02. Shin Makoku Summit Meeting[edit]
Translator note: To understand a scene a little better, I decided to pick up the Japanese novels and now I'm on the verge of tears. Most of the lines in this drama cd have been lifted word for word from the Japanese novels! It's like having the seiyuus read the novels to us! So, if you were wondering whether these drama cds were following the novels, the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! It's a summary of the novels, so some parts have been cut off, but most of the lines are the ones you can find in the original novels. Enjoy!
FX: *water dripping*
Yuuri: Uh... uh... ah? UNGH! It stinks! What's that smell?! *sniffs* Ugh.. gluah! Gnph, gnph! Uwah~!
FX:*bangs head against something, bats fly over his head*
Yuuri: Ah.. I hit the back of my head. Eh, what is this place? It's pitch dark. A sewer? So, that means that this is not the pool. Yeah, I did it! I've finally....!
??? : Hgh, hghh! Hghhhh! (It's Murata's seiyuu, btw)
Yuuri: Huh? Who is it...? No way, Murata? Were you washed away with me?
???: Hghhhh.... hhhhgh!
Yuuri: What's with that voice? Ah, no way! Did this horrible smell hurt you somehow?
???: Hgh.... hhgh.
Yuuri: Are you okay? Hey, pull yourself together. I'll help you up... uhm...let's see...
FX: *something hits him*
Yuuri: Eh? These are your legs? What's with you?! Why did you take off your pants?!
???: Hgh!.... Hgh!.... hhhhgh...
Yuuri: Woah.... Murata, you really are not feeling well, huh? Alright, then I'll save you!
???: Hgh!.... Hgh!....
Yuuri: Hang in there... I'll save you... C'mon! Don't die on me....
???: Hgh... hghhhhh....
Yuuri: Aha! I can see a light ahead! It might be the exit!
Wolfram(from far away): Where are you, Yuuri?
Yuuri: Oh... Wolfram!
Günter: Your Majesty!!! I'm coming to your side right away! Ah, I remember the first time that I saw his Majesty was at a village near the border. Light shone above him like a celestial crown...
Wolfram: Shut up, Günter!
Yuuri: Ahaha... a natural two-man comedy. So I've really come back to Shin Makoku...
???: Hgh... hgh...hghhhhh....
Yuuri: I'm over here!!!
Günter: Your Majesty!
Wolfram: Yuuri!
FX: *running*
Yuuri: I'm home!
Wolfram: You're late, hanachoko![1]
Yuuri: Hanachoko? Not only did you not say "It's been a long time", but on top of that you mispronounced the word?
FX: *Yuuri drops ???*
???: Hgh...!
Yuuri: Ah! I dropped you accidentally! I'm sorry, Murata!
FX: *splashing sounds*
???: Hghhh...! Hghhh...!
Günter: What a rare occurrance! You're a maidmer princess, aren't you?
Maidmer Princess: Hghhh...! Hghhh...!
Yuuri: Fish[2]? Uwah~! Muraken! How long have you had that gross appearance?! Or rather, it has legs! The tuna has legs!
Günter: Well, of course. That's because she's an aristocrat of the ocean, a Maidmer Princess. Ah...! In this case it's a female, so it's called a "princess" , males are called "king".
Yuuri: Eh? This is a female?
Günter: Yes, she has beautiful legs doesn't she? Since she doesn't have any hair on her legs, she's a "princess". But both male and females, are citizens from the area controlled by the Maou.
Yuuri: It's a citizen? Ah... I'm sorry for confusing you for a tuna.
Maidmer Princess: Hghhh... hgh...hgh...hgh....
Wolfram: Can it be that you don't even know the proper way to hold a princess? The way to pick up a princess is like this, watch. You have give her the "maidmer princess lift"[3], this is how a gentleman does it.
Yuuri: Eh? Ehehe.... I'm not sure if this is romantic or if she's just flapping around all over the place...
Günter: Your Majesty! Let's go back to the Blood Pledge Castle.
Yuuri: Ah, yes!
-- At the Blood Pledge Castle --
FX: *footsteps*
Yuuri: Ah, inside the castle it sure is quiet. Ah! I really feel like I'm back!
Greta: Ah! It's Yuuri. Yuuri~~!
FX: *Greta runs towards Yuuri*
Yuuri: Greta~!
Greta: I've missed yuugh... You stink... What's wrong Yuuri? Is your body rotting?
Yuuri: It's not rotting.
Greta: But I still like you!
FX: *Greta hugs Yuuri*
Yuuri: Uwah~!
