Episode 1: A Peddler Appears (行商現る)

	ENGLISH	JAPANESE
	You there, mister cat! Come over here real quick!~	そこのネコのおにーさん！ ちょっと寄ってみてや〜
	(Albireo enters the scene.)
	(Mister cat...?)	ネコのおにーさん・・・
	What is it?	なんでしょう？
	Here! Today's featured item is this urn!	はいっ！ 本日のオススメはこのツボ！
	Put it in your living room! Your study! An alcove! No matter where you put it, it's gonna look great!~	リビングに！書斎に！床の間に！ どこに置いても いい味出しまっせ〜
	(Albireo inches a little closer.)
	...? Ah, you must be a peddler. ...An urn, hm... Let's see...	・・・？ ああ 行商の方でしたか ツボ・・・ですか・・・ どれどれ・・・

Episode 2: Magic Urn (魔法のツボ)

	ENGLISH	JAPANESE
	Hm... My sincerest apologies, meow. I do not feel very inclined towards this...	うーん・・・ 申し訳にゃいのですが あまり気が進みませんね・・・
	*rattle rattle...*	ゴソゴソ・・・
	Mrow?! The urn... did it just move?	にゃっ！？ 今動きませんでしたか？ このツボ・・・
	Wh-what're you talking about?! Th-there's no such thing as an urn that can move on its own...	なっ なにを言うとんのや！ ツボが動くなんて そ そんなことあるわけ・・・
	*roll...*	ゴロン・・・
	...it's rolling by itself...?	・・・勝手に転がりましたよ・・・？
	R-right, that's right! This strange moving urn is one-of-a-kind! You won't find one like it anywhere in the world! And it's real cheap, too...!	せ せやったせやった！ これは世にも珍しい 動くツボやったわ！ 他にはないで！お安く・・・
	No thank you, I'll pass... meow.	いえ 結構です・・・にゃん

Episode 3: Luxury Carpet (高級じゅうたん)

	ENGLISH	JAPANESE
	That's... Ah! That's not all- I'll throw in this carpet with the deal, too! A high quality Persian carpet!	そんな・・・そうや！ ほんならこのじゅうたんもつけたるわ！ ペルシャの高級品やで！
	Oh, my! What a wonderful carpet! I believe this could go in the restaurant... meow!	おお！これはすばらしい！ これならお店に置けそうですね ・・・にゃん
	Alrighty! Adding the urn, that'll be 10,000,000 Paseli! *	よっしゃ！ ほなツボと合わせて 1000万でええわ！
	...mrow? Ten million...?	・・・にゃ？ いっせんまん・・・？
	For your patronage, how about I lower it to 9,980,000 Paseli?!	ほなサービスで 998万でどや！？
	Um... I do not have that kind of money... and I said nothing about buying it in the first place...	あの・・・そんなお金は・・・ そもそも買うなんて一言も・・・
	Oh no, no! This isn't good!~ I'm only gonna do this once, okay? 9,950,000 Paseli! Final offer!	あららーかなわんな〜 今回だけやで？ 995万！これ以上はあかんで！

* (No currency is specified in the original text. I assumed at first that it was yen because... well, this is a Japanese game- but Lapistoria is its own world. Ultimately, a friend of mine suggested I use Paseli for the currency, both because it's Konami-flavored yen and because it's actually canon to Pop'n starting with UniLab. Seems like a nice universial currency, right?)

Episode 4: Hard Sell? (押し売り?)

(歌劇 月夜のアラビア will be available for play.)

	ENGLISH	JAPANESE
	Mrr... I have to go to work now...	にゃ・・・ 私 お仕事がありますので・・・
	WAIT WAIT WAIT! Hold on a sec! How about... um... how about you trade your lapis for the goods?!	ちょちょちょ！ 待ってーな ほんなら・・・えーと・・・ ラピスと交換でどうや？
	No. I cannot allow that.	いや それは困ります
	In that case... Play Pop'n with me! If I win, we'll do the trade- your lapis for my wares! And if you win, I'll give you just the urn!	ほんなら・・・ウチとポップンして ウチが勝ったらラピスと交換！ おにーさんが勝ったら ツボだけあげるわ！
	...but I have no need for the urn...	･･･いらないですけど・・・
	Let's go! Are you ready?!	いくで！ 準備はええか！？
	How troubling...	困りましたね・・・

Final Episode: Where the Urn Ends Up (ツボの行方)

	ENGLISH	JAPANESE
	Oof! You're pretty good! Can't be helped, then- as promised, you'll get the urn!	くぅ〜！やりおるなぁ！ しゃーない 約束のツボや！
	I will pass, thank you... meow.	ですから・・・結構です ・・・にゃん
	Ah, well. Hope to see you again soon anyways!	まぁええわ ほな またよろしゅうに！
	(Albireo backs away.)
	She was quite a pushy one...	なかなか強引な方でしたね・・・
	(Akane enters the scene.)
	Oh! You there, young lady! Would you be interested in this urn? It can move on its own, so it'll be a fun toy!~	おっと！そこのおじょーちゃん！ このツボいらんか？ 勝手に動いておもろいで〜
	Hm...? An urn...?	ん・・・？ツボ・・・？
	Ooh, are you interested? Where's your mom and dad, then?	おっ 興味あるんか？ で おとんとおかんはどこや？
	Unbelievable... her business spirit is indomitable, meow...	にゃんと・・・ 商魂たくましい・・・

(I may end up revisiting this one. Lazuli is hard to translate because of her Kansai dialect...)
