Track 9: Before "The Greatest Fighter" Tournament

Wolfram: ....I finally caught you..... Good grief... where have you been and what have you been doing till now? First, you leave me, your fiancé, behind, then you just up and go on a trip, and now you've even managed to fall off a cliff....! This is why I call you a henachoko(rookie). *pause* C'mon, hold on tight. I'll pull you up...... Eh? What a dreadful thing to say. If that were to happen, then..... I'll fall with you.

Murata: Shibuya, you're too careless. You are someone who must be protected, no matter what.... You and I have a very special relationship. I can assist the king which possesses a great amount of maryoku. For that reason, this existence of mine was created. These memories I've accumulated since the time I was called the Daikenja, I have them so that I can help you. But this is not a mere mission for me, even though I possess this ability, the truth is that I sincerely want to help you. If you get used to using your powers, I'll be happy.

---

Shibuya (Monologue): After being captured in Flynn-san's mansion, and because I was being mistaken for a descendant of the Wincotts, Murata and I were taken to Big Shimaron. It seems that blood relatives of the Wincotts can manipulate anyone who has been infected with the Wincott poison.

Murata: I heard that Big Shimaron was able to infect an owner of the forbidden key with the poison. So the strategy seems to be that they want to trade the Wincott descendant. What they want to trade the descendant for, is all of Caloria prisoners of war who were never returned.

Shibuya: In the end, Flynn-san wasn't trying to use me to gain wealth or power, but to protect her citizens. There's no way I approve the means that she's using but, she's not a bad person. I definitely think so. It's definitely as I thought.

Murata: *sighs* This is so like you Shibuya, really.... I can't even think like that...

Yuuri (M): In any case, during our trip we were captured by the Small Shimaron's army, to be used in a test to try the power of a forbidden box! ... Wait! Small Shimaron also has a box?! And on top of that Maxine was there! The rumor that he can't die was true!

Murata: He's a "die hard" guy, huh?

Yuuri(M): When Maxine pulled out the key to the box, it was that unforgettable thing, the arm that Conrad had lost. Why does Small Shimaron have that?!

Murata: Probably, the traitor entered Shin Makoku. We sure were outwitted , huh?

Yuuri(M): But, in the end, since that was the wrong key, the unmanageable force of the box, caused a devastating damage on the Midwest part of the continent. I was able to meet with Wolfram, who had come looking for me, and Josak, who was always by my side but the situation was the worst....

Murata: For the time being, Shibuya's hace was identified, and since Flynn with her female body could not do it, Shibuya ended up playing the part of the deceased Norman Gilbit. Good grief, Shibuya you sure are softhearted.

Yuuri(M): Amidst our reconstruction efforts (in Caloria), a request arrived to participate in "The greatest fighting event on the planet", shortened as " The Greatest Fighter" that takes place every four years. Like we would have time for something like that while we're in the middle of reconstructing.... wait... eh? The winner can ask for anything they want? Then if we win The Greatest Fighter we can get the forbidden box? Really!?

Murata: Hey, Shibuya! Do you really mean that?

Yuuri (M): Well, there's no other choice! We quickly formed a team in Caloria and headed to Big Shimaron by sea on a high-speed vessel! Alright, let's do it! Let's win this thing! Woooooooh!

Murata: Oh... , my, my...

-- On the Dougard's high-speed vessel --

FX: *water splashing*

Yuuri: So, Murata is the Daikenja.... I can't believe that the guy who was my classmate during the second and third year of junior high, the honor student specs-kun is, the legendary Daikenja who has accumulated memories for who knows how many thousands of years ....

Murata: Now, now, Shibuya. Don't worry too much about this....

Yuuri: Even if you say that, if you are suddenly told that your friend who up until yesterday was an average guy, was alive a thousand, two thousand years ago, it is obvious you're going to panic.

Murata: That doesn't mean that I've been alive for several thousands of years, you know? Otherwise I'd be like an immortal vampire, or one of those well known zombie characters you know?

Yuuri: Song Il Gook you say... yeah, he has a beautiful smile, that well known South Korean actor... eh? Zombie?!

