Hi, everyone, This is just a quick note to let you know I'm still around. I've been extra busy (and extra tired) lately, but I'll be back with more translations as soon as possible.

Saint Seiya: Dark Wing Chapter 43: An Ordinary Girl

Page 1

Eulalia: - You're quitting - the Saints of Athena?!

Page 2

Eulalia: - Don't tell me - you're joining the Clowns?!

Soujiro: - No, no. - I have no intention to serve Yaldabaoth. - I want to protect Cattleya, - but not as a Saint of Athena. - I want to protect her as an ordinary girl.

Eulalia: - ...

Page 3

Soujiro: - (Just as I thought. For Eulalia,) - (this ended up being a declaration of hostility...)

Eulalia: - The current Athena - is a shy, sweet, average girl… - Is that why?

Soujiro: - Yeah. - I started training to be a Saint - because I wanted to protect her.

Page 4

Soujiro: - Sanctuary, - and the Pope - probably won't approve of it. - So... I'll kidnap Athena, - and force her to lead an ordinary life. - I'll become a traitor.

Eulalia: - You realize that's a path of thorns, right? - You'd have to cross the Twelve Temples of Sanctuary, - before you could make your way to the Temple of Athena.

Soujiro: - I know.

???: - Soujiro… - Let me help you.

Page 5

Soujiro: - Sho…

Shoichiro: - I've been worried about it too. - About Cattleya having to act as a goddess… - So let me help you.

Yoruhime: - (Sigh...) - For the Gemini Gold Saint and the Celestial Fierce Star Wyvern to attack the Twelve Temples… - That's practically war, isn't it?

Shoichiro & Soujiro: - Ah!...

Page 6

Eulalia: - (Heheh...) - Well, - not that I don't get where you're coming from... - but we Gold Saints are super strong, you know? - So, - both of you should do your best to recover now! - I'll tell the other Gold Saints - that you're not rebelling out of evil intentions, but… - I hope you don't think it will be easy - to conquer the Twelve Temples.

Soujiro: - Eulalia…

Yoruhime: - In any case… - You two should rest. - (Sigh...) - You two just fought off a god. - Your bodies, minds and cosmos are in tatters.

Shoichiro: - (Uhhh...)

Page 7

Eulalia: - That's right! - You should take the time to recover in full like me! - (Heheh…)

Soujiro: - Yeah, yeah…

Esther: - This is kind of like having two mothers. - Double moms.

Yoruhime: - A mother?!

Eulalia: - What do you mean, mom?!

Esther: - Ah... - With two dangerous guys teaming up to conquer the Twelve Temples, - I got carried away and spoke out of turn.

Page 8

Shoichiro: - (Soujiro...)

Soujiro: - (Sho...)

Shoichiro & Soujiro: - (Let's go together...) - (...to destroy the fate of the Gods.)

(Ding dong…)

Page 9

(Ding dong…)

Students: - Finally, it's over! - Good job, guys! - Hey hey! About that thing yesterday... - Wah! - Hahahahah!

Shoichiro: - (Back when I enrolled at this school, I never imagined...) - (...that I'd become a Specter) - (or that I'd be fighting against gods.)

Page 10

Shoichiro: - (Some school life...) - (Huh...)

Students: - (Yeah! Yeah!) - (Go Cattleya!)

Shoichiro: - (Under normal circumstances, Cattleya…) - (...would have had a life like that too.) - (I want to give it back to her somehow...) - (To do that, I'll have to climb to the highest point of Sanctuary in Greece.) - (I have to get to the Temple of Athena.)

Page 11

Shoichiro: - (Back then, Athena's barrier was weakened, so we were able to teleport there, but...) - (...the barrier has been reinforced.) - (To get there now...) - (...we have no choice but to conquer the Twelve Temples that are guarded by the Gold Saints.) - (The Gold Saints…)

Page 12

Shoichiro: - (They're as strong as Soujiro, or stronger.) - (We have to fight eleven of them…?) - (And, like Kuzuryuu...) - (...some of them might be on Demiurgos's side too.)

Vassilios: - No need to be so nervous.

Page 13

Shoichiro: - (He did it again!) - (I didn't feel his presence at all!…)

Vassilios: - I heard the story from Soujiro. - The two of you are going to challenge the Twelve Temples - to kidnap Athena?

