[Nothing gets past Maria-sama]

Maria's mom: Dear, it's time.
Maria's dad: Whoops, it's 7 already?
Maria's dad: Alright, Maria, dear, see you later.
Maria: Have a safe trip.
Maria: Oh? Mom, aren't you going to be late?
Maria's mom: I'm going straight to our customer today
Maria's mom: So I'm going to be late today.
Maria's mom: Here, buy yourself something for dinner.
Maria: 5000 yen? That's too much
Maria's mom: Well, I didn't want you to worry about not having enough, so...
Maria: I understand...
Maria: But I told you before
Maria: It makes me worried to have so much money for dinner
Maria: So... I'm only taking 1000 yen, ok?
Maria's mom: Alright.
Maria's mom: So, any plans for today?
Maria: I have to go to my part time job after school so I might be late too.
Maria's mom: I see
Maria's mom: It's great that you have something you want to do, but try not to get home too late, ok?
Maria: Fufu, you always worry too much.
Maria: ...
Maria: Oh my, is that
Girl: Hahaha, that's so weird~
Girl2: Right?
Girl: Huh? Is that...
Girls: Maria Onee-chan!
Maria: Oh my, you're so full of energy today.
Maria: Buut
Maria: It's dangerous to run on the street like that, you know.
Girl: I'm sorry~
Girl2: Who is she?
Girl: Umm, she's the Onee-san from the daycare I go to after school.
Maria: (Yep, I work part time as an assistant advisor taking care of children.)
Maria: (The children there call me Onee-san.)
Maria: (It's not like I'm doing it for the money.)
Girl1: She plays with us, we eat sweets together, and she helps us with our homework.
Girl2: Oh~
Girls: *Chatter Chatter*
Maria: (The reason why I work there...)
Maria: (Oh~ they're just the cutest.)
Maria: (It's because... I love children!)

Girl: Maria Onee-chan, read me a book.
Maria: Sure~
Girl2: Maria Onee-chan, help me with my homework.
Maria: Sure, since we're all here, let's do this together.
Maria: Let's see, who's in the same grade as you... Shin-kun!
Shin: ...
Maria: Shin-kun~
Shin: Wha?
Maria: ...
Maria: ...Is everything alright?
Shin: ...Huh?
Maria: You look down
Shin: Mmm... I'm ok.
Maria: ...Alright, I'll believe you.
Maria: But if anything happens, you can always talk to me no matter what, ok?
Maria: Now, let's do our homework together.
Shin: ...ok!
Assistant: ...What happened?
Maria: That boy's been looking down for the past few days.
Assistant: I see...
Maria: If there were something I could do I would, but...
Maria: (I can't stop myself from reaching out and trying to help when I see a child looking for help.)
Maria: (It was the same, back then...)
Maria: So you can grant me any single wish...?
Maria: I'm not really sure what to say when I actually think about it...
Maria: It'd be great if I had a wish that would make my life a bit more fulfilling but...
*Vrooom*
Maria: Mmm? That car...
Maria: !?
Maria: Look out!
*Beep Beep*
*Thud*
Bystander: Kyaaaaa!
Bystander2: The child!
bystander3: An ambulance! Call an ambulance, quick!
Maria: Oh no!
Maria: Kyuubey!
Maria: Save that child!
Kyuubey: Is that your wish?
Maria: Yes, that's right!
Kyuubey: Are you sure? I can only grant you one wish.
Maria: I don't care, save that child's life!
Maria: (Well, it's not like I regret becoming a magical girl, but...)
Shin: ...
Maria: (He looks so sad all by himself again...)
Maria: (Mmm~ Maybe not sad, but...)
Maria: (...Lonely?)
Assistant: Shin-kun, your mom's here to pick you up~!
Shin: !?
Shin: O-Ok!
Maria: ...!
Maria: (He looks a bit happier...)

