Welcome to my Castle of Shikigami III Game Script guide. This guide is a
simple transcript of every conversation between all combinations of characters
in the game's arcade mode with minor modifications to include text that is
spoken but not necessarily printed on the screen. Otherwise, the text will
be exactly as it is in the game, including any errors made. This is my first
FAQ so I hope everyone enjoys reading through both the serious and very
silly conversations that this great game has to offer. Needless to say,
this guide contains spoilers.

2. Character Profiles (cs302)
*=============================================================================*
Character profiles taken from the instruction manual.
=KOHTARO KUGA=
The hero of the series.
Due to the death of his longtime
shikigami, Sazae, he has come back
weaker than before. He still makes
the mistake of calling out for Sazae
and causes blunders for those around
him. This is the story of his rise back
from his loss.
He has grown taller, and sadness and
frustration have cast a shadow over
him. But once an incident occurs,
he takes action more passionately
than before. He has gotten rid of his
school uniform and appears in a cool
new outfit chosen by Fumiko.
He also works as a translator and
interpreter.
=SAYO YUUKI=
A shrine maiden that was resurrected
when she was fused together with
Kohtaro's shikigami, Sazae.
She feels jealous (and guilty)
watching Kohtaro disheartened due
to the loss of his partner. Her blunt
attitude toward him has changed, and
she now tries to be helpful - while
rejecting him at the same time.
Since her former shikigami, Yata,
is a national treasure and cannot be
leased out, she has gone out on her
own.
Since their battle potential is only
half when alone, Kohtaro and Sayo
travel together. Whether her fusion
with Sazae is the cause or not,
Sayo's kimono has a tendency to slip
off of her shoulder.
=GENNOJO HYUGA=
A psychic private investigator.
He is one of the tsukigamizoku
(Moongod tribe) living in Japan and
is an okami (great deity, wolf).
At first he was against going on this
mission because it was a request
from the government, but since he
was in dire straits with his living
expenses, he finally gave in to the
compensation and went on his first
trip abroad. Whether it is due to
pride or not, he tries to act like an
avid traveler by acting like he knows
it all, reading guidebooks, and study-
ing foreign languages. He's a rather
adorable middle-aged man who likes
to call himself a young man.
Once again, though his character has
changed, he partners up with Mihee
to solve the incident. He is a proud
and stubborn man who always ends
up volunteering to take on the most
difficult of tasks himself.
=FUMIKO ODETTE VAN STEIN=
A gorgeous witch, in many different
ways.
She is said to be more of a villain
than the greatest enemy in the series.
Her hobby is to steal the men of
other women. Her second hobby is
trampling upon people.
She has arrived in Alcaland to return
to her homeland - and go on a
honeymoon.
For Fumiko, Alcaland is a memo-
rable place she visted a number of
times when she was a young girl.
She looks around her surroundings
with fond memories and can't help
but feel melancholic.
=ROGER SASUKE=
An American ninja.
At this point, Japan's international contri-
bution, psychic abilities, and investigation
have nothing to do with him, but Roger
looks forward to this trip and participates
on his own dime. (He even created the
travel pamphlets and handed them out.)
From one perspective, he's one of the
people that participate in this case with
the impurest of intentions, along with
Fumiko.
He is Kohtaro Kuga's good friend and a
serious Wapanese. However, his ninjutsu
and methods are authentic, having learned
them from the real deal - even his ninja
sword is genuine. Because of this, he's
as useful as Gennojo, a professional invest
tigator. He is bummed that he is the only
one Nagino doesn't call papa.
=EMILIO STANBURKE=
A good-looking young boy with black hair
and suspenders.
Only 10 years old, he is a member of the
noblest of the royal families in Alcaland
and detests foreign intervention into its
domestic matters.
He is a high-spirited boy who said, "Our
country has the strengths of its own tradi-
tions." After stating this, he went out to
investigate on his own.
He always has a worried look on his face,
what some people refer to as a Majar
melancholic. He uses a demon known as
Devour, which can change into various
shapes. (In Christian countries, they are
called shikigami.)
He is very stubborn and proud, and though
he has a good personality, he is fixated on
authority and has a slight tendency to look
down on commoners.
=BATU HARAI=
A brooding exorcist hired by Emilio
Stanburke.
He is an apostate priest that wields
an extending spear in the shape of
a cross.
He is tired of Emilio's national-
ism and wants to hurry and get the
job done. He considers the foreign
guests demons and has written a
petition to headquarters asking for
orders to subjugate (i.e. punish)
them.
He likes hard liquor.
=MIHEE KIM=
A fighting doctor from Seoul, Korea,
holding her head while on a plane
thinking, why me?
Her left hand trembles and is said to
be able to kill anyone who touches
it. When her hand trembles in the
operating room, patients often plead
for their lives. Because of this, she has
the misfortune of being called a quack,
even though she is a skilled surgeon.
Due to her bold, free-spirited nature,
she did not get along with her
conservative parents and left to study
abroad: she has not returned to her
homeland.
Mihee's an avid traveler, but when she
wnet to visit some relatives in Japan,
their dojo was closed and they were in
prison... As she stood there stunned, a
well-dressed investigator saying he was
a friend of the relatives approached
her. She somehoe ended up going to
Alcaland.
=REIKA KIRISHIMA=
A female police officer. Number 0,
division 0 in the metropolitan police
department. She is known as Time
Gal. She has long, silky green hair,
wears a bare mid-riff outfit, and has
long slim legs. With her anachronous
costume and mouth, she strives to be
a first-class time criminal.
She really has time jumping capa-
bilities as she says, but most people
don't believe her (to her dismay).
Incidentally, she is only 17 years
old. She is a high school student as
well as a police officer. Reika travels
anywhere from the years 1888 and
2145, and she can be seen appear-
ing in various locations (like in the
background).
=NAGINO ISE=
She is a nuclear attack-class
troublemaker, messing with the
relationships of Gennojo and
Kohtaro, who she both calls papa,
and Fumiko and Sayo, who she both
calls mama. She is 9 years old and is
a happy elementary school student
who isn't going to school.
She has the mystical power of
turning the words she says into
reality. As a guardian, she carries the
rabbit deity known as "Strider" in
her backpack.
=MUNCHAUSEN=
He is like a young uncle to Fumiko,
and is Kohtaro Kuga's good friend.
He shows another side of himself
as the versatile butler, and this
time around, you can even see him
looking cool without his glasses.
"I will educate you. Please prepare
yourself."

3. Single-player scenarios (cs303)
*=============================================================================*
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--A. Kohtaro Kuga/Sayo Yuuki------------------------------------------(cs3ko)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Sayo: Why did that spirit of gluttony and
death choose to merge with me on
the day that I died?
I don't know if I'll ever learn the
truth, but I don't want to know...
I wonder what my feelings desire?
Which one of me has feelings for
that man?
-STAGE 1-
Kohtaro: ...The missing people must be here.
Okay, let's go Sazae... I mean...
Sayo.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Wh-what? Why are you holding my
hand so tightly?
Sayo: What are you thinking!?
I'm just getting some nourishment!
Ever since I merged with your
shikigami, I get hungry if I don't
make contact with you like this.
Kohtaro: Oh, ohhh. Um, I'm sorry I called you
by the wrong name.
Sayo: ...I don't mind.
She was important to you.
I at least know that.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand, the pretty
flower of the Shikigami world has
returned! Her name is Yukari!
...Uh, why did you guys suddenly
move apart?
Sayo: It's nothing, evil dream.
Kohtaro: Of course, it's nothing, stupid.
Yukari: Wait a minute? Isn't this 1P mode?
Why are there two of you here?
Kohtaro: You're talking nonsense again! Wait!
If you have something to do with the
missing people, this'll be easy!
I'll just punch you out as usual!
Let's go, Sazae!
Sayo: Okay!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Waaaaaaaaaaaaah...
I'm playing against two players!
Kohtaro: ...You're under arrest!
-STAGE 2-
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: What's the matter?
Are you not feeling well?
Sayo: You called me Sazae back there...
Kohtaro: Oh, uh, I'm sorry.
It was an old habit.
Sayo: I'm going to hold a grudge...
Kohtaro: ...I'm sorry.
Sayo: Please call me by my name.
Not someone else's.
Kohtaro: Okay! No problem.
I'll be careful.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...
Sayo: ...Uncle...
Kohtaro: What's this?
You said you were a loner, but here
you are with family.
Shikou: I'm glad to see that you can make
such expressions now...
Is it because of that boy?
Kohtaro: I'm a young man.
Shikou: You're still a boy. You have my
gratitude. But you must defeat me.
Right, Sayo? Fight for your freedom.
Sayo: Aren't you going to blame me?
Shikou: No... it may be strange for me, the
pursuer, to say this, but I wanted
for you to be this way.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...It was a mistake for people to
artificially create the existence of
a final battle. Sayo... stay alive.
Sayo: Uncle, uncle!
-STAGE 3-
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: ...Don't cry so much.
Um, well... Uh.
I'll help you in any way that I can.
Sayo: ...Then be kind to me.
Just be kind to me now while I'm
crying...
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An innocent wind is blowing.
I was once like that as well.
Sayo: ...This, this isn't what you think.
Kohtaro: This just happened.
Freedom: Are you going to hold hands?
Kohtaro: This isn't what you think.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Hey, what about you there?
Sayo: Why are you back to calling me you?
Didn't I say my name is Sayo?
Freedom: Hmhmhm, don't fight. I'd love to
watch you two all day, but it can't
be helped. Let's get started.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: The things you see in this castle
are nightmares. Here, you see the
things you don't want to see most.
...But, good luck.
I'm sure the two of you will be able
to make it.
-STAGE 4-
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: I'm really sorry. How long do you
want me to apologize?
Sayo: Whenever it suits you, you call me
you.
Kohtaro: Okay! If it means that much to you,
I'll call you Sayo no matter what.
Sayo, Sayo, Sayo, Sayo, Sayo...
Sayo: Don't shout it out repeatedly.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...Master Kohtaro.
Kohtaro: You know me?
Kagachi: Yes, for a while.
...You may not have realized it,
but I've been protecting you.
Kohtaro: ...
Kagachi: I won't fight you. But for Lady
Tsukiko's sake, I'm going to kill
that woman.
Kohtaro: ...Tsuki...
Kagachi: Forgive me!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Regrettable.
I would have at least liked to have
gotten in one blow on that woman.
-STAGE 5-
Sayo: ...He said Tsukiko...
Uh, isn't that the name of your
childhood friend...?
Kohtaro: No... It can't be... She's supposed
to be asleep in a hospital in Japan.
She's in no condition to get up...
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the casle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare...
Hmhmhm, just kidding.
Koh, how've you been?
Kohtaro: Tsukiko!
Sayo: (...Is this the person that Kohtaro
has in his heart?)
Tsukiko: Don't give me that look. This was
fate. Didn't I ask you to introduce
me to your girlfriend someday?
It seems my wish came true.
But I you think you'd get along with
someone more energetic.
Also, maybe an older person or
a foreigner.
Sayo: (She's talking about Fumiko...)
Kohtaro: Fate? How is that fate!?
Tsukiko: Don't you know? Grandfather is
behind this. Koh, you're supposed to
kill everybody and become king.
Kohtaro: Uwaaaaaaahh!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Now the spell... will be complete.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Sayo embraced Kohtaro who was
crying like a child.
Sayo: ...Don't cry.
Please don't cry...
I'm here for you.
I'll always be here...
Kohtaro cries inside Sayo's arms.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--B. Batu Harai-------------------------------------------------------(cs3ba)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: The castle that only appears during
a full moon is known as the Swan
Castle.
After a long absence, I, Batu Harai,
returned to my homeland as a
mercenary.
Whet I heard about my homeland's
predicament, I had to do something.
-STAGE 1-
Batu: A castle bathed in the light of
a full moon... It's a nice fairy tale,
but it makes me uneasy.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Batu: ...A woman, huh?
Yukari: So what?
Batu: ...Never mind. I have no right to
judge anyone, not since the day I
first killed for money.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: It hurts...
Batu: It'll end soon enough.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: What is your intent by returning to
your homeland, Batu, son of Bayan?
...Do you want to be a hero?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
warrior. Or should I call you
knight?
Batu: I'm not honorable enough to be
called a warrior. And I'm not pretty
enough to be a knight.
Shikou: I see you come alone, and without
sword or shield. "Regret" seems to
motivate your actions.
Your heart spoke to you.
You found a reason more worthy than
money or fame.
Batu: I'm just a mercenary that made a
pact with hell. I no longer hear the
voice of heaven.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Well done!
You may proceed!
Batu: ...
-STAGE 3-
Batu: ...Long ago, I made a deal with the
devil, just because I desired mere
money.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: What a brave wind. It's like a
breeze ready to oppose a tempest.
The wind in your heart must have
spoken to you. It said, "Fight,
Batu."
Batu: It's not my voice. It is the voice of
the dead: the voice of my wife,
the voice of my son.
Freedom: ...I see.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: When the battle ends, you will...
Batu: No one that attacks this castle
alone would consider something like
that.
Until I've had my fill of battle,
I have time to repent in hell.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: ...Until I've had my fill of battle.
Indeed... I have an eternity to
repent in hell.
But I can't die just yet.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You're alone.
Now and forever.
You'll always be alone.
Batu: ...Naturally. There's no way I can
go to heaven and face my family.
Kagachi: But you're not alone yet.
You have me afterall.
Your enemy.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You should've just died.
It's tormenting to be alone.
Batu: I'll do that when I'm tired of
fighting.
-STAGE 5-
Batu: ...I don't even have a strategy,
yet I've come this far.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
mercenary with a death wish.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Batu: Death wish or not, I'll die when I
win. And this place is hardly a
castle of nightmares.
This is a good place to die.
Today is a good day to die.
I think I will have a good death.
So, nightmare of whatever you are,
this is the end for you.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...What will waking all of the
sleeping people do?
What do you intend to gain?
Batu: Nothing.
I don't want anything.
Not anymore... Not from anyone.
Tsukiko: Let... reality crush you.
-ENDING-
With his chest pierced by the
enemy's last blow, Batu smiled as
he watched the castle crumble.
Batu: This is a good end...
I wonder if the voice I heard...
really was my son...
...If only I had been more of a
father to him...
*crumble*
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--C. Emilio Stanburke-------------------------------------------------(cs3em)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: Bearing a grudge against the world,
my father was engulfed in power and
passed on yesterday.
As the one who took over the dark
side of the royal family, I have a
demon living in me.
I wonder why this happened to me.
Was it wrong for me to have been
born?
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: So, this is the Swan Castle...
The place that holds my people
captive.
...Alright.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Oh! How cuuute~
Emilio: Unhand me, woman!
Yukari: What the matter?
A little hug won't do any harm,
will it?
Emilio: I'm saying it's odd to do that to
someone you don't even know.
Who are you anyway?
Yukari: Oh, me?
I'm the boss for this stage.
Emilio: ...
Yukari: ...
Emilio: Let's to battle.
Yukari: Okay.
Man, this is gonna be tough.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I knew I couldn't get myself to hurt
a cute little boy like you!
Emilio: What kind of place is this?
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: This place reminds me of a
nightmare. It's like something out
of a fairy tale.
Come to think of it, that woman was
similar to a witch.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You seem dignified and accustomed to
giving orders. Are you of royal
upbringing?
Emilio: My name is Emilio Stanburke.
I am the Count of this country.
Return my people to me.
Shikou: I am Shikou Mibuya.
I am usually not permitted to reveal
my name...
But I am pleased to be able to fight
people of such esteem.
Emilio: Thank you, Shikou.
Shikou: ...Heh. Here I come!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Well done...
You may proceed.
Emilio: ...Don't you think even for a bit
that it is meaningless to fight?
Shikou: ...I fight for the same reason you
do. When nothing else can be done.
-STAGE 3-
Emilio: It hurts.... Demon that gnaws at me
from within, if you can hear me,
obey my command.
If you wish to claim my life, do it
after I save my people...
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A sad wind is blowing.
A wind that believes it has been
abandoned by everything.
Emilio: I'm... I'm royalty.
Everyone expects no less of me.
So I'm alone. What of it?
I'll take it into consideration but
there's nothing I can do about it.
I will perform my duty until I die.
Freedom: ...Do not cry. Your dreams and your
reality are not the same, for better
and for worse.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Even so, the wind continues to blow,
and it does not hate you.
Emilio: Then what do you want me to do!?
You just disappear when you want to!
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: Why am I being lectured by the
enemy? They say something kind,
so they can attack me...
They're just going to be killed by
me.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Welcome warrior.
I am your enemy.
Emilio: If you return my people, you are
not my enemy. Please return them.
I don't want to hurt anyone else.
Kagachi: Lies. You don't want to hurt your
conscience. If you are a warrior,
throw such things away. Be a beast!
Emilio: I am not a warrior, nor am I a
beast. I...
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: That was a good battle.
Emilio: Why can't you just leave me
alone...?
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: Why can't they just leave me alone?
Wjy can't everyone just leave me
alone...?
Is it my fault?
Who should I apologize to?
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
young Count. I am your greatest
nightmare.
Emilio: Enough prattle.
Return my people to me.
Tsukiko: Why? They laugh and call you a
spoiled brat, a demon child
abandoned by his own mother.
Emilio: Even I know that...
Tsukiko: ...Then why do you fight?
Emilio: Though some people may look down on
me, I am not going to become the
kind of person they expect me to be.
And there just might be someone out
there who needs me.
Tsukiko: Your dream is so foolish it's sad.
...Very well, I'll fight you. Then
you can die and have sweet dreams.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...It may not seem like it, but I'm
very much like you.
Emilio: Absurd.
Tsukiko: Like me, you are fond of the light,
but you will never live under or
acquire it.
So I'll show pity on you.
I will die along with you.
Emilio: No thanks. I don't mind dying, but
not right now. I still have a duty
to fulfill as royalty!
It's not over yet.
It's not over yet!
-ENDING-
And...
After Emilio awakened the citizens,
he laid down on the meadow where the
castle had disappeared.
And as he gave the citizens a smile,
he quietly took his last breath and
passed away as if he were sleeping.

--D. Fumiko Odette Van Stein------------------------------------------(cs3fu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Fumiko: This country isn't very industrious
and is always drinking wine. Reminds
me of home and makes me miserable.
But that's fine.
I'll help you if you say so.
You just owe me another one.
-STAGE 1-
Fumiko: The details are a little sketchy.
Maybe this castle isn't authentic.
Even so, the magic is pretty good.
Now I'm interested.
I think I'll go for a walk.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: ...You're finally here.
Sky-blue Witch.
Fumiko: And you are?
Yukari: ...Yukari Horiguchi. Yu-ka-ri! I was
the 4th stage boss in the last game!
A lot has happened since the
terrible time dealing with you!
But I managed to get a new job!
With that said, sorry.
But this is as far as you go.
Prepare yourself.
Fumiko: I'm so sorry. I have no interest in
a face I've already stepped on, nor
a face as plain as yours.
Oh, but let me say this from
the bottom of my heart:
Congratulations on the new job.
The person that hired you must have
very unusual taste or poor vision.
Yukari: ...Tch. I don't expect to verbally
win against an old maid like you.
I'll defeat you with my fighting skills.
I'm not the same person as before!
Now I'm Yukari Mark 2!
I always get the hex I'm aiming for!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Fumiko: Did you really think you could beat
me with your skills?
Yukari: Ugh...
Fumiko: Didn't you realize you were demoted
once you were put on Stage 1?
You're so stupid.
Yukari: Y-You're a bully...
-STAGE 2-
Fumiko: Little tramp!
Old maid, huh? I should've killed
her a few more times. Oh well, I'll
take it out on the next one.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Good of you for coming from so far
away, Sky-blue Witch and the shield
of Japan.
Fumiko: ...My, you're quite an attractive
man.
Shikou: ...I guess I should say thanks.
Or should I say I'm honored?
Fumiko: ...Either is fine. I'm used to it,
but it's refreshing to hear it on
the battlefield.
Shikou: But I'm your enemy.
Fumiko: I like fighting against men my type.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...You went easy.
I can't die like this...
Fumiko: I like to give handsome men a second
chance. You need to be more refined.
-STAGE 3-
Fumiko: This place is pretty nice.
I hope there are a lot more handsome
men.
Ah, I know. It might be nice to
make a castle like this. I'll have
Munchausen figure it out.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A sky-blue wind is blowing.
...So you made it, my child.
My greatest sin.
Fumiko: ...Step...mother?
It can't be.
Freedom: ...You still call me that, I see.
Fumiko: ...
Hmhmhmhmhm.
Freedom: ...What's the matter?
Fumiko: Today's a good day.
I get another chance to kill you.
I'm so happy, I'm crying.
Freedom: ...You still think of that person...
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Fumiko: I feel much better now.
-STAGE 4-
Fumiko: I'm relieved. If Kohtaro were here,
he might have been taken from me.
He does seem weak against that type.
There might be other women like her
ahead, I'd better taken them all
down...
At any rate... Nah...
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You are beautiful.
Fumiko: Strange face, but I kind of like
you.
Kagachi: You're the second person who said
they kind of like me.
Fumiko: Are you fighting for her?
Kagachi: That's right. From the bottom of my
heart. I think I would've died for
you if you'd said that to me first.
Fumiko: Thanks for the compliment.
I'm pleased.
...Now then, let's begin.
Kagachi: Of course.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Kill me.
Fumiko: No. Lay there and think about how
you should've died. But if you're a
man, you should keep on living.
-STAGE 5-
Fumiko: ..At this rate, the last one must
be a woman. How disappointing.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Fumiko: ...You're not as bad as a nightmare.
I know all about you.
You're Kohtaro's childhood friend.
Tsukiko: ...Yes, and what you fear most is...
Fumiko: Having Kohyaro stolen by you.
So it's not a nightmare yet.
After all, I'm going to kill you.
It's all the same, no matter who
my opponent is.
Male enemies I can let live, but
female ones have to die. I'm a
little particular about that.
Tsukiko: Perverted much?
Fumiko: I'm just honest with myself.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...I'm not finished yet.
Fumiko: Oh, I'm glad.
I wasn't finished killing you yet.
-ENDING-
Fumiko: Oh no, morning again?
How many times does Kohtaro expect
me to stay up all night?
If he wants me to stay up all night,
I'd prefer to stay up for a
different reason. *sigh*
He really has stolen my heart.
Still, it is a great day.
I got to defeat quite a few
people in my way. Sayo's the only
one left. What a refreshing morning.

--E. Roger Sasuke-----------------------------------------------------(cs3ro)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: I am Roger Sasuke, the international
ninja who has trouble dealing with
his increasing popularity.
This time I am here with my beloved
Kohato and Sayo in Eastern Europe.
I feel a little embarrassed about my
first trip abroad.
-STAGE 1-
Roger: According to that tramp Reika, a
mistake will occur between my
beloved Kohtaro and Sayo tonight.
I won't allow it, Sayo...
I mean Kohataro! Aahahaha!
I'm going to destroy this castle and
change the course of history! Let's
go, Moonsong! Pierce my enemies!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: What's with the cosplay? *gasp*
You're not here to stop me from
becoming a global idol, are you!?
Roger: Earth, wind and fire call out to me.
They tell me to protect my friends.
For their sake and the friendship I
hold dear, my shuriken will fly!
Behold! You're as good as dead!
My name is Roger Sasuke, the
internationl ninja who travels the
world! I've arrived with a new look!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why do you always show up!?
I need to increase my appearance
fee! Rwaahh!
Roger: Kohtaro is not the type to dislike
a girl like you...
-STAGE 2-
Roger: I must hurry! There's only two hours
left, I must solve this incident
before Sayo and Kohtaro get here!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I've been waiting for you. You're an
evil existence that has besmirched
my culture with your misconceptions.
Roger: You are mistaken, elder. The ninja
that is adored in this world is not
the historically correct ninja.
The world longs for ninja like me,
a shadow that never backs down and
risks everything for great justice.
If the world is in danger, it is up
to us shadows to stop it!
As Roger the international ninja,
I've done away with old traditions
and have arrived to kick your ass!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: The old traditions...
Roger: Only one needs to be preserved.
The "valor" that shines when you
fight for the sake of others.
-STAGE 3-
Roger: This isn't good.
At this rate, those two will arrive
and have their first kiss.
Hurry, Roger! For Kohtaro!
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A white wind is blowing.
You are... a white pearl, aren't
you? Are you still after Spica?
Roger: ...Another one? ....No, I see.
The Dreak Park System. So that's why
desires are so easily reflected...
Freedom: Is something the matter?
Roger: Operation complete! I'm going to
make you instantly disappear.
Freedom: As usual, you're not listening.
Very well, I'll take you on.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I wonder if you'll succeed.
Roger: I'm just going to interrupt them.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: Noo! Only 30 minutes left!
I-I need to hurry.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Wel--
Roger: Shut up! Die!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I barely got a word in...
Roger: I can't allow Kohtaro's lips to be
taken.
-STAGE 5-
Roger: Hurry, Roger.
For the sake of your friend's
chastity...!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
international ninja. I am your
greatest nightmare.
Roger: For my friend's chastity, I'll cut
you! I'll kill you no matter what!
It's like killing two birds with one
stone since you look like Tsukiko!
Tsukiko: You're too late. It's a shame but,
right about now, those two are...
Roger: You nightmare!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let... reality crush you.
Roger: I won't let it!
I won't let it happen!
-ENDING-
As Roger stood there, he saw
Kohtaro and Sayo walking towards
him, holding hands.
The two quickly stop holding hands
as Roger runs up to them.
Kohtaro: Wh-what did Sayo do to you!?
Sayo: ...
Roger: ...
Nooooooooooooooo!

--F. Gennojo Hyuga----------------------------------------------------(cs3ge)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Gennojo: I thought there were nine others.
Why am I the only one in front of
the castle...?
Damn, everyone's asleep and won't
wake up.
Should I go to sleep too? No, no,
I can't. No sense in me being part
of the gag... Fine, I'll solve this.
-STAGE 1-
Gennojo: Well, this is a beautiful castle.
It looks like it'd be in a fairy
tale.
It appears that the missing people
are all held captive inside this
castle.
Oh well, let's begin the
investigation.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: It's a celebration! I'm back again
in my outfit I wear working
part-time in the flower shop.
Yukari Horiguchi!
Gennojo: ...
Uh, well, I don't really care, but
why you?
Yukari: Can you guess?
For revenge, of course! I lost last
time, but I'm gonna win this time.
Now, let's fight fair and square!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: You'll pay for this!
Gennojo: Don't show yourself again.
I get tired talking to you.
-STAGE 2-
Gennojo: What's going on?
I defeated that woman once already.
Did she come after me? How?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I believe I should say good of you
to make it, ancient god.
Gennojo: The Imperial Court's dog, huh?
Shikou: Silence, mountain dog. Your kind is
meant to be extinct. Sink into
darkness! Come forth, Yata!
Gennojo: ...I see. You're Sayo's...
I mean... What's going on?
Why are you doing this?
We're both supposed to be employed
by the government.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Damn ancient god...
Gennojo: I'm not quite middle-aged yet.
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: Do they ever leave the country?
Do they ever go against their
country?
No, probably not.
That's impossible.
...Then what's going on here?
That thing and Yukari must both be
fake.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: What a gentle wind indeed.
The kind that blows after a
hurricane.
Gennojo: I'm surprised.
You're terribly beautiful.
Freedom: Thank you.
I'm flattered.
Gennojo: This is difficult, dealing with
someone like you.
Freedom: I'm supposedly a nightmare.
Gennojo: I'm sure I'll be having nightmares
for days after harming you. I'll try
to go easy, so please forgive me.
Freedom: Sure.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I forgive you.
Don't let it worry you.
Gennojo: ...Sorry.
-STAGE 4-
Gennojo: ...Nightmares. So that's why people
that are incoherent and without
rules keep showing up.
Well now... What do I do now?
I've never arrested a nightmare
before.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You have the scent of a beast like
me. Ancient god. Wolf.
Gennojo: I'm overwhelmed. So there are still
others like me left. No, this must
be another nightmare.
But even if it is a nightmare, I'm
overjoyed.
Kagachi: I'm happy as well.
It's been a while since I hunted my
own kind.
Gennojo: Yeah, you're right.
I can't understand why people say
this is a nightmare.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You're... strong...
Gennojo: It was a good hunt.
Your flesh and blood will become
part of me.
Kagachi: I will live on as a part of you.
-STAGE 5-
Gennojo: ...Could this mean that this isn't
really a nightmare for anybody?
The question is, what kind of
relationship do the missing people
have with one another.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
brave warrior. I am this castle's
master, and its greatest nightmare.
Gennojo: In my case, living is a nightmare
for me. I'd much rather fight like
I am now.
Tsukiko: Oh, then why are you awake?
You should just fall asleep like the
others. You'll have good dreams.
Gennojo: I'll pass on that. I don't like
nightmares, but it makes me even
more sick to run from them.
Tsukiko: That must be the pride of an ancient
god.
Gennojo: No. It's just my way of getting
along with idiots.
I have an idiot for a partner.
Then, there's his idiot friend,
the girl he loves. And...
You get the picture.
Tsukiko: I see. An idiot's pride.
Let's see if it can win against a
nightmare!
Gennojo: Oh, it'll win. But it's not a matter
of winning or losing. It's a matter
of killing time.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Gennojo: Well now... It's finally over.
It looks like the missing people
are safe as well. Case closed...!
*crumble*
Gennojo: ...Or not. Well, well...
It really is a nightmare.
No, maybe not...
If I fight and someone can be happy,
it's not such a bad dream after all.
-ENDING-
Gennojo: It was supposed to be a castle of
nightmares, but now I wonder if
it really was.
Was this experience really a
nightmare for me? Or was it meant
for someone else?
Hyuga smiled, then proceeded to walk
toward his friends that appeared to
have awakened.
Gennojo: No, it's probably how I look at it.
Reality is a nightmare...
But not so much these days.

--G. Mihee Kim--------------------------------------------------------(cs3mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: ...Regardless of the act that this
is some sort of diplomatic
consideration by our government...
Why do I... I've gotten separated
from the group as I was talking.
What do they want me to do anyway!?
I don't understand this country's
language, you know! *sigh* It can't
be helped... Let's end this mission.
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: ...At least I can be myself when
I'm alone.
I'm so sick of having to go along
with these farces. I'm going to end
this quickly.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Can you hear it? A storm's coming.
Yukari Wing 2!
I always get the hex I'm aiming for.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Aahahaha.
Mihee: Weak dogs bark loudest.
Yukari: Grrrrr, arf!
Mihee: You insulted me.
I'll kill you.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Ow!
Mihee: Die like the dog you are.
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: I feel a little better now.
I wonder if this castle will make me
feel even better?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: How evil. You don't even have the
honor of a warrior.
Mihee: Evil? Me?
That's right.
I take revenge on everything.
Shikou: ...
Mihee: Die!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Hatred bears nothing.
Mihee: This body can bear nothing. This
body is drenched in poison. I was
created only to destroy and kill.
Shikou: For assassinations... Uggh...
-STAGE 3-
Mihee: I was supposed to kill my traitorous
cousin... What am I doing here...?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: ...A pitiful wind is blowing.
Mihee: A woman so beautiful and insolent.
I hate people like you.
Freedom: ...You are... Never mind.
Nothing I say to you will matter.
Mihee: I'm going to kill you.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Ugh...
Mihee: Heheheheheh!
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: ...Not yet... I'm still not done
killing. I'm going to kill, kill,
kill...
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: I smell poison from your body.
Mihee: I was given poison since the day I
was born. Now I can even kill just
by touching somone with my hand.
That is the family business. And
since I've told you our secret...
I'm going to have to kill you.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...
Mihee: You should be happy to be killed by
me.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: *panting*
It feels good.
If I kill even more, I'll be happy.
Most definitely.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: ...Don't make me laugh.
What about you is a nightmare?
Tsukiko: You don't like women, do you?
Beautiful women. Women that are
whole. Because you are defective.
Mihee: ...I'll kill you.
I'll kill you!
Tsukiko: If you continue to live, you'll
probaby be sad. Go to sleep. Your
heart will surely be at ease.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Foolish child...
I showed you compassion.
-ENDING-
As dawn emerged, Mihee Kim was on
both knees, looking up at the heavens
laughing loudly.
Mihee: Ahahahahaha! I killed them!
I killed them all!
They deserved it...
So then, why am I so sad?
Did I forget to kill somebody...?
Do I have to do more killing...?
Aaaaaaahhhhh...
Mihee Kim cried out.

