Gunzou manages to narrowly
avoid it due to almost superhuman danger sense, mostly due to Legion
taking action to protect him. Jambavan is both shocked and impressed
with the move. Leib however says that if that’s how athletes fight, you
guys should show how you fight as researchers. Then he orders Fenrir to
go forward while you and Jambavan are to flank around from opposite
sides.
Fenrir agrees to play the tank, with
you and Jambavan moving to follow up. Wakan compares your guys’ tactics
to the shotgun formation in football or whatever, then he and Gunzou
charge forward. Durga calls a stop to everything offering to eat the
candy already, so you talk to her and say she doesn’t have to force
herself.
Durga thanks you for your concern
but says she’s okay and that she wants to try the sweets brought to her.
She’s been tempted by the presentation and aromas, so she’s just gonna
do it. The crowd of people in the castle cheer her declaration, and the
alchemists start crying from how moved they are.
Gunzou
and Wakan Tanka congratulate her, with Wakan saying he wants to
remember this day forever. Durga is a bit embarrassed but touched by all
the positive reactions, and Jambavan says it seems like a fun dream
with all the cheering. Alp agrees saying it’d be a waste to not eat a
dream this sweet. Leib comments on Durga deciding to eat, then wonders
how this will go down.
Durga tries out a
cake on a table and yells about how good it is, which prompts more
cheering as the alchemists go congratulations Shinji
Durga! They repeat congratulations a whole lot actually, which Gunzou
joins in on. Wakan says she should share her feelings, so she talks
about how great it all tastes as she keeps eating.
Jambavan
asks if things were like this in his dream because he’s starting to
feel embarrassed. Fenrir asks the same thing, phrasing it as having his
foolishness put on display. Durga gets offended by that remark, but she
stops thinking about it to say she can’t stop with just having one piece
of the sweets.
Time passes as Durga has
like two or three of everything, and when the camera tunes back in Durga
has grown to giant size. She notices herself in a mirror that’s there
and is shocked about getting so big. You either make the observation
that she’s gotten huge or point out in which ways she’s gotten big.
Jambavan says she seems to have gotten bigger according to the amount of
stuff she ate, and Fenrir says she grew like Jambavan did.
Jambavan
is embarrassed to hear he was like that too, and Durga starts having a
freakout. Wakan compliments her new looks, but Durga tells everyone to
stop looking at her like a mountain, then yells that she hates sweets.
Durga
mows down the surrounding area with her fists, breaking tables and
knocking away dessert chefs. You guys have been watching from a
distance, but you all still retreat a bit. Leib comments about this
being a bad sign, then says all her restrained thoughts have turned into
guilt, calling it excessive rejection.
Alp
seems to understand something and says that this is what Durga’s dream
originally looks like. Everything that happened until now was a
half-awakened state, a self-contradictory dream. Alp says Durga is
actually the Destructive Ruler of Candyland.
When
you ask what he means, Jambavan speaks up and explains that this dream
world wasn’t made to be eaten. It was made so that Durga could trash it.
Following that train of thought, Durga might start thinking she should
destroy you all too as you’re there and may be seen as a part of it. You
repeat the points about the dream world being set up to be destroyed
and question what would happen if you’re all seen as parts to be
destroyed.
Fenrir comments about there
being a destroyer and things created to be destroyed, then says this
world must have some profound fate if it has the same things going on.
Gunzou tries to talk to Durga to calm her down, but he wakes up partway
through and wonders what the hell he’s doing. You notice the awakening
and turn to see if Wakan is free too.
Wakan
seems to be fine, though he yells to Gunzou and says he should get out
before the castle collapses. Alp thinks to himself and is surprised
their consciousnesses have returned from the depths of the dream. He
figures this means that since Durga isn’t in the state of mind to keep
the casting up, he might be able to turn things back. He puts on his hat
and tries to use it on them, while you call to everyone and tell them
to run.
Everyone else in the castle escapes
while Durga has her fit, and Wakan makes a reference to what her name
means. Gunzou asks why she’s going berserk, so you ask if they’ve gotten
their heads back on. He apologizes for causing trouble, and Jambavan
says he’s glad they’re back to normal. But just in case he does a check
up on them to see if anything strange is affecting them, which Wakan
agrees to.