Maria: Excuse me, you must be Shin-kun's mom... can I talk with you for a moment?
Shin's mom: Oh, Maria Onee-san, what happened?
Maria: Well...
Maria: Ah, Shin-kun, please wait here.
Shin: Ok~!
Shin's mom: Huh? ...Shin... is feeling down?
Maria: I'm sorry if I might be misunderstanding something...
Maria: But I wonder if your son is feeling lonely.
Maria: Just now, he cheered up the instant you came in.
Shin's mom: ...
Maria: ... Are you really busy at work?
Shin's mom: My company is more understanding than most already...
Shin's mom: They let me leave earlier than the others...
Shin's mom: But this is still the earliest I can get here every day.
Shin's mom: And... I still need to work on Saturdays...
Maria: I see...
Maria: Shin-kun... is still in first grade... so I'm sure that's...
Shin's mom: ...To be honest...
Shin's mom: I knew he must have been lonely all by himself.
Shin's mom: But I pretended not to notice, until you pointed it out...
Shin's mom: I'm... an awful mother.
Maria: ...
Maria: ...but if you feel that way
Maria: Why don't you go somewhere with him, just the two of you?
Shin's mom: ...Huh?
Maria: I think that'd be better than worrying about things!
Shin's mom: ...you're right.
Shin's mom: I'll really be an awful mom if I don't do something now!
Shin's mom: Alright! I'll spend the next day I have off with him!
Maria: Yes!
Shin's mom: Ah, but... I don't know if I have enough time to plan something before my next day off...
Shin's mom: And I don't know what kids these days like...
Maria: Leave that to me!
Shin's mom: Huh?
Maria: I'll put something together by this weekend that Shin-kun will love!

Maria: It might be a bit cliché, but this should do the trick.
Maria: Next is...
Schoolgirl1: Ah, Maria-sama, what are you doing?
Schoolgirl2: This place just opened. Planning a date there?
Schoolgirl1: These places are supposed to be popular with families with children.
Schoolgirl2: Places popular with families with children...
Schoolgirl2: ... Are you going with your dead husband's love child?
Maria: Ok, ok, stop right there!
Maria: You joke about me being a widow every day...
Maria: Why's that?
Schoolgirl1: We also added "neglected wife" to your character profile.
Maria: Yeah...
Maria: Do I really look that old?
Schoolgirl1: It's not about that, you just give off this motherly aura.
Schoolgirl1: It's like we're just children in front of you, Maria-sama.
Schoolgirl1: I wish I could be Maria-sama's child, so she'd pamper me!
Maria: I see, it's all my fault...
Maria: Understood, let's do it.
Maria: How about I become your mother?
Schoolgirl2: What!?
Maria: Call me mommy...
Schoolgirl2: Huh!? Wha!?
Maria: Fufu, you're the one who asked for it.
Schoolgirl2: M-Mommy...
Schoolgirl1: Her face is all red.
Schoolgirl1: None of us ever stood a chance against Maria-sama.
Maria: Oh my? Are we done already? Fufufu, what a shame.
Schoolgirl1: So, what were those plans for anyway?
Maria: There's this mom and her son at my job who're looking for something to do this weekend.
Maria: So, I'm planning something for them this weekend.
Maria: I was wondering if there were any places parents and children could enjoy together.
Schoolgirl2: Oh~ So you need to do those kind of things too when you work at a daycare?
Schoolgir11: Do you get paid for that too?
Maria: Paid? No.
Maria: It's just something I'm sticking my nose into.
Schoolgirl2: For free? Why?
Maria: Well, if you ask me
Maria: It's because I can't not help when I see a family that needs it.
Shin's mom: Hello
Assistant: Ah, Shin-kun's mom, hello.
Assistant: Shin-kun~ Your mom's here.
Maria: Hello.
Shin's mom: Maria Onee-san, hello.
Maria: Here, I wrote up the plans.
Shin's mom: Really? Can I take a look?
Shin's mom: Wow~ it's so detailed.
Shin's mom: Mmm, I didn't even know they had these kinds of things.
Shin's mom: Thank you!
Shin's mom: I think this is going to be a great weekend!
Shin's mom: I was a bit worried I'd be the only one enjoying our time together,
Shin's mom: But now, I'm looking forward to it!
Maria: No problem, enjoy yourselves.
Maria: That should settle things... hopefully...

