Delivery Man; Hm? Umm, is your mother home?

Nori; ............
{shake shake}

Delivery Man; What about your father, then?

Nori; There's nobody... so we don't need that......

Delivery Man; Huh?


Page 5

Nori; We... we've gotten all these suspicious packages today...!
I... I'm afraid of opening them...

{stacked up}

Delivery Man; Th... That's a problem......

Jun; {dreamy/ doku}
"After you have checked, please put it in the return envelope and keep it in the second drawer of your desk.
The artificial sprit Hollie will come from another dimension to collect your letter. (Caution: Please do not look!)"


Page 6

Jun; Ooh...　I haven't felt the potential for such a big one in a while!
{dreamy dreamy/ doku doku}
I just know it's going to be great...

Nori; Jun-kuun!
{stomp stomp}
{slam}
A... another weird thing arrived!
It's the ninth one today!

{doll; curse}

{box; X Mail-Order Company}

Jun; {tsk}
Knock before you enter, pig.
I ordered them, so don't open them without my permission, pig.

{doll; curse}

Nori; Jun-kun, stop all this, please...
If you want anything, your big sister will by them for you...

Jun; As if.
Like hell I'm going to let anyone criticize the one thing I enjoy.

{drawer; close}

Nori; I'm not just anyone, I'm your big sister.


Page 7

Nori; You buy all these exotic items...

{flyer; flap...

Brings hyper economic fortune!
Behemoth God Statue
500 thousand yen}

Jun; Hey, did I give you permission to look at that!?

Nori; Besides, they're obviously all rip-offs...

Jun; I'm well aware of the fishy business.
After they've arrived and I've had a good laugh, I return it just before the end of the cooling-off period.
{squeak}
The fact that if I make a single mistake, I'll actually be forced to buy these worthless items... that last-minute thrill is irresistible...
{dreamy/ zoku zoku}
Ooh... even though I'd never want them...


Page 8

Jun; You were just thinking, this kid is dark, weren't you.
Hm? Right?
{Kick kick}

Nori; {Ah}
No... nothing like that, I just thought you were a little disrespectful...

Jun; Get out.

Nori; But first!
You should try a hobby that's a little more upbeat, Jun-kun!
{lively}
What about lacrosse? See, big sister bought matching lacrosse sticks for us...

{door; close}

Nori; Nooo.

Jun; hmph

{chair; squeak}

Nori; {sob sob...}
Jun-kun...
{sob}


Page 9

Nori; At least... eat a meal with me,
And even... have a fun conversation together...
Like your hobby...
I want to hear more about it...
And, then, maybe even...
You'd consider going to school agai...

{bowling ball; thump}

Nori; {startled}
{Ack!}

{bowling ball; roll roll}

Nori; S... sorry...
I'm sorry...

Jun; Hmph...
That just ruined my mood.

{computer mouse; click click click click click click click}

Jun; ............
... Did the spirit Hollie descend to earth yet?

{drawer; open}

Jun; {snicker snicker}
Yeah, right.

Nori; I went out to get the newspaper, and this was on the porch...
Is... is this one of your mail-order stuff?

Jun; {Wow, it's big.}

{box; creak}


Page 12

*A doll is in the box.


Page 13

Nori; How beautiful...

Jun; It's a... doll. I don't think I ever bought this...
... What?

Nori; Jun-kun, I know what this is... you know, made of those "special" parts...
A Dutch

Jun; Go die!

Nori; I'm so releived... Here I was worrying about you since you didn't even try stealing my panties after going through puberty...

{book; Understanding Adolescence
Blue Sky Publications}

Nori; I have to collect call mom and dad about this immediately!
{I'll prepare red rice for dinner tonight!}

*In Japan, people eat red rice to celebrate happy occasions.

Jun; What!
{shock}

{door; slam}

Jun; Shit...
What is she thinking...


Page 14

Jun; ............
I don't understand... I'd never buy such a girly doll.
{shuffle shuffle}
Isn't there a warranty certificate or something? I have to send this back...
{clank}


Page 15

Jun; Whoa,
It's big...
Gently...
{I'm putting this back in}

{hair; soft...}


Page 16

Jun; It's made really well.
It's soft...
Do its eyes open?
{pull pull}
Hm...
Maybe if I turn it upside down...
............
............
So it does have them on...

{silent}


Page 17

Jun; Wha... what am I doing?
{It's just a doll.}
{look around}
　　　　A key...?
... What harm can come
From winding it up a bit...?

{key; click
mechanical sounds}

Jun; Huh...?

Doll; {mechanical sounds}

Nori; {knock knock}
{Jun-kuun}

Jun; {Huff huff}

Doll; {silent}

Jun; Uh... huh?
I... it's not moving...?
M... maybe I just imagined what I saw...

Doll; Why do you yell so loud?
{rise up}
You made me pass out.

Jun; Ack...
{scared}


Page 22

Doll; Sheesh... First thing I know, you start toying with a lady's body...
Human males are ruder than I imagined.

Jun; ... Whoa...
{intently}
　　　　The technology has come so far...

Doll; You.
What's your name?

Jun; {startled}
Ju...Jun...
Jun Sakurada.

Doll; Oh.

Jun; {I talked to her...}

Doll; What an unattractive name.
My name is <Shinku>.
The fifth doll of the Rozen Maidens.


Page 23

Shinku; And Jun, from now on
You will be my servant.

Jun; S... servant...!?
What kind of data did they put in her?

Shinku; Now, kiss the ring on your left hand.

Jun; Huh!?
What ring on my...
Left hand...
Wha, wha, what's this?
When did it get on my finger!?

Shinku; Don't bother trying to pull it off, your flesh will come off.


Page 24

Shinku; You're not the only one who is unwilling. I have to, because you wound me up.
You must have answered the artificial spirit Hollie's question.

Jun; Artifitial spirit... Don't tell me it was that fishy mail-order?
You're telling me that spam was.....?
No way......
Oh, I get it. It must be some new sales method based on spiritual stuff.
　　　　They do some pretty sophisticated stuff...
This doll must have some switch somewhere.

Shinku; Don't you touch me.
{slap}

Jun; Ack!


Page 25

Jun; Darn it... I won't fall for it... Something like that...
... Something like...
...... It's a curse.
Since I laughed at all those curse items from mail-order companies, I'm probably receiving divine punishment...
{depressed}
What should I do... dad... mom...

Shinku; {step step}
Still, what a modest room...
... Hm?
Hey.
I want to see that shelf.
Please hold me up.

Jun; {Why me...}
............
{mumble mumble}

Shinku; ............


Page 26

Shinku; You're holding me the wrong way!
{slap}

Jun; Ow
Sorry.

Shinku; Yes. This is the right way.

Jun; (How demanding...)

Shinku; Jun, what's that?

Jun; ...... It's a voodoo doll for curses...
{I bought it by mail-order.}

{doll; curse}

Shinku; ...Hey! I can't reach it, please get it for me.
You have a good doll, for a human.

Jun; Oh...... thank you very much.


Page 27

Shinku; ...... She's already here.

Jun; Uh...

Shinku; We didn't even have time to enjoy some tea.

{window; shatter}

Jun; Ack!

{knife; vibrate}

Jun; Wha... what is this...

Shinku; Hey, human.


Page 28

Shinku; I hate to say it, but
You're going to die here.
If you want to live, you must make a pact
Swear by the ring of roses
That you'll protect my Rosa Mystica.