--H. Nagino Ise-------------------------------------------------------(cs3na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: Stardate 20120603. I'm a traveling
sandwich chef brought to this
country by a meddlesome adult.
His speculative nature reminds me of
MAKI. Because of that, I've decided
to help him a little.
-STAGE 1-
Nagino: I'm about to enter this castle on
behalf of Gennojo Hyuga and look for
the missing people.
Is that all right with you, Nagino
Ise?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand. It's Yukari
ver. 2! I'm here to nuke your heart!
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Nagino: You can fight me, but remember this.
I don't hold back. I don't know
defeat. And I always eliminate any
obstacle that gets in my way.
You can surrender of get trampled
on. It's your privilege as the
loser to choose one.
Yukari: How irritating. That kind of talk is
so un-cute! You've pissed me off!
I'll make you cry uncle!
Nagino: Then trampled it is.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: This sucks! The game balance is
awful!
Nagino: I'm a generous person. I'll allow
you freedom of speech even in hell.
Scream all you want.
-STAGE 2-
Nagino: The flesh didn't feel the same when
I killed her... Does it mean she
wasn't real?
The space inside and the space
outside are different. It's safe to
conclude that nothing here is real.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You seem dignified and accustomed to
giving orders, are you of royal
upbringing?
Nagino: My name is Mirai Shibamura.
I'm just an ultimate and unrivaled
regular human.
Shikou: The bloodline of Blue, huh? I am
Shikou Mibuya. I am usually not
permitted to reveal my name...
But I am pleased to be able to
people of such esettem. My shikigami
is known as Yata! Here I come!
Nagino: My shikigami is called Strider!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Strong.
So this is the power of Gump...
Nagino: I'm just an ordinary girl. Just
remember that it's more effective to
hit someone than to use magic.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: This isn't an illusion I'm seeing.</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
That was a word I don't know.
At any rate, it's strange that they
would know that I don't know that
word. What's going on here...?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An 8th wind ascends to the heavens.
I know people like you. The blue
born from black, the blue of blue.
Nagino: Some people call me the Blue
Daughter of Blue.
Freedom: As I thought. So that one had
offspring, the true king that will
lead us.
Nagino: That's just an illusion.
My father doesn't know I exist.
Freedom: I'm not so sure about that. At any
rate, I'm honored to be able to
polish your skills. Let us begin.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Well done...
Nagino: ...Where did you come from?
No, I guess it really doesn't
matter.
-STAGE 4-
Nagino: I thought that, if it were not my
hallucination or an illusion, it
would be someone else's dream.
I see... These are nightmares that
people are dreaming of. Someone must
be holding everything together.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You look strong.
Maybe even stronger than me.
Nagino: You're right. Withdraw.
I won't pursure if you leave
immediately.
Kagachi: Thanks for the offer.
But I can't.
I will protect Tsukiko.
Nagino: I see. I'm sorry to hear that.
Then let's fight.
Kagachi: I'm glad you're so understanding.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Aaaarrgh!
Nagino: Say my name in hell.
I have a special place prepared for
you. My name is Mirai the Blue.
-STAGE 5-
Nagino: There's a nightmare that everyone's
seeing. It's my job to destroy it
and wake everybody up.
Mmm, it actually feels like I'm
doing a good thing when I say it out
loud.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Nagino: This is someone's nightmare.
But it's not mine.
Tsukiko: What is your nightmare?
Nagino: ...I wouldn't like it if I found out
that the father I've wanted to kill
all this time was a kind man.
Tsukiko: You are indeed the Queen of Flames.
Even your dream is quite out of the
ordinary.
A cursed child born to a demon lord
and a shrine maiden of electronics.
An arrow fated to incinerate all.
Nagino: I'm neither a Queen nor an arrow.
I'm just a human. A regular person
whose wishes have become reality.
Someone's nightmare, it's time to
meet your end. Your archenemy is
here, inside my heart.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Nagino: ...Still standing?
Still, it's feeble-minded if you
think you can win by growing larger.
It simply means that a nightmare is
not realistic.
-ENDING-
Nagino: Well, I've done my duty.
What I do from now on is on me.
Nagino takes the black pepper used
for sandwiches from her backpack and
sprinkles it on the sleeping people.
Sayo: *sneeze*
Kohtaro: Waaachoo!
Wh-What!?
Nagino: Hey, hurry up and wake up.
It's morning already.
Today's another nice day!

embarrassing story of the past.
Picked up by History Security Police
Director Hagi, she now works as Time
Gal, battling crimes against time.
Reika: And so, Reika has arrived in
Alcaland.
I'm gonna solve this incident, or
my name is the Red *****, taken from
my red hair.
-STAGE 1-
Reika: Sooooo, I may have made it to this
country, but...
Hehehe, I'm so lost.
What do I do...?
I guess I should just keep moving?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand, it's Yukari
version 2! With a scent of love in
the air, I'm racier than before!
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Reika: Ahhh, so you're Yukari Horiguchi.
Wait one moment please.
Let's see, there's seret
informartion about you in the pink
police notepad.
According to this, the very first
thing you cosplayed as is...
Yukari: Nooo! Stop! Don't say any more!
Reika: Case closed.
Yukari: No, no, if it ended here, it wouldn't
be right to the customers.
Reika: The summer makes a woman feel free.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Y-You time criminal.
Reika: That's time traveler.
Space is an ocean of space.
-STAGE 2-
Reika: *sigh* This is so hard.
Ah, the old days were so good.
All the arcades had a poster of me.
This must be time taking its toll...
*sniffle*
But that's okay.
According to the ouija board,
things are going pretty well.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: So you made it, warrior.
Reika: Oh no, his face looks scary.
Can you look a little kinder?
Please?
Shikou: Stop making requests to the enemy.
Reika: There's this place where Varner
Bros. used to be...
Shikou: Oh crap!
Reika: Your face didn't look like that when
you were waiting for a girl in front
of Trader Moe's.
Shikou: H-How do you know that?
Reika: Reika's a time cop.
I know lots of things.
..Isn't that a crime?
Reika: It'll be okay! There's no proof.
I'm a time cop after all.
Shikou: Hhmph, you ghost from the 60s!
All I have to do is defeat you!
Sink into darkness!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Y-you time criminal.
Reika: Reika, age 16.
I don't belong to anybody yet.
-STAGE 3-
Reika: Oh! Crap! I should've asked that
criminal I just defeated for
directions... What do I do now?
No arrows show up on the screen,
so I don't know which way to go.
Hey, don't you guys playing the
game think so too?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A beloved wind is blowing.
It is slightly embarrassed and tart.
Reika: And this is what the modern boys
and girls call it these days.
Time Gal!
Freedom: ...
Reika: ...
Freedom: That looks a little embarrassing.
Reika: Not at all.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: What was that last attack...?
Reika: Special attack. Kame******.
Isn't it just a regular shikigami
attack?
Reika: If you rapid-fire it,
it becomes a special attack! (lie..)
-STAGE 4-
Reika: Oh no, which way should I go?
Ah, but the enemy seems to be
getting stronger, so I should be on
the right track.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Welcome, Time Gal Reika.
Reika: You're also a time criminal, aren't
you?
Kagachi: No, you're wrong.
Reika: Oh, that's right. Reika's a cop.
Ahaha, silly me.
So, anyway, this is the end for you!
Time criminal!
Kagachi: You can't bluff your way through
this one. Die.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Time Gal... Reika...
Reika: Think of me as your little sister.
-STAGE 5-
Reika: Buh? I think I'm forgetting
something... What was it?
Hrmmm.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome, Time Gal Reika.
Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
And, farewell.
You've made a grave mistake coming
here.
The past is something to be yearned.
Not something to be ashamed about.
People like you are an eyesore.
Reika: You're wrong.
You should be embarrassed about the
past. How can you be satisfied with
your past self or your past works?
You can move forward because you
feel embarrassed. The future will
end if you're always looking back.
Tsukiko: Who are you to say that, Reika?
You're a remnant from the past.
You're a time criminal.
Reika: Something new might be born from me.
The legend of green hair might start
again.
There might be someone who wants to
change an embarrassing thing into
something it's not.
No matter how many years go by,
there may be someone that will
never forget me. Just like now!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Stupd girl.
This is the end.
Reika: Not yet! The game still continues,
and there's a player that's fighting
alongside me.
As long as the game continues and
there's a 0.1% chance of clearing
it...
I'll do it. Everyone playing this
game, lend Reika your strength.
Let's show them a shmup legend.
-ENDING-
And so...
The future. 3002 A.D.
//The History Security Police Office.
Fumiko: So, what happened, sergeant?
It appears that my husband still
isn't Kohtaro.
Reika: Ahahaha.
Well, I was on a roll and deafeated
all the bosses, but...
Fumiko: But?
Reika: I'm sorry.
I forgot about the mission.
Fumiko: ...Why you!
Reika: Waaaaaaaaah!
The End.

--J. Munchausen-------------------------------------------------------(cs3mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Munchausen: I, Munchausen, have arrived at this
castle for Lady Fumiko, so she can
have some fun with Master Kohtaro.
I have not fought in actual combat
since the days I trained with
Kohtaro. I hope all will go well.
-STAGE 1-
Munchausen: Well then, I, Munchausen, shall take
my lady's place and do my best to
fulfill my duty.
Love will triumph over all.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: What? Are you telling me this shabby
old man is the hidden character?
Munchausen: Perhaps my predecessor was, but I
don't think that I'm shabby.
I'll have to educate you.
Prepare yourself.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I... lost...?
Munchausen: Be graceful! Be more graceful!
-STAGE 2-
Munchausen: There once was a woman in a dusty
little town.
There's no use in crying all day.
That's why I took the hand of a
demon and decided to save the world.
I'll take on all the gods and fight
for the beautiful world I desire.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You seem to be a strong foe.
Munchausen: You are correct.
I'm sure I'm the strongest foe you
have ever seen.
Above all, I cannot hold back like
my lady can.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Why don't you kill me?
Munchausen: Train some more and try again.
I intend to die against the
strongest enemy.
-STAGE 3-
Munchausen: There once a woman who lived in
the mountaines that tasted like
tears.
There's no use in crying all day.
That's why I took the hand of a
demon and decided to enchant men.
I'll take on all justice to enchant
the men I consider beautiful.
Pure love is about theft and
robbery. Whoever it may be, things
naturally end up that way.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: As eastern wind is blowing.
A wind that can blow away all
darkess. A sad gust of wind.
You're one of the evil demons that
fought alongside the dancing doll.
Munchausen: You are correct. I have been chamred
and attracted by the beauty of the
world and have ended up here.
Freedom: What kind is it?
Munchausen: The tears of a beautiful woman.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You went easy on me.
Munchausen: It isn't graceful to mass produce
the most beatuiful thing in this
world and lower its value.
Yes, just get treatment for about a
month.
-STAGE 4-
Munchausen: See, all men are mine. Isn't that
so? Everyone has something wonderful
about them.
Lalala lalala lalalalala lalala.
I'm so happy. Look, the dawn is so
beautiful. As if to praise me.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: That's a nice song.
Munchausen: I am very honored.
Kagachi: Is there something wonderful about
me?
Munchausen: You must work hard. Although my lady
will probably find beauty without
working hard.
But to cling to benevolence from
the beginning is rather tasteless.
Kagachi: You're right.
Then I'll fight with all my might.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Is there something wonderful about
me too?
Munchausen: More than enough to make love to a
woman.
Kagachi: I see...
-STAGE 5-
Munchausen: That's why I will wield a sword in
my hand and devastate the world.
Just as you say my lady.
The world wishes to be dominated by
you... At least half does.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: On behalf of all the women in
this world, I cast judgement on the
witch.
For the sluttish crime of seducing
many men, the verdict is death. The
same applies to her servant as well.
Munchausen: I'm sorry, Fraulein. My intention
was to accompany her to hell from
the very beginning.
Tsukiko: Then die.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...You didn't go easy on me.
Munchausen: You are Lady Fumiko's rival in love
after all.
Tsukiko: ...You egoist.
Let reality crush you.
Munchausen: Pardon me for saying so, but I'm a
romanticist.
-ENDING-
The castle crumbled spectacularly.
Avoiding debris with an umbrella,
Munchausen looked up refreshed.
Munchausen: Well, mission accomplished.
Ah, a phone call.
Understoond. Ah, your change of
clothes? I will be right there.
Please wait about ten seconds.
And so, Munchausen's day begins.

--A1. Kohtaro + Batu--------------------------------------------------(ko+ba)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: I had only heard about Swan Castle
in fairy tales.
I never thought I would actually
see it in person.
Kohtaro: It's beautiful.
Sayo: I like Japanese castle's better.
Kohtaro: If this one's a swan, then Himeji
Castle in Japan is a white heron.
It might be fun to compare them.
Sayo: You just showed off that you're
smarter than me, didn't you? Just
because you can speak Old English.
Kohtaro: I did not.
I was a terrible student at school.
-STAGE 1-
Batu: A boy and a girl.
Kohtaro: You don't look happy.
Batu: They have no place on a battlefield,
especially women.
Sayo: I would do anythi--
Kohtaro: That's taboo here, Sayo.
Yeah, I guess they may not be suited
for battle.
But this isn't a war.
It's an incident.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Yukari. Yukari. Yukari. Yukari.
Yukari's so beautiful. Yukari's so
beautiful.
Yukari. Yukari. Yuka-Yuka. Yukari.
Kohtaro: See? You don't see that on the
battlefield, do you?
Batu: It's battle neurosis.
Yukari: Don't make it sound like I'm sick!
How rude!
Kohtaro: She's always been like that.
Yukari: Ugaaahh!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Batu: Rest in peace.
Kohtaro: Don't kill her.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: Don't be weak, boy. You shouldn't
show mercy on the enemy. You'll
regret it when you're about to die.
Kohtaro: I'm just saying that there aren't
that many people in this world that
are so bad they deserve to die.
Batu: A good enemy is a dead enemy. If the
enemy is moving, he still hasn't had
a bullet in him yet.
Sayo: (This man is just like me a long
time ago... Before I met Kohtaro.)
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I'm glad that you've regained some
expression in your face. Is it
because of that boy?
Sayo: Uncle...
Shikou: I'd like to get reacquainted with
you, but I can't. You understand,
don't you?
Sayo: You're here to punish me...
Shikou: If you want to live, fight with
everything you've got. Then
preserve your bloodline.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Do your best.
Sayo: I will.
-STAGE 3-
Batu: Even against family, you shouldn't
go easy.
Kohtaro: Hey, old man, is that all you have
to say? Don't you have anything
else?
Batu: Old man?
Sayo: ...Thank you...
Kohtaro: What about?
Sayo: ...Oh, it's nothing.
Batu: Hmph... Let's move on.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A traveler of the wind has arrived.
You're headed for the center of the
wind.
Batu: Everyone here seems to be affected
by battle neurosis.
Freedom: Young lady, I'll tell you this
before we go into battle. That boy
will be gone soon. Prepare yourself.
Sayo: ...!?
Kohtaro: Huh? What are you talking about?
I'm going back to Japan, so of
course I'm going to be gone.
Freedom: I like how you're serious when you
say that. Now, let's begin. Show me
your dance.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Sayo: Please tell me.
Why is Kohtaro going to go somehwere
far away?
Freedom: A cat with a red tunic will guide
him.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: It's your fault.
Apologize.
Kohtaro: Huh? It's not my fault.
Batu: It's usually a man's fault whenever
a woman is crying.
Kohtaro: Hey now.
...Sayo don't worry about it.
I'm not going anywhere.
Batu: Be careful. Greenhorns that say
things like that usually die in the
next battle.
Kohtaro: Where'd that jinx come from?
Hey, don't cry. You're such a
crybaby, Sayo.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Lady Tsukiko is saddened by you.
Batu: You're the enemy of women.
Kohtaro: No I'm not.
Who are you anyway!?
Kagachi: Lady Tsukiko's protector.
And I will eliminate this woman for
her.
Kohtaro: Stop!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Lady... Tsukiko...
-STAGE 5-
Batu: Who is this Tsukiko person?
Kohtaro: ...She's like a younger sister to
me.
Batu: This incident seems to be about your
inner circle. No wonder you didn't
want to turn it into a fight.
Sayo: Don't pick on Kohtaro.
Batu: And the woman stands up for you.
Kohtaro: ...
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
Kohtaro: Tsukiko...
Tsukiko: I was waiting for you, Koh.
Kohtaro: I defeated my older brother, and
now do I have to defeat you too?
Tsukiko: ...Yes.
But that may not be such a bad
thing.
Kohtaro: What do you mean?
Tsukiko: You'll soon find out.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Kohtaro: Tsukiko!
Tsukiko: Your brother Shin and I will become
part of your flesh and blood.
Nothing can be happier than that.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Sayo: And so, Kohtaro disappeared inside
the crumbling castle.
Later, we tried to search for him,
but we couldn't find anything.
I was saved by Batu. I am grateful
to him, but I have no idea why I
continue to go on living...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--A2. Kohtaro + Emilio------------------------------------------------(ko+em)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Early afternoon. Cafe terrace.
Munchausen is serving tea.
Nagino: I wonder if Papa Kohtaro and Emilio
are getting along.
Batu: I hope so.
Nagino: Maybe they're fighting.
Batu: I don't know about that boy, but the
young master is a great person. I'm
sure that wouldn't happen.
Nagino: (I wonder?)
Munchausen: Please continue the rest of this
story with Emilio and Kohtaro.
Batu: Who are you talking to?
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: Why won't you leave me alone?
Kohtaro: It was decided by drawing. Gennojo
said that working in pairs is basic
in an investigation.
Emilio: You two are already a pair!
Kohtaro: What? Did you prefer to be with
Nagi?
Emilio: N-no, I wanted Batu...
No, that's not quite right either.
Anyway, just leave me alone!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Game champion. Yukari is here!
Emilio: Hey there, passer-by.
What is this place?
Yukari: ...Uhh, well, I'm actually the stage
boss, one of the big bad guys. You
can't get past unless you defeat me.
Emilio: Ah, I'm sorry.
Yukari: Oh no, don't worry about it.
Kohtaro: Are you both idiots?
Yukari: Look who's talking!
So what if you have a girlfriend!
Kohtaro: Wha, where did that come from?
Yukari: Ugh! This is irritating! I'm gonna
take all of you out at once!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Three against one is unfair!
Kohtaro: You must have no sense of
responsibility if you're one of the
evil bosses. *sigh* ...Just go away.
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: Why won't anyone leave me alone...?
Kohtaro: It's because they're worried about
you.
Emilio: Worried about me? I'm the head of
the House of Stanburke, the noblest
of noble families.
Kohtaro: A kid's a kid.
(Oh man... Gennojo said the same
thing to me before.)
Emilio: What are you smiling at?
Kohtaro: Ah, don't worry about it.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I'm glad to see you regained so
much expression in your face. It
must be because of that boy.
sayo: Uncle...
Emilio: Since you seem to be an
acquaintance of the lady, I'd like
to ask you a question.
Shikou: ...What is it?
Emilio: What did you to do my people?
Shikou: Sayo... I'd like to get reacquainted
with you again, but I can't. You
understand what I mean, don't you?
Sayo: You've come for me...
Emilio: Answer me!
Shikou: If you want your wishes granted,
then fight with all your might.
Emilio: ...It can't be helped. I'd better
apologize to Frau Yuuki now.
I won't go easy!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Well done...
Emilio: Where are my people!?
Shikou: They're dreaming...
-STAGE 3-
Emilio: I don't know what to say to
Frau Yuuki. I give you my apology.
Kohtaro: Hey kid, what are you talking about?
Emilio: ...What do you see about me that's
a kid!?
Kohtaro: Everyhting about you just screams
kid! Anyway, we have no choice but
to defeat people who do bad things.
And you don't have to apologize.
If you're going to apologize,
don't do it in the first place.
Emilio: That's not very noble.
The lady you're with is in sorrow
right now!
Kohtaro: Yeah.
Emilio: Ugh! You're a cold-hearted villain!
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A prickly wind is blowing.
Two friends shouldn't fight.
Emilio: I'm not his friend! Not with such a
cold-hearted villain!
Kohtaro: I don't have a clueless little kid
for a friend either!
Emilio: You're a kid too!
Freedom: Oh my, I guess it can't be helped.
But if you don't work together,
it won't be easy to defeat me.
Kohtaro/Emilio: You're an enemy?
Sayo: (These two are very similar.
I wonder if Kohtaro was like this
when he was younger...?)
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Get along all of you.
Sayo: (What a strange person...)
So anyway.
Emilio: What is it?
Sayo: Count, Kohtaro has fought his
brother before.
So... um, I don't know if I can say
this right, but try and understand
him.
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: ...(Rrah!)
Kohtaro: Ouch! You kicked me.
Are you royalty or what?
Emilio: I'm just a kid after all.
Kohtaro: If you have something to say, come
right out and say it.
Emilio: You should be kinder to ladies.
Kohtaro: What, you went all-out back there
too...
Emilio: No, I'm not talking about her!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Master Kohtaro, I can't say much,
but you should leave this castle as
soon as you can.
Kohtaro: I can't listen to you and just leave
when there are so many people
missing.
Kagachi: Even though they aren't dead?
Kohtaro: Of course not!
Kagachi: Then I'll just have to make you
leave by force!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: If you would have been defeated,
everybody would have been happy...
Kohtaro: Are there people like this kid
worrying and waiting for their
families to come home inside there?
I don't think so.
Bad guys are always narrow-sighted.
-STAGE 5-
Sayo: Aren't you tired?
Kohtaro: If you've taken Sazae's place, you
already know, don't you?
Sayo: ...I just thought I'd ask.
I'm not that person, you know.
Wh-What are you doing!?
Kohtaro: ...Thanks, Sayo.
Emilio: (There must be something wrong with
my vision. This guy is starting to
look cool. It must be my vision.)
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
So how have you been, Koh?
Kohtaro: ...
Tsukiko: Aren't you surprised?
Kohtaro: I'm surprised as well as sad.
But you know the routine...
Tsukiko: Yes, I know.
Kohtaro: Hey, villain! What did you do to
the people of this country!?
Now, you only have two choices!
A. Get arrested and then beaten up.
B. Get beaten up and then arrested.
Which will it be, Tsukiko!?
Tsukiko: I'll defeat you and then dream with
you. Forever.
Kohtaro: Then it's B!
Let's go!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: It's not over yet...
Kohtaro: Idiot!
Why did you do this!?
Tsukiko: You would never understand, Koh.
Not you, who is as pure as the light
of the sun.
-ENDING-
Emilio: The castle is disappearing.
Kohtaro: ...Looks like everyone's awake.
Let's go home, Sayo, Emilio.
Sayo: ...Okay.
Emilio realized that he was a child
that knew nothing when he looked at
the side of Kohtaro's face.
Sayo leaned towards Kohtaro as if to
protect him.

--A3. Kohtaro + Fumiko------------------------------------------------(ko+fu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Fumiko: It's been a while since we've been
on a date like this.
Kohtaro: Huh?
...Hey, what are you talking about?
Fumiko: Let's just have fun today, just the
two of us.
Sayo: ...You're totally ignoring the fact
that I'm here, aren't you?
Fumiko: Oh, aren't you just a shikigami?
A shikigami is like an accessory.
I don't care what kind of accessory
a man has on.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Am I going to make it to the castle
safely like this?
-STAGE 1-
Kohtaro: That must be the Swan Castle.
Fumiko: Yes, according to Munchausen,
everyone's supposed to be here.
Hmhm.
But it's been a while since we've
been on a date like this.
Kohtaro: Huh?
...Hey, what are you talking about?
Fumiko: Let's just have fun today, just the
two of us.
Sayo: ...You're totally ignoring the fact
that I'm here, aren't you?
Fumiko: Oh, aren't you just a shikigami?
A shikigami is like an accessory.
Ahahaha.
I don't care what kind of accessory
a man has on.
Sayo: ...
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: She's popular and her popularity is
continuing to rise...
Fumiko: And quickly descending.
Yukari: No! ...Hey, what are you doing here,
unworthy of this proper videogame!?
Fumiko: Don't mind us. We'll be done in
about 25 minutes.
Kohtaro: H-hey, Fumiko, wait! Time-out!
Time-out!
Sayo: Stop it right now, you slutty witch!
Yukari: Ah, there are three people in this
two-player game!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: This is messed up!
Fumiko: I know.
Sayo: You're the one's that's messed up.
-STAGE 2-
Fumiko: You're a lot of talk for someone
that's also clinging to Kohtaro.
Sayo: This is... nourishment.
A shikigami gets her spirit energy
from its spellcaster, so...
Fumiko: Huh? Why are you talking so quietly?
Kohtaro: Fumiko... Don't pick on her so much.
Fumiko: I'm not picking on her.
...But if you say so, I guess I have
no choice... I'll stop.
Sayo: What are you doing!?
Fumiko: Oh, the same as you.
I'm getting nourishment.
Kohtaro: Ugh... I can't move...
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Kohtaro: *pant* *pant* *pant*
I almost died in a different sense.
Shikou: Good of you to make it... And I'm
glad to see you gained back so much
expression.
Sayo: ...Uncle?
Fumiko: ...Something's strange.
Munchausen! Analyze this!
Munchausen: Yes, milady. The satellite images
show Master Shikou Mibuya under a
waterfall in in the mountains of Hida.
Fumiko: Thank you.
...This man's a fake.
Shikou: ...Not everything is fake.
Let's go!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Make Sayo Yuuki happy.
Fumiko: I'm sorry, but Kohtaro is mine.
-STAGE 3-
Fumiko: What did he mean by not everything
is fake?
Sayo: The spirit... maybe?
Fumiko: How Japanese...
Can they use such magic in this
country?
Kohtaro: Get off me both of you.
I can't breath! I can't breath!
Fumiko: Don't you think you should get a
little excited in this case?
Kohtaro: I'm not interested.
Fumiko: You don't like women?
Kohtaro: It's not that I don't like them...
I mean, uh, I do like women, but...
Fumiko: Oh, then you don't like shrine
maidens.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: ...It looks like you're still going
around teasing people...
Kohtaro: Who's she?
Sayo: No... I don't really know too many
people...
Fumiko: It's my mother.
Kohtaro/Sayo: Whaaaaaaaaaaat!?
Fumiko: ...What kind of woman do you think
I am? ...Hmm, this one's fake too.
I already killed her in the past.
Freedom: Why do you have such a bad
personality when it comes to men?
You always want someone else's man.
Kohtaro/Sayo: Oh.
Fumiko: What are you all in agreement for?
You're an irritating ghost.
Why don't you die one more time!?
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Tch...
Fumiko: Shut up and die.
-STAGE 4-
Sayo: ...K-Kohtaro just might not like
witches.
Fumiko: There's no way. I've never seen him
seriously reject me.
Sayo: Reject her more seriously...!
Kohtaro: ...Hey.
Can't you tell that she's teasing
you?
Fumiko: Oh, but not everything is a lie.
...Hmm, so that's it.
Kohtaro: What?
Fumiko: I think I've solved this incident.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Master Kohtaro.
Lady Tsukiko is saddened by you.
Kohtaro: You know Tsukiko!?
Kagachi: I've been staying with her.
Fumiko: ...
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Why is everyone silent?
Fumiko: Oh, it seems like a good
opportunity.
Sayo: Take this time to get scolded.
Kohtaro: I haven't done anything wrong!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Fumiko: You cheating bastard!
Kohtaro: I don't deserve this!
-STAGE 5-
Kohtaro: *angry*
Fumiko: Wow, he's angry.
Sayo: Yes, he is.
Kohtaro: I told you! I'm not interested!
Fumiko: What's the matter with you anyway?
You like women, don't you?
Kohtaro: ...Uh... Well... Argh. Why are we
talking about this again!?
What's with this castle anyway!?
Fumiko: This castle takes your memories an
materializes them. so we see people
we care for, but don't want to see.
It doesn't seem malicious, but this magic
is in bad taste. The captives
are imprisoned in their own dreams.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare...
Kohtaro: ...
Fumiko: So this is Tsukiko.
Sayo: How do you know?
Fumiko: Because Kohtaro's magic is the
strongest. His thoughts should be
the one that's projected.
Tsukiko: Do you remember when you said you
would make me your wife?
Kohtaro: ...I haven't forgotten.
Both my older brother and I.
Tsukiko: Then what are you doing here?
Die!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: A hammer... to the cheating bastard.
Fumiko: We can't disagree with that.
Kohtaro: I'm not!

Kohtaro: ...Looks like... it's over.
Fumiko: I see. I thought the shrine maiden
was your favorite, but it looks like
I have to correct my hit list.
Sayo: (So he does have feelings for
her...)
Kohtaro: ...That was the worst nightmare.
Fumiko: What are you saying?
Kohtaro: Huh?
Fumiko: Your worst nightmare is just about
to begin.
Kohtaro: Wh-What do you mean!? Aahh!
Fumiko: Hold it!
Hey, you go after him too.
Sayo: But, I'm already...
Fumiko: Then you might as well give up.
Later!
Sayo is left by herself, alone.
She thinks for a while,
and then goes after them.

-PROLOGUE-
Roger: (The relaionshp between those two
has been a little suspicious
lately.)
Reika: Ahh, a mission. A secret mission.
My salary will decrease again.
Roger: ...Serving in the court seems tough.
Reika: Thank you, Mr. Ninja.
Oooggghhhh.
The director gave me terrible
orders, and I have to stop Kohtaro
from kissing a girl.
Roger: What?
Reika: What kind of secret mission is
that?
Roger: Excuse me, I've got some pressing
business. I'll help you on your
secret mission with super-speed.
-STAGE 1-
Kohtaro: Let's go, Sayo.
Sayo: Okay.
Roger: (The relaionshp between those two
has been a little suspicious
lately.)
(I'm going to interfere no matter
what.)
Kohtaro: You look enthusiastic as always,
Roger.
Roger: It's for a friend.
Kohtaro: You're a good guy.
Roger: *Eyes shine bright*
Cha-ching!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Bad idea for a date spot. Boyfriend-
less old me is gonne give you a
beating you'll never forget.
Roger: This isn't a date!
It definitely is not!
Kohtaro: Th-That's right.
Sayo: ...
(Sayo stares down at the ground.)
Roger: Gawddamn! I'm feeling really good
tonight! I'm going to slice you up
with my shuriken!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why do you hate people so much!?
Roger: I hate love and not people!
-STAGE 2-
Kohtaro: Come to think of it, Reika-chan
said...
Sayo: Why is Reika the only one you call
"-chan"?
Kohtaro: Uh, well, it suits her.
Roger: That's enough! And what did Reika
Say? (I won't allow a love comedy!)
Kohtaro: Huh? Oh, Reika-chan.
She said you were kind.
I'm happy for you, man.
Roger: (That's a nice smile.
But Koh, forgive me. I, I...!)
Sayo: Y-you don't have to cry.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: If you are unhappy, come back
whenever you want. You can't gain
happiness with that man anyway.
Sayo: Uncle...
Kohtaro: (Ng...)
Roger: (That's it! Keep going. Come on!)
Sayo: I'm...
Shikou: Time's up. I'm sorry, but there's no
choice but to do battle.
Sayo: Okay...
Roger: Wait a minute! Don't be hasty!
Her feelings were wavering.
Kohtaro: What are you talking about, you
stupid ninja!?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: It huuuuurrrts! Waaaaah!
Curse you. *sobs*
Roger: (I'm the one that's cursing you!)
-STAGE 3-
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Uh, um, I don't really know what to
say.
Roger: Alright!
Kohtaro: Hey.
Sayo: That was strange. I think that he
might have been fake.
We don't feel pain.
And we also don't hold grudges.
We're just raised that way...
Kohtaro: Is a fake even possible? No, it is
possible, for someone like Fumiko
or someone with similar powers.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A burning wind is blowing.
What are you so eager about?
Roger: A ninja's got his issues too.
Kohtaro: Is something wrong? Why don't you
tell me about it...?
Roger: Uh, well, it's nothing really.
Kohtaro: Whenever you're trying to hide
something you always scratch your
butt.
Roger: Wh-What are you talking about? Oh!
Hey, that beautiful woman there is
the boss. Let's defeat her. Go, go!
Freedom: Hmhm.
Don't give him such a hard time.
Now, let's fight.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: That was a good fight.
Kohtaro: She's a refreshing person.
Roger: Mmhm, she's a good woman.
Sayo: (Mmph...)
-STAGE 4-
Sayo: You two are both too indiscreet.
Kohtaro: This is going to take a while when
Sayo-tan gets like this.
Roger: Is it really?
Sayo: Stop whispering to each other!
Roger: (This is good. At this rate, I can
be Kohtaro's "good friend" and
separate those two, and... and...)
And get Kohtaro in my hands!
Sayo: ...You're talking out loud.
Roger: Oh crap!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Master Kohtaro. Master Roy.
Lady Tsukiko is saddened by you...
Roger: What do you think?
Kohtaro: This isn't possible.
Roger: You're right.
Sayo: What are you talking about?
Kohtaro: She may get angry from time to time,
but she never gets sad... Never.
Roger: And she would never have anyone say
that for her. This enemy is very
unfortunate.
Kohtaro: This guy is going to pay for using her
name like that.
Roger: Let's arrest him and kick his ass.
Kohtaro: Or kick his ass and then arrest him.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Not everything... is a lie...
Sayo: (Tsukiko is the girl at the
hospital...)
-STAGE 5-
Sayo: Um... Is Tsukiko...
Roger: They're childhood friends.
She's like an older sister to
Kohtaro.
Kohtaro: I'm older.
But anyway...
Roger: (He always tries to change the
subject when it comes to Tsukiko.)
Kohtaro: What's this about getting me in
your hands?
Roger: Agh! Uh,well, I thought you'd like
to shake hands.
Sayo: Really?
Kohtaro: What a weird guy.
Here, how's this?
Roger: (I'm so glad these two are such
pure and innocent-minded people.)
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Koh! Roy!
Roger: ...Koh.
Kohtaro: I know.
You might be an impostor.
Tsukiko: But I might be the real thing you
know.
Kohtaro: Heh, the way you said that sounds
like the real thing. But there are
other ways to find out!
Question: Who promised to marry you?
Me or my older brother?
Tsukiko: Grandfather chose your older brother
Shin. But you and I promised each
other when we were little.
Roger: That's a funny story.
Kohtaro: You're an impostor.
Tsukiko: Huh? But I answered correctly...
Roger: She would never say that.
Kohtaro: She'd have said she forgot, then
teased me. You can read my memories,
but you can't imitate her actions!
Tsukiko: Tch!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Kohtaro: Is it over?
Roger: No, not yet.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Roger: That was an irritating enemy.
Kohtaro: Yeah.
Sayo: (Tsukiko is adored so much...)
(Oh no... I'm going to cry...)
Kohtaro: Why are you crying?
Roger: (...Kohtaro has no tact...)
But this is good for me! I should
just stand firm for Kohtaro's sake!
Kohtaro: What in the world are you talking
about, stupid?
Roger: Iono!
Kohtaro: ...Come on, there's nothing to cry
about. Stop crying.
Sayo: ...Wh-What was that for?
Kohtaro: It's a charm. When you put your lips
on someone's forehead, they stop
crying. Chibi (Fumiko) said so.
Roger: Noooo! I must defeat her first!

--A5. Kohtaro + Gennojo-----------------------------------------------(ko+ge)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Gennojo: A desttuctive beauty.
Kohtaro: ...
Gennojo: You still have feelings for that
girl, don't you?
As Kohtaro began to speak, Sayo
covered her ears. She didn't want to
hear it.
-STAGE 1-
Gennojo: So that's the Swan Castle. I gotta
say, my life seems to involve a lot
of castles. ...At any rate.
Sayo: What is it?
Gennojo: What's with the hand-holding?
Young kids have no shame these days.
Kohtaro: If I don't do this from time to
time, this chick's magic runs out!
Sayo: It's spirit energy...
Kohtaro: Huh? What?
Sayo: You called me a chick again.
Gennojo: Ugh, this is too much.
We're not here on a picnic, you
know.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: So you came! The lovey-dovey couple
and the father-in-law.
Kohtaro: N-No, we're not!
Sayo: You're mistaken!
Gennojo: ...It's the lovey-dovey and
a passerby, stupid.
Yukari: You might be able to fool others,
but you can't fool me! Know why!?
'Cuz I hate things like that!
I don't have a boyfriend right now,
so I'm gonna eliminate lovey-dovey
couples no matter what!
Kohtaro: Wah, they're pissed!
Gennojo: ...I'm not objecting for the same
reason she is. Don't categorize me
with her.
Yukari: Shut up!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I want... a boyfriend...!
Gennojo: Just get out of here.
...What Yukari was that?
Was it the one from the flower shop?
-STAGE 2-
Kohtaro: ...Is anywhere too tight?
Sayo: No... I'm fine.
Kohtaro: What?
Is there something on my face?
Sayo: No... I'm sorry.
Gennojo: Woohoo.
Ah, I can't take this.
Kohtaro: Got a problem, old man?
Gennojo: ...Don't group me with Yukari.
I'm more concerned about how a man
should act. Anyway, let's get going.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I'm relieved to see you look
happy.
Sayo: ...Uncle.
Shikou: But, I don't agree with you being
so intimate in public.
Gennojo: Right? I mean, I was thinking the
same thing.
Shikou: So I wanted to give you a challenge.
If you want to stay with him, then
defeat me!
Gennojo: Isn't that a bit too harsh?
Whoa! What are yo doing!?
Shikou: That goes for you to!
Gennojo: Ahh! This one's pissed too!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Men are pitiful.
Gennojo: Well, I can't disagree with that.
Kohtaro: What are you talking about?
-STAGE 3-
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Don't make that face.
...I said I'm not doing it because I
want to.
...What?
Sayo: ...It's nothing. I'm sorry.
You're right.
...You're right.
Gennojo: ...Hey, Kohtaro.
Come here a bit.
Kohtaro: What is it?
Gennojo: Hey.
...Are you really clueless?
Kohtaro: About what?
Gennojo: Don't be smug.
...I'm starting to feel sorry for
you.
Kohtaro: What are you talking about?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A weak and erratic wind is blowing.
But it's okay. You're a magic weapon
so raise your head. You are loved.
It's just your companion is
hopelessly clumsy.
Kohtaro: Who are you?
Freedom: The enemy that defends this place.
Kohtaro: ...
Gennojo: Thanks for the info.
Kohtaro: Are you sure it's okay to punch
someone like her?
Gennojo: It's part of the job. She must be
tired of being the bad guy. Let's
just make it not hurt too much.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Sayo: ..Am I really loved?
Freedom: ...Who knows?
But, hang in there.
-STAGE 4-
Kohtaro: What were you talking to the enemy
about?
Sayo: ...It's... nothing.
Gennojo: ...Yeah, don't worry about it.
I think what that woman said was
correct.
Sayo: ...Do you think so?
Gennojo: Yeah.
Though, I'm not sure why you would
want Kohtaro.
Kohtaro: ?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...Master Kohtaro.
Lady Tsukiko is saddened by you.
Kohtaro: You know Tsukiko?
Kagachi: I know her well.
...Though she may not say it,
Lady Tsukiko is waiting for you.
Sayo: (...Is Tsukiko that person in the
hospital...?)
Kagachi: So now...
It's time for your punishment,
Master Kohtaro.
I'll pulverize that woman and
eliminate your anxieties about the
future!
Kohtaro: Stop!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Lady Tsukiko...
Gennojo: This stinks.
Kohtaro: Haven't you taken a bath?
Gennojo: That's not what I mean.
-STAGE 5-
Sayo: Tsukiko is very important to you,
isn't she?
Kohtaro: ...Yeah.
Sayo: Then...
Why did you protect me?
...Why?
Kohtaro: What do you mean why?
Did you want to get punished?
Ugh, I don't understand what you're
saying! Uh... Stop crying. I said
stop. ...Sorry.
Gennojo: The stud's got problems.
I'll watch your back... so go work it
out.
Kohtaro: Wait a minute, old man.
...Uh, so anyway... what stinks?
Gennojo: Presence. The presence of people.
I sense less presence than Anolegos,
who was a ghost...
Hey, maybe someone as powerful as
Fumiko could cover this castle with
an illusion.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Koh, is that the girlfriend you said
you would introduce me to one day?
Kohtaro: Tsukiko...
Sayo: (...So this is her...)
Tsukiko: I'm happy for you.
Kohtaro: Y-You're wrong!
Tsukiko: Really?
Kohtaro: She's...
As Kohtaro began to speak, Sayo
covered her ears. She didn't want to
hear it.
Gennojo: Why are you going along with this
farce? Kohtaro, Miss Yuuki, wake up.
Kohtaro, is the Tsukiko you know
capable of coming to this place?
Did you tell her your plans?
Kohtaro: ...N-No, I didn't.
I was dragged here all of a sudden.
Gennojo: There's no way a person you called
overseas could be here. If you
understand, fight. Don't hesitate.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Not everything is a lie...
Gennojo: But the most important part it.
This is just a distasteful castle
that is meant to show nightmares.
I don't know who unleashed this,
but I'm going to have to destroy it.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
As he watched the crumbling castle,
Gennojo lit a cigarette when he
realized has was trying to quit.
Gennojo: A destructive beauty.
Kohtaro: ...
Gennojo: Even it wasn't real, it upset you
to hurt Tsukiko, right? But you have
feelings for that girl, don't you?
Kohtaro: ...Yeah.
Gennojo: Then let's just leave it at that.
Look, Miss Yuuki looks worried. Try
to act bold. You're a man, right?
That's what being a man is all
about.

