Prologue

Mana: At any rate... {Jumping into the middle of a conversation here. --K}
I never thought Ai-chan would be the one to save our butts.

Cheryl: It seems that Ai-chan's a very reliable pinch hitter.

Rikka: Yeah, but we can't just rest on our laurels here.

Makoto: Yes, we need to find the Princess soon.

Mana: You're right.

Jun: Pardon me.

Mana: Wh-What?

Jun: A-Aida-senpai!

Mana: Y-Yes?

Jun: Please make me your apprentice!

Makoto: A-

Mana: Apprentice?

{OP}

Part 1

Mana: Hmm... So you're Saotome Jun from Class 1-A, right?
Ah, sorry for stealing your chair, Yashima-san.

Yashima: No prob.

Jun: Y-Yes!
I've come here to ask to be your apprentice.

Raquel: What's an apprentice?

Davi: Someone who stays by the side of someone they admire in order to learn from them.

Rikka: Another one...

Makoto: Another?

Rikka: There's plenty of kids who look up to Mana.
This actually isn't the first time this has happened.

Mana: So why do you want to be my apprentice?

Jun: It's because of what happened yesterday.

Jun: These are.... so... heavy...

Mana: Are you okay?
Let me help you.

Jun: Huh? You don't have to...

Mana: Where to? The library?

Jun: Um, yeah.
Ah, no. I don't want to trouble you.

Mana: It's fine. Just let me handle it.

Jun: You were so trustworthy and reassuring, just like a prince on a white stallion.

Rikka: This has nothing to do with white stallions.

Jun: I want to be a man of strong will and body, just like you!

Rikka: And Mana's not a man, either.

Jun: Please! Let me be your apprentice!

Mana: Okay.

Makoto: She said yes.

Jun: Really?

Mana: Yeah.
Help me with what you are able to.

Jun: Thank you very much!

Rikka: Well, this is another fine mess...

Makoto: She didn't turn him down.... Well, that's Mana...

Jun: I, Saotome Jun, will give you my best as your apprentice!

Title: Mana's Decision! I'm Taking on an Apprentice!

Lunch lady: I can't understand you if you all talk at once. Take turns speaking!

Mimura: I'm too late! Looks like I won't be able to buy a yakisoba bun today.

Mana: You want a yakisoba bun?

Mimura: Prez!

Mana: I want one, so let me get yours too.

Hey Lunch Lady! Do you still have yakisoba buns?

Lunch lady: Ah, Mana-chan! You'll have to wait a bit, I'm kinda shorthanded right now.

Mana: I'll help you out then!
Just a minute, okay?

Jun: Huh? But that's not why we're here...

Mana: Hey, coming through. Sorry. Sorry.

Jun: Ah! M-Me too! Excuse me! Excuse me!

Mimura: You okay?

Mana: Okay, what would you like?

Male student 1: I want a mixed sandwich with an orange juice.

Male student 2: Korokke sandwich here!

Female student 1: I want strawberry milk and a ham sandwich.

Male student 3: Chocolate bread and milk!

Female student 2: Korokke sandwitch and juice, please.

Male student 4: Pork cutlet sandwich and orange juice.

Mana: Here, a mixed sandwich with an orange juice.
Korokke sandwich, and strawberry milk with a ham sandwich.
Chocolate bread and milk.
Korokke sandwich and apple juice.
Pork cutlet sandwich and orange juice.
And here's your change: 50 yen, 40 yen, and 240 yen.
Please come again!

Jun: That's Aida-senpai for you.

Mana: And we're sold out!
Here you go!

Mimura: Yes! Thank you, Prez!
Come again!

Lunch lady: You were a big help, Mana-chan.

Mana: You're quite welcome.

Rikka: And... what about your bread?
You forgot, didn't you?

Jun: It's great how you freely give away even your own portion to others.
You have such an incredibly big heart.

Mana: Rikka-sama!

Rikka: Yeah, yeah. I'll share my lunch with you.

Mana: What happened?

Jun: Senpai?

Mana: Are you okay?

Injured girl: Yeah.

Mana: Let's get you to the infirmary.

Jun: And she's helping someone else out again...
Let me help you with that!

Injured girl: I'm sorry, Prez.

Mana: I'm just glad it was something minor.

Male student 5: Ma'am!

School nurse: Oh dear, what's wrong?

Ah, Aida-san, I know it's a lot to ask, but could you take the documents on my desk to the faculty room?

Mana: Sure!

Large male student: What the heck's your problem, slimeball?!

Smaller male student: The heck's yours, slimeball?! {Just copied these lines from Ep 1 --K}

Mana: Hey now, what's going on here?

Jun: It's just one thing after another...
M-Me too!

{Musical interlude}

Sign: Antique Shop Solitaire {Again, only need to typeset the "Solitaire" part. Probably can grab the typesetting for this from Ep 8 and adjust as needed. --K}

Ai-chan: Kewpie!

Mana: I'm back again, Ai-chan!

Jun: You even take care of a baby?

Mana: Yeah, would you like to hold her, Jun-kun?

Jun: Okay, I will assist you. {Yes it seems a bit stiff, but that's intentional. Jun's being overly stiff for the situation. --K}

Mana; Here you go.

Jun: Easy there...

She's kinda heavy, isn't she?

Jun: Owowowowow!

Mana: Ah! Stop that, Ai-chan!

Jun: Don't worry, she's not really bothering me that much.
Hey look, Ai-chan!

Jun: Owowowow!

Mana: Ai-chan!

Raquel: Rikka, let's use that.

Rikka: Yeah.

Raquel: Yo! Raquel-roll!

Ai-chan: Kewpie!

Makoto: You look tired.

Rikka: Of course he is. He's been trying to keep up with Mana.

Alice: It's good to eat a sweet treat when one is tired. {Moar お嬢様 speech! --K}
Please, help yourself.

Jun: Ah, thank you.
Wh-What?

Mana: You're a really hard worker, aren't you, Jun-kun?

Jun: No, I'm nothing compared to you.
Anyway, today was quite busy wasn't it?

Mana: Yeah, but it was still fun.

Jun: Fun?

Mana: Yeah. 'Cause it really makes me happy when people say "Thank you" and when I'm able to bring them joy.

Jun: That makes you happy...

Mana: Yup!

Jun: {\i1}I'm completely exhausted, and she's still right as rain.
{\i1}I wonder if I really can do it...
{\i1}Become like her, that is...
{\i1}Gotta stop thinking like that. Even someone like me can do it if I keep trying!

Joe: I've got something for such a hard worker as yourself.
Here's a good luck Lovie to help make your wishes come true. {Joe's an equal opportunity pedo, w --K}

Jun: Umm... thanks. {"Note to self: Visit the nearest police box on the way home." w --K}

Joe: Sure.

Bel: Those blasted Precure!

Mammo: He actually used Beast Mode.

Ira: He's really getting serious, now.

Bel: There isn't going to be a later...
You two will need to get just as serious now.

Ira: Yeah, well I've just been playin' with them so far.

Mammo: Yeah. And I'm busy with a mud pack right now.

Bel: King Selfishe is extremely angry now.
Don't think that he's going to let you keep playing around like you have been.

Ira: Well then... If that's the case, guess I'll have to get serious then.{Yeah, seriously gutter ball! w --K}

Mammo: That's cheating!

Ira: That doesn't matter as long as I take 'em out. {Double meaning here. --K}
Precure... I'm gonna take you out!
