Lossy's Journal

Hey, Miss Yukari! Long time no see!

Yukari

...

...Miss Yukari?

Yukari

Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about something.

Yukari

About dreams, to be exact.

Dreams?

Yukari

People in Gensokyo associate dreams with the Dream World, but that can't be said for everyone.

Yukari

There are many types of dreams, you see. Some are for the future, and some begin with the thought, "What if..."

Yukari

Not to mention, people often describe moments of happiness and triumph as "dreams come true."

Yukari

And when something truly unbelievable happens, they first assume they're dreaming.

Yukari

For better or worse, it seems to me that extraordinary days often make people feel that way.

To be honest, I feel like I'm in a dream right now.

Yukari

I suppose you would feel that way, wouldn't you?

Yukari

...Right, that's enough small talk. Let's discuss our next interworld festival.

Yukari

Once again, you'll be observing two worlds. One of them is full of theme parks.

Yukari

They say theme parks are wonderful places where dreams come true.

Yukari

Simply visiting one gives you a taste of the extraordinary. They really are incredible, wouldn't you agree?

Yukari

And the other world... You guessed it. It's a world that receives lots of visitors from other worlds.

Yukari

Such visitors can also be described as extraordinary. Their arrival will surely send ripples through that Gensokyo.

Yukari

However, I should mention... these two worlds have something in common.

Yukari

And that something is...

Yukari

A secret! I wouldn't want to spoil all the fun now, would I?

N-No fair!

You were just about to tell me!

Yukari

All I'll say is that finding that something is an integral part of this interworld festival.

Yukari

I hope what lies ahead feels like a dream come true.

Yukari

Goodbye, PLAYER. Sleep tight...

In the L2.4 Universe, at the ever-popular Doremyland...

Doremin

This sucks. But I suppose no dream can last forever.

Doremin

It's closing time!

Doremin

Come back again soon, everyone.

Doremin

Thanks for coming tonight, PLAYER!

Don't mention it. I had a blast!

Doremyland really is the best!

Doremin

You really know how to make a mascot blush!

Doremin

Oh, and before I forget. About your ideas from last night...

What ideas?

The night before...

Doremin

Have you got a moment, PLAYER?

Hi, Miss Doremy―I mean, Doremin!

What's up?

Doremin

Well...

Doremin

I want some new attractions for Doremyland!

Doremin

But I can't think of anything good.

Doremin

Do you have any ideas?

Hmmm...

How about an adorable ice cream shop?

Or a photographer to take pictures of everyone?!

Or some place for kids who get lost? Like I do...

Doremin

Not bad. Not bad at all...

Doremin

Thanks!

Doremin

I'll take her ideas, and combine them with everyone else's feedback about the park...

Doremin

And make Doremyland even better!

Doremin

And just like that, your ideas became a reality!

Already?!

Doremin

You betcha! Don't forget, Doremyland is the theme park of dreams!

Doremin

And that's not all!

Doremin

I found some perfect new staff members!

I know those three!

Doremin

Hehehe.

Doremin

With their help, Doremyland's gonna be more fun than ever!

Miss Aya, Miss Letty, Miss Yuuka!

I didn't expect to see you three together...

Aya

Even in the Dream World, I'm still the fastest reporter. I'm Doremyland's new photographer!

Letty

And I'll be running the ice cream shop!

Letty

I love theme parks, but I also love caring for people. I can't wait to get started.

Yuuka

Hang on a minute. No one's told me where I'll be working yet.

Yuuka

Hey, Doremin, what do you need me to do?

Doremin

I've got a Doremy Mountain's worth of desire to explain just that!

Aya

So you DO wanna explain...?

Doremin

But your outfit will tell you everything you need to know! C'mon, go get changed!

Doremin

Go, go, go!

Aya

Ayaya, quit shoving me. I'll put on the outfit.

Letty

We get our own outfits? How wonderful.

Aya

Dressing the part sure gets you in the right mindset. And you even got me a tripod!

Letty

This outfit makes me feel so cheerful! It'll be hard not to sing and dance while I make ice cream in this!

Yuuka

Uhh, Doremin... Is this really my outfit?

Doremin

Hm? Let me see.

Doremin

Yep, that's the one! You look great.

Yuuka

You think? I dunno...

Doremin

Oh... Don't you like it?

Yuuka

Well, I don't NOT like it.

Yuuka

I-I suppose it's pretty easy to move around in. And there are plenty of handy pockets!

Doremin

I knew you'd come around!

Doremin

Everybody looks perfect! Simply perfect!

Doremin

Now I know I can count on you three!

Yuuka

H-Hold up there, Doremin. What exactly are you counting on me for?

Doremin

You still haven't figured it out?

Doremin

You'll be running the Lost Fairy Center!

Yuuka

...Come again?

Doremin

Think about it. Tons of people visit Doremyland, right?

Doremin

And plenty of young fairies get lost every night, so they started asking for a place to go.

Yuuka

...

Doremin

Is working there no good for you?

Yuuka

Surely I'm better suited for something else.

Aya

C'mon, Miss Yuuka. Try being a team player for once.

Yuuka

Yeah, but...

Letty

Running the Lost Fairy Center is a wonderful job!

Yuuka

I suppose you're right. And this outfit is pretty great...

Yuuka

Not that it suits me.

Aya

Whaddya mean?! It suits you perfectly!

Yuuka

I'm still not sure about this...

Letty

It'd be so kind of you to play with all the fairies!

Yuuka

I don't mind that. It's just...

Doremin

I made that outfit especially for you. I'm begging you, please run the Lost Fairy Center!

Yuuka

I'm grateful for the outfit...

Yuuka

But I'm not the right person for the job―

Doremin

Yes, you are! You're the ONLY person for the job!

Aya

You look great in that outfit! Honestly!

Yuuka

I do?

Letty

If I got lost, I'd definitely come to you for help!

Yuuka

You would?!

Yuuka

Fine, I'll do it! Just stop complimenting me already!

Doremin

It's official, then. You'll be running the Lost Fairy Center!

Yuuka

I still don't think I'll be any good at it...

Aya

Sure you will! Everything seems hard at first, but with a bit of practice, you'll get the hang of it!

Letty

I just know you're going to help all the lost fairies!

Letty

But Miss Aya's right. Some practice wouldn't hurt.

Sunny Milk

Huh. There are still some people here. Hey, you guys! It's cleaning time. You'll have to come back tomorrow night.

Luna Child

Hold up, Sunny. They're wearing staff uniforms. Maybe they're new here.

Star Sapphire

Oh, yeah. Doremin said something about new staff members!

Aya

Why, if it isn't Doremyland's fairy guides. Long time no see.

Sunny Milk

Wow, I never thought you'd be working here, Miss Aya!

Luna Child

Not to mention Miss Letty and Miss Yuuka!

Letty

Good evening. I look forward to working with you.

Yuuka

Me too.

Aya

Wait, this is perfect.

Aya

Miss Yuuka's gonna be running the Lost Fairy Center. Will you three play with her for a bit?

Sunny Milk

Sure thing! What are we playing?!

Luna Child

I want to read a picture book.

Star Sapphire

Will there be playtime snacks?

Yuuka

O-One at a time, guys! Wh-What do I do?

Yuuka

PLAYER, got any ideas?

M-Me?!

H-How about we all go on a treasure hunt?

Aya

Hehe, I've never seen Miss Yuuka sweat like this. I better take a photo.

Sunny Milk

Peeeeace!

Luna Child

Quit making that peace sign, Sunny. What are you doing taking our picture, anyway, Miss Aya?!

Sunny Milk

Oops. I just couldn't help myself...

Star Sapphire

Shouldn't you be taking photos of the guests?

Aya

Maybe.

Aya

But it couldn't hurt to have a photo of the staff having fun, right?

Yuuka

I-I wouldn't say I'm having fun yet...

Letty

Aya's right. The best way to ensure our guests have fun is to have fun with them!

Letty

I'll bring you all some ice cream during my breaks.

Letty

I want everyone to have fun and make memories together.

Three Fairies of Light

Yippee!

Luna Child

Hang on, we've been working here way longer than them. We can't let ourselves get carried away.

Luna Child

We gotta get 'em to look up to us.

Sunny Milk

All right, let's show these newbies the ropes!

Luna Child

I like the sound of that!

Star Sapphire

We'll teach 'em how to take care of Doremyland's guests!

Sunny Milk

*pant* *pant* D-Did you get all that?!

Aya

We sure did.

Luna Child

For real? Wow, you're quick learners...

Letty

It's all thanks to our adorable teachers. You made everything so simple for us.

Star Sapphire

I-If you say so!

Sunny Milk

Hehe! I bet you're starting to look up to us now!

Yuuka

...

Doremin

You did great back there, Yuuka!

Yuuka

I-I know...!

Yuuka

But thanks. That was my first time doing anything like this. I was pretty nervous...

Doremin

Well, you shouldn't have been! You're a natural!

Doremin

I'd say you're ready for the real thing!

Yuuka

A-Already?! But I still need more practice!

Meanwhile, in the L^4 Universe, in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost...

Tewi

Tch. Where's PLAYER? She's late.

Hey!

Did I make it in time?

Tewi

It's not every day I go out of my way to guide someone through the bamboo forest, you know?

Sorry...

Tewi

I guess it's fine. C'mon, let's not waste any more time...

Tewi

I'll take you to Eientei.

Tewi

I can't believe you forgot about your check-up.

Tewi

Did something urgent come up? I guess I couldn't blame you if it did.

No, it was nothing like that...

Tewi

Don't wanna tell me what's going on, huh?

(I want to...)

(But how can I tell her I forgot we agreed to meet up?)

Tewi

It's all right. Don't tell me if you don't want to. By the way...

Tewi

What's the deal with that toxic-looking popcorn?

You haven't tried it yet?!

It's yummy. People are going crazy for it in the village.

Choice Selected: "You haven't tried it yet?!"

Tewi

No, and I don't think I will. It kinda freaks me out.

Continue onto main branch.

Choice Selected: "It's yummy. People are going crazy for it in the village."

Tewi

Boy, I sure don't get you humans.

Main Branch

Tewi

OK, we're here. We'll have to chat again later.

Tewi

Hey, Reeeeisen! PLAYER's here.

Maybe she's out.

Tewi

No, I told her not to go anywhere just before I went to find you.

Tewi

Reeeeisen! Shout if you're not here! ...Huh?!

Reisen

Master, snap out of it! Let go of me!

Tewi

Sounds like something crazy's going down...

More like something terrible!

Tewi

You're right. We better go check it out.

Tewi

What the...?

Reisen

Master, please! Get off of me. How are you this strong?!

Eirin

No! I won't let you go!

Reisen

Why?!

Eirin

Because...

Eirin

I don't wanna work anymore!

Is she... having a tantrum?

Tewi

I'm not sure it's quite so simple.