-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: Damned lovey-dovey couple!
Kohtaro: Ugh, she's strong!
Sayo: What is a lovey-dovey couple?
Mihee: (Don't show off just because I'm
single...)
Oh my, what's doing to happen next?
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: I can accept going to the castle.
And I don't know why, but I can also
accept that I'm going... But!
Kohtaro: ?
Sayo: What is it?
Mihee: Why are you two coming!?
Kohtaro: It's nothing to shed tears of blood
about.
Mihee: This is not fun!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: There you are, stupid couple.
Kohtaro: N-No, we're not!
Sayo: You're mistaken!
Mihee: That's right!
Yukari: You might be able to fool others,</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
but you can't fool me! Know why!?
'Cuz I hate things like that!
I don't have a boyfriend right now,
so I'm gonna eliminate lovey-dovey
couples no matter what!
Mihee: You go, girl! Give 'em hell!
Kohtaro: Wah, we have another enemy!
Yukari: I'm gonna kick your ass to high
heaven!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I want... a boyfriend...!
Mihee: I hate men!
-STAGE 2-
Sayo: Um, we're not in that kind of
relationship...
Kohtaro: Y-Yeah, that's right.
Mihee: Then... Why are you holding hands?
Sayo: Huh? Ah!
...Uh, it's for nourishment.
Kohtaro: It's subconscious.
Mihee: That's even worse!
I know! There's an evil organization
that mass-produces lovey-dovey
couples! I'll destroy them all!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I'm glad you made it... And I'm
happy to see you've regained so much
expression in your face.
Sayo: Uncle...?
Mihee: So it's you!
Shikou: Huuuh!?
Mihee: It's because there are people like
that I can't gain happiness.
Kohtaro: Wow, what a powerful ally!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Mihee: Love! I don't need love!
Sayo: You don't have to shed tears of
blood.
-STAGE 3-
Kohtaro: ....Boy, she's a mess.
Sayo: I-I agree.
Mihee: Hey!
What's with the lovey-dovey aura!?
Kohtaro: Huh?
We're just...
Mihee: Shut up! Damn it! Damn it!
You're so smug because I'm not
popular with men!
Kohtaro: ...Well, I guess she's acting kinda
immature, but it's kinda cute.
Sayo: ...Huh?
Kohtaro: What?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: ...We haven't fought yet, but you
already look beat-up.
Kohtaro: I don't know why, but a violent
woman just beat me up.
Sayo: I wouldn't know about it.
Mihee: That's how lovey-dovey couples
should end up. Ahahahha.
Just always prevails!
Freedom: Regardless of justice, couples are
nice, aren't they...? I'm envious,
so I'm going to take you guys down.
Kohtaro: Uwaaah, it's another weird person
here!
Mihee: I know! I know how you feel!
Kohtaro: Uhhhhhh...
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I guess unpopular people aren't
allowed to live!
Kohtaro: No, that's not true.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: There's definitely an evil syndicate
that produces lovey-dovey couples!
Damn you, Gargam (Tentative Name)!
Kohtaro: ...
Mihee: So this must be all Gargam's
(Tentatve Name) doing! I'm going to
fight until the day I defeat you!
Kohtaro: I think you'd be popular even if you
didn't do that, Li'l Miss Kim.
Mihee: ...
Do you think you've won with that,
Gargam's henchman?
Kohtaro: Huh?
Mihee: I won't be consoled by a lovey-dovey
couple! I'm going to cry!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You're alone.
Now and forever.
You'll always be alone.
Mihee: ...You're alone too!
Kagachi: How do you know!?
Mihee: It's written all over your f-Aaah!
Stop! Lay a hand on me and you'll
cause an international incident.
Sayo: What you just said is an incident.
Kohtaro: Calm down now.
Kagachi: Hmph, it seems I have one up on
you since I'm more lonely than you.
I don't even have a friend.
Kohtaro: I'm not sure if they're lonely or
just sad.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Why!? Why did I lose!?
Mihee: I just felt more like a leftover
than you. ...That's all.
Kagachi: I see!
Mihee: Don't agree with me!
-STAGE 5-
Kohtaro: (Hey, Sayo, why isn't Li'l Miss Kim
popular?)
Sayo: (H-How should I know? You should
have a better understanding of
things like that, Kohtaro.)
Kohtaro: (Huh, why?)
Sayo: ...Because you're always talking to
different women.
Kohtaro: I was just shopping at the
convenience store.
Mihee: Damn Gargam (Tentative Name)...!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
Kohtaro: Tsukiko?
Tsukiko: Long time no see, Koh!
Mihee: It's a nightmare.
I don't even have a boyfriend, and
I'm faced with a love triangle...
Tsukiko: Who's this old lady?
Mihee: What!?
Damn Gargam (Tentative Name)...!
Tsukiko: What a funny old lady.
*chuckle*
Mihee: What did you say!?
Kohtaro: H-Hey, stop it!
Mihee: I'll destroy Gargam, myself!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Impressive...
You discovered my true identity...
Kohtaro: An impostor!?
Mihee: What!?
Tsukiko: ...Hey.
Why did you attack?
Mihee: ...Because you're Gargam?
Tsukiko: What's that about?
Kohtaro: No clue.
Tsukiko: ...Never mind.
Let reality crush you!
-ENDING-
Sayo: It's over...
Kohtaro: It was an awful battle. ...Li'l Miss
Kim, you're really beautiful, so you
shouldn't worry so much.
Mihee: But, I don't think that that was the
last of Gargam. There must be a HQ
somewhere. I must destroy it.
Kohtaro: She's not listening.
Be careful, all you couples out
there, Mihee Kim might be standing
right behind you.

Nagino: Papa!
Kohtaro: ...Huh?
Nagino: Mama!
Sayo: ...?
Nagino: That's the Swan Castle! Let's go!
Kohtaro: I hope she doesn't think she's on a
picnic.
-STAGE 1-
Sayo: Um, what does that mean when she
calls us Papa and Mama?
Kohtaro: Huh? Don't you know?
Sayo: Well excuse me for being ignorant!
Kohtaro: ...She means father and mother.
Sayo: Huh?
Nagino: What's the matter!?
Let's go already.
Kohtaro: Okay. Okay.
Don't pull my sleeve.
Nagino: Heheheh, I'm so happy.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: ...Why has a family come to a place
like this? Hey, do you know what
this is? It's a mysterious castle!
Kohtaro: And who are you?
Yukari: The part-timer.
Kohtaro: ...
Sayo: Ah, I've worked part-time before
also. It's so hard working the cash
register.
Kohtaro: I think I'm getting a headache.
Nagino: There, there.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awwwwwww.
I want some more game time!
Kohtaro: Hey!
Yukari: And a boyfriend!
Kohtaro: ...This is no good.
-STAGE 2-
Nagino: Papa, Mama, let's hurry.
I'm tired of looking at this place.
Sayo: Father and mother... According to
Fumiko, it's when a man and a woman
go all the way...
Kohtaro: Don't believe everything she says.
The world will end up getting
annihilated.
Sayo: Why?
Kohtaro: A population explosion.
Don't ask me anything more.
Nagino: Papa?
Kohtaro: Don't look so worried.
Hey, let's go.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...Sayo Yuuki.
Sayo: Uncle... Mibuya?
Shikou: I knew you fled the village, but I
never imagined you would bear a
child!
Kohtaro: She didn't!
Shikou: Isn't it a bit too early?
Kohtaro: I said she didn't!
Nagino: Yeah, she didn't make a child.
It was an accident.
Kohtaro: Ugh! This conversation is useless!
Shikou: If you've gone that far, it can't
be helped. I'll forgive you about Sayo,
but I must test your strength!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: So, this is the power of love...
Kohtaro: Damn, he's still in his own little
world.
Sayo: ...Does it hurt?
Shikou: No, I'm a ghost after all.
Kohtaro: Then move on already!
Shikou: Come by and bring my grandchild...
-STAGE 3-
Kohtaro: Dammit! I've never even been married
or done anything yet! Was it a
stork!? Did a stork do this to me?
Nagino: Am I not supposed to be here?
Kohtaro: Stupid, what are you saying?
There's nothing in this world that
shouldn't be here.
Nagino: Uh-huh, that's the papa I love.
Kohtaro: ...Heheh.
Sayo: (Oh, no... He's excessively nice to
children...)
(Is this my new... rival? But what
does rival mean?)
Nagino: Mama, why are you making fist?
Kohtaro: Is it just me, or is this going to
be about something stupid again?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: ...Lady Mirai... Once again...
You picked up a father and a mother.
Nagino: What are you talking about?
This is necessary for the proper
upbringing of a child.
Kohtaro: What am I, a dog? Uh... never mind.
What's with you? Are you pulling
this stunt elsewhere too?
Nagino: No, this time it's different.
I've hit the jackpot with this papa.
Kohtaro: Am I the winning numbers in a
lottery now?
Sayo: Would you mind including me and
saying we?
Freedom: At any rate, let's just leave this
at that. I'm the boss of this stage,
so I'm going to attack you now.
Sayo: Ah, yes, please do.
Kohtaro: A headache. I've got a headache...
This is serious. It feels pretty
bad.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Be back by dinner time...
Kohtaro: Hey, do you know her?
Nagino: Uh-uh, I don't.
She was on a roll, so I decided to
go along with it.
I think she has me mistaken with
someone else.
-STAGE 4-
Kohtaro: Hey now, I can understand Nagi
pulling on my sleeve, but why are
you also pulling on it, Sayo?
Sayo: ...No reason.
Nagino: ...Mama's lonely too.
Kohtaro: ...R-R-Really?
Sayo: Hey, don't look at me like that.
...I'm not. I'm not I say!
Kohtaro: ...Well, uh, um.
Uh, I don't mind.
Sayo: (Huh? He's...)
Nagino: He's feeling embarrassed, Mama.
He kind of likes it.
Sayo: Is that true?
Nagino: Uh-huh, Papa's shy after all.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...Master Kohtaro...
Lady Tsukiko is crying because of
you.
Nagino: Is that Papa's mistress?
Kohtaro: No! Where did you learn that word!?
Sayo: Three's company...
Kohtaro: That's a rerun!
Kagachi: Lady Tsukiko is the true wife.
The one over there is the mistress.
Kohtaro: Ugh, I'm tired.
Who are you anyway?
Kagachi: I'm in no position to give my name,
but I consider myself Lady Tsukiko's
loyal subject. Just call me Kagachi.
Kohtaro: That's probably your full name,
isn't it? ...Fine. I just have to
fight you, don't I?
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: If possible, I'd just like to be a
guard dog in a warm house...
Nagino: Won't it be hot in the summer?
Kagachi: In the summer, I'll be an indoor
wolf...!
Kohtaro: That's not a guard dog.
-STAGE 5-
Kohtaro, you're very shy.
Kohtaro: *cough*
Hey... Are you entertaining yourself
by teasing me?
Sayo: Uh, no. Well, not at all...
Ah, butI thought it was kind of
sweet, K-Kohtaro.
Kioh: ...I thought I was gonna fall over.
Nagino: There, there.
Kohtaro: What kind of incident is this
anyway?
Nagino: I think this castle reacts to our
moods. I think the people of this
castle move by magic.
Kohtaro: Ohhh, how do you know that?
Nagino: Fumiko taught me.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: ...You traitor...
Kohtaro: What do you mean traitor?
Wait a minute! Whay are you here!?
Tsukiko: You cheating bastard...
Kohtaro: Uggh! My chest hurts!
Is this a curse!?
Nagino: That's just your conscience. But
that's no good, Papa. That mistress
is an impostor created by magic.
Kohtaro: Huh, really?
Nagino: Uh-huh. All the people we've seen
so far are also the same.
Tsukiko: I'm not an impostor.
I'm a truly realistic... CG.
Kohtaro: You are an impostor! Now that I know
that, I won't hold back! How dare
you impersonate Tsukiko!
Tsukiko: Oh, this is kind of good.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Sayo: That's some really good CG...
Kohtaro: Forget about that stuff already.
Sayo: ...
Nagino: (*sigh* Mama's depressed.)
Tsukiko: And this... is my real form.
-ENDING-
Kohtaro: I'm tired...
Sayo: ...
Nagino: Mama, cheer up.
Papa says that he's in love with
Mama.
Sayo: Huh?
Nagino: I just asked him. (It's okay to lie
a little. Their relationship seems
like it won't progress if I don't.)
Sayo: I-Is it true?
Nagino: Uh-huh.
So let's all go home together.
Nagino Ise thought for a bit, then
decided to stay in this world a
little longer.

-PROLOGUE-
Fumiko: Understand?
Stop them no matter what.
Reika: Raja! I mean roger!
...Huh?
But Chief, won't there be a scandal
if the History Security Police
change history?
Fumiko: Oh, it'll be okay if it's you.
You'll be fired soon anyway.
Be useful to be before you go.
Reika: Y-You're so mean!
Fumiko: Quit your blabbing and get going!
Reika: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
-STAGE 1-
Reika: ...So, anyway.
Kohtaro: What's going on?
Reika: I'm here to break up the
relationship between you two!
Sayo: Wha... Y-You're mistaken. He and I
aren't in that kind of releationship.
(Someone else is in his heart...)
Kohtaro: Th-That's right! Sayo and I aren't
like that all. (I've never been
popular with women before.)
Reika: Oh, this is going to be a big
success!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Reika: Lalalaaa, lalalalaaa.
Yukari: Whay are you so happy about?
Oh, did meeting me, the boss of this
stage, scare you enough to go
insane!?
Kohtaro: That'll never happen.
Yukari: Oh, did you become a bit more
handsome since the last time I saw
you?
Kohtaro: Oh, you think so?
Sayo: (Grr!)
Reika: Ah, I think I'm going to succeed in
this mission! I think Reika might be
better suited as a time criminal.
And next week, I might even be
Reika the time fugitive.
Sayo: Everyone here is naughty!
Let's fight!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I felt like I could win today!
Kohtaro: Has she been losing that much?
-STAGE 2-
Kohtaro: What was her name again?
Reika: Lessee~
Yukari Horiguchi.
Kohtaro: Oh, that's a cute name.
Though she is a villain.
Sayo: (Grrrr!)
Kohtaro: I don't know anyone around me like
that.
Sayo: (Grrrrrr!)
Kohtaro: Hmm? What?
Sayo: If you like so much, why don't
you just marry her?
Kohtaro: Whaa?
Sayo: (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: If you are unhappy, come back
whenever you want. You can't gain
happiness with that man anyway.
Sayo: Uncle...
Kohtaro: (Hmph...)
Reika: Yeah, go back!
Woohoo, yaay!
...But what's this?
A 3D holomode?
...At a time like this?
Kohtaro: What's that?
Reika: From this time period, it's an
object from a faraway future or
faraway past. Reika knows a lot.
Kohtaro: I see. So it's bad, right?
I'll pulverize it!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Come home whenever you want.
Kohtaro: Yeah, yeah, get out of here already!
-STAGE 3-
Sayo: ...Why did you attack my uncle.
Kohtaro: Because he was in impostor.
Sayo: I know that!
But... you would never understand,
would you? You're always surrounded
by people.
Kohtaro: Uh, wait a minute...
Reika: (Aww, it lookes like this mission
is gonna succeed, but Reika feels
really bad about it.)
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: Don't fight.
Shame on you.
Reika: Yeah, that's right!
Woohoo, yaaay!
Kohtaro: Wah, she's saying something
completely different now!
Wait, who are you anyway!?
Freedom: A wonderful ol... I mean, a young
lady who can read your heart.
Reika: Ugh, Reika can't be a bad person.
Kohtaro/Sayo: ...
Freedom: ...I'm the boss of this stage...
Ah, but the both of you are so fond
of each other.
Kohtaro/Sayo: Huh!?
Ah, no, what're you...
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Perhaps I'm not suited to be a
boss...
Reika: Ugghh, Reika isn't suited to being a
bad person either.
-STAGE 4-
Sayo: (Could this be...)
Kohtaro: (There's no way she...)
Reika: Awwww. If I lose my rank any more,
I'll be two ranks lower than a
police cat. Aw maaaan.
Sayo: Uh, uhhhhhhhhh, um!
Kohtaro: Wh-Wh-What is it!?
Reika: Waaaaaaaaah.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Why are you crying?
Reika: My job isn't going well, my boss is
terrible, and my salary keeps
getter smaller.
Kagachi: I see... So human society is also
hard. Hey, why are you two looking
into each other's eyes?
Sayo: Huh?
Kohtaro: Ah? Uh, wha?
Kagachi: Your friends are lovey-dovey.
I understand. I'll end their
suffering.
Reika: Huh? Really?
Kagachi: And then I'll eat them.
Reika: *sniffle*
It's the same thing day after day...
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I hope your salary goes up...
Reika: Thank you...
-STAGE 5-
Kohtaro/Sayo: (What should I say...?)
Um...
Sayo: You first...
Kohtaro: No, you go first.
Reika: Ohhhh, they both have feelings
for each other!
I think Reika had better get in gear
and do something or she'll be in
big trouble. Whaddoidowhaddoido?
Ah, I know.
Lesse, I think there was something
in my pink police notepad...
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Koh!
Kohtaro: Tsuki...ko?
Reika: That's it! That CG is great!
Let's hurry and break those two up
and have Director Fumiko commend me!
Kohtaro: Wha?
Sayo: Eh?
Reika: Buh?
Did Reika do something again?
Sayo: ...Fumiko.
Kohtaro: Fumiko's behind it again.
Tsukiko: Umm, I'm the last boss, you know.
Please... don't ignore me.
Kohtaro: We're not.
I'm gonna take you down right now.
Sayo: You're going to get it this time!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Fine, do whatever you want...
Reika: Aw man... I've made a new record for
the number of failed missions in a
row. I thought I'd succeed for sure.
-ENDING-
Kohtaro: Be careful and watch your step.
Sayo: I will.
Kohtaro: ...We're just getting started.
Sayo: Let's seal away Fumiko for about 100
years this time. It'll be better for
the world.
Reika: Waaaaaaah. (...Buh? They didn't end
up kissing, so does this mean that
Reika succeeded...?)
Huh, did I do it?
Yaaay!
Kohtaro: Look out! Watch your step!
Sayo: Ah!
Reika: ...Oooogghh
Mission failed, Reika.

--A9. Kohtaro + Munchausen--------------------------------------------(ko+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Sayo: My name is Sayo Yuuki. On that day I
died and came back to life, I became
one with Kohtaro's shikigami.
Why did that shikigami save me?
Did the shikigami want to protect
its spellcaster?
Or did it just want a body?
A body that can physically love him.
Munchausen: Master Kohtaro.
Kohtaro: Stop calling me that.
Sayo: My heart feels uneasy when I see how
friendly they are to one another.
Are these my feelings, or...?
I don't know... I just don't know.
-STAGE 1-
Kohtaro: Not another castle again.
Why are bad guys always in castles?
Munchausen: That's just a bias. An exception
based on probability must have
occurred.
Kohtaro: What's that?
Munchausen: Your predecessor taught you.
Magic or evil exists. Right now,
you're attracting evil...
Kohtaro: Are you saing it's my fault?
Munchausen: It depends how yo look at it.
Whether it's magic or not is two
sides of the same coin.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: It's already been predicted that the
world is going to end.
Munchausen: Yes, it is.
But you don't know the rest of the
prediction.
Yukari: What is the rest of it?
Munchausen: The world's end is also the world's
beginning.
Kohtaro: Wow, you sure know a lot.
Sayo: ...What are you so impressed about?
We need to fight.
Kohtaro: I know.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Who's going to start the new world?
Munchausen: His name is Kohtaro Kuga.
Kohtaro: Ohhhh~ ...Wait, me?
Sayo: You really don't know anything,
do you?
-STAGE 2-
Kohtaro: What's this about starting the new
world?
Sayo: You really don't know anything.
Kohtaro: I'm not asking you.
Sayo: I have a name.
Kohtaro: Okay, okay. Sorry, Sayo.
Saayoo. Saaaayooo.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Aw, come on, don't cry...
My bad. I'm sorry.
Munchausen: Hehehe, at any rate, those who use
magic all know more or less that the
world will end and begin again.
That enemy didn't look very good at
fortunetelling though.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Good of you to make it...
And I'm glad you have so much
expression back in your face, Sayo.
Sayo: ...Uncle?
Munchausen: The satellie images show Master
Shikou under a waterfall in the Hida
mountains. This one is a fake.
Shikou: Not everything is fake.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Dammit, you made her cry again!
You're gonna pay!
I'm gonna pulverize you!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Please... make Sayo Yuuki happy.
Munchausen: I'm sure if will be difficult.
Master Kohtaro belongs to Lady
Fumiko.
-STAGE 3-
Kohtaro: Don't cry... stupid.
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: You're such a crybaby...
Come on, don't cry.
Munchausen: ...
Kohtaro: What's going on, Junior?
Munchausen: It appears the enemy uses high
level illusions.
Kohtaro: Did I attaact it as well?
Munchausen: Yes. Everyone is trying to affect
the new world.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A new wind is blowing.
Yes, the new world will be a place
blowing with flower petals.
Isn't that right, eastern wind that
protects the four directions?
The blue who is a deep blue liar.
Munchausen: All must become blue in the face of
the complete blue, milady.
Freedom: Then I shall make a name for myself
like the Arada, who will begin a
dazzling ball a millenia from now.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Kohtaro: Who are you anyway?
Why are you smiling?
Freedom: Because I influenced the new world.
The Arada will be born in the new
world.
-STAGE 4-
Kohtaro: What was she talking abut earlier?
Munchausen: Be it magic or not is two sides of
the same coin. Each is attracted so
the world begins. And vice versa.
Kohtaro: The world begins, so evil is
attracted...?
Munchausen: If you can create someone who
attracts evil, it's the same thing
as beginning the world.
Kohtaro: So you mean if you turn water into
ice, it's still the same cold.
Munchausen: Yes.
Kohtaro: It's a quibble.
...Huh? What? You're grabbing my
sleeve.
Sayo: It's... nothing.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Master Kohtaro.
Lady Tsukiko is saddened by you.
Kohtaro: Wait... you know Tsukiko?
Sayo: (...The girl in the hospital...)
Munchausen: *ahem* Master Kohtaro. I don't think
I need to remind you that the enemy
is using illusions.
Kohtaro: Yeah. What about it?
Munchausen: It's already got you in its grasp.
Kohtaro: Huh, really?
Munchausen: Your shikigami's heart is in chaos.
Fight with a strong heart.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Lady Tsukiko...
Sayo: ...
-STAGE 5-
Kohtaro: Damn. I don't know who the enemy is,
but now I'm pissed. If he lays a
finger on Tsukiko, he's gonna pay!
Sayo: Tsukiko is...
Kohtaro: Hm? What?
Sayo: ...Very fortunate.
Kohtaro: Huuh? What the hell are you--I mean,
she's not fortunate, Sayo. All this
time, she's been sick in a hospital.
She's sick...
Damn it, who is it, Junior!?
Who's my enemy!?
Munchausen: I do not know. It doesn't seem to go
by any set rules.
!! ...Wait, I see.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Is that the person you said you'd
introduce me to someday, Koh?
Kohtaro: Tsukiko...
Sayo: (...So this is her...)
Tsukiko: I'm happy for you.
Congratulations.
Kohtaro: N-No! I'm not sure how it happened,
but my shikigami became this chick
and... and...
Tsukiko: Well, you'd never get a girlfriend
unless something like that happened.
I'm happy. I'm happy for you.
As Kohtaro began to speak,
Sayo covered her ears.
She didn't want to hear it.
Munchausen: Master KOhtaro... I mean you, dense
idiot! You're caught in its spell
again! I told you they're illusions!
Kohtaro: Huh!? Oh, that's right.
Damn it! Of all the people you had
to use, you used Tsukiko!
You're dead meat!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Koh!
Munchausen: Kohtaro, it's not over yet!
Kohtaro: Of course, it isn't!
I'm not done yet! One more time!
You're dead meat!
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Munchausen lowered his glasses as
he watched the crumbling castle.
Munchausen: the beauty of destruction.
Kohtaro: ...What was that thing anyway?
Munchausen: A machine that shows those who
approach it dreams. This time it
was probably nightmares.
Kohtaro: ...Your tone is back to your normal
self.
Munchausen: Huh!? Oh, is that so?
Now where were we?
Hahahaha...
Kohtaro: ...Well, let's.... uh, go home, Sayo.
That Tsukiko-looking fake was a
spell, so don't let it bother you!
Sayo: (....What would you do if I took it
seriously?)
Kohtaro: Huh?
Sayo: I know.
Of course, that was a spell.
Let's go home.

-PROLOGUE-
Batu: The castle that only appears during
a full moon is known as the Swan
Castle.
After a long absence, I, Batu Harai,
returned to my homeland as a
mercenary.
The job didn't pay much, but the
noble young master looked sad.
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: Batu, where are we?
Batu: We're almost at our destination,
your master. We'll arrive soon.
Emilio: So this is the Swan Castle...
Batu: This castle only appears during a
full moon.
Emilio: So my people are here?
Batu: Yes.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand, it's Yukari
Season 2! With a scent of of romance in
the air, I'm sexier than before!
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Batu: Cover your ears, young master.
This woman's words have poison in
them.
Emilio: Thank, Batu, but don't worry.
I know all about the darkness in
this world.
Yukari: I object to any parents or guardians
coming along!
Batu: Quiet!
I am Master Emilio's mercenary.
Yukari: You're so old-school!
People will totally say you're
uncool if you talk like that!
Emilio: Don't talk about my retainer like
that! Have at you!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: How cruel!
Batu: Say no more to the young master with
your venomous words.
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: Thank you, Batu.
You saved me.
Batu: It's my job.
...Don't worry about it.
(...Poor child. If he were born a
commoner, he wouldn't have the demon
inside him...)
Emilio: Let's hurry.
We have to save the citizens.
Batu: Yes, sir.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You seem dignified and accustomed to
giving orders. Are you of royal
upbringing?
Batu: (...Well, this one seems normal.)
He is Emilio, heir to the royal
House of Stanburke.
Emilio: Thank you, Batu, but my father went
into hiding. I am the rightful Count of
Beruna. ...You. Let my people go.
Shikou: I am Shikou Mibuya.
I am usually not permitted to reveal
my name...
But I am pleased to be able to fight
people of such esteem. I have not
harmed your people. Let us battle!
Emilio: Certainly!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Well done! You may proceed!
Emilio: Thank you.
-STAGE 3-
Batu: Let's hurry. The enemy swore the
people weren't harmed, but we can't
be sure.
Emilio: Thank you, Batu.
And, I'm sorry I can't pay you very
much.
Batu: If you really feel that way, why
don't you just take this land?
I'll profit then also.
Emilio: I'll pay you as much as I can.
But... are you telling me to fight
with my cousin, Princess Maako?
Batu: ...Ah, no... I was out of line.
I don't want the young master to be
sad.
But many feel that you are the true
heir, rather than a woman with mixed
blood. Be aware of that.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An old wind.
Sorrowful and stagnant.
Emilio: Are you referring to me?
Batu: Young master, cover your ears.
This woman's words have poison in
them.
Emilio: It's okay, Batu.
You don't have to worry.
...Are you talking about me, woman!?
Freedom: Yes... I am referring to you.
A wind swayed by duty and emotion.
An old wind.
If you could say what you really
feel, you might at least be happy.
Emilio: ...
Batu: Why you!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Remember this...
Remember my words...
Batu: I don't want to see my young
master's face in pain.
Emilio: Batu.
Batu: Yes, sir.
Emilio: I don't hate Princess Maako as much
as my father does.
It's not so bad having a demon
living inside me.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: You seem tired.
Why don't I go on ahead?
Emilio: It's alright. If I don't try my best
now, I'll regret if for the rest of
my life.
Batu: ...Understood.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you father and son?
Batu: How rude! He is the Count of Beruna.
His standing it much higher than a
mercenary like me.
Kagachi: I see. How unfortunate.
Emilio: What do you mean?
Kagachi: You're all alone. Even the only
adult that came with you to this
battlefield tried to abandon you.
Emilio: I'm... I'm royalty.
Everyone expects no less of me.
So I'm alone. What of it?
I'll take it into consideration, but
there's nothing I can do about it.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You should have just died.
It's tormenting to be alone.
Emilio: I can't die without fulfilling my
duty.
-STAGE 5-
Batu: Young master, I did not mean to
abandon you or anything like that.
Emilio: Thank you, Batu. It's okay.
I know how good you are to me.
Batu: I'm a simple mercenary. But even if
I wasn't, and even if you weren't
royalty, I'd still fight for you.
If only...
Emilio: I know, Batu.
You don't have to say anything.
I also... *sigh*
I also dream of not being royalty,
like my father or late brother.
But it's no use.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
So, what do you think of the
nightmares I've shown you?
Emilio: Stop witht he prattle.
Return the citizens.
If not, we'll fight for them.
Tsukiko: Don't worry... They're all just
dreaming. But don't you think it's
better for them to keep dreaming?
Their dreams must be better than
reality.
Batu: Don't make me laugh. If they were
never able to decide that on their
own, there's no meaning.
Tsukiko: I can make the both of you dream
that you are a loving father and
son.
Batu: ...That's...
Emilio: ...Batu, I order you as the Count:
Do your duty!
Batu: If that is your command.
Yessir!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let... reality crush you...
Batu: The young master is not like that.
...What is this?
Emilio: So this is the reality.
Batu, just a little more.
Batu: Understood.
-ENDING-
Emilio: It's over...
Batu: It isn't included in my fee, but
I'll escort you to the palace.
Emilio: No, that's okay.
I don't intend to be praised over
this.
Anyway, would you like to come to my
domain? How about it?
Batu: I am a mercenary.
I have no business staying in a
peaceful land.
Emilio: How about as a friend?
After Batu thought for a while,
he smiled unexpectedly.
Batu: I see. I suppose mercenaries also
need some time to rest.
I will join you.
Emilio: Mmhm.

