"Isn't it a little inconsiderate to just shoo someone away like that?" "!" "I'm very busy right now, meow." "I don't have time to play with you, Kakipi, meow." "Well, it's just that twosome from before is hanging around town again." "Hopefully, they're not planning any mischief or anything..." ""That twosome?"" "Oh, those two." "What about them, meow?" "Well, you know..." "I was just thinking that... they might be up to something again." "You should use your special magic to discipline them!" "No." "No?" "!" ""No?" "!"" "Iori." "Miss Anzuko..." "This is shameful!" "At a time like this, when the livelihood of the people is being threatened." "By all rights, the one who just happens to be princess of the Kinka should..." "The princess of the Kinka?" "That's right!" "I'm the heir of King Mahtah of the Kinka!" "This isn't the time to be sitting around love struck!" "If I turn my back on evil, how can I call myself a princess?" "Or a QUEEN, meow?" "!" "Kakipi, let's go, meow!" "Whoa!" "WHOA-aaaaaa!" "Miss Anzuko is an unusually active girl." "Maybe she'd like this." "This isn't like you!" "Weren't you going out to buy a new measuring cup?" "Not like me?" "This isn't like me?" "No, it's not like you at all, Iori." "Not like me..." "A gift that says "me." Something only I can give." "Of course!" "That's it!" "She's come out!" "My adorable collector's item!" "STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" "With this plan, we get rid of the smell so that doggie... won't know where its territory is anymore, right?" "Just what I'd expect from you, Boss." "Conniving as ever." "Yeah, I feel good after doing something bad." "HEY!" "You villains who bring unhappiness to the people of the city!" "What are you up to this time, meow?" "!" "Um..." "My name is Nachos." "It's a pleasure to meet you." "Oh, how polite of you." "You idiot!" "Who bows to their enemy?" "!" "Our enemy?" "No way." "We can't work with this kind of interference." "Let's get outta here!" "You're not going anywhere, meow!" "Annoying little runt, aren't you?" "Who're you calling a runt, meow?" "!" "My name is Taruto!" "Taruto, meow!" "So, your name's Taruto." "What a sweet and adorable name you have!" "We don't have time to hang out with brats!" "You're not getting away, meow!" ""Please wait."" "Is it time yet, meow?" "I wonder if it will open soon, meow." "Princess!" "Princess, what are you doing?" "Can't you see, meow?" "It's a railroad crossing, meow." "The train's coming, meow." "A railroad crossing?" "That railroad crossing will never open!" "Huh...?" "You can wait for that train for the rest of your life!" "So long!" "Miss..." "Taruto..." "Nachos!" "?" "What're you doing?" "!" "Let's get outta here!" "Uh..." "R" " Right..." "What are you two doing?" "The princess kinda broke all of a sudden." "Look!" "There's a monkey choo-choo train going by!" "I'm sure she'll like this." "No." "It doesn't matter if she likes it or not." "It has to be "like me." Something no one but I can do." "Something that could only come from me." "Miss Anzuko." ""Miss Anzuko?" Is it possible that Iori...?" "Yo." "We meet again." "I'm so ashamed!" "And I'm the princess of the Kinka." "Now, now." "Don't be so depressed." "Princess, huh?" "If you were really the princess, you wouldn't have been... tricked by the likes of them, would you?" "Isn't that rather a mean thing to say?" "Chitose, how can you be so calm about this?" "It's your home that's hurt most by the trouble those two cause!" "I'm all right." "Just so long as Taruto's graceful tail is unharmed." "I'm so humiliated, meow." "Being defeated by magic like that!" "What those two use isn't magic!" "Tell me, tell me!" "What do you mean, it's not magic?" "The craft that villainous pair practices isn't magic." "I would say it's more like trickery." "Trickery?" "Exactly." "Methods of deception." "Trickery." "What is trickery, meow?" "How is it different from magic, meow?" "I want you to teach me, meow!" "Hmm, trickery is..." "Well, now, if I was to break it down into the simplest of terms..." "Basically..." "It's just phony magic, isn't it?" "In that case, I think it would be best to ask Miss Chiffon about it." "Come, shall we go?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Witch?" "There's a witch in this town?" "Yeah." "That's ridiculous." "Do you actually believe a rumor like that?" "It is just a rumor." "But still..." "Look." "Over there." "As opposed to that which we refer to as so-called "magic,"" "which involves making a physical object appear out of thin air, or being able to make some kind of supernatural phenomenon occur, trickery is the art of utilizing optical illusions... and confusion to mislead an opponent, making it appear as though some kind of... supernatural powers are being used." "To put it more simply, magic is a psychic ability... and trickery is deceptive slight of hand." "I see!" "So, that's what it is!" "According to the legend, among the two races... of the other world of Ganache, the Kinka used magic and the Byoh used trickery." "The revolt that occurred some time ago in Ganache... can be thought of as a coup d'etat that was devised by the Byoh... to eradicate the bloodline of the Kinka using brute force... because the Byoh were jealous of the magic powers possessed by the Kinka." "Of course, this is all supposing that Ganache actually exists." "I see." "Those Byoh are really bad guys, aren't they?" "So, since those two are using trickery, does that mean they're Byoh?" "And if so, why are they in this world?" "It's obvious!" "They've come to... assassinate the surviving princess of the Kinka!" "That's ridiculous." "For one thing, those two... were in this town before Taruto