Ueno Fluffy Dream Kingdom Episode 2 Part 2

Story picks up in the middle of battle as books keep falling down, with Alp noting that there’s nowhere left to run. A bunch more are falling towards him, so you call out to him and tell him to take your hand. He has trouble keeping up, so you grab him by the arm and pull him away.

Alp shivers at the thought at what would have happened if the books landed on him, but then he notices one falling towards you. He leaps into action kicking it and the other books Jambavan ends up scattering away, and you thank him for it. He says he was just imitating what you did and thinks it’ll shortcut the road to becoming popular.

Jambavan runs in circles in his panic, so Leib tells you guys not to get needlessly close to him. You say you can’t just leave him though and wonder how you guys can calm him down. Alp mentions he’s hungry even though now isn’t really the time for that, but Leib says it’s a good idea. The plan is to give Jambavan a break and some food.

Alp is confused by this, so Leib says the best thing to get things under control is to stick to a routine. In this case it’d be having Jambavan acts as he normally does. The problem is that it’s too dangerous to do anything right in front of him now, so getting anywhere will require making an opening. Alp says you guys will have to cooperate then and asks if you’re ready.

You say you are, so Leib says he’ll direct from the back and tells Fenrir to act as the decoy and “do as he usually does.” Fenrir agrees and calls Leib the Tree Spirit that Sheds/Washes Away Red Blood and stays where he is, while you and Alp hide yourselves.

Fenrir calls Jambavan’s attention to himself, then yells and releases his ropes for just a moment. Jambavan freaks out at this, saying that he can’t let this happen. His father told him that it was his role to maintain the world, so logically he has to stop Fenrir. Him remembering this confuses him over what his actual job is supposed to be since it conflicts with his dream self’s thoughts.

Fenrir manages to pull back and keep himself from rampaging in his giant form, which Jambavan says is what usually happens when Fenrir changes clothes. If it’s just for a second then he says Fenrir can undo the bindings without an issue, but then panics at what that could mean.

You and Alp take the opening this presents while Jambavan freaks out about it being a trap. Alp prompts you to act, so you use your CS to disconnect Jambavan from the power affecting him. This happens first with Alp tripping Jambavan over and you cutting at where Alp grabbed Jambavan.

He cries as you attack, and in the middle of it all Alp activates his artifact to switch around dreams and reality. The combined powers cause Jambavan to rapidly return to his normal size. However he still happens to be in his dream mindset wailing about the endless work that he has to get to. He falls to his knees and pounds on the ground, and the power that made him rampage starts to manifest again.

Fenrir says the fragments of emotion and agitation are welling up and turning into power, and Alp says things will just keep going at this rate. You wonder if this will go anywhere or ask Leib for ideas. He says this is enough and says you guys did good.

Before you know it Leib is standing behind Jambavan, and Alp says it’s dangerous. Leib says the bell’s rung and tells Jambavan it’s about time for his break. Jambavan is confused and says he missed it again, then tries to say he still has work left. He stops his fit though and pulls his pocket watch out for a look.

Leib says he’s already made tea, so Jambavan can’t just leave it cold. Jambavan notices and agrees, calming down as Leib gives it to him. He says it smells good and thanks Leib, then says it seems to be missing something that he normally has with it. Alp grabs some scones from a shelf and offers them next.

Jambavan thanks Alp for the scones, then says he wants a bit more sweetness that the tea and scones don’t have. You hand over some jam and cream, so Jambavan happily starts having his usual tea time, taking a seat at a table set up and sipping.

This all calms him down, and he comments that thanks to Alice a friend this started being customary to him. He describes tea time as break time, the best moments he has to himself when no one can fluster him. Alp sees it as his all or nothing chance to activate his artifact again and cancel its effects while everyone still thinks this is Jambavan’s overworld shift. He flips his hat around where no one can see and dances, which causes the dream world to shift.

Everyone turns up in the pink cloud dream realm and Jambavan questions what he was doing. Leib notes that he’s back to normal and asks if he’s okay now. Jambavan apologizes, saying he doesn’t remember what happened but feels like he’s caused people problems. Leib notes the mental confusion and says there’s something strange about where they are, suggesting that there’s a strange logic to how things are working.

You either ask Leib if he understand anything about the situation, wish you had any clues to solving this incident, or say Jambavan’s pajamas are cute. Going with A, Leib says more analysis is needed. All he can say is that the library world has to be disconnected from reality. Also, a part of the people who have been taken into the world have been brainwashed, or more specially have been made to believe something.

Leib then starts talking about Jambavan’s panic state and the events that led to his growing in size. When he connects it to the way the mind states were lifted, he compares it all to waking up from a dream. He then comments on how the world was unrealistic and changes based on illogical willpower and remembers the picture book’s theme for the event. Alp panics to himself.

Leib says he mostly has an idea about how the strange overworld shift and its rules work. You either say you don’t or say it must be a dream. If you go with B he approves of you following along. Anyways he says this world is related to dreams and tentatively calls it a Dream World. This would make everything that happened understandable as Jambavan’s dream.

Leib does seem to feel a little bit bad that Jambavan still thinks about work in his dreams, but he sets it aside for now and says he wants to know something else. You interrupt to either protest that in shock or suggest that might be the root cause of things. Leib just continues on and asks Jambavan if anything happened before he went to bed.

Jambavan says nothing in particular happened. But then he remembers something. Flashback goes to him talking about the general story his team has decided upon and how they’ll start drawing it after deciding their work pace. Jambavan then thinks to himself about how he’d like to read about a Kingdom of Books that would have anything he wanted and how he’d like to live there if it existed.

He also says he sympathizes with the Library King they have in their story. The Library King’s work is to pick up the one book any of the kingdom’s citizens ask for among the infinite collection, which he compares to how he does anything anyone asks of him. Some alchemist classmate tells him he should leave his work for tomorrow and go to bed, which Fenrir agrees with. Jambavan says he will, and the flashback ends.

Leib figures that means whatever you were thinking about before going to sleep will be reflected in your dream world and influence what shape it takes. Jambavan cries and apologizes to everyone, and Alp thinks that Jambavan’s style of charm is in kindness and being unable to refuse anyone. He also thinks that he can’t really imitate that style of popularity because he’s trying to become popular himself.

Anyways Alp says Jambavan shouldn’t worry about it and says this is all an accident. Leib questions this since getting involved in other people’s dreams is not normally possible, then says he thinks there has to be one more factor that caused all this and that it’s artificial.

Alp panics to himself since he’s figured out that everyone getting dragged into this incident is his own fault. He worries about everyone getting angry and hating him and hopes to avoid that outcome. Plus he figures his artifact has been turned off anyways, so he thinks he has a chance of covering it all up.

Alp starts saying he doesn’t really get all the talk about dream worlds and tries to claim the world is about to undo itself. And if everyone gets back to reality it won’t matter! Except he’s then surprised that everyone is transported to Candyland. You say it seems to be another dream world, which Leib also says and sighs about as the episode ends.
