Episode 2: Dream Hunter

Rem: This is the place. Alpha, Beta! Surround the area with a barrier, onegai!

Alpha: Nyan!

Beta: Wan!

Rem: There's a victim! Please, wake up! Don't fall asleep here!

Boy: Guu~...*mumbling*

Rem: No matter how much I shake, he won't wake up...? ...Now I understand.

Rem: It's time for the 'Wake up no matter what Alarm Watch.'

Rem: Now, please wake up!

[Alarm goes off]

Boy: Nnn...aa? Aaah???

Rem: How do you feel after waking up on the road?

Boy: Eh? I fell asleep here!?

Rem: That's right. You didn't realize you feel sleepy?

Boy: No, I really didn't feel sleepy at all though... Why did I fall asleep?

Rem: Did you happen to have a bad dream?

Boy: Hmmm, I don't know since I was asleep.

Rem: I see...

[Some time passes]

Girl: Thank you very much. ...But why was I sleeping like that? That is really weird, isn't it?

Rem: It really is. Have a safe trip.

Girl: Right.

[Girl leaves]

Rem: At this area there were 5 people. Including yesterday and the day before, that's a total of 13 people. This is definitely abnormal.

Rem: Found asleep on the road, unable to wake them. The outbreak of this phenomenon has increased the number of victims, this is part of a much bigger incident.

Rem: What happened here isn't the doing of those dream demons, is what I want to say...

Alpha: Nyaan!!

Rem: What is it, Alpha? Did you find more sleeping people?

Alpha: Nyanyanyanyanya!

Rem: Eh! Dream demons are kidnapping sleeping people? I get it, lead the way!

[Location change]

Beta: Wanwanwan!!

Dream Demon: ...!!

Rem: Beta!

[CG Scene: Rem appears with her gun in hand]

Rem: The time has come, to depend on this magnum and silver ammunition.

Rem: Using this...I will stop those dream demons...!

Rem: Without fail, bring them down...Rem!

[Battle Map]

Rem: Here I go! Prepare yourselves!

[After defeating a dream demon]

Rem: As expected it be this troublesome...!

[The TVs in the nearby shop start to shine with light]

Rem: Uu, what?

[Meru, Noel, Claude and Tsubasa appear]

Noel: Uwah!? It's dark!

Meru: Hawawawa~ This is Noel's fault that we went to hell!

Claude: ...No, isn't it just because it's nighttime?

Tsubasa: Read the mood! Something is going on here!

[More dream demons appear]

Meru: More appeared! But with all of them together, they have nice figures~!

Noel: Well, I've had a nice figure for a while...Now what?

Rem: You there! Did you summon those dream demons?

Tsubasa: These are dream demons? This is my first time seeing them!

Rem: Those dream demons attack people! Run away!

Tsubasa: After hearing they attack people, there is no way I will run. ...Instead I will lend you a hand.

Noel: As expected!

Meru: We will also fight!

Claude: Um...let's just run~.

Noel: If we run, the number of victims will increase, you okay with that? You really okay with that??

Claude: Uuuuu, (Even though I want to run I can't run away, even though I want to run I can't run away, even though I want to...)

Rem: I'll do my best to back you up! Somehow do your best!

Tsubasa: Understood! Demon, this sentinel's blade...prepare to receive it!

Noel: Waa~! So cool~! Alright! Watch me do it too!

Noel: All the world's evil will be... Uh, how did that go again?

Claude: (Ara..., that ghost thing...is it even able to understand?)

[Battle Continues, after defeating a few dream demons. Black Tifa appears]

???(Black Tifa): ...

Rem: Nn? You are?

???(Black Tifa: Ne, won't you become my sacrifice...? This is my first time performing...a sacrifice...

Rem: You shouldn't be saying such frightening words!

Tsubasa: Is that also a dream demon?

Rem: No, doesn't look like it...but those ears, could it be a dark elf?

Noel: Who? Dark elf? An enemy? A friend?

Rem: I don't know. But I don't want to be a sacrifice!

[Battle continues, after defeating Black Tifa]

???(Black Tifa): You'll...regret this...

[Black Tifa leaves]

Tsubasa: What did she mean by that...?

Rem: I really don't know. I wouldn't want to get into another fight with her though.

Meru: Who was that? Didn't seem to be human...right?

Rem: Well, there's no way to find out.

[Once all the enemies are defeated]

Meru: Fuu~, that was tiring~~!

Rem: Ara, that is...?

[Sonico appears]

Noel: Uuhya, it's just one thing after another!

???(Sonico): Um...Sorry to bother you~~!

Meru: Hawawawa, it's a talking enemy!

Rem: That's a talking human.

???(Sonico): I'm apologize if you are busy!

Claude: Well, that's a pretty powerful bow though...?

Rem: Yes! What is it?

???(Sonico): Haa haa... Um, is this the way to the photo shoot location?

Rem: Eh? A photo shoot...I don't think it's around here?

???(Sonico): Ah...! Sorry to bother you!

Rem: ???

???(Sonico): Could I have...gotten lost? But, I will do my best to find it...!

???(Sonico): Uuuu~! TORYA!

[Sonico leaves]

Rem: Was she an acquaintance of yours?

Tsubasa: Claude, she acts like you a bit, though she has a completely different feel though?

Claude: I don't think she's an acquaintance of mine... But, what's a photo shoot?

Rem: She isn't? Well, for the time being let's take a break.

[Battle End. Return to Visual Novel]

Noel: Man, Meru's sense like always is really bad.

Meru: No it's not, what's cute is cute!

Meru: Ah, that's right! Um, um, thank you very much for saving us!

Rem: No, the same here, you really helped me too. I didn't have a lot of time left.

[Police car siren]

Rem: Seems like with all the noise, the police are on the move now. That's a relief.

Tsubasa: Police?

Rem: Yes, I'm Rem Ayanokoji. A private investigator specializing in strange incidences. I'm acquainted with the police.

Meru: You mean like exterminating those ghost like things?

Rem: That's right. Those are dream demons, they come from the demon world, and those demons attack people.

Rem: Originally, they usually enter dreams, but there are some that can physically appear.

Tsubasa: Even though you said private investigator, you're more like a demon hunter.

Rem: Well, let's just say that publicly I'm a private investigator. And, what about all of you? You all suddenly appeared out of nowhere though?

Meru: Um...

[The group explains]

Rem: You all came from another world...?

Meru: Um, well, that is...h-hard to believe but that is to say...!

Rem: Fufu~! You weren't this nervous when fighting the dream demons. So cute!

Noel: Meru is pretty shy around others. Geez, so different from whenever she's talking to me...

Rem: Relax relax. I don't look scary right?

Meru: Y-yes~... I'm sorry...

Rem: Well, what kind of world did you come from?

Tsubasa: You believe us?

Rem: I'm not boasting, but I won't lose in terms of strange experiences.

Rem: And besides, you don't look like the type to lie.

Meru: Hawawa...thank you...

Tsubasa: That reminds me, didn't you act differently when we met?

Meru: The Tsubasa-san back then was more surprised than she is now. Yes.

Rem: You're close enough to fight together, it shouldn't be a hard to understand relationship right?

Meru: Uuu~, I'm just glad that Tsubasa-san and Rem-san are nice people...!

Tsubasa: Even though you said that you had a lot of experience with this sort of thing. But don't you find meeting people who suddenly appear from another world unusual?

Rem: Well starting now I should investigate