Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon episode 24
title: Naru-chan goukyuu!  Nefright ainoshi
aired: 1992.08.29

[This was a great episode.]

After school Naru-chan was with Usagi in a park.  Naru-chan was feeling
sad.  Usagi told Naru-chan to forget about Sanjouin.  But Naru-chan said,
"I can't.  No matter how bad he is.  Usagi, is there someone you like?"
"Well.. Yeah."
"Then you must know how I feel."

Nefright was wondering why the kurozuishou (black crystal which was used
to locate the ginzuishou) was responding to Naru-chan.  He was thinking
if it was "the energy of love".  Then Nefright recalled that Sailor Moon
knew Naru-chan.  So Nefright thought that Naru-chan must know the
identity of Sailor Moon.  Zoisight was sneaking around and saw the
kurozuishou.

At night when Naru-chan was sleeping Nefright went to her room.  The
kurozuishou responded to her.  Nefright thought that the ginzuishou could
be inside one's body.  Nefright used the kurozuishou and his power to
look through Naru-chan's body.

Nefright discovered that the ginzuishou was not there.  Then Naru-chan
woke up.  She saw Sanjouin's shadow.  Nefright told her the truth about
his identity.  Nefright said, "I learned about love from you."  He
continued a little bit about his evil group.  Then Nefright said, "Your
love made me wake up.  I want to fight against the evil forces with
Sailor Moon.  If you know who Sailor Moon is can you tell me?"
But since Naru-chan didn't know, she answered, "I'm sorry I don't know."
Nefright said, "You don't believe me."
"I do believe you.  I really don't know."  Naru-chan had tears going down
her face.  Then Nefright disappeared.  He was thinking that Naru-chan
might contact Sailor Moon if she knew who she was.

Zoisight was plotting against Nefright.  Zoisight's three youma wanted
to attack Nefright, but Zoisight said that Nefright was too strong.
Zoisight wanted to get Naru-chan as a hostage.

Usagi got a phone call in the middle of the night.  Naru-chan wanted to
discuss it with Usagi.  She said that Usagi was the only one she could
talk to.  Naru-chan said, "Sanjouin wanted to know where Sailor Moon is."
Usagi tried to find out more, but Naru-chan started crying.  Naru-chan
said that she felt better and hung up.

Luna and Usagi ran toward Naru-chan's house because they thought Nefright
was up to something.  Usagi was running too slow, so Luna went ahead by
herself.  Then the world started to distort around Usagi.  Usagi thought
it was the youma, and turned into Sailor Moon.  Then Nefright appeared
and said that he found out Sailor Moon's identity.  Sailor Moon asked
Nefright not to tell anyone.  Nefright said it didn't matter because he
would kill her now, and started blasting Sailor Moon.  Sailor Moon just
tried to get away.  Then Tuxedo Kamen came.  He said that he would fight
Nefright.

Then Nefright felt that Naru-chan was in trouble.  He heard Naru-chan
calling him, "Please help, Nefright-sama."
Nefright said, "Sailor Moon, I know who you are.  I can attack you any
time.  You better be waiting."  Then Nefright disappeared.
Sailor Moon was worried because her identity had been discovered.  But
Tuxedo Kamen said, "Don't worry if he found out about your identity."
Tuxedo Kamen also left.

When Luna arrived at Naru-chan apartment, she saw Naru-chan being taken
away by some youma.

Nefright arrived in Naru-chan's room.  There was a message from Zoisight
saying that he would exchange Naru-chan for the kurozuishou.  Nefright
said that he didn't care about Naru-chan, and burned the message.

Nefright went to where the three youma were keeping Naru-chan.  Naru-chan
was tied up against the wall.  The youma attacked Nefright, but he easily
defeated them.  Nefright didn't finish them off and said, "I won't give
you the kurozuishou!  Tell that to Zoisight."  Then Nefright carried
Naru-chan outside.

While she was in Nefright's arms, Naru-chan thanked him.  Nefright said,
"I didn't know why I saved you myself.  I've been tricking you until
now."  But Naru-chan said that she didn't mind, as long as he was near.

Then Naru-chan noticed that Nefright's arm was injured.  She led him to
a park.  Nefright sat down against a tree and Naru-chan ripped her pajama
shirt to tie Nefright's arm.  Naru-chan said that she wanted to go eat
chocolate parfait with Nefright.  She said that it was her little dream.
Nefright said, "Ok.  Let's go."  Naru-chan asked if Sunday was a holiday
for evil people too.  Nefright laughed.  Naru-chan was very happy to see
Nefright laugh.

Then the youma appeared.  One of them stabbed Nefright in his shoulder
with a large thorn.  The youma said, "That thorn will suck your energy
until you die."  Nefright told Naru-chan to escape, but she didn't want
to.  Naru-chan started trying to pull out the thorns from Nefright's
shoulder.  The youma said that a human couldn't pull it out.  Nefright
told Naru-chan to escape again.  But Naru-chan kept trying to pull it
out.  Naru-chan was crying and said, "Don't die."  Then the thorns
started coming out a little.

Youma was surprised and blasted them again.  Nefright grabbed Naru-chan
and covered her from the explosion.  Naru-chan was all right, but
Nefright was badly injured.  Then Zoisight appeared and grabbed the
kurozuishou.  Zoisight told Nefright that he should be happy to die with
the one that he loved and left.

The youma was going to finish Nefright off.  Nefright told Naru-chan to
escape.  But Naru-chan said no again.  Then the Sailor Senshi appeared.

Sailor Mercury used the "shabon spray!" and the youma couldn't move.
Then Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars used their "moon tiara action!" and
"fire soul!" to kill the youma.

Nefright said to Sailor Moon, "You're identity won't leak out."
Then Nefright said to Naru-chan, "I'm sorry. I can't go eat chocolate
parfait.  I lied to you till the end.  Please forgive me.  I'm glad
I met you."

Then Nefright disappeared.  Only the piece of cloth from Naru-chan's
pajamas remained.
Naru-chan cried.  ;_;
The Sailor Senshi were also in tears.  ;_;  ;_;  ;_;
