MARRON:
Hey, Miyako?

MIYAKO:
What?

MARRON:
We are gymnasts........aren't we?

MIYAKO:
So?

MARRON:
Why are we doing what gardening club does?

(She drops the scop.)
Gee!

MIYAKO:
Marron?

MARRON:
(She stands up.)
Oh, I feel like to go home today.

MIYAKO:
No, Marron!

MARRON:
You also want to go home, don't you.

MIYAKO:
Yeah...
No, it's wrong.

They say, "a bad law is still a law."

MARRON:
You lie (to yourself). (= You are a liar.)

MIYAKO:
You, lazy.

(They are quarreling)
What?!
!! !!  !!

(Packelamao-sensei appears)

MARRON and MIYAKO:
Packelamao-sensei!

PACKELAMAO:
Gee, you guys,
don't you understand what I said?

You perform gymnastics with the hearts of flowers.
The best way to understand of the hearts of flowers is
to get involved with flowers. (= to spend time with flowers)

But you guys don't understand it!

MARRON and MIYAKO:
I'm sorry.

MIYAKO:
You're fault.

MARRON:
What?!

What!?
(They are quarreling again)

(Packelamao-sensei plays a oboe.)

PACKELAMAO:
Gee, you guys!

TITLE: THE ENCIRCLING NET: THE ENEMY IS ALL THE STUDENTS.

PACKELAMAO:
If you have ugly heart or unclear heart,
you can't perform well.

It is very important to keep the flower bloom
in your heart.

VICE PRINCIPAL:
Stop it.

Stop it, Packelamao-sensei!

PACKELAMAO:
What's the matter, Vice-Principal?

VICE PRINCIPAL:
"What's the matter," you say?
Don't you know how valuable this vase is!?

PACKELAMAO:
Valuable?

VICE PRINCIPAL:
This vase was given to the Principal directly from a very noble person (a very high-rank person)
when our school was first established.
It is called as "The Given Vase" or "Voice of The Noble."

It's not suitable to put the flower in it.

PACKELAMAO:
Flowers exit to bloom, 
vases exists to be with flowers.

VICE PRINCIPAL:
No kidding!
These flowers don't match to it. (because it's "The Given Vase.")

CHIAKI:
I think it matches very well.

MIYAKO:
Chiaki!

VICE PRICIPAL:
What did you say?

CHIAKI:
'Cause, you can see it (=the beauty of flowers) at a brief glance.
Don't you understand its beauty?

MARRON:
Chiaki.

***

MIYAKO:
Chiaki, you are the best.
You're cool!

CHIAKI:
Well.
You know I'm a honest guy.
(Marron: Gees...)
When I see a pretty girl, I can't resist saying so (=saying, "you are pretty.").
That's all.

MIYAKO:
You're talking about me?

CHIAKI:
Who's else?

MIYAKO:
Oh, Chiaki....!

MARRON:
Give me a break.
What the heck "a honest guy?"

CHIAKI:
Marron, you're, too.

MARRON:
Eh?

CHIAKI:
Especially, with these groves and rain boots.
Sexier than just in leotard.

MARRON:
Don't star at me!
Ecchi!

MIYAKO:
Chiaki, are you all right?

***

PACKELAMAO:
This is it, isn't it?

(Demon appears.)

I can't breath....

What's...going on?

CLASS PRESIDENT:
The meeting will start after 20 minutes.
Before that, submit the daily report and 
ask Packelamao-sensei to check 
the college course questionnaire.
And and.....

Packelamao-sensei.

Packelamao-sensei.

***

CLASS PRESIDENT:
Fortunately, 
you guys were close to the scene.

MIYAKO:
You saw her falling down, right, Class-President?

CLASS PRESIDENT:
Yes.

MIYAKO:
She was fine when we saw her.
Did she get anemia?

MARRON:
Her face is...
very pale.

MIYAKO:
Right.
Marron, you are....

MARRON:
Eh?

MIYAKO:
You worried about Packelamao-sensei, 
but you don't care Chiaki, do you?

MARRON:
Cause, it was his fault.

(Sneeze)

MIYAKO:
Sensei!?

CLASS PRESIDENT:
I'll call the school doctor.

PACKELAMAO:
You don't have to.

MARRON:
But you look still (pale).....

PACKELAMAO:
I don't allow anyone who interrupts me.

MARRON:
Sensei...?

CLASS PRESIDENT:
Sensei, it's better to lay down for a while.

PACKELAMAO:
Be silent.

MARRON:
But....

PACKELAMAO:
I don't allow anyone....
(She pushes a student down.)
....who interrupts me!

MARRON:
Sensei looks weird.