Murata: Yes." I'm just your average zombie with a beautiful smile. Always showing my smile, always showing my open flesh wounds. Along with my protruding teeth, you can see my bones sticking out!"

Yuuri: Wah.... that stinks.

Murata: Hm. But it doesn't mean I've lived for such a long time. I simply have the memories of dozens of people. It's like remembering the main characters you've empathized with in several dozens of movies that you've watched. Since we've all used the same soul, it's easy to empathize with them, you know? But in reality I'm just an average high-school student, it's not like out of the sudden one of my past selfs will start talking or something.

Yuuri: If one of them did, is not like I could understand them anyways. I mean, what kind of memories do you have from a couple thousand years ago? Like do you have memories from Japan's Yayoi's or Joumon's periods? Ah! It's like those clay figures and images could speak, right?

Murata: "What's up! I'm Clay Figure! Lend me your confidence!"

Yuuri: It's not confidence, it's "energy"!

Murata: Energy would be a little difficult, I don't think you can do that. Even if I can't talk with the memories of my past, it's fine to just enjoy my current life.

Yuuri: Well, even if you say that, you know? Aren't there days where you just feel like talking about stories of the golden days? In fact, I'm sure that you could talk about that with the Mazoku. Those guys are discreet about it, but many of them are easily over 100 years old. Like Wolfram for example, even though he looks like such a beautiful teen, man! he's over eighty years old. Ah! But I think I could also talk about things that happened 80 years ago. That's because of all the history textbooks I've read in school, ya know? Uhm... "iikuni... tsukurou".... The Kamakura Shogunate!!! Uwah~! Wolf was alive during the Kamakura Period?!

Murata: You're confusing 1920 with 1192...

Yuuri: Ah, you're right. Haha! I was scared there for a moment. I thought I was hanging out with someone who was in the same class as Minamoto no Yoritomo.

Murata:*laughs* I bet you never thought it would be your turn to make "a good country"(*5), right? That's pretty cool, huh? Your rival would be Yoritomo? And your lover, Sandayuu.

Yuuri: No, that part about Sandayuu is wrong.

Murata: Heh.... Listen, okay?

Yuuri: Eh? What...what is it?

Murata: It's fun isn't it?

Yuuri: Eh? What is?

Murata: This moment right now, I mean. It's fun and you never said anything.

Yuuri: What's with you?

Murata: However, if you would have told me your secret, I was ready to tell you mine. But you never said anything to me.

Yuuri: It's just that I... how could I have said that I was flushed down a toilet and GO! I ended up in another world, and became the Maou? No one would have believed me, on the contrary they would have thought "There's something weird about this guy" and would have avoided me.

Murata: The same goes for me. I also didn't say anything.

Yuuri: .... Yes.

Murata: Because it was the first time I met such an important person.... I didn't want to break this happy relationship.

Yuuri: Wow, you're stupid. It didn't break, okay?!

Murata: That's right. It didn't break, quite the opposite.

Yuuri: Yep.

Murata: We've talked it all out, got to know each other better and our friendship got an upgrade. Thank you Shibuya. But at the same time, I'm sorry.

Yuuri: Why?

Murata: I ruined your last escape route. From now on, you can't think this is a dream anymore.

Yuuri: But... uhm, you know? There's nothing we can do about it. That's because this is reality after all..

Murata: Heh....

Yuuri: I finally know that this is real.

-- East Nilson --

Yuuri (M) : When we arrived at East Nilson, the largest port of Big Shimaron, we asked Flynn-san to register us for "The Intelligence-Speed-Skills Tournament! The greatest fighting event on the planet" and took a walk around the city. That's when two beautiful twin girls that could be mistaken for elves, called me out, and they did some fake fortune-telling about my past life and made me feel lightheaded. Then the sheep-hater, cropped ponytail, drove away with them. After that we were just waiting for captain Sizemore and Flynn to return.... That's when Wolfram, who had just been told something mysterious by the Shinzoku twins, pulled my sleeve....

Wolfram: I want to talk...

Yuuri: What is it Wolf? Since we've finally arrived at the port city, let's enjoy ourselves! Wanna go make fun of the souvenir shop guy?

Wolfram: Did you hear what those twins said?