Tewi

If it was just a tantrum, she'd have snapped out of it when she saw you were here.

Tewi

Usually, she's a master of self-control. The only explanation is that―

Miss Eirin's gone crazy?!

Tewi

Reisen! What did you do to Master?!

Reisen

N-Nothing!

Reisen

I figured PLAYER would be here soon, so I came to check on her, but she was acting funny!

Tewi

This can only mean―

???

Pahaha! Would you look at that!

???

Even the Eientei doctor is no match for me! I can't believe how easy this was!

I-I know that voice!

It's Clownpiece!

???

Aren't you a clever one! You deserve a head pat or two.

Tewi

...

???

...What's with the downer vibes?

Tewi

Do you know this big weirdo?

I thought I did...

But now I'm not so sure.

???

Say what?!

Tewi

Who the heck is she?!

Well, she's definitely not Clownpiece.

Clownpiece

Yes, I am!

Clownpiece

You were right the first time! Are you tryna be funny?

You look different from normal...

More grown up.

Clownpiece

More grown up...

Clownpiece

Now that you mention it, I think you might be right!

You hadn't realized?!

Clownpiece

It doesn't matter how big I am, I'm still me.

Clownpiece

Besides, no one else said anything about me looking different!

Even Miss Hecatia and Miss Junko?

Tewi

Hey, PLAYER, I got some bad news.

Tewi

I think she might have come here from another world...

Clownpiece

Whoa, you're pretty smart for someone so small!

What's going on?

Tewi

Basically, as far as this Clownpiece is concerned, that's how she's supposed to look.

Tewi

Although, I suppose fairies aren't that aware of themselves at the best of times.

Clownpiece

Hahaha! Somehow I ended up in this world. So, for a bit of fun, I―

Played a prank.

Clownpiece

Hmm, kinda.

Tewi

What do you mean, "kinda"? What else were you trying to do?

Clownpiece

As a matter of fact―

Reisen

Excuse me! Sorry to interrupt...

Reisen

But can you put Master back to normal?!

Reisen

I'm not sure how much more of this I can take! I never knew she was this strong!

Eirin

Hey, Reisen. I have it pretty rough, don't I? Shouldn't you feel a little more sorry for me?

Tewi

Reisen's right. Hey, clown fairy, snap her out of this, would ya?!

Clownpiece

But this is so much fun. What's the hurry?

Clownpiece

She's always so... proper. Don't you think it's funny seeing her like this?

Reisen

I suppose a little longer couldn't hurt...

Tewi

Don't listen to her, Reisen!

Tewi

Looks like there's only one thing for it. PLAYER, gimme a hand here!

You got it!

Clownpiece

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Clownpiece

Fine by me. This is gonna be fun!

Tewi

You're pretty tough for a fairy!

Clownpiece

Hehe, I'm no ordinary fairy. I'm a HELL fairy.

Clownpiece

But you guys are pretty tough, too. I haven't had that much fun in ages.

Clownpiece

I'd love to go another round, but I want to practice some more.

Practice what?

Clownpiece

See ya! When I'm done, I'll come play with you again!

Tewi

Hey, hold up!

Reisen

Tewi, I need a hand over here...

Eirin

I work my butt off every day. Surely it wouldn't hurt Kaguya to show a little more appreciation!

Tewi

Looks like you can't keep Master under control alone, huh?

Tewi

Sorry, PLAYER. We need to look after Master. Will you go chase after that fairy?!

O-OK!

Tewi

So, uhh, what do we do?

Eirin

I always give it 110%! But it's like everyone just expects perfection from me!

Tewi

There, there. We know it isn't easy. But you do such a great job. *pats head*

Tewi

How about you let go of Reisen? ...Yikes, she IS strong!

What on earth did Clownpiece do to her?!

Reisen

Masteeeer! You gotta snap out of it!

Shion

Another day, another pilgrimage spent listening to my own tummy rumble. Everyone I pass smiles at me vacantly.

Shion

Some of them give me handouts, I suppose.

Shion

But I don't think I'm desperate enough to eat this yet.

Shion

Everyone else seems to be enjoying it, though. I guess I could give it a try...

???

Shion, is that you?!

Shion

Eep! Wait, I know that voice...

Joon

What's up? Did I scare ya?

Shion

Wh-What do you think? Hang on... Why are you wearing a swimsuit?

Joon

What do you mean? Why AREN'T you wearing one?

Shion

...So you're from a parallel world, huh?

Joon

Hmm, I guess so.

Joon

I got transported here all of a sudden. To be honest, I'm having trouble processing all this!

Shion

Well, with a reaction like that, you're clearly not my Joon.

Joon

There's no point worrying. You gotta accept whatever life throws at you.

Joon

I didn't think interworld travel could happen so randomly, though...

Shion

What's the matter?

Joon

Nothing. It's just...

Joon

What if I'm not the only one who got sent here?

Joon

Oh well! The more of us there are, the more fun we can have!

Shion

R-Really? You seem pretty used to this level of craziness, huh?

Joon

I wouldn't say I'm used to it. It's more like I'm happy knowing there's nothing I can do about it.

Shion

What now?!

???

Finally! I've become the fastest youkai!

Shion

Someone's freezing the waterway and sliding their way toward us!

Joon

Is that... a fairy? What's she doing in the village―AHHH!

???

Who are you calling a fairy?! I mean, you're not wrong, but still!

Cirno

I'm Cirno, the fearless ice youkai!

Joon

Ice―

Shion

Youkai?

Joon

So you got transported to this world just like me, huh?

Cirno

...Yeah!

Cirno

I was taking a walk when I saw a flash of light. Next thing I knew, I was here.

Cirno

There was a big river right in front of me, so I just had to freeze it!

Cirno

I didn't think it'd connect to a waterway, though!

Cirno

This is the Human Village, right? ...You get told off for coming here, don't you?

Shion

Fairies really are simple creatures.

Cirno

Hey! Quit calling me a fairy!

Joon

This conversation's going nowhere. Let's just agree to call her a youkai, all right, Shion? Plus...

Joon

Cirno's dramatic entrance seems to have attracted some attention. We better get out of here.

Shion

Wait a sec. Look over there. There's a huge crowd.

Joon

Where?

???

Open your eyes, everyone. This world is not as it seems.

???

Can any of you tell me when the popcorn you're all eating first appeared in the village?

???

...No one? That's right!

Satori

There's only one explanation―

Joon

Seems like she's in the same boat as us...

???

There are a few unexpected guests. Unexpected, but not unwelcome.

???

The reason is simple...

???

I love surprises!

Clownpiece

Bye bye! Let's hang out again sometime!

Waaaait!

Clownpiece

That word means nothing to us fairies!

I lost her...

Everyone

PLAYER!

Huh?!

You all look so different from normal!

Shion

Yep.

Joon

We came here from parallel worlds!

Cirno

I'm the strongest!

Satori

I have to make everyone see the truth!

O-One at a time!

What now?!

Villager

Miss Keine's gone crazy!

Keine

Hey, Mokou... is it my fault no one does their homework?

Mokou

I-I don't think so. I'd say you're a pretty great teacher.

Mokou

Kids are busy. Maybe they just can't find the time.

Mokou

It's not that they don't like you or anything.

Keine

A-Are you sure?

Mokou

I'm sure. So you can go ahead and stop hugging me now.

Keine

...No.

Mokou

Whaddya mean, no?! What's gotten into you? You're supposed to be a teacher!

Keine

I'm not teaching anyone right now, though...

Mokou

Ha... Hahaha... I think I'm in trouble here!

Clownpiece

This didn't turn out how I expected, but I guess it's still fine!

Clownpiece!

Clownpiece

Hey, PLAYER! I didn't think you'd catch up to me so quick.

Clownpiece

But my work here is already done... Bye again!

I have to go after her...

But I have to help Miss Keine and Miss Mokou first!

Joon

Is that what going crazy looks like?

Shion

Pretty sure you don't have to worry about things here.

Hmm...

I dunno...

Satori

From what I can tell, the feelings Keine was holding inside have been forced out into the open.

Satori

She doesn't seem too happy about it, though. Perhaps we should put a stop to this.

Cirno

Hmm, I don't really get it...

Cirno

But if we gotta stop Keine at all costs, then I'm the ice youkai for the job!

Joon

Give us a hand, Mokou!

Mokou

Umm...

Satori

You're free to think that, but I wouldn't say it out loud if I were you.

Keine

Mokou... Why are you being so mean to me?

Mokou

I'll be nice to you... AFTER you snap out of this!

Mokou

Thank you, everyone. Keine wasn't herself.

Mokou

(It was kinda nice seeing her like that, though...)

Joon

How did she end up like that in the first place?

Let's share everything we know.

So, you're all from parallel worlds...

Joon

Trust me, we were just as surprised as you at first.

Joon

I'm betting that fairy isn't from this world, either.

So what do we do?

Satori

We need to stop the fairy.

Satori

If we don't, more people will lose control of themselves. And if that happens, Gensokyo will spiral into chaos...

Satori

We can't let that happen.

Satori

(Perhaps this is why I was brought to this world.)

Joon

Sounds like a plan to me. I'm sure we're all here for a reason.

Joon

And I'll bet a certain priest would say it's our duty to help those in need.

Shion

So you two get along in your world, too, huh?

Cirno

Stopping a Hell fairy? Sounds like a blast!

You guys... Thanks!

Joon

All right, let's go―

Shion

Not so fast. We gotta deal with the situation here first, Joon.

Joon

What situation? ...Wait, what's happening?!

Villager A

I'm doing my best, but my husband doesn't seem to notice!

Villager B

There's no point studying math! It's not like I'm ever gonna use it in the real world!

Villager C

I don't wanna work! I just wanna plaaaay!

Shion

Looks like that fairy left us a few surprises as she made her escape.

Satori

Whatever the case, we have to help these people.

(This is gonna be a long day!)

In the L2.4 Universe, the following night at Doremyland...

Aya

Step right up, folks! Doremyland's brand-new photo studio is right here!

Cirno

Oh hey, Aya! Whatcha doing?

Aya

Taking photos of guests so they can remember all the fun they had at the park.

Daiyousei

That sounds lovely. Come on, Cirno, let's get our picture taken!

Aya

All right, just stand over there.

Cirno

OK, what now?

Aya

You're gonna cast a wonderful spell that brings smiles to the faces of everyone at Doremyland while I take your picture.

Daiyousei

We're going to cast a spell?

Aya

That's right. But don't worry, it's simple.

Aya

Are you ready? Repeat after me.

Aya

"Dreaming with Doremy!"

Aya

OK, now I just gotta put this photo in one of our special Doremyland frames, and it's all yours.

Cirno

Wow! I'm gonna hang this up in my secret hideout!

Daiyousei

I'm so glad we did this, Cirno!

Aya

Come back again another night.

That was amazing, Miss Aya!

You're a pro already!

