Track 5ː Dream Theatre[edit]
FX: *explosions and other war sounds*
Yuuri: Eh~! Wait... What's this? A war? Where on earth am I?
FX:*soldiers marching*
Yuuri: What's that line of people? There are authorities there too. Is this... a funeral?
Murata: Shibuya, it's dangerous to be here.
Yuuri: Murata? Murata, it's you right? You just look a little off... But more importantly, what is this? Whose funeral is it?
Murata: It's mine.
Yuuri: Eh? What are you talking about?
Murata: The one who died, is me.
Yuuri: Oh, I see. This is a dream. I see, we must have fallen asleep under the kotatsu[1].But why am I dreaming about this?
Murata: You're wrong, Shibuya. This is not your dream. It's mine. I'm sorry, I carelessly dozed off and pulled you into my dream.
Yuuri: Eh? Your dream?
Murata: Yes.
Yuuri: Hey, Murata... when did you see what's happening in this scary dream ?
Murata: It's not scary, it's just a dream. It's something that really happened in the past, a long time ago.
Yuuri: Something that really happened? What are you talking about? So you're saying that this is something that you saw in one of your previous lives?
Murata: Yes. I guess that's a way of putting it. This nightmare we're having comes from the accumulation of 4000 years of memories.
Yuuri: 4000 years? What do you mean? Sounds like you're talking about Chinese history...
Murata: Yeah, that's right. Sorry, just forget it.
Yuuri: But, you know? It's just a dream.
Murata: Uh?
Yuuri: I don't know about past lives or whatever but, for the time being, right here, this is just a little nightmare. That's why, don't pay attention to it. Whatever might have happened before, now you're my friend, the model student in glasses, Murata Ken.
Murata: Shibuya.
Yuuri: Murata Ken, the one who loves soccer. Murata Ken, who regardless of that is bad at sports... right?
Murata: That's right. It's just as you say.
Yuuri: Heh...
Murata: Thank you... Shibuya. I like you very much. [2]
Yuuri: And that's what happened...
Annisina: I see. That's a very interesting story.
Yuuri: Can you really enter someone else's dream?
Annisina: Well, it's not impossible, if the thoughts of the people were to meet. But that kind of phenomenon does not usually happen in every-day life.
Yuuri: Right?
Annisina: Yet, no matter how impossible something is, if you were to ask for the help of Anissina, the Poison Lady, you can enter any type of dream as much as you like! So... please look over here, your Majesty!
Yuuri: What's this? A pillow and a microphone?
Annisina: Ta-da-ta-ta-ta-ta~h! . Slipping towards sleep-kun. Originally called: "The great Ma-powered viewer of dreams: the Dream Theatre".
Yuuri: A dream theater? Umezawa Tomio?[3]
Annisina: Yes. First, you have to put this pillow under the head of the research target. Then, it will locate the wavelength of the dream, so that it can show the play as if one were dreaming too. And then ~! You can forcibly enter the dream of the target!
Yuuri: That's awesome!
Annisina: Don't be so surprised ! This is the "all-purpose Ma-powered love key" to enter the dreams of the mazoku sleeping in their rooms. A highly effective punishment tool! The item needed for all your espionage activities ! A Ma-powered way to turn oneself into a nosy younger sister! To use both of these, it only costs 10,000 goldo!
Yuuri: It costs money? And this goldo is a currency of what country? And... Why did you make it like that?
Anissina: That was, of course, so that his Majesty could do the tests and if there was a problem, it would protect the subjects. Thank you for your cooperation. The valuable victims of your Majesty won't be lost in vain!
Yuuri: Victims...? There can be victims? Then, it's not really protecting anyone?
Annisina: With the strong maryoku that your Majesty has, you will make a fine test subject. Now, let's put it on!
Yuuri: Well, Annisina...
Annisina: Great, please try your best!
Yuuri: Annisina-san, Annisina-san! Waai...*bump*
FX: *Door closes*
Yuuri: I was kicked out. For real?
FX:*footsteps*
Yuuri: I'm sorry, I really am, but there's nothing I can do. I guess I should go visit someone older first... Uhm... Excuse me, Grandpa Günter.
FX: *opens door*
Günter: Mmnn...Your Majesty...
Yuuri: Wua~h... Even when he's talking in his sleep, he's like that...
FX: *closes door*
Günter: Hehehehehe... Oh, please stop.
Yuuri: That kind of dream are you having? I think I have an idea of what kind of dream he's having but... ehm...mmm W...Well, let's give it a try... *taps mic* *clears throat* "Alright, let's begin: Testing, testing. I will now, fall asleep".
FX: *enters Günter's dream*
Yuuri: Eh? Where am I? It's rather lively. An amusement park? But why is there an amusement park in Günter's dream?