-PROLOGUE-
Batu: We're not going to a ball ur
anything. Why are we paired
together, male and female?
Fumiko: I know.
Batu: Is anyone even going to play
with this combination.
Fumiko: I know.
Batu: ...I'm starting to feel lonely.
Fumiko: I know.
Batu: The color of fate is Blue.
Fumiko: I know.
Batu: Why you!
Fumiko: I heard you the first time.
The color of fate is Blue.
-STAGE 1-
Batu: This is terrible.
Fumiko: Oh, what is?
Batu: I'm paired up with a woman.
Fumiko: I'm strong, you know.
Batu: ...That's not the point. I just
don't like the fact that I have to
let women and children fight.
Fumiko: Hm, so this is chivalry.
I kind of like it.
Batu: In this case, I'm just
narrow-minded.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: I've given up countless things in my
life. Life's about giving things up,
isn't it?
Fumiko: ...She's already a loser before the
battle has even begun.
Batu: This is going to be hard.
Fumiko: ...Oh, you too?
Batu: It's hard dealing with women.
Fumiko: Once you've given up on something,
you have no right to live. A woman's
life has to be filled with desire.
Batu: ...And if it isn't?
Fumiko: Humanity will perish.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Fumiko: You're not even worth killing the
way you are now.
Yukari: Whaaat? I can't believe you just
said that! You talk like you're the
rival of some manga's hero.
Fumiko: Don't you mean "the hero who's
showing mercy to a washed-up
Stage 1 boss"?
Batu: ...Women are scary.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: It looks like things don't seem
to work out for both men and women.
Fumiko: I know. Kohtaro's feelings haven't
budged at all.
Batu: That's a terrible example.
Still, I can't believe there are men
who would turn you down.
Fumiko: I know. I'm just as mystified.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I'm relieved at least one of you
is a man.
Batu: Me too.
Fumiko: ...I'm getting a weird vibe.
Are you guys playing for the other
team?
Shikou: No. It's just that sometimes the
enemy understand things better than
someone who has unrealistic goals.
Nothing more.
Fumiko: At any rate, it's better to have a
beautiful enemy. If you win, you
might be able to have some fun.
Batu: ...
Shikou: ...Uh, I don't know about that.
Batu: ...Let's get started.
Shikou: Agreed.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Now I can finally rest...
Batu: ...I think I'll be out of commission
for a while.
Fumiko: You act like it's my fault.
Fine, just stay there and die while
a cat nibbles on you.
-STAGE 3-
Batu: What a gloomy place.
No, I imagine that all battlefields
are like this.
Fumiko: Oh, as long as I'm here, it's gonna
be bright and lively. Shall I light
a fire here?
Batu: No, let's not do that.
...Burning the captives alive isn't
part of our mission.
Hahaha, it is indeed as bright as
can be. I wonder what we would have
talked about if we were both men.
Fumiko: We would have been talking about
meaningless things, conversations
without hopes or aspirations.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: So you made it, my personal sin.
Batu: I don't recall having any grudges
with you.
Fumiko: ...That's my stepmother.
No, perhaps my mother's ghost.
Freedom: ...You still call me that I see.
Fumiko: ...
Hmhmhmhm, today's a good day.
I get another chance to kill you.
I'm so happy, I'm almost crying.
Freedom: ...You still think of that person...
Fumiko: That person?
Men are all mine, Stepmother.
Hurry and go back to hell.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Batu: How terrible. It's a cruel joke to
make someone fight the ghosts of
their parents.
Fumiko: Oh? Really?
It actually holds a lot of meaning
for me.
-STAGE 4-
Fumiko: You're so pessimistic, you know.
Batu: Me...?
Fumiko: That's right. YOu always think about
things negatively. Why don't you try
being positive?
Batu: I used to have a wife.
Fumiko: If you're single, you can fall in
love again.
Batu: I used to have a child.
Fumiko: Just have another one.
Batu: I...
Fumiko: If you don't like how things are,
then just change the future.
You can't change the past,
it's too late. Stop thinking
about the things you can't change.
Batu: ...I'm not that strong.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You there, did she get to you?
Batu: ...
Kagachi: I sympathize with you.
It's not so easy changing your
feelings.
Fumiko: Are you making me the bad guy again?
Fine, it's gonna be fun destroying
men like you and making them
kneel before me.
Kagachi: The workd coming out of your mouth
make you the bad guy.
Fumiko: Oh, are all the bad people imitating
the way I talk now? I'm honored,
though a tad annoyed. ...Whatever.
Hurry up and die.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I want to be treated with kindness
once in a while...
Fumiko: All you have to do is come to me.
If you're still alive, that is.
-STAGE 5-
Fumiko: So, how long has it been since your
wife and son died?
Batu: ...Seven years.
Fumiko: Then that's enough time.
You're wife and son must be tired
of being jealous by now.
Batu: It's not enough time for me...
My heart. I'm not ready to let go
yet.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Fumiko: What part of that back there was a
nightmare? I don't get it.
Tsukiko: ...Well, I'm sure that's true for
you in any case. You don't care
about what happens to anyone else.
The parent you fought to the
death... The suffering man standing
next to you...
Fumiko: You're right, I don't care.
I'll just deal with it later.
Isn't that what life is all about?
Tsukiko: How insolent...
Fumiko: I only need to believe in the world
Kohtaro is creating. The future will
get better no matter what,
so you'll just have to die.
Let's have this boring nightmare
bid us farewell, Batu.
Fight.
Batu: ...Heh, you're a selfish woman from
start to finish. But your story sold
me. Count me in.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: You fight well, Batu Harai.
Let's make a deal.
Would you like to see your child?
I can grant you those dreams.
For all eternity.
Fumiko: It lookes like fun bidding on a man.
It'll be lonely and you won't see
your kid, but how about it, Batu?
Wanna come with me?
Batu: Is there an extra prize?
Fumiko: Nothing for now.
But, I don't know about the future.
Batu: I see. That's a very appealing
prize. Even though I sont see my
son... I'll take the witch's offer.
I may sill be able to fulfill my
child's wishes.
Tsukiko: Stupid man, let reality crush you...
-ENDING-
Batu: What a pleasant dawn.
Fumiko: The wind feels good. It must mean
you're healthy if waking up geels
better than dreaming.
Batu: ...You're probably right.
Fumiko: What are you gonna do now?
Batu: I'm going to quit being a mercenary
and go back to medical school.
I'll get in no matter what.
Fumiko: That sounds nice. I'll come see you
if I ever catch a cold.
Batu: ...In Japan, don't they say people
like you don't catch colds?
Fumiko: ...I supposed so.
Batu: Hmph, you managed to hire a merc
based on an empty promise. That's
the stupidest thing I ever heard.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--B3. Batu + Roger----------------------------------------------------(ba+ro)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: Ninjas are apparently ridiculous
show-offs.
On that day, I headed toward a
castle that looked like something
out of someone's nightmare.
Thats when I saw him for the first
time, stand atop a spire gazing
at the moon.
-STAGE 1-
Roger: What a nice wind.
It smells like death.
Batu: Can you also read the wind?
Roger: Yes.
I am also a wind traveler.
Batu: You're dressed strangely, but you
seem normal enough.
Roger: Hmph...
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: I used to always wonder, why do the
people I like end up hating
me? Even Kaiho and Takano.
They all leave me; they all do.
...Talking about AZANT.
Is that so important?
Is that reason enough to fight?
Roger: I personally sympathize with you.
However...
Batu: We're going to kill you.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Batu: Hey, why do people fight anyway?
Roger: If people knew the answer to that,
everything would be peaceful.
Batu: I wonder if we'll know sometime in
the far off future.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: What do you make of this wind?
Roger: It doesn't smell of blood. But this
place reeks of the dead. I doubt
we'll find anyone alive here.
Batu: A castle of the dead...
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I've trained many girls to fight
gods until now, but I only sent them
to their deaths.
It must be the way of this country:
to drink the blood of young girls
and go on living.
Batu: ...That is what battles are all
about.
Roger: ...
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: I don't expect to be forgiven with
just this...
Roger: The confusion in your heart is
what's tormenting you.
Batu: Sleep in hell.
-STAGE 3-
Batu: This place makes me feel at ease.
Roger: The stillness of death...
Batu: From one perspective, this place
may be an ideal world.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A wounded wind is blowing.
A wind that would shed blood if you
were to touch the wound.
Roger: Freedom Wind...!?
Batu: Do you know her?
Roger: No. It's an old legend.
She's red, yet ultramarine. Blue,
and the wife of ultramarine.
She died defending the
commoners during the Golden War...
Freedom: So someone remembers me afterall.
Roger: I looked up to you. I never imagined
I would have to do battle with you.
Freedom: I am now a spiried.... Not just a
shadow. There's no need for you to
hesitate. Now, let us begin.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I hope that someone can heal you...
Roger: This wound is a part of me.
I have no intention of being healed.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: Is it painful?
Roger: ...I have no more tears.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Two warriors.
Roger: ...
Batu: ...
Kagachi: Let's fight.
Using words isn't our style.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...
Roger: Respect to the dead.
Batu: A curse for us.
-STAGE 5-
Roger: The end draws near.
Batu: ...For this battle, at least.
Roger: What do you want to do at the end
of your life?
Batu: I want to die surrounded by flowers.
I'll die and become nourishment for
the flowers. I'll live within them.
Roger: I want to die protecting the one I
care about.
Batu: I hope that comes true for you.
Roger: Same to you.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: ...Roy?
Roger: ...Tsukiko...
Tsukiko: What... Why are you here?
Batu: ...Roger.
She's already dead...
Roger: Uwaaaaaaaaahh!
Batu: ...Damn.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Roy.
It's not... true...
*crumble*
Batu: ...Get up.
It's not over yet.
Roger: No, no...
I've had enough with just Shin...
Batu: I said get up!
-ENDING-
Batu looks at the disappearing
castle with a lonesome look on
his face.
Batu: ...
Roger: ...I lost my cool. Sorry.
Batu: ...You're not the only one.
I thought I saw my dead son as the
castle disappeared.
Roger: It's better to have seen him than
not seeing him at all.
...Even if was only an illusion.
Batu: ...Indeed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--B4. Batu + Gennojo--------------------------------------------------(ba+ge)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: Anyway, starting today, he'll also
be involved in the investigation.
Batu: (...A foreigner, huh?)
Gennojo: This country doesn't have any good
cigarettes.
Emilio: I'll have some imported immediately.
Batu: ...Why don't you make this an
opporunity to quit?
Gennojo: I've quit already.
You're the one that's smoking.
It smells like there are
chemicals in them that aren't
prohibited in this country.
Batu: ...Young sir, pay no attention to
this one says.
Come to think of it, I never liked
you from the day I first met you...
-STAGE 1-
Batu: Why am I stuck with you...?
Gennojo: I'm sorry I'm not a beautiful woman.
But I'm sure I'd be more useful in
solving the incident.
Batu: Honest to a fault.
I'm just against inviting a
foreigner. Nothing more.
Gennojo: Aren't mercenaries foreigners in
general? Or are you saying you're
different?
Batu: When this is all over, see for
yourself.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: With an abundance and cuteness 100x
over, she's even more gorgeous than
before!
Yukari Type 2 is finally here!
Here's a big gun to your heart.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Batu: ...A Nyaponichi.
I'll kill you.
Gennojo: ...I think that won't be possible.
Batu: What?
Gennojo: Her shadow doesn't look natural.
She isn't... Hmm. It's not real,
so it can't be killed.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Batu: What's the connection between the
missing people and this illusion,
private investigator?
Gennojo: A mercenary should think for
himself a little too.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: I don't like this incident.
...I don't like this castle.
Gennojo: I agree. Although it's better than
murdering and walking under the
burning hot sun.
Batu: You're an annoying partner.
Gennojo: Well, thanks.
...Look, here comes the enemy.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Welcome, warriors. I am usually not
permitted to reveal my name, but I
am Shikou Mibuya. Let us fight.
Gennojo: It doesn't matter who you are...
Although I am interested in the
thing that created you.
Batu: Is this really an illusion?
Gennojo: Yeah, but that's not really the
problem. But the way, about those
cigarettes...
Batu: Do you want a smoke?
Gennojo: No... Let's fight first.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Well done...
Gennojo: My job doesn't allow me to kill.
It doesn't give the right to
arrest or reform anyone either.
A private investigator can only do
one thing: Solve the mystery.
It's not something to be praised.
-STAGE 3-
</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
Batu: Here, a cigarette.
Gennojo: Thanks, but no.
I'm trying to quit.
Batu: ...What do you mean?
Gennojo: Have you ever had a dream with
smell?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A dry wind is blowing.
The wind of a traveler who is tired
but still continues to walk.
Gennojo: I'm sure it's better than a damp
wind. You can probably light a fire
easier.
Freedom: I hope that someone will be able to
heal you.
Gennojo: No thanks.
I don't want anyone to heal me.
Batu: What's the use in talking to a
dream?
Gennojo: You're right.
Well, let's get started then.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Batu: Investigator.
Gennojo: What is it?
Batu: I have no intention of getting
healed either. At least not my
heart.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: ...I've never had a dream with
smell. Is that what you meant?
Gennojo: Yeah, that's it.
It appears we're dreaming together.
Batu: Since when? From what point did this
become a dream?
Gennojo: Probably when we entered the city.
So the missing people... Hmm.
They're probably dreaming like us.
Batu: ...What should we do?
Gennojo: This dream seems to have an outline.
That means that is must have an
ending, right?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you like me?
Gennojo: No, I'm not.
You're just a dream.
You're not real.
Batu: This dream seems to have an ending.
So we're going to end it.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Batu: I don't like Nyaponichi, but you
have earned my respect as a
private investigator.
Gennojo: Well, thanks.
-STAGE 5-
Gennojo: The end should be approaching soon.
Batu: How can you determine that?
Gennojo: It's 7:50 now.
Morning will be here soon.
Batu: I'm not so sure about that.
Gennojo: Wanna bet?
Batu: You haven't quit drinking yet, have
you?
Gennojo: Of course not!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare...
So what do you think of the
nightmare I've shown you?
It's well made, don't you think?
...Why are you smiling?
Batu: Women and children will never
understand.
Gennojo: No doubt about that.
Tsukiko: I don't like that attitude.
Prepare yourselves.
Gennojo: Even when you risk your life...
Batu: ...There are times you can still
smile. Like when someone loses a
bet and pays up.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Batu: I'll treat you as much as you want.
Gennojo: ...No, it's my loss.
It looks like it's not over yet.
-ENDING-
Gennojo: My treat.
Batu: No, I lost.
Gennojo: ...Then, how about splitting the
bill?
Batu: Heh, that sounds good.
You can drink, can't you?
Gennojo: I can probably drink until tomorrow
morning.
Batu: Wahahahaha. Then let's get a
hangover before we return to the
palace.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--B5. Batu + Mihee----------------------------------------------------(ba+mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: Why am I here in this place?
Batu: Why am I with this woman?
Mihee: I came here to see my cousin!
Batu: A woman on the battlefield...?
Is there no hope for this world?
Batu/Mihee: This sucks.
-STAGE 1-
Batu: Why me...?
Mihee: Why am I...?
No, no, we can't move forward like
this.
Batu, was it? Is this the Swan
Castle, where the people are said
to have disappeared?
Batu: Right... I guess it can't be
helped. Let's work together.
....This world really is hopeless.
Mihee: If there was any hope, this world
would've been saved long ago.
Including me. And maybe even you.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand, I've made my
come back from the previous game.
I'm Yukari Horiguchi, age 17!
Mihee: An acquaintance of yours?
Batu: Do I look like I know her? I've seen
strange things on the battlefield,
but she's something else entirely.
Yukari: Oh my, a new face. Okay, as your
senior on the battlefield, I'll
teach you how to fight!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: You ended up teaching me how to
fight! I can't stand this!
Batu: I don't know it she's stupid or
what.
Mihee: She might have made a good
concubine.
-STAGE 2-
Batu: ...What kind of castle is this?
Mihee: What if this place was so much fun,
you didn't want to go back to
reality?
Batu: If you're joking, it's a bad joke.
If you're serious, that's even
worse.
Mihee: ...You're too uptight.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I guess I should say welcome.
Batu: (I'm relieved... There aren't only
amusing people here.)
Mihee: Don't bother welcoming us.
You're not a beautiful young girl.
You're also the enemy.
Shikou: So being a beautiful young girl is
more imporant than being the enemy?
Mihee: Isn't it normal to worry about the
face of girl rather than face
of an enemy?
Batu: It's not normal for you to be
talking like that. This world really
is hopeless.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...You're strong.
Mihee: Because I'm beautiful
Batu: What kind of castl--I mean battle
is this.
-STAGE 3-
Mihee: It's not a castle with only
beautiful women. It's no fun.
Batu: ...Why are you so obsessed with
beautiful women?
Mihee: ...Obsessed? Me?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A confused wind is blowing.
Mihee: She's beautiful. This is it.
This is the battle I've been waiting
for.
Freedom: Thank you.
I'm pleased.
Batu: What an emotionally disturbed
conversation. There's no hope.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I forgive you.
Mihee: Do you want to be my bride?
Batu: Everyone's fallen ill...
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: Why did you come to this castle?
Batu: I'm a mercenary. I'll fight anywhere
if the price is right.
Mihee: Is that what you're particular
about?
Batu: ...No, there's nothing particular
about it.
Mihee: You're ill, aren't you?
Batu: ...Are you trying to get back at me
for what I said to you?
Mihee: Yeah.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: What is your relationshup with each
other?
Batu: I guess the best answer is, we're
just passing through together.
Mihee: Enemies stuck together in the same
boat.
Kagachi: I see. How unfortunate.
A mob is just too weak.
Batu: That's an amateur's opinion. There's
strength in numbers. The side with
the greater number always wins.
Mihee: That's an amateur's opinion.
Do you really think you can beat him
without a handicap like this?
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Strength in numbers, huh?
Mihee: I told you I was strong.
Batu: Stop it, he's already dying.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: ...Utterly...
Batu: ...Everyone is sick.
Let's just be nice to them.
Mihee: ...I'm not beautiful.
Batu: Hm?
Mihee: ...I'm not beautiful, so that's why
I like beautiful women. If you don't
understand, forget about it.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: Half of your associates certainly
weren't beautiful young girls.
Batu: It definitely was a nightmare for
me.
Mihee: What do you mean by that?
Tsukiko: Everyone is at rest here.
They're all having nice dreams.
Batu: There's no way that sleeping forever
can be good. I can only think that
they're all emotionally disturbed.
Tsukiko: What do you think?
Don't you think reality is harder
to deal with?
Mihee: I do, but that's how things are.
Batu: Agreed. You take the good with the
bad. You take the bad with the good.
That's just how things are.
Mihee: I'll have to defeat you before
I make you my bride.
Batu: Even if you're emotionally
disturbed, the morning still comes.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Do you enjoy reality that much?
Batu: The people asleep now have families.
They can't just conveniently
continue dreaming by themselves.
Mihee: If you lose your job as the last
enemy, I'll make you my bride.
Tsukiko: ...I hope reality crushes you...
-ENDING-
Batu: It's over.
Mihee: Yeah. But in the end, I didn't even
get a single beautiful girl. This
trip was so useless.
Batu: ...
Mihee: You have something you want to say?
Batu: I think you're very beautiul.
...Well, see ya.
Have a safe trip home.
Mihee: Wh, What did you say?
Batu: That face you just made was
particularly beautiful.
Wahahaha...!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--B6. Batu + Nagino---------------------------------------------------(ba+na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: The castle that only appears during
a full moon was known as the Swan
Castle.
After a long absence, I, Batu Harai,
returned to my homeland as a
mercenary.
The job didn't pay much, but the
young girl who hired me looked sad.
-STAGE 1-
Batu: We're almost at our destination...
uhh...
Nagino: You can call me Nagi.
So this is the Swan Castle, huh?
Batu: It only appears during a full moon.
Nagino: Hey, can I see you smile?
Batu: Huh?
Nagino: I'm sure you'd look better if you
smile.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: With an abundance of cuteness 100x
over, Yukari, version 2, is finally
here!
Even more gorgeous than before,
a golden hammer smites your heart.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Batu: ...
Nagino: It's okay to smile.
Batu: No, it doesn't suit me.
Yukari: Oh, come on!
Batu: Be quiet! I'm a mercenary.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: You're mean!
Batu: If you know a way to defeat the
enemy without violence, let me know.
That would be kinder on a mercenary.
-STAGE 2-
Nagino: Hey, Batu, why are you a mecenary
anway?
Batu: ...It's not in the contract for me
to tell you that.
Nagino: What about smiling?
Batu: That goes for smiling too.
You shouldn't expect so much from a
mercenary.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: A father and his daughter...
This is going to be difficult.
Batu: (...Well, this one seems normal.)
...Here I come.
Nagino: Aren't you going to identify
yourself?
Batu: That custom is from the olden days.
We don't do it now.
Shikou: I am Shikou Mibuya, young lady.
Nagino: I'm Nagino Ise. Call me Nagi.
So why is it hard to fight against
a father and a daughter?
Shikou: Even if I win, there's a feeling of
regret. Forget about it... It's not
important. Here I come.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Well done...
You may proceed.
Batu: Do you know why people stopped
identifying themselves in battle?
Nagino: ?
Batu: Because it gnaws at your conscience.
If you've learned your lesson, stop
talking to the enemy.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: Wait, Batu.
Batu: What is it?
Nagino: I'm going to keep talking to the
enemy. And I'm still going to ask
you to smile.
Batu: ...I think you should stop.
Nagino: No, I won't give up.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An 8th wind ascends to the heavens.
I know people like you. The blue
born from black, the blue of blue.
Batu: Don't confuse my master with your
strange words!
Nagino: Can you smile?
Freedom: Yes, and I feel honored to be able
to polish those powers. Now then,
let us begin.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: [So, you believe that even that man
is worthy of living.]
Nagino: [Is there anyone that is okay to let
die?]
Freedom: [Not all people want to live.
No matter how much you fight your
fate...]
Nagino: Even so, I'll keep fighting.
As long as my light keeps shining.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: What was that all about?
Nagino: I don't think that was in the
contract.
Batu: ...You're right.
Nagino: I'll tell you if you smile.
Batu: ...No, that's okay.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you father and daughter?
Batu: No.
A mercenary and his client.
Nagino: Oh no.
You made him angry.
Batu: I'm not angry.
Nagino: Are too, are too.
Kagachi: How unfortunate. You are alone,
abandoned by the one adult who came
with you to the battlefield.
Nagino: No, you're wrong.
Some days, it's sunny, and some
days, it's raining. He's just shy.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I see.
You were not alone.
Batu: ...
-STAGE 5-
Nagino: Ugh, uggh.
Batu: I'm not smiling even if you make
that weird face.
Nagino: I see.
Batu: ...There was once a man who was
feared because he was large and was
asked to help out in a fight.
He wanted a normal life, but he
couldn't do anything else...
That is all.
Nagino: I see. But he's fortunate.
It's better than killing just
because you like to.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
What do you think of the nightmare
I've shown you?
Nagino: It was nothing. A nightmare should
have more ghosts and stuff.
Batu: My client is the archenemy of
nightmares. Compared to her,
you're no big deal.
Tsukiko: We'll just have to see how long you
can keep talking like that.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let... reality crush you.
Nagino: Hey, once this is over, will you
smile for me?
Batu: I'll think about it.
-ENDING-
Nagino: Well, we managed to save the people
that were slee... Hey, don't try to
run away.
Batu: Umm, I said I'd think about it.
Nagino: Smile.
Batu: ...
Nagino: Smile!
Batu: ...Well, I've forgotten how to
smile.
Nagino: Then you don't have to smile.
Batu: Really?
Nagino: There.
Now that's a smile.

--B7. Batu + Reika----------------------------------------------------(ba+re)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: The battlefield is a cruel place.
Women and children often bear the
brunt of the burden.
Reika: Doot-di-doot-di-doo~
Batu: I'm not sure why a mercenary like me
took this girl in. I was just angry.
With the world. And myself.
Reika: Reika's a police officer in the
History Security Police.
Batu: ...I decided to go to the castle.
It is said to be able to heal
emotional illnesses.
-STAGE 1-
Reika: So this place is a countryside even
in the 21st century? Reika's
surprised.
Batu: ...What's with this girl?
Reika: Reika's a police officer in the
History Security Police.
Batu: ...I see.
(Poor thing, she must have gone
through so much, she went crazy...)
Reika: ???
Batu: Alright, come with me.
Try not to get hurt.
Reika: Where are we going?
Batu: Swan Castle. They say
the sunrise from the its rooftop, your
emotional illnesses will be cured.
Reika: Oooh, great.
Reika has business there too.
Batu: ...Yes, you definitely do.
I mean, we're going for your sake.
Uh, never mind. Let's go.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Have you heard the rumors already?
Of course! Back by popular demand,
it's Yukari Type 100, Sky Chapter!
I always get the hex I'm aiming for.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Aahahaha.
Reika: From a far away future, I'm a
superheroine traveling through time.
The maiden with green hair.
My undying love is bathed in the
light of a world to come.
Reika Kirishima is here!
Batu: ...Another one's fallen ill.
Yukari: Is it a cold?
Reika: Is it athlete's foot?
Batu: ...It's pretty serious.
It's making it difficult to talk.
Yukari: In that case, you should just lose
already and go home. I'll defeat
you.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: No way! Sky Chapter ends here!? *sigh*
What's gonna happen to me? *gasp*
I hope not that again. *gasp* Or that.
Reika: Yup, this and that.
Yukari: Noooo!
Batu: It's disturbing that they're
actually carrying on a conversation.
-STAGE 2-
Batu : ...Just wait.
I'll cure all of you.
Reika: Batty, are you a doctor?
Batu: No, but I wanted to be.
I wonder why things ended up like
this...
Reika: Ah, you're right. According to my
notes, you'll be a doctor in 20
years.
Batu: ...Heh, is that so? At any rate,
according to the legend, I should
be able to heal you guys.
Reika: Reika's healthy.
That's the only good trait I have.
Batu: I know. I know.
Let's just get going.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I've trained many girls to fight
gods until now, but I only sent them
to their deaths.
It must be the way of this country:
To drink the blood of young girls
and go on living.
Batu: Another ill one here.
Reika: ...Then you should just change those
ways.
Shikou: How?
And where?
Reika: Even if you don't know how, you have
to move forward. Move towards
tomorrow!
Batu: ...?
Reika: Even if this world is an enclosed
darkness, it's still wrong to give up.
There's nothing you can't change.
Shikou: How would you know that?
Reika: There's no way Reika would know
that. I only know that the future
isn't that bad.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: The future isn't that bad, huh?
Reika: Yup.
-STAGE 3-
Batu: That was a clever retort.
I liked how you said how would you
know anything.
Reika: ???
About what?
Batu: No, never mind.
...I hope it gets cured.
...I mean, I'll cure you.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: The seventh wind is blowing.
You must have unlocked the secrets
of the world.
Reika: Who are you?
Batu: They're all ill. Every one of them.
All because of war. I've never felt
such hatred towards war until now.
Freedom: ...Um, I think you're a little off
base.
Batu: No, don't say any more.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to cure you all.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I thought my role was a little
better than this.
Reika: Too bad.
Batu: ...I'll cure you too.
Just sleep there for a while.
-STAGE 4-
Reika: ...Batty's a kind person.
Batu: No, I'm not. I'm alive today
because I wasn't kind.
If I were kind, I would have killed
myself before living the life of a
mercenary.
I'm not who you think I am.
Reika: ...Are you saying that even after
you've had a glimpse of the future?
Batu: ...?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: There are times I feel like fighting
for someone else. I'm sure my life
will end because of that decision.
Batu: Sometimes things are taken from you
before you have a chance to fight
for them. Like me, for example.
Kagachi: I wonder about that. Haven't you
gained those things once again?
Reika: ???
Batu: ...Who knows.
I'm not sure yet.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: If I'm going to be killed, I want to
be killed by someone with gentle
eyes.
Reika: ...
Kagachi: My wish has been granted.
-STAGE 5-
Reika: His wish was so sad.
I wonder why he didn't wish for
something more happy.
Batu: Really?
Reika: If you're gonna die, why not die
looking to tomorrow? If the result
is the same, that'd be a lot better.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
Batu What's with everyone...?
Reika: What's with everyone?
Batu: I'll just have to cure you all.
Go to sleep for now.
Let's do that first.
Tsukiko: That's not possible.
You two are going to be dreaming
here for all of eternity.
Batu: Heve, you said there's no way to know
the future... I guess you're right.
I haven't even decided what I'm
going to eat tomorrow.
If you want to know the future, you
just have to make it yourself. I'm
going to win, I'm going to cure you.
Reika: That's right, Batty.
You're gonna look good as a doctor.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
*crumble*
Batu: Damn, is there still more?
Reika: ...It's a versatile system that
seeks those willing to take on the
pain of others.
Batu: What are you talking about?
Reika: "Everyone" controlling Reika.
Lend me a hand.
Let's change history together.
It's wrong to abandon this world
just because it's enclosed darkness.
So lend me a hand.
We're gonna create a doctor, just
you and me.
-ENDING-
Batu stands on the roof of the
castle, waiting for the dawn.
Batu: A little more, just a bit more...
The illness will be cured soon.
Reika: No.
...You're already cured, Batty.
Batu: ...?
Reika: The castle wasn't calling for me.
It was calling for you, Batty.
As she melted into the light of
day, Reika smiled.
Reika: Don't forget about today. History
will change, just a little. Whether
you can change it more is up to you.
Heheh.
Reika failed another mission.
Batu: H-Hey!
Reika disappeared inside the light.

--B8. Batu + Munchausen-----------------------------------------------(ba+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Batu: Two guys is kind of dull.
Munchausen: Indeed, sir.
Batu: Is anyone even going to play with
this combination?
Munchausen: Indeed, sir.
Batu: I'm starting to feel lonely.
Munchausen: Indeed, sir.
Batu: ...An apple is an orange.
Munchausen: Indeed, sir.
Batu: Why you!
Munchausen: Huh?!
Oh, pardon me.
I was feeling sleepy...
-STAGE 1-
Batu: That's a relief.
Munchausen: What is, sir?
Batu: I don't know what would have
happened if I was paired up with a
woman or child.
Munchausen: The participants in this endeavor
are the cream of the crop at what
they do.
Batu: ...To be honest, I don't like it
when I have to let women and
children fight.
Munchausen: ...I see you are a man of chivalry.
Batu: I'm just narrow-minded.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: I used to always wonder, why do the
people I like always end up hating
me? Even Kaiho and Takano.
They all leave me; they all do.
...Talking about AZANT.
Is that so important?
Is that reason enough to fight?
Batu: This is going to be hard.
Munchausen: ...It appears to be a haunted
spirit.
Batu: It's still going to be hard.
I'm still dealing with a woman.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: ...Men should all just die.
Batu: ...
-STAGE 2-
Batu: All things seem to have a wayo f not
working out.
Munchausen: Indeed, sir.
Batu: I had never killed a woman before.
Munchausen: You'll get used to it.
Batu: Probably.
But that's what I don't like.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I'm glad you guys are men.
Batu: Same here.
Munchausen: It seems strange to have a sense of
understanding with the enemy.
Shikou: Don't be so sure. Sometimes the
enemy understands things better than
someone who has unrealistic goals.
Munchausen: I see. You have a point, sir.
Batu: And there's nothing we can do about
it. Very well. Let's cut the
chitchat and fight.
Shikou: Agreed.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Now I can finally rest...
Batu: ...
-STAGE 3-
Batu: What a gloomy place.
A battlefield is always like this.
I've given up on countless things.
I probably have to give up something
here also.
Munchausen: There's no salvation where there are
only men, Master Batu. A woman's
touch is needed.
Batu: But that still doesn't mean we
should send women and children to
the battlefield. Fine, there's no
salvation on the battlefield.
That much is true.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A sad wind is blowing.
...Lift your heads, men.
Batu: ...Are your eyes hurt?
Freedom: No, I just want to keep the one I
love most seared onto the back of my
eyelids.
The wind guides me through everyday
life, so I have no problems.
The same foes for battle. Proably.
Munchausen: This is a legendary ghost.
Master Batu, the person before us is
likely someone from 1000 years ago.
Batu: This is amazing.
Could she be one of my ancestors?
Freedom: Perhaps. My husband once had
relations with a peasant.
...If you wish to proceed, fight.
Batu: Isn't there any way we could go
forward without fighting?
Freedom: No, unfortunately not.
You understand, right?
There is no other way.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Batu: I knew there was no alternative to
fighting. But I had to ask anyway.
Freedom: I know what you mean.
I'm the same way.
-STAGE 4-
Batu: What do they plan to do by gathering
spirits from all arond?
Munchausen: I believe it's some kind of spell.
It's reasonable to assume spirits
will gather where magic is strong.
Batu: And it's purpose?
Munchausen: The spell only has one effect:
To bind something.
Batu: We just don't know what that is,
huh?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...
Batu: I guess there's no need for an
explanation.
Kagachi: That's right. If you have something
to say, say it in battle.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Well done.
Munchausen: May I ask you something?
What spell do you plan to use?
Kagachi: ...If you make it to the end...
you'll know.
Munchausen: That is true.
-STAGE 5-
Munchausen: I think we should hurry.
Batu: Is something going to happen?
Munchausen: No, but it will be dawn soon.
I need to prepare breakfast before
my master awakens.
Batu: That's quite an excuse, but is that
all?
Munchausen: Of course not, sir, but that would
be the main reason.
Batu: So the magic spell will be
completed, huh...?
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Batu: Well, whatever's going to happen,
it looks like we made it in time to
see it.
Munchausen: It appears that way, sir.
Young lady, what purpose do you have
in doing such a thing?
Tsukiko: None.
I was merely summoned as well.
Munchausen: Are you saying that no one planned
this?
Tsukiko: Perhaps. Regardless, there's no
denying that "this" exists to show
the dreams people wish for.
And people wish for a nightmare.
Batu: Where are the missing people?
Tsukiko: Even now, they are dreaming.
They haven't been eating, so some
may already be dead.
Batu: I'll just defeat you and save them.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Batu: Is it over?
Tsukiko: ...It's... too late...
*crumble*
-ENDING-
The two men stood, watching the dawn
rise.
Munchausen: Did the dreams finally become
reality in the form of a monster?
Batu: They just ended as dreams.
Munchausen: ...I believe so, sir.
Let's prepare breakfast.
Batu: Heh, yeah.
I guess reality seems to be
stronger.