Shoichiro: - Yes… - That's the plan.

Vassilios: - Hmm…

Pages 14 + 15

Vassilios: - It's not a very good plan, you know? - Even if you are one of the three Judges of the Underworld... - ...your strength is on par with that of a Gold Saint. - Even teaming up with Soujiro, - it will be tough to keep fighting equally strong opponents, one after the next. - (Hahaha!) - We Gold Saints... - ...will never lose to you.

Page 16

Shoichiro: - (The cosmo of a Gold Saint...) - (As expected, it's staggering!...)

Vassilios: - So I have a suggestion. - How about you let me talk it over - with your beautiful fellow Specters?

Shoichiro: - ...?!

Can you do a translation of the Galaxian Encyclopedia? It can be found on BookWalker for a few dollars!

Access to it isn't really the problem. I'm procrastinating on that one because I find it super boring to translate. It still hasn't left the possible to-do list though.

Saint Mariya Chapter 4

Page 2

Mariya: - (This is the Silver… Lizard Card.) - (My first capture…) - (What is this… excitement?) - (My heart is racing…)

(Phone vibrates)

Kiki: - Mariya! Hold the card in front of your smartphone!!

Mariya: - Kiki!

Page 3

Mariya: - Whoa!

Kiki: - Well done! - The Cloth was safely sealed. - Thank you.

Page 4

Mariya: - Ah! - Aries! Please go check on Set! - I'll check that blue rose… - (My body feels so heavy. I can't walk!!)

Aries: - Ma- - Mariya!!

Mariya: - (Huff...)

Kiki: - It's only to be expected. - The Comet Fist she used is a derivative of the Meteor Fist.

Page 5

Kiki: - Her fatigue… - …would not be on the same level as usual.

Aries: - Mariya, you take precedence over Setsuna! - Recovery!!

Mariya: - That's amazing!! My wounds are gone! - (It doesn't hurt anymore!) - Even the tattered Cloth…

Page 6

Aries: - (Huff…) - It looks like you're back to normal, but… - ...my power "repairs". It doesn't "heal". - (Huff…) - I can't replenish the blood you lost, so you should be careful that you don't get anemic.

Mariya: - Thank you.

Adonis: - Alraune… - Attack.

Queen: - !! - As you wish.

Page 7

Mariya: - Huh? - !

Page 8

Mariya: - What's that? - Set!!

Page 9

Queen: - I am Queen of the Celestial Demon Star Alraune. - A rightful Specter of the 108 Evil Stars of the Underworld Army.

Aries: - Mariya, brace yourself! - He's on a different level from the Skeletons you've fought so far. - If you're not careful, you'll die!

Queen: - Alraunes grow beneath guillotines. - The upper half of their body is a young maiden, and the lower half a poisonous flower. - They're bewitching flowers that feed on human blood!!

Page 10

Queen: - This girl will now become a sacrifice to amplify my power! - Come forth, Guillotine of the Bewitching Flower!!

Mariya: - Stop!!

Page 11

Mariya: - Aries!!

Aries: - Ugh! - I'll protect Setsuna!! - You defeat Alraune!! - My Crystal Wall won't hold for long! - So hurry, Mariya!!

Page 12

Mariya: - I will never forgive you if anything happens to Set or Aries!!

Queen: - Heheh… - I wonder how long that soap bubble will last… - I'll cut off your head along with hers. - Let's fight, Pegasus!

Page 13

Queen: - Show me how me you make the blood flower bloom!!

Mariya: - I won't!

Page 14

Mariya: - Pegasus Meteor Fist!!

Queen: - Hah! - You call these meteors? - I can knock them all down! - Behold the dance of my bewitching flowers!!

Page 15

Mariya: - !! - Kyaaah! - Aaah!

Queen: - Take this! My ultimate technique!

Page 16

Queen: - Blood Flower Scissors!!

Page 17

Aries: - Mariya!!

Kiki: - Ngh!

Queen: - Hah! - Well that was unexpectedly disappointing. - She may have been a Saint, but she was still just a little girl… - She was no match for a Specter.

Mariya: - It's not… - …over yet.

