The one entrusted with the Earth in the name of the goddess Athena!!
Previously: Mariya was overwhelmed by the Pisces Gold Cloth. At that moment, Setsuna awakened the power of the Andromeda Saint and successfully sealed Pisces. However, the Pisces Cloth was stolen by Adonis, who claimed to be an agent of the Lord of the Underworld, Hades!!

Rhadamanthys: - Adonis! - How dare you return alone so carefree?
Adonis: - Those who possess exceptional power, even among the Specters…

Adonis: - …the Three Judges of the Underworld!!

Rhadamanthys: - You… what happened to Alraune? - He is my subordinate.
Adonis: - Don't know, don't care.
Rhadamanthys: - Damn you!! - Don't tell me you left him to die?!
Adonis: - Let go of me.

Rhadamanthys: - !!
Adonis: - My mission was to recover the Gold Cloth. - I had no obligation to look after the weak.

Minos: - (Hahahah…) - He doesn't mince words, does he? - Truly an interesting man.
Rhadamanthys: - He's an infuriating… - ...fake!
Aiakos: - There is no doubt he is Lord Hades's vessel. - We can't just rashly lay our hands on him.

Kiki: - Good… You're awake.
Mariya: - Kiki…
Kiki: - You seem to be all right.
Mariya: - Where's Set?
Kiki: - I gave her a medicinal infusion. She's resting in the next room now. - She took on a huge burden when she used Andromeda's healing abilities. - They're by no means all-powerful…
Mariya: - Set… she did that for me… - (Huh?) - There's somebody else here?
Kiki: - Yeah…

Mariya: - Kiki, that man!! - Isn't that Alraune Queen?!
Kiki: - I'm sorry to ask this so soon after you woke up, - but please purify him.

Mariya: - (No way!!) - This staff can purify enemy Surplices too?!
Kiki: - If left unattended, those in the Army of the Underworld will eventually be revived. - But if you put away their Surplice card in the jar, - they won't become a Specter. - Go on now. - He won't awaken as an Evil Star again.

Mariya: - !! - Kiki… I'm sorry. - The enemy took Pisces. - He… turned pitch black and was crying… tears of blood… - (I couldn't do a thing…)
Page 15
Kiki: - That's not true. - You went beyond my expectations. - You returned someone who had been enthralled by an Evil Star back into a human and saved their life. - It was a fierce first mission. - Thank you, Mariya.
Pages 16 + 17
Kiki: - If anything, it was my fault we lost Pisces. - I didn't think… - there would be someone that powerful on Hades's side… - One side dominates white into black, the other purifies black into white… - This is a battle where each side is out to color the cards lying scattered across the board. - There's no need to worry. - There will definitely be an opportunity to take back Pisces.
Mariya: - (nod)

Mariya: - Ah… - Waaah!! - I've been off doing Saint stuff, there's no way I've been able to study! - (I don't want to repeat a year!!)
Setsuna: - Mariya, you're being too loud!!
Student #1: - Tachibana's lost it!
Student #2: - What's "Saint"? A game?
Aries: - Saints are expected to do well both in school and in combat. - Besides, Setsuna is in the same position as you!!
Mariya: - Don't put me in the same bag as the top student in the grade, fluffball!!!

Guest: - Which building is the Celestia Girls' Dorm in?
Mariya: - I wonder who he is? Maybe a student's parent? - (They're really fluent in Japanese.) - It's right there, but the entrance is hard to find, so I'll show you the way.
Aries: - There goes the do-gooder again…
Guest: - (bow) - I'm sorry for the trouble. - Thank you, I really do appreciate it. - Thanks to you, we'll make it in time for the move-in inspection.