Aya

Hey there, Miss PLAYER. Whaddya say? Do you want a picture, too?

O-Oh, uhh... Yes, please.

"Dreaming with Doremy!"

Aya

Hehehe, that awkward smile of yours is so adorable.

Remilia

Look, Sakuya, we can get our photo taken here.

Sakuya

How lovely. Just the other day, I was thinking the kitchen walls were a bit bare.

Remilia

I'd rather hang it somewhere I can see it, too.

Sakuya

I suppose you're right.

Aya

OK, guys. Say, "Dreaming with Doremy!"

Sakuya

Thank you so much. We'll keep this forever.

Remilia

C'mon, let's head to the next attraction already.

Kanako

Why, if it isn't Aya Shameimaru. I didn't know you worked here.

Aya

I sure do. I was actually kinda hand-picked.

Kanako

Wow, very impressive.

Kanako

Seeing as you're such a remarkable tengu, I have something to ask you. What's the secret to Doremyland's success?

Aya

You're right about me being remarkable. I'm remarkably good at keeping trade secrets.

Sanae

Excuse me!

Sanae

Where's Doremin? Why isn't she here?!

Aya

Why would she be?

Sanae

If we're gonna take a photo to remember our trip to Doremyland, she's gotta be in it!

Suwako

Sorry. It seems like our Sanae here is Doremin's number-one fan.

Kanako

Sanae, Doremin is Doremyland's mascot. She's got a lot on her plate.

Suwako

I know you want to meet her, but she's extremely busy. Bumping into her must be quite rare.

Doremin

Very rare.

Sanae

You're right. I guess I should just give up―

Sanae

Doremin!

Doremin

That's me! My job is to make your dreams come true!

Sanae

*fan-girl squealing*

Kanako

Hehe. I'm not sure I've ever seen Sanae this happy.

Suwako

Miss Photographer, a picture of the four of us, please.

Everyone

"Dreaming with Doremy!"

Doremy

OK, it's time for me to go and make some other guests' dreams come true! Bye for now!

Sanae

*sob* This was the best night ever. I can go home happy now...

Suwako

But what about eating at the food court? And riding the Doremy Coaster?

Sanae

Oh... Well, we gotta do that stuff first!

Kanako

Right then, Aya. Give this to Doremin―I mean, to Lady Doremy, please.

Kanako

It's an invitation to the Moriya Shrine theme park. You and your friends are welcome to come, too.

Aya

Fine, fine. I'll let her... and everyone else know.

Aya

Phew, I've taken a bunch of photos already. Good work, me!

Aya

I wonder how Miss Letty and Miss Yuuka are getting on...

Eternity Larva

This ice cream is delicious!

Clownpiece

I love seeing it being made, too! Make some more, make some more!

Letty

OK, OK. You can watch as long as you like, but if you want another scoop, you'll have to get back in line.

Eternity Larva

Got it!

I'm next!

One ice cream, please!

Letty

Oh, hello there. One serving of my finest ice cream, coming up.

Letty

Here I am, making ice creeeam. Come and enjoy the taste of dreeeams!

Eternity Larva

Wow! She's making ice cream AND singing!

Letty

There you go. One serving of my ultra-creamy ice cream!

That was so fast!

Thanks, Miss Letty!

It's... super yummy!

Toyohime

Wow, that ice cream looks good! We should get some, Yorihime.

Yorihime

Hmm... all right. Let's join the line.

Eternity Larva

Piece, we gotta line up again, too!

Clownpiece

Oh, no. I was having so much fun watching that I forgot all about lining up! Let's hurry, Larva!

Kaguya

Was that who I think it was...?

Mokou

Maybe. I dunno. Look, if the line moves forward a little more, we'll be able to see the menu up on the wall.

Kaguya

Yay! I wonder what I should get...

Letty

(I'm glad people like my ice cream, but this is getting out of hand!)

Kaguya

I'll have a Tropical Cake Serenade. What about you, Mokou?

Mokou

I'll take... an Eternal Fluffy Shower.

Toyohime

We finally made it to the front of the line. I'll take one of everything, please!

Yorihime

...Just a Fresh Pink Ocean and a Femto Sweet Candy for me, please.

Clownpiece

Ummm... One Nightmare Hell Special, please!

Eternity Larva

I didn't know they had that on the menu... I'll take a Golden Sunny Day, please!

Letty

I know we just opened, but so many people are coming to buy ice cream!

Letty

Looks like the crowd's finally died down a bit.

Wh-What's the matter, Doremin?

Why are you looking at Miss Letty like that?

Doremin

The ice cream shop is a huge hit, and it's all thanks to you, Letty.

Letty

Y-You're welcome...

Doremin

I actually created a new snack for everyone at Doremyland. It's called Dream Popcorn...

Doremin

But no one's interested in trying it!

Letty

It's certainly an interesting color...

It looks yummy to me!

Do you mind if I have some?

Doremin

You're the first person to ask me that, PLAYER!

Doremin

I thought people would love my Dream Popcorn. Some things just don't go to plan, huh?!

Yuuka

C'mon, my lost little fairies. Let's wait together till someone comes to collect you.

Lost Fairy

...

Round-Eyed Fairy

...

Fairies

Waaaaah!

Yuuka

I-I knew this would happen!

Meanwhile, in the L^4 Universe, in the Human Village...

Shion

Say, PLAYER...

Shion

What exactly is going on here?

I dunno... Isn't it just what it looks like?

Shion

That's what I'm having trouble with.

Shion

Two youkai and a god doing their best to help humans... Not to mention that the god's my sister.

Shion

Tell you the truth, this seems more like an incident than a few villagers saying how they really feel.

(She has a point...)

Joon

C'mon, tell me what's wrong.

Villager D

My job sucks. I wanna quit so bad.

Joon

So go ahead and quit.

Villager D

I-I can't. I have a family to take care of...

Joon

There's your answer, then.

Joon

Family comes first. And that means you need a job.

Villager D

Yeah, but...

Joon

Getting things off your chest is important. Especially if it helps you relax.

Joon

But you shouldn't quit something just 'cause it's hard.

Joon

The words you speak eventually become truth. Even if you don't think so, the people around you feel their influence.

Joon

...I know how you feel, though. I often think about running away from difficult situations.

Joon

But I'm tough, so you won't catch me whining about it.

Joon

I suppose you're only human, though. If things get too much for you again, how about you come see me―

Joon

Actually, that sounds like a pain in the butt for me. How about you visit Myouren Temple?

Villager D

Th-Thank you, Lady Joon!

Villager E

Umm... Lady Satori?

Satori

It's OK. I already know what you want to say.

Satori

You're plagued with worries too gruesome to share. All you want is some compassion.

Villager E

You... You understand me so well!

Satori

There's no need to speak. I'll sit here with you in perfect silence.

Satori

Time doesn't solve any problems, but it does heal all wounds.

Satori

So, please, rest here a while.

Villager E

Thank you...

Satori

I've done it again. Another genius solution.

Villager F

...And that's what's been on my mind.

Cirno

Understood!

Villager F

Really?!

Cirno

Nope! I didn't understand a thing!

Villager F

B-But I explained everything in so much detail...

Cirno

Yep, and I didn't get any of it! But there's one thing I realized while you were rambling on...

Cirno

None of this is your fault!

Cirno

You really did your best to help me understand your situation, right?

Cirno

That took a lot of time and patience. So when you said you don't think any of this is your fault...

Cirno

I totally believed you!

Cirno

In other words, I think you're right! Right, I tell ya!

Cirno

So you better start believing it!

Things seem a little calmer now... I think.

Shion

I never would've guessed those three would be so good at consoling people.

Shion

Now we can finally go after that Hell fairy.

???

PLAYER! Heeeelp!

Shion

You've gotta be kidding me!

Mai

It's Master!

Satono

She's acting like a baby!

Joon

This is just our luck! How come someone as powerful as Okina's been affected?!

Satono

Don't ask us! We only left her with that fairy for a second...

Mai

Next thing we knew, she'd burst into tears!

Let's go and see for ourselves!

Okina

Mai! Satono! Where'd you goooo?! Don't leave meeee!

Okina

I NEED YOUUUUU!

Mai

Look, I'm back! You can stop crying now!

Satono

I'm here, too. We weren't gone for long. There's no need to cry.

Okina

Th-Thank goodness! I thought you'd left me forever!

Mai

Don't say that. We'd never leave you.

Okina

But you left me just now.

Mai

I guess that's true...

Okina

See. Deep down, you wanna leave.

Okina

And one day, you will. I'm destined to die alone...

Okina

Alone, I tell you!

Satono

C-Calm down, Master! Deep breaths!

Satono

One of the back doors is open!

Shion

I've seen something like this before...!

Cirno

I kinda wish I could unsee this...

Satori

It's too late for that now. I don't know if we're strong enough, but we have to help calm her down!

Okina

*sniff* *sniff*

Satono

She's finally calming down... I can't believe that fairy!

???

It's over already?! The fun was just getting started!

Clownpiece...!

Clownpiece

PLAYER! You finally made it!

Clownpiece

You took ages, so I went around chatting to a bunch more people!

You mean besides Miss Okina?

Clownpiece

Everyone seemed happy to talk to me. People here sure have a lot of troubles.

Clownpiece

...What about you, PLAYER?! Have you got any troubles?

Clownpiece

If you do, I'd be happy to lend you an ear!

(...DO I have any troubles?)

So you'll listen to me talk, but then what?

Clownpiece

Simple. I'll―

Joon

Hold up! Whatever you're trying on PLAYER won't work!

Satori

That's right. No doubt your ability helps some people, but this isn't the time to use it.

Cirno

...Y-Yeah! What they said!

Shion

You don't know what's going on, do you?

Shion

Whatever... You're not getting to PLAYER, Clownpiece.

Shion

She hasn't got time for the likes of you.

Shion

Find someone else to toy with.

Clownpiece

Hmph. Keeping PLAYER all to yourselves, huh?

Clownpiece

In that case, there's no need for me to hold back!

Clownpiece

This little game of tag is over! *sticks tongue out*

Clownpiece

You better not spoil my fun again!

Joon

Wait! ...Boy, she sure is quick.

Joon

C'mon, PLAYER, let's go after her! ...PLAYER?

Oh, uhh... yeah!

(From what Clownpiece just said...)

(I'm starting to think she isn't just doing this for fun.)

Clownpiece

Tch. I was just trying to be nice asking PLAYER if she had any troubles...

Clownpiece

What's the big deal?

Clownpiece

Fairies don't usually go out of their way to help people.

Clownpiece

Oh well. I'll worry about PLAYER later. I should just focus on my plan for now.

Clownpiece

...Actually, I better practice some more first.

Clownpiece

I could do with some practice targets, though...

???

Then why don't you head to Hell?

Clownpiece

Who said that?!

???

Sorry for scaring you like that.