Page 18

Mariya: - Pegasus Meteor Fist!!

Queen: - Ugh!

Mariya: - (Huff…) - What… did you think of this one?

Page 19

Queen: - A clever little trick… - …but it won't work on my bewitching flower!!

Mariya: - I wasn't aiming at you!!

Page 20

Mariya: - Pegasus Meteor Fist!!

Page 21

Aries: - You did it, Mariya!!

Queen: - Impossible! She destroyed the guillotine I materialized with my cosmo… - Where did this little girl who can barely stand get such power?!

Page 22

Mariya: - How can you be so callous about attacking people who are weaker than you?

Queen: - !

Mariya: - You dragged into this all these people who had nothing to do with it… - You treated their lives as toys… - It's unforgivable!

Page 23

Mariya: - You know, Set… - She's the kindest person I know, and she'd never hurt anyone. - How can you attack someone like her?! - (Guwah!) - I'm going to defeat you!!

Page 24

Queen: - (Grrr!) - Impudent brat… but your techniques won't work on me!! - This time, I'll be sure to take your head!! - Blood Flower Sci—!

Mariya: - !

Page 25

Queen: - What?!

Mariya: - What is this? - A shield… of wind?

Aries: - That technique!

Kiki: - The sealed card is resonating… - I see!

Page 26

Misty: - I entrusted it to you. - Go ahead and use my power… - …to protect what's precious…

Page 27

Mariya: - Use it?… But I'm the Pegasus…

Kiki: - Mariya, listen to me. - If a Cloth has recognized you… - …you can borrow the power of the sealed Card!! - Use your cosmo to synchronize with the Lizard Cloth!!

Page 28

Mariya: - (Please… lend me your power.) - Lizard update!! - Login!

Page 29

Queen: - Ugh!

Mariya: - Mavrou Trypa!!

Page 30

Queen: - Gwaaah!! - I… don't believe it.

Page 31

Mariya: - I did it…

Aries: - Mariya! - (Huff…) - Mariya… I'll help you recover right away! - (!!) - N—no way… - This is the worst timing…

Page 32

Mariya: - (!!) - (Ehh?!) - A golden fish?!

Aries: - It's out of control!!

Saint Seiya: Dark Wing Chapter 42: The Fate-Breaking Twins

Page 1

-

Page 2

Soujiro: - I couldn't do it. - I couldn't take Cattleya away, - or make the decision to help her escape her fate. - So I chose to protect her as a Gold Saint. - I chose to stand by her side, always.

Page 3

Cattleya: - (Argh… I'm exhausted…) - (Completely worn out…)

Soujiro: - So… - If I accept Yaldabaoth… - ...maybe... - ...I could free Cattleya from Athena's fate...

Page 4

Yaldabaoth: - Those doubts... - ...are the reason I lost, aren't they?

Page 5

Yaldabaoth: - His cosmo has the power of determination. - It hasn't reached the level of a god yet, - but every worry... - every hardship... - Each time he overcomes these things, - he becomes stronger.

Soujiro: - I could never have a cosmo like that. - I always have so many doubts.

Page 6

Yaldabaoth: - I probably lost this bout - because of your indecision. - As a result, I almost died.

Soujiro: - (Huh…) - He didn't even hesitate to attack his younger brother's body, huh?

Yaldabaoth: - That surprised me too.

Soujiro: - Heheh…

Page 7

Soujiro: - I suppose an older brother is an older brother. - He's got to set a good example for his younger brother. - I'm taking my body back, - Yaldabaoth!

Yaldabaoth: - Oh?

Page 8

Yaldabaoth: - With all the things you love in the world... - ...your brother, your childhood friend, your comrades… - ...you must resent the rule of the gods.

Soujiro: - I do. - I can't forgive it, - and I won't. - I know that Athena loves this world, - and that she wants to protect it. - But… - ...what's going to happen to Cattleya when she fully becomes Athena? - What about her life? - Her future?

Page 9

Soujiro: - It's wrong - that she can't be happy like everybody else - just because she's the vessel for the soul of a god.

Page 10

Soujiro: - And that's all - the fault of the gods who target the earth.

Yaldabaoth: - That's right. - The gods are to blame for all of it.

Soujiro: - So I've made up my mind. - I've decided.