MIYAKO:
She always looks weird.

MARRON:
I've got to go.

MIYAKO:
Marron, where are you going?


MARRON:
Phinn, Phinn!
Phinn, get up!

PINNE:
Good by.
Good night.

MARRON:
No "good night!"
Get up.
Get up. Hey!
Phinn, Phine!
(Shaking Phinn's body.)

PNINNE:
Stop it.
Stop it.

***

MARRON:
(Hiding at the pillar and watching Packelamao-sensei.)
What do you think?

PHINNE:
I feel ill. (=I got a bad feeling.)

MARRON:
Do you?
What can I do about it? (about sensei?)

PHINN:
Not that.
Because you shook me, I feel ill! (=I feel uncomfortable.)
I'm your partner!
(* translator's note: this part is hard to translate because in Japanese, sometimes you can consider:
"I have a bad feeling." = "I feel ill.")

Marron,
Demon is the cause of it. (it = the problem in sensei)

MARRON:
Are you sure?

PHINN:
I never make mistakes.

PACKELAMAO:
Who is there!?

MARRON:
(panting)
I didn't imagine she became a victim (of demon).
Flower-loving sensei...

PHINN:
That's why.

The more one's heart is beautiful, the more demon eager to get it.

MARRON:
If the demon takes one's heart, what will happen on him/her?

PHINN:
No one can live without heart.
So....

MARRON:
Will die?
I can't allow it happen.

MARRON:
Phinn, prepare the notice card.
What time is it now?

PHINN:
Eh, well, a bit past 3:30.

MARRON:
You will see,
Whatever it takes, I will finish the job by 7:00.

PHINN:
Marron,
I'm very glad to hear that.
You finally understand what your duty is!

MARRON:
It's a special reason.

PHINN:
Why?
Because someone you know is possessed by demon?

MARRON:
Whatever.
Send the notice card, quick.
(She snaps Phinn.)

PHINN:
Why did you do it on me?

MARRON;
Be silent and do what you have to do!

ACCESS:
Yeah, you're very pretty, Phinn.
You're worth for my love.

However!
If I weight my duty and love in a balance scale,
my duty would be heavier. 
Oh, Black Angel. (= oh, because  I'm a black angel)
Forgive me, Phinn.

(The head opens and appears Access.)
"Here comes, Black Angel, Access Time!"

Hmm.
"I will make the dark side in your heart."
"Here comes Black Angel Access Time!"
Is this better?

Let me see.
"Here comes Black Angel, Access Time!"
Too simple.
Whatever!

Come up with the best idea before meeting with Phinn.
For my duty, I have to forget about love.....
Oh, no time to waste.
Report to Sinbad.
Let's go, Access. (*  he is saying to himself)
All right! 

***

VICE PRICIPAL:
"I will take the beauty of  'the Given Vase' before 7:00.
-Phantom Thief Joan."

Worse, the Principal is absent in such a situation.
Call police?
No, no.
It (calling police) would ruin the honor of the school.
Ahhhhh
What can I do?

PACKELAMAO:
She is such an idiot to steal my vase.
Whatever it takes, I will catch her.

VICE PRINCIPAL:
Of course,  we have to.
But how?

PACKELAMAO:
It's easy.

CHIAKI:
Hmmm.
I see.
Count on me.

PACKELAMAO:
To all the students:

All come to the gym immediately.

If you don't obey the order, 
you will be punished without exception.
I hope you all understand.

All the students, come to the gym.

MARRON:
Sensei....

CHIAKI:
Seems like it has started.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

PACKELAMAO:
This vase is a treasure of our school.
We have to prevent her from stealing it.

MIYAKO:
That's right.
We don't have tolerance for her action.

PACKELAMAO:
All of you understand?
You all cooperate to guard the vase and catch Joan.
Ooohhhh!

MIYAKO:
Sensei!

PACKELAMAO:
What, Todaiji?

MIYAKO:
I think we better ask police for arresting (catching) Joan.
First of all....

PACKELAMAO:
Be silence!

CLASS PRESIDENT:
I have to go to the cram school later. (* he wants to leave.)

STUDENT 1:
It's the school encircling net!

STUDENT 2:
Catch her and use her as a model!

CLASS PRESIDENT:
Oh, nobody want to leave.....

MIYAKO:
I can't believe what Packelamao-sensei said.

Catching Joan is not a game.
I have to catch her alone.

MARRON:
Are you serious?

MIYAKO:
I am! (=Of course)
I will let her know how the professionals do!

MARRON:
"You are not professional, either."

CHIAKI:
It sounds interesting.

