1
Once upon a time, a masquerade ball was held every year as a tradition at the palace where Cinderella lived.
2
Cinderella was so excited about the ball.
3
Pofu! What about a white swan costume?
4
Yes! That sounds great.
5
Hmm...... A swan costume, huh?
6
Sera went immediately to her mother, Roza the Witch, to tell her about what she heard.
7
Cinderella said she'd wear a swan costume to the ball.
8
Is that so?
9
Well, I think you'll look better in a swan costume. You should be the one wearing it.
10
It was tradition for the Prince to choose the girl who danced the best.
11
He would then dance with her at the ball.
12
The Prince will never dance with me if Cinderella's there.
13
She dances really well.
14
Don't worry about that.
15
Cinderella won't be at the ball.
16
What do you mean?
17
Leave that part to me, dear.
18
I'm sure it'll look great when it's finished.
19
Yes. But I need to go downtown to pick up some materials for the wing.
20
This is my chance! Haha.
21
Cinderella's carriage was waiting for her at the gate to take her downtown.
22
You need to get some sleep.
23
While on the road, Cinderella realized something was wrong.
24
Hey, coachman!
25
This isn't the road to downtown!
26
Who are you?
27
Where are you taking me?
28
What is that?
29
Ough, ough..........
30
The witch brought Cinderella to a deserted mill.
31
By the time you manage to escape, Sera will have already danced with the Prince. Hahaha!
32
Pofu was getting worried.
33
What's taking Cinderella so long?
34
She should have been back by now.
35
Then she ran into Sera and Roza the Witch.
36
I wonder what they're talking about.
37
But what if Cinderella escapes?
38
Don't worry.
39
She can't get out of there.
40
She's locked up in the mill on Cliff Valley.
41
The witch kidnapped Cinderella and locked her up!
42
Now no one can stop you from dancing with the Prince, dear.
43
I'm so lucky my mother is a skilled witch.
44
I can't believe this!
45
I have to save Cinderella!
46
Pofu started running to Cliff Valley.
47
There's the mill!
48
Regaining her consciousness, Cinderella shouted desperately, hoping someone would hear her.
49
Can anyone hear me?
50
Help me! Cinderella, I'm here.
51
Don't worry, I'll save you.
52
Pofu! My dear friend.
53
I need to find a way to lift this plank.
54
Hey, lovely deer!
55
Could you help us?
56
Thank you, my friend.
57
I'm so glad you are here.
58
I don't know who locked me up here.
59
How did you find me?
60
It was Roza, the Witch who kidnapped you.
61
I heard her talking to Sera.
62
They don't want you at the ball.
63
Is that so?
64
Yes, apparently, without you there, nobody can stop Sera from dancing with the Prince.
65
Let's go, Pofu!
66
We must get to the palace before the masquerade ball starts!
67
Meanwhile.....
68
Sera wore the swan costume that Cinderella was planning to wear.
69
Oh, your costume looks amazing.
70
Don't worry, the Prince will choose you.
71
Yes, the Prince will finally realize how beautiful I am.
72
He'll get confused and then fall out of love with Cinderella. Hahaha.
73
Cinderella and Pofu finally got to the palace.
74
What are you going to do now?
75
I don't have time to get another costume, but I want to go to the ball.
76
I think the Prince should hear about this.
77
I guess you're right, Pofu.
78
Cinderella told the Prince what had happened.
79
What did the Prince say?
80
He told me to get dressed!
81
But you don't have a costume.
82
What will you do?
83
Dear Pofu, sometimes.... the simplest solution is the best solution.
84
The masquerade finally began.
85
As tradition had it, couples danced first.
86
You're doing great.
87
Well done, keep dancing.
88
But there was another girl that danced pretty well.
89
I wonder who that girl with the mask is.
90
She's really good.
91
Another tradition was that the Prince would wear a knight's mask, so everyone would know that it was the Prince.
92
Come on, Knight!
93
Choose the swan!
94
And Roza got what she wanted.
95
Yes, there you go!
96
The Prince picked Sera!
97
Meanwhile....
98
A man wearing a shepherd costume  asked the girl with the mask to dance with him.
99
Oh, the girl with the mask ended up with the shepherd. Haha!
100
Then the big moment arrived.
101
But something unbelievable happened.
102
Oh, wow! No!
103
You're not the Prince!
104
Oh, how could this be?
105
All eyes turned to the other couple.
106
Oh..... the shepherd is the Prince!
107
Nooo........ Noooo!
108
Cinderella! Hooray, our Princess won!

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