FX:*steps*
Günter: It moves safely on its way there and back. Ahhh, it's perfect~!
Yuuri: Uhm, Günter?
Günter: Welcome. This is my amusement center, your Majesty!
Yuuri: Günter, you made this?
Günter: I did do this. This is what I had envisioned in my dreams coming true. I have never been this happy!
Yuuri: Right, but this IS your dream. Though you will be disappointed when you wake up. Uhm.. but anyway, I didn't know you liked amusement parks. Hee.... If you were to make a place like this, Greta and Shin Makoku's children will be happy. If in the real world, we could have an estimate budget for... Eh?
Günter: Did you notice something, your Majesty?
Yuuri: Even though it's pretty lively, everywhere I look there are black haired... me? The one walking over there is me? The one on the roller coaster is me? Could it be that all the customers in here, they're all me?!
Günter: It's not just the customers. The workers are too, the little faces of the phosphorescent decorative lights too. They are all your Majesty. Whether you look to your right, or to your left all you see is your Majesty,your Majesty, your Majesty!
FX:*nosebleed*
Yuuri: Wah~ it almost got on me. Günter, Günter, that stuff is coming out. But wait~! This is a "ME" Land? Is it a "ME" Land?!
Günter: Ah~! How wonderful is this "His Majesty Land"! And by the way, "Land"[4] stands for the "easy going" amazingly beautiful customers that are all here at the same time.
Yuuri: It's not awesome! It's disgusting! This "ME" Land is gross!
Günter: Uhm... for now, there's just this. But soon right next to it, I'll be building an amusement place for adults, "His Majesty's-Ungh...stop- Land"
Yuuri: Don't build it! AH.. AHHH~~! Please let me out! What is this?!
FX: *Yuuri surrounded by other Yuuris*
Günter: AH~! That's superb~! This is amazing! To see his Majesty like this!
Yuuri: Ah.. gross, gross! What is this?! Gross!!! Stop, Stop. Don't push, don't push! Ah~! Help mee~!
Günter: Your Majesty~!
Yuuri: Help me! Help meeee~!
FX: *leaves Günter's dream*
FX: *enters another room*
Yuuri: Ah... I saw something horrible just now. Ah.. Gwen surely has some cute dreams. Like with cute little kittens. Or maybe Bandou-kun... Gwen's dreams must be nice from beginning to end. So... excuse me.
FX: *puts pillow under Gwen's head*
Yuuri: There, there... you are sound asleep, huh? Well, I'll go in one more time. "I am sleeping".
FX: *falls asleep*
FX: *enters Gwen's dream*
FX: *birds chirping*
Yuuri: Uhm.. this is?
Wolfie*as a child*: Aniue! Wake up, Aniue! *runs* [5]
Yuuri: Wa~h! That's Wolfram? He's so small ! Cute~!
Gwendal: What is it?
Wolfie: Let's play! Wake up, Aniue!
Gwendal: Hahaha... I guess it can't be helped.
Wolfie: Hehe. Thank you, Aniue! I super, duper, whooper love you~! Kyuu~!
FX: *hugs him while saying "kyuu", the onomatopoeia for hug*
Gwendal: I see, I see... hahaha. Alright! Up you go~!
FX: *picks Wolfie up in the air*
Yuuri: Woah~! I see, he has these innocent, childish dreams... His inner-self is the culprit.
Gwendal: *grunts* Is there anyone there?
Yuuri: Oh, damn! He found me.
Gwendal: *shouting* Who are you?!
Yuuri: Who you ask? It's me, it's me! [6]
Gwendal: Is this the "It's me, it's me" scam?
Yuuri: Does that happen in Shin Makoku, too? But, no, you're wrong! It's me, Shibuya Yuuri! Could it be that you don't know me in your dream?
Gwendal: How old?!
Yuuri: How old? Eh? My age? What a strange thing to ask. Well, I'm sixteen.
Gwendal: You're sixteen!? You're quite big for a sixteen year old, huh?
Yuuri: Ah, well, compared to a mazoku sixteen year old...
Gwendal: If you're sixteen, then you're about Wolf's age. Alright, then you'll look like this.
FX:*Yuuri is transformed into baby Yuuri by Gwendal in his dream. Yuuri will speak with the voice of a four year old from now on*
Yuu-chan: Woa~h? What happened? Eh~.. I became small~No, way~! Thish can't be~! Uhm... I can't see what I look like, what a shame.
Gwendal: Wooahahah~! You are so cute! Indeed this is what a sixteen year old should look like!
Yuu-chan: Since it's a d~eam, don't do anything w~rash. Gwe~! On the outside you look like a second-year junior high student, but you need to remember the hardships you experienced after that~!