[Maria-sama will watch over you]

Maria: (Today's Saturday)
Maria: (I wonder if Shin-kun and her mom are having fun today.)
Maria: ...
Shin's mom: I was a bit worried I'd be the only one enjoying our time together.
Maria: (I wonder if... Shin-kun's mom is ok...)
Maria: (I might be sticking my nose where it doesn't belong,)
Maria: (But I can't stand sitting here and doing nothing.)
Maria: (They should be around here by now.)
Maria: Ah...
Maria: (There they are.)
Maria: (Fufu, Looks like they're following the schedule so far.)
Shin: Go! Fly!
Shin's mom: Wow~ It flew so high~
Maria: (They're having a "make your own plastic bottle rocket" event at the park by the beach.)
Maria: (Looks like they're having fun, maybe I was worried for nothing...)
Shin: Mom, make one too!
Shin's mom: Huh? No, no, it's fine.
Shin: But I'm the only one doing anything.
Shin's mom: These are for children so you should be doing them.
Shin: Ok!
Shin: That one flew pretty high too~
Maria: ...
Maria: (Maybe I should watch them... a bit longer.)
Shin's mom: We still have some time until our next destination so how about we play in the park for now.
Shin: Ok!
Shin's mom: That was fun~
Shin: Yeah!
Shin: Ah, everyone's playing in the water fountain.
Shin: Mom, I want to get into the fountain too!
Shin's mom: Huh?
Shin's mom: ... No.
Shin: Eh~ Why?
Shin's mom: Because this park's fountains are supposed to be off limits...
Shin: The other kids are playing on it! Why can't I play too?
Shin's mom: Well... umm, this is tough...
Shin's mom: Umm... how do I explain...
Shin: ...
Shin: It's fine... I won't play.

Shin's mom: ...
Shin: ...
Maria: (Things look... bad... they're not talking...)
Maria: (If that's the case...)
Shin's mom: ...
Shin: ...
Maria: Oh my, Shin-kun?
Shin: Huh?
Shin: Ah, Maria Onee-chan!
Shin; Why are you here?
Maria: I just came here to have some fun.
Maria: What a huge coincidence we'd bump into each other here~
Shin's mom: ... Coincidence? But... you're the one who put together this schedule.
Shin's mom: Did you come here to help...
Maria: Just "ssshh" for now.
Shin: I'm playing with mom!
Maria: That's great.
Shin: Are you jealous?
Shin: Then I can play with you too.
Maria: Really? I'd love that.
Maria: Alright, let's go then.
Maria: (I feel awful for butting in when this was supposed to be a time for just the two of them,)
Maria: (But if that way I can help them talk to each other...)
Shin: ...
Maria: Shin-kun, over here~
Maria: Can you get to where am I?
Shin: Uuugh... so high.
Maria: (Shin-kun is only in first grade.)
Maria: (I wonder if he's still afraid of the tightrope bridge)
Maria: (But...)
Shin: ...
Shin's mom: Shin, don't give up
Shin: It's wobbling...
Shin's mom: ...I'm here with you
Shin: But... ugh...
Shin's mom: ...
Maria: Mom!
Shin's mom: ...Me?
Maria: Take his hand!
Shin's mom: Huh?
Shin: Ugh...
Shin's mom: ...Shin.
Shin: ...
Shin's mom: ...Shin!
Shin: ...Huh?
Shin's mom: ...let's... hold hands.
Shin's mom: That way, you can make it to the end.
Shin: ...!
Shin: O-Okay!
Maria: Uhhh...

Shin: Mom, I want this one.
Shin's mom: Can you eat it? It's really spicy
Shin: I can do it!
Shin: It's yummy!
Shin's mom: Wow, so you can eat this kind of food now!
Shin's mom: Then, I'll make this for you next time.
Shin: Really? Yay!
Maria: (I was worried about how things would turn out after they stopped talking...)
Maria: (But looks like things are ok now.)
Maria: (I'll go home once they're finished here.)
*Ring Ring*
Shin's mom: Ah, a call.
Shin's mom: ...Huh? ...From the Chief Director?
Maria: (What?)
Shin's mom: I wonder what happened.
Shin's mom: Yes? Hello?
Shin's mom: Yes... Yes...
Shin's mom: Huh? Right now?
Maria: !?
Maria: (Please... say no!)
Shin's mom: ...
Shin's mom: ...Understood
Shin's mom: I'm on my way.
Maria: (Ah...)
Shin's mom: ...
Shin: Mom? What's wrong?
Shin's mom: Shin... I'm sorry...
Shin's mom: I... need to go to the office right now....
Shin; What?
Shin: But today is your day off!
Shin's mom: I'm really sorry...
Shin: No way...
Shin's mom: You need to go home now. We can do something next time.
Shin: ...
Maria: (He looks so sad again.)
Maria: (...Guess I have no choice.)
Maria: Excuse me... do you mind if I keep him company?
Maria: I'll take him home once it gets dark out.
Shin's mom: ...really?
Shin's mom: I'll feel a lot more relieved if you're with him.
Shin's mom: Alright, please take care of Shin.
Shin's mom: If anything happens give me a call, ok?
Shin's mom: Shin, be good and behave.
Shin: ...
Maria: Alright Shin-kun, let's go have lots of fun!
Shin: ...
Maria: ...