Clownpiece

Hrmm, even if I squint real hard, I can barely make you out. ...Are you an invisible youkai or something?

???

Don't worry about me. At this moment, you're what matters most.

???

Long story short... I want to help you.

Clownpiece

Help me? Does that mean you know about my plan?

???

I don't know all the details, but I can see what you're up to.

???

It wasn't hard to figure out. All I had to do was take note of who you've been pranking.

Clownpiece

Huh. I bet you think you're pretty smart...

Clownpiece

But you're ruining my fun.

???

Come now, don't be angry. Like I said, I want to help you.

???

If you need a practice target, I can find you one. If your plan needs adjusting, I can give you ideas.

???

To be honest... I'm looking for a way to thank you for all of your hard work.

Clownpiece

I'm not doing any of this for you, though.

Clownpiece

I just randomly came to this world and thought up a plan―

???

What if I told you it wasn't chance that brought you here?

???

If there was a reason for you being here, what would you do then?

Clownpiece

Are you saying YOU brought me here?

???

Not exactly. Although... I did wish for someone LIKE you to appear.

Clownpiece

I fail to see how that's any better.

Clownpiece

Only Master and Lady Junko can control me. No one else.

Clownpiece

I'm a fairy. An embodiment of freedom. I do what I want, when I want.

Clownpiece

If you're tryna attack my freedom, I reckon I'm allowed to fire back.

???

Hahaha, what a fascinating response! But this battle will have to wait.

???

I didn't mean to offend you. Here, take this as an apology.

Clownpiece

Eww, all those colors are gross. I don't want it.

???

O-Oh, OK...

Clownpiece

(Huh? Did I hurt her feelings?)

???

...Well then, let me give you some advice instead.

???

Be confident knowing you're doing the right thing.

???

And if you need practice, Hell is the place to do it.

???

You'll find plenty of suitable targets there. Don't worry, I'm not trying to trick you or anything...

???

Do as you please. That's all I ask.

???

And with that, I bid you farewell. Sweet dreams.

Clownpiece

...She vanished.

Clownpiece

Tch. She just said what she wanted to and left, huh? I don't like her attitude.

Clownpiece

But she's right. Hell's probably worth visiting.

Clownpiece

The folks there have probably got it tougher than the humans in the village. They're perfect to practice on.

Clownpiece

...OK! Nothing good ever came from thinking too hard. I should just get going!

Clownpiece

It'll be fine. Things went pretty well in the village.

Clownpiece

Actually, they went really well...

Clownpiece

Hehe, I can't stop smiling about it.

Clownpiece

My first target was...

In the L2.4 Universe, at Doremyland...

Yuuka

Hmmm...

Yuuka

Where are the fairies? Where are the fairies?

Yuuka

...There they are!

Fairies

Waaaaah!

Yuuka

N-Nothing I do works. Running the Lost Fairy Center is too much!

Sunny Milk

I found another lost fairy for you. Take care of her!

Yuuka

Another one?!

Luna Child

I found one, too. I think she's tired from all the fun she was having. Make sure she takes a nap.

Lily White

So sleepy...

Yuuka

Fine. Come and lie down over here.

Star Sapphire

OK, everyone. Our next attraction is the Lost Fairy Center!

Yuuka

This isn't an attraction.

Sunny Milk

It seems like things are pretty out of control.

Luna Child

This little fairy's crying her eyes out. There, there.

Yuuka

It's a warzone in here...

Star Sapphire

There are some things even you can't handle, huh?

Yuuka

You're not helping.

Yuuka

I want all the lost fairies to feel safe and relax...

Yuuka

And if possible, leave with a smile.

Star Sapphire

Makes sense. (Maybe they're scared of powerful youkai like Miss Yuuka...)

Sunny Milk

How about you try playing with them? I'm sure it won't take much to make them all smile.

Yuuka

Well, it hasn't worked so far...

Yuuka

Look, a slide. Let's go down it together!

Rebellious Fairy

No! I wanna ride a roller coaster!

Yuuka

W-We have some crayons, too. How about we all draw some nice pictures?

Cheeky Fairy

There's no way I can express the full extent of my imagination with those measly crayons!

Yuuka

I'm all out of ideas!

Sunny Milk

Wow... Even as a fairy myself, that sounds pretty rough.

Yuuka

Hm? Is that... Doremin?

Doremin

You're in big trouble! You can't freeze the merry-go-round like that!

Cirno

Why not?! It looks way cooler that way!

Doremin

What about the people who want to ride it?!

Cirno

G-Good point!

Doremin

Yuuka!

Yuuka

Yes?

Doremin

Keep an eye on―I mean, take care of this fairy for a while, would you?!

Yuuka

But I'm busy enough as it is!

Doremin

Just put her down for a nappy-nap!

Yuuka

A nappy-nap? ...I'll do my best.

Daiyousei

Sorry about Cirno. We'll be over in the corner...

Daiyousei

Cheer up, Cirno. Wanna have a pillow fight?

Cirno

No. I just wanna sit quietly.

Daiyousei

Hahaha...

Daiyousei

(Cirno loves Doremyland. I'm sure she's sad she caused trouble here.)

Daiyousei

(I wonder if there's anything around here to cheer her up.)

Daiyousei

Look, Cirno. There's a block of ice in the corner.

Daiyousei

It's huge. But it's not cold at all. How strange.

Cirno

Wh-What is that thing?!

Remilia

This is the place Sakuya said to meet her.

Remilia

Wait... This is the Lost Fairy Center!

Yuuka

Oh, uhh... hello.

Yuuka

Would you like to take a nappy-nap?

Remilia

No, I would not!

Aya

How's everything going here, Miss Yuuka?

Letty

There are plenty of fairies, that's for sure!

It's like being at the school!

Who wants to play?!

Yuuka

Boy, am I glad to see you guys.

Small Fairy

I wanna play, I wanna play!

Selfish Fairy

No! She's gotta play with me first!

Yuuka

Like, really glad...

Aya

I think I see what's going on here!

Letty

Looks like you've had your hands full.

Aya

Don't worry, we'll help you out.

Letty

Uh-huh! That's why we're here, after all!

Letty

I wonder if these little fairies like ice cream. If so, I have good news for them.

OK, everyone, let's play!

Small Fairy

Are you a camera lady?

Fairies

Wow!

Aya

Hey, watch the tripod.

Small Fairy

Gimme that Doremin keychain!

Aya

Sorry, no can do.

Small Fairy

How about this blue lady keychain then?

Aya

Not a chance.

Small Fairy

But I want it!

Aya

No means no!

Letty

It's ice cream time!

Fairy Connoisseur

Are you sure that's ice cream? It needs to contain a certain percentage of milk fat to be called that, you know?

Know-It-All Fairy

You really think going all in on ice cream is the best option? Perhaps you should add something savory to your menu.

Letty

Oh no, maybe you're right!

Yuuka

You're unusually well-behaved.

Cirno

I love Doremyland, so I'm doing my best not to cause any more trouble.

Yuuka

That's very mature of you.

Cirno

Besides... Hehehe.

Yuuka

Why are you smirking at me like that?

Cirno

I've been having a blast watching all the little fairies run circles around you!

Yuuka

Watch it.

Cirno

Hehehe.

Yuuka

...Haha.

Aya

Miss Yuuka! Things are getting out of control over here!

Letty

And over here!

Yuuka

Luckily, I was able to take a breather. I'm ready to play with all the little ones at once!

Yuuka

Here I come!

Remilia

How many times have I gotta tell you I'm not a lost fairy?! Hurry up and get Sakuya here!

Yuuka

Fine, fine.

*announcement chime*

Yuuka

"Miss Sakuya Izayoi of the Scarlet Devil Mansion..."

Yuuka

"Remilia Scarlet is waiting for you at the Lost Fairy Center. Please come and collect her immediately."

Remilia

What do you mean "collect her"?! For the last time, I'm NOT A LOST FAIRY!

Sakuya

Thank you for looking after my mistress. We'll be on our way.

Aya

Phew... Surely the fairies are out of energy now.

Yuuka

I certainly hope so...

Fairies

Yay! That was fun! Let's play some more!

Letty, Yuuka & Aya

Do they EVER get tired?!

Letty

If only there was something we could use to keep them busy...

Aya

Yeah, but they aren't the least bit interested in toys.

Yuuka

Are you... eating something?

I-I got a little hungry from all the playing!

Doremin gave me this earlier.

Yuuka

Huh...

Fairies

Wh-What is that stuff?!

A few hours earlier, in the L^4 Universe, in the Human Village...

Okina

What on earth happened to me...?

Okina

Satono! Mai! ...Where did they run off to?

Okina

I hope they haven't gotten lost. They're so darn adorable.

Okina

Hehe, I can't keep worrying about them like this forever, though.

Okina

So long as we're together, I have to respect their wishes. It's just...

Okina

...

???

Howdy! You look kinda glum. What's on your mind?

Okina

...You're that Hell fairy. Looks like you're not from this world, though, huh?

Clownpiece

Whoa, you're pretty sharp.

Okina

Hardly. It's pretty obvious.

Okina

So go on, what kind of prank are you playing today?

Clownpiece

Hahaha... Me? Playing pranks?

Clownpiece

I'm just tryna do what I think is right.

Okina

Don't worry, I'm not angry. Fairies are allowed to do as they please.

Okina

In fact, how about I help you?

Okina

I'm feeling a little emotional today. I'm in the mood to take care of someone cute like you.

Clownpiece

For real?! Sweet! All right, tell me what's on your mind.

Okina

What? You want to listen to my problems?

Clownpiece

Pretty much, yeah. That's what's gonna help me the most.

Clownpiece

I-I won't bore you with the details, though!

Okina

(I'm guessing she just can't be bothered to explain it.)

Clownpiece

So anyway, you were talking to yourself before I got here, right? It sounded like you were worried about something.

Okina

You heard that?! I don't believe this―

Clownpiece

H-Hold up! It's not like I was eavesdropping on purpose!

Clownpiece

But when I saw how sad you looked, I couldn't help but worry...

Clownpiece

I'm telling the truth. Honest. In that moment, I forgot all about my plan. I just wanted to cheer you up.

Clownpiece

When you see someone at their weakest, it's natural to wanna take care of them, right?

Clownpiece

So c'mon, why don't you tell me what's been bothering you?

Okina

Hmph. It's not something I'd discuss with a fairy.

Clownpiece

Don't say that. Some things you can ONLY discuss with a fairy.

Clownpiece

Think about it. If a fairy like me went around saying you're actually a big crybaby, no one would take me seriously.

Okina

I guess you're right...

Clownpiece

You bet I am. Now, unzip those lips.

Clownpiece

Your secrets are safe with me.

Okina

And, and... I always try to watch out for those two, but most of the time, I feel like they're the ones watching out for me.

Okina

Sometimes, I kinda like it, but other times, I feel like I should be better...

Okina

After all, I chose them, which makes them my responsibility. Only, things never go to plan...