FX: *They fall to floor*
Greta (happy): Ugh, it stinks! But let's try one more time~! *sniffs* Ewwgh... It's fine. Even if Yuuri is rotting, or if you become a zombie, Greta's love for you won't ever change!
Yuuri: That's why I'm telling you I'm not rotting...
Greta: But I was really worried. Because Yuuri, you suddenly disappeared! *sniffles*And.. and.. I thought... I'd.. never see you ever again! *cries*
Yuuri: I'm sorry. *hugs Greta* It's my fault. I'm really, really sorry.
Greta:*shakes head* No, as long as you're safe, it's fine. And as long as you always come back home...
Yuuri: Yes.
Greta: But, you know? The truth is that Greta has always been thinking about this...
Yuuri: Hm?
Greta: "I don't want to let you go tonight."[4]
FX: *Yuuri starts coughing*
Yuuri: WHAT?!
Greta: But, you know? Since you didn't make that promise, Greta was crying with her head buried in her pillow.
Yuuri: Hey, you Wolf! You're the one who has been prompting her, right?!
Wolfram: So what? You henachoko!
Yuuri: Don't be giving her the thumbs up saying "good job"!
Wolfram: You're wrong. This is the signal for " one more time". If your cute daughter were to say something like that, no matter how cold you may be, you will end up calmly staying in Shin Makoku, right?
Yuuri: Now, you listen...
Gwendal: You've finally arrived.
Yuuri: Gwendal *stands up*
Gwendal (nasal): What's this smell?
Yuuri: Do I really stink that much?
Günter: Ah, your Majesty! Don't put such a sad face, please do not worry about it. As proof, look, I'll breathe it all in!
Yuuri: Ah, ahaha... but say? You know, it's fine that you call me over here but there are always problems with the place where I land.
Gwendal: I'm very sorry about that, your Majesty.
Yuuri: You really don't seem to be sorry, though.
Gwendal: That's not true....(super-formal) I am, indeed, very sorry that I did not have a chance to do this in Caloria, so let me express my feeling of gratitude, from the bottom of my heart, for your safe return. And as for Lord Weller's misconduct during that time.... on behalf of my stupid younger brother, I ask you to please forgive him.
Wolfram: Big brother...
Yuuri: Wait, please stop kneeling before me.
Gwendal(formal): The crime of not having been able to foresee that Conrad would give up his mission of protecting the king and flee the country, is a serious one. I am prepared to accept whatever punishment you may give me.
Yuuri: Wait! I've never thought that any of this was your fault. And as for what happened with Conrad, there's nothing to be done about that. If he wants to change jobs, I don't have the right to stop him. Uhm... because look! It's what's called freedom of occupation.
Gwendal: Nonetheless...
Yuuri: Geez...... Hey~! It's difficult, huh? To be the eldest son. But in any case, the one who needs to apologize is me. I did whatever I wanted, and caused trouble for everyone. I even made you send a rescue team... And despite being the king, I wasted a lot of tax money...
Günter: Your Majesty....
Yuuri: And... this is really difficult for me to ask but... that ill-omened box, "The End of Wind", I was wondering, what ever happened to it?
Gwendal: Regarding that matter, we must have a serious talk.
-- At the conference room --
Yuuri: Seisakoku?
Günter: Yes. Written as the country(koku) of the holy(sei) sand(sa)[5], Seisakoku. It's the country where the Shinzoku, the beings who are our exact opposites, live.
Wolfram: In other words, that Small Shimaron wants to become closer to Seisakoku.... big brother?
Gwendal: Yes, that's right.
Yuuri: By Small Shimaron you mean that place, right? The place that Flynn-san's Caloria used to belong to... the place where that cropped ponytail Maxine lives?
Wolfram: In connection to this, Big Shimaron is the sponsoring country of "The greatest fighting event on the planet" is . And now, "he" is...[6]
Yuuri: I know... And? Why do you guys not want the people from Small Shimaron and Seisakoku to be in good terms?
Gwendal : *sighs*... We, the Mazoku, and Big Shimaron are currently in a very tense relationship. Are you aware(formal) of this Your Majesty?
Yuuri: Yes, I'm aware(formal). *whispers* Whenever you speak Keigo[7], I feel really nervous...
Gwendal: Do you understand how dangerous it is for a country which is hostile to us to strengthen their power? Do you understand that?
Yuuri: Well, that...
Günter: Your Majesty... For a long time, all the other countries and us have had no information about the type of resources or military force that Seisakoku has. However, considering the vast size of the country, we can figure out the population they have.