Maria: Shin-kun, do you play around here a lot?
Shin: Not really.
Maria: I see.
Maria: Alright, then I'll show you a lot of fun places.
Maria: Make sure you don't forget where they are
Maria: So you can show them to your mom later, ok?
Shin. Yep, ok.
Shin: I hope I get a chance... to show them to her.
Shin: Because my mom... is busier than other moms.
Maria: ...
Maria: (I see...)
Maria: (He feels lonely comparing himself to the other kids.)
Maria: (I felt that way too...)
Girl1: Mmn-!
Girl1: Your dad works in that tall building!?
Maria: Yep!
Girl1: Hey, what does he do?
Maria: What was it? ... Something to do with international trade?
Maria: He buys things from people from other countries.
Girl1: Other countries? That's so cool!
Maria: That's where my mom met him.
Girl1: Office romance?
Girl1's Mom: It's getting dark, let's go home~
Girl1: Ah, my mom's here!
Girl1: Alright, I'm going home now.
Girl1: See you tomorrow Maria-chan!
Maria: Yeah, see you tomorrow!
Maria: ...I should go home too.
Maria: Ah, I need to buy a bentou from the convenience store...
Maria: ...
Maria: ....I miss mom's cooking...
Maria: (I don't want him to go through the same things I did.)
Shin: ...
Maria: (If he goes home like this...)
Maria: (Today will just be an awful memory for him.)
Maria: (I need to do everything I can...)
Maria: (To make today a great memory for him!)
Maria: For his sake...

[The Magic of the Virgin Mary]

Shin: Wow~ It's so cool~!
Maria: It's called a ghost shark.
Maria: Ah. Hey, Shin-kun, do you want to go here?
Shin: Huh? ...The striped beakfish show?
Shin: But I like dolphins and penguins more...
Maria: You'll regret it if you miss it~
Shin: Well... if you really want to go...
Maria: Fufufu, thank you.
Shin: That was so cool!
Maria: Fufu
Shin: I want to buy souvenirs! And then, and then!
Shin's mom: Haaa... Haaa...
*Ring Ring*
Shin's mom: Uh? Another call...
Shin's mom: Hello
Shin's mom: Huh? Things are.... alright?
Shin's mom: Yes, thank you...
Shin's mom: Thank you for everything
*Beep*
Shin's mom: I... don't need to go to the office anymore...
Shin's mom: First of all, I need to go back to Shin.
Shin's mom: ...but.
Shin's mom: How should I even face him...
Shin: It looks so good!
Maria: Fufu, yeah, the takoyaki looks delicious.
Maria: Let's sit there and eat it.
Shin: Wha- but that's a waste of time.
Maria: But you shouldn't eat while you walk.
Shin: ...
Shin: Mom said the same thing.
Shin: But everyone at school always eats while they walk.
Shin: Why am I the only one who can't?
Shin: So mom and Maria Onee-chan both think I'm...
Maria: It's because it's dangerous.
Shin: ... It's dangerous?
Maria: Yes.
Maria: It's dangerous to walk without paying attention.
Maria: You could fall and get hurt.
Maria: Or the food could get stuck in your throat.
Maria: And you know?
Shin: ...What is it?
Maria: I think the food would be more tasty
Maria: If we take our time to eat it while sitting together.
Maria: I'm sure that's also why your mom told you not to walk while you're eating.
Shin: Ah...
Shin: Then when mom told me
Shin: That I couldn't play in the fountain...
Maria: If you get wet you could catch a cold.
Maria: And fountains weren't made to play in anyway.
Maria: They're made out of hard stone and they have lots of sharp corners.
Shin: If I fall on them... I could get hurt...
Maria: That's right.
Maria: There's always a good reason
Maria: When your mom tells you that you can't do something.
Shin: I get it, let's eat at the bench!
Maria: Fufu, thank you.
Shin's mom: ...

