[Sonoko-sama's dream]
Sonoko's dream - late night edition
Son: Morning y'all!
Yuu: Welcome, our pure customer.
Son: Oh? Yuuyu?
Yuu: This is the Hero Bar. We specialise on female customers, allow us to take care of you.
Son: Hoho... Hohoho...
Kar: Miss, who would you like to order?
Son: Well that's an interesting development, time to enjoy it! One Wasshi, please!
Tou: Hello, Sonocchi.
Son: Hey, Wasshi, what's the matter, opening a shop like this?
Tou: I wanted us Heroes to be able to help girls. I thought it'd be easy for them to talk about their worries in a place like this.
Son: What a wonderful goal. The Shinju-sama must be overjoyed too.
Tou: Sonocchi, is there anything weighing on your mind?
Son: I'm having issues coming up with material for a new story, I guess.
Tou: Ah, one of those creativity crises perhaps?
Son: I don't really want to call it a slump, though.
Tou: Hmm, how troublesome.
Tou: How can we cure that condition?
Son: Let's see. Maybe if I get to experience something exciting, an idea will just whoosh and come out just like that.
Tou: In that case, Sonocchi. Do you want to experience something exciting... with me?
Son: W-Wah-Wasshi!?
Tou: It's alright. Just close your eyes...
Son: That's the dream I saw. That was a surprise.
Tou: Hey! Why am I so vulgar in your dream?
Son: You were wonderful that way too, Wasshi!
Tou: Don't try to change the subject!
Fuu: A place where you can chat with the Heroes, huh.
Fuu: If there was a place like that, I'd be a regular there and hog Itsuki all to myself.
Tou: But you already spend all of your time together... Such deep love.
Fuu: I'd order enough Dom Perignon udon to make Itsuki the top earner... I'm quite devoted if I do say so myself.
Kar: Exactly what is Dom Perignon udon supposed to be...
Kar: But jeez, even Sonoko's dreams are something else.
Tou: Sonocchi's been this way since elementary school...
Son: You know, there are times when I always see dreams.
Tou: So that's why you regularly bring up your dreams, huh.
Tou: What if you have Miko qualities too, Sonocchi?
Son: Oh? I had a hidden talent like that? Sounds nice.
Son: Beep beep beep. I just had a vision! Wasshi's going to do a comedy skit!
Tou: Then let me do a somewhat dangerous national defence gag.
Fuu: Stop! What Tougou calls "dangerous" means "super dangerous" to anybody else!
Fuu: ...Phew, being a tsukkomi is rough. Karin, don't slack off.
Kar: Ah, my bad. I was just thinking I haven't seen any dreams lately.
Its: They say you'll get to see the dream you want if you write down the contents on a piece of paper and put it under your pillow before sleep.
Kar: Huh. Well, not that I'm going to bother testing that.
Fuu: Or so she says. I bet you want to see a dream involving an all-you-can-eat dried sardine buffet.
Kar: I'm already eating as many as I want in reality.
Kar: What about you, Fuu? I bet you want to see a dream where you can eat as much udon as you want.
Fuu: I'm also eating as much udon as I want in reality already.
Kar: ...Take care of your health, okay? Udon is tasty though.
Fuu: And I see dreams of myself eating udon too.
Kar: So you've already been seeing those dreams!
Fuu: Kamaage udon for dinner, and niku bukkake udon in my sleep. Different varieties, so I don't get tired of them.
Yuu: Such an endless love for udon.
Kar: Itsuki, have you seen any dreams lately?
Its: I haven't, but last night I got a calf cramp while sleeping... It hurt.
Its: It felt prickly... I thought it was just my imagination, but then the pain washed over and made me realise I wasn't dreaming after all.
Yuu: Ah, that's painful. Here, here.
Its: I almost called Onee-chan to me...
Tou: Well, with our party at full swing, it's time for a national defence ga...
Fuu: Quit it!
Son: I'm probably going to see a dream tonight too.
Kar: Write the contents of the dream and put the paper under the pillow, was it?
Kar: ...I-I'm just trying it out.
Kar: ...Just trying.
Sonoko's dream - fierce fight edition.
Son: Wasshi, Sancho-san powered up!
Tou: Huh? What's that all of a sudden!?
Son: He told me he's been a fairy all along...
Tou: That sounds weirdly plausible...
Tou: So, what exactly was the power-up?
Son: I can take out weapons that are hidden in his mouth.
Son: Sancho, number four! Justice! Hero Spear! ...Kind of like that.
Tou: Sounds like he's a pretty dangerous being... No offence, Sonocchi.
Tou: But I must verify if Sancho's virtuous or not!
Son: Eh? W-Wasshi?
