice. I'm sure Princess D will wear a dreamy dress tonight at the dinner party.

I wanna go too, I wanna go too!

I also wanna see the mythical hidden treasure!

p. 131

Rei:

You had better stop.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Nothing good will come of it.

Nephrite:

Nation of D's mythical hidden treasure?

There is a need to investigate.

Nephrite:

Jadeite, one of us Four Great Kings... I, Nephrite,

will definitely obtain the Mythical Silver Crystal to revive you!

p. 132

Queen Beryl:

Yes, Nephrite.

 

With the Mythical Silver Crystal's power, of course we'll restore Jadeite, along with our Great Ruler.

And the Dark Kingdom will reign over the surface!!

 

The Mythical Silver Crystal.

Just what is it like?

Is it really a stone that holds such great power?

 

Where the hell is it!?

Usagi:

I'm home!

p. 133

Usagi:

Oh, Papa, what's going on? You're all dressed up.

Kenji:

(Oh!) I'm going to the dinner party at the D Embassy. I'm doing a story for the magazine.

Usagi:

Huh?

 

No fair! I'm going too!

Kenji:

You can watch it on the news afterwards, okay? See ya! (I'll go on your behalf.)

Usagi:

...Luna.

 

Let's go investigate.

Usagi:

Moon Power!

p. 134

Usagi:

Transform into a princess!

Rei:

(Seriously, why me too...)

Usagi:

Oooh, a masquerade ball!

Luna:

This way no one knows who anyone is.

p. 135

Ami:

Let's split up and search for Princess D.

Usagi-chan?

Usagi:

Pretty! Pretty! Like a foreign movie!

Rei:

...It would be faster to leave her and go search.

Usagi:

This is so nice. I've gone through the trouble of getting dressed up.

I wanna dance to at least one song.

Kenji:

Hmm?

 

She sure looks like Usagi.

I wonder if my Usagi will be a beauty like that when she grows up.

Usagi:

Aaah!

Woman:

Oh, excuse me.

Usagi:

Oh no! (How mean!)

 

Bathroom, bathroom!

p. 136

Usagi:

Waah, I can't find the bathroom.

Luna, Ami-chan, Rei-chan. Where did you all go?

 

...After I went through the trouble of becoming a princess.

...I'm alone.

...And it's boring.

Tuxedo Mask:

Beautiful princess.

p. 137

Tuxedo Mask:

Be my partner for one song.

Usagi:

Tuxedo Mask!?

No way! How...?

...It's like a dream...

p. 138

Usagi:

I was just

thinking about how I wanted to see you.

Tuxedo Mask:

I was, too...

p. 139

Luna:

Usagi-chan!

Usagi:

Luna!

 

Tuxedo Mask?

Luna:

Princess D is inside.

Usagi:

...Somehow, my body...

has gotten so warm.

 

Well? Do you get anything, Luna?

Luna:

Nope... I don't sense anything... It must be someone else after all.

Usagi:

More importantly, where's the hidden treasure?

p. 140

Women:

What fun. Tonight's main event! The nation of D's mythical hidden treasure!

A chance like this doesn't come twice! I want to see it soon!

Man:

Princess D, you must be ready soon.

Princess D:

I get it.

Hey, interpreter over there.

Interpreter:

What is it, Princess D?

Princess D:

I still do not know the inside of the embassy well.

So if you could show me to my room.

 

...Everyone is just "hidden treasure hidden treasure."

 

If I were more beautiful...

In the end, I'm just an extra with the hidden treasure.

Interpreter:

Yes. There's no need for you.

p. 141

Interpreter:

The only thing we need is the mythical hidden treasure!!

Man:

Princess D? Are you ready...

Princess D:

I've gotten the mythical hidden treasure!!

 

You're in the way! Move it!

People:

Princess D!?

p. 142

People:

Princess D is acting strange!

 

Princess D has gone mad!

Luna:

Usagi-chan!! This is weird! Princess D is taking the hidden treasure to the balcony!

Usagi:

Princess D! Get a hold of yourself!

This is dangerous!

