10. Ephemeral Encounter[edit]
FX: *helicopter* *boat gets boarded*
Shouri: Uwoh... twenty eyes... no, I mean, twenty guns pointing at me.
FX: *guns being pointed at them*
Shouri: Ah, yes, yes! HOLD UP? Hahaha. HOLD UP, PLE! OKAY, OKAY![1]
Abigail: Even for me 20 is a new record.
Bob: What's up with pointing 20 guns and having soldiers restrain someone with few remaining years.
Shouri: Don't act Shouri-like[2] in a moment like this. Yet, what are these people. Police? Is the local police interfering? Even though we haven't pulled the box out, not even dived yet?
Bob: Shouri...
Shouri: Ah, could it be that? Is it forbidden to swim in Lake Constance? If that's the case then this amount of people is too much.
Abigail: Those people are not policemen. They're soldiers. The SWISS ARMY. Look at their guns. They're not carrying .38 calibers, but 9mm.
Shouri: Even if I look at them is not like I could tell the difference!
Abigail: Japanese people don't know anything about crisis management[3].
Shouri: Don't compare me to a low-ranking soldier! Or rather I should ask, if they were to fire those... would that hurt? Would it hurt a little? Or would it hurt so much that it'd feel like you're dying? Which one?
Bob: It won't hurt. You'll probably be dead before you feel pain.
Shouri: Eh?
Abigail: In any case, it's great that they're not the German army, but the Swiss army.
Shouri: Why do you say that?
Abigail: Because we don't need to worry about the fact that my grandfather is considered a war criminal in his native Germany.
Shouri: What in the world did your grandfather do?! And say, Bob... what are we going to do about this situation?
Bob: No matter what we do, it seems like it will be troublesome.
Shouri: Since it's you, you must know a high ranking officer, right? Right?
Bob:*chuckles* It makes me really happy to have the youngsters rely on me so much.
Shouri: Thank goodness! Just as I expected! Hey, we're saved, Graves!
Bob: But unfortunately I do not know anyone in the Swiss army.
Shouri: Then why are you so relaxed!?
Soldier: All of you! Sit down right where you are!
Shouri: Hey, cut it out.
Soldier: Don't move!
Shouri: Yes, sorry.
Soldier: Keep your hands on your head.
FX: *soldier searches Shouri*
Shouri: *giggles* Wait... st.. stop! Don't touch me there! *laughs*
Abigail: *whispers* Shouri, change of plans. From now on we'll start PLAN B.
Shouri: *whispers* Ah... and what is that?
Abigail: *whispers* While I tie my shoelaces, Shouri, you'll steal the enemy's machine-gun, and then you TATATATATATA start the shooting strategy. The name of the strategy is "Yamato Damashi"[4].
Shouri: *whispers* Are you sure you don't mean "Yakushimaru"[5]? Like I could ever do something so dangerous!
Abigail: *whispers* Eh?
Shouri: *whispers* I can't blindly shoot a weapon![6] Because no matter how you look at it, I'm a purebred Japanese person! Don't make fun of us the world peace-crazed!
Abigail: *whispers* Oh! Japanese people only know about samurai swords and New Nambus[7], right?
Shouri: *whispers* I'm not sure that your image of us is correct...
Soldier: Careful! Behind us!
Shouri: Eh?
FX: *a jet flies really close to them, Shouri and Abigail fall into the lake*
Abigail: Shouri! Breathe!
Shouri: What is this spray?
Abigail: It's oxygen. Hey, look! There's something at the bottom of the lake!
Shouri: Ah... hey why are you smiling?
Abigail: Haha... No, I'm not! Let's go.
FX: *Abigail takes a big breath and pulls Shouri down with her*
Shouri: Wait... I can't free dive...
FX: *Shouri struggles to breathe, takes in some oxygen*
Shouri: Why is the water flowing like this ? There's something happening...
FX: *Abigail struggles to breathe*
Shouri: This is strange... Why is it? That we are being pulled to the bottom of the lake...?!
FX: *bubbles*
Venera: What is this place? It's pretty bright for the bottom of a lake... *magic fx* There's someone there. In the distance there's a young man and by his side... EH?! That girl is...
Yuuri: Aniki (Big Brother)!
Shouri: Gh!
Yuuri: I'm going back! Even though I can't right now.
Venera: That child... she looks a lot like (me)...
Yuuri: Even though I can't go back now, I will return no matter what! So... (you don't need to worry)!
FX: *Shouri struggles to breathe* *magical sound* *pat on the cheek*
Bob: Junior... Junior... Junior... Pull yourself together, Shouri! Your wounds are superficial...
FX: *Shouri spits water and coughs*
Shouri: I...
Bob: Thank goodness, Junior.
Abigail: Oh! You came back to life, huh?
Shouri: Bob... Abigail...
Bob: When we pulled you from the lake, you were not breathing so you barely made it.
Shouri: Ahh... Eh! Hey! What was that plane from a moment ago!? Why was it flying so low? Don't tell me... hey! It didn't crash, did it?!
Bob: Of course not. That pilot has a good arm and won't crash easily.
Shouri: Eh?
Bob: Even though I don't have friends in the Swiss army, I do have one in a Swiss bank. In order to cause a commotion, he did something crazy with his private jet.
Shouri: Indeed it was quite a scene.
Bob: But there was a force there that shook the lake. And the proof of that is that Abby and you could go and take a look at the other world, right?
Shouri: Ah... I...
Abigail: We went there! Even though it was only for a moment, we went there! Awesome!
Shouri: Go where?
Abigail: Don't you remember Shouri? We positively went to the other world~!
Bob: But neither Junior nor Abby couldn't reach the box, right? Then why did the door to the other world open even if just for a moment?
Shouri: It's fine... it doesn't matter anymore...
-- Flashback --
Yuuri: I can't go back now, but I will return no matter what!
-- End of flashback --
Shouri: I'll wait. I'll be waiting, so make sure to come back.
Bob: Junior...
Abigail: Shouri, say... that old lady that was with your brother at that time, is she an acquaintance of him?
Shouri: Eh? An old lady? Ehh... no, I didn't see her. That's because I'm a man who only has eyes for Yuu-chan.
Abigail: ... Brother complex...
Shouri: Say... AHHHHHHH!
Bob: What's wrong? Do you remember what happened to your glasses?
Shouri: Ah! That's right, I lost my glasses[8]... but that has nothing to do with this.*cries* Yuu-chan, Yuu-chan called me... Aniki. He said Aniki...
Bob: And why does that bring you down? He called you Ani (brother).
Shouri: NO! IT'S NOT ANIKI! It's not... Aniki... Even up till now... WHY HASN'T HE CALLED ME ONIICHAN?![9]
Abigail: *sighs* ... Brother complex...
