"That's right" "I saved a cat from being run over" "Now they're saying, in return, they want to take me to their kingdom" "In return?" "Heh, it figures, too kind for your own good" "You shouldn't have bothered" "Your mind is nasty as ever, Muta" "You can't appreciate the kindness which saved a cat" "And she is in trouble for it, right?" "Never mix in somebody else's business" "Where did you meet this girl?" "At the Crossroad place" "She already knew about this place" "Hmmm" "Uh, I heard a voice, though I don't know who it was" "A voice?" "You listened to some strange voice!" "?" "How naive can you get..." "Yeow!" "What are you doing?" "Why don't you hold your tongue!" "You stay out of this..!" "Don't fight because of me..." "You said your name was..?" "Oh, it's Haru."

"This is really good" "Then, you're lucky" "How can you drink green leaves?" "Too refined for your tongue, I bet" "Go catch a worm, bird" "Muta..." "Tell me about the Kingdom of Cats again" "That whole place is fake, a place for those who don't have a mind of their own" "Mind of their own..." "One of the Cat King's men said, they want me to marry their Prince..." "Why not?" "A cat's bride?" "What!" "?" "Might not be so bad" "This is going nowhere" "Could be an interesting experience" "I see" "I did want to visit the Kingdom of Cats once" "This might be a good opportunity" "How brave of you, Baron, but I think I'll give it a miss" "You are coming with me" "No thanks." "It's not my territory" "You're not taking her, are you?" "That won't be wise" "But I can't leave her here all alone" "Babysitting isn't my thing either" "Are you busy?" "Not really" "Um, I think I'll go home" "I'm just making trouble for all of you" "I started all this mess" "I have to solve this myself" "I see" "I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help" "Okay, okay, I'll do it" "I'll just hang around for a while" "You're a good cat, Muta!" "It's set then" "Haru, you can come back now" "But..." "Muta complains a lot but doesn't actually mean it" "I see" "He is actually nice then" "That's right" "I'm not listening" "Thank you for your help," "Moota" "Moota?" "Did you say Moo!" "?" "Are you saying I am a fat cow!" "No, you're just fat... oops!" "Ha ha." "This girl is not bad" "No way I am going to help!" "Didn't we have some delicious chiffon cake in the cupboard?" "Where?" "On the upper right shelf" "Why didn't you say so" "Let's have a piece before we start" "I'll go get my special mulberries then!" "It seems like this is going to be fun" "Let me help too" "Haru, you need to think about how you can learn to be yourself" "Then, you should have nothing to fear" "Okay" "Baron!" "Give me a hand." "I'm putting some whipped cream on top" "We're really going full-scale" "Of course we are" "Maybe, I'll find something here" "Yes" "Is that Toto at the door?" "Miss Haru, we have come for you" "No!" "What is this?" "Not good" "You promised to help me!" "Baron, horde of cats headed this way" "You're blind as a bat!" "After them!" "Miss Haru, we looked all over for you!" "I'm going home" "Careful!" "Let me off!" "Take me back!" "I am going back, this instant!" "You must be having pre-marriage blues" "I am not!" "Things got a bit out of hand" "Hey, you, wait, ouch, let go!" "Muta, and Baron!" "Let go, I'm telling you!" "Toto, now!" "Don't let go!" "Why did we get out of the way!" "No choice" "I'm really mad now!" "Yeay!" "This is over the weight limit!" "Toto!" "I see it" "Where are you going!" "?" "Out-maneuvered" "Go up" "OK" "Now what?" "The wind." "Follow the lights" "OK!" "Ooooh..." "I landed on my back..." "Why?" "Where am I?" "Muta?" "Did you get bigger?" "No, you got smaller" "Why?" "Because we're here" "This is the Kingdom of Cats?" "This is it" "Wow, cats really live here" "Well, this is their kingdom, you know" "Hey, come on" "Ahh, it's so nice and relaxing here" "We should find a way out and go back" "Just a little longer" "Let's get going" "But... it feels so nice" "No!" "You must go back at once" "Hurry." "Run away!" "Hey, what a pretty cat" "Even the cats are prettier here" "Please, you have no time to lose!" "Haru, you are not