Clownpiece

I know how you feel.

Clownpiece

I love it when Master and Lady Junko take care of me, but I wanna do something in return.

Clownpiece

I guess me and you are in opposite positions, huh?

Clownpiece

You think Satono and Mai are adorable, and you wanna be with them all the time. But that feeling overwhelms you.

Okina

I... I...

Clownpiece

Want them to care for you, right?

Clownpiece

You want them to see the real you.

Okina

*sobs* You're right. I wanna be cared for. I want them to care for meeee!

Clownpiece

But your pride gets in the way.

Clownpiece

Say... why don't you take a look at my torch?

Clownpiece

Perhaps I can do something about that pesky pride of yours!

Okina

Satonooo! Maaaaai! Care for me, cuddle me, tell me I'm cute!

Clownpiece

I had her wailing like a baby! Just picturing her face makes me giggle.

Clownpiece

No matter how strong someone is, deep down, they just wanna be cared for.

Clownpiece

But they bottle that feeling up and put on a brave face.

Clownpiece

I gotta do whatever it takes to help them open up.

Clownpiece

All right! I'm ready to get back out there and turn Gensokyo into a land full of crybabies!

Clownpiece

It's... LUNATIC TIME!

Cirno

Whoa, this river's huge! Can I freeze it?!

Joon

You're welcome to try... It really is big, huh?

Shion

You don't think that fairy's heading to Hell, do you?

Satori

It certainly seems like it. She's not from this world, but she was probably still born there.

So she's just visiting home?

Satori

That'd be nice. But I'd wager she's got another goal in mind.

Satori

This prank is on a whole other level...

Joon

Dealing with everyone's whining on the Road of Liminality sure wasn't easy.

Cirno

Don't remind me. I wasn't ready for all that.

Joon

We know... You didn't help us one bit.

Cirno

What was I supposed to do? They were all talking to me at once!

Satori

Don't worry about it. You did your best.

???

Sorry, Eika. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold back!

???

B-But I can't just leave you!

Joon

Don't tell me. Someone needs our help.

Cirno

Again?! But I'm exhausted!

Satori

...

Let's just go see what's going on.

Eika

Steady... Steady!

Urumi

*sob*

Urumi

I wanna cuddle!

Urumi

I wanna cuddle the cute kids!

Everyone

Say what?!

Satori

That went poorly.

Joon

Where was she hiding all those toys...?

Urumi

Thanks, you guys! Ever since that fairy showed up, I wasn't able to control my emotions.

Eika

But that means, deep down... you wanted to cuddle the kids all along, right?

Urumi

Oh, uhh... Maybe! Just a little!

Did you see where the fairy was headed next?

Urumi

What do you mean? There's only one place you can go from here...

Urumi

Hell!

Shion

...

Shion

Hey, Joon. It's pretty boring walking around down here, huh?

Joon

What do you expect? We're in Hell. It's not exactly known for its sightseeing.

Joon

Even if that fairy was born in her world's version of Hell, why would she bother coming here?

Shion

Maybe there's someone she wants to see.

Who has she pranked so far?

Satori

Eirin, Keine, Okina, and Urumi...

Shion

What do they all have in common?

Cirno

They're all super strong... and super busy.

Joon

Yeah, you're right. But is there anyone who fits that description in Hell?

Shion

Most people in Hell do as they please. I wouldn't exactly call them busy...

???

Hey, you guys! A little help!

Joon

Maybe all we need to do is follow the cries for help.

Shion

You never know, this could just be another random victim.

Satori

Either way, we have to help them. I wonder who it is...

???

Quit standing around and HELP! O-Oh no, she's gaining on me!

Komachi

I'm begging you!

Komachi?!

Satori

Which means she's probably being chased by―

Eiki

Quit running away!

Everyone

We're in for it now!

Joon

Being in Hell is even more stressful than I thought... That was our toughest battle yet.

Eiki

Thank you, everyone. I'm back to normal now. I promise.

Komachi

Then let go of my sleeve already.

Eiki

Do I have to? I like holding onto it.

Komachi

Well, it's not like I'm in a position to tell you what you can and can't do...

This was Clownpiece's doing, wasn't it?

Eiki

That's right...

Eiki

I know it's my job, but with work piling up like this every day...

Eiki

No, I shouldn't complain. If I can't manage Hell, who can?

Clownpiece

Making my way through Heeeell, enjoying the warmth for a speeeell!

Eiki

*gasp*

Eiki

You there! This is Hell, you know? It's no place for a fairy― Oh...

Clownpiece

Hey, Lady Yama! Do you know what I am?

Eiki

Even if I wasn't in charge of Hell, one look is enough to tell what you are.

Eiki

Hell-born fairies are rather rare... even if you are a little on the large side.

Clownpiece

I am? I feel like this is the same size I've always been.

Clownpiece

So how come you called me over? You got nothing to do?

Eiki

I'm swamped, actually.

Eiki

But I couldn't let a curious fairy just waltz into Hell.

Eiki

Regular fairies barely ever come here, you see.

Clownpiece

Haha, you're so nice! You stopped what you were doing just to help me out.

Clownpiece

You coulda just pretended not to see me and kept on working.

Eiki

...Tch. If you've got no business here, please leave. Like I said, I'm busy.

Clownpiece

Fine. If you say so.

Clownpiece

I'm starting to see why that weird invisible lady told me to come here.

Clownpiece

This Yama will make the perfect practice target before I try it on those two...

Eiki

What did you just say? Something about a practice target?

Eiki

Are you up to no good?

Clownpiece

What?! Of course not. Even if I was, it'd just be a silly fairy prank.

Clownpiece

Whatever I try, someone as powerful as you would be able to handle it, no problem

Eiki

That's true...

Clownpiece

Forget about all that. In fact... why don't you take a little look at my torch?

Komachi

So THAT'S what happened...

Komachi

Even for a Hell fairy, she sounds kinda strong. Like, too strong.

Komachi

She made light work of Lady Eiki.

Komachi

Don't look at me like that. I know it wasn't your fault.

Joon

...Regardless of who's at fault here, you're right that she seems too strong.

Shion

To think this is all just practice. Who are the two people she was talking about?

Cirno

...We gotta get to the bottom of this!

Satori

Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go after her.

Cirno

You're right!

We also need to go over everything we know.

Joon

True. Let's do that as we go.

In the L2.4 Universe, at Doremyland...

Aya

What is that? It's so colorful.

It's Doremin's brand-new snack, Dream Popcorn!

Each color tastes different. It's super yummy!

Aya

It kinda reminds me of the marketplace god...

Fairies

It's so pretty! What is it?!

Yuuka

Huh?

Small Fairy

I want some!

Aya

The fairies seem to like it.

Letty

Come to think of it, they preferred the more colorful flavors of ice cream.

Small Fairy

Hmm, it tastes so... normal!

Cheeky Fairy

Each color is different, but they all just taste like regular popcorn.

Cirno

Hey, what's going on over here?

Yuuka

We're just talking about the colorful popcorn PLAYER was eating.

Cirno

Whoa, it's awesome!

Yuuka

Really?

Yuuka

I guess fairies get drawn in by bright colors.

Yuuka

In that case... what do you make of this?

Cirno

Wow! Look at all the flowers!

Daiyousei

I've never seen so many different kinds all together! They're so beautiful!

Yuuka

Well, there's plenty more where that came from.

Fairies

This is amazing!

Aya

You can say that again, fairies.

Letty

I never thought I'd see a field of flowers in bloom at a theme park!

Aya

There must be plenty of flowers here that you don't get to see often, right, Miss Letty?

Letty

That's right. Normally, I only get to see winter flowers.

Letty

These are all quite beautiful. In fact, they couldn't look any better.

Yuuka

Flowers don't hold anything back when it comes time to blossom.

Yuuka

They dispose of everything they can go without, keeping only what they need to survive.

Yuuka

There's a simple and honest beauty in that which might draw in those who share this innocence.

Yuuka

After all, they say fairies have pure hearts, right?

Aya

Now that you mention it...

Letty

Innocence is such a wonderful thing.

Cheeky Fairy

I'm gonna pick all these flowers and take 'em home!

Mischievous Fairy

Cirno! Can you freeze these for me!

Letty, Yuuka & Aya

Stoooop!

Clownpiece

Hey, Lily. You feeling better?

Lily White

Yep. I'm full of energy again.

Clownpiece

All right then, let's do this!

Eternity Larva

Are you sure? Cirno and the others got a telling off.

Clownpiece

That's their own fault. This is the perfect plan.

Lily White

I have a bad feeling about this.

Clownpiece

What's with you two?! We're fairies. And fairies play pranks!

Eternity Larva

Y-Yeah, but... Miss Yuuka's the one running the Lost Fairy Center.

Clownpiece

Hehe. She acts all high and mighty, but at the end of the day, she's just a regular old staff member.

Clownpiece

And it's the staff members' job to make sure we have fun! And playing pranks is SUPER fun!

Clownpiece

There's no way we'll get in trouble!

Eternity Larva & Lily White

R-Really?

Clownpiece

Ready, Larva? Power up my flames with your ability!

Eternity Larva

Right now? ...Here goes!

Clownpiece

That's the stuff!

Clownpiece

All right! Gaze into my torchlight and lose control, fairies!

Yuuka

What's this all of a sudden?

Aya

It looks like she's finally here...

Clownpiece

It's lunatic time!

Lily White

Oh no! Everything's on fire!

Clownpiece

You were supposed to look away!

Yuuka

Hmph.

Clownpiece

We never stood a chance!

Eternity Larva

Yeah, but it was fun!

Lily White

Super fun!

Yuuka

It just never stops around here.

Aya

She's having a really tough time, huh?

Letty

At least the fairies look a little calmer now.

Aya

Oh, yeah. Normally, they're scared to death of her.

Letty

Maybe she's softening up a bit.

Aya

I don't think so. She doesn't usually concern herself with fairies or youkai weaker than her.

Aya

So the reason the fairies aren't afraid of her anymore...

Aya

...is because Miss Yuuka has opened up a little.

Letty

Fairies are pure of heart, after all.

Aya

Uh-huh. And that purity causes them to fear the unknown. They also tend to know when you're being dishonest.

Aya

At first, Miss Yuuka was holding back against them. That's why they were afraid.

Aya

But once she started playing with them in earnest, the fairies warmed up to her!

Letty

All right, I think I'll go and show them how cute I think they all are!

Umm... Miss Letty?

Stop patting my head, please!

Letty

But you're the cutest kid here.

Yuuka

Hey, you two! Quit standing around and GIVE ME A HAND!

Letty & Aya

Coming!

Aya

Things have finally calmed down around here. I think this is my chance.

Aya

Just gotta set up my tripod... Nice.

Yuuka

Aya? What are you doing?

Aya

The park's closing soon, right? I figured I'd take a photo of everyone.

