G: Fairy...this is the end for you!!!
B: W-wait a second!!!
B: I-I'm not a fairy!! I'm a human!!

17)
G: Eh!? A human!?
G: Really!?
B: Of course!! Just like you!!
B: Look! Look!!
G: Don't move! Not a muscle!
B: You're really distrustful!
sfx: jiro jiro jiro
G: You seem different from me somehow...
G: You look really soft and weak!
B: Well, of course I am!
B: You're a boy!! And I'm a delicate girl!!
G: Girl!?
G: You're a girl!?

18)
B: What a country bumpkin!
B: You've never seen a girl before?
G: This is the first time I've seen another human...
G: My deceased grandpa said...
G: If I ever met a girl, to be nice to her!
B: See!? You've got to be nice to me!
G: So girls don't have tails, huh...
B: Eh?
sfx: piko piko
G: Hmmmmm...interesting...
B: Pupuh!! How stupid!!
B: He has a fake tail attached to himself!! Does he think it looks cool?
G: By the way, what kind of a monster was that? Did you catch it?
B: It's not a monster, it's a car! A machine made by humans!

19)
G: So this is a car! I've heard about these.
G: Hmm...hmmmmm...it's great, but weak!
G: Does this mean you came from the city?
B: Well, yeah...far west from here.
G: Come to my house! Since you're a girl I'll give you some food!
B: You'd better not do anything weird!
B: You're really strong for such a small kid!
G: Heheh!
G: Grandpa trained me!
B: He sure is a weirdo...
B: but that power of his could really come in handy!
G: Wait a minute!
B: What a run-down place!
G: Grandpa, look! It's a girl! A girl came to our house!
B: Hm?

20)
B: There it is!!!!
B: The Dragonball!!!!
B: Kyaaaa, kyaaaaa!!!
B: It really was here!! Just like on the radar!!
G: Hey, don't touch grandpa!!!
G: That's grandpa's mememnto!! Girls can't touch it!!
B: Fine, fine, I guess I'l just explain it to you...
sfx: goso goso
B: Look!!
G: Ahhh!!
G: G-grandpa!! You have two of them?!

21)
B: Heheheh! These are
B: called Dragonballs.
G: Dragon...balls?
B(2b): I found one in the cellar at home and wondered what it was, so I asked a bunch of people, but no one was able to tell me.
B: After doing a lot of research, I found document that finally explained everything to me.
B: These are called "Dragonballs," and there are seven in all. They all shine brightly, and have stars on them numbering from one to seven.
G: You're right! Grandpa's has four on it!
B: That's the Suushinchuu (4-star ball). The first one I found was the Arushinchuu (2-star ball)! (*t/l note: For some reason, the balls each have their own numbered names in chinese.)
B: I found this one ten days ago,
B: after searching all around a valley in the north -- the Uushinchuu (5-star ball)!
G: You're searching for these?
B: Yeah! Collecting all seven is going to be a real challenge!

22)
G: But what are you collecting them for? To make a rosary?
B(small): How many?
sfx(small): poku poku
B: Yeah right!
B: When you collect all seven, something amazing happens!
B: After reciting the magic words when all seven are together...
B: Shenlong, or the god of all Dragons, appears and will answer one wish, no matter what it is!!
G: Geh!! Th-that's awesome!!
B: Apparently the last person to collect the Dragonballs became King!
B(2b): But after a while, the Dragonballs all scatter. So now I'm trying to collect them again!

23)
B: Fufufu...and I've already decided on my wish!
B: I was really tempted to decide on an eternal strawberry that never runs out, but it's gotta be this: "a wonderful boyfriend!!"
B: Well, that's the jist of it.
B: So hand over the Suushinchuu!!
G: No!! No way!!
G: This is Grandpa's memento!!
B: Huh? Don't be so stingy!!
B: What's the big deal? It's not like you're using it for anyhting!!
G: Behhh!
B: Ahh, I got it!!
B: Ufufu...I know what you want!
B: Peek!
B: How's this? You can even touch it a little if you want...
G: Why would I wanna touch your dirty butt?
B: It's not dirty! How rude!!!
B: I got it!! Why don't you just come help me search for them?!
B: Your Grandpa told you to be nice to girls, right!?

24)
G: Searching...?
B: Staying here forever will be boring, right!?
B: Men like you are supposed to travel around the world and train themselves!
G: Okay...but I'm holding on to the ball!
B: Fine, fine! Just let me borrow it for a bit at the end!
B: Mufufufufu...that went perfectly! After the wish is made, the Dragonballs all scatter off in different directions, so it doesn't matter!
B: This kid will be the perfect bodyguard!!
B: Now then!
B: Let's start our fun adventure!!
G: But how are we going to search for the other balls if we don't know where they are?
B: Fu fu fu!
B: I'm have a reputation for my brains, you know!
B: Although my face is cute too!
B: This! We'll use this!
sfx: pih pih

25)
B: The Dragon Radar!!
sfx: pih pih
B: It's an invention I created that picks up on the subtle energy waves emitting from the Dragonballs! Look, these three are the ones that we have...
B: and the next one's over here.
B: Umm...about 1200 km to the west!!
G: I don't get it!
B: Since you destroyed my car, I'll have to bring something else out.
B: By the way, what's your name?
G: Me?
G: I'm Gokuu.
G: Son Gokuu!
G: And you?
B: ...Buruma...
G: Buruma!? Hahah, what a weird name!
B: Shut up!! It's not like I'm fond of it myself!!! (*t/l note: buruma is the note for the typically navy blue panty-like tight shorts that are worn in Japan for exercise, P.E., etc. and comes from the english word bloomers)
G: Hahahah! Buruma!
G(small): Buruma, Buruma!
B: He's so annyoing!
B: This is why I hate kids!
B: ...what number was it again...
B: ...ah, #9!!

B: Fu...fufu...well, yeah...
B: I-I didn't think that cliff was going to be so sharp...!!
B: I'll be right back!
B: Just wait a minute, OK?
G: Eh!? What, what!? Where are you going!?
B: Man, you're really thick-headed!! When a lady says those kinds of things, it means she's going to pee!!
G: You mean take a piss?
sfx: tatatata...
G: Huh?
G: Why is she going that far away to piss? She could have done it right here...what a weirdo.

30)
sfx: bieeeeehhhhhhh

G: Ah!