Yuuri: Eh? Jason and Freddy? Eh... what was it that they said?

Wolfram: What they said about me. They said that I have a noble soul.

Yuuri: Yeah, now that I think about it, they're right... I mean, you were raised as a prince, so it shouldn't be strange that someone told you...

Wolfram: Alright, listen Yuuri. Those suspicious words that the twins used to praise me, were meant to entice me. Clearly that was their intention.

Yuuri: Intention?

Murata: Ah... Indeed. They did say that you had the qualities to be king.

Yuuri: Not you too Murata.

Wolfram: They told me this very clearly at a time like this, so that I would want to feel like replacing you as a king. But as for me, I don't feel like that in the slightest.

Yuuri: Eh? What are you saying with such a serious look on your face?

Wolfram: I'm saying you don't need to worry.

Yuuri: ...You don't need to say that, I know that already. Besides, if you were to say that you wanted to be king no matter what, and you were to comply with the eternal peace doctrine, even if I have to hand over the throne...

Wolfram: What's this talk about handing over?! What are you saying, handing over?! Now you listen, Yuuri! Both love and the throne are things you have to fight for! You can't simply give them up!

Yuuri: When you talk like that, you sound just like my mom.

Wolfram: But, I don't have any intentions of stealing the throne of the Mazoku's King. I swear! Ah.... How can't I make you see what's inside this heart of mine?! I know!

Yuuri: Ah, wai... wai...wait! Wolf! Stop pulling me! Where... where are you taking me?!

Wolfram: Come! Let's go visit a different fortune-teller, so that I can prove you that my feelings are true!

Yuuri: Eh?! Just wait a second, I don't believe in fortune-tellers...!

Mysterious fortune teller: (Sarari)Hurry! (Sarari)Hurry! Let me remove the veil!

Yuuri: Uwah! So much of their face is covered by that hood that you can't even see it. This is so shady. You can't even tell if they're a man or a woman.

Mysterious fortune teller: Oh? Do you wish to be told your fortune by Maronsho of Ushimaronsho?

Wolfram: I don't care if it's Maronsho or Goronsho... either one is fine!

Mysterious fortune teller: The accuracy of my predictions is astounding! They stab and pierce, they smoothly cut through you in a bitter way. Women faint one after another. They are the real deal....so now... Sarari~, Sarari~, Saralegui~.... will remove the veil (also: Saralegui will cut you)... *uses normal voice* Mhm... I (informal), no I mean, I(formal) am the mysterious fortune-teller of Ushimaronsho.

Yuuri: And there it is, he describes HIMSELF as mysterious...

Murata: Well, at least it's better than saying that one is a genius, right?

Saralegui/Fortune teller: You people don't believe in my prophecies, huh? Then I'll tell you about your personalities. First, this blond person. Even though you can't tell by his looks, you're a soldier, right? And even though you were born to nobility, now you do not need to be above anyone. You're happy by simply being by someone's side, right?

Wolfram: Agh..ah..gh.... Ah... yes.

Saralegui/Fortune teller: Next is that person with glasses. He ... it looks like he had a job as a doctor at one time, right? And now the third person, the most important one, you! You, under that hat and those sunglasses, you're hiding something that you can't let anyone see, right?

Yuuri: Well, anyone could guess something like that if they see someone who's trying so hard to hide...

Saralegui: Your lucky color is blue.

Yuuri: Uwah~! He's so right!

Murata: Eh? You're convinced by just that?

Saralegui: Now, my real ability has been revealed. Alright, then let's get down to business. What do you want to ask?

Wolfram: I want to prove that even though I was tempted, I do not wish to steal Yuu.... *points* his land.

Murata: Stop!

Saralegui/fortune teller: Ehh?

Murata*whispers*: It's best not to say too much, Lord von Bielefeld. You can talk it over thoroughly when you return to the castle. Shibuya, you too.

Yuuri: Yes, well, certainly this kind of thing is not something you ask a fortune-teller by the roadside. Alright! Let's ask another question, Wolfram. Oh, I know, I want to know if this season my team will win .... ?

Wolfram: LOVE!

Yuuri: That's right, can the Lions love... WHAT?!