--C1. Emilio + Fumiko-------------------------------------------------(em+fu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: I wonder why we're so unfortunate.
Shikou: Mm.
Kagachi: It looks like the men are
unfortunate in general this time.
Kohtaro: Really?
Emilio/Kagachi: Go away, protagonist.
Ring, ring, ring.
Emilio: Well, I'm up.
I had better go.
Shikou: I should head to Stage 2 as well.
Kagachi: I'll go as soon as I've finished my
tea.
Emilio: I bet Fumiko's going to get here
late.
Anyway, let's continue with the main
story.
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: Leave me alone!
Fumiko: Oh, but I think a witch and a demon
user make a rather lovely pair.
Emilio: That's not the point.
Fumiko: Sure it is.
Now, what should we go see next?
Emilio: We're not here to sightsee!
We need to climb that castle
immediately!
Fumiko: Oh, you're no fun. You know, if
you're royalty, you need to know a
thing or two about pleasing a woman.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Ahhh, he's so cuuute!
I want him!
Fumiko: You can't.
He's mine.
Emilio: Don't treat me like a piece of meat!
Fumiko: What did you expect from a villain
and a witch? Conscience? Morality?
Those things were sold out long ago.
At any rate, all the men in this
world are mine. You have a lot of
nerve thinking you're an exception.
Yukari: Then I'll take him by force!
Fumiko: Try it, silly little girl!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awww! I lost again!
Fumiko: Peon.
-STAGE 2-
Fumiko: Well, now that I've won, you belong
to me too.
Emilio: Get away from me!
Fumiko: My, you're so stiff.
Oh, my.
Emilio: It's because you used a restraining
spell. Untie me! Come on!
Fumiko: It's no use. Just calm down.
Emilio: Aaaah. I'll bite my tongue!
Fumiko: Ahahaha, what an insteresing child.
Very well, I'll untie you.
Don't worry, I'm a witch. I won't do
anything tasteless. I'll make you
want to say pretty please. *chuckle*
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Shameless woman...
Fumiko: Oh, are you jealous?
Emilio: Why does it seem the enemy is more
worried about me...?
Emilio: I'll save you little boy!
Let's go to a world only with men!
A dazzling world!
Emilio: Why does it seem bad no matter
which way I fall...?
Fumiko: Aren't you glad? Now you don't have
to worry about it.
Emilio: ...
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Why? Why won't you be on the dreams
of men...?
Fumiko: He doesn't like sausages.
Too bad.
-STAGE 3-
Emilio: Talk about something more normal.
Stop making lame jokes.
Fumiko: Oh, you know the word "lame"?
Emilio: Kohtaro taught me the word.
Fumiko: That word actually means "you're
beautiful" when you say it to a
woman.
Emilio: Does it really?
Fumiko: Of course.
That's my lover Kohtaro for you.
He really knows some good words.
Emilio: Was I being fooled?
I thought that at least he was a
good guy...!
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A faraway wind is blowing.
Time flies like an aero.
Emilio: Lame!
Freedom: W-Well, I never...
True, I was born a bit before your
time, but I'm not...
People say I still look young.
I mean, that's not what I wanted to
say.
Emilio: Lame!
Freedom: Uggh.
Fumiko: Aahahaha! That's what you get,
Stepmother. You should just hurry and
die. That is, I'll kill you!
Freedom: Odette! Why you little...!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You disrespectful child!
Fumiko: The parent died first, so it's not
so bad. Aahahaha!
Emilio: What is this? I'm here to save my
people, but I feel like I've dirtied
my hands in something very wrong...
Fumiko: Fun things are usually like that.
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: Was that... your mother?
Fumiko: Probably an impostor.
There's no way she would be here.
Emilio: R-Really?
I-I'm sorry, I thought...
You...
Fumiko: I killed her a thousand years ago.
There's no way the dead come back to
life.
Emilio: Ngah!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you mother and son?
Emilio: Absolutely not.
Kagachi: At that rebelious stage, huh?
Emilio: No! We're not related!
Fumiko: Heh... How did you know?
He is my son, and he is rebelious.
Kagachi: As I thought.
Fumiko: He used to be such a good boy...
Emilio: No! What's with this lady anyway!?
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: So this is the power of a mother and
son...
Emilio: If I were really her son, I'd
totally be a juvenile delinquent by
now.
Fumiko: I guess I'm just a great parent.
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: Good grief...
Why is everyone just joking around?
Fumiko: Oh, can't you see?
Emilio: See what?
Fumiko: Hmm, you were overestimating this
place. It's magic. This castle exclusively
embodies a person's ideas.
Emilio: How can...? But when...?
Fumiko: When we arrived here. From then on,
our sense of smell disappeared.
Let's go, Emilio! Come with me.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
Fumiko: See? The one I want to kill most has
just arrived.
Tsukiko: So you figured out the trick.
Fumiko: It wasn't by my power...
It was thanks to this child.
Emilio: Huh?
Fumiko: Children are affected by magic the
easiest, but they also break away
from it the easiest.
This child's pure view of the world
was depicted as is, so I figured it
out right away.
Tsukiko: Hmhm, you may have figured it out,
but do you think you can win?
Fumiko: Of course I will. I'm gonna show
this child an example, so I can't
afford to lose.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let reality crush you...
Fumiko: No, I won't let it.
That's why I, an adult, am here.
-ENDING-
While watching the crumbling castle,
Emilio looked at Fumiko standing
next to him.
Emilio: ...I'm sorry. I've been looking down
on you... No, all adults this whole
time.
Fumiko: Of course there are stupid adults,
but that goes for children too.
Everyone isn't the same.
Emilio: ...I understand.
Umm, may I be your apprentice?
I umm, want to be stronger...
Fumiko: Say pretty please.
Emilio: Pretty please.
Fumiko: Well, that makes a perfect game.
Emilio: Huh?
Fumiko: Forget about it if you don't
remember. I'll teach you.
Come to Japan.
Emilio: Yes, ma'am.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--C2. Emilio + Roger--------------------------------------------------(em+ro)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: I heard that Nyapon is in the
Orient, but not everyone is Oriental
there.
Roger: I won't allow you to steal him from
me, Sayo...! Ahahaha!
If a friend is in danger, it is
up to us shadows to save him!
For I am international ninja Roger
Sasuke! Let's go, Moonsong!
Pierce my enemy!
Emilio: Nyapon doesn't seem like a very
serious country. He's really quite
odd. Can I help my people like this?
-STAGE 1-
Roger: Ahahaha!
Emilio: Um, in this case, isn't it normal
just to sneak in? Actually, isn't
that what ninjas are supposed to do?
Roger: You're too soft! An international
ninja always fight fair and square.
That's just what they do!
Emilio: I-Is that so?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Whats with the cosplay? *gasp*
You're not here to stop me from
becoming a global idol, are you!?
Roger: Earth, wind and fire call out to me.
They tell me to protect my friends.
For their sake and for the friendship I
hold dear, my cello bow will strum!
Behold! You're as good as dead!
Yukari: And this kid must be your boyfriend,
right?
Emilio: Definitely not.
Yukari: Oh really?
I'm actually really relieved.
Roger: Let's try this again. My name is
Roger Sasuke, the international
ninja! I've arrived with a new look!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why is it always two against one!?
I hate this!
Roger: Justice always prevails.
Emilio: I don't like this kind of justice...
-STAGE 2-
Roger: Ahahah!
It takes only one blow to score a
victory for an international ninja!
Emilio: (Why does this man's refreshing
demeanor seem fake..?)
Roger: No worries! Just sit back and relax!
Emilio: ...Thank you very much.
(I wonder if everything will be
alright...)
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I've been waiting for you. You're an
evil existence that has besmirched
my culture with your misconceptions.
Emilio: Ah, I thought so.
Roger: You are both mistaken. The ninja
that is adored in this world is not
the historically correct ninja.
The world longs for a ninja like me,
a shadow that never backs down and
risks everything for great justice.
If the world is in danger, it
is up to us shadows to save it.
As Roger the international ninja,
I've done away with old traditions
and have arrived to kick your ass!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Roger: The end!
Emilio: (Pseudo-ninja...)
-STAGE 3-
Roger: Ahahahahahahaha!
Laughing out loud suits an
international ninja well.
Emilio: Pseudo-ninja...
Roger: Talk like that again, Emilio, and
your flesh will meet my shuriken.
Emilio: Just kidding? ...Ha, hahaha.
(Oh well, he's useful in combat, so
I'd better just go along with him.)
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A kind wind is blowing.
You are a white pearl.
Roger: I don't know what you're talking
about, but I do know one thing.
You're an illusion!
Emilio: Huh?
Freedom: Yes, that is correct.
Roger: If the world is in danger, it
is up to us shadows to save it.
I, international ninja Roger, have
arrived to destroy an evil illusion!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You're always the same.
You're living a lie.
Roger: ...No! No! I'm just living my life
the way I want to.
I am Roger Sasuke, the int'l inja.
I pledge fairness to all, to protect
the weak, and vanquish the evil!
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: Hmhmhm, ahahaha!
Roger: Why are you laughing?
Emilio: This whole situation feels like a
dream. I may be called ill-mannered
for it, but I felt like laughing.
Roger: Hm. Laughing out loud is a basic
trait for an international ninja.
Emilio: I always save my younger sister in
my dream. I try to look after her,
even though I know don't have one.
Roger: So just make one. And if there isn't
a way, make one and give it a name.
Hey, how about international sister?
Emilio: Ahahaha.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Have you two had a happy life?
Roger: We won't know that until we're dead.
Kagachi: Then you'll know soon enough.
Emilio: I don't intend to die now. I'm going
to save my people. Then there's
something I want to make after that.
Roger: If the world is in danger, it
is up to us shadows to save it.
I, international ninja Roger, have
arrived to protect a boy's dream!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You guys are crazy.
Emilio: That's just how we're dressed.
Our hearts are not.
-STAGE 5-
Roger: Ahahahahahahaha!
Emilio: Hahahahaha!
Roger: You're starting to get it,
little boy.
Emilio: It's like a dream anyway.
Roger: Indeed.
Reality is like a dream.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
How did you like the nightmares?
Did you get to know each other well?
Roger: Ahahahahahahaha!
Emilio: Hahahahaha!
If if the world is in danger, it is up
to us to stop to it!
The international royal, Emilio!
Roger: And the international ninja Roger!
Protecting justice worldwide!
I laugh in the face of nightmares!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Roger: Can you keep going?
Roger: ...Of course!
Roger: That is the spirit of an
international royal.
Let's go.
-ENDING-
The castle of nightmares melts away.
Roger: This is where the dreams end.
Emilio: ...I see.
So they are.
Roger: Heh. No, Emilio, your dream is not
over yet. Reality and dreams are not
all that different from each other
There's only one difference.
You just can't have courage the same
way you can in a dream.
Emilio: Do you think I can become an
international royal even when I'm an
adult... If I have courage?
Roger: Of course, you can. I guarantee it.
Hmm, the world is in danger again!
Farewell, Emilio.
Emilio: Goodbye, Roger.

-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: My name is Emilio Stanburke,
I am the Count of Beruna and the
shadow of the Kingdom of Alcaland.
I am reluctantly investigating a
series of missing person
incidents with a private investigator
from a remote country called Nyapon,
a country very adept at war.
*sigh* I tire of Princess Maako's
favoritism towards the Orient.
Ow!
Gennojo: A country where kids mumble to
themselves can lead to no good.
Quit it.
Emilio: You hit me. I'm a Count, yet you hit
me? Even my father has never laid a
hand on me.
Gennojo: Kids are supposed to grow up seeing
the unfairness of adults.
Let's get going.
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: I'll kill you, Nyaponese.
Ow, ow!
Hitting me on the head is an
international incident!
Gennojo: Can't you justify yourself without
using your title as count of your
country?
Listen, your status or your country
have no bearing on how great you
are.
Don't mistake what others created as
your own. If you're a man, fight on
your own. Got it?
Emilio: ...That's gender discrimination!
Gennojo: It just means that that's all you
have now. Now if you understand,
let's get on with the investigation.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: With an abundance of cuteness 100x
over, she's even more gorgeous than
before!
Yukari Type 2 is finally here!
Here's a big gun to your heart.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Gennojo: See? Do you want to be like her?
It's better being a man, isn't it?
Emilio: ...
Yukari: Hey, I don't think I like what
you're saying! Do you think it's
better in a world with only men?
Gennojo: ...Women are no good. They get bent
out of shape easy, are gossipy,
and don't take criticism well.
Emilio: ...I've made my decision: Both of
you are no good. I'll never become
an adult like you two.
Yukari: Hey!
Gennojo: Me too?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why is it two against one!?
Waaaaah!
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: I shouldn't have relied on other
people in the first place
Gennojo: It's not good for a kid to be out of
control. It leads to no good.
Emilio: ...
Gennojo: Oh, do you want a piece of me?
Emilio: An old man like you should sit back
and rest in the sun. Leave the rest
to the young.
Gennojo: ...Say what?
Emilio: Now if you'll excuse me.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Hm, this looks like an easy
opponent.
Emilio: Don't jusge a book by its cover.
I'm country's... umm, citizen.
Shikou: You're quarreling amongst each other
before a battle. You can't win that
way.
Gennojo: We're very good buddies.
Emilio: I can handle this alone.
Shikou: Hmph, then here I come!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: What the!
Emilio: I firmly declare that adults today
are no good.
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: Well, well. You're so cute trying to
act all tought.
Emilio: Don't call me cute.
Gennojo: Good. That's how a man should be.
So, what's your assessment of this
incident so far?
Emilio: A crazy peraon kidnapped my people.
That's all I need to know.
And even if I did learn more about
the suspect, it won't change my
decision.
I'll have my people returned to me,
then the appropriate punishment will
be given.
Gennojo: I give you 20 points.
Emilio: What?
Gennojo: Think about it some more.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A black wind is blowing.
A parentlike wind trying to raise
a child. A childlike wind trying to
blow by itself.
Emilio: Cut the prattle. Let my people go.
If you don't, I will use force,
even if you are a woman.
Gennojo: That's gender discrimination.
Emilio: Shut up!
...So what say you!?
Freedom: I really would like to return them
to you, but I cannot. We don't have
the authority to do that.
If you want to fulfill your mission,
defeat me and move on.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Emilio: ...
Gennojo: What a kind enemy.
I learned a lot.
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: What did you learn?
Gennojo: There are several enemies, of
which one is the boss. When she
said, "We don't have the
authority," that indicated that
there are others that are the
same rank as her.
Of course, that also indicates there
is someone above her. Simply put,
she told us to defeat the "boss."
Emilio: ...Then why did you only give me
20 points?
Gennojo: Man or god, no one is truly evil.
They become bad because the
opportunity arises.
The opportunity to steal.
The opportunity to imprison.
And the opportunity to kill.
I wonder what really is bad.
Have you ever thought that it's not
the living thing that is bad, but
the opportunity that is?
Or maybe it's the system that gives
that opportunity. If we don't fix
it, the same thing will happen
over and over again.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You're a good teacher.
Gennojo: Well, thanks. I'm sure that the
current system won't let us pass
even if we ask and say please.
Kagachi: Correct. Defeat me.
If you can.
Gennojo: Okay, then let's finish this
quickly. Do your thinking later,
Emilio.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You fight well...
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: People aren't bad; the opportunity
is. It's the system that's bad...
Is the system you're referring to
the social system?
Ow!
Gennojo: Don't say what you're thinking out
loud. Speak at the end, only when
you're sure of what you want to say.
Emilio: ...What about getting advice?
Gennojo: Did you want some advice?
Emilio: No... I got it.
I won't speak of it any more.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare?
What do you think of the nightmare
I've shown you?
They're well made. Don't you think?
Gennojo: How unexpected. Is one of your
objectives to show nightmares?
Tsukiko: Yes. And you two are the winners.
I'll give you a reward.
I'll give you any dream you want.
Gennojo: No thanks. He and I are suited to
cling to reality even if it means
vomiting blood in the process.
Emilio: I will fulfill my duty.
I don't need your prize.
Tsukiko: So valiant. ...Very well.
Let's find out if those words will
ring true.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let... reality crush you.
Gennojo: I think there's another round left.
So, what do you think? Was she
someone that needed to be killed?
Emilio: No...
Gennojo: Think about it some more.
-ENDING-
Gennojo: So this is the pitiful end for those
who are manipulated by the system...
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
Emilio: Are you telling me to change this
country?
Gennojo: Who knows.
Figure it out yourself.
It's your life, isn't it?
Emilio: Understood.
When you're an old man, I'll invite
you to this country once again.
Then you can see for yourself how I
changed the so-called system.
Gennojo: ...I look forward to it.
I won't live too long though, so
you'd better hurry.
Gennojo waved his hand and walked
away.

--C4. Emilio + Mihee--------------------------------------------------(em+mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: Traveling is a good thing.
Emilio: What am I doing here?
I'm royalty, you know.
Mihee: I don't know your country's dilemma.
But I need to buy a lot of perfume.
Okay, bag boy, let's get shopping.
Emilio: ...How did I end up like this?
(I was trying to remember the
incident to begin with.)
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: Why am I here?
Emilio: (Why don't you just go back to your
country if you're going to say
that...?)
Mihee: I can hear you.
Emilio: Aahh!
Mihee: Well, there's no use in grieving
over it. Let's get this over with
and do some sightseeing.
Emilio: (What a positive person.)
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Now, embraced by a new wind!
It's a brand-new, upgraded Yukari X!
I always get the hex I'm aiming for.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Ahahaha.
Emilio: (...It's another one.)
Mihee: You compared me to that stupid woman
just now, didn't you?
Emilio: Uh, no, I didn't.
Mihee: Fine, then let's fight.
You can help.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I am the illustion that you saw as a
young boy.
Emilio: What is this? This indescribable
feeling of pointless effort.
Mihee: It's because you don't play outside.
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: ...
Mihee: Don't look so depressed, little boy.
Just think of this as a game.
Emilio: I can't be that insincere.
Mihee: You're not very cute.
Emilio: I don't want to be cute.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You're a lively one, little boy.
Mihee: The brat's just trying to act
strong.
Emilio: No, I'm not.
Shikou: Then let's leave it at that.
Let's do battle.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: I imagine I was once like that a
long time ago.
Mihee: I don't think he's as foolish as
you.
Shikou: Indeed... I hope it works out.
-STAGE 3-
Mihee: What a splendid castle.
Don't you feel excited knowing
you're about to fly through here?
Emilio: ...Not at all. Though, I do think
it's kind of beautiful.
Mihee: You're not very obedient.
Emilio: You can't live life as royalty if
you're obedient.
Mihee: Then that's just like an assassin.
Emilio: ...They're about the same thing.
Both live off the sacrifice of
others.
Mihee: ...Thinking like that will make you
become just like someone I know.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An exciting wind is blowing.
I look forward to the future.
Mihee: You're my type of beautiful woman.
Emilio: What are you saying to someone you
just met?
Mihee: Are you jealous because I'm honest?
If you're jealous, just imitate.
Toss aside your rank.
Freedom: I agree with what she's saying.
Oh no, we have to fight, don't we?
Let's begin this battle.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Goodbye, little boy.
Become a good adult.
Mihee: You really are my type.
Freedom: Thank you...
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: ...A long time ago, there once was
someone who, without any doubt, took
over the family business.
This person thought it was honorable
to be the face of the underworld.
But that was a mistake.
The world is vast and deep.
So much that it's not necessary to
adhere to one particular thing.
Emilio: Are you talking about yourself?
Mihee: ...It could be anyone,
just don't be like that.
You're smart. Understand?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you training this boy?
Are you training him to not be like
you?
Is that going to make you feel like
you're free?
Mihee: ...
Emilio: Hey!
Don't speak ill of her!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: In order to be free... he must
fight...
Mihee: He'll fight as many times as it
takes in order to be free.
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: I'm sorry. I got angry a moment ago.
Mihee: ...If you're not royalty or an
assassin, it wouldn't be bad to show
your emotions. It's a good thing.
Emilio: ...What are you going to do when
this is over?
Mihee: You don't need to know.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome, one who trains fate.
And little boy.
This is the end.
Too bad, little boy. Your fate won't
change. Win or lose, you'll still be
alone. You'll still be abandoned.
Emilio: ...
Mihee: Saying goodbye is also a kind of
love. How do you expect to be free
if you fear it, Emilio?
Emilio: Yes, ma'am.
Mihee: Let's go.
Emilio: Yes, ma'am!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Mihee: It's over.
Emilio: ...No.
There's still more.
*crumble*
Mihee: ...At the end, you realized it more
quickly than a specialist like me.
Emilio: Did I pass?
Mihee: It depends on this battle.
-ENDING-
While Emilio thought that the dawn
was bright, he let out a smile.
Emilio: ...Where are you going now?
Mihee: I have one more day before I leave
this country.
Emilio: ...
Mihee: I'm going shopping.
Do you want to carry my bags?
Emilio: ...I'm royalty, you know?
Mihee: You're royalty that's free.
Emilio: Then I'll carry your bags.
Mihee: Good.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--C5. Emilio + Nagino-------------------------------------------------(em+na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: Until that day, that moment, I met
her, I was a mere brat that didn't
know anything.
The girl who taught me that was not
much different than me in age, but
she smelled of blood and flames.
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: Do you think you can just go right
into the Swan Castle? We should wait
for the others...
Nagino: I thought it was you a moment ago
that said adults were of no help.
Answer me, Emilio Stanburke.
Who's stronger, you or them?
Emilio: I am.
Nagino: Then what are you worried about?
Follow me.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand. It's Yukari
ver.2! I'm here to nuke your heart.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Nagino: You can fight me, but remember this.
I don't know back. I don't know
defeat. And I always eliminate any
obstacle that gets in my way.
You can surrender of get trampled
on. It's your privilege as the loser
to choose one.
Emilio: I'm not sure which is worse...
Nagino: Heh...
Yukari: How irritating. Yhat kind of talk is
so un-cute! You've pissed me off!
I'll make you cry uncle!
Nagino: Then trampled it is.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awww!
I've been trampled on!
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: ...You're strong.
What kind of demon did you make a
contract with?
Nagino: I'm just a normal person that's
found anywhere. I was born from
regular parents, the best kind.
Strength isn't determined by your
hardware or your position.
It's just like happiness.
Even some royalty are unhappy.
Emilio: Are you referring to me?
Nagino: How would I know?
Make your own conclusion.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You seem dignifed and accustomed to
giving orders. Are you of royal
upbringing?
Emilio: My name is Emilio Stanburke, the
Count of this country. Return my
people to me.
Nagino: My name is Mirai the Blue. I'm just
an ultimate and unrivaled regular
human.
Emilio: Uh, isn't your name Nagino?
Nagino: Women have all kinds of secrest.
Shikou: I am Shikou Mibuya. I am usually not
permitted to reveal my name...
But I am pleased to be able to fight
people of such esteem. Here I come!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Well done...
Nagino: I'm very obliged.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: Don't be angry.
It's childish.
Emilio: I am a child. But you're a child
too, aren't you? How unfair of you
to have not said anything.
Nagino: I have no intention of being that
friendly with you.
Emilio: That's what I'm saying is unfair.
It's a pity.
Nagino: A pity?
Emilio: ...Never mind.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: Don't fight, you two.
Get along now.
Nagino: This is the first time I've had the
enemy say that to me. You have my
thanks.
Emilio: It's not my fault. It's the fault of
the person betrayed me.
Nagino: If you want someone to confide in,
go buy a doll. But don't group dolls
and humans together.
Freedom: Don't be like that. You can't defeat
me unless you two work together.
Now, make up both of you.
Nagino: Thanks for the warning.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You two, get along now...
Nagino: What a kind enemy.
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: ...Why did you keep it a secret from
me? Did you think I would do
something bad?
Nagino: It's a hassle to explain myself.
Emilio: ...
Nagino: And I have no intention of getting
you mixed up in my battles. That
is all. The life I lead is dyed
in flames and blood.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You look strong.
Maybe even stronger than me.
Nagino: Then withdraw.
Kagachi: Thanks for the offer.
But I can't.
I will protect Tsukiko.
Nagino: I see. I'm sorry to hear that.
Then let's fight.
Emilio: Hey, wait! Isn't there another way?
Maybe we can talk it over.
Kagachi: You don't understand the feelings
of a warrior.
Nagino: If there's something worth fighting
for, there's no room for talk. Try
to understand. ...Sorry about that.
Kagachi: Don't worry about it.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Tsukiko...
Nagino: I'll send her to you soon.
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: Don't you have any feelings?
They seemed like good people.
You didn't even raise an eyebrow.
Nagino: Is what you're saying more important
than your people?
Emilio: Well...
Nagino: That's what a battle is. If you
don't like it, change the world.
Create a world where there are no
enemies and no allies. A world where
there's no need to fight.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: You defeated Kagachi.
Nagino: He was a fine warrior.
Tsukiko: ...I see.
Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Emilio: I don't know what your intentions
are, but please lay down your
weapon. I-I don't want to fight you.
Tsukiko: Haha, that's a lie. You just
don't want to let her fight, right?
Foolish child, she is the Queen of
Flames. A cursed child born to a
demon lord and a shrine maiden of
electronics. An arrow fated to
incinerate all. Forget about me.
There's no way that someone like
you can go on living and not
get killed.
Nagino: Is that all you have to say?
Then it's time to be trampled on.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Emilio: ...It's over.
Nagino: ...No, not yet.
I haven't fulfilled my duty yet.
*crumble*
Emilio: Wh-What is this?
Nagino: It's a parting gift.
If we die here, we won't be able to
save anybody. Keep that in mind.
-ENDING-
Emilio: ...Are you going already?
Nagino: I've done my duty.
Emilio: Why not stay here? You can go skiiing
in the winter and go sailing in the summer.
I... I want to be friends with you.
Nagino: If you want to be my friend, are you
prepared to abandon this country as
royalty?
Or are you prepared to kill with
conviction? Can you hurt others like
the ones we just encountered?
Emilio: That's...
Nagino: Then it's no use. If you want to
walk with me, you'll have to give up
everything.
Forget about me and live a happy
life. You weren't such a bad guy,
and neither was this country.
Emilio: Why do you travel?
Nagino: ...To take revenge on the fate that
abandoned my mother and me.
Nagino Ise disappeard, never to be
seen again, leaving Emilio all
alone.

-PROLOGUE-
Reika: Reika's in a bind. I accepted the
director's assignement... But, where
am I...? *sob*
Emilio: ...Umm, what are you doing?
I mean, I'd appreciate it if you
would let me through.
Reika: You're just in luck!
Emilio: Me?
Reika: Of course! It's good luck to meet a
beauty like me, right? So, umm, you
know where I can find Swan Castle?
Emilio: Uhh...
(Points quietly behind Reika.)
Reika: Huh? That building?
-STAGE 1-
Reika: Hehe, heheheh.
You're a big help.
Thanks.
Emilio: (What's with this person?)
Do you have business in the Swan
Castle? It isn't open to tourist.
Reika: Ah, me? Reika's here to solve the
incident. A couple is supposed to
have illict sexual relations here.
I'm gonna change that hisotry.
I'm not gonne let them have their
first kiss here.
Emilio: ...The incident in question here is
that there are a huge number of
missing persons.
Reika: Buh? That's strange. Are you saying
this is a diffcult case?
Alright, I'll do my best.
Emilio: ...
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Back by popular demand, it's Yukari
version Z! With a scent of love in
the air, I'm back, better than ever!
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Reika: Sorry, but ya know, Reika is Double Z--
Ah! Stop! What are you doing?
Emilio: Please stop it!
Yukari: Ahhh, how cuuute!
Who is this kid?
*squeal*
Reika: This is Reika's, so you can't have
him.
Emilio: I said please stop it!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why is it two against one?
Reika: It's the power of love.
Emilio: ...Please stop it.
-STAGE 2-
Reika: Do you have something you wanna talk
about, Emi? Big sis will listen to
you any time.
Emilio: (I bet this is what it feels like to
have a younger sister.)
No, umm, since we've come this far,
it'll be dangerous if we go back.
Keep quiet and come with me. Okay?
Reika: Aee you scared? Okay. Reika eats her
carrots, so she has good night
vision. I'll go with you.
Emilio: How did it come to this...?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: A girl and her younger brother here?
What has become of this world?
Withdraw. I will not pursue.
Emilio: I don't like being called the
younger brother.
Reika: Yeah. Reika isn't even born at this
point yet.
Shikou: ...My apologies.
Reika: Don't sweat it.
Shikou: ...
Reika: ...
Shikou: Um, do we really need to do battle?
This won't be easy for me.
Reika: This wouldn't be a very good game if
the boss ran away.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: I guess it was good it was just a
dream...
Reika: He said I was as beautiful as a
dream.
Emilio: What are you talking about...?
-STAGE 3-
Emilio: Got it? From now on, you can't go on
alone. Just stay behind me and try
not to get hurt.
Reika: You remind me of my boss when I was
a rookie, Emi.
Emilio: (I feel like an older brother.) When
I'm with you, I feel like... Hey!
Don't look at your notes when
someone's talking to you.
Reika: ...Ah, that's right.
Have you ever wanted to die, Emi?
Have you felt despair or lonliness?
Emilio: ...Do you think about things like
that?
Reika: Reika? Uh-uh.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: Hmhm, a wind that makes you want to
smile is blowing. It is a wind like
beautiful spring.
Today is a beautiful day.
Emilio: Why are there only weird
people here...?
Reika: I think it's better than
having bad people.
Freedom: You're right. Now then, shall we
fight? You know who I am,
don't you?
Reika: Reika? Uh-huh. You're a memory,
right? I think you're a memory of
the director.
Freedom: Correct.
Please tell this child later.
There's no need to worry about us.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: It really is... a good era now...
Emilio: Reika, you shouldn't think of
wanting to die.
If you're alive, something good is
bound to come your way. There might
be someone that needs you.
Reika: Reika feels a bit awkward.
I'm the one that's worried about
you.
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: So then, you're saying that the
castle itself, and the people in it,
is just a dream?
Reika: Uh-huh.
I think that everyone's fast asleep
by now.
Emilio: ...Why is there a castle like this?
Reika: The former loop of the Dream Park
System is probably still active.
This is a problem.
So you don't have to worry about
hurting people.
Emilio: I'm not worried about that!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: I see you're not alone.
Good for you.
Emilio: Good for...?
It's just more trouble for me.
Reika: Really? I think you're having a good
time too.
Emilio: That's... tree... but...
Kagachi: Heh, I'll eat you both.
You'll be together in my belly.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Reika: see ya.
Kagachi: You guys... are weird.
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: At any rate, don't think about
dying.
Reika: What about you, Emi?
Haven't you ever felt like wanting
to die?
Emilio: ...I would never think such a thing.
Reika: I see. Then, you're alright now.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome, funny girl and her little
brother.
Reika: Oh, that's funny!
Emilio: At least call us "the boy and his
younger sister"!
Tsukiko: I am the greatest nightmare.
Emilio: You're a nightmare alright...
Reika: Hey!
Hurry up and let's do this!
Reika's in serious mode!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: The nightmare is ceasing to be a
nightmare.
Reika: Well, we ended up changing history.
Tsukiko: Foolish child.
You should have stayed asleep
Emilio: The conversation's been stagnant for
a while now, Reika. Really now...
Reika: Uh-huh.
Let's get this last fight started.
-ENDING-
Emilio: It's finally over.
Reika: Uh-huh.
Emilio: I'm tired...
Reika: Yeah, I think I'll go home too.
Emilio: Huh? Ah, yes, of course.
Um... Would you...
Reika: Uh-uh.
My home is just a blink away.
Ah, I almost forgot.
I'll take your demon with me, Emi.
I'm sure it'll suit you better to be
a normal boy.
And if the History Security Police
come, keep this a secret, okay?
Reika did a few naughty things.
And also...
Reika kissed Emilio on the forehead.
Reika: I'm the big sister after all.
See ya.