Page 11

Soujiro: - I'm going to free Cattleya from Sanctuary. - I'm going to let her live an ordinary life.

Page 12

Soujiro: - And if anyone disturbs Cattleya's peace, - whether they're a warrior of any kind or a god… - …even Athena herself, I will crush them!!

Page 13

Yaldabaoth: - Intense - love and hatred… - A cosmo that transcends these opposing dualities…

Page 14

Yaldabaoth: - Show this god what that's like!!

Soujiro: - Wooooohh!!!

Page 15

Yaldabaoth: - … - (Hn...)

Soujiro: - (Ah!) - ! - The Gold Cloth… - It's not supposed to break…

Yaldabaoth: - What you shattered wasn't the Gold Cloth.

Page 16

Yaldabaoth: - What you shattered - was the fate that bound you. - You don't have to follow along. - You don't have to follow the rules either. - You and your brother…

Page 17

Yaldabaoth: - …are "Fate Breakers"! - That's what you were born to do!

Page 18

Soujiro: - Yaldabaoth… - Thank you.

Page 19

Soujiro: - I will tread my own path. - No matter what…

Page 20

Soujiro: - No matter who... - ...becomes my enemy because of it…

Narration: - On that day, just before dawn, - a great star streaked across the sky.

Page 21

Narration: - It could be seen from the rooftop of a Japanese school, - from a beach near Sanctuary, - and even from the Temple of Athena in Sanctuary…

Page 22

Narration: - It was quite a mysterious, - large shooting star.

Page 23

Soujiro: - Hmm… - Ow!

Eulalia: - Oh! - You're awake!!

Page 24

Eulalia: - Are you back to being Soujiro again? - Or are you still a god?

Soujiro: - Eulalia? - Yeah… - (Heh…) - I'm a god all right. Deal with it. - (Heheh…)

Eulalia: - (Pfft!) - Not the time for such a dark joke! - (Hahahah!) - (giggle giggle)

Page 25

Soujiro: - That's… - Sho and…

Eulalia: - I think… - …his name is Lucas? - He was a virtuoso and sincere pianist, - but he was actually the Celestial Noble Star Gryphon, - so I beat him to a pulp! - (Heheh!)

Page 26

Soujiro: - What about Vassilios and… the Clowns?

Vassilios: - (Yes!!)

Eulalia: - Vassilios went to the convenience store to buy me breakfast, - and to score some anime goods from the store's lottery. - I don't know about the Clowns. - Since their god disappeared, - I suppose they ran away.

Soujiro: - I see… - Thanks, Eulalia. - (Phew…)

Page 27

Soujiro: - (What do I do now?) - (Eulalia is descended from a long line of distinguished Saints.) - (If I take Cattleya away from Sanctuary,) - (and say that I want her to lead a normal life,) - (Eulalia would probably turn against me.)

Page 28

Soujiro: - (Sho, Tsukishima and the others would probably be fine with it, but…) - (…other Specters might come for Athena's life.) - (There would be assassins from Sanctuary,) - (Hades's Army…)

Page 29

Soujiro: - (…and the Clowns too.) - (What should I do?...)

Eulalia: - Is something bothering you?

Page 30

Soujiro: - Yeah… - I guess… - …

Eulalia: - ...Soujiro?

Page 31

Eulalia: - ? - Soujiro? - What's wrong?

Soujiro: - I intend to tell everybody else afterwards too, but… - …I'll tell you first, Eulalia.

Page 32

Soujiro: - I'm quitting my position as a Saint of Athena.

Eulalia: - What…?

Page 2

(Sign: End of the line)

PA: - This way to the Miracle Blue Rose Exhibition. - Next, please!

Setsuna: - Whoa! So many blue roses!

Mariya: - It's like the whole world is blue! It's so pretty!!

Page 3

Mariya: - So the one inside this case is the "Miracle Blue Rose"?… - Why is this the only one that's called a miracle? - (There are blue roses like it everywhere…)

Setsuna: - Mariya, blue roses don't occur in nature. - The ones around us were dyed blue with colored water.

Mariya: - Oh…

Setsuna: - Roses don't have any blue pigment, you see? - They turn gray or purple if you modify their genes. - That's why in the language of flowers, a blue rose means "miracle".

