    A beautiful nation,
    prospering since ancient times,
[00:51] N
    Japan has many countless stories,
    folk tales, and legends known to all.
[01:00] N
    Look carefully in those stories,
    and you'll occasionally find
[01:03] ---
    the faces of the fairies
    from beyond the Fairy Ring.
[01:10] N
    The anime-chans, given life by
    the fairies, live in the stories.
[01:18] N
    The Fairy Rings connect to
    the folk tales of your city.
[01:25] N
    And open the door, and you may
    get to meet living anime-chans.
[01:33] N
    Yes, this is the land where
    you get to meet anime-chans.
SIGN    A land where you get to meet
    anime-chans
[01:45] A
    Once upon a time,
[01:49] ---
    in the land of fairies,
    there lived a group of adorable girls.
[01:55] B
    They loved to sing, dance and act,
[01:58] ---
    but they grew up a little,
    and went their own ways.
SIGN    The Fairy Land Folktales
[02:33] Muscaria
    Oh, no! I'm late.
[02:43] Porcini
    Muscaria's late.
[02:46] Virosa
    She's a manager. How could she be late?
[02:50] Paludosa
    That's Muscaria for you.
[02:52] Muscaria
    Sorry.
[02:53] Porcini
    You're late, Muscaria.
[02:55] Muscaria
    Sorry, I didn't mean to be late.
[02:59] Muscaria
    On my way here...
[03:00] Porcini
    What, you were helping along an old
    lady who got lost, or something?
[03:05] Muscaria
    Yeah, that's it.
[03:07] Muscaria
    How did you know?
[03:08] Virosa
    Liar.
[03:11] Paludosa
    Long time no see, Muscaria.
[03:13] Paludosa
    You've become such a pretty lady.
[03:15] Paludosa
    I barely even recognize you.
[03:17] Muscaria
    Oh, stop it.
[03:19] Muscaria
    You're become even prettier
    than before, too, Paludosa.
[03:22] Virosa
    I can't stand it when girls lather
    praise on each other. It's so gross.
[03:26] Muscaria
    You're snarky as always, Virosa.
[03:31] Porcini
    I guess we haven't really changed.
[03:32] Porcini
    I'm relieved.
[03:35] Yellow
    Forest Fairy Five is meeting up for the
    first time in a while for a reunion.
[03:41] Muscaria
    It'll be just like the old days
    with the five of us.
[03:44] Muscaria
    We're the Forest Fairy Five.
[03:48] Muscaria
    Wait, are we missing one?
[03:51] Porcini
    Mai-chan hasn't shown up yet.
[03:53] Muscaria
    Oh.
[03:54] Muscaria
    So I'm not the last one here.
[03:57] Muscaria
    Good.
[03:58] Virosa
    Good nothing.
[03:59] Virosa
    I was here first.
    I've been waiting the whole time.
[04:03] Paludosa
    Why don't you call Mai-chan, Muscaria?
[04:05] Muscaria
    I should.
[04:09] Muscaria
    She's "out of the service area."
[04:13] Porcini
    Out of range of fairy waves?
SIGN    What are fairy waves?
[04:17] A
    Fairy phones use special fairy radio waves
[04:20] ---
    that keeps them in touch
    all across the fairy world.
[04:23] Muscaria
    I wonder where Mai-chan went.
[04:25] Porcini
    She should have contacted us if
    she had to cancel last-minute.
[04:29] Virosa
    Maybe she forgot about today's reunion.
[04:33] Muscaria
    No way.
[04:34] Muscaria
    She was really gung-ho about
    showing off her new dance.
[04:39] Porcini
    Right, Mai-chan said she
    goes to a dance school.
[04:43] Muscaria
    I wonder if something's wrong.
[04:45] Porcini
    Want to go visit her place?
[04:48] A
    And so everyone arrives at Mai-chan's place.
SIGN    Mizunara Mai's home
[04:54] Muscaria
    Mai-chan.
[04:59] Virosa
    She's not home.
[05:00] Porcini
    Of course not.
[05:02] Porcini
    I'd be angry if she blew off our
    promise to sit around at home.
[05:06] Paludosa
    Where did she go?
[05:09] Porcini
    What should we do?
[05:10] Porcini
    Should we go back to our meeting spot?
[05:12] Muscaria
    Yeah.
[05:13] Muscaria
    We might end up passing each other by.
[05:16] Porcini
    Right.
[05:17] Porcini
    She might be over there by now.
[05:20] Virosa
    The four of us shouldn't
    have all come together.
[05:23] Virosa
    Half of us should have stayed behind.
[05:26] Muscaria
    That's true.
[05:27] Muscaria
    Let's leave her a message.
[05:34] Muscaria
    What's this music?
[05:36] Muscaria
    Mai-chan?
[05:37] Porcini
    Who is it?
[05:38] Muscaria
    Has Mai-chan changed?
[05:41] Virosa
    It's not Mai-chan.
[06:53] A
    Who are you?
[06:55] Porcini
    We're Mai-chan's friends.