--C7. Emilio + Munchausen----------------------------------------------(em+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Emilio: I was told that the person I'm
supposed to pair up with is a witch.
Munchausen: My lady said that she wasn't able
to fix her hair to her liking.
Emilio: Who are you?
Munchausen: My name is Munchausen. I have been
serving as the lady's butler for
many years. I've come on her behalf.
Emilio: ...I'm a little worried.
Munchausen: Leave everything to me.
-STAGE 1-
Emilio: There's the castle.
Excuse me, but I was told that the
person I'm supposed to pair up with
is a witch.
Munchausen: My lady said that she wasn't able
to fix her hair to her liking.
Emilio: Then, who are you?
Munchausen: My name is Munchausen. I have been
serving as the lady's butler for
many years. I've come on her behalf.
Emilio: ...I'm a little worried.
Munchausen: Leave everything to me.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Do you know why we can fly?
Emilio: ...It's because of our old blood.
A long time ago, there was once a
species of people that could fly.
Munchausen: There are those in this world
that can get things done with sheer will.
Blood and tradition have no meaning
under the blue sky. Remember that
when you go to hell.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Huh? Why? This guy's strong!
Munchausen: Please rest in peace.
-STAGE 2-
Emilio: ...Are you really a butler?
Munchausen: I am a versatile butler.
Emilio: You possess the old blood too?
Munchausen: ...A thing like that has no value.
Do not discriminate against other
people just because you can fly.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Limitless magic erupts from you.
Your power increases as time passes.
...You're certainly not human.
Emilio: I knew it. Are you a demon?
Munchausen: As I said, I am a versatile butler.
A long time ago, I swore my loyalty
to a certain witch.
If I were to say so, I guess I am a
demon without evil. I am neither
good nor evil. I am just a demon.
I am Fumiko's demon, Muncahusen.
Remember that when you go to hell.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: The old gods' power is to be feared,
young lad. To work with them is
treason against mankind...
Munchausen: Silence.
Go to hell quietly.
-STAGE 3-
Emilio: ...You're very strong.
Munchausen: It is one's heart that is, Master
Emilio. Do not fear power, but
fear the darkness in one's heart.
There are humans stronger than me.
There are greater demons weaker than
me. That is the nature of power.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: It's so nice to fly. I wonder how
the common people feel?
Munchausen: Milady, that arrogance is what
destroyed the Oma.
Freedom: They were destroyed because the
blue betrayed then. No, it was Shiyone
that betrayed them. My husband who
left me and fell in love with a
commoner.
Munchausen: ...
Freedom: Isn't that right, eastern wind that
protects the four directions?
The blue who is a deep blue liar.
Munchausen: All must become blue in the presence
of the deep blue. Remember that when
you go to hell.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: How lucky...
-STAGE 4-
Emilio: ...What were you talking to her
about?
Munchausen: It was something that people who
live in the present do not need to
know or need to remember.
Yes... We fought so that we could be
forogtten.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: There is an old legend.
When the most powerful mystical
beast,
the dancing doll, was persuaded by a
princess and sided with the humans,
the four pillars of Arada followed.
I wonder what became of the water
dragon that governed the eastern
winds.
Munchausen: The water dragon's domain is not the
eastern winds. The one that governs
the 880,000 is the tunderbird.
Kagachi: The bird of lightning was said to
have burned to ash, but was revived
by gaining new wings.
It was said to be more powerful than
the water dragon.
Munchausen: It is not even strong enough to
withstand the punch of a regular
woman.
That is not what strength is about.
Remember that when you go to hell.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: So this is strength.
Munchausen: Not at all.
-STAGE 5-
Emilio: I wonder what strength is.
Munchausen: It is a specialty that has no real
meaning.
Emilio: I always wanted to be stronger.
Munchausen: Justice and love also have no
meaning in much the same way.
It is up to the individual.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
No, perhaps you are the nightmare,
legendary demon thunderbird.
Munchausen: Master Emilio, what do you intend to
gain by becoming stronger? New foes?
Or the enmity of fallen enemies?
Emilio: ...
Munchausen: You must strive to gain strength
with meaning.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Don't think you can win because
of this...
Munchausen: Of course not.
Emilio: Look at that!
-ENDING-
Munchausen: It's over.
Emilio: ...Hey, did the legendary
thunderbird really get stronger?
Munchausen smiled and gently started
walking.
Munchausen: It is quite a long story.
I will begin with how we how we first found
our home...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--D1. Fumiko + Roger--------------------------------------------------(fu+ro)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Fumiko: Roger, do you know where my Kohtaro
is?
Roger: (Huh?)
Haha, if you're referring to my
Kohtaro, I don't know where he is.
Fumiko: (Hmph...)
What's with you?
You can't even bear children.
Roger: Tsukiko is in charge of that.
Fumiko: ...I'm getting a headache.
Are you serious?
Roger: I hate strange people trying to get
with Kohtaro, but since Tsukiko is
family, I have no problem with that.
Fumiko: That's an even bigger problem!
-STAGE 1-
Fumiko: This isn't good.
Since that last incident, I think
those two have gotten closer.
Roger: Yes, it is indeed very dangerous.
The not-so-beloved Sayo's chastity
is in danger.
Fumiko: Don't you think we should work
together?
Roger: That's probably a good idea.
(It can't be helped for now...)
Fumiko: (I'll just kill him when I get a
chance.)
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: What? They're not cosplaying as me,
but as Fumiko and Roger?
I guess you still haven't grasped
the concept of the World of Castle
Shikigami.
Roger: It lookes like the enemy.
Fumiko: Even if she wasn't, it would be
better to think of her as the enemy.
I have no clue what she's saying,
but it's irrtating.
(Not as much as you though.)
Roger: Agreed.
(Though she's not as bad as you,
who's always flirting with Kohtaro.)
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Fumiko: It looks like you didn't know...
Roger: But the truth is...
Fumiko: (I'm the most popular...)
Roger: (I am the most popular...)
Yukari: How awful!
-STAGE 2-
Roger: When this is over...
Fumiko: What?
Roger: (I'm going to go and play with
Kohtaro.)
Fumiko: (I'm going to play with Kohtaro...)
Roger: No, for now we just need to survive.
Fumiko: You're right.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I can't believe you guys made it
here first.
Fumiko/Roger:?
Shikou: I thought that Sayo and the young man
left before you... Are they taking
their time, or on a rendezvous
Fumiko: Wha...!?
Roger: Gaaah.
Fumiko: L-Let's take this guy down quickly.
Roger: I-I agree.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: What is this strength...!?
Roger: The power of love!
Yes, the love for Kohtaro.
Fumiko: You're revealing the truth.
You're so stupid.
-STAGE 3-
Fumiko: I want to give you a bloody death,
but...
Roger: You've got some nerve.
But...
Fumiko: Unfortunately, we don't have
the luxury right now.
(I'll kill you later.)
Roger: We have to hurry.
(I'll defeat you later.)
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A turbulant wind is blowing.
What the...?
Roger: Get out of our way!
Fumiko: Stepmother, would you mind getting
out of our way?
Freedom: Umm, I was hoping that you would be
at least a bit more surprised to see
me.
Fumiko: Nothing else matters when I have a
man on the line. Just get out our
way. You'll be sorry if you don't.
Freedom: Liar! You're a liar!
You've already started to use your
magic!
Fumiko: I'm pressed for time!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Roger: You should have taken your time and
talked wth your mother.
Fumiko: I haven't aged enough yet to ponde
the past.
Freedom: I don't think that's the point.
Ohhh, what a world...! What a world!
-STAGE 4-
Fumiko: How far are we?
Roger: We're just a little over half way.
Fumiko: Let's hurry.
Roger: Double time!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: So you ca--Oogh!
Fumiko: Hurry it up with the introductions.
Kagachi: Aren't you out of time already?
If a man and a woman are together
and have 25 minu--Oogh!
Roger: Hey! This title is ported to a game
console in the home!
Kagachi: I think you should just head back.
Roger: Huh!?
Fumiko: There's no such thing as retreat in
my vocabulary. Roger, let's commence
Conquer and Advance!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You never admit your mistakes, do
you?
Fumiko: I've never made any. If there is a
mistake, it's the world that made
it.
-STAGE 5-
Roger: ...
Fumiko: ...
Roger: Hahaha...
Fumiko: Hmhmhm...
Fumiko/Roger (Time's up... Time's up...
Time's up...!)
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Roger: Hahaha...
Fumiko: Hmhmhm...
Tsukiko: They're already broken before we
even got started. This is going to
be difficult... *sigh* Well, I guess I
better do it anyway...
Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Roger: This is a nightmare all right...
...Huh? Fumiko?
Fumiko: Greatest also means the last, right?
Wait, this is a nightmare...
Yes, a nightmare.
If I burn this girl to death, I'm
sure I'll wake up, and everything
will be back to normal.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...The nightmare has just begun.
Fumiko: There's no greater nightmare than
this!
Roger: Yes, that's for sure. At any rate,
you appear to be Tsukiko's impostor.
Tsukiko: Why are you bringing that up now?
-ENDING-
The two run off without even
observing the crumbling castle.
Fumiko: Let's hurry.
Roger: Agreed!
Fumiko: (I should control this ninja with my
magic and kill Sayo. It'll be like
killing two birds with one stone.
Roger: (I should egg on this witch and
come to their rescue.)
Fumiko: Hahahaha!
Roger: Haahaha!
The two move off into the distance.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--D2. Fumiko + Gennojo------------------------------------------------(fu+ge)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Gennojo: This is awful. I'm rolling down a
path of destruction.
Fumiko: You sound like you're reading a
script. Stop acting like a bad
actor.
Gennojo: It's your fault!
Fumiko: Are you talking about the money I
lent you? Or is about your rent
I paid.
Gennojo: O-Of course, it's all thanks to you,
Fumiko.
-STAGE 1-
Fumiko: Now, why don't we take a look around
our new home?
Gennojo: What do you mean?
Fumiko: Oh, are you going to embarrass a
woman?
Gennojo: Aren't you too old to be embarrassed
about anything?
Fumiko: I saw on TV that they've been
aggressively going after overdue
rent recently.
Gennojo: Ha, haha. Of course, I'll go with
you. We wouldn't want that, now
would we, Miss Landlady?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Huh? Aren't you that private
investigator? What are you doing
around here?
Gennojo: The part-timer at the flower shop?
What are you doing here?
Hey, why aren't you at school?
Yukari: I ditched class, of course! There
was an ad to be boss of this stage,
so I took it. It pays pretty well.
Gennojo: Is that so?
Fumiko: That high-pitched voice is loud and
annoying. Gennojo, take care of her.
Gennojo: ...You want me to do what?
Fumiko: Rent...
Gennojo: Damn. I feel like crying.
I mean, no hard feelings.
Just die.
Yukari: This happens to be my job.
I'll make you cry uncle!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Uncle! Uncle!
Gennojo: I'm kind of worried that she's
getting dumber and dumber every time
she gets hit.
Fumiko: Why don't you take responsibility
then?
Gennojo: Don't tease pure old me.
-STAGE 2-
Gennojo: What beatutiful scenery.
Fumiko: It sure is.
Gennojo: Why do we have to fight in such a
place? We should just enjoy the
view.
Fumiko: ...True. But I guess that's just the
nature of a Yaoto.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Doesn't it make you feel like
fighting because the scenery is so
beautiful?
Gennojo: ...Listening in on other people's
conversations? That's not very
polite.
Fumiko: There are times where one would
fight for a beautiful woman.
So Gennojo, sic him.
Gennojo: I'm a wolf.
Don't treat me like a pet dog...
Fumiko: Rent...
Gennojo: Arf, arf!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: How miserable.
Gennojo: Shut up.
Fumiko: That's pretty much the extent of a
man's happiness.
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: I dreaded that day. I dreamed of
that day. The day the rent is
collected, the 3rd of each month.
Fumiko: What are you getting all poetic
about? You're such an annoying man.
A beautiful woman is collecting your
rent. You should be happy. I know,
sing a song about how happy you are.
Gennojo: No way.
Fumiko: Why don't you just live with me and
Kotaro at the mansion?
Gennojo: No! Anything but that!
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: So you made it, my personal sin.
Gennojo: What?
Fumiko: ...Stepmother?
Gennojo: Wait, so is she an old woman?
Fumiko/Freedom: Shut up.
Gennojo: *gag*
Freedom: ...You still call me that, I see.
Fumiko: ...
Hmhmhmhm, today's a good day
I get another chance to kill you.
I'm so happy, I'm crying.
Freedom: ...You still think of that person...
Fumiko: Men are all mine, Stepmother.
Hurry and go back to hell.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: ...Naughty girl...
Gennojo: Hey, shouldn't you have raised her
to be a little easier on collecting
the rent?
-STAGE 4-
Gennojo: You called her "stepmother." I didn't
know you were married. Shouldn't you
be taking care of your husband?
Fumiko: What are you talking about?
That's my stepmother.
She took me in and raised me.
Gennojo: And you beat the crap out of her?
Fumiko: We both fell in love with the same
man. All woman are enemies then.
Kill the enemy.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: So you made it, one who has the
pride of a wolf.
Gennojo: You'd understand if you lived in a
rental apartment too.
Fumiko: There's nothing strange about a
witch using a wolf to do her
bidding.
Kagachi: Is that all you have to say?
Fumiko: Such an insolent one...
Fine, I'll just kill you.
Gennojo, get him.
Gennojo: I'd personally like to persuade you
more. I'm not too thrilled about
that, so I wanna make that point clear.
Fumiko: Rent...
Gennojo: Aahh! I have no choice!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Gennojo: I want you to know one thing.
Kagachi: What is it?
Gennojo: I'm not doing this bcause I want to
either.
Fumiko: You became a loser the moment you
tried to understand the enemy.
-STAGE 5-
Gennojo: But the realtors said that the
apartment manager was beautiful...
Fumiko: I am beatufiul.
Gennojo: They said the landlady was supposed
to be nice.
Fumiko: I'm very kindhearted.
Gennojo: They say, the plainer the woman,
the fiercer the love.
Fumiko: Anyone who says that should be
dragged out into the street and
shot.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Gennojo: It truly is a nightmare.
Fumiko: I'll drag you out into the street.
Gennojo: If I rented a castle like this, I'd
be broke in a month.
Fumiko: You subtly evaded the point, didn't
you? Alright, young women are
irritating, so go execute her.
Gennojo: The reason to take her out is like
a nightmare.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: All you can do is control people
with money and objects...
Fumiko: Oh, I have my body as well.
Gennojo: If a man gets involved with her
haphazardly, she'll swallow his like
whole.
Tsukiko: I wonder if yo can still keep on
joking after this...
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Fumiko: Oh, finished already?
You're not so tough.
Gennojo: I'm tired.
I just want to sleep now.
Fumiko: That's fine with me.
I'll let you sleep on my lap.
Gennojo: No. I'm fine. I'm gonna go back to
the hotel, lock the door, turn back
into a wolf, and go to sleep.
Fumiko: Why don't you just give in?
It won't be so bad serving me.
Gennojo: No. I have my friendship.
I can't betray Kim.
Fumiko: She can stay with me also.
Kohtaro is number one, of course.
Gennojo: ...No thank you.
I think you're actually serious this
time.
Fumiko: Suit yourself, I'm not in a hurry
anyway. You'll at least have lunch
with me, won't you?
I'm sure you can't read German.
It'll be my trest.
..Gennojo's face became miserably
distorted. He had lost to the
promise of food.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--D3. Fumiko + Mihee--------------------------------------------------(fu+mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: I just want to let you know,
there are two types of people I
don't like: women, and women who
act flirtatiously.
Fumiko: Hmm. So what about it?
Mihee: You're both.
Fumiko: Oh, those standards seem to denounce
yourself. I guess hating yourself
also causes you to hate others.
Mihee: ...I hate smart women too.
Fumiko: I'm glad.
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: It's distateful to build a castle
on a lake.
Fumiko: It's not unusual to use a river
or lake as a natural moat.
At least not here.
However, this place is like a villa,
so it might have been built for
evening parties on boats.
It's not leaning, so the foundation
seems to be solid. It looks like
it's late 17th century.
Mihee: We're going to destroy it anyway.
Who cares?
Fumiko: I'm explaining this because it's
gonna be destroyed. You can't look
at it again one it's destroyed, can you?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: A beautiful woman has appeared from
the desk drawer. The super-cute
angel, Yukari Mark 2, has arrived!
Now that I'm here, I won't let you
do as you please.
Mihee: ...
Fumiko: Aren't you glad? This one looks like
she's for you. You don't like her,
right? Why don't you try liking her?
Mihee: No, this is just too muhc.
Yukari: Are you moved?
Fumiko: Maybe amazed.
Mihee: What a pity.
Yukari: What do you mean by that?
Fine! I'll take you down!
Prepare yourself.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awww...
Two against one isn't fair!
Mihee: I'm sure women who talk like that
get the cold shoulder.
Fumiko: It's pitiful becase she doesn't
even realize it... It sound like
you have some issues too.
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: I hope we don't get another woman
like her next time.
Fumiko: If we do, that's fine as well.
We can probably take it easy then.
Mihee: Not-at-all. I get a headache
whenever I deal with someone like
that. I prefer a normal enemy.
Fumiko: Like a handsome man?
Mihee: Is that all you think about?
Fumiko: No. I'm just teasing you.
I only have the hots for one man.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Fumiko: 70 points.
Mihee: You have bad taste.
It's more like 40 points.
Fumiko: The lowest score I give is
70 points.
Shikou: I'm not sure what you meant,
but I know I've been insulted.
Prepare yourselves, women!
Mihee: See? You've made him angry.
That's why I was against it.
Fumiko: Oh, you say that, but you seem to
be on a roll.
Mihee: We'll continue this after the
battle!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Oh my!
Fumiko: What's he so surprised about?
-STAGE 3-
Fumiko: He wasn't that tough.
I want to take a shower.
Mihee: ...
Don't you get sick of it?
Fumiko: Of what?
Mihee: Uh, well, um, men always try to
show how great they are.
Don't you end up disliking it?
Fumiko: The men I fall in love with
are terrible at showing off.
If they pretend to be tough,
they do it in a different situation.
Mihee: Such as?
Fumiko: Well, when they're sad.
If you're going to fall in love,
that kind of guy is best.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A kind wind is blowing.
So even you can play a wind like
this, Odette.
Mihee: Who is this woman?
Fumiko: The person that raised me... No.
Probably... an illusion or a way
to revive the dead.
Freedom: You seem calm.
Fumiko: You're the one that taught me to be.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You're no longer the little Odette
I used to know.
Fumiko: You're right.
She died a long time ago.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: Was it okay to defeat her?
Fumiko: It's better than having her be
controlled by someone.
She's not that kind of person.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: So you made it.
Mihee: 30 points.
Fumiko: I say 70 points.
Your points have decreased.
...Why?
Mihee: He doesn't look very smart.
Men should be intelligent.
Fumiko: Oh, a glasses fetish...
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Should I have worn glasses then?
Fumiko: No, don't even bother.
Kagachi: I see...
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: What's with this place, anyway?
There are too many weird people
here.
Fumiko: One thing for sure is that they
weren't selected for their fighting
skills.
Hmmm... I got it!
Mihee: Did you find something?
Fumiko: I won't be sure until I verify it.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: So you're the ring leader.
Fumiko: No, I don't this so.
And she's not the greatest.
Tsukiko: ...You've got good senses.
Fumiko: You're just saying greatest so that
you can make people think that,
right?
You may be the last, but you aren't
the greatest.
Mihee: So, what are we going to do?
Fumiko: The same as usual.
We'll first conquer.
Everything else comes later.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...This is the end.
Fumiko: ...
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Mihee: It's over.
The castle is crumbling.
Fumiko: No, not yet.
Fumiko crushes a small ball in her
hand.
Fumiko: Now it's over.
Mihee: And that was?
Fumiko: A device that makes you dream.
It's been making everyone dream.
Mihee: I see...
Um, I'm sorry.
Fumiko: For what?
Mihee: I was looking down on you.
Fumiko: I'd forgotten about that. Anyway,
let's get some rest. We should be
able to sleep now without dreaming.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--D4. Fumiko + Nagino-------------------------------------------------(fu+na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: It looks like everyone was caught
and is sleeping in that castle.
Fumiko: I can't believe they got caught by
such an old-school spell.
Nagino: Hmm, a large scale sleep cube
depends on the person...
Fumiko: It won't affect me.
Nagino: You're not a dreamer.
-STAGE 1-
Fumiko: As long as you're here, it looks
like I can just sit back and watch.
Nagino: Hey, that's not fair.
Let's fight together.
Fumiko: You're a difficult little girl.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Long time no see!
Nagino: Who are you?
Fumiko: Who are you?
Munchausen: It's Miss Yukari Horiguchi.
She was at the Twisted Castle.
Fumiko: Hmm. So she's someone that's been
crushed by me?
Yukari: Wha... Who got crushed!?
Look at you!
You even had a kid now!
Fumiko: You couldn't have a kid even if you
wanted to. You don't even have a
boyfriend. On top of that, it looks
like you've been demoted.
I feel sorry for you.
Hmmhmhmhm.
Nagino: Let's hurry and defeat her and move
on. I'm getting bored.
Yukari: You both have a nasty mouth.
I'm gonna make you both say uncle!
Fumiko: Hmm, that's a nice word.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Fumiko: Uncle.
Nagino: Uncle.
Okay. Well, buh-bye now.
Yukari: This sucks!
-STAGE 2-
Fumiko: That idiot was unbelievable.
Nagino: Don't you think she was kind of
cute?
Fumiko: Then why don't you take her with
you on your journey?
Nagino: That's impossible.
The road I'm taking is painted with
blood and it's hard to tread.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: The Road to the Abyss, huh?
Nagino: Hey, is this man handsome?
Fumiko: No. He's the type that lives in his
own delusions, is good for nothing
and probably can't persevere.
Shikou: Hey, you're subtly sating bad things
about me, aren't you?
Fumiko: I guess you've never heard a
conversation between two girls.
That's why I said you're delusional.
Shikou: What!?
Fumiko: Ahahahaha.
Shikou: You call yourself a girl with a face
like that?
Fumiko: I'm going to kill you. Munchausen,
commence targeting laser. Don't even
let his ashes remain.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: I can't believe I'm being killed for
such a stupid reason.
Fumiko: There are some things that people
say to a woman that allows her to
kill them.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: There are some things that people
say to a woman that allows her to
kill them...
Come to think of it, the person that
raised me used to say the same
thing.
Fumiko: She sounds like a wonderful person.
Nagino: Uh-huh.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: You're still not married yet...
Fumiko: I can't just choose one man.
All men in this world are mine.
Kohtaro is special, of course.
Nagino: Who is this person?
Freedom: Thank you for taking care of my
daughter.
Fumiko: It's an illusion that looks exactly
like someone I used to know.
Nagino: Should I defeat her for you?
Fumiko: Don't bother.
We'll fight as usual.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: ...
Fumiko: Goodbye, Stepmother.
You were a good woman.
Even now, I think of how good it
would've been if we didn't fall in
love with the same person.
-STAGE 4-
Nagino: Fumiko, you really were fond of your
mother.
Fumiko: It's over now, and it was a long
time ago. It was so long ago, it
might've not even been me.
Nagino: I wonder if I'm gonna talk that way
about my mother some day...
</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
Fumiko: As your mentor, I suggest that,
when it happens, don't hesitate.
End it in one blow. That's the best.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: A mother and her daughter.
Fumiko: I don't mind that, but I wouldn't do
her real mother justice. I'm just a
chaperone. One that smells of blood.
Kagachi: Why do you fight?
Nagino: To kill the father that abandoned
us. And today, just for the heck of
it.
Fumiko: Because it seems like fun.
Kagachi: You're honest, but that's not a very
respectable reason.
Fumiko: People don't have deep reasons to
kill each other all the time.
That's just the way people are.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I've been kind of defeated.
Nagino: I don't think you said that
correctly.
-STAGE 5-
Nagino: Hey, what does it feel like living
so long? Aren't you lonely?
Fumiko: I'm not sure.
I've ever lived any other way, so I
don't know.
I can say I once met a man that
lived a very long time, but he was
boring.
A man that dies in less than 150
years is a lot better.
...That's what I think.
Everyone probably has the same
amount of radiance in their life.
It either shines brightly in a
single moment, or it merely
flickers for a long time.
Nagino: Is it better to shine brightly in a
single moment?
Fumiko: Who knows?
There are times when you want
someone to live a long time, even if
it doesn't mean shining brightly.
Even I don't have the answer to that.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares,
cursed women of noir and rouge.
Who's blood do you want today?
Fumiko: That's an old beauty treatment.
Nagino: All I want to do is press the
win button.
Tsukiko: I guess there's no choice but to
fight.
Fumiko/Nagino: *sigh*
Tsukiko: Well, this is that kind of castle
after all. Now, if you want to wake
everybody, you'll have to ight!
Fumiko: Isn't there an easier way?
I wouldn't mind if you would just
hang yourself.
Nagino: I'd prefer the win button.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: If that's the case, I'll have to
fight with this.
Fumiko: What a stubborn woman.
You're stepping in a mine field.
Nagino: ...
-ENDING-
Fumiko: It's over.
...Huh You don't look so happy.
Is something wrong?
Nagino: That woman looked like my mom.
No, not just my mom, she also looked
like me. That's why...
Fumiko: You shouldn't be that way.
It's okay if you do something bad,
but losing is out of the question.
Nagino: I get it.
You just have to win.
Fumiko: Yes.
And so, Nagino Ise came one step
closer to become an adult.
A terrible, terrible adult.

--D5. Fumiko + Reika--------------------------------------------------(fu+re)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
The future.
The setting, Nakano.
Reika: I-If I get demoted any more, my rank
well be lower than a police dog.
Fumiko: Just go eat some dog food.
Or else...
Reika: Aaaahhh!
I'll do it! I'll do it!
Fumiko: ...Good girl.
-STAGE 1-
Present day.
Reika: Aaaahhh, the director is here!
I'll do it. This time, I'll really,
really do it.
So please, please don't demote me
any more.
Fumiko: What's she talking about...?
What a strange girl.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Tadah. Hey, listen, you guys.
Well, you don't have to if you
don't want to.
But I've been asked out on my first
date!
Hey, hey!
Isn't that mazaing?
Fumiko: It must suck to be unpopular.
...At any rate, what a strange girl.
Can you figure her out?
Reika: Hmm, Reika thinks it's probably a
residual will or holomodel.
Huh? But isn't the director an
authority on the subject?
Like the Mars Independence War..?
Fumiko: What are you talking about? *sigh*
Is the castle emitting some sort of
radio wave that makes everyone stupid?
No matter, it's all the
same if I kill them.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Reika: Auauauauu.
Why didn't we arrest her?
Fumiko: Because it's easier and more fun to
kill her, of course. We aren't the
police, you know.
Reika: Huh?
But isn't the director at the top?
-STAGE 2-
Reika: Hmm.
Fumiko: You don't look very smart.
You'll get tired if you think too
hard.
Reika: Hmm. Hmmm...
(I'm sure this director isn't lying.
But the director in the future
doesn't lie either.)
Fumiko: What are you clapping your hands
for?
Reika: Ah, I see. You're not the director.
You're someone else.
Fumiko: Didn't I say I didn't know
anyone like that?
Reika: Reika is so smart.
Fumiko: ..Uh-huh.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: You look tired. I would have liked
to battle you if you were at full
strength.
Fumiko: Don't worry. I just have a headache
because of my not-so-bright friend.
Reika: Where is she?
Fumiko: See what I mean?
Shikou: I see. I may be the enemy, but let
me just say that I feel your pain.
Fumiko: I guess I should say thank you.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Even if people call you stupid...
Live strongly.
Reika: Milk?
Fumiko: That's "It does a body good."
*sigh* Never mind.
-STAGE 3-
Reika: Reika's grades in school aren't that
bad, other than math.
Fumiko: I wonder why you were bad a tmath.
Reika: The instructor was mean and wouldn't
let me count with my fingers.
Fumiko: Bwahahahaha.
Hah, not bad.
You made me laugh out loud.
Reika: If I can use my fingers, I can count
to at least 60 digits.
Fumiko: Ahhahaha. I like you.
What's your name?
Reika: Reika Kirishima.
Fumiko: I'll remember that.
Reika: (Ah, the director was cute during
this time period.)
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A mysterious wind is blowing.
You are... not of this time period.
Reika: I get the feeling you aren't either.
You're probably from long ago.
Yeah, from the director's memories.
Fumiko: Munchausen, analyze it.
Munchausen: There's no mass detected.
Fumiko: ...I guess you're not just stupid.
Reika, we're going to fight.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You've become strong.
Fumiko: I'm not who I used to be,
Stepmother.
-STAGE 4-
Fumiko: why are you crying?
Reika: Because, that person was your
mother.
Fumiko: That's no reson for you to cry.
And that's just an illusion.
Now, won't you tell me? Why do you
keeep calling me director, and how
did you figure out the illusion?
Reika: Uh, uhh, well, the rules say that I
can't...
Fumiko: I don't care about any rules that
don't benefit me. Hey, don't run
away!
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You're very fast.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Reika: Because someone very scary is after
me.
Fumiko: You really know how to keep me
entertained.
Fine, I'll start filing down your
fingers for 3 days and 3 nights and
kill you slowly. Stay right there.
Rei Aiiiiiieeee!
Kagachi: I don't know whether I should save
her or not. No, I'll just let them
fight and eath both of them after.
Fumiko: You're a conveniently thinking
enemy.
Reika: (She's not much different from the
director...)
Fumiko: Geh!
Reika: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Not the file!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...My plan... failed.
Fumiko: It's unfortunate that you're the
only one that's going to die.
-STAGE 5-
Reika: Please forgive me.
Fumiko: You really are an amusing girl.
Very well.
The enemy is getting stronger, so
let's stop playing. From now on,
I'll focus on killing the enemy.
Reika: (Auauau, she's a bad person.)
Fumiko: You have something to say?
Reika: No! Nothing at all!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
This is the end for you, first
degree time criminal, Time Gal.
Reika: I said I'm with the History Security
Police! Buh? How do you know that?
...Hmmm...
Fumiko: Why are you counting your fingers!?
Reika: Reika's thinking.
...I see.
This is from the future as well.
This is the Dream Park System.
Fumiko: What do you mean?
Reika: It's an attraction from the future
that was prohibited by law since it
was so dangerous.
Fumiko: So the enemy is an amusement park
from the future?
Reika: Yes.
Fumiko: ...Whatever. My life is about
killing and moving forward.
I'll believe you, so help me.
Reika: Yes, ma'am!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let reality crush you...!
Reika: Aaaaah! What is this?
Fumiko: I see. A dream demon has taken over
a machine from the future. When it
comes to war, nothing beats reality.
Fighting an illusion is spoiling the
fun. Munchausen! The target is the
enemy straight ahead.
Munchausen: Yes, milady.
-ENDING-
The castle crumbled away.
Fumiko: So, how are into the future did you
come from?
Reika: ...About a thousand years.
Fumiko: So that's where the future me,
the director, is...
Reika: But, she might not be you.
Fumiko: Why's that?
Reika: The director is a terrible person,
but she always values life first...
Fumiko: You're saying she's different from
cold-hearted old me?
Reika: No, not the file!
Fumiko: I won't kill you.
Hmm, I never imaigined Kohtaro would
influence me so much.
I bet we're going to get together.
I might change my impression of him.
Uh, Reika? Where are you?
Reika remembered the director's
assignment she totally forgot about.
She abruptly time jumps.
Munchausen: She's gone.
Fumiko: She came to save me, huh?
Not really.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--D6. Fumiko + Munchausen---------------------------------------------(fu+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Kohtaro: Yeeeaow! Fumiko!
Time out! Time out!
Fumiko: Don't panic just because I'm in your
bed. Just relax and enjoy the action
we'll be having together.
Kohtaro: Like that'll happen!
Fumiko: You let Sayo in your room.
Kohtaro: Yeah, but I'm in a sleeping bag with
restraints!
Fumiko: Oh, that sounds like fun too.
Kohtaro: What's fun about that!?
Now, please leave! I mean it!
Fumiko: Fine, I'm leaving!
You don't have to ask!
You **** bastard...!
-STAGE 1-
Fumiko: What a boring night. I'm tired of
teasing Kohtaro, and this Alcaland
countryside isn't very elegant.
Munchausen, prepare my clothes.
The Swiss ones.
We're going for a walk.
Munchausen: Certainly, milady.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: That super-beautiful and popular
girl is back!
Fumiko: Is she talking about me, Munchausen?
Munchausen: I believe so, milady.
Yukari: Hold on, old bag.
Fumiko: It's time for some killing.
Munchausen. Prepare to fire.
Munchausen: Yes, milady.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I'm not finished talking yet!
How rude!
Fumiko: There are some things that people
say to a woman that allows her to
kill them.
-STAGE 2-
Fumiko: Destroying a castle just for the
heck of it is just what a merciless
conquerer would do. This feels good.
Munchausen: Indeed, milady.
Fumiko: Well then, let's enjoy that role.
Munchausen, advance and conquer.
Munchausen: As you wish.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: A powerful foe has arrived.
Fumiko: Oh, you look pretty strong yourself.
Shikou: ...Not for me.
For Sayo Yuuki.
Fumiko: ...Who's that, Munchausen?
Munchausen: She is Kohtaro Kuga's current
shikigami.
Fumiko: Ahhh, that's right. I forgot about
her. But, I'm very kind to ornamanets
and accessories.
Shikou: ...You hide your true intentions
well. Very well. Enough talk.
Let us do battle.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: You're strong...!
Fumiko: I don't know how old you are, but 50
or 60 is still just a child.
-STAGE 3-
Munchausen: Milady, it's time for you to get
some rest.
Fumiko: I think I'm going to stay up
tonight, Munchausen.
Munchausen: It's bad for your beauty treatment.
Fumiko: I'm going to be a bad girl tonight.
You don't mind, do you?
Munchausen: Well then, we should hurry on our
way.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: I see you're still a troublemaker
as usual.
Fumiko: ...Step...mother?
Wha... There's no way.
Freedom: You still call me that, I see.
I'm here to scold you. You're still
frolicking around wih men...
Fumiko: This is really well-made.
Munchausen: I'm not so sure about that.
She doesn't seem to know who I am.
Fumiko: Oh well, no matter. It'll feel good
to beat down something that looks so
openly like my mother.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You disrespectul child...
Fumiko: Like music to my ears.
It would have been nicer to hear it
from my real mother.
-STAGE 4-
Fumiko: I wonder how it works.
It seemed way off target for aiming
at me.
Munchausen: I don't think it was just aiming at
one person.
Fumiko: Dividing without conquering?
What an unusual enemy.
Is she mocking us?
Munchausen: I can't imagine one with so much
magical power would have such a low
intellect.
Fumiko: Then maybe it has no intellect to
begin with.
Munchausen: Perhaps.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You came.
Fumiko: I wonder who this one is for.
Munchausen: We don't have enough information.
Kagachi: ...Ignoring me, huh?
You're dangerous.
I'll defeat you quickly.
Fumiko: What accent is that?
Munchausen: It seems pretty close to that of
Master Hyuga's country.
Fumiko: Well, I guess it doesn't matter
if you kill them. Let's advance,
Munchausen.
Munchausen: Agreed, milady.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Uggghhh...
Fumiko: You put up a bit of a fight.
-STAGE 5-
Munchausen: You should really get some rest
soon.
Fumiko: Do you want us to go back?
Munchausen: No, at this rate we can get back
faster if we move forward.
Fumiko: Yes, that's probably better.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your...
Fumiko: I guess we can kill a little more
time. What's your name? I'll put you
on my list of people I've killed.
Tsukiko: You've got very poor taste.
...My name is Tsukiko.
Fumiko: ...So you're the women Kohtaro
escaped to.
Hmm.
Hmhmhm, it's good staying up late.
I have a bonus prize.
Munchausen!
Commence Compete Devastation!
Panter Vo!
Tsukiko: Aaaah! What kind of reason is that
to fight!?
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: How... How cruel...
Fumiko: Aahahaha! Amazing! You're just
amazing! You're like Remagen's
foolish American military.
Tsukiko: ...
Fumiko: Huh? What? I can't hear you!
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Fumiko: Another all-nigther, huh?
It's not good for the skin.
Munchausen: Indeed, milady.
Fumiko: ...Is there something else?
Munchausen: ...No.
We should hurry back.
Fumiko: I understand.
...But if you have something to say,
just come out and say it.
Munchausen: The way you got angry at the end...
I can see that you truly do fancy
Kohtaro.
Fumiko: Mmhmhm. Yes.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--E1. Roger + Gennojo-------------------------------------------------(ro+ge)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: Being here together like this...
Gennojo: What?
Roger: ...makes me want to say,
"Come on, doggie."
Gennojo: ...I'm a wolf.
I'll bite you to death.
-STAGE 1-
Roger: It's a beautiful castle.
A dream paalce.
Gennojo: With all those enemies? ...I don't
get you. It at least needs cherry
blossoms or autumn leaves.
Roger: Cherry blossoms are nice.
They remind me of the Potomac.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: ...Long time, no see.
Gennojo: ...Why are you here?
Roger: ...Intervention...
Yukari: Come on. I came because you
said you needed cherry blossoms.
Hey, look happier.
But on days like this, a picnic is
better than having a match. Let's
get this over with quick.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Aw man.
I lost again.
Gennojo: I thought we already defeated her
before...
Roger: (Did we fail the trace...?)
A ghost ended up appearing in the
middle of the day.
Gennojo: It's like a bad joke.
-STAGE 2-
Gennojo: What do you think that was all about
back there?
Roger: I'm not certain. It didn't appear to
be a physical object.
Gennojo: Yeah.
It definitely didn't have a scent.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: What a nice day. Such a rare
occasion. I always wanted to let
the girls out on days like this...
Gennojo: How unfortunate for you.
So, what happened to those girls?
Shikou: They died.
I sent them off to die.
As a shield for the country.
Roger: ...Why tell us that?
Shikou: Who knows.
It must be because of this weather.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...Well done.
I'll take this weather back to the
girls. To a faraway hell.
I wonder if I will be forgiven.
Gennojo: You might be forgiven...
Roger: ...I hope you're forgiven.
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: What a bizarre incident.
Roger: It appears like it was an incident
from a dream.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A spring wind is blowing. A kind
wind that nudges you to wake up.
You are the warrior of the spring
wind. You are trying to wake up.
Roger: It appears we're about to enter a
dream. This must be the castle of
dreams.
Gennojo: ...I'm not very good at dealing with
people like her.
Roger: Why is that?
Gennojo: ...No comment.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Thank you...
Gennojo: ...If it hurt, I'm sorry.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: So, that woman just now seems to be
your type.
Gennojo: ...No comment.
Roger: Hmm.
Gennojo: Don't automatically make
assumptions.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Today is a good day.
I've been able to meet another of my
kind.
Gennojo: So we're the same? I see...
I'm happy for the reunion as well.
Kagachi: Even if we're about to kill each
other? ...Let's do battle. No hard
feelings, no matter who wins.
Gennojo: Sure.
Roger: ...Is that a dog-deity too?
Gennojo/Kagachi: That's wolf.
Here goes!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: That was a good battle.
Gennojo: I will drink your blood, and you
will live on inside me.
Kagachi: I will live together with you.
Gennojo: Yeah.
Roger: (The enemy is a ghost, so I don't
think drinking blood or anything
like that applies in this case...)
-STAGE 5-
Roger: Too bad you couldn't drink any
blood.
Gennojo: ...That's just an ideal. If I really
drank blood, I would be a vampire.
Roger: Aren't they the same thing?
Gennojo: No. At least not in Japan. Anyway,
isn't this a nice place? You can
meet the peolpe you want to meet.
Roger: Even though you may be trying to
kill each other shortly after you've
met?
Gennojo: Life isn't all about the good
things, but it's also not all bad
either.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: ...Roy?
Oh good, it really is you, Roy.
Roger: ...Tsukiko...
Tsukiko: I'm so glad. I was worried about
who'd be the last one to show up.
I'm glad it was you, Roy.
It's much better than some stranger,
but if it was Koh, I would...
Roger: Uwaaaaaaah!
Gennojo: ...You're so green. You should be
happy in times like these.
This is a good thing.
After all, you were able to see her,
though it's just for a moment.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Roy?
Roger: Uwaaaaaaah!
Gennojo: Roger. That's the first time I've
seen you make that face. It makes
you look younger, more your age.
*crumble*
Gennojo: Hey, get up.
It looks like there's another round.
Roger: No, no...
I've had enough with just Shin...
Gennojo: Well, well...
You're quite the kid.
You're worse than Kohtaro.
-ENDING-
Roger stood staring at the
disappearing castle.
Roger: ...I lost my cool. Sorry.
Gennojo: You're still young.
You knew that they were going to be
people we love, as well as ghosts,
didn't you?
Roger: *sob*
Gennojo: ...Don't cry.
Good things will eventually come...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--E2. Roger + Mihee---------------------------------------------------(ro+mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: Is this the spot?
Mihee: Ah... no... try a little lower.
Roger: What about here?
Mihee: Yes... Yes, that's it!
That's the castle.
That's the Swan Castle.
Roger: Hehehe, too bad, all you gamers
out there. This game is for sound
people.
Mihee: Which way are you facing?
-STAGE 1-
Roger: So that is the castle of
shikigami... Miss Kim, can you keep
up with my speed?
Mihee: I should be asking you the same.
Roger: Hmph, then let's proceed!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: What's with the cosplay? *gasp*
You're not here to stop me from
becomg a global idol, are you?
Mihee: Are you going to be a comedian?
Yukari: Noooo!
...Hey! You there!
What are you hiding!?
Roger: ...Uh, an autograph book.
Yukari: Are you a fan of mine?
Roger: No. But I like comedians.
Yukari: Grrrr! I'm gonna kick everyone's
butt.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awww, I got my butt kicked!
Roger: She's stupid.
An idiot.
Super-stupid.
Mihee: I'm sure it's aggravating for her to
hear you say that.
Roger: What do you mean, sword-maniac?
Mihee: What did you say, stupid ninja?
-STAGE 2-
Roger: I think we need to settle this once
and for all.
Mihee: Let's do it then!
Roger: Whoever gets there first is the
winner!
Mihee: You don't need to tell me!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: It's okay to have a race, but...
I don't think the game system will
allow you to do that.
Roger: ...Oh.
Mihee: In that case, I'll just defeat you
first!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Is this what it feels like to have
anger displaced on you...?
Roger: I think so.
Mihee: Shut up!
-STAGE 3-
Roger: Enough's enough.
There's no sense in us fighting one
another.
Mihee: ...
Roger: What now?
Mihee: ...It's strange.
Roger: What? This is the official uniform
of a ninja.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: Two distorted winds have come
together to become a normal wind.
I guess things like this happen.
Roger: I don't know about this tramp, but
I've been normal from the start.
Mihee: Shut up, stupid ninja.
...Hey woman, what is today's
weather, and what day is it?
Freedom: I do not know.
Mihee: As I thought...
And why is that?
Freedom: It is not in my settings.
Roger: What is this woman?
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You... fought well...
Roger: What kind of perfume to I like?
Freedom: It is not in my settings.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: What was that anyway?
Who was that woman?
Mihee: The man before said this was a game
system.
It appears we're in some sort of
game, a faux reality created by
drugs, computers, or magic.
Roger: Then the missing people are...
Mihee: Probably trapped in the same sort of
thing.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You two are stange.
Roger: What is the design on my underwear?
Kagachi: It is not in my settings.
Mihee: So it has a design...
Roger: I'm just kidding.
But now I'm convinced.
Now I can fight without hesitation.
Mihee: I don't think you're doing anything
different than before.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Roger: What is the design on Mihee Kim's
underwear?
Kagachi: It is not in my settings.
Mihee: I'll kill you.
-STAGE 5-
Roger: I thought I Was going to die.
Mihee: Die already.
Roger: It looks like we're toward the end.
Mihee: Hey! Listen to me!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Roy?
Roger: Is so well made.
Mihee: Do you know her?
Roger: Yeah.
Tsukiko, what is your cup size?
Tsukiko: It is not in my settings.
Mihee: That's sexual harrassment, stupid
ninja.
Roger: Hahaha, no worries!
There's no such thing as sexual
harrassment for a ninja.
Mihee: You're an Olympic-class idiot.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Let reality crush you...
Mihee: Finally, this one's real.
Roger: I'm going to pulverize it with my
ninjutsu. Here comes the
international ninja!
-ENDING-
Roger: It's over.
Mihee: Yeah!
No... What if we think it's over,
but it's not over at all? The dream
might still be running.
For example...
Stupid ninja, do you like my type of
woman?
Roger: It's not in my settings.
...Pfpf.
Mihee: Hahahaha.