Yuuka

Are you sure you want to take it here?

Aya

Of course. It can be a reminder of all the fun the fairies had.

Aya

We're getting in the photo, too, by the way.

Yuuka

But we're staff members.

Aya

That doesn't mean we can't get our photo taken.

Letty

You've been saying that all along, huh?

Aya

But it couldn't hurt to have a photo of the staff having fun, right?

Aya

I remember you saying something similar.

Letty

I want everyone to have fun and make memories together.

Letty

Hehe, so you realized what I really meant, huh?

Aya

Yep. "Everyone" includes us staff members.

Yuuka

Everyone, huh?

Yuuka

You're right. I think we should all be in the photo.

Aya

All right, I just gotta fix the camera's settings. The fairies were playing around with it earlier...

Aya

Hmm, this might take a while.

Cirno

Hey, Yuuka.

Cirno

Thanks for today!

Yuuka

I was simply doing my job as head of the Lost Fairy Center.

Yuuka

Say... do you think I did OK?

Cirno

Huh? I guess so.

Yuuka

The fairies were scared of me, and they played so many pranks...

Yuuka

I kept wondering why I was put in charge of the Lost Fairy Center.

Cirno

For real? Well, I had fun hanging out with you!

Cirno

And it seemed like you started having fun at some point, too.

Yuuka

It did...?

Cirno

You spend a lot of time alone, right?

Cirno

But playing with other people is pretty great!

Yuuka

Hehe, I think you might be right.

Cirno

Hehehe. I have a present for you to say sorry for the trouble I caused at the park!

Yuuka

Oh. What is it?

Cirno

I dunno! But I found it on the floor!

Yuuka

(Did she find one of our plushies or something...?)

Cirno

I know you'll like it!

Yuuka

Sure. Maybe. Where's the present?

Cirno

Over here!

Yuuka

Hm?

Cirno

I hid it under the cushions!

Yuuka

Is this..?!

Cirno

Hehe, it's pretty huge, right?!

Yuuka

It's a big blue Seal Crystal!

Aya

I've heard about those!

Letty

Oh, no! What were we supposed to do when we find one? Think. Think...

Letty & Aya

*gasp*

Aya

It shattered!

Letty

Does that mean it granted a wish? What did you wish for, Cirno?

Cirno

Uhh... I don't remember wishing for anything.

Yuuka

Whatever. It doesn't matter.

Aya

What do you mean it doesn't matter?!

This isn't good, is it?

Letty

Miss Yuuka, Cirno. Surely one of you wished for something.

Aya

Or maybe both of them did...

Yuuka

M-My wish isn't important.

Yuuka

The crystal shattered already. There's nothing we can do to change that.

Letty

I suppose you're right. It's gone for good.

Aya

I can't believe I didn't get a photo of it...

Yuuka

(When Cirno gave me the crystal, I was thinking the same thing as Aya and Letty were back then...)

Yuuka

(But there's no way I can tell them that.)

Yuuka

So anyway, is the camera ready yet?

Aya

Oh, right. Yeah, it's good to go.

Yuuka

C'mon, everyone, gather up. The park photographer's going to take our picture!

Fairies

Coming!

Aya

People on the right, bunch together a bit more, please. Fairies at the back, float a little higher.

Aya

OK, just setting the timer on the camera... Done.

Aya

Here goes! Does everyone remember Doremyland's magic words?

Fairies

Yeah!

Everyone

Ready...

Everyone

Dreaming with Doremy!

Aya

The photo came out great!

Letty

It was a busy night, but it was a lot of fun. Don't you agree, Miss Yuuka?

Yuuka

...I suppose. It might be fun working here every now and again.

Yuuka

And hopefully, there'll be some new faces around next time.

Doremin

Hehe, it seems like everyone had a wonderful time. Their dream souls are sparkling away.

Doremin

I was right to choose those three as my new staff members!

Doremin

But...

Doremin

How come they didn't wanna eat my Dream Popcorn?!

Doremin

Waaaaah!

Meanwhile, in the L^4 Universe...

Cirno

All right, let's go over what we know!

Shion

Do we really want her taking the lead here?

Joon

Well, she's certainly the most energetic.

Satori

And all the people we've helped seemed to really like her.

Joon

Maybe it's because she says exactly how she feels. It must be refreshing to hear for them.

Cirno

Don't get me wrong, I love all the compliments, but we got work to do!

Satori

(She really does say how she feels...)

We need to figure out what Clownpiece's goal is.

Joon

Plus, why is she so strong? And who is it she's still not ready to face?

Joon

I agree with PLAYER, though. First, we need to work out what she wants from all this.

Joon

It might just be me... but I think this is more than just a set of pranks.

Shion

Why do you think that?

Joon

I can't prove it or anything. It just occurred to me while I was thinking about who she's targeted so far.

Joon

They're some of the toughest players in all of Gensokyo, no?

Joon

Hardly the sort of people you'd want to annoy with a prank.

Cirno

Are the humans in the village strong, too?

Joon

I guess you'd call them an exception. After all, fairies aren't known for their self-discipline.

Cirno

You can say that again!

Satori

Well, if she's not just playing pranks, do you have a genius suggestion for what she IS doing?

I think our best bet...

...is to ask her directly.

Clownpiece

Welcome to Hell!

Joon

Got tired of pranking people, did you?

Clownpiece

I told you, I'm not playing pranks. Why won't you believe me? This is such a bummer.

Satori

We know what you're doing is no prank. At this point, it's fair to call it a medium incident.

Satori

Don't bother denying it. We already have a good idea of what's going on here.

Satori

You intentionally caused this medium incident.

Shion

We just can't figure out why.

Will you tell us?

Cirno

Yeah! We had a real tough time getting this far! Telling us can be like our reward!

Clownpiece

Wow, you consoled all those crybabies, huh? That certainly is worthy of a reward.

Clownpiece

I was gonna keep it to myself a little while longer...

Clownpiece

But you've got a satori youkai with you. I guess she would've read my mind eventually.

Clownpiece

...All right! I'll tell you!

Clownpiece

The reason I'm doing all this isn't super complicated though. All I want...

Clownpiece

...is to do something for the two people I care about the most.

Clownpiece

There are two people I care about more than anyone else...

Clownpiece

Master and Lady Junko.

Clownpiece

They look after me and always treat me so kindly.

Clownpiece

Whether I'm having fun or getting in trouble, they stick by me. They pat my head and say nice things about me.

Clownpiece

They make me so happy. But one day, it hit me...

Clownpiece

Who pats their heads? Who says nice things about them?

Clownpiece

Master and Lady Junko plan a bunch of stuff, trying to achieve their goals.

Clownpiece

But they must get tired sometimes. I know I do.

Clownpiece

So I figured I'd try looking after them for a change.

Clownpiece

But I knew neither of them would open up to me.

Clownpiece

That's when I got transported to this world. The first person I came across was a tired-looking person of Hourai.

Clownpiece

She was as strong and smart as Master and Lady Junko, and there she was, sighing to herself.

Clownpiece

Before I knew it, I was showing her my torch. I just wanted her to admit how tired she was.

Clownpiece

I thought she'd put up a fight... but it went great!

Clownpiece

Then it hit me. If it worked on the Moon person, it might just work on Master and Lady Junko.

Clownpiece

But jumping in at the deep end like that is pretty scary, no? So I've been practicing on my way here.

Joon

Just to remind you, the Hecatia and Junko you'll find here aren't the versions you know.

Clownpiece

Yeah, but it's still them. I'm sure they've both got a lot on their minds.

Clownpiece

So what does it matter that they're not technically my Master and Lady Junko?

Clownpiece

I do what I wanna do.

Clownpiece

And anyone who tries to stop me... is in for one Hell of a time!

Joon

Wow, she really is a Hell fairy...

Joon

All those bullets and she's still standing.

Clownpiece

You lot are pretty tough, too. But I'm just getting started―

???

Hey, Clownpiece!

???

Cut that out!

Clownpiece

Argh! There's only one person who pulls my cheek like this!

Clownpiece

Master! ...And Lady Junko's with you!

Junko

Whoa, you really are big. Maybe you ARE from another world.

Hecatia

Right? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her.

Miss Hecatia?!

Hecatia

Sorry to interrupt your battle. Just give me a moment.

Hecatia

On your knees, Clownpiece!

Clownpiece

Eep! O-OK!

Hecatia

I know you were trying to help us, but you took things too far!

Clownpiece

But... But...

Hecatia

Just knowing you were thinking of us makes me so happy.

Hecatia

I... I mean we, enjoy every moment we get to spend together.

Junko

In other words, you do more than enough for us already.

Clownpiece

Really?

Hecatia

Really. I'd be so sad without you.

Hecatia

And I'm sure your world's me feels the same.

Hecatia

So forget about what you're trying to do here, and go back to her.

Clownpiece

...OK!

Hecatia

And that's the end of that! You can put your torch away now, Clownpiece.

Cirno

It sounds like things are going well, but, uhh... who is that?

Satori

In a word, she's Clownpiece's caretaker.

Cirno

Makes sense to me!

Hecatia

Sorry it took so long for me to get here, everyone.

Hecatia

To be honest... I didn't know if it was right for me to step in.

Shion

Huh? You shoulda come way sooner.

Hecatia

But she's not MY Clownpiece. I wasn't sure I had the right to tell her what to do...

Hecatia

And she's obviously going to tell her Hecatia everything that happened here.

Hecatia

If I found out someone had been spending time with my Clownpiece, I'd be mad...

Junko

Basically, she didn't want to annoy the parallel world version of herself.

Junko

But―

Hecatia

But Clownpiece seemed to think we're not so different.

Hecatia

So even though we're from different worlds, I figured I'd give her a scolding.

So, it's over then?

Joon

We can finally relax...

Hecatia

Not quite.

Shion

Clownpiece caused this medium incident, right? Which means...

Hecatia

You all must have noticed it, too.

Hecatia

However strong this Clownpiece is, she pulled this off far too easily.

Junko

She took on some tough opponents. Surely they should've put up more of a fight.

Junko

But they were no match for her torch.

Joon

...So you're saying she must've had help.

Hecatia

Exactly. And whoever it was, they found some way to avoid detection.

Satori

I forgot! There was something I needed to tell you all. I just couldn't find the right moment.

Satori

This world we're in―

???

What a splendid dream you're all having. Thank you for the show.

Hecatia

It's her... Doremy!

Clownpiece

Is it just me, or does she look pretty different from normal?

Doremy

Look who's talking!

Doremy

So anyway... you knew I was in this world, huh?

Hecatia

Of course. After all, you've been here a long time already...

She has?!

Doremy

I thought I was doing a pretty good job hiding myself... Oh well.

Doremy

I came to this world a while back. Not on purpose, mind you.

Doremy

I didn't know how to get home, so I decided to peek in on this world's dreams. But boy, was I in for a shock.