ever came here!" "And I don't think they have that kind of resolve." "Popular opinion suggests that many points in this world... are connected to Ganache by dimensional warps." "And secret travel between the worlds has supposedly gone on since time immemorial." "If you consider that their race and our race... have most likely commingled over the years, it would not be surprising to find there are those among us... with the potential to use the abilities of the Kinka or the Byoh." "You're saying that the blood of... the Kinka and the Byoh is in our blood, too?" "Yes." "Which means that just because someone can do something that... seems like magic, it doesn't mean they're the Kinka Princess, right?" "You could say that." "But I think it's more accurate to think of myths like the legend of Ganache... as stories that were created in order to retroactively explain... the occasional existence of those who possess such powers." "Myths?" "Yes, though I'm sorry to have to crush the dreams... of those who believe in the existence of Ganache." "I'm the princess of the Kinka!" "I'm a princess!" "I can use magic!" "Tell me, Master!" "Which is stronger?" "Magic or trickery?" "Huh?" "Well, magic, of course!" "When you can truly command the craft as I can, without any gimmicks or gadgets, then trickery is no problem at all!" "No gimmicks or gadgets, huh?" "Mr. Rakugan, can you really use magic?" "Wh" " What are you implying?" "!" "I..." "I am...!" "Master, I want you to teach me magic that'll beat those bad guys, meow." "The way I am now, I'll be embarrassed... when someone comes from the castle to get me!" "Well, um, you see..." "Magical knowledge is not something you can obtain in a day!" "Um..." "It's early to bed, early to rise, and requires a strict diet and dedication..." "Princess!" "To win you have to make the first move!" "Get them before they get you!" "Before they can use their phony magic!" "Right!" "Let's go find those two, meow!" "That's the spirit, Princess!" "The witch's mansion." "Also known as Castella Hall." "I can see it from our veranda." "I did think it looked kinda creepy." "I've been thinking of going exploring there sometime." "Exploring?" "Yeah." "Hey, Boss..." "Why are we always doing things that cause trouble for people?" "Well, we do it for Madam Willow, because she raised us... after we were abandoned in the garden of Castella Hall." "What else can we do?" "That's true, but... don't you think we also need to love people a little bit?" "Huh?" "But as a bad guy, I guess it's wrong for me to think that way." "Is the heat melting your brain or something?" "I found you!" "Miss Taruto!" "Shoot, that brat just doesn't learn." "How dare you trick me like that, meow!" "That's right, you creeps!" "We won't let you get away with trying to assassinate the princess!" "Princess?" "Assassinate?" "What are they talking about?" "Who knows?" "I'll show you what kinda magic I can do when I'm serious, meow!" "You're gonna find out the difference between magic and your phony trickery, meow!" "Huh?" "Hail Tiger!" "Ya!" "Ya!" "That's SERIOUS magic?" "Miss Taruto, are you okay?" "Do you want to use my handkerchief?" "You dope!" "What are you being so polite for?" "!" "We're busy here!" "We don't have the time to play with little runts like you!" "Boss!" "Wait!" "You're not getting away, meow!" "Hey!" "Don't make graffiti!" "Princess!" "You've gotta get rid of it!" "Hail Tiger..." "Disappear, graffiti!" ""Pitfall construction." "We apologize for the inconvenience."" "Hey!" "No digging holes, meow!" "Hail Tiger..." "Fill up the hole, meow!" "Princess, is it possible that you're helping them?" "Miss Taruto, you look cute in whatever you wear!" "Let's get outta here!" "Wait, meow!" "Are you okay?" "!" "That idiot!" "Thank you, meow!" "Oh, it was nothing!" "Well, I have work to do, so if you'll excuse me..." "Princess!" "You have to go after them!" "That's right, meow!" "Shoot!" "They're still after us!" "I wonder if she likes me?" "Don't talk stupid!" "Boss, are you using that one again?" "Ha-ha!" "You can just wait at that train crossing for the rest of your life!" "Look out!" "There's a train!" "Look, Nachos!" "She got hers!" "The train is coming!" "Um, Boss?" "Look." "Run for it, you two!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "M" " My foot!" "Boss!" "P" " Princess!" "Transport them somewhere else!" "Yeah!" "HAIL TIGER!" "YA!" "YA!" "I" " It's not working!" "Are you okay?" "!" "Heh, guess you caught me in a bit of an awkward position!" "It's time to call it a day." "Right!" "Bye, Miss Taruto!" "See you later!" "Done!" "It's done!" "Hey!" "No, meow!" "No, meow!" "Stand still!" "I said stand still!" "No, meow!" "No, meow!" "Will you just stand still!" "Stand still!" "Miss Anzuko!" "Iori!" "What a terrible nuisance!" "I'll have to stop for today." "Iori!" "Miss Anzuko!" "Um..." "These are some cakes I made." "I'd like you to try them." "You see..." "Well..." "Please, have some." "Here!" "I try not to eat food high in calories..." "Go on, help yourself." "Please try one." "This is...!" "H" " How is it?" "S" " Scrumptious!" "They're really, really scrumptious!" "Delicious!" "Marvelous!" "They're like magic!" "Magic?" "Th" " Thank goodness!" "I'm so glad!" "I couldn't use my magic right today, either." "Taruto, cheer up." "But even Iori can use magic." "Iori can?" "She said Iori's cake was like magic." "That's true, but that's a bit different from your magic, Taruto." "Yeah, but..." "Iori can't use magic." "And yet, he can, meow." "Huh?" "I wonder what "real magic" actually is." "Real magic..." "Round and round the little birds are Kuru kuru kotori wa" "Playing in the sky Sora de asobu yo" "Tra-la-la..."