--E3. Roger + Nagino--------------------------------------------------(ro+na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: I, Roger the ninja, have arried.
Nagino: Hmm, why are you doing that?
Roger: It's a tradition among ninja of
Japan.
Nagino: You're not Japanese, are you?
Roger: I said ninja of Japan and not
Japanese ninja.
Nagino: ...
-STAGE 1-
Roger: Will you call me papa?
Nagino: No way. Never.
Roger: Why?
Nagino: Because of the way you're dressed.
Roger: What? This nice ninja-guy outift
I'm wearing?
Nagino: How is that nice!?
Roger: My, my. It's sad to see that
Japanese women have forgotten the
beauty behind such an outfit.
Nagino: That's what you'd call an
anachronism. Just stay away from me.
Roger: Well, you may be small, but you
indeed are one full-grown lady.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Risi... no, exploding in popularity.
I'm the talk of the town! The super
beautiful girl has arrived.
Now, try and guess my name.
1. Yukari Horiguchi
2. Yukari-chan Horiguchi
3. Yukari Horiguchi
Nagino: I don't care about your name.
And your popularity must be your
imagination.
Roger: You don't hold back, do you?
Nagino: Do you hold back?
Roger: No way.
I'm a hard worker.
You're funny, so I'll let you live,
but you're still on the level of a
lab rat or a rare zoo animal.
It's fun to watch, but by dinner
time you've already forgotten about
it.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: See you nest week, everyone!
Roger: No, I don't think so. Don't worry.
I didn't finish the job last time,
but this time I'll get it done.
There's no tomorrow for you.
Don't worry.
-STAGE 2-
Roger: Hey, you. Is the reason why you
don't want to call me papa because
I'm from Septentrion.
Nagino: ...Yes, that's one reason.
Roger: There's more?
Nagino: Actually, I could care less how
much profit the Seven Stars of
Septentrion make.
Doing morally cruel things isn't
only exlucsive to you. That's no
special reason to dislike you.
Roger: Then what's the problem?
Nagino: It's the way you're dressed!
Roger: Huh, is that really the problem!?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: The way you carry yourself...
Are you of royal upbringing?
Roger: I thought so up until a moment ago,
but now I'm not so sure.
Shikou: Why is that?
Roger: It seems that I am disliked by Blue.
Nagino: I think it's just the way you're
dressed.
Roger: Forget it. You there, would you mind
dying, so I can vent my anger?
Don't worry, it'll be quick.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: This is a terrible way to die...
Roger: It's not like there hasn't been any
disturbing stories in the history of
mankind. One more won't hurt.
Nagino: How tasteless.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: What do you intend to do by being
friends with me?
Roger: Nothing really.
I don't intend to touch you nor do I
think it will be profitable.
But the reason I'm here with you
despite that is that I want to have
a girl like you as my daughter?
Nagino: What do you intend to do making
me your daughter?
Roger: Well, after raising you, I might
make you my wife or marry you off to
a man that I want.
Nagino: That's so tasteless.
Roger: Really? I don't think that's such a
bad deal.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A sinister wind is blowing.
Roger: Well, well, it looks like the
ancestors don't like me either.
Nagino: You're hated everywhere.
Roger: If you're rich and competent, it's
like a tax for being famous.
Freedom: Why are you with someone like this?
Nagino: Me? I won't do anything as long as
he doesn't try to hurt me. He's free
to think whatever he wants.
Roger: So that's that. The young lady says
she'll forgive me even if I do have
immoral thoughts.
Nagino: I'll look at you with contempt
though.
Roger: Ouch.
Freedom: I guess it can't be helped...
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Impressive...
Roger: What were you expecting?
Nagino: You should do your things yourself.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: Don't you think we get along after
all?
Nagino: I don't think so.
..?
Roger: What is it?
Nagino: That's an unusually kind smile.
Hmm.
Roger: I already told you what my ulterior
motives are. There's nothing more.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you father and daughter?
Roger: I hope to be.
Nagino: It's not good to get close to adults
that show money to children.
Roger: Who are you talking about?
Nagino: Niigi.
Roger: I'll pretend I didn't hear you say
that name.
Kagachi: Well, it looks like you both get
along. I'm relieved. Just relax and
be eaten by me.
Roger: Hey, isn't this what you'd call
tasteless?
Nagino: A wolf's taste belongs to a wolf.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You're good...
Roger: I'll put you in a zoo.
-STAGE 5-
Nagino: Now I understand.
Roger: About what?
Nagino: About your intentions.
Roger: Oh, it looks like the enemy is here.
We'll have to end this conversation
for now.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Roger: It's not bad for a walk in the park,
but it's not tasteless enough.
Here's a little gift from me.
Ta-ching.
Roger: What's the matter?
Pick it up.
Nagino: 25 cents?
You're cheap.
Roger: you mean generous.
How much would you pay then?
Nagino: I wouldn't give any moeny.
Roger: See, I am generous in that sense.
Tsukiko: ...You're both billies.
I'll make you regret it.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Roger: It's impossible to make us regret
it. I really enjoy this role I'm in.
I truly do.
Tsukiko: ...Let reality crush you!!
Nagino: That's impossible too.
You're the one that's going to be
crushed by reality.
-ENDING-
Roger: You kept me up all night, and it
wasn't even that educational or fun.
Let's go someplace fun tomorrow.
Nagino: You just want to use me to see
Niigi.
Roger: How did you deduce that?
Nagino: When I imitated Niigi, you smiled
so kindly.
Roger: Is that all?
Nagino: Uh-huh.
Roger: That's no good. That's the bad ting
about you women. You are correct
that I am in love with her.
Of course, I also want to be your
father.
Nagino: She's married, you know.
Roger: Be it a married woman or someone's
daughter, I always ge what I want.
I can give more love than anyone.
Nagino: How tasteless. Oh well.
I wanna go to an amusement park.
Roger: As you wish.

--E4. Roger + Reika---------------------------------------------------(ro+re)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: I am Roger Sasuke, the international
ninja who has trouble dealing with
his increasing popularity.
This time I am here with my beloved
Kohtaro and Sayo in Eastern Europe.
I feel a little embarrassed about my
first trip abraoad.
Reika: My name is Reika Kirishima,
History Security Police Department
officer.
My boss told me to change history,
but is it really okay? But a castle
that has no moving bones is nice.
Roger: Well then, let's go.
Reika: Roger!
-STAGE 1-
Roger: We're going to the castle.
Kohtaro and Sayo are in danger.
Reika: Roger!
Roger: For my friends.
(I'm gonna get in their way...)
Reika: For my orders.
(I'm gonna get in their way...)
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: And Yukari, who awakens at the
castle, is suddenly attacked by
villain!
Next time on Record of Yukari War 2,
Mutable Beauty. Will she be abducted
by the ninja and strange girl? (P.1)
I always get the hex I'm aiming for.
Roger: She's weird.
Roger: Uh-huh.
Yukari: Look who's talking. A ninja who's
done incorrect historical research
and a lady wearing outdated clothes.
Reika: Reika's only 19.
Yukari: I'm 17!
Roger: You're an old maid.
Reika/Yukari: Huh?
Roger: Just kidding, it's just a joke.
Let's hurry up and fight and execute
the mission.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I lost to an old maid!
Reika: Grrrr!
I told you Reika is 19!
-STAGE 2-
Reika: ...
Roger: ...
(Don't mess with the top dog.)
Reika: I'm gonna leave for a bit.
Roger: Huh Where?
Reika: I'm back.
Roger: That was too fast!
Reika: Hahaha. Reika is 17 now too.
I went and changed time.
Roger: ...You don't look any different.
Ugh, I'm kidding. Let's just get
going and execute the mission.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Can I ask you once thing before we
do battle?
Reika: What?
Shikou: Uh, it looks like that man is
beaten up pretty badly even though
the battle hasn't started yet.
Roger: It's better to live a humble life
because having a big mouth can get
you into trouble...
Shikou: I don't undersand what you mean,
but I think I understand how you
feel.
Reika: Reika went two years into the past
and used cold sleep, so I look two
years younger.
Shikou: So you're saying that men are
suffering from the unfairness of it
all.
Roger: Yeah, that's right.
It's too bad that you're the enemy.
Reika: I'm gonna kill you!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: More power... to you...
Roger: Thank you, comrade.
-STAGE 3-
Reika: Mmmmm...
Roger: Don't be mad. Next time, I'll come
with you, and you can change your
look to whatever you like.
Reika: Really?
Roger: But of course.
Would this face lie?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A delightful wind is blowing.
One wrong gust and it could turn
into a stupid wind.
Reika: Paya-papa, paya-papa,
papaayayapapaa!
Roger: If the world is in danger, it's up
to us shadows to put a stop to it!
International ninja Roger...!
Reika: And Reika...!
Roger/Reika: Are here to save the world!
Let's go!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Reika: I always wanted to do that once.
Freedom: I-Is that so.
Reika: Yup.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: Uh, are we going to do that again?
That was embarrassing.
Reika: Yeah. Reika's anger is deeper than
the ocean.
Roger: Ugh.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...You guys are idiots.
Reika: In the deepest and darkest part of
the heart, we wait for the door to
be unlocked.
Roger: If we hear a voice, we'll come from
any part of the world. The shining
keys of justice.
Reika: If the world is in danger, it's up
the the History Security Police to
protect it! Police offcer, Reika!
Roger: And Roger!
(This is so embarrassing...)
Reika: Here we go.
Roger: Roger!
(Oh just kill me...)
Kagachi: ...You guys are Grade A morons.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Guwah!
Reika: We won!
-STAGE 5-
Roger: These enemies are really weak.
Reika: Uh-huh. That's because they're
computer graphics created by the
Dream Park System.
Roger: ...What?
Wait, what was that?
What did you just say?
Reika: I said CGs. A previous loop must
have remained. It probably uses
everyone's memories to generate 'em.
Roger: (Can't she just be a regular
person...?)
Reika: That's cuz~
Reika's only~
17~
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: ...Roy?
Roger: ...
Reika: See?
Roger: ...Indeed.
Tsukiko: Roy, what are you saying?
Roger: Silence, illusion!
Now that I know you're fake,
I'm not holding back.
Reika: It's not an illusion but a CG...
Roger: Let's rock!
Tsukiko: What are you saying, Roy?
What are you saying, Roy?
What are you saying, Roy?
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Reika: Why are you angry?
Roger: ...That enemy had the face of a
friend. It makes my blood boil,
even if it is just an illusion.
Reika: ...Hmm, then the next one should be
okay.
Roger: Next one?
*crumble*
-ENDING-
The long night ends.
After destroying the tiny machine,
Roger let out a sigh.
Roger: ...And they lived happily ever
after.
Reika: Buh? Why does Reika feel like she
forgot something? Hmmm, what is it?
Hm? Someone's coming.
Kohtaro: ...
Sayo: ...
Kohtaro: Um, uh, well...
We're a little late...
Hahaha.
Roger/Reika: Aaagghh!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--E5. Roger + Munchausen----------------------------------------------(ro+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Roger: I guess it doesn't matter, but...
Munchausen: What is it, sir?
Roger: When I think about how many people
would choose us as a team, I get a
sudden impulse to commit suicide.
Don't you think the fans would would enjoy
it if we just stayed here and
talked?
Munchausen: No, I believe that because we think
no one is wathcing, we can create an
interesting situation.
Roger: So what's the plan?
Please see the rest in the main
story of the game.
-STAGE 1-
Today is another day where a
strange castle appears, and we have
to destroy it.
Roger: That old hag is flirting around with
my Kohtaro again. I'm going to go
and see what's going on.
Munchausen: Please wait.
Roger: ?
Munchausen: We're two men alone. Don't you think
it would be a waste?
Roger: That doesn't sound right. Wait...
Even though we're two unpopular
character togther, that's just...
Ah, no...
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: ...
Roger: Here I am. I'm finally here,
the legendary heroine for a new
generation.
Munchausen: Here goes, Rogelyn.
Roger: Sure, big sis.
Yukari: ...What's with you guys?
Roger: Oh, don't act so reserved.
We're all women here. Let's be more
free and unrestrained.
Yukari: Aahh! Get away from me!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Roger: Well?
Munchausen: Big sis.
Yukari: Noooo!
Roger: Ah, she's disappearing.
Munchausen: She has no will power.
-STAGE 2-
Roger: ...
Munchausen: What is it?
Roger: I feel empty.
Munchausen: Oh no, you say that, but you look
pretty good.
Roger: Really?
Oh, that couldn't be!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...
Roger: Looking like this makes it at least
interesting to see the opponent's
reaction.
Munchausen: Indeed it does, Rogelyn.
Roger: Yes, big sis.
Shikou: G-Get away from me!
Roger: *wink*
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Aaaargh!
Roger: That was a serious cry of defeat if
I ever heard one.
Munchausen: It wasn't very graceful.
Ohohohoho.
-STAGE 3-
Roger: I must say this strategy is pretty
effective!
Munchausen: Indeed!
Roger: I'm getting psyched! Almost as much
as doing the major cleaning during
elementary school.
(Roy Bauman was a kid who didn't
like cleaning, but once he did it,
he took it very seriously.)
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: Excuse me, granny. I was thinking...
I don't think it's very appropriate
to express yourself in that way.
Roger: You're awful!
Freedom: Aaahh. I'm so sorry.
What should I do in times like this?
Munchausen: Now!
Roger: Another successful ninjutsu!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: It's so bad...
Roger: I won't deny it.
-STAGE 4-
Roger: I'd like to get to the end like
this, but...
Munchausen: That probably won't be possible.
The enemy won't be that easy.
Roger: Could this stange feeling I'm
getting in my small bosom be the
sense of a fierce fight?
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...
Roger: Bwahahaha!
Kagachi: Hey, don't laugh! I mean, who are
you to laugh at me!?
Roger: Oh, are you jealous of my beauty?
Ohohohoho, right, big sis?
Munchausen: Ohohohoho, right!
I'm sure that's it!
Kagachi: Hell no! You're terrible! Both of
you! That's why I'm going to kill
you!
Roger: Come and get it!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: ...Ahhh...
Munchausen: You just thought that the sound you
made getting defeated was cute,
didn't you?
Kagachi: If I would have known about this
lifestyle sooner...
Roger: Yes. You mght have been my little
sister.
Kagachi: Good day... big sis.
Roger: Good day.
-STAGE 5-
Munchausen: Looks like this is the last one.
*cough* *cough*
Roger: Big sis! Did something happen to
you in the last battle?
Munchausen: No, spit is caught in my throat...
*cough* *wheeze*
Roger: Don't say spit.
It's phlegm!
Munchausen: Oh my, that's right, Rgoelyn!
Yes, even phlegm gets caught in
my throat and I have fallen, don't
look back and keep moving forward!
Roger: Big sis!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nigtmare.
Munchausen: I wonder what part of this is the
greatest nightmare?
Roger: Gah. Ts-Ts-Tsukiko.
Tsukiko: Don't "Ts-Tsukiko" me, Roy.
The whole family is going to be
disappinted.
Roger: Gah! This really is a nightmare,
ever since that time mom found
that book under my bed!
Munchausen: What in the world!?
You're going to pay!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: I have to... reform him...
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Roger: ...
Munchausen: Are you sad?
Roger: ..Yes.
Munchausen: But most families are like that.
They say they're worried, but their
only concern is their reputation.
Roger: ...I know. I really do.
But...
Rogelyn wiped her tears.
Excuses will no longer work.
A fabulous new life begins.
Althouth dressing like a ninja is
pretty fabulous too.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--F1. Gennojo + Mihee-------------------------------------------------(ge+mi)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: Why am I here?
Gennojo: It's work.
Mihee: I came to see my cousin!
Gennojo: Don't yell.
You'll give me a headache.
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: Why me...?
Gennojo: Give it up.
We're already at the castle.
Mihee: I don't mind helping people out.
But my problem is the fact that I'm
helping out Japan.
Gennojo: We're trying to help the people of
this country. What else is there?
Mihee: ...Nothing.
Gennojo: Then there's no problem. Now, let's
solve this incident. But man, this
catle sure is beautiful.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: I've finally caught you!
I'm back in the outfit I wear at my
part-time flower shop job!
Mihee: What are you embarrassed about?
Gennojo: Um, well, I guess it doesn't matter,
but why you?
Yukari: Can you guess?
For revenge, of course! I lost last
time, but I'm gonna win this time.
Now, let's fight fair and sqaure!
Mihee: Do you know her?
Gennojo: She's the enemy. She's not my type.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Two against one isn't fair!
I'm gonna bring Takano next time.
Gennojo: Please don't come back.
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: She was pretty cute
Gennojo: ...She's not my type.
Mihee: She's my type.
I want her.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I guess I should say welcome.
Gennojo: We would have come even without the
invitation. It's rare, but we're
actually trying to help people.
Mihee: You're twisted.
Gennojo: Miss Kim, your words are a little
harsh. I want you to be a little
nicer to me.
Mihee: Why do I have to be nice yo ou?
I'm just stuck with you for now.
I'm not your girlfriend
Shikou: Can we do battle now? Though I do
want to keep watching you two since
you look like such a good couple.
Gennojo: Well, thanks.
Mihee: Just how do we make a good couple?
I don't like what you said, so I'm
going to tear you apart.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Heh...
Mihee: Don't laugh so indiscreetly.
-STAGE 3-
Mihee: Why are you smiling?
What's so funny?
Gennojo: You two are very similar. You
definitely remind me of your cousin.
I think I'll go visit him sometiome.
Mihee: Let me tell you this, I am me. I'm
nobody's replacement. Don't compare
me to anybody, not even my cousin.
Gennojo: I'm sorry.
I wasn't trying to compare you.
Mihee: Are you into men?
Gennojo: No. Absolutely not. Though it's true
I always get dumped, it's not enough
to change my preference to men.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: It's a peaceful wind.
Gennojo: I'm surprised.
You're terribly beautiful.
Freedom: Thank you. I'm flattered.
Mihee: Why are you getting so friendly with
the enemy, you cheating bastard?
Freedom: Are you cheating?
Gennojo: Come on now. Getting dumped twice is
enough. Three times is too much.
I'll tell you, since it seems
like you don't know, but I'm single.
No, what am I saying?
Uh, well, I won't make it hurt so
much, so do you mind getting killed?
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Gennojo: ...Sorry.
Freedom: I forgive you.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: You should stop complimenting women
so easily. I feel sorry for them.
What if one takes you seriously?
Gennojo: If I was that attractive--Uh, never mind.
You're cold toward me, but you worry
about an enemy woman?
Mihee: Of course. All beautiful women
belong to me. What's wrong with
worrying about my property?
Gennojo: ...Whatever you say.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Gennojo: Too bad the enemy isn't beautiful.
Mihee: Are you jealous?
Gennojo: Give me a break. I told you,</pre><pre id="faqspan-7">
I'm single. Probably forever.
Mihee: Really? Can I really trust you?
Gennojo: What do you mean by that?
No, never mind. Let's not keep
him waiting. Be it a person or god,
being amped about work is the best.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Gennojo: So he ended up not being able to say
a single line.
Mihee: What are you talking about?
Gennojo: ...Nothing.
It's just a man's sorrow.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: What's with this castle? It's a lot
bigger than it looks outside.
Gennojo: Really?
Mihee: Have you fallen for me?
Gennojo: What gives you that idea?
No, that's not what I wanted to say.
...This castle probably isn't real.
Mihee: You look embarrased, so it looks
like I'm not entirely wrong.
Mihee: I should have realized with Yukari.
This is a place that makes things
you don't want to see appear.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
Gennojo: For me, living is a nightmare.
This is much better.
Tsukiko: Oh, then why are you still awake?
You should go to sleep like everyone
else.
Gennojo: I'll pass on that. I don't like
nightmares, but it makes me even
more sick to run from them.
Tsukiko: I see. It's because of her, isn't
it?
Mihee: You're fighting for me?
Gennojo: I'm getting sleepy. I want to sleep
now. Better yet, if I defeat you,
I'll be free.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Gennojo: Well, it's finally over.
It looks like the missing people are
alright too. Castle closed...!
Mihee: Not yet.
We have to fight one more time.
Gennojo: Well now; Miss Kim, what would your
cousin say now?
Mihee: After all this, are you still
talking like that?
Gennojo: Huh? Hey, what do you mean?
Hey, stop fighting without
permission.
-ENDING-
Mihee: As I suspected, you really are
interested in men.
Gennojo: Huh?
Mihee: I've made my decision. I'm your
enemy. The next time I see you, I'm
going to take your life!
My hurt feelings will only be
quenched with your blood!
Gennojo: H-Hey now?
Mihee: I would have made you my wife!
Mihee Kim ran away crying.
Gennojo was at a loss.
Gennojo: ...Wife isn't the correct word.

-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: Stardate 20120606. I'm a traveling
sandwich chef brought to this
country by a meddlesome adult.
His speculative nature reminds me of
MAKI. Because of that, I've decided
to help him a little. ...Ow!
Gennojo: What are you doing?
Let's get going.
Nagino: You hit me!
Gennojo: Children become adults by getting
hit.
Nagino: That's old-school.
It's so outdated.
-STAGE 1-
Nagino: Stardate 201206032.
I, a traveling sandwich chef, have
made my way to the Swan--Ouch!
Gennojo: I don't know what kind of silly
role-playing you're doing, but
didn't I tell you to knock it off?
Nagino: Papa! Stop hitting me on the head!
You're messing up my hair.
Gennojo: ...Hey, now... call me big brother.
I mean... Please. I beg you.
Nagino: Why?
Gennojo: I'm only, uh, 29.
Nagino: I'm only 9. Let's just be like
father and daughter.
Gennojo: ...
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Have you heard the rumors? Of course!
Back by popular demand, it's Yukari
version 2! <<Fierce Fight Chapter!>>
I always get the hex I'm aiming form.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Aahahaha.
Nagino: Papa?
Gennojo: It's a nightmare.
A nighmare's appeared.
Nagino: ...Geez, this is why adults are no
good. They're useless when you need
them.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: No way, the Fierce Fight Chapter
ends here!? What's going to happen
to me? No, I hope not that.
Nagino: I'll let you know as a parting gift
for your death. You're going to
lose, completely.
Yukari: Noooooooo!
-STAGE 2-
Gennojo: Ugh, that was a dreadful enemy.
Nagino: Why?
Did she look like your ex-wife?
Gennojo: ...Where are you getting that kind
of knowledge? I'm suddenly worried
about who raised you.
Nagino: Mama Fumiko.
So is it true that you're going out
with the flower shop girl?
Gennojo: That damn witch...
Don't get cocky just because you're
lending me rent money.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: A father and his daughter...
Nagino: Yup, we get along really well.
Shikou: Shouldn't you send your daughter
some place safe...? What kind of
parent are you?
Gennojo: ...Everyone's just making whatever
assumption they want. Being near me
is the safest place she could be!
Nagino: Uh-huh. I trust him on that one.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: So this is father-daughter power!
Gennojo: It's brother-sister power.
Nagino: There's no such thing as siblings
that are 20 years apart.
Gennojo: ...
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: ...Ummm, what?
Nagino: Is it true you're really 33?
It's okay to lie about your age a
little. I'm easy on adults, ya know.
Gennojo: She even told you that...?
That old hag!
Nagino: You'll still lose.
Gennojo: Shush. A kid shouldn't be predicting
the future.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: So you made it, chosen one.
Gennojo: What was I chosen for?
Nagino: She means me.
Freedom: Heh.
Gennojo: Heh.
Yes, it seems that you have chosen
me. I guess I should be honored.
Nagino: Hrmm.
Freedom: You should be honored.
You're taking the place of a demon
king.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Gennojo: What'd she mean by demon king?
Nagino: I don't know.
Gennojo: ...Let's go.
-STAGE 4-
Nagino: Ow! What are you doing!?
Gennojo: I won't tell you not to lie. I'm a
liar too. But try to be able to tell
the truth to those you can trust.
Nagino: ...I thought that I was.
Don't worry, Papa.
I'm strong, you know.
Gennojo: There are stong individuals, but
there's no such thing as a strong
soul. If you want to call me Papa,
think about what I said.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Are you father and daughter?
Gennojo: That's right.
Kagachi: I see. You're very fortunate.
You'll be together inside my
stomach.
Gennojo: No thanks. A father has a duty to
fulfill, like risking his life for
his daughter.
No, it's not even duty.
It's instinct. Instinct tells me to
kill you for my daughter's sake.
Kagachi: Very well. Come and get it!
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Nagino: ...I feel kind of embarrassed.
Gennojo: You're the one that called me "Papa."
-STAGE 5-
Nagino: Papa!
Gennojo: Hey, let go of my arm.
Nagino: Why?
Gennojo: ...Uh, well, you can hold on for
little while.
Nagino: Okay.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
So, what do you think of the
nightmares I've shown you?
Gennojo: Kind of sweet and actually kind of
pleasant. I felt like I want to
keep watching.
Tsukiko: Right, any nightmare is better than
reality.
Nagino: But a dream is just a dream, Papa.
My papa would be better off facing
reality. It suits him better.
Honor is a taint because you fight
with reality. Honor in a dream is
a sham. Honor is me, and I am honor.
Humans are walking pieces of honor
and shame. It's much better to be
chased by the rent collector.
Gennojo: You don't have to tell me that.
I know... Trust me!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
*crumble*
Gennojo: Sorry to bring this up at a time
like this, but do you mind if I ask
you something?
Nagino: What is it?
Gennojo: I want to know my daughter's name?
What is your real name?
Nagino: ...
Mirai the Blue.
Now did you know?
Gennojo: I'm a private investigator. Nagino
Ise was the name of a child who once
asked for my services.
Nagino: And I was given a request from
that child at Central:
Please save Gennojo.
Gennojo: Can I trust you?
Nagino: Justice is with me just as the sun
is in the sky. Trust me.
Gennojo: I trust you.
Not the current you, but the you
that was fond of me.
-ENDING-
Nagino: ...Bye.
Gennojo: ...Wait.
Nagino: I can't.
I have things to do.
Gennojo: I won't stop you. If I had things to
do, I wouldn't stop either.
Nagino: Bye.
Gennojo: Come back when you're finished.
That's all I ask.
The young girl had a troubled, sad
look on her face as she smiled and
disappeared.
Hyuga was left alone by himself.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--F3. Gennojo + Reika-------------------------------------------------(ge+re)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Gennojo: That looks like the target castle.
Reika: Yes.
But that conversation suddenly
turned into a big ruckus...!
To find out the rest, play Castle of
Shikigami 3 with Reika and Hyuga!
-STAGE 1-
Gennojo: That looks like the target castle.
Let's go, officer.
Reika: S-Say that again.
Gennojo: That's the target castle.
Reika: After that.
Gennojo: Officer?
Reika: ...Awwww.
Gennojo: Hey, what kind of reaction is
that?
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Hey, what are you doing here,
Mr. Private Investigator?
Gennojo: Yu..kari?
Yukari: Me? I'm working here part-time.
The flower shop gig isn't enough to
pay for my videogames.
So anyway, sorry. This is as far as
you go. If you wanna get through
here, then give me some love.
Gennojo: Officer, arrest her.
Arrest her now.
Reika: If you guys are an item, why don't
you just put her in her place?
Gennojo: ...You can't talk to a person like
her. In cases like this, it's best
to defeat her with public authority.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I can't believe you hit me!
I protest equality between men and
women!
Gennojo: ...Arrest her, arrest her now.
People who say things like that when
it suits them should be taken away.
Reika: Why are you so keen on arresting
people?
Gennojo: A private investigator doesn't have
the authority to do that. I want to
arrest somebody at least once.
-STAGE 2-
Reika: Why did I get all emotional when you
called me officer? Reika has never
been called that bfore.
Gennojo: Ah, is that so?
Reika: Yup! It sounds much more cuter!
I couldn't be a nurse.
Gennojo: ...Well, with the whole equality
between men and women these days,
they want everyone to be the same.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: It couldn't be...
Gennojo: It appears you know me.
Shikou: Time Gal.
Gennojo: Wait a minute.
Shikou: ...Is this a sitcom?
Reika: Nice one, comic relief.
Gennojo: Am I supposed to be the straight
man?
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: That comedy was well done.
Gennojo: It's not my real job though.
-STAGE 3-
Gennojo: Let me say one thing.
Reika: What?
Gennojo: Don't judge a book by its cover.
Reika: Yes, that's very important.
Gennojo: Yeah, I'm the comic relief.
Definitely not the straight man.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A laughable wind is blowing.
Reika: All the people here are very
enthusiastic.
Gennojo: Sampras?
Reika: I love non sequiturs!
Freedom: I'm not too familiar with sports...
Gennojo: Shut up. You're all going to hell.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I would have preferred a Federer
reference.
Gennojo: Are you watching tennis?
Reika: Hey, isn't that what the straight
man says?
-STAGE 4-
Gennojo: So anyway, I think we're getting
kind of lazy.
Reika: This is the third game after all.
Gennojo: Yea, but this is your first
appearance.
Reika: The summer wind feels good today.
Gennojo: We're inside.
And it's spring.
Reika: Let's get going. The end is close.
Gennojo: It's still the fourth stage, stupid.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You guys are humorless imbeciles.
Reika: Didn't I say that people who call
other people stupid are the stupid
ones?
Gennojo: I told you I was the comic relief.
Kagachi: Not only are you humorless imbeciles,
you also have no manners.
Gennojo/Reika: Shut up.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Losing to you humorless imbeciles
with no manners is a slight tragedy.
Reika: What more of a tragedy is there?
Gennojo: Running from debt collectors during
the winter and slipping and dying
from the fall.
Reika: Whoa, that's a true tragedy.
Kagachi: Ugh!
-STAGE 5-
Reika: What do you think of this incident?
Gennojo: Suddenly serious, huh?
...Maybe it's just a delusion of
ours.
Reika: Bingo. This castle is reacting to
our feelings. Did you just figure
it out?
Gennojo: I suspected as much when that beauty
reacted to tennis. Come to think of
it, there's no way Yukari could
be here.
Reika: So what now?
Gennojo: That's a given.
Reika: Yeah.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Gennojo: I'm Gennojo.
Reika: I'm Reika.
Tsukiko: I am Elivis Presley. Uhuhuh.
I see you've assessed the situation.
Welcome to the comedy hall of fame.
I am your greatest comedy.
Reika: Hey, which do you think this is?
My thoughts or your thoughts?
Gennojo: Yours.
Reika: Reika doesn't do gags like these.
These must be yours, Gennie.
Gennojo: There's no proof, young lady.
How 'bout we just say that we're
both thinking the same thing?
Reika: That's fine.
Then, let's go!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Foolish children. If you kept
watching this pleasant dream, you
wouldn't have to deal with reality.
Gennojo: Then I'd be the only one having all
the fun. Sounds good. That's the
worst.
Reika: I do this job because I like it.
I do it dreaming about a laughably-
easy, everyday incident to solve.
Gennojo: We know reality is harsh.
Reika: But the vacation is over.
Reika's a female cop. I'm in the
occupation closest to great justice.
Gennojo: Sounds good. That's the best.
-ENDING-
Reika: It's over.
Gennojo: Yeah. I don't know what country you
work for, but why don't you be a cop
in Japan? I'm sure you'd like it.
Reika: In that case, why not forget about
being a P.I. or the girl at the
flower shop and go out with me?
You can arrest people, see china
dresses, or do whatever you want.
Gennojo: Well, let me think about that.
Reika: I'm the only one that can make use
of your abilites, I mean, sense of
humor.
Hehe...
Gennojo: Hmph. Well that settles that.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--F4. Gennojo + Munchausen--------------------------------------------(ge+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Gennojo: My name is Gennojo Hyuga.
My occupation: a cat-finder
and private a investigator.
The latter is a hobby of mine.
Munchausen: I, Munchausen, am a pure butler
from head to toe.
Gennojo: The thing that connects the two of
us is...
Munchausen: My lady has invested a considerable
amount of money in him.
Gennojo: She's more horrifying than a loan
shark. She won't take her money back
and wants me to pay with my body.
Munchausen: Physical labor is the best.
-STAGE 1-
Gennojo: Hey. You.
Munchausen: Yes, Master Hyuga?
Gennojo: Don't you ever feel like changing
occupations?
Munchausen: It has never crossed my mind.
My family has been proud of serving
Lady Fumiko for generations.
Gennojo: ...How old is that woman anyway?
I know she isn't as she appears.
Munchausen: I'm not sure it would be proper to
discuss a lady's age.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: After my great popularity in the
previous game, I appeared in an
unpopular novel. Yukari Horigcuhi
is a blossoming 17 year old
and has returned!
Here's a rocket punch to your heart.
Gennojo: Aren't you... unpopular anyway?
Yukari: No, the author was terrible.
It was the author!
Gennojo: ...What do you think?
Munchausen: In this case, I think it would be
graceful for both parties to take
the blame.
Gennojo: So both the author and character
sucked.
Yukari: Grrrr, arf!
What a terrible way to say that!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Ah, that was quicker than usual.
Aah!
Munchausen: Please be more graceful.
-STAGE 2-
Gennojo: I don't know why a man as powerful
as you would stay with a woman like
that.
Munchausen: If ability were the only thing that
determined a person's lot in life,
the world would be a dark place.
There would be no saving it.
The world is interesting because
I'm a butler and you're a humble
detective.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Japanese, huh? I never thought I'd
see someone from my homeland here.
Why fight in this foreign land?
Gennojo: Supposedly, if ability was the only
thing that determined a person's lot
in life, the world would be a dark place.
I guess I'm fighting to change that.
The world would also be a dark place
if where you were born determined
your place in life.
Munchausen: Those are some choice words, sir.
Shikou: You drunkard...
Die and regret it.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Amazing...
Gennojo: Looks like the drunkard won.
Munchausen: They say wine is the best medicine,
as long as you don't drink too much.
-STAGE 3-
Munchausen: Those were some choice words, sir.
I can see why my lady keeps you as
her gigolo.
Gennojo: Puah, who?
Who's the gigolo?
Did you mean me? Am I one too?
Munchausen: You clean the bath tub in exchange
for lunch and some allowance, so...
Gennojo: No! That's just a part-time job!
Believe me! My taste in women isn't
that bad.
Munchausen: My lady is what you would call a
fine woman.
Gennojo: No! You have to believe me!
I haven't sold my soul!
Munchausen: But I think you've sold your body.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An eastern wind is blowing.
Gennojo: I think this type is a fine woman.
Freedom: Hmhm, thank you.
But that won't change the
difficulty level.
Munchausen: If smiling at everybody is
a good thing, then I guess you're
right.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: Fighting isn't good.
Ohhh nooo!
Munchausen: Even so, my lady as a cute smile
from time to time.
Gennojo: I don't think I can agree with you.
-STAGE 4-
Gennojo: It seems you've improved your
skills. I can't believe at your
age...
Munchausen: You have the generations mixed up.
Gennojo: Excuse me?
Munchausen: I think you are referring to my
father.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: ...Then, the one Kohtaro said that
he trained with...
Munchausen: ...Would be me.
Kagachi: A most powerful enemy.
There is no opening or desire.
A team whose only purpose is to win.
Munchausen: Here we go. I must apologize to
Master Kohtaro, but this is part of
the mission.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I couldn't even hold them off for a
significant length of time.
Munchausen: I know how you feel.
-STAGE 5-
Gennojo: So, how much further?
Munchausen: Not much farther. I need to prepare
breakfast for everyone soon.
Gennojo: What's that got to do with anything?
Munchausen: It means we should hurry.
We'll increase our speed.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Gennojo: So what part of this is a nightmare?
Tsukiko: ...Gigolo.
Gennojo: No, I'm not! you're wrong.
Tsukiko: ...One down.
You're the only one left.
Are you alright? The way things are
going, that witch will get together
with Kohtaro. Aren't you afraid?
Munchausen: Heh. So be it.
Even if Master Kohtaro gets with my
lady, in the long span of time, it
will be for but a moment.
We are different. We will be with
the lady for eternity. A moment's
change of heart means nothing.
Master Hyuga, open your eyes.
We must fight.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
*crumble*
Gennojo: You're wrong...! I'm not...!
Munchausen: Good grief.
I guess I must fight alone for now.
-ENDING-
Munchausen: Milady, the mission has just been
completed. Yes? A change of clothes?
Please wait 10 seconds.
Gennojo: Fumiko?
Munchausen: Indeed, sir. Now if you will excuse
me, I must be on my way.
Gennojo: Wait...
Let me ask you one thing.
Munchausen: What is it?
Gennojo: What are you going to do if Kohtaro
and Fumiko really do get together?
Munchausen: Who knows.
Munchausen gave a mysterious smile,
turned around, and walked away.

