Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon episode 23
title: Nagareboshini negaiwo!  Naru-chan no junai
aired: 1992.08.22

Usagi and Naru-chan were at a swimming pool.  Naru-chan was sitting at
the side of the pool thinking about Sanjouin Masato.  Usagi came up to
her from the water, and splashed water on her.
Naru-chan said, "Usagi, you're so childish."
Usagi then asked, "Are you an adult?"
Naru-chan answered that she was and said, "I've fallen in love."
Usagi laughed and said, "You need a partner for love."
Naru-chan said, "Of course."
Usagi got worried and said, "You can't have Tuxedo Kamen or Motoki."
Then Naru-chan said that she had fallen in love with Sanjouin Masato.
Usagi tried to tell Naru-chan that Sanjouin was a bad one, but Naru-chan
just walked away.

Usagi was discussing Naru-chan with Ami and Rei.  They said that Usagi
should tell Naru-chan about Sanjouin.

Queen Veril couldn't find Nefright, and she was getting upset.

Nefright decided to get the ginzuishou (a special silver crystal with
some secret power), since his other attempts to get power had failed.
Then Zoisight appeared and argued with Nefright, saying that getting
the ginzuishou was his assignment.  After Zoisight left, Nefright used
his power and found out that Naru-chan had the secret behind the
ginzuishou.  Nefright got a black crystal which would lead him to the
ginzuishou.

Zoisight went to Kunzight.  Kunzight told Zoisight that he should just
take it away from Nefright.  Then Zoisight sent his youma (an old woman)
to get the ginzuishou from Nefright.

Usagi went with Luna to Naru-chan's house.  But she couldn't build up
the courage to go in.  Usagi decided that she was going to go ask
Motoki for advice.

Usagi went to the game center where Motoki worked.  Motoki was helping
out another girl at a game, and Usagi got a little jealous.

Motoki, Mamoru, and Usagi went to a coffee shop, and Usagi explained the
situation.  Motoki said that she should just let it go for a while.  But
Mamoru said that Usagi should tell Naru-chan right away, to show the real
friendship.  Motoki agreed.  Then Usagi became happy and ordered a lot
of food.  Mamoru and Motoki got worried because they didn't have much
money.  But Usagi said that she would pay for it.

Usagi went to Naru-chan's house.  When Naru-chan opened the door, Usagi
told Naru-chan that Masato was a bad one and that she should give up on
him.  Then Usagi ran off before Naru-chan could say anything.

That night Naru-chan was thinking about Sanjouin.  Then she got a phone
call from him.  After the phone call, Naru-chan left immediately for the
park.

At the park, Naru-chan and Sanjouin were sitting on a bench.  Sanjouin
said, "I have to say good-bye.  I'm being chased by some bad ones, and
I don't want to get you mixed up in it."  Then Naru-chan asked if there
was anything that she could do to help.  Sanjouin said that he needed
the ginzuishou.

Naru-chan didn't know what the ginzuishou was.  Then she remembered one
crystal that her mother showed her, which sparkled with a silver color.
Naru-chan asked Sanjouin to wait and ran back home.  Naru-chan stole the
crystal from the safe in her mother's store and ran out.

Usagi and Luna were on their way to Naru-chan's house.  Luna told Usagi
to go see Naru-chan, but Usagi really didn't want to go.  Then they ran
into Naru-chan's mother.

Usagi and Luna ran to the park.  "Moon prism power.  Make up!"

Naru-chan gave the crystal to Sanjouin.  Sanjouin tested the crystal,
but his kurozuishou didn't respond.  Naru-chan became happy that she did
something to help out Sanjouin.  Then the kurozuishou started responding,
as Naru-chan started glowing.  Sanjouin thought that he had to
investigate Naru-chan some more and was going to take her somewhere.

Then Sailor Moon appeared.  Sailor Moon told Naru-chan that Sanjouin was
Nefright, and one of the dark kingdom.  Naru-chan couldn't believe it.
Then Sanjouin blasted Sailor Moon.  Sailor Moon started crying, as she
fell down and tried to avoid the attacks.  Sanjouin used his "starlight
attack".  But Sailor Moon escaped.

Just as Sanjouin was going to attack again, Sailor Mercury and Sailor
Mars came.  They attacked Sanjouin with the "shabon spray" and "fire
soul".  But Sanjouin jumped out of the way.  Then Sailor Moon used the
"moon tiara action".  It was heading right toward Sanjouin.  Then
Naru-chan ran in front of Sanjouin to protect him.  Naru-chan said,
"I'll protect him."  Then Sailor Moon said, "Please stop," and the moon
tiara stopped just before Naru-chan.

The Sailor Senshi told Naru-chan to get out of the way.  But Naru-chan
didn't and said, "I'll give my life to protect him.  Because I love him."

Then the kurozuishou started flashing.  The youma appeared and tried to
steal the kurozuishou, thinking it was the ginzuishou.  Sanjouin blasted
the youma to protect Naru-chan.  Then the youma and Sanjouin fought.
Sailor Moon used the moon tiara action and killed the youma.

Sanjouin gave back the crystal that Naru-chan had brought, as it wasn't
the ginzuishou.  The Sailor Senshi tried to make Sanjouin think more
about Naru-chan, and not use her.  But Sanjouin said, "The world will be
in the hands of the dark kingdom if they get the ginzuishou," and left.