[06:59] Virosa
    What about you?
[07:00] A
    I'm Mai's friend, too.
[07:02] A
    We go to dance school together.
[07:04] Porcini
    Do you know where Mai-chan went?
[07:06] A
    She said she was going
    to meet with old friends.
[07:09] Muscaria
    Oh, that's us.
[07:11] Porcini
    She didn't show up for our promise,
    so we came to check on her.
[07:15] A
    So did I.
[07:16] A
    She asked me to check her dance
    before she met up with her friends.
[07:20] A
    She wasn't here, so I was dancing by myself.
[07:23] Virosa
    Odd.
[07:24] Paludosa
    I wonder if something happened.
[07:26] Porcini
    Could she have been abducted?
[07:29] Muscaria
    No way.
[07:33] A
    Mai-chan!
[07:35] B
    Mai-chan!
[07:38] N
    The four wandered around,
    looking for Mai-chan.
[07:45] N
    But she was nowhere to be found.
[07:49] Muscaria
    Where did you go, Mai-chan?
[07:52] Porcini
    This is starting to get serious.
[07:57] Virosa
    This is definitely an incident.
[07:59] Virosa
    Mai-chan's gone missing.
[08:01] Paludosa
    Don't say that.
[08:03] Muscaria
    Y-Yeah.
[08:05] Muscaria
    I'm sure she'll show up, apologizing.
[08:08] Porcini
    I hope so.
[08:12] Porcini
    Where are you going, Muscaria?
[08:15] Muscaria
    I'm going to go check Mai-chan's place again.
[08:18] Virosa
    But you already left a message.
[08:21] Muscaria
    Yeah.
[08:21] Muscaria
    But we might find some hints
[08:24] ---
    about where she might have
    gone, if we look hard enough.
[08:29] Porcini
    Okay, Muscaria and I will
    go check one more time.
[08:33] Porcini
    Virosa and Paludosa, can you wait here?
[08:35] Virosa
    Got it.
[08:41] Porcini
    What's this music?
[08:42] Porcini
    Mai-chan?
[09:57] Muscaria
    Uh...
[09:58] Muscaria
    What was that music?
[10:00] B
    My song.
[10:02] Muscaria
    I see.
[10:03] Porcini
    I guess it wasn't Mai-chan.
[10:05] B
    Who are you all?
[10:06] B
    What are you doing here?
[10:09] Porcini
    We're looking for a friend.
[10:11] Virosa
    Have you seen this girl?
[10:15] B
    I've seen her.
[10:17] Virosa
    Really?
[10:18] B
    Yes. Early this morning.
[10:30] B
    She walked that way.
[10:32] Muscaria
    That way?
[10:33] Porcini
    That's towards Mai-chan's house.
[10:36] B
    She had a stern look on her
    face as she walked away
[10:38] ---
    with a picture book held to her chest.
[10:40] Paludosa
    A picture book?
[10:42] Porcini
    Oh, there was a picture book at her house.
[10:50] Paludosa
    This is it.
[10:51] Paludosa
    This is the book.
[10:52] Porcini
    This is our lead?
[10:54] Muscaria
    Yeah.
[10:55] Muscaria
    This book has something to do
    with Mai-chan's disappearance.
[10:58] Porcini
    Can I see?
[11:01] Porcini
    Folktales of Japan?
[11:03] Paludosa
    What do folk tales have to do
    with Mai-chan going missing?
[11:08] Muscaria
    Well...
[11:09] Paludosa
    Maybe we can find out if we read it.
[11:11] Porcini
    Yeah.
[11:14] Porcini
    "Long, long ago, there lived
    an old man and old woman.
[11:18] Porcini
    The old man went to the
    mountain to trim the lawn,
[11:20] ---
    and the old woman went to
    do the laundry at the river."
[11:23] Porcini
    Wait...
[11:24] Porcini
    Are you sure this is important?
[11:26] Paludosa
    We have to read it until the end.
[11:30] Porcini
    "As the old woman was cleaning clothes"...
[11:32] Virosa
    Wait a minute.
[11:34] Porcini
    Huh?
[11:35] Virosa
    Wasn't this book left open?
[11:39] Virosa
    Maybe there's a hint on that page.
[11:42] Muscaria
    Which page?
[11:44] Muscaria
    Can I see?
[11:45] Muscaria
    Let's see..
[11:47] Muscaria
    Oh, this one.
[11:48] Muscaria
    This page.
[11:49] Porcini
    Can we find out where Mai-chan
    went from this page?
[11:52] Muscaria
    Oh.
[11:53] Porcini
    What?
[11:54] Muscaria
    Look.
[11:59] Muscaria
    Mai-chan?
[12:00] Virosa
    No way.
[12:01] Paludosa
    She's in here?
[12:06] N
    Oh, my! Mai-chan was inside the picture book.
[12:10] N
    How could this have happened?
[12:13] N2
    Will Mai-chan come safely home?
[12:17] N2
    Come back next week to find out.
