Shibuya's[edit]
"Good evening! This is a slightly unusual combination. I'm Shibuya Yuuri from Shibuya's."
"Wait, where am I in that combo name? I don't see Wolfram or Bielefeld anywhere."
"Uh, in the apostrophe?[1] Hey don't make that face like you've eaten nattou for the first time in your life. My name wasn't anywhere in Murakenzu either and Imagawa Yoshimoto[2] isn't anywhere in Imagawayaki[3]. Anyway, lately Saitama has been unbearably hot."
"Since Shin Makoku isn't that hot, come."
"Yeah, I'll go when I go, but I'm talking about red-hot Saitama. Even if I stay home, my room on the second floor is 36C 24 hours a day so I thought of going to the first floor to cool off. When I went down, my mother was in the kitchen with the air conditioning on watching Chinese dramas and eating ice cream."
"If your room is hot, you should use a group of muscle fanners or a bird fan machine. They have those in Shin Makoku."
"Yeah, since that's once again making me sad instead, let's talk about Saitama. So when I go to the living room, no matter how many times I go, she's watching that drama."
"If it's to Shin Makoku, you can come whenever and as many times as you want."
"Yeah, I'll go again soon, but now it's Saitama. So, since she was watching all that time I asked my mom about and she said that it was all 87 episodes! 87 episodes! One more night and summer will be close!"
"You can stay in Shin Makoku the entire summer."
"Yeah, I'll go evacuate there, but Saitama. Saitama. Anyway, with a one hour drama with 87 episodes you can watch and watch and it won't end. Wow China, it was enough just to build the Great Wall."
"It seems like crazy demons fought with a vast number of monsters at that Great Wall or whatever[4]."
"Ummm, I don't think even Matt Damon would want to touch that one. The show was apparently about a harem - a romance drama with the emperor and several wives."
"No way, Yuuri!"
"Eh? What?"
"You want to do polygyny?"
"What's that all of a sudden? I'm not talking about me. For me, one is more than I can handle. Well anyway, I want to make comments like, "With the population so high, the amount of concubines is insaaane!" or "You know, what's up with the emperor being the most beautiful one with all of those women?" ... Why are you nodding?
"The king being the most beautiful. That's a thing."
"No, that's strange. But even the concubines had it hard, huh? Fighting over the one emperor, they'd compete in looks and showcase their talents. When I say talents I mean things like embroidery and crafts."
"That's where Big Brother would prevail."
"Things wouldn't go well and they'd cause problems and cry."
"That's Gunter's specialty."
"Hey, what are you imagining? This is a story that Anissina would smash the TV if she saw, but Mom says that it's popular because all the women have different characteristics."
"Is there someone in the concubines who's good at sword fighting?"
"There weren't any. If we're talking about Japanese dramas that's a normal thing - a daughter of a warrior dressed like a young samurai fighting evil. But it looks like the emperors in China prefer refined, gentle beauties."
"I see, there were none. Okay."
"Wh-why are you so happy, Wolf?"
"Then were there any concubines who talked like drag queens and wore excessively scandalous clothes even though they had a good physique?"
"No, there weren't any characters so entertaining like that."
"I see! There weren't any. Okay! Then were there any musclebound concubines with split chins!?"
"There weren't any like that!"
"Alright, I've got this one in the bag!"
"Hey Wolf, what, just what exactly are you imagining, Mr. Wolf?!"

- ↑ A Daimyo in the Sengoku Period.
- ↑ A festival food that's circular cake-like sweet filled with red bean paste.