Tou: National defence transformation!
Yuu: I'll help too! Hero! Guts! Best match!
Son: Don't do it! Wasshi, Yuuyu, don't fight Sancho!
Its: I'll join this battle too! Karin-san! Yuuna-san! I'll borrow your heroic powers!
Yuu: Seiya! Voltech Hero Kick!
Son: Aw man, this is a disaster.
Son: And that's the dream I saw.
Tou: You see some unbelievable stuff.
Kar: And I was wondering why I didn't see it. Guess it went to you.
Son: Huh, what did?
Kar: Ah, uh. cough N-Nothing.
Kar: Hm!? Was there someone who didn't appear in your dream but appeared in mine, Nibosshi?
Kar: I-I'm telling you it's nothing! End of discussion! Stop digging so deep!
Yuu: Karin-chan, your face is all red. Are you okay?
Kar: Y-Yeah. I'm just fine.
Fuu: Do you wake up tired after seeing dreams this crazy?
Son: Don't think so. But that time I dreamt I was banned from eating udon really had me scared... I woke up drenched in sweat.
Fuu: That's straight up a nightmare... I'm getting goosebumps.
Tou: Speaking of bad dreams, I've seen one myself... I dreamt that me and Yuuna-chan had a fight.
Yuu: Eh? Me and you?
Tou: Yeah...
Yuu: Tougou-san, I don't know you anymore!
Tou: Ah!? Huff, huff, huff... Blergh...
Tou: T-Thank goodness... It was just... just a dream.
Tou: That's how it went.
Fuu: That's one hell of a reaction.
Yuu: Tougou-san, I'm sorry for my dream self.
Tou: Don't worry, Yuuna-chan. I should be apologising.
Yuu: And so, we made up!
Fuu: You weren't having a fight in the first place.
Yuu: Since we talked about them yesterday, I looked up something on dreams...
Yuu: So maybe... Maybe Sono-chan's dream was a prophetic dream?
Son: Eeh!? I don't want to fight with you, Yuuyu!
Yuu: I can't fight you either, Sono-chan!
Kar: Sancho isn't a fairy in the first place, so calm down.
Yuu: When did you become friends with Sancho, Sono-chan?
Son: One morning I found him lying by my pillow.
Kar: ...It's really not a fairy, right? I'm suddenly less confident.
Son: Would be interesting if it was.
Kar: You have Karasutengu already. I don't know what it's thinking, but it moves around a lot.
Son: Karasutengu, or rather, Sebastian is a pretty free spirit.
Kar: Sure is. I wonder who it took that from.
Yuu: All things must pass.
Tou: Yuuna-chan, that was spot on.
Fuu: All things must pass.
Tou: You've gotten a little better at that.
Fuu: I don't accept this.
Son: By the way, Nibosshi, tell us something interesting.
Kar: Could you not make crazy swerves like that?
Tou: Sonocchi can be whimsical.
Fuu: Just like a princess, how lovely. Karin, so how about that something interesting.
Kar: Nothing I say will be interesting with this mood.
Kar: But I'll get through it with my perfect hidden powers!
Fuu: Impressive, she just inspired herself.
Yuu: That's our Karin-chan, the Perfect Braveman!
Kar: This one time, it was just me and Itsuki in the clubroom, and she was sleeping, stretched out on the table. Then, still asleep, she asked me:
Its: yawn Onee-chan, what time is it?
Kar: I wanted to let her sleep a bit longer, so I pretended to be Fuu and said this:
Kar: It's still early enough to sleep, so go back to sleep.
Its: Wake me up, okay... Zzz...
Kar: And then she went back to sleep, but suddenly started screaming this in her sleep:
Its: Hurray, it got bigger! It got bigger! I did it! Inubouzaki Itsuki did it!
Kar: Then she suddenly woke up and started looking around.
Its: Aww, it was just a dream... Zzz...
Kar: And then she went back to sleep again! How's that? Interesting?
Its: Y-You're just exposing me!
Its: But wait, did I actually...
Kar: So you really don't remember that.
Its: I remember my dreams sometimes, but I can't clearly remember all of them.
Fuu: Nogi's a pro at that.
Son: I get that often.
Tou: What exactly got bigger in Itsuki-chan's dream, I wonder?
Its: A-Ahaha... The aspirations hidden inside my chest, or something...
Son: Or maybe it was a dream where your chest itself got bigger?
Its: Rgh... I think it might've been that.
Yuu: That's a prophetic dream. You'll start growing quickly from now on, Itsuki-chan!
Its: But in reality, my waist's the part in danger...
Kar: Fuu, it's because you keep feeding her so much.