CLASS PRESIDENT:
We are facing a serious problem, Nagoya-kun.

CHIAKI:
I mean, Miyako's action.

MIYAKO:
Thank you.
Count on me, I'll definitely catch Joan.
See ya.

MARRON:
Hey, Miyako!

MIYAKO:
I'll secretly investigate.
Don't follow me.

MARRON:
Oh, Miyako....

Sorry.

CHIAKI:
Why?

MARRON:
You know......  I watered you.
That's why....

CHIAKI:
They say, you can get rid of a cold
if you pass it to someone.

Can you help me?
Like this....

(Slap! Slap!)

MARRON:
I said sorry.
You jerk.

CLASS PRESIDENT:
Nagoya-kun, 
you shouldn't have done that.

CHIAKI:
It's just a joke.
She looked so apologizing,
I just teased her.

(Clock)

MARRON:
Oh, no.
It's already 6:00.

PHINNE:
Marron!

MARRON:
Phinn, hurry up!

PHINNE:
But...

(School is completely surrounded.)

MARRON:
Oh...

PHINNE:
What can we do?
You can't even close to the vase.


They say "You can't succeed it with weak mind." 
(or "you can't succeed it if you have week mind."  *some kind of saying?)
I'll definitely finish it before 7:00.

PHINNE:
But....

MARRON:
Oh yeah,
How about this way?

PHINNE:
Oh...Okay!

MARRON:
Preparation is done.

Here come, Phantom Thief Joan!

STUDENTS:
It's Joan!
It's Joan!
.......

FOOTBALL PLAYERS:
She's appeared.
That way!
Hurry!

(Chasing Joan at the corridor.)
Stop!

PINGPONG PLAYERS:
That way!
Hurry!

PHINNE:
Marron, 
they're gone.
Your turn.

MARRON:
Okay.

STUDENTS:
Hey! 
It's Joan!

GRIL STUDENTS:
Here she is!
That way.
Here, here.

Here you go!

She's gone.
"Kawari-mi no jutsu?" (= "technique of disguise?" ) (*ninja's secret technique.)

MARRON:
Maybe so.

STUDENTS:
Here she is.

(the guy holds her.)
I got her.
No......

PACKELAMAO:
Catch Joan, hurry!

The club that catches her will receive the club budget double.

(All students are excited.)

MIYAKO:
Class-President, 
come here.

MARRON:
Okay, okay.
Phinn, now I will finish it up.

PHINNE:
Okay.

MARRON:
Here I am, Joan!

STUDENTS:
She's there.

(sounds of Japanese drums.)
STUDENTS:
Aim!

Here you go!

(They keep shooting at her.)
(She is falling from the building.)
We got her
We got her!
...

What this!
.......

PHINNE:
Marron, good luck!

MARRON:
Count on me!

Joan of Arc, give me you power.

Bullish, (tsuyoki) 
and Serious, (honki)
Matchless, (muteki) (= too strong to have enemies)
and Marvelous, (suteki)
Vigorous, (genki)
and Courageous! (yuki)
(* note: all take rhyme, "-ki.")

VICE PRINCIPAL:
Oh....
Now it's the time her notice stated. (*notice card said at 7:00)

MARRON:
Sorry, but it's too late to call police.
Bonjour, I appear as I noticed.

PACKELAMAO:
Eeeehi, here comes you thief!
Everybody, catch her!

MARRON:
Re-bound ball, come.
The game start.

Under the name of God.
You, demon born in the dark,

I will seal you here!

Check mate!

VICE PRINCIPAL:
The vase was stolen!

MARRON:
Collection completed.

MIYAKO:
I got it!
It's Miyako Special Part 3!

I finally caught Joan!
No!
Where is she!
Where? Where?

No!
When did she do that?
Damn you!

CHIAKI:
Well, 
You almost got caught, Joan.

MARRON:
I didn't ask your hand.
Who are you?

SINBAD:
Phantom Thief Sinbad.

I came here to compete with you and win.
You won't defeat me.
Remember it.

MARRON:
Phantom Thief Sinbad...
Who the heck is he?

***

MIYAKO:
Sensei....
Packelamao-sensei?

PACKELAMAO:
Why....I slept such a.....place?
Oh!?
Todaiji!
Did you finish your job taking care of the flower garden?

MIYAKO:
Hah?

Yes, ma'am.

***

MARRON:
Oh, it's too late!

PHINNE:
Why are you in a hurry?
As your notice, you collected the demon.

MARRON:
(Opens the door and enter)
It's more important.

TV:
However, our challenge will continue....
until the time when we solve the mysteries.

MARRON:
I missed it!

PHINNE:
Oh, TV program.........