Doremy

Everyone here's, like, totally exhausted, no? I couldn't find one fun dream...

Doremy

I wanted to do something to help...

Doremy

So when I found a big blue Seal Crystal, I made a wish.

Hecatia

And that's when Clownpiece appeared. You could've asked for permission first.

Doremy

Maybe. But since I was the one who brought her here, I figured I'd support her in every way I could.

Doremy

I even abandoned my goal in favor of hers.

Doremy

You knew what I was up to as well, right, magical girl?

Satori

Yes. I realized some time ago that this Gensokyo...

Satori

...is all a dream.

Joon

Come again?!

Cirno

Are we a dream, too?!

Doremy

Don't worry. I may not be much, but I'm still the caretaker of dreams.

Doremy

I transported your entire bodies here so there'd be no discrepancy between your real-world and in-dream lives.

Doremy

I knew there was no way this world's me would stand for someone interfering with its dreams...

Doremy

But what I'm doing is so much fun, that I thought she might let me get away with it.

Doremy

Going around keeping the dream stable was way more tiring than I thought it'd be, though...

Doremy

Then again, what's a little hard work compared to the thrill of a good dream?!

Doremy

...So, when did you realize this wasn't the real world?

Satori

Reading people's minds, I could see they were struggling to maintain their sanity―which is what happens in a dream.

Satori

I'd guess that their steady spiral toward insanity is what allowed them succumb to Clownpiece so easily.

Satori

And in that way, you've been "supporting" her all along.

Cirno

Hate to interrupt your big speech, but how come you didn't tell us sooner?

Satori

I tried, but we had other things to deal with!

???

Open your eyes, everyone. This world is not as it seems.

???

Can any of you tell me when the popcorn you're all eating first appeared in the village?

???

...No one? That's right!

Satori

There's only one explanation―

Cirno, Joon & Shion

So you DID try to tell us...

Satori

Did you think I was lying?! Anyway... You're going to let us out of this dream, right, Miss Doremy?!

Doremy

Hmm...

Doremy

I'm not sure yet.

Everyone

Huh?

Doremy

I brought you all here against your will, so if you really want to leave, I guess that's fine.

Doremy

But everyone seems to love this dream. I'd hate to see it end. Besides, there's a chance it gets even more fun from here.

Doremy

Not to mention transporting your bodies is hard work...

Doremy

But I suppose it has to end sometime... Fine. Allow me one final request to say farewell to this wonderful dream.

Doremy

Give me a finale like no other!

Doremy

If you want to wake up from this dream... you'll have to take me down!

Doremy

Ow, ow, ow! I give up! I GIVE UP!

Doremy

Some of those bullets had big "let me outta here" energy. Don't worry, I'll end the dream now!

Joon

Hell yeah, you will.

Clownpiece

(Those were my bullets... Better keep quiet, though.)

Doremy

This sucks, though. I thought I could use this dream to spread word of my Dream Popcorn...

So that's your popcorn?

Doremy

To make this dream easier to manage, I brought everyone's bodies here.

Doremy

But unlike us youkai, human bodies need food. Thus, the popcorn.

Doremy

The supply was limited though, so I made it look pretty unappetizing to everyone who wasn't human.

Doremy

But hearing people look at it with disgust really bummed me out...

Shion

...Forget about the popcorn. Send us back to the real world.

Shion

(Maybe I'll try and take some popcorn home with me...)

Doremy

All right. Even I don't want to force you to stay. It's time、 to wake up. But first...

Clownpiece

Is that...?!

Doremy

I found it while you were all having fun in the dream. I was planning to use it for myself...

Doremy

But given everything I put you through, I'll give it to you as a reward of sorts.

Doremy

Thanks for showing me a super dream.

Doremy

And if you don't mind, be sure to tell everyone back in your world about all the fun you had.

Clownpiece

You got it!

Cirno

Hang on. What was the point of all this? Couldn't you have just helped people yourself, Doremy?

Cirno

You coulda told 'em they looked tired and that they should rest a while.

Cirno

...What?

Shion

Nothing. It's just... you're absolutely right.

Joon

Yeah... This dream caretaker lady didn't need to do any of this.

Doremy

Hahaha... L-Let's talk about this some other time! Whaddya say?!

Satori

Doremy... As punishment, you're going to find enough Seal Crystals for us all to get home.

Clownpiece

Wait, is it really OK for me to use this one? I caused you all so much trouble...

Joon

With everything that just went down, I'm happy to let you use it.

Cirno

Me too. I'd hate to use it with you and end up some place weird.

Satori

That settles it. The Seal Crystal's yours.

Hecatia

Your world's me is probably lonely without you. You should get back to her.

Clownpiece

...Thanks, everyone!

Clownpiece

I'm headed home!

Clownpiece

Back to the people I care about most!

Doremy

And that's the end of that―

Joon

Not so fast. You've got Seal Crystals to find.

Doremy

I-I know that. But I've got a lot of work to do...

Doremy

Like, uhh... finding all the tired people, and making sure they have fun dreams.

Doremy

Can't argue with that, right?

Joon

What do you think, Cirno?

Cirno

I don't trust her.

Joon

We're gonna keep a close eye on you until you get us all home.

Joon

And don't think we're gonna forget all the trouble you put us through!

Doremy

Haha... Dreams take all sorts of twists and turns, no? I was thinking this was a good time for me to vanish into thin air.

Joon

Dreams, shmemes! Start looking for those Seal Crystals!

You made this bed, now you gotta lie in it!

Doremy

Yikes...

Doremy

This doesn't sound like it's gonna be any fun at all.

Doremy

Can't you all just dream up some crystals?

Everyone

WE WOULD IF WE COULD!

Yukari

Welcome back, PLAYER.

Yukari

This interworld festival was a lot of work, but a lot of fun, wouldn't you say? Hehe.

Yukari

I was simply watching on, but the hectic fun didn't stop till the very end!

Yukari

With popcorn in hand, it was like I was at the movie theater. Perhaps that's a little mean of me to say.

Yukari

The fun you experience in dreams cannot be shared with other people... ordinarily.

Yukari

But you and I both saw and remember the same dream. So we can discuss it.

Yukari

If someone doesn't know something, you can explain it to them. In that sense, words truly are incredible...

Yukari

With words, information spreads. They make you want to spread information so others understand your point of view.

Yukari

Even if the stories you paint are as abstract as dreams, they linger on in the minds of everyone who hears them.

Yukari

If this interworld festival helped you understand that, then it was truly worthwhile.

Yukari

But now, this festival has come to an end... Just kidding.

Yukari

No one wants a fun-filled dream to end. But what becomes of it when it does?

Yukari

Before long, it's forgotten.

Yukari

Surely you've had a dream like that before?

I have. At least, I want to believe I have.

Is that childish of me?

Yukari

Good answer. To that, I'll say...

Yukari

This is Gensokyo―

Yukari

―where even the most unlikely of dreams come true.

Yukari

Come on, take a seat beside me.

Yukari

Let's enjoy this dream a little longer.

Yukari

Don't worry, I still have plenty of popcorn.

Clownpiece

All right. It's time for another fun-filled night at Doremyland!

Clownpiece

Are ya still with me, PLAYER?

H-Hold up a sec!

Lemme catch... my breath!

Clownpiece

Huh?

???

Huh?

Clownpiece

Owww! What was that?!

Clownpiece

Whoa... I'm dizzy.

Clownpiece

Why'd this have to happen to me...? Ah well, at least I made it back to my world. Wait...

Clownpiece

No, I didn't!

Clownpiece

There's another me here! Which means...

Clownpiece

This is another parallel world!

Clownpiece

A new me just fell outta the sky!

T-Two Clownpieces?!

What's going on here...?

Clownpiece

I coulda sworn I was gonna make it back to my world.

Clownpiece

I miss home so much...

Clownpiece

I-I dunno what you're on about, but quit crying already. Cheer up, me.

Clownpiece

*sniff* You're being nice to me... This world's me is pretty great too, huh?

They both seem pretty relaxed about this...

Clownpiece

Here, eat this. It'll make you feel better.

Clownpiece

Oh, uhh... I'll pass.

Clownpiece

I was expecting a thank you!

Clownpiece

Actually, this stuff isn't so bad.

Clownpiece

See? I told ya it'd hit the spot! Glad you decided to try it, other me!

And I'm glad you stopped crying.

So... you came from a parallel world, right?

Clownpiece

I think so!

Clownpiece

In fact, with another me here, I'd say I'm pretty certain.

Clownpiece

It's kinda tricky to know what to call each other, though.

Clownpiece

How 'bout we come up with some nicknames?

Clownpiece

Nice idea.

Piece

My fairy friends call me Piece. You can do the same!

Clownpiece

Whoa, that's a cool nickname.

Piece

You can be Clowny. Or Clown-P!

Clown-P

All right. Call me Clown-P.

I know I'm not a fairy, but I'll call you Piece, too!

Nice to meet you, Clown-P!

Doremin

What's this?

Doremin

Two Clownpieces?! This feels like a big scoop!

W-Wait, Doremin!

They're not the same!

The bigger one came here from a parallel world!

Doremin

I see...

Clown-P

This world's Doremy is suuuuper cute.

Doremin

Actually, I'm Doremin, Doremyland's mascot.

Clown-P

Say what? I can't believe this!

Doremin

That's my line! Now there's a small Clownpiece AND a big Clownpiece!

Doremin

But more importantly than that...

Doremin

You were both eating my Dream Popcorn!

Doremin

Thank you so much... I wish everyone could've seen you munching away.

Doremin

All right, you two are gonna be the poster girls for my popcorn!

Piece

For real?! That sounds super fun!

Clown-P

Wait a sec. What's in it for us?

Piece

Don't be like that. This way, we'll get to hang out together.

Clown-P

Yeah, but I wanna get home. And that means I need to find another Seal Crystal.

Clown-P

Sorry. I don't have time to mess around.

Doremin

You wanna get home, huh? Then listen up.

Doremin

Sell all the Dream Popcorn, and I'll give you this!

Clown-P

...For real?!

Clown-P

I dunno...

Doremin

Look, you wanna get home, right?

Clown-P

Yeah, but the only reason I'm here is 'cause of the red Seal Crystal the Doremy in that last world gave me.

Doremin

Uhh... Sorry?!

Doremin

But I'm not Doremy, I'm Doremin. And I never tell a lie!

Clown-P

...Fine. If you really want my help THAT bad.

Clown-P

Gimme that crystal for a sec. I wanna see if it works.

Doremin

After you've helped me.

Clown-P

No, now.

Piece

Stop, Clown-P! Battling Doremin is a bad idea!

Clown-P

This is the fastest way for me to get home! We got this, Piece!

Piece

Since when was it "we"?!

Clown-P

Hey, didn't we just beat her? What's the deal?

Piece

I got a bad feeling about this...

Clown-P

Something is DEFINITELY not right here! How's she back again?!