Wolfram: I want to ask a question about love. Even though I've expressed my feelings and acted upon them like a man, when it comes to this subject, this guy is always indecisive. I want to know what he actually thinks about me, and what in the world he going to do?

Yuuri: Wolf, first of all the two of us are men, right?

Saralegui/fortune-teller: I see.... you want to settle down quickly, right?

Yuuri:What are you talking about settling down?! We're both men, we're both men!!

Murata: Alright, alright, Shibuya. Don't cry, don't cry over something like that. And as for settling down, Lord von Bielefeld, do you want to marry Shibuya?

Wolfram: Even if that's what I want, he's the type of guy that gets the " ma, ma, ma... rrige maru" !!!! (*marriage blues)

Yuuri: What's that? You make me sound like some chick who's the captain of a salmon fishing boat...

Murata: Even if you say that, Shibuya is still very young, you know? His eyes may sometimes wander towards other people ...

Wolfram: OTHER PEOPLE YOU SAY?!

Murata: Yeah, that's right. It's just that, if right before one's eyes a girl that's totally your type shows up, anyone's would be inclined to look.

Wolfram: What's Yuuri's type?!

Murata: What his type is, huh? That would be someone who's good-looking but with a strong will...

Yuuri: Eh, really?

Murata: Someone who's a little uptight, and also kind of aggressive...

Yuuri: Ah? Yeah, maybe that's right...

Murata: And someone who looks good in a catcher's mask!

Yuuri: Aren't you just talking about the characteristics of baseball players?!

Murata: Ah, and then, someone in a hockey mask would be fine too , right?

Yuuri: That's Jason, right?! I'm sure it's Jason!

Wolfram: CRAP! I knew it! I knew you were like that!

Murata: Now, now, you can't use those vulgar words with your king, Lord von Bielefeld.

Wolfram: If you like someone in a hockey mask, then that includes the masked regional lord. Yuuri, so after all you did have a secret affection for that woman!

Yuuri: Secret affection, you say.... Wolf you're really.... well, I guess it can't be helped since you're 82.

Wolfram: I can't forgive this! When I wasn't looking you up and got all excited about.. ungh... nn..

Murata: Ah, he bit his tongue...

Saralegui/Fortune-teller: But you know, according to my prediction....

Wolfram: yowur pwedicwion ?

Saralegui/Fortune-teller: This, uhm... Yuuri-san? has yet to meet the one he will like. He will soon meet his fated partner, and form a strong bond with that person.

Wolfram: Eeeeeeeeeeek?! HIS *ATED *ARTNER?!

Yuuri: Someone I haven't met, and will soon meet?

Saralegui/Fortune-teller: That's right! I don't know whether it will be "love" or not but you will soon meet someone with long hair, the color of both silver and gold. You will be at the mercy of this person, who will shake your emotions, and eventually you will fall into this person's hands....

Murata: That sounds pretty scary, huh?

Saralegui/Fortune-teller: Huhuhu..... But I'm sure you'll meet him... Hurry! (Sarari),Hurry! (Sarari) Let's lift the veil!

Yuuri: A platinum blonde? Could it be Flynn-san?

Wolfram: WHAT?! Yuuwi, YOU *ASTARD! I KNEW IT YOU AND FLYNN!

Yuuri: But I don't think that prediction will come true...

Murata: EH?! Could it be that after seeing Lord von Bielefeld's face when you look at other people, they just don't satisfy you?

Yuuri: It's just that, come on. I see such a beautiful face all the time that I get tired of it. I get more than enough of that every day. As for beauty goes, the way I have it now, I'm more than satisfied.

Wolfram: ..... Yuuri.....

Yuuri: It's not like pretty boys or pretty girls who are more beautiful than you appear often, right?

Wolfram: ..... Yuuri..... CRAP!!!! AND YOU HAD TO BE THE ONE WHO SAYS THIS?!

Yuuri: Eh?

Wolfram: YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN MY FACE?!

Yuuri: Eh?! Eh?! Why do you have to get like this.....!?

Saralegui: But, I think that's what will happen. You will for sure, be at the mercy of someone who you will soon meet. Because otherwise, it won't be fun.