Gwendal: Oh~! Let's try and put you and Wolfram side by side. Come over here and sit down.
Yuu-chan: You a~ not listening~! Ah.. uhm..
FX:*Sits by Wolf's side*
Gwendal: There, there, there, there. Hahahaha. Vewy good~ You are a good little boy, aren't you?
FX:*pets head*
Wolfie: Yuuri~!
Yuu-chan: Ah? What?
Wolfie: Let's be friends~! *hugs him*
Yuu-chan: Wah~.
Gwendal: Ah~! Cuuuuuute~!
Yuu-chan: Ah~ I'm sca~ed.
Gwendal: That's right. I just happen to have right here some Bearbee costumes. Of course, I made them myself.
Yuu-chan: Why do you have this right there? Ah... right, it's because this is a dream.
Gwendal: Don't you two.... want to put this on for a bit? What do you say? Just for a little bit is fine. Hehehehe.
Yuu-chan: I'm scared. You look too happy. I don't want to! Don't want to~!
Gwendal: Alright~! I thought of something... Do you need big bro to help you change?
Yuu-chan: Nooo~! Someone please stop this pervert guy! He's changing me~!
Gwendal: *laughs* Oh~ it's alright! Don't we look precious?
Yuu-chan: Ahh~! Help me! Somebody call the police! The police~!
Gwendal:*laughs*
FX: *leaves Gwen's dream*
FX: *footsteps*
Yuuri: Ah, enough! I'm so tired after those two times. But I guess two is not enough, isn't it? ... Oh, well, it can't be helped.
FX: *enters another room*
Wolfram: *gugupi*
Yuuri: I don't want to see similar dreams in Wolfram. Uh?*sighs* You're making such a peaceful face. When he's sleeping he's like an angel, this guy. Well, I guess I'll do it. "Testing, testing. I'm falling asleep"
FX: *enters Wolfram's dream*
Yuuri: Wah~. It's so bright. What is this place? The desert? And where is Wolfram? Ah... over there. What are you doing in a place like that?!
Wolfram: Uh.... Yuuri?
Yuuri: Why do you look so depressed? What ha...
FX:*Sand bear roar*
Yuuri: Sand Bear~!!!
Wolfram: *screams*
Yuuri: Be careful, Wolfram!
Wolfram: Yuuri!
Yuuri: It's okay. Try to get out!
Wolfram: Yuuri!
Yuuri: Your arm is slipping... just a little bit more. Just a little bit more!
Yuuri: *screams*
FX:*Yuuri gets him out of the hole*
Yuuri/Wolf:*pant*
Yuuri: Ah~ We're safe. Even in your dreams you're trying to get out of the Sand bear hole. In the end, what happened in Svelera left you with a trauma. I had no idea. Forgive me for not noticing.
Wolfram: Yuuri.
Yuuri: What is it?
Wolfram: This time, you saved me after my feet got stuck, and for that I want to humbly offer you my gratitude.
Yuuri: Why are you speaking in such an old-fashioned way?
Wolfram: And for extending your hand to me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For taking me out of that fosse, from now on, I will devote my body and life to your Majesty, and promise to always revere you.
Yuuri: What character are you now? A warrior? Could it be a warrior?!
FX: *because this is a dream from now on Wolfram will change into a bunch of different characters* [7]
Yuuri: What happened?!
Wolfram: No way~! You brought me to a place in the middle of nowhere. Heh!
Yuuri: A clumsy girl? You're a clumsy girl character?
Wolfram: Welcome home, master!
Yuuri: A maid?!
Wolfram: Oh~ C'mon! Don't put so much food in your mouth, big bro!
Yuuri: Little sister?! Or... maybe a younger brother?
Wolfram: I'm a robot that goes jari-jari !
Yuuri: Why a robot?!
Wolfram: Do you remember? We used to play here when we were kids...
Yuuri: A childhood friend that appears after a long time...
Wolfram: Take me with you, Brother!
Yuuri: That's a character eager to follow you! Wait this is weird, this is all weird. Did your mind break?
Wolfram: Hump~! It's not like I'm saying these things to you.[8]
Yuuri: Ah, finally, you're back. No, wait. I'll wake up. I'm going to wake up now. Ah... one more thing.
Wolfram: What is it?
Yuuri: The cat ears?
Wolfram: I'm Nyan-ko, you nya?
Yuuri: Woa~. Alright! We're done with this dream play!
Wolfram: What's up with that attitude , Yuuri! Is there something you don't like?!
Yuuri: I'm done. I'm waking up! I'm waking up~!!
FX: *leaves Wolfram's dream*
FX:*footsteps*
Yuuri: Is this machine, really not broken? I'm a little worried...*sighs* Conrad's the last one. Let's finish this soon so I can go back to my room. Excuse me...