meant to be here" "Why do you know my name?" "Miss Haru!" "It's that cat again" "I am so relieved to find you" "Seems we dropped you when coming in" "Your servant exceeded our weight limit" "Servant!" "?" "No no, this is Muta" "Shall we?" "A banquet is being prepared in your honor" "You are welcome to join us." "Moota" "Moota?" "Moo?" "But I..." "His Majesty is waiting at the palace" "Palace?" "The palace is right over there" "Oh, really" "Yes, indeed" "Hey, you're not thinking of..." "Maybe it's rude not to greet the King first" "Are you out of your mind?" "Let's go!" "Please, this way" "Wait" "Can she come with us?" "What is your name?" "Yuki, sir." "I serve at the royal table" "So you work at the palace" "Miss Haru, you'll see her later" "Okay, I'll see you again" "Haru" "What's that?" "Creepy!" "There's my future daughter-in-law" "Well, I must go see her in person!" "He's strangely familiar" "Please change before meeting the King" "I need to change clothes?" "Please wait in the next room" "Why can't I go in with her?" "Don't be gross" "Gross?" "We prepared refreshments for you" "Okay, I'll wait" "Not bad" "The dress is very becoming on you" "Prince Lune is the idol of all female cats in this Kingdom" "You'll be very happy with him" "Really?" "I mean, no, that's not why I'm here" "You look lovely" "You are the purrfect bride for Lune" "Natoru, who is that cat?" "A servant named Moota, I believe" "Moota?" "Never heard of him" "No match for my stomach" "Um." "I am sorry but" "I can't really accept marriage to..." "I thought you already said yes?" "That was what I was told" "Where is the Prince?" "He is away at an official function" "Anyway, I don't really know him" "And the Prince, he is a cat, right?" "I'm not a cat, so I can't marry him" "That, you don't need to worry about" "You already are a cat" "Wow, real cat ears" "I'm a CAT!" "Muta, where are you?" "What happened to him?" "He insisted on having a bowl full and dunked himself in catnip jelly" "He didn't have to die like this!" "Muta, how could you do this to me?" "...the banquet is ready to begin" "No!" "I don't want to leave him" "Then, he will come with us" "Is this Miss Haru?" "She has a perfect pair of ears!" "Such full, attractive paws!" "I was told you don't like mice, so I have prepared fresh fish for you" "Miss Haru doesn't seem pleased" "What do we have for entertainment?" "I will bring them in" "I want something more amusing" "Next!" "Can't you do anything better!" "?" "I shall amuse Miss Haru" "What should we do?" "Why not?" "Shall we dance?" "I can't dance meow" "Oh no, I even sound like a cat!" "...trust me" "They dance well together" "What is this..." "I never felt like this before" "Being a cat might not be that bad" "No, Haru." "Don't lose yourself" "You must learn to be yourself" "I already told you that, didn't I?" "You are..." "Stop this music!" "You suspicious cat" "Exactly who are you?" "Apologies for my belated introduction" "There is nothing to fear" "I am Humbert von Gikkingen" "I have come for Haru" "Baron!" "Can this be?" "What?" "No way" "Guards, get him!" "I can't eat anymore" "It's alive!" "Yeay, Muta, you're alive" "Uh oh" "Stop, you scoundrel!" "Take His Majesty to a safe place!" "Don't let him get away" "Guests' emergency exit this way" "Out of my way!" "Muta, you're strong!" "I didn't start it" "This way" "You're the cat..." "Baron, I knew you would come" "How do you know me?" "I've heard about you and your Office" "If I had listened to you, this wouldn't have happened" "If you leave before dawn, you can still become human" "Really?" "A secret passage to the outside" "This is convenient" "What about Muta?" "He'll be all right." "Haru, hurry" "Yes" "This is the back of the castle" "Top of that tower leads to the exit" "It's so tall!" "You must go through the ruins to the tower and then climb up" "We'll make it" "Good." "Please take care of Haru" "Wait" "She is gone." "I haven't even thanked her yet" "Haru, this is just my guess but isn't she the one who led you to me?" "Haru, the Cat Business Office" "Yes, that beautiful voice was hers" "But why?" "Because of you, I almost died" "Must