Alp thinks to himself that he’s
managed to wake up the jock boys. However, he then says that it can only
work when someone’s about to wake up, or else it won’t have any effect
on them. He’s tried a bunch of times already. He hopes he can get it
right with Durga, but then realizes that if the situation is both a
Dream World and an overworld shift, he also has to get rid of her
regrets, so he freaks about all the stuff to be done.
Gunzou
says his head is fuzzy and asks what happened, so you explain. After he
processes that he asks to help stop Durga since she’s their friend, and
Wakan offers to help too. You agree to let them, then the party leaves
Durga to mess up the castle.
Back in town,
Leib recaps that you guys have to stop Durga and undo the Dream World.
He turns to the jocks and asks if Durga said or talked about anything to
them before bed. He figures that could give some clues on how to
approach her. Jambavan adds that it seems likely since his world was
also based off his bed time thoughts.
Flashback
occurs, and Gunzou says the day ended without them having even come up
with their story idea. Team Yoyogi seems to be the only group in that
position, which he freaks out about. Wakan says that when they discussed
it they couldn’t come to an agreement, so he suggests having one person
decide the idea and then everyone expands on it. Everything follows the
same roads that lead to him.
Gunzou
decides to disregard that last comment out of incomprehension, but he
agrees to the idea and asks who should decide. Durga then suggests a
cool and cute monarch who works hard so that they’ll always be number
one in the land. Wakan Tanka comments on her passion.
Durga
says she likes first place and won’t let go of it even when it comes to
story ideas, but she says she was told that taking first place doesn’t
mean everything is okay. To her it’s a matter of pride, going up against
someone else and managing to win. Gunzou says that’s like her and
agrees to the idea, and Wakan agrees to it after him.
Gunzou
says it’s about time to head to bed then, but asks how they’ll handle
arrangements. It’d be easiest to huddle up together, but they do have a
tent. Durga says of course they’ll be using a tent because she finds it
embarrassing otherwise. Gunzou is willing to accept it and is about to
suggest getting three tents, but Wakan decides to protest this.
Wakan
supports the three of them sleeping together and talking together since
they happen to be rooming together for this thing, throwing his arms
around their shoulders without missing a beat. Both beg off and pull
away. Wakan then comments on them having a good wavelength between them
and feeling a bit alienated.
Gunzou tries
to cheer him up a bit and says it’s natural that he makes a good
combination with Durga. She tells him to stop talking like Wakan Tanka,
but he doesn’t get what she means. She throws a pillow at him, pissed.
Gunzou
catches the pillow and figures she must be tired if she’s throwing
things at a rugby player. Durga gets even more annoyed and says she’ll
hit him out of pure stubbornness at this rate, and Wakan says he wants
in on the pillow fight. Durga makes it a race to see who hits the others
the most and challenges them to keep up with her. Gunzou is psyched to
play, and the pillow fight ensues.
Eventually
it turns out Durga won using her speed, according to Wakan. Gunzou says
throwing things to hit people is as hard as he thought it’d be. Durga
needles him about making excuses and tells him to accept he lost. But
then she comments about feeling hungry. Wakan says he has night time
snacks to share and has enough for the three of them. Gunzou does too
since he went to a nearby convenience store earlier.
Durga
tries to talk them out of it since eating that late will make them fat.
Gunzou thinks she’s just embarrassed about only having enough for
herself, so he tells her not to worry because he bought stuff he thinks
she’ll like. She refuses to have anything and says she’s going to sleep,
then heads into the tent.
Gunzou finds it
weird that Durga is refusing to have any snacks despite saying she likes
them. Wakan says he shouldn’t force his feelings into her and suggests
letting her be. And on that note they should go ahead and eat and talk
together! Gunzou decides they might as well then.
Durga
can hear them from inside her tent as they munch down on stuff, even as
she covers her ears. She pretends as hard as she can that she doesn’t
hear it, then says athletes should be controlling what they eat,
chanting to herself about how she shouldn’t have any of the snacks. She
eventually falls asleep while the boys continue to eat and talk, and the
flashback ends.
Everyone is speechless about
what Gunzou went over, but you’re the first to comment on the dick move
they pulled. Gunzou is shocked to hear this is his fault and thought he
was being nice by buying stuff for Durga. Jambavan says that wasn’t the
right idea. Leib brings things back to the current situation and says
all he got was the reason as to why the world was built. There wasn’t
any clues in the flashback about how to stop Durga though, so fighting
might be the only option. And that’s where the episode ends.