Its: She's the kind of person who'll nod in agreement when I say I'm going on a diet, then bring out udon.
Its: But that's fine. If I ever have something to tell her, I can just make food myself.
Fuu: That's my sister. You understand what I'm trying to say.
Son: I wonder what kind of dream I'm going to see tonight...
Yuu: Since yesterday you saw a dream of us fighting, I'll pray for you to see a dream where we get along tonight. Nice dream, nice dream...
Tou: Ah, Yuuna-chan, your kindness is permeating me...
Sonoko's dream - future edition.
Taisha priestess (Aki): Once the perfect Hero is mass-produced, the Vertexes will hardly be a threat...
Aki: Thus I propose to mass-produce Miyoshi Karin.
Aki: And so, our project which began from that has finally been completed. Allow me to present the results.
Aki: Mass-produced Miyoshi Karin.
MP Karin: I can work as long as I have dried sardines!
Aki: Mass-produced Miyoshi Karin - sniper type.
Sniper type: I can shoot right through my target as long as I have dried sardines!
Aki: Mass-produced Miyoshi Karin for cold environments.
Karin Cold Districts: I can work as long as I have warm dried sardines!
Aki: Mass-produced Miyoshi Karin - trainer type.
Karin Trainer: Let's work up a good sweat and eat dried sardines!
Aki: Akechi Mitsuhide Karin.
Akechi Mitsuhide Karin: Nishishi. The enemy waits for us at Honnoji-dines! All troops, advance-dines!
Aki: Metal Karin, who gives a lot of EXP.
Metal Karin: Dried sardines. Eat.
Son: Wah, it's a Nibosshi paradise!
Son: And that's the dream I saw.
Kar: Do you see me as a creature that does nothing but eat dried sardines?
Yuu: A whole lot of Karin-chans must have been a spectacle to see.
Kar: What is metal Karin even supposed to be?
Son: She was moving around really fast.
Kar: And all Mitsuhide Karin did was have a "sardines" verbal tic!
Fuu: What about a space Karin?
Kar: That doesn't exist!
Son: There was one. She was eating space sardines.
Kar: Even in space nothing changes?
Kar: Haah, haah. I'm tired of playing tsukkomi.
Fuu: Mhm, another peaceful day. Yuuna and Tougou, how about you?
Yuu: Tougou-san appeared in my dream, and made some really impressive sweets.
Tou: I'll make that dream come true, Yuuna-chan.
Fuu: All's well, business as usual.
Son: I think I'm going to see a dream tonight too. I wonder what it will be.
Son: ...Huh? Is that...
Gin: Yo, Sonoko!
Son: Ah, Mino-san. Sancho says "Sup" too.
Gin: Sup, Sancho? Rockin' as usual, huh.
Tou: All three of us are together.
Gin: Yeah, the usual three.
Gin: What are we doing in the club today?
Tou: Practicing for the play, no? Yuuna-chan's really excited about it.
Gin: Ahaha, Yuuna did look sleepy in class.
Son: Sleeping in class is bad!
Gin: Sonoko, you don't get to say that.
Son: Tehehe, pardon.
Son: After that, we'll be raising Ittsun.
Gin: Itsuki's growing up quickly, so it's worth raising her.
Gin: Fuu-senpai's going to leave soon, but with Itsuki around the Hero Club should be safe.
Tou: Gin, why don't you run to be the next president?
Gin: No way, I'm not cut out for that.
Gin: Karin's probably going to be the president.
Tou: You weaseled your way out of being our captain in elementary too.
Gin: Right person for the right job, Mimori-kun. I'll compensate for that with work.
Son: ...Huh?
Gin: What's wrong, Sonoko?
Son: (How can Mino-san be at the Sanshuu Middle school? That's weird, I mean...)
Son: (Ah, I see... This is a dream, isn't it...)
Gin: You noticed too soon. Sonoko, you're way too sharp for your own good.
Gin: You're about to wake up. And I can't go with you.
Son: Mino-san...
Gin: No biggie. Somewhere, somewhen, we'll meet again.
Son: ...Yeah.
Gin: See ya.
Tou: See you...
Son: And that's the dream I saw.
Son: It was fun at first, but it was a very sad dream...
Tou: ...I saw it too, Sonocchi.
Son: Huh. Wasshi, you too?!
Tou: Could such a coincidence really happen...
Son: It probably could. A mystery of the Divine Era.
Tou: Somewhere, somewhen, we'll meet again...
Son: Maybe in our next lives.
Tou: That's a long wait. But I'd be happy with that.
Son: Talk about best friends forever!
Tou: ...Yeah.
Tou: Gin, watch over us.
Son: We're getting by, somehow.
A gentle wind blew...