hurry now" "Right" "You guys, listen to me" "Did they go in?" "Yes, Your Majesty" "Purrfect" "That labyrinth was built with our state-of-the-art technology" "We'll enjoy the view from here" "Tricky" "The sun is still high, though" "It's always daytime here" "What?" "It is?" "It's probably past midnight outside" "Then, we have to hurry!" "This way?" "That way?" "Which way should we go?" "They are lost" "It won't be easy to get out of there" "Right, Your Majesty?" "Yes... we have nothing to worry about" "Where are the soldiers?" "Over there" "Let's go this way" "We must keep trying, one by one" "Keep your eyes on the tower" "You won't lose your way" "Smart" "Muta, you're cheating" "Why get lost just 'cause it's a maze" "There he is!" "Why does it have to be me?" "Let's hurry while he keeps them busy" "Right" "Why do I have to be the bait!" "Get back, Haru!" "You're strong!" "Your cane got bent?" "I was going to buy a new one anyway" "Used is best" "Nice shot!" "It hit one of ours!" "What?" "Your Majesty, how could you?" "Don't tell anyone, okay?" "Excuse me, sir" "Our men are all scattered" "They are all lost" "Where is Haru?" "They already got that far!" "Hi!" "Welcome back" "How's that way?" "It's a dead end" "Everything as planned" "Is this another dead end?" "It's getting more difficult" "Something's wrong!" "There was no wall here a minute ago" "It must be your imagination" "No, we walked through here" "Are you saying that walls have feet?" "This is no wall" "It's fake" "See?" "Good work, Haru!" "What is all this?" "I told them not to get in line!" "They are getting away!" "Your Majesty, wait!" "Go ahead, I'll catch up with you" "Show off!" "No, Baron..." "Don't worry!" "Your Majesty, please, it's dangerous" "I can't let this happen!" "I have soldiers waiting in the tower, just in case" "Brilliant move!" "Good. good" "I'm afraid the tower's getting old..." "This is not good at all!" "We have no choice but use THAT" "What?" "No, not that!" "If you do that, Your Majesty, your image will go to shambles" "Give me the button!" "There is no such thing here" "Here's the remote control" "Yeay, we came out to an opening" "Just a bit more" "Now!" "What?" "Hold on!" "That was a great spectacle!" "Let's go!" "We're back on the ground" "Let's see how things go" "We have no choice" "Come on, come on" "Gikkingen, nice to see you again" "Haru!" "We'll go back to the castle right away" "Being a cat is not so bad" "Do I have to learn to like mice?" "It's too early to give up" "What's all this?" "Father!" "Lune, you're back already?" "His Highness the Prince!" "As you were!" "Prince?" "I hurried back thanks to Yuki" "What is all this?" "Haru" "Oh, Yuki" "I'm glad we made it" "Err, I just wanted to thank her" "I thought you'd be happy to have Haru as your bride" "You don't need to worry about me" "I want to marry Yuki" "What!" "?" "Looks like news to everyone" "This Prince is not bad" "Yuki, look" "I went to your old home to find this" "Oh, could this be what I think it is?" "Those cookies..." "I used to love those" "That's right" "These are the fish cookies you gave me when I was an orphan kitten" "That kitten, that was you!" "You're so beautiful now that I didn't recognize you" "Yuki" "Will you accept these as a token of our life together from now on" "That means you two are getting married?" "Oh, I am so happy for you Yuki!" "Thank you, Haru!" "If I hadn't met you then," "I could have starved on the streets" "You also saved me from danger" "I didn't know you were the person Yuki told me so much about" "You saved both of our lives" "How can we thank you?" "I don't want anything" "You two made me so happy already" "Saving a cat was a good thing" "This is such a moving sight" "So you already had a fiancée" "I didn't know, but that is all right" "Haru, you must be disappointed" "Not really" "No need to be polite." "If you can't marry my son, why don't you marry me?" "You can eat all the cookies and fishes you want" "How about it?" "Just put me back to the way I was" "That depends on your answer" "Are you out of your mind!" "?" "Of course I don't want to marry you" "You pervert!" "Why can't