The Shimo Ranger fought to protect the peace on earth..

The five Shimo Rangers were playing cards (babanuki).  They suddenly
said that there should be other things that they should be doing instead
of playing cards..  But they couldn't decide what to do, so they just
kept playing cards.

The five Shimo Rangers went to a restaurant.  Mitaka Arisa was the
waitress at that restaurant.  The five Shimo Rangers yelled out the food
that they wanted.  They all said something different, and Arisa got
upset.  Arisa told them to repeat their orders, and the five Shimo
Rangers shouted out something different from last time!

Next the five Shimo Rangers went to a dessert store.
Shimoren Red: Old woman, please!
Shimoren Blue: Old woman!
Shimoren Green: Can't you hear old woman?
Shimoren Yellow: Old woman!
Shimoren Pink: Oneesan?
Sakura: Yes, what would you like?
Then the Shimo Rangers ordered various desserts.

The Shimo Rangers wanted to do the drawing for some prizes.  But Sakura
said that there was something much more fun.
Shimo Ranger: What?
Sakura: Horse race tickets.  This store is also a betting parlor.
Shimo Ranger: Hmm..
Sakura: We also have boat race tickets.

Next the five Shimo Rangers went to an aspiring manga artist, Isurugi
Takuya.  The Shimo Rangers were excited about the manga and various
models.  Isurugi told them to go away, because he was very close to the
deadline.  But the Shimo Rangers say that they will be his assistant.

Shimo Ranger: What is this sticker?
Takuya: It's called screen tone..
Shimo Ranger: Let's stick it on the dressor!
Takuya: Hey, that's expensive.

Then one of the Shimo Rangers spilled some tea on Takuya's manga that he
had just finished drawing..

Next the five Shimo Rangers went to an OL (office lady) who spoke in
Osaka-ben, Haneda Miyuki, who was thinking about committing suicide.
The Shimo Rangers started crying.  They said that they were lost and
they didn't know which train to take.  Miyuki recognized the girls as
Shimo Ranger.  She asked them where they lived, and gave them the direc-
tions to go home.  But Shimo Ranger still kept crying.

Miyuki: It's that train.  Hurry up and get in.
Shimo Ranger: I don't wanna go alone.
Miyuki: There are five of you.
Shimo Ranger: I want you to come with!
Miyuki: I'm busy.

The Shimo Rangers all started crying and grabbed Miyuki.  Then Miyuki
agreed to go with them..