--G1. Mihee + Nagino--------------------------------------------------(mi+na)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: Stardate 20120607. I'm a traveling
sandwich chef brought to this
country by a meddlesome adult.
Mihee: It's not good to be talking to
yourself.
Nagino: I'm not talking to myself.
I'm keeping a diary.
Mihee: It's the same thing.
It's creepy. Stop it.
Nagino: Huh? But an adult told me to keep a
diary.
Mihee: An aduat like that is just an
exhibitionist and is only making you
do what they can't do themselves.
Nagino: That's a narrow point of view.
Aah, ow! Ow!
Mihee: Is this the mouth that's defying me?
Huh? Is it this mouth?
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: Why have yoy come to this castle?
This place is dangerous.
Nagino: There was an SOS. I'm a member of
the International Rescue Squad,
Public Safety Division Q. Aah, ow! Ow!
Mihee: Is this the mouth that's defying me?
Huh? Is it this mouth again?
Nagino: Fumiko told me to go take a look
since it would be educational!
Mihee: You should have just said so in
the first place. At any rate, liars
never turn out any good.
(...What's that woman thinking?
Is she trying to put the same fate
we have on to this girl as well?)
...Anyway, come with me and try not
to get lost.
Nagino: Do you mean like a chick with an
egg shell on its butt?
Mihee: Like a chick with an egg shell on
its butt. Sounds like your
parents are in the military.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: What's going on? This sounds big!
Of course! Miss Yukari is back!
The eternal fairty returns,
just kidding!
Mihee: Look. See how someone who lies also
lies to themselves?
Nagino: Hmm. I still think a lie is just
a reflection of how someone wants to
be. Aah, ow! Ow!
Mihee: Is this the mouth that's defying me?
Is it this mouth?
Yukari: Hey! Stop picking on small kids!
Mihee: This is education, idiot! Die!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Violent bitch!
Nagino: If you put it that way, everybody
is...
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: ...When this is over, I want you to
go straight home. Don't ever think
of doing something like this again.
Nagino: ...Why?
Mihee: Don't be like me. This lifestyle
doesn't bring happiness, and it
doesn't have any meaning.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Sisters? Or mother and daughter?
Either way, bringing a little girl
like that here is...
Mihee: I'm not proud of it either.
Nagino: Stardate 20120608.
I feel like a princess.
The knight being a female knight
seems a bit awkward, but it doesn't
feel so bad.
MAKI, take a synopsis snapshot.
Mihee: That's why I'm going to defeat you!
This is a do-over for me!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: Do you expect salvation from
this...?
Mihee: Salvation isn't for me.
It's for her future.
-STAGE 3-
Nagino: That castle is bigger than it looks.
I'm surprised.
...?
Mihee: ...What are you so cautious about?
Who do you think I am? I don't pinch
you all the time.
You'll only get pinched when you do
something bad. Don't lie and don't
make a living killing people.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: An 8th wind ascends to the heavens.
I know people like you. The Blue
born from black, the blue of blue.
As I thought. So that one had
offspring, the true king that will
lead us.
Mihee: Is she talking about you?
Nagino: Probably so.
...Aah, ow! Ow!
Mihee: ...Is this the mouth talking to me
in a conceited tone? Huh? Is it this
mouth?
Nagino: I wasn't born because I wanted to!
Mihee: I know that! Bloodlines, tradition,
don't let those things bind you!
Don't live life with such things!
Freedom: Don't you want salvation as well?
Mihee: Shut up!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Mihee: I won't be saved by a kid like this!
Like hell I would!
Freedom: You want that more than anybody.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: ...
Nagino: ...
Mihee: ...I had a friend who had an
assassin for a daughter, a weapon to
protect the religious order.
It was the family business, so she
did her duty. And when they praised
her for her kills, she was happy.
Even when she became useless as a
woman, they told her that was fine,
and she consoled herself.
But, that was all just a sham.
Killing is simply killing, no matter
how you look at it.
...Don't end up like that.
Don't be like that.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You sisters get along well. You'll
both have a happy end. You'll always
be together inside my stomach.
Mihee: That's all wrong! Nothing needs to
end yet, and there's no need to go
there. We're not even sisters.
Nagino: ...Let's at least admit to him that
we get along well.
Mihee: If that's what you want, then so be
it... I always thought that I was
hated...
Nagino: Maybe you never really tried to find
out?
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: What refreshing eyes.
You were stronger.
I lost because I misread you...
Nagino: ...I'm not strong. I just understand
myself and my fate.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: What were you talking about earlier?
Nagino: Nothing?
...Aah, ow! Ow!
Mihee: Is this the mouth that's lying to
me!? Huh? Is this the mouth again!?
Huh?
Nagino: He was having regrets so I was just
trying to cheer him up !
Mihee: You should have just said so in
the first place. And stop moving up
front. You're weak, so stay back.
Nagino: Ookay.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I'm your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: I guess all I have to do is kill
you. Nagino, stand back.
Tsukiko: Ahahaha, what a foolish thing to
say. You're an idiot! The Queen of
Flames is far stronger than you.
A cursed child born to a demon lord
and a shrine maiden of electronics.
An arrow fated to incinerate all.
Forget about me. There's no way
someone like you can go on living
and not get killed.
Nagino: ...Mihee Kim.
I was just thinking.
Mihee: ...Wha?
Nagino: If your friend's daughter is alive,
regrets what she had done, and tries
to prevent it from happening again...
I think that has meaning. The person
your acquaintance is trying to save
would be glad with a bitter smile.
So don't be hopeless. What is your
goal by acting like you're not the
unlucky one and igoring yourself?
You were the one that said lying
was wrong. Face the truth.
I'll be grateful, big sister.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Let reality... crush you...
Nagino: That's impossible. I may be able to
conquer reality, but the reverse
could never happen.
-ENDING-
Mihee: ...You're...
Nagino: I'm just a normal person born to two
normal people.
To me, you're just as normal.
I'll only say this once:
...West of here, in a place called
Apfelland, is a woman named Kuga.
Tell her Mirai sends her regards.
She'll take you to someone that can
remove the poison from your body.
...I was happy, big sis.
MAKI.
Beam me up.
Nagino Ise disappeard.

-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: Today, I met a stupid girl.
She had green hair that rubbed me
the wrong way.
Ahh, this is no good.
...A diary is embarrassing when you
read it later.
How can I record the events of that
day?
-STAGE 1-
Mihee: ...Hmhm.
Reika: Hm?
Mihee: Hahahahaha!
What a crazy thing to say, stupid!
You say that you're from the future?
Reika: Grrr. A person that calls someone
stupid is the stupid one.
Mihee: Alright, alright, stupid girl.
Then let'stake that castle.
Let's go!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Congratulations on your marriage,
Harry Chang of High Score!
Yukari, version two!
I always get the hex I'm aiming for.
Sorry, but this is as far as you go.
Ohohohoho.
Mihee: Another stupid girl.
Reika: Hey! I told you I'm not stupid.
Yukari: You're right! How did you know that
I was stupid crazy about games!?
Reika: See, the real thing says stuff like
that.
Mihee: It doesn't matter. I hate stupid
girls the most, after ugly men.
I'm going to kill her...!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Aahh, I lost!
Mihee: There aren't any men to flatter
here...!
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: So, if you're from the future, then
you should know my future, right?
Tell me what it is.
Reika: It's an occupational secret.
Mihee: Hahahahaha.
I thought as much.
That's about all you can say.
Reika: Grrr!
Reika really does know your future!
Mihee: Sure, sure. Just in your own world.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Two women.
Should I say it's a beautiful sight?
Reika: He said I'm beautiful! Aha.
Mihee: I want to kill you before I kill the
enemy.
Reika: Why?
Mihee: Unfortunately, I'm not that thorough
of a woman to flatter the enemy.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...You're good...
Reika: Aha, you're naughty. Ahaha.
Mihee: ...She's more detestable than the
enemy.
-STAGE 3-
Reika: If you really want to know then
I'll tell you. Let's look at this
pink police notepad...
Mihee: What's going through your mind
right now?
Reika: ...Mihee Kim.
You are executed as a first degree
murderer.
Mihee: ...What do you know about me
anyway!?
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: ...A sad wind is blwing.
Mihee: Such a beautiful and insolent woman.
I hate women like you.
Reika: ...You're hurting yourself whenever
you say that.
Mihee: ...How would you know?
Reika: I know since I'm from the future.
Even about things like that.
Freedom: Don't fight you two.
Mihee: ...Both of you, shut up!
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Mihee: Why don't you kill me, stupid girl?
Reika: No one deserves to die.
Not a single person.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: Why do you know about my poisonous
hand?
Reika: I keep telling you, Reika's from
the future.
Mihee: Who's going to believe something
like that!?
Reika: I showed you proof, and this is what I
get.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: Your face is distorted even before
the battle.
Mihee: Why is everyone talking about the
face, the face, the face!?
Reika: It might be her personality that's
distorted.
Mihee: Damn you!
Reika: Analysis complete. You're not afraid
anymore, Mihee. Reika's analysis
skills were #1 at the academy.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Mihee: I'm not afraid anymore, stupid girl?
Reika: You're just afraid of men.
Kagachi: Guooh...
...Huh, I'm being ignored.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: ...I'll kill you.
Reika: Aren't you taking revenge on the
wrong person? It's also strange to
be afraid of men.
Mihee: I'll kill you!
Reika: I keep telling you Reika is on your
side.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: Nightmare? My gretest nightmare is
this woman here!
Reika: Why is she pointing a finger at
Reika?
Mihee: If you're not a nightmare, then what
is!?
Reika: How about a math test chasing after
you or eating a stirfry with only
bell peppers in it?
Tsukiko: Those would indeed be nightmares
too.
Mihee: Shut up. Talking to you makes
everyone go stupid!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...It's not over yet.
Mihee: It's a monster.
Reika: Reika isn't afraid of things like
this.
Mihee: Math tests are scarier?
Reika: If you get a bad grade, you have to
retake the test, and if you do bad
again, you have to take it again.
-ENDING-
As she watched the castle disappear,
Mihee Kim nodded as if she made some
sort of resolution.
Mihee: Fine.
I'll make you my wife.
You should be happy.
Reika: Hmm, where'd that come from?
Mihee: The best thing to do about fear is
to eat it, take it all in. Quit
complaining. Let's go for a drink.
Reika: I'm not supposed to drink yet.
Mihee: It's okay. I make the rules.
...Well, let's get something to eat.
Reika: I can go along with that.
Hmm... How did it turn out like
this?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--G3. Mihee + Munchausen----------------------------------------------(mi+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Mihee: This tea is delicious.
Munchausen: Yes, indeed it is.
Mihee: How about being my butler?
Quit your job with that bitch.
Munchausen: You sound serious. Were today's
battles not to your liking?
Mihee: Yeah, they were the worst battles
I've ever been through.
(And now to the main story!)
-STAGE 1-
Munchausen: We are almost at the castle.
Mihee: ...Why me...? No, never mind.
Once I get involved, I'll go the
distance. Let's do this.
You don't have to fight, so come
with me.
Munchausen: Understood.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Yeah, so Gaiden's sales were pretty
bad. Even the title was called Niigi
Gaiden... It's so awful... Waaaaahh.
Mihee: What's with her?
Munchausen: She seems very sulky.
Yukari: Huh!? Where'd you come from!? I need
time to prepare, you know, so if
you're gonna come, lemme know first!
Mihee: I don't think there's any reason to
sulk after coming all this way to
the castle.
Munchausen: Yes, indeed. Ay any rate, there's a
certain air about it when one sulks
while nibbling on a rice cracker.
Yukari: You there, shut up!
Let's hurry up and fight!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: I'm speeding down the road of
consecutive losses.
Munchausen: I feel like I peeped at an
entertainer in her dressing room.
Mihee: I feel sorry for her.
Should I make her my wife?
-STAGE 2-
Mihee: At any rate, what's with this castle
and the sad girl just now?
Munchausen: I think she's working part-time at
the castle.
Mihee: So, the building is exquisite, but
they keep the labor costs low.
Munchausen: It's a castle like a modern day
microcosm.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: I was a public servant for 33 years.
I did my best, but did that country
really get any better?
Mihee: I'm starting to feel sad.
Munchausen: I feel like I peeped at an
entertainer in her dressing room.
Mihee: Didn't you say that earlier?
Munchausen: Did I?
Shikou: When did you two...!? Ah!
Welcome, foreigners.
...Uhh, let's do battle.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: My social security!
Munchausen: What a harsh world.
Mihee: ...Yeah.
-STAGE 3-
Mihee: ...I'm feeling a tiredness from
something unrelated to these
battles.
Munchausen: I'll prepare some tea when this is
all over.
Mihee: Will there be any biscuits?
Munchausen: Whatever you like.
Mihee: Alright, I'll do my best.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: I have no choice but to immerse
myself in my hobby. There's nothing
else to do.
I can't snack because I worry about
my weight, so I do embroidery, knit
or paint at the cultural center.
Mihee: ...
Munchausen: Do you have anything to say?
Mihee: ...Life seems tough.
Freedom: ...Huh!? Welcome, warriors.
You're midway through, so you can't
get through so easily.
I do battle exercises as a hobby.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: You're going to end up just like
this too.
Mihee: Wow, what awful last words!
Munchausen: She was so convincing.
-STAGE 4-
Mihee: This castle is indeed a terrible
place.
Munchausen: The beauty of this castle is
starting to look feigned.
Mihee: ...But, I'm glad I don't get fat
even when I eat.
Munchausen: Our conversations are starting to
sound more and more idiotic.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: What else can I do if I quit this
job? It's pitiful to grow old when
my only good trait is my strength.
Do I have to go back to school
again?
Mihee: I feel so bad for him that I've lost
my will to fight.
Munchausen: Yes, but it's also our job to dodge
the bullets.
Kagachi: Huh!? ...Were you listening in on
the poem in my heart?
Mihee: ...No, don't worry.
I didn't hear anything.
Kagachi: Oh good. Then let's fight.
I'm strong, you know.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I guess I have no choice but to take
up farming in the countryside.
Mihee: At least you have a place to go home
to.
Kagachi: I wouldn't have hesitated if I
hadn't bought a house in Utah.
Munchausen: Oh, that is harsh.
-STAGE 5-
Mihee: ...I've never had such difficult
battles.
Munchausen: I can see what you mean.
Mihee: What if the last enemy is even more
miserable than the others?
Munchausen: I don't think the enemy of the enemy
needs to be concerned about that.
Mihee: What are you saying? If I have to
fight, I at least want to fight in
a good mood.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare.
Mihee: Huh!? Is that a nightmare?
Munchausen: I imagine, in a way, it is.
Mihee: Yeah. Wait, what? If that were true,
that means we have to listen to an
even sadder story than before!
Tsukiko: Hmm, it seems you don't understand
what I mean when I say the greatest
nightmare. I am the strongest.
I'm young, beautiful, and have a
bright future. No problems here.
Aahahaha.
Mihee/Munchausen: Oh?
Tsukiko: Wh-what kind of reaction is that?
Munchausen: Good for you.
Mihee: Yeah, I'm going to be able to go
all-out.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: ...Let reality crush you...
Mihee: What awful words.
Munchausen: Indeed.
*crumble*
Mihee: After this is over...
No, let's just fight for now.
-ENDING-
Mihee: It's over...
Munchausen: Indeed.
Mihee: ...Did you say you'd prepare some
tea?
Munchausen: Yes. I've prepared some with honey
to take care of your fatigue.
Mihee: I'll eat the biscuits and start
fresh tomrrow.
Munchausen: What a cozy way to end.
Mihee: Then I'll also buy a Prada bag.
I saw a department store sale on
the way over here.
Munchausen: ...I see.
Mihee: And then I'll...

--H1. Nagino + Reika--------------------------------------------------(na+re)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: Stardate 20120607. I'm a traveling
sandwich chef brought to this
country by a meddlesome adult.
The person I am with it most likely
the time traveler Reika. She thinks
she's keeping that fact a secret.
Reika: What are you mumbling about!?
Let's get going.
Nagino: Ookay.
-STAGE 1-
Nagino: It's a big castle.
Reika: I wonder if there's such a thing as
a small castle.
Nagino: Oh, I see. Then maybe a big castle
is just rhetorical.
Reika: Nagi sure knows a very hard wrod.
Well, let's go take a look around.
Nagino: Yay!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: I used to always wonder, why do the
people I like always end up hating
me? Even Kaiho and Takano.
They all leave me; they all do.
...Talking bout AZANT.
Is that so important?
Is that reason enough to fight?
Reika: ...
Nagino: Don't worry about it. That's a basic
psychological state of someone who's
been dumped. It won't affect battle.
Reika: Did your personalty suddenly
change?
Nagino: ...No.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Why!?
Nagino: Because you're a fool.
-STAGE 2-
Reika: It's kind of a sad castle.
Nagino: A building's a building, big sis.
There might be sad houses, but
there aren't any sad castles.
Reika: Hmm, now that you mention it, I
guess so.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...I've trained many girls to fight
gods until now, but I only sent them
to their deaths.
It must be the way of this country:
To suck the blood of young girls and
go on living.
Nagino: So what do you think, big sis?
Do you hink this is sad?
Reika: ...No. I think it's pitiful, but it
seems like something could have been
done...
Nagino: I think so too.
Shikou: ...How would you know how I feel?
Nagino: You were talking because you wanted
someone to understand you, right?
...You selfish person.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...
Reika: ...If you have regrets, then you
should have done something about it.
-STAGE 3-
Reika: You know, you're kind of strange,
Nagi. You say such difficult
things. In that case...
Background check time! Let's see,
according to my police notes, Nagino
Ise died last year... Huh?
Nagino: Never mind that. Let's get going.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: I was afraid of that girl. It seemed
like she would take him away from
me.
That's why I was nice to her.
That was my greatest sin.
Reika: When does being nice become a sin?
Nagino: It depends on the person.
Freedom: So you've come to cast judgement on
me.
Nagino: I don't cast judgement on anybody.
If you want judgement, then just ask
yourself.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: ...I will probably be judged for
eternity.
Nagino: Do it until you're tired of it.
-STAGE 4-
Reika: ...So, what's your real name?
Nagino: There are some things in life you'd
be better off not worrying about.
Reika: Are you threatening me?
Nagino: I never threaten anyone. I'd kill
before I'd threaten, I don't like
holding back. It's so lukewarm.
You don't have to worry.
Reika: Oh, okay.
Then I won't.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: I've been waiting for you...
Reika: Are you one of Reika's fans?
Kagachi: You two are both stronger then me.
But I will protect Tsukiko from you.
Nagino: How incoherent. Fighting when you
can't win. The best way to protect
her is to hide.
Kagachi: You wouldn't understand.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: Now, I'll be together with her even
in hell.
Reika: Why is that the only solution you
can come up with? You could have
talked to me about it!
-STAGE 5-
Reika: ...Why are you here, Nagi?
And why is everyone else here?
Nagino: When I'm here, it means that there
is something here that shouldn't
belong. Just like you, big sis.
Reika: This castle itself is a time crime?
Nagino: If you're a cop, it's probably
better for you to investigate
yourself, big sis.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: ...I hope Koh gets here soon.
I'm getitng tired of waiting as well
as fighting.
Reika: ...Is this Tsukiko, the person that
guy was talking about?
Tsukiko: Kagachi must have lost if you're
here. Fine. I'll fight. Then I'll
use your blood to resurrect Kagachi.
Reika: How occult.
Nagino: ...I see. So this is the game.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Reika: Phew, now it's finally over.
Nagino: ...Wait!
Nagino: !
Reika: Two Nagis?
Nagino: There's still another one of me.
Nagino: I know.
The other me.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Reika: ...Two Nagis...?
Nagino: Is this genetics?
My father also had these powers.
Nagino: ...That's right. Big sis, you aren't
the first to time travel, and you
won't be the last.
Reika: ...Eh?
Buh? Nagi... Naaaagiiii...
Where are you?
Nagino: Don't turn around. You'll find the
Dream Park System ahead. Destroy it,
and everything will be resolved.
When Reika turned around, there was
no longer anybody there. Only a
gust of wind was blowing.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Nagino: Stardate 20120603. I'm a traveling
sandwich chef brought to this
country by a meddlesome adult.
Since I have some free time today,
I borrowed the butler to solve the
incident.
Munchausen: Now milady, let us be off.
Nagino: Ookay.
-STAGE 1-
Nagino: There's the castle.
It looks like a castle from a
fantasy.
Munchausen: It does indeed, milady.
Nagino: I'm sorry to take you away from
big sister Fumiko.
Munchausen: Not at all. Lady Fumiko has also
sworn her allegiance to you.
Please do not be concerned.
Nagino: Really Then, let's conquer and
move forward. Let's take down the
castle with a frontal attack.
Munchausen: As you wish.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: Welcome, newbie. I've been super-
popular since the last title and
in...Huh? Hey...
Munchausen: There once was a woman in a dusty
little town.
There's no use in crying all day.
That's why I took the hand of a
demon and decided to save the world.
I'll take on all the gods and fight
for the beautiful world I desire.
Nagino: A thrilling red car.
Just staring at this filthy town as
the sun rises has come to an end.
Stop watching, Player.
Another step could lead to darkness.
Tomorrow might be good though.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
Yukari: You're mixing it with humming...
I'm pissed off! I'll make you cry
uncle!
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Awwwww! I'm against 2P Mode!
Nagino: I think it's better than three
against one.
Munchausen: Indeed, it is.
-STAGE 2-
Nagino: That was a good warm-up.
Munchausen: Let's not get too conceited.
Anyone can look down on anyone.
Nagino: Mkay.
Munchausen: Then let's get to the second one.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: Welcome.
You appear to be royalty of some
sort...Huh? Hey?
Nagino: There once was a woman who lived in
the mountains that tasted like
tears.
There's no use in crying all day.
That's why I took the hand of a
demon and decided to enchant men.
I'll take on all justice to enchant
the men I consider beautiful.
Pure love is about theft and
robbery. Whoever it may be, things
naturally end up that way.
Munchausen: The blood boils.
Just staring at this filthy town as
the sun rises has come to an end.
Stop looking and drop down to hell.
Another step could lead to darkness.
It could become a habit.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: I can't believe I was made such a
fool of, and it ends this way.
Nagino: There was once a time when singing
was the same as fighting.
Munchausen: This young lady here is the last of
that kind.
-STAGE 3-
Munchausen: It looks like we're on a roll.
Well then, let's move on more
quickly.
Nagino: Ookay.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Munchausen: Looking for a nice thrill,
I dance the night in the trill.
Singing at night, dreaming
of the morning.
I will embrace your dream and
contest the world.
Nagino: Looking for a nice thrill.
I sleep through the night
with the trill.
I take the last gamble,
embracing your dream.
If I die before I wake,
I will wait for you in hell.
Munchausen: Instead of crying all day,
I'm going to fight as a rebel.
Nagino: Lalalala lalalala lalala lalalala.
I'm so happy. Look, the dawn is so
beautiful. As if to praise me.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: I wanted to at least get a word in
also...
Munchausen: Pardon us.
-STAGE 4-
Nagino: Hey, did your face change just now?
Munchausen: It's just your imagination, milady.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: There you are, singing enemy.
Nagino: He called us the singing enemy.
Munchausen: Well then, here goes as requested.
Nagino: Watch the wind blow and memories
return. The beating drum of yore.
The sound of grass. The whinny of
the war horse. The brilliance
of the spear.
Munchausen: Long ago, there was an army that
gathered to take back the light.
People remember the brightness
and sing a song.
Nagino: That was the subtle memory of
days long gone.
And since then, when people think of
the future. People remember the
brightness and sing a song.
Munchausen: Behold wind. After a long time, it
is complete once again.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: You're strong...
Nagino: Thanks.
-STAGE 5-
Munchausen: Well then, let's get to the last
Noh song.
Nagino: A single strand of light that
shined out of despair. A small
fortress that defied the darkness.
The humans succeeded this light.
The weakest species,
the species of light.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: The air has changed...
So you were preparing your magic as
you were going through the castle.
Munchausen: A singer has a singer's way of doing
battle.
Nagino: A single strand of light that
shined out of despair. A small
fortress that defied the darkness.
The humans succeeded this light.
The weakest species,
the species of light.
Munchausen: A woman gave birth to a child. That
child gave birth, and that child
gave birth. And 10,000 years went by.
Nagino: A single woman descendant gathered
the light on earth and used it for
her magic. A magic called hope.
It comes again. How dusky.
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Tsukiko: Don't think you've won just because
of this.
Munchausen: Don't think you're forgiven already.
-ENDING-
The castle disappeared into an
illusion.
Nagino: *yawn* It's morning...
I'm sleepy.
Munchausen: It's not good to stay up all night,
milady. I'll carry you on my back.
Nagino: No thanks. I'm not a child, so I'll
walk back home.
Munchausen: Hmm, I am impressed by your will.
It is a good thing you don't use
your magic for your own sake.
I've actually been slightly moved.
I wish there was some way I could
show my praise for you.
Nagino: Then let's have French toast for
breakfast.
Munchausen: As you wish, milady.

--I1. Reika + Munchausen----------------------------------------------(re+mu)--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-PROLOGUE-
Reika: Umm...
Munchausen: What is it, milady?
Reika: Have we met in the future?
About 500 years from now.
Munchausen: Even if I did live 500 years and
returned to the past to answer that.
I don't think I would know.
Reika: Ah, I see.
You're smart, Munkie.
Munchausen: Munkie has a fresh ring to it.
Reika: By the way, what am I doing here
anyway?
Munchausen: I don't have an answer to that,
milady.
The two nod their head sideways.
Can the game start like this...?
-STAGE 1-
Reika: Ah, that castle is beautiful.
Munchausen: Indeed, it is.
Reika: ...Hmm, I've forgotten something
after all. I wonder what Reika
forgot?
Munchausen: Well, there still is the matter of
finding the missing people, so I imagine
you can try to remember gradually.
Reika: Yeah, you're right.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI APPEARS-
Yukari: You really kept me waiting.
What took you so long?
Reika: Buh, who is she?
Munchausen: I don't know either.
Reika: Well, then that's that.
Yukari: Hey!? Wait! Hold on!
I'm the stage boss! The enemy!
Did you forget already?
Reika: ...Huh.
Yukari: What do you mean "huh"?
Munchausen: She looks like she's about to cry,
so I think it's best if we gave her
a bit more attention.
Reika: It's kind of a pain.
-YUKARI HORIGUCHI DEFEATED-
Yukari: Everyone's been telling me recently
that my presence is weak!
Munchausen: It's a young person's assertion.
Yukari: That's girl, mister!
17 is still a girl!
-STAGE 2-
Reika: Hmmm, there's something weird about
that castle.
Munchausen: ...What is strange about it?
Reika: The wind.
The wind from the castle doesn't
feel this good.
Munchausen: Hmm, you're quite the sage, milady.
Even I must really concentrate to
understand what the wind is saying.
Humans have relied too much on their
sight that they have lost their
ability to feel the wind.
Reika: Reika hasn't even been robotically
or genetically altered. I don't even
have a Methuselah program.
Heheh, that's why I'm a dropout.
I don't even have an IQ of 200,
and I always catch a cold.
Munchausen: I'm not sure what Methuselah is,
but in the days when people used
magic, everyone was like that.
The wind loved the people back then.
After all these years, one who can
hear the song of the wind is born.
-SHIKOU MIBUYA APPEARS-
Shikou: ...You're here again?
Reika: Munkie, did you come here yesterday?
Munchausen: I don't recall doing that.
Shikou: I'm talking about that girl.
Time Gal Reika.
Reika: Hmm? Me? I have no sense of
direction, so there's no way I could
come here twice.
Shikou: ...That's not something to say in
such a proud tone. Never mind. I
just need to do my job. Here I come!
-SHIKOU MIBUYA DEFEATED-
Shikou: ...You're weaker than last time...
Reika: I told you that wasn't me.
Shikou: I still lost though.
Reika: Listen to me!
-STAGE 3-
Reika: The Methuselah program continuously
combines a sperm and egg to create
humans with specific traits.
It takes longer than genetic
manipulation, but it isn't as bad
as it sounds.
Munchausen: So it's like insect poison.
No, perhaps it is more like Sir
Mibuya's tenchinque, Blue Blood.
Reika: Reika doesn't know much about that,
but thanks to the Methuselah
program, people can live to be 150.
Munchausen: I see.
And what about you, Lady Reika?
Reika: Reika? Iono. I haven't done any of
that, so I'll probably only live
to be about 80.
Reika was born by a mistake.
Mama and Papa made me the
old-fashioned way, and I was born.
-FREEDOM WIND APPEARS-
Freedom: A wind from far away is blowing.
...I don't know how, but you have
the ability to travel through time.
Reika: Uh-huh.
Reika's a time traveler...
I mean, Time Gal.
Freedom: I see.
...Why do you travel through time.
Reika: ...There might some place that
Reika can call home.
Freedom: I hope you find it.
Well then, let's do battle.
-FREEDOM WIND DEFEATED-
Freedom: This girl can hear the song of the
wind... I see...
-STAGE 4-
Reika: What is the song of the wind?
Munchausen: ...It is an ancient memory, about
how people use magic because they
have no fangs, fur or wings.
The goddess Argana gave people magic
because they were the weakest
species that had nothing.
Reika: Huh? I know Reika isn't very smart
and won't live for very long, but
it doesn't mean she has nothing.
...Food tastes good everyday, and...
Munchausen: That is magic. Just because you
don't have a long lifespan, aren't
smart, catch colds easily, or
people call you stupid doesn't
mean you have to be unhappy.
The wonder of unhappiness is not
being unhappy. Wonder itself is
magic.
-KAGACHI APPEARS-
Kagachi: You looked as though you had no
doubts yesterday. What worries you
today?
Reika: Hmm.
Happiness is so difficult.
Kagachi: Yesterday, you came and left a
message before you defeated me.
Reika: Huh? Me again? If it were me, why
don't I just show up as me? It's not
a time paradox like the old days.
Kagachi: Ask yourself. Here's the message:
"Learn the song of the wind."
Reika: That sorta sounds like me.
Munchausen: Not just slightly.
...Hmm.
Kagachi: Let us do battle.
-KAGACHI DEFEATED-
Kagachi: I... lost again...
Reika: The future me is very strong.
Munchausen: ...
-STAGE 5-
Reika: So, the future me wants me to learn
the song of the wind. Do you know
what she's talking about, Munkie?
Munchausen: Of course I do, milady.
Reika: What is it?
Munchausen: A normal song. An incoherent one at
that. Though it may act as a spell
to awaken people from nightmares.
It is a lullaby and an archaic
spell. But I do not understand why
such a weak spell is mentioned...
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA APPEARS-
Tsukiko: Welcome to the castle of nightmares.
I am your greatest nightmare...
Reika: If we beat her, will it end?
Alright, Reika will do her best.
Tsukiko: That won't be possible.
Reika: Huh? It's not possibl!?
Munchausen: I wouldn't take her too seriously.
Tsukiko: Fact is still fact.
This dream has no ending. Even if
you win, the same dream will start
all over. Your journey ends here.
Munchausen: So that's what the song of the wind
is for... Miss Rieka! Use the song I
just taught you! The song that ends
nightmares!
Reika: Uh, uhhh!
Um, what kind of song was it again?
Tsukiko: Hopeless girl.
But... I'm relieved!
-TSUKIKO JOHIMA DEFEATED-
Munchausen: Now!
Reika: Uhh, things that are lost, things
that have perished, a far away home,
ancient beats, the sound of glass,
the light of the stove, the wind
on a hill...
Munchausen: *sigh*
...You have it all wrong.
Wait... This magic...
Reika: It is the subtle memories
of a time long ago.
When thinking of the future, people
will remember the brightness and
sing a song.
Song of the wind, shine a light
on the darkness of my heart.
Listen wind, to the moment when
woman and wind come together
again after the ages.
A single strand of light that
shined out of despair. A small
fortress that defied the darkness.
The humans succeeded this light.
The weakest species,
the species of light.
A woman gave birth to a child.
That child gave birth, and that
child gave birth and waited for ages.
A single woman descendant gathered
the light on earth and used it for
her magic. A magic called hope.
It comes again. How dusky.
*crumble*
-ENDING-
Reika: We win! Reika's a genius!
Woohoo!
Munchausen: The spell became complete because
she besmirched the song...?
Unbelievable. She truly is a...
Reika: Hm? What?
You know, I'm still forgetting
something.
Ah, I remember!
I have to get in Koh's way!
Whoa! I'm 18 hours late! Aaaaahh!
Munchausen: She went off running...
Ah, I understand everything now.
The Dream Park was tampered with...
...I see. If the blame were put on
Miss Reika, then one can elude those
who keep complete track of time...
Munchausen took off his glasses and
watched Reika as she disappeared
into the distance.