you?" "This is hilarious!" "It's out of the question!" "I admire a woman with a mind of her own" "You found yourself an ally" "I, Renaldo Moon will lend you a hand!" "Renaldo?" "Renaldo Moon?" "That Renaldo Moon?" "That's it!" "Who?" "Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?" "The worst, most notorious crime in this Kingdom's history!" "A cat suddenly came from nowhere and devoured all the fish in the lake and escaped the criminal of the century, Renaldo Moon!" "Unbelievable..." "He's a monster" "Muta, you did this?" "Disgraceful" "I'll eat the whole castle this time!" "Take His Majesty to a safe place!" "No!" "Men, protect Haru" "Yes, sir" "All forward!" "Get that culprit!" "Your Majesty!" "Leave my father to me" "Everybody. please run" "But the tower has fallen" "It's still connected to the other side" "Strange..." "Oh no, it's dawn" "Leave it to me!" "What?" "Are you... doing!" "?" "Don't!" "Haru, run!" "We'll be right behind you!" "Take care!" "You too" "Thanks, Yuki" "I wasn't wrong" "Saving a cat, feeling lost and down, that was all part of finding out who I am" "You go ahead!" "Thanks" "Where is Father?" "Up there" "Father, you'll hurt yourself." "Please come down" "What a rash thing to do" "I will bring His Majesty back down" "We'll settle this with a duel!" "My pleasure!" "Baron!" "Take care of Haru!" "Right" "I win, King" "Drat!" "I've heard about a statue of a cat that doesn't mind his own business" "Had no idea you were this good" "I heard you were just a window display standing in some back alley" "You should have come to my Kingdom and joined me" "Unfortunately, I'm quite happy with my present way of life" "Where am I!" "?" "What did you do?" "I didn't do a thing" "With the tower collapsed this much," "I wouldn't be surprised if the exit moved to a different point" "I must go!" "Miss Haru!" "I should have foreseen this" "But look!" "Haru is human again!" "I think I'm going to fall" "Oh no, I'm falling" "I'm going down!" "Haru!" "Muta, please don't say I'm heavy" "Hang on... but next time... lose some weight!" "I can't hold on!" "Haru!" "I'm going to die!" "You're not dead yet!" "Open your eyes!" "Baron?" "Straighten up and look down!" "I can't!" "Trust me!" "Are we... still alive?" "Yes!" "I think so!" "You know what?" "We look fantastic!" "What is this?" "There are so many of them" "We're saved" "Hey, Muta!" "How is it, being saved by birds?" "Toto!" "Oh, it's lousy black bird" "Thanks for saving us, Toto" "Glad I had my friends waiting up here" "Doesn't it hurt walking on them?" "You're light as a feather." "Haru" "Really?" "I disagree" "Look, Haru!" "It's my school!" "I'm home." "I was able to come back!" "Everybody, thank you so much!" "Yes!" "They made it!" "Hooray, Miss Haru!" "I'm relieved" "Take care, Haru!" "Your Majesty!" "Natori" "My time on the throne is over" "Then I must resign with you" "Toto, thank you" "My heart is still pounding" "Of course" "But it was a bit fun" "Yeah, right" "Haru has to go to school, so she'd better go home and rest" "Yeah" "Is this going to be goodbye?" "Must do one last thing" "Baron, I might have a crush on you" "I admire your sincerity, Haru" "Haru, when you really need us, our doors will open to you again" "Until then, goodbye!" "Goodbye" "Thank you!" "Baron!" "Toto!" "You too." "Muta!" "What do you mean, me too?" "Me too?" "Oh no, better get up" "Morning" "Why are you up so early?" "Today is Sunday" "I'm going to the movies with Hiromi" "Going early before it gets crowded" "I better get going" "I made eggs and salad for you" "What?" "I already ate so please help yourself" "There is also English tea in the pot" "And about the tea" "That's Haru's special blend" "It's a bit different each time, so no guarantees about the flavor" "I see..." "Hey, smells good" "Haru!" "News from a reliable source!" "What's the big fuss about?" "Machida, he broke up!" "Oh. he did, huh?" "What kind of reaction is that?" "What?" "Don't you have more to say than that?" "No" "It doesn't matter anymore" "Did something happen, Haru?" "No" "You're lying" "No, honestly" "How about you, Hiromi?" "What?" "How is it going with you and Tsuge?"
