Previous Chapter: The Vanished Princess

ただいま! I'm Home! We're Back!
 'I', not 'we', because the focus is on Marle's return home.
リーネ広場 A.D.1000 Leene Square Leene Square
 The Gate opens, right where it was before, and the party steps out. The festival music plays, as usual.
マール「わーい!
  やっと帰って来られた!
  ね、クロノ、ルッカ!
  お城までいっしょに来てくれる?
  色々お世話になっちゃったし!
Marle: Yaaay!
We finally made it back!
Hey, Crono, Lucca!
Will you come with me to the castle?
I owe you one!
Marle: Phew!
 We're back!
 Crono, Lucca, why
 don't you come home with me to the
 castle?
 I'd like you to come over for dinner!
ルッカ「ゴメンなさいねマール。
  大変な目にあわせて。
Lucca: I'm sorry, Marle.
For making you go through all that.
Lucca: Sorry for putting you
 through all that, Marle.
マール「ううん、スリルあって
  とっても楽しかったよ。
  ステキな友達も出来たし!
Marle: Nah, it was thrilling and really fun.
I made great friends, for one thing!
Marle: Are you joking?
 That's the most fun I've had in
 months!
 And I have some new friends, too!
ルッカ「お城へは、クロノ
  あんたが送りなさいよ。
  ちゃんとエスコートしてあげるのよ。
  私はゲートの出てきた原因を
  調べてみるわ。
Lucca: Crono, you see her off to the castle.
Do a good job of escorting her.
I'll try investigating the cause of the Gate's appearance.
Lucca: Crono, be a gentleman
 and take her home.
 I've got some work to do.
マール「またねー ルッカ!
  じゃ、お城までエスコートして
  クロノ!
Marle: Later, Lucca!
Well then, escort me to the castle, Crono!
Marle: See you soon, Lucca!
 Will you escort me home,
 Crono?
 On the A.D.1000 world map, Tranquil Days always plays within (most) town boundaries, and 1-5 みどりの思い出(Memories of Greenery) always plays in the areas beyond the towns.

ガルディア城 A.D.1000 Guardia Castle Guardia Castle
 Though 400 years have passed, the castle looks nearly identical. Even the background music is the same.
「マールディア様~! Marledia-samaaa! Princess Nadia!
 A man runs up to Marle from the direction of the throne room. He looks much like A.D.600's Chancellor.
大臣「ご無事でしたか?
  一体、今までどこに!?
  何者かにさらわれたという情報もあり
  兵士達に国中を探させていたのですぞ!
  ム! そこのムサいヤツ!
  そうか、お前だなっ!?
  マールディア様をさらったのは!
Chancellor: You were safe?
Up to now, where on earth!?
There were even reports that you were kidnapped by someone, and we had the soldiers searching all over the country!
Hey! You scum there!
That's it, it's you, isn't it!?
The one who kidnapped Marledia-sama!
CHANCELLOR: Are you all right?
 Where have you been?!
 I heard you were abducted!
 We had soldiers searching for you!
 Scoundrel!
 You're the one, huh?
 Kidnapping Princess Nadia!
 ムサい (musai, 無才 in kanji) means witless and talentless.
マール「違うよ! クロノは…… Marle: You're wrong! Crono.... Marle: No!
 Crono's...
大臣「えーい! ひっとらえろ!
  マールディア様をまどわせ
  王家転ぷくをくわだてる
  テロリストめッ!!
Chancellor: Hey! Arrest him!
Damned terrorist, misleading Marledia-sama and plotting to overthrow the royal family!!
CHANCELLOR: Admit it!
 You confused her and tried to take
 over the throne!
 Terrorist!!
マール「や、やめてーッ! Marle: S, stop it! Marle: S, stop it!
 A swarm of soldiers starts to converge on Crono.
マール「やめなさ~いッ!! Marle: Stoooop!! Marle: Stop this at once!!
 The soldiers all suddenly stop and hastily bow. I think it's pretty funny.
大臣「な、何をしておる! Chancellor: Wh, what are you doing! CHANCELLOR: What are you doing!
兵士「しかしマールディア様が…… Soldier: But Marledia-sama.... SOLDIER: But Princess Nadia said
 to...
大臣「かまわ~ん! ひっとらえ~いッ!! Chancellor: I don't caaare! Arrest him!! CHANCELLOR: Idiots!
 Detain him!!
 The soldiers pile onto Crono like a pack of overeager rookie linebackers (sorry, couldn't resist). The music stops.
マール「クロノーッ!! Marle: Cronoooo!! Marle: Crono!!