Mariya: - Then… is this one a fake too? - What makes it different from the others?

Setsuna: - (Yeah…) - It's in a glass pot… - Maybe they're making it appear blue by refracting the light or something.

Mariya: - Oh, I see!

Page 4

Aries: - (Mariya… this rose is real.) - (I feel its cosmo!!)

Mariya: - (Huh?! I can hear Aries's voice inside my head…) - (You're not talking, are you?) - (How am I hearing you?!)

Aries: - (I'm speaking directly to your brain using cosmo.)

Mariya: - What?! - (You can do that?!)

Setsuna: - What's wrong? Why do you have a plushie, Mariya?…

Mariya: - Huh?! - Well!

Setsuna: - Such a cute little sheep! Where did you get it?

Mariya: - Oh… I got him at the store by the entrance… I think. - (Hahahah…)

Page 5

Setsuna: - (Hmmm…) - At the entrance?… Oh, I guess I fell asleep while I was waiting for you… - I don't really remember it.

Mariya: - (Um… ah… er…)

(The one who altered and fixed her memory.)

Mariya: - (Oh!) - Set, I need to go to the bathroom! - I'll be right back. You keep exploring the exhibit!

Setsuna: - Don't you want me to go with you?

Mariya: - But Set, you were so looking forward to this! - It's okay, just take the time to enjoy the sights!

Setsuna: - Okay! Thanks, Mariya!

Page 6

Aries: - Mariya… that rose is a card. - And it's a pretty powerful one too… - But I'm also sensing the presence of another card. - Transform into Pegasus and get ready for battle! - Get out your smartphone, Mariya.

Mariya: - Okay. - What are you going to do with it?

Aries: - Hold on to it!

Page 7

Aries: - Convert!!!

Mariya: - Whoa!

Aries: - I connected your smartphone to Sanctuary. - You can use it to contact the Pope. - You can call Pegasus by plugging this clavis into the smartphone. - I've digitized the card, so you can use it to turn into a Saint.

Mariya: - Oh! It's a USB memory stick!

Aries: - Normally, you would wear it as a bracelet.

Page 8

(Phone rings)

Mariya: - Whoa!!

Kiki: - Mariya! Can you hear me?!

Mariya: - Kiki?!

Kiki: - A cloth has gone rogue in the Rose Garden!! - You have to transform and head there immediately! - Please!!

Mariya: - You got it!

Page 9

Mariya: - Set clavis!! - (click)

Page 10

Mariya: - Login! - Pegasus Mariya is on the scene!!

Page 11

Aries: - Let's hurry back! - I can feel an incredibly powerful cosmo!!

Mariya: - Right! - (Please be safe…) - (...Set!!)

Specter: - Are you absolutely sure about this?

Pages 12 + 13

Adonis: - It doesn't matter… I want to see her true power. - Even if we keep our distance… - …there is a perfectly suitable card here we can use to measure her strength.

Page 14

Mariya: - Are they all… dead?

Aries: - No, they're out cold. They're fine.

Mariya: - (Ugh!) - We're getting blown away by an incredible force. - I wonder if Set's okay?…

Aries: - Anyway, let's hurry! - Mariya, focus on retrieving the card. - Leave all the recovery efforts to me!

Page 15

Mariya: - The wind… - It feels like it's piercing my body.

Aries: - (Ah!)

Page 16

Aries: - Mariya! Above you!!

Mariya: - (Ack!!) - A lizard monster?!

Page 17

Mariya: - Aah! - What the… that came out of nowhere!! - That's dangerous!!

Aries: - Oh no, this is bad… this is really bad, Mariya!

Mariya: - Huh?

Page 18

Aries: - That's the Lizard constellation! - It's a card that can control the wind!! - Cards are their own individuals. - Some are friendly, others are aggressive, and so on. - Without Athena's blessing, a card without a master goes wild and rampages.

Mariya: - Then… - That one's…

Page 19

Mariya: - It's definitely the aggressive type! - I'll be dead if it hits me even once!! - (Ngggh!) - I'm done for if this keeps up!! - I just have to defeat that thing, right?!

Page 20

Mariya: - Pegasus… - …Meteor Fist!! - Wha…?!