Princess D:

Let go of me!

Luna:

Usagi-chan!?

Usagi:

Noo...

p. 143

Tuxedo Mask:

...Kugh

Usagi:

Tuxedo Mask!!

Ami:

Usagi-chan!?

Usagi:

Ami-chan!?

Rei:

The look in the princess's eyes!

She is possessed! By an evil spirit-- No! By the enemy!!

p. 144

Princess D:

...Hehehe

Now, become our slaves. Make way.

All who defy us will become sacrifices to our Great Ruler.

Usagi:

Oh no!!

Luna:

Usagi-chan! Your pen!!

Usagi:

My pen!?

p. 145

Tuxedo Mask:

I guess today I was saved by you. I give my thanks.

Usagi:

Tuxedo Mask!!

p. 146

Usagi:

No, I'm the one who's always, always being saved by you.

 

Moon Prism Power

 

Make-Up!!

p. 147

Sailor Moon:

I'm not wearing my tiara!!

 

Oh no!

It vanished with him

during that battle the other day...!

 

Oh,

what's this?

My body is getting very warm.

 

Just like when I held hands

with Tuxedo Mask.

p. 148

Sailor Moon:

A new tiara!?

Sailor Mercury & Mars:

Usagi, you're late!

Sailor Moon:

Everyone...

is being sucked into the darkness!

 

Papa!?

Nephrite:

...Mwahaha. I, Nephrite, will take the mythical hidden treasure, and sacrifices for our Great Ruler!

p. 149

Sailor Mars:

Evil Spirit, Begone!!

 

No effect!?

Nephrite:

Mwahaha...

Tuxedo Mask:

Sailor Moon! To obliterate the darkness,

you must use a powerful light!

Sailor Moon:

Tuxedo Mask!?

p. 150

Luna:

Usagi-chan! Reflect the light of the Moon with your new tiara!

Hit Princess D!

Sailor Moon:

Possessing a princess is such a disgraceful act!

In the name of the Moon, Sailor Moon will deliver punishment!

 

Moon Twilight

Flash!!

p. 151

Nephrite:

Ohhhhh...

 

Eliminated!? (...Pssh.)

To think that damned Sailor Moon could eliminate my shadow...!

Princess D:

Mmm...

 

Ungh...

Girls:

Princess D!?

p. 152

Princess D:

...I'm?

What's been going on...?

 

My glasses. Without my glasses

I can't see at all.

Sailor Mercury:

...Say, you don't think Umino is also...

Sailor Moon:

Ehehe

Sailor Mars:

I-It couldn't be.

People:

Thank goodness. Now the dinner party can go back to normal.

Princess D must be tired.

Man:

Ladies and gentlemen, from Princess D,

the world's last mythical hidden treasure! The royal family's hidden treasure will be unveiled!

p. 153

Man:

It is a 2,000 karat diamond statue

of the very first princess of the nation of D!!

Sailor Mars:

...It kinda

seems like--

Sailor Mercury:

--it's not the right one,

I believe.

 

Oh, where's Usagi-chan?

Sailor Moon:

Ah, I've kinda used up my strength.

Juice, juice!

 

Ooh.

(hiccup)

This is

bretty good.

 

Oh, sorry...

p. 154

Sailor Moon:

(phew)

 

(hiccup)

Mmmmm... (hiccup)

p. 155

Someone:

...Oh...

 

This feeling

...is somehow familiar.

...Somewhere before...

p. 156

Someone:

So soft

...and warm.

Already...

Many times...

 

Such sweet lips...

Luna:

Get away from Usagi-chan!

 

Tuxedo Mask.

 

Who are you!?

 

Why do you always appear before us?

p. 157

Tuxedo Mask:

Because

I'm searching for the Mythical Silver Crystal too.

Luna:

Are you

 

an enemy?

Or an ally?

Tuxedo Mask:

...Who

knows.

 

If we're searching for the same thing,

 

we may be enemies, you know.

p. 158

Tuxedo Mask:

We may be enemies...

Girl:

A storm

is coming... eh?

p. 159