Gwendal: If Small Shimaron and Seisakoku were to form a alliance and combine their respective armies.... I'm sorry to say, that our country alone would not be able to fight against them.
Anissina(from behind the door): Hmph! That's what frightened cowards would say!
FX: *Anissina opens the door and walks towards the rest*
Gwendal: Anissina...
Anissina: Think about it. Seisakoku stopped its relations with other countries two thousand years ago. Back then, Shimaron didn't even exist. In other words, for Seisakoku, Small Shimaron is a worthless, new power. Do you think since the other party is such a small fish, such a baby chick, they will embrace an equal position as them, and become close friends?!
Gwendal: .......
Anissina: Even if they'd be willing to make an exchange.... do you really think that the country that doesn't even bother to deal with their neighbors would expressly send troops across the sea for a war with some other country? According to my calculation, the chances of that happening are, at best, as slim as a strand of hair. To jump to conclusion over such a low chance of something happening, and even getting all worked up about a war, it's something that only fools would do. Good grief! This is why I say that men are useless!
Yuuri:*whispers* Anissina-san is really something..., huh?
Wolfram: *whispers* If you don't want to lose your life, better be quiet.
Anissina: Instead of sitting there without doing anything moping around, we should send an envoy to Small Shimaron to confirm this information.
Gwendal: I see... there's some truth behind Lady von Karbelnikoff's words... What does your Majesty think?
Yuuri: D... do what you see fit.
Gwendal: Fine. Then, how about the rest of you?
Wolfram: Big brother. I'll do it.
Anissina: No, I'll go.
Gwendal: Lady von Karbelnikoff, you will have to desist, as you will only cause damage and unnecessary chaos to Small Shimaron.
Anissina: What did you say?
Gwendal: Uhm.. nothing. And Wolfram, you too can't go.
Wolfram: Why?!
Gwendal: Then, if you go get the approval to become the representative of his Majesty the Maou and Shin Makoku, and if by any chance you fail... are you prepared to pay with your life ?
Wolfram: From the day I swore my oath to the king, I've been prepared for that.
Yuuri (thinking): King? Who is this king? Ah... it's me. That's right... I'm the king.
Yuuri: Alright, alright,alright,alright! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! I'll go to Small Shimaron mysel....
Gwendal: You can't. Günter: Impossible Wolfram: Of course not!
Yuuri: But why? This is an serious problem that can affect the country, right? Isn't it the important job of the king to be the gates to the kingdom?
Wolfram: You just barely escaped from Small Shimaron with your life!
Gwendal: I'll go.
Yuuri: Eh? No, that would be a problem. If you leave the Blood Pledge Castle, who will handle the political affairs of this country?
Wolfram: Fool! That is originally YOUR job.
Yuuri: Ah... sorry.
Gwendal: In any case, His Majesty, Lord von Bielefeld and Lady von Karbelnikoff can't go. If someone can help me deal with the mountain of different chores I do here, I can go myself...
Günter: I... will go.
Everyone: ..... !
Günter: If it's possible, I'm willing to go to said country, under the instructions of His Majesty.

References[edit]
- ↑ So it should be henachoko(rookie), but Wolfram hasn't said henachoko in such a long time that he mispronounces it. Since the kanji for henachoko literally mean "small clay sake cup"(hena: clay; choko: small sake cup), hanachoko would mean something like "small flowered sake cup"... which actually sounds kinda pretty if you ask me...XD
- ↑ So mermaid is 人魚(ningyo), but THIS creature is called 魚人(gyonin). 魚 gyo means fish, 人means person. Yuuri takes the first part of the name (gyo: fish) and asks if it's a fish.
- ↑ So the "princess lift" (Hime-sama dakko, google this: 姫様抱っこ), means carrying someone bridal style. But the "maidmer princess lift" is different. In the novels it says that it's similar to the way fisherman show a big fish they've caught. Dakko means hug, so he has to be "hugging" her in some way. So it must be something like this, but with legs: http://sportfishcolorado.com/report_images/13july13-1.jpg Now imagine it flapping around... there you go.
- ↑ Tonight (konya) and this time (konkai) sound very much alike... but ... later on you'll see where she learned all these weird phrases. XD
- ↑ 聖砂国 : Seisakoku . 聖 sei: holy , 砂sa : sand , 国: koku: country.
- ↑ They're making a short reference to what happened in the other novels. And "he" is Conrad. I love how Yuuri doesn't let Wolfram finish...
- ↑ Keigo is like a super formal way of speaking. The words are completely different from informal words. Gwendal never uses Keigo to speak to Yuuri. On the other hand, Günter uses Keigo all the time.