Page 21

Mariya: - The Meteor Fist… - …bounced off of something?

Aries: - It was deflected by a wall of wind! - There's another reason why your attacks are having trouble getting through, Mariya. - There are three ranks of cards. - Bronze, Silver, and Gold. - Lizard is Silver, while Pegasus is Bronze.

Pages 22 + 23

Aries: - The difference in power between them… - …is like that between an adult and a child!! - Mariya, here it comes!!

Mariya: - ! - (It's way too fast!!)

Page 24

Mariya: - (Aghah!)

Aries: - Mariya!!

Mariya: - (Cough!) - (Ugh!) - Uh…

Page 25

Mariya: - Set!! - Set!! - Set!!

Aries: - Mariya!! Move out of the way!!

Page 26

Mariya: - (No! If I do…) - (…Set will get hit!!) - (Besides, I have to protect this blue rose…) - (It brings smiles to so many people's faces…) - (…because it's a miracle blue rose.)

Page 27

Mariya: - (I will never…) - (…run away!) - (I'll show you that I can make a miracle too!!)

Aries: - !!

Mariya: - Lend me your strength, Pegasus!!

Page 28

Aries: - (That's no meteor…) - (That's a comet!!)

Lizard: - !!

Page 29

Aries: - (A card without a master cannot unleash its full power…) - (…but it's still hard to believe she managed to surpass a Silver just now!)

Kiki: - (What amazing potential!…)

Aries: - (We might be able to retrieve the card now.)

(Phone rings)

Mariya: - !

Kiki: - Mariya! Can you hear me? - Now's your chance! Return Lizard back to its card! - I've given you the power of purification. - You should be able to sense how to use it with your cosmo!!

Page 30

Mariya: - (My cosmo!!) - Sacred update!! - Holy Staff… - ...Nike!!

Page 31

Mariya: - In the name of the Goddess of Love and Justice, Athena… - …Purify!

Lizard: - Kheeeeek!

Pages 32 + 33

Lizard: - Oh dear… - Defeated by Pegasus yet again… - And this time, by a little girl, no less… - Your courage… - …is admirable. - I will entrust this to you.

Page 34

Lizard: - You can now handle the power of the Lizard constellation. - You should be proud.

Aries: - Mariya, are you okay?!

Mariya: - I got the Silver Lizard Card!!

Some good news, some bad news

So, as you might have heard, there were some excellent news this week for the English-speaking Sant Seiya fandom: Dark Wing is getting an official translation by Titan Manga! The first volume has an announced publication date of September 2025.

I am looking forward to following the series there, and also very curious to see what a professional translation of this series looks like.

This unfortunately means that, as of now, I will no longer be scanlating Dark Wing. I will probably continue to post English scripts for the monthly chapters (it depends on how fast the publisher is in catching up to the latest releases), but I will not edit or post any more scans.

The chapters I already worked on will also stay online, for the moment, but once the official releases start coming, I will be pulling them down.

I'm hoping this series will be successful! Who knows, it might be a sign that Saint Seiya is gaining traction in the English-speaking world. We now have the classic series, Saintia Sho, Time Odyssey, and Dark Wing officially licensed. With any luck, more spin-offs will follow. :)

Soujiro: - You will not side with Athena… - …or put your faith in Hades… - …or follow Yaldabaoth. - Right now, you chose not to settle on what is right. - Constantly wondering… - …and suffering… - …about what is right… - …and what is wrong. - Sho, that was your choice, wasn't it?

Pages 30 + 31

Soujiro: - All… - …for her sake…

Not a question but a thank you

Translating is hard work, and you’re doing a fantastic job at it and for free, which is insane.

Thank you for your hard work

This is me giving you your flowers, take it humbly but also own it, you’ve done phenomenal work Libra.

Have a happy 2025! :)

Aw, thank you so much! :D

I won't say it was my pleasure because doing this has been literally (physically) painful at times, but the fact that a few more people now get to enjoy these series makes all the effort worthwhile.

I wish you a grand 2025 too!

Saint Mariya Chapter 2

Page 1

Mariya was attacked by mysterious armed forces during her school's opening ceremony. She managed to repel them thanks to the power of a special card called the Pegasus Cloth… but she collapsed afterwards due to exhaustion...!