Piece

Get me outta this nightmare!

Doremin

Will you―

Doremin

―help me sell―

Doremin

Dream Popcorn?!

Piece & Clown-P

...Yes.

Piece

I promise to try my best...

Clown-P

Me too. It's not like beating you a FOURTH time is gonna do any good.

Clown-P

I'll sell all the popcorn, then use the Seal Crystal to go home.

Doremin

That's the spirit! I'm starting to like you two.

Piece, Clown-P, are you OK?

You're not hurt, are you, Doremin?

Doremin

In the Dream World, I'm all-powerful! I can't get hurt, and I don't hurt others.

Doremin

But... I understand the situation better now.

What do you mean?

Doremin

I took a bite out of the big Clownpiece's dream soul...

Doremin

And it seems like she's in this mess because of a parallel-world me.

Doremin

I can't help but feel a little guilty...

Doremin

Then again, I'm not parallel-world Doremy, I'm regular-world Doremin.

Doremin

Then again... again, I still feel sorry for her. So I figure if she sells my popcorn, I'll help her get home.

Doremin

Make sense?!

I-I think so.

I can tell this is your way of being nice!

Doremin

OK, you two. Time to sell Dream Popcorn!

Piece

Let's do this, Clown-P!

Clown-P

If we're gonna do this, we gotta go all out!

Yuuka

Look, a popcorn stand. I think I might get some.

Clown-P

Our first customer!

Piece

How much do you want?

Yuuka

I need enough for everyone at the Lost Fairy Center, so... I'll take everything you've got.

Clown-P

E-Everything?!

Doremin

Dream Popcorn has gotten THAT popular?!

Doremin

Huh...

Doremin

Awesome!

Chen

I want Dream Popcorn!

Rumia

Me too!

Tojiko & Futo

Don't forget about us!

Clown-P

OK, OK. Line up over here.

Piece

Th-This popcorn's real popular, huh?!

Letty

Yuuka says all the little fairies have been going around telling everyone how yummy it is.

Aya

Plus, it's super colorful. Once you see a fairy chomping some down, it's hard to forget it.

That makes sense...

...I want some, too!

Kaguya

We finally found it. Mokou, over here.

Mokou

Slow down. The popcorn's not going anywhere.

Sunny Milk

This is it! The popcorn stand the newbies are running!

Star Sapphire

All right, we better test 'em out!

Luna Child

They look pretty busy. Maybe we should take it easy on them.

Clown-P

Yikes! So many customers!

Piece

I love a challenge! Let's deal with them all at once!

Clown-P

R-Right! Here goes nothing!

Piece & Clown-P

IT'S LUNATIC TIME!

Clown-P

Hang on. There's more popcorn coming!

Piece

I got one portion ready to go!

Kaguya

They said they've got one portion. What do we do, Mokou?

Mokou

...I'm sure we can just share it.

Sunny Milk

Popcorn, please!

Star Sapphire

Freshly popped and covered in caramel! Oh, and pile it up high!

Luna Child

I can't wait!

Sunny Milk

Mmm, so good... Just kidding! It tastes completely normal!

Luna Child

Yeah, but I could totally keep eating it forever.

Star Sapphire

It's kinda addictive, huh? I wonder why...

Clown-P

It's great, right?! It tastes normal... but also super yummy!

Sunny Milk

I never thought you two Pieces could make popcorn like this.

Piece

Together, it's a PIECE of cake. Get it?

Luna Child

Good one... Wait.

Fairy Guides

There are two Pieces?!

Piece

You only just realized?!

Clown-P

You gotta be kidding me...

Star Sapphire

Wow!

Luna Child

I-Is this the power of Doremyland?!

Clown-P

I'd love to explain, but we're kinda busy. I'll tell you later.

Star Sapphire

But we wanna know now.

Sunny Milk

Yeah, but it's about time we got back to work...

Luna Child

Sunny's right. Besides, this way, we have something to look forward to!

Sunny Milk

We'll be back later, Pieces!

Piece

See ya then.

Clown-P

Hehe, Doremin's gonna be so surprised when she sees how popular our popcorn stand is.

Piece

Let's keep this up!

Clown-P

OK, who's next? ...Huh?

Piece

Where'd all the customers go? There were so many of them a minute ago...

Clown-P

Weird.

Clown-P

This is terrible! How are we gonna sell popcorn with no customers?!

Clown-P

Even our regulars are nowhere to be seen...

Piece

Hey, check it out. People are walking around with Dream Popcorn, but they sure as Hell didn't buy it from us!

Clown-P

You mean they bought it someplace else?!

Clown-P

It's over. Now I'll never be able to get home!

Piece

Look! That fairy's got an empty bucket. It looks like she's running to go get more!

Piece

If we follow her, we might be able to find this other popcorn stand.

Clown-P

Great idea!

Piece

Hey, Clown-P. You're doing all this so you can get home, right?

Clown-P

Yeah. What's up?

Piece

I was just thinking... if everything goes well, we'll have to say goodbye.

Clown-P

Look, it's all our customers! This has gotta be the place!

Piece

Even the little ones from the Lost Fairy Center are here. This sucks!

Clown-P

Let's see who's been selling our popcorn!

Clown-P

Hey, you! What's the big idea―

Piece & Clown-P

Doremin?!

Doremin

B-B-B-Busted.

Clown-P

What gives?! You said we were in charge of selling popcorn!

Doremin

W-Well, the thing is...

Clown-P

This better be good!

Doremin

At first, no one liked my Dream Popcorn...

Doremin

Then all of a sudden, it got super popular.

Doremin

So I figured the best thing to do was sell it myself!

Doremin

Makes sense, right?

Clown-P

And what about us?!

Piece

Yeah! 'Cause of you, people have stopped coming to our popcorn stand!

Sanae

S-Stop arguing! I couldn't help but overhear...

Sanae

And I don't know all the details... but Doremin did nothing wrong!

Doremin

You heard the lady. Now, leave the popcorn selling to me!

Piece

Y-You can't be serious?!

Clown-P

Huh?! This doesn't make any sense!

Kanako

Seems like they're upset there's two popcorn stands.

Suwako

Are they fighting? Boy, am I glad we've got popcorn.

Kanako

We can't let things get out of hand, though... Don't worry, I know what to do.

Kanako

It's simple. Whoever is least fit to run a popcorn stand has to back down.

Kanako

And to find out, we're going to have a popcorn-making contest!

Doremin

I'm in! It's obvious I'm gonna win, though.

Piece & Clown-P

Bring it on!

Doremin

Staff members, ASSEMBLE!

Piece & Clown-P

That's gotta be cheating!

Sanae

Wh-What beautiful bullets... I couldn't help but reach for their popcorn.

Sanae

No. Nothing can surpass my love for Doremin! Or can it...?

Suwako

It's OK, Sanae. Everyone feels the same.

Sanae

*sob* *sob*

Kanako

Looks like it's settled then.

Kanako

Even though they were outnumbered, the two Clownpieces made some incredible popcorn.

Kanako

Which means they're the winners!

Clown-P

We did it! We beat Doremin!

Doremin

You sure did. I can hardly believe it!

Doremin

Plus...

Doremin

Thanks to you, my Dream Popcorn is fully sold out! Now everyone knows how yummy it is!

Doremin

One Seal Crystal, as promised!

Clown-P

Yay! Thanks for your help, Piece! Now I can finally go home!

Piece

Y-Yep...

Clown-P

What's up?

Piece

Nothing. It's just...

Piece

Do you wanna play a bit before you go...?

Doremin

Oh no, look at all these Dream Coins! If someone doesn't use them tonight, they'll all disappear!

Doremin

Won't someone use them to have tons of fun at the park?

Clown-P

This is the Moon Voyager 2000 roller coaster! You gotta fire bullets at each other while you blast along at high speed!

Piece

What are we waiting for?! You're going down!

Clown-P

Hahaha! I'm gonna up the speed, Piece!

Piece

You don't need permission from me! Go, go, go!

Clown-P

You're wide open!

Piece

I'm what?

Clown-P

That was too easy!

Clown-P

We could do this all night and you'd still never beat me.

Piece

Damn! I'll get you on the next attraction!

Clown-P

And which one would that be?

Piece

Ummm... The haunted house in the Dream Palace of the Earth Spirits!

Clown-P

Pah! You think I'm scared of a little stroll though a haunted house?

Piece

Hehe, I wouldn't get cocky if I were you.

Piece

There are more than enough surprises in there to make a Hell fairy scream!

Clown-P

Maybe. But now you've warned me, surely I'll be fine...

Ahhhh!

Piece & Clown-P

Th-That was so scary!

Clown-P

I-I mean... it wasn't THAT scary. The chainsaw-wielding corpse barely made me flinch!

Piece

Y-Yeah! They added a few more surprises since last time, but I was still completely fine!

Clown-P

So how come your legs are shaking so bad?! They're like jello!

Piece

Says you. You're covered in sweat!

Clown-P

It's pretty easy to tell when we're lying seeing as we're the same person and all...

Piece

Yep... That was super scary.

Clown-P

F-Forget about the haunted house. Whaddya say we battle it out on the spinning teacups?!

Piece

Nice idea. Whoever spins the most wins!

Piece

Hehe, look. I snuck in some Dream Popcorn!

Clown-P

Nice one. Let's eat it while we're on the next ride!

Clown-P

(This is strange...)

Clown-P

(Before, all I could think about was getting home.)

Clown-P

(But ever since I got that Seal Crystal, I've been feeling kinda off.)

Clown-P

(This place seemed so bright and beautiful at first. But now, it just makes me sad.)

Clown-P

(I don't wanna forget all the fun I had here. I wanna stay forever...)

Clown-P

*sob* *sob*

Piece

Wh-What is it?

Clown-P

I wanna stay here and play with you forever!

Piece

I... I'd love that! We can ride the roller coasters every night!

Clown-P

*sniff* Thanks, Piece.

Clown-P

But I can't stay.

Clown-P

Master and Lady Junko are waiting for me to come home.

Clown-P

Which is why... I have to bring this dream to an end.

Piece

What are you saying, Clown-P?

Clown-P

Sorry, but I think that's all the fun we can have together.

Clown-P

It's time...

Clown-P

It's time for me to go home.

Piece

You can't leave... *sob*

Clown-P

Don't cry!

Clown-P

Don't...

Clown-P

*uncontrollable sobbing*

Clown-P

Thanks, Piece. I'll never forget this night. I'll tell my Master and Lady Junko all about you when I get home!

Piece

And I'll tell MY Master and Lady Junko all about you!

Clown-P

Take good care of 'em, OK?

Piece

...You got it.

Clown-P

All right. It's time.

Piece

I'm sure we'll meet again.

Clown-P

Bye, Piece. And...

Clown-P

Farewell, Doremyland.

Clownpiece

IT'S LUNATIC TIME!
