Radio Digest 34 - The deciding factor is the FEELING (/FILLING)!?[edit]
FX:*mini-drama intro music*
Yuuri: Say Murata.... this world is a really nice place, don't you think?
Murata: Why are you saying that so formal?
Wolfram: Hmph! You've finally realized how good you have it here. But it's obvious that you would think that. And that's because you have someone as wonderful as me as your fiancé.
Yuuri: I knew you'd say that.
Conrad: Well, if you compare this place to Earth, the air is much cleaner here.
Yuuri: Well, yes, that too. But I'm especially happy to be here during this time of the year.
Murata: Ah, Shibuya, could it be that you're saying that because right now it's Valentine's Day on Earth?
Yuuri: That's right! And I don't feel uncomfortable here like I do on Earth.
Wolfram: What is that Va-len-tine-Day?
Conrad: If I recall correctly, in Japan it's the day when girls give boys they like chocolates and confess their love, right?
Murata: Yes, in other countries people give their loved ones pressed flowers, but in Japan chocolates are standard.
Yuuri: And then you have the 'true love chocolates' and the 'courtesy chocolates' .
Wolfram: Hmm... that's a strange custom.
Yuuri: It is! Chocolate is just a snack! But the snack factories made a festival where it symbolizes love, and in this event boys have to wait for chocolates all day long.
Murata: Huh.... Shibuya, that's quite a CYNICAL point of view.
Yuuri: But think about it! If you wanted to eat chocolates you could just go to the convenience store and get some, but if you do that the girl working the register will give you a weird look, and in this event, if you get a chocolate, no matter how small it is, you're expected to give back 3 times as much to the person who gave it to you. This isn't something good[1].
Conrad: Really? I think it's a really nice event.
Yuuri: Yeah, right, for you or Wolfram it wouldn't be a problem. Because you'd probably get tons of chocolates, like idols in a boy band, because you LOOK good.
Wolfram: Hhnn... that's stupid.
Yuuri: Don't laugh scornfully at me! Because popular people like you would never understand what it's like to only receive chocolates from your mother on that day! Right, Murata!?
Murata: *clears throat* Don't drag me down with you...
Conrad: But on that day, aren't there also women who are not brave enough to give the chocolate to the person they want to give it to and end up staring at that person's back?
Yuuri: Well, yeah, that's right, but you know? I think that having to give 'courtesy chocolates' to someone you don't love is too much trouble.
Conrad: What's wrong about courtesy chocolates? Even if they don't symbolize love, people can use that chance to express their gratitude and say 'thank you' to those people they can't thank on a regular basis. That's because it's difficult to express one's feelings any other given day.
Yuuri: Ah.... hmm...what you say makes sense. THANK YOU. I think it changed my point of view a little. Well, if you think about it like that, it doesn't really matter if you get 'true' or 'courtesy' ones.
Conrad: I'm glad to hear you say that. But for me, when it comes to your majesty it's always the 'real deal'.
Yuuri: Uwah, that's too suspicious! What are you saying, Conrad? .... Ah! I see.... This is the type of quick reply from a popular guy. I see, I'll study that!
Wolfram: *onomatopoeia that means pissed off* Muka! If this impresses you so much, I'll do that too.
Yuuri: Huh?
Wolfram: Conrad, teach me that "true love chocolate" line!
Conrad: Eh? Oh gee....
Murata: This has turned into a problem...
Yuuri: Ugh... I will never let Valentine's Day take place in Shin Makoku! I say that as the maou!
Show intro
Murata/Wolfram: Kyou Kara Maou - Shin Makoku Broadcasting Corporation
Radio Show: Today's guest is Morikawa Toshiyuki (Conrad). They have to eat chocolates and give a 'sweet' review about it. The producer of the radio show made them. Who apparently is also the owner of a convenience store (I don't know if they're messing around or not). After minute 6 they start. Saiga-san says: " Hm! It's a little soft but this is just as soft as your cheeks. It was really tasty." Then she says: Wolfram would never say that. Sakurai-san says: Oh! This must certainly made the listener's hearts race. Then comes Morikawa-san. He tells a cold pun : Oh, this is a BITTER (chocolate), right? It makes me feel romantic (bitabita). Sakurai-san's says "Morikawa san! This is just what Conrad would do! Let's finish this right now." Everyone's trying so hard not to laugh it's hilarious. Miyata-san's clearly had something illegal in his chocolate because he said: " Oh, I'll take it now. It's tasty...y? It's very tasty. Thank you, BERBERY KONDO MACHI" ... Yeah, it makes no sense. Sakurai-san starts with a question, then chokes on the chocolate and everyone's giggling, then he says: "It's sweet!!!! But your lips look a lot sweeter." And the first thing that Saiga-san says is: "Gross/Creepy" and everyone laughs. Remember that Saiga san and Sakurai-san have been friends since GET BACKERS (2002-2003). Saiga-san and Morikawa-san win according to the producer.

- ↑ This is true! There are men who refuse the Valentine's Day chocolate because they don't want to have to repay the women. But Japanese women are super greedy, for chocolates that cost 10 bucks, they expect gold bracelets, necklaces or earrings on White Day. (This doesn't apply to students, who simply get a white chocolate back)
