Her
attacks causes a huge chunk of candy to go flying in the air and almost
fall down on you guys. You say you guys were almost crushed and compare
it to a boulder falling down. As things stand, Durga continues her
offensive relentlessly, and Gunzou apologizes about the candy from
before and tries to get her to stop. He also tries to agree that there
are times when athletes have to cut back and says he was insensitive.
Durga
thanks him for repenting a bit, but she insists on having to hold
herself back from having sweets and calls it her personal problem. So
now she wants to stamp out you guys and the world now. Gunzou wonders if
there’s something wrong with himself since he’s always pissing her off.
Wakan Tanka says this is fine. By fighting with her while trying to
talk to her, he’s sure that everyone will one day connect. Then he
activated his NP to set up a path for you guys.
Gunzou
takes the opportunity to charge, and he ends up pushing Durga back to
her surprise. She soon responds by shaking off the attack and
backflipping away to get some distance. You either say you can’t get
close at this rate or say it’s hard to fight without hurting someone.
Durga
gets frustrated at the interference and says she’ll turn things into a
battle of speed, then kicks at the ground and starts dashing off and
away. She insists on destroying the sweets, so she can’t be concerned
with you guys. Jambavan freaks out a little saying you guys are having a
horrible time keeping things from escalating. It’s not just in the
sense of physically stopping her, but also in the sense of talking her
down. You guys need to stop her now or else.
Alp
calls out to Durga and tells her not to run. She’s surprised by this
and says she’s not really trying to run from you guys, then asks if the
challenge is to keep her from destroying this world. Alp says she’s not
running from them, but from the sweets she loves. She’s confused by
this, so he points out that she’s keeping away from it despite actually
loving it. He calls it a mental weakness instead of effort.
Alp
starts talking about himself, saying that he wasn’t any good before.
Back in his home world, nothing he did panned out right. So when he came
to Tokyo, he decided he wanted to make himself over. He wanted to
change himself and be the most popular star and worked towards that
goal.
He says that when he saw how Durga
was striving to be number one the other day, he really liked that about
her and gives her mad respect for it. Durga seems flattered by it, and
Alp goes on to say that she doesn’t seem to be having fun in her dream.
He thinks it’s too painful to deny everything else for the sake of
obtaining one thing.
Durga tries to argue
that chasing multiple goals means you’ll fail to reach any of them. She
feels it’s greedy to pursue two things at once. Alp then asks who
decided that was the case. Her friends? Her teachers? Some bigwig she
never met?
Durga snaps and asks what other
ways Alp is getting at. She declares that if you want to be the best at
something, you’ll have to work harder than anyone at it. There is a
price to be paid to get to the top. Alp isn’t able to come up with a
response, so you point out that would mean Durga could never have any
sweets. She would get all angry and her results would suffer for it.
Durga recoils since you get a good point in.
Leib
sighs about how serious everyone is being, which Durga finds curious.
He doesn’t deny her point about having to pay with something in order to
get something else. But he points out that there’s always paying for
something later, which baffles Durga. You either say she should think of
things in reverse or ask if she can just eat the things later.
Alp
jumps on the point after realizing it himself and suggests that Durga
make having sweets a goal. She’s surprised by this idea, so he frames it
as motivation to make the efforts for things. It’s something to be
happy for when you grow, so you’ll be able to keep on going.
You
take this moment to hand over the candy that Parvati had given you.
Durga is astonished you have it and asks why, and she also refers to it
as either hard candy or toffee. Anyways she starts talking about the
thing.
It has the same sort of taste as
something someone once gave to her. She won first place at whatever it
was, and they gave it to her as a reward. The taste of it became a
reward to her, a taste she ended up forgetting. She asks again why you
have it, so you can either tell her the truth or try to hide Parvati’s
involvement.
Going A, Durga decides she
doesn’t want to know and thanks you for it. By giving her that candy,
she remembers something important to her. Alp notes that she’s stopped
attacking and has a guess about the candy. But before he thinks more on
it he feels that this might be the best chance he has to change Durga
back to normal, then activates his NP.
Gunzou
points out that Durga has returned to normal size, and Leib asks if
this means the dream will release itself. The next moment, you’re all
sent back to the pink dream cloud while Durga stares at the candy. She
talks about how she had plans to abstain from candy until she wins first
place even after now, but then admits she may be too hard on herself
and getting irritable would make running harder.
Durga
decides to treat the candy as her reward for going on such a big frenzy
and exercising. She breaks off a piece of it and eats it, smiling. The
rest will be for the next time she wins first place, she says as she
wraps it up.
She then talks about how this
bite might be a half step late for her, but if she bundles her desire to
win and the permission to have candy if she does, she feels she can
take a step forward.
Alp picks back up on
his thoughts about the candy, saying the candy that didn’t seem all that
special to you guys was special only to Durga. He calls it the key to
controlling the dream that went out of control. Durga then says she has
something to tell Alp.
She says she was
always looking away, and that she ended up thinking that it was greedy
to pursue more than one thing. But now she says it’s okay to be greedy
and selfish, so she’ll go for two, three things. She’ll be herself,
where she likes being first, having sweets, and having cute things. Alp
approves wholeheartedly.
After that
declaration, Durga flumps down onto the floor. You call out to her and
ask if she’s okay, so she says her head is spinning a little. She
remembers fighting you guys, but anything beyond that gets fuzzy. Leib
says it’s the same as everyone else who awakens. Durga then apologizes
for the trouble she caused.
Leib tells her
she doesn’t need to blame herself since it wasn’t on purpose. Jambavan
adds that they probably seemed like a foreign substance to her dream and
compares it to an allergic reaction. You agree and say the candy was
great.
Durga is touched and thanks
everyone. A rumbling starts, so Leib hopes this means things are done
now. Gunzou says he’s heard about this being the second dream world, so
he says it’s possible there’s a third.
Alp
senses a warp in the dream space and cries out. He says he smells a
really strong dream approaching fast, then tells everyone to grab onto
each other since the dream might tear you guys up. He’s shocked that the
dream and “some other” wall seem set to separate you guys.
Everyone
grabs the hand of whoever is closest to them, and Alp grabs onto yours.
Not a moment later a warp spasm storms in and scatters the party, and
the episode ends.