Page 2

Kiki: - I am Kiki, the Pope. - Would you lend me your strength?…

Mariya: - (A mysterious young man…) - (Strange armor…) - Uhn… - (Was that all just a dream?)

Pages 3 + 4

Mariya: - How… did I get here?… - Ngh… - Wait… where am I?!

Page 5

Mariya: - I– - I– - I–I'm still dreaming... aren't I?

Kiki: - Oh, you're awake? - You must be tired after using all that power. You're not used to it.

Mariya: - Ah! - Uhh!

Kiki: - This is Jamir, a secret holy land that's not featured on any map. - I teleported us here with my telekinesis. - First of all, why don't I tell you about the power you used?

Page 6

Kiki: - The power you used back at the school - is known as Cosmo. It's the power of warriors.

Mariya: - Cosmo?

Kiki: - That's right. - It's a special power - that is granted to the Saints who protect love and justice on earth.

Page 7

Mariya: - (Oh…) - Then why would someone like me… - have that kind of power…?

Kiki: - That's because the Cloth acknowledged you. - The armor you wore is a Cloth. - It's one of a total of 88, - and it's called the Pegasus Cloth.

Page 8

Kiki: - There are 88 of them because that is the total amount of constellations. - Saints are destined to fight alongside Athena against evil beings, under the protection of the constellations. - And… - the enemies they fight in these Cloths are…

Page 9

Kiki: - …Hades, the King of the Underworld, - and his Specters, the warriors of the Underworld, whom you fought.

Page 10

Mariya: - A battle against the King of the Underworld…

Kiki: - However… our battle, which has been ongoing since the age of mythology, was temporarily halted. - Both sides suffered too many losses… - And so Athena and Hades both left this world - on the condition that all the weapons from both sides be sealed - in a certain place, both Saint Cloths and Specter Surplices.

Page 11

Mariya: - Hold up!! - Then how come the Specters and the Pegasus Cloth are still around?! - (Weren't they sealed?)

Kiki: - Well, that was how it was supposed to be. - The 88 cloths and the 108 surplices were placed - in a sacred vase that could never be opened. - However…

Page 12

Kiki: - ...someone broke the seal - and all the cards were scattered. - Out of those 196 cards, I was only able to recover four. - One of them is the Pegasus Cloth you put on. - If Hades were to descend into this modern world without Athena…

Page 13 + 14

Kiki: - …the light of the sun would be blotted out, and the world would fall into darkness. - All life would perish. - The soldiers of Hades that attacked you would run rampant. - Mankind's defeat would be inevitable without the Cloths.

Page 15

Kiki: - But the Pegasus Cloth acknowledged you. - The courage within you is worthy of a Saint.

Page 16

Kiki: - Mariya… you were chosen as a warrior. - Please, lend me your strength to gather the scattered Cloth cards!!

Mariya: - This is all very sudden… - I was just desperate back there. - (He wants me to fight something like that alone?…)

Page 17

Mariya: - I... I can't. - I'm sorry... - You want me to fight the King of the Underworld…

Page 18

Mariya: - …and save the world?... Me?… - It's too much to take in… - I'm just a regular schoolgirl. - I can't fight… at all. - I don't want this Cloth. - I just want to go home.

Page 19

Kiki: - I see… - I'm sorry I scared you. - You're an ordinary girl who hasn't trained as a Saint… Your reaction is only natural. - I'm afraid I got carried away…

Page 20

Kiki: - But would you do me one favor? - Pegasus has acknowledged you, so you may be targeted by Hades's army. - Please keep this little one by your side for a while to protect you. - His name is Aries. - I'm sure he'll be of help to you.

Aries: - Hello again!

Page 21

Kiki: - I'm sorry to have troubled you. - I'll send you back to your home now.

Mariya: - ?! - (I'm losing... consciousness…)

Page 22

Mariya: - Mm… - It's morning?

Page 23

Aries: - You were in bed for a whole day. - Your family was worried.

Mariya: - I was out that long?!

(Knock knock)

Mariya: - Bah!! - Hide! - Come in!!

Yuzuki: - (What…?) - I came to check up on you because Auntie here was making a fuss, - but it looks like you're awake now.

???: - (Oh… so she is!)