Shin: It's the last one.
Maria: You can have it.
Shin: It's alright, I don't want it.
Maria: Are you just trying to be nice?
Shin: I don't want to eat it.
Maria: Ah... I see. I'll put it aside then.
Shin: Hehehe.
Shin's mom: Excuse me...
Maria: Huh?
Shin: Mom!?
Shin: W-What happened?
Shin's mom: The office called...
Shin's mom: They said everything was fine and I didn't need to go back.
Shin: That's great~
Shin's mom: So, I need to ask Onee-san for a favor...
Shin: Wait here while she and I talk, ok?
Shin: Ok~
Maria: ...A favor? ...What could it be?
Shin's mom: I'm not confident I know how to face him...
Shin's mom: I don't know how to express myself... and no matter what I do I always end up regretting it...
Maria: I-I see... so...?
Shin's mom: So please!
Shin's mom: I want him to have fun with me...
Shin's mom: I want to get along better... with my precious Shin...!
Shin's mom: When you were with him... you almost looked like the Virgin Mary...
Shin's mom: I want to be like you...!
Maria: So that's what it is.
Maria: But then...
Maria: I think you'll be fine.
Shin's mom: ...What do you mean?
Shin's mom: Shin?
Shin: Sorry, I heard everything.
Shin: Mom!
Shin's mom: Kyaaa!
Shin: Hehehe~
Maria: That's the biggest smile he's had the whole day.
Shin's mom: ...W-Why?
Shin: Mom!
Shin: But I thought you didn't love me?
Shin's mom: What!?
Maria: Exactly what he said.

Shin's mom: You thought I didn't love you?
Shin's mom: ...What do you mean?
Shin: Huh?
Shin: ...You didn't look like you were having fun when you were with me...
Shin: And... it seemed like you didn't want to talk...
Shin: So I thought that maybe you didn't love me...
Shin's mom: That's...
Shin's mom: because you don't love me.
Shin's mom: Because I'm always bothering you and telling you not to do things, so I thought you must not love me,
Shin: W-What!?
Shin: I do love you!
Shin: Aren't you the one who doesn't love me?
Shin's mom: You're wrong.
Shin's mom: Shin, you're the who doesn't love me.
Maria: Calm down you two!
Shin's mom: Onee-san...
Maria: Shin-kun loves you, and you love Shin-kun...
Maria: It's just that
Maria: neither of you realized.
Shin's mom: But... I spend all day at work.
Shin: Mom.
Maria: When I was little, my parents always came back home late.
Maria: I would be lying if I said I didn't feel lonely...
Maria: But I still loved my parents.
Shin: Yeah!
Shin's mom: Shin...
Maria: You don't need to try to be like the Virgin Mary.
Maria: We can't all be saints.
Shin's mom: ...
Shin's mom: ...Shin ...Onee-san.
Shin's mom: Thank you...
Shin: Yeah!
Shin: That's right, I bought you a present!
Shin: A stuffed striped beakfish! They're super smart.
Shin: And we also ate this takoyaki, it was yummy.
Shin: So, I saved one for you!
Shin's mom: Wow~ Thank you!
Maria Fufu

Maria: Alright, it's time for me to leave.
Maria: See you later Shin-kun.
Shin: Yes~ See you Onee-san
Shin's mom: Umm, thank you so much for today...
Shin's mom: I had a lot of fun, I think I'll be able to face Shin from now on.
Shin's mom: By the way... Onee-san...
Shin's mom: Are you sure you're not actually a neglected wife with an adult son by any chance?
Maria: I'm still in high school! And please stop talking to me so formally...
Shin's mom: Fufu... it was a joke.
Shin's mom: But I think one day you'll be a splendid mother.
Maria: ...Thank you.
Shin: Find yourself a good man!
Shin's mom: Don't say that!
Maria: Fufu
Maria: One way or another, everything is settled now. That was a lot of fun.
Maria: ...
Maria: ...Will I really be a good mother?
Maria: What? The Soul Gem... is my soul?
Kyuubey: That's correct, would you like me to explain it again?
Maria: ...
Maria: Then, my body is...
Kyuubey: You can think of it like a computer's peripheries.
Maria: ...
Maria: ...
Maria: ...
Maria: ...I wonder if I can really be a good mother...
Maria: After all, I'm already a magical girl.