FX: *enters Conrad's room*
Yuuri: Conrad.... woooa~hhh*scared* You're awake! No... you're not. Are you sleeping like this? I got scared. Unbelievable, you're sleeping with your eyes open. It's scary. Alright... so excuse me. "Testing, testing. I'm falling asleep. Right, now I'm sleep....ing"
FX: *enters Conrad's dream*
Yuuri: Eh? Where am I? This is not Shin Makoku... And it's also not Japan...
Conrad: You're giving me this, ducky?
Yuuri: Eh? Ah*scared* Too close! Your face is too close!
Conrad: Thank you. I'll take it back to the castle, and take good care of it.
Yuuri: Eh? *Baby Yuuri smiles*
Conrad: It's way too soon for you to be able to talk, huh?
Yuuri: Could it be that right now, I'm a baby?
Conrad: One day, just like this, everything will be yours. Until then, you'll be safe from harm. So, good bye. Let's meet again in Shin Makoku.
Yuuri: I see... so this dream.... is it one of Conrad's memories?
FX: *the sound of entering and leaving a dream is played, but why? No, I won't tell you *
Yuuri: Eh? What is this? Snow? No, it's not cold. Ah~! These are sakura petals. Which means... what is this place? Is it Japan? Eh.. they just look like sakura petals?
FX:*footsteps*
Conrad: Yuuri.
Yuuri: Conrad.
Conrad: One day, just like this, everything will be yours. Until then, your Majesty.
Yuuri: What's up with that serious face? You look sad. And besides, I told you already not to call me Majesty.
Conrad: Until then, please be safe. *footsteps*
Yuuri: What do you mean Conrad? Where are you going? Wait, Conrad! What is this? What's up with this dream!? I don't like it. I'm waking up! I'm waking up! I'm awake!
FX: *leaves Conrad's dream*
Yuuri: Ah~! I woke up... didn't I? It's fine now.*sighs* That was a strange dream. And Conrad...
Conrad: Mngh..
Yuuri: He's struggling...
Conrad: Yuuri.
Yuuri: Yes, yes. Oh~ crap. If you answer when someone speaks in their sleep, they will get confused and won't come back from the world of dreams or something. Ah.. well. The mazoku have a strangely long life. I guess even if something happens, it will be fine. And besides, Conrad was called the Ruttenberg Lion, right? But more importantly, what should I do about the report I need to give Anissina?

- ↑ Mind-blown. I think our Murata here was just the first one to tell him "I like you" in a way that can also mean "I have feelings for you". Oh~! Mura Mura! You made my heart skip a beat.
- ↑ It was bleeped because that's the name of the composer of the song "Dream theater". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7t2ayY_d5k (which I absolutely can't stop listening because I'm totally into Enka ...)
- ↑ He says Land in English, and then says" randa, something like "easy going".
- ↑ I'm leaving Aniue, because Wolf's Aniue is almost as characteristic of him as his henachoko, and in his baby voice it's even cuter. Gosh~!
- ↑ And... a little bit about Japanese crime: Yey~! So, because the amount of crimes in Japan is so painfully low, people don't really distrust one another. So there's this phone scam, where someone calls you and tells you " It's me. It's me" and then the person picking up the phone guesses who they may be " Oh, it's you, Name!" And they say: "Yes, yes, I've been in an accident and I need money for the hospital right away". Or "I've been gambling and I need money to pay people back" . Then they say they're going to send a friend to pick up the money because they can't do it themselves, and the person (usually an elderly person) gives them the money. Now a days, they also ask for bank transfers. Needless to say, these criminals are not a relative of the victim.
- ↑ Since this part of Wolfram's dream is a bit strange, allow me to explain: After being saved by Yuuri, Wolfram wants to "serve" Yuuri, like a vasal would a feudal lord. In order to do that, Wolfram (picks Yuuri's brain?) and turns into a bunch of characters Yuuri might like. The first one, the samurai warrior, because Yuuri likes historical dramas. Then you have the clumsy girl and the maid, stereotypical characters that Japanese guys like. Then you have some sidekicks, like the younger sister, the robot (Doraemon, Haro from Gundam), the friend from the past and the guy who will follow you anywhere. Then he goes into Tsundere mode (check next reference) and finally there's the part where Wolfram is wearing cat ears, another stereotypical anime character, catgirls. And let me tell you that in further dramas it becomes more evident (I'm thinking Maou in Wonderland for example) that Yuuri has a soft spot for Wolfram in animal costumes. (Also, girly clothes, but I guess you know that)
- ↑ He's being super tsundere, in case you can't tell. And then Yuuri says: Ah~! You're back ! XD