Mariya: - Yuzu!!

Page 24

Mariya: - Yuzu, are you okay?! - You hit your head and you were bleeding, weren't you?

Yuzuki: - (Huh?) - What are you talking about? - You're the one who collapsed at the opening ceremony. - (Damn…) - You've really got to get your daily routine in order.

Mariya: - … - (What's going on?) - (Hades's army totally wrecked the school…)

Page 25

Aries: - I erased everyone's memories.

Mariya: - (Aries!!)

Aries: - I also have the ability to fix things. - I fixed all the buildings that were destroyed. - (So just play along.)

Yuzuki: - Everyone was really worried about you!

Mariya: - Even you, Yuzu?

Yuzuki: - Of course!! You're like a little sister to me!

Page 26

Yuzuki: - Here, a get-well gift.

Mariya: - (Wowww!!) - A limited edition pudding from the specialty store in front of the station!! - (And it's strawberry! ♥) - Yay!! ♥

Yuzuki: - You're way too energetic… - If you're feeling that well, I'll also give you something I won in a lottery.

Mariya: - Hm?

Mariya: - The Miracle Blue Rose Exhibition? - Thank you, Yuzu! - I'll try to go with Set tomorrow!

Yuzuki: - Good.

Water Village Rose Garden

Page 28

Mariya: - (Whoa!) - It's a Western-style amusement park!! - There are a lot more areas to see than I thought! - (How exciting!) - I'm meeting Set at the entrance. - I wonder if we can see everything in just one day… - Did something happen?

Aries: - Mariya… Something's wrong… You should get out of here.

Mariya: - What?

Aries: - I can sense the presence of Specters… - They're close!!

Page 29

???: - Aaah!!

Mariya: - ?! - Set!!

Skelleton 1: - Hee hee!!

Skelleton 2: - Hwah-heh-heh!

Bystanders: - What? What's going on? - It must be some kind of hero show.

Mariya: - Aries! Please… - Save Set!!

Aries: - (Uhm!) - I can't! I used up my power fixing things yesterday. I'm still recovering!

Page 30

Mariya: - Oh no… - (Do Specters show up this often?…)

Setsuna: - Ah!

Skelleton 2: - If we make a ruckus in a busy place, the Saints will come, right? - That way we don't have to bother looking for them!

Skelleton 1: - Bro, you're amazing!! - (Total ROCK!!)

Skelleton 2: - If we pull this off, we'll be promoted from Skelletons - to full-fledged Specters! - So first things first! You're gonna die, little girl!

Setsuna: - Aaah!

Page 31

Skelleton 2: - Bwah!

Mariya: - You leave Set alone… - …Tuft-head!!

Skelleton 2: - Oh, we got a live one here! Let's hunt this one first!!

Setsuna: - Mariya…

Page 32

Aries: - What are you doing?! Get out of here!

Mariya: - But… what's gonna happen to Set if I run away?! - Aries… transform me into Pegasus!

Aries: - I can't!! - You refused to become a Saint, so you don't have a right to it!

Mariya: - (He's right, I did…) - (Because I was scared…) - (But… how can I abandon Set?) - (Am I supposed to just save myself?…) - (Being left without the power to protect others…) - (That's…)

Page 33

Mariya: - (I don't want that!!) - Pegasus install!! - Pegasus Meteor Fist!!

Skelletons: - Gwaaah!

Page 34

Mariya: - Aries… - If I don't protect them… who will? - I'm scared, but… - (Huff...) - Until you find someone else… - I'll take on the role of Saint. - (Huff...)

???: - Lady Pandora. - My apologies for disturbing you before your rest.

Pandora: - You've got some nerve coming into my bedroom, - Earthly Weird Star, Frog Zelos.

Zelos: - Forgive me, but I have an urgent report…

Page 36

Zelos: - I detected the presence of a Cloth card. - And it's a superb one! - A gold cloth.

Pandora: - The Pegasus Saint has appeared on Athena's side. - We should be extra cautious this time, - and send out a proper Evil Star. - I will assign command of this operation…

Pages 37 + 38

Pandora: - …to my younger brother, - Adonis.

Page 39

Pandora: - Failure will not be tolerated. - Make sure you bring the Cloth here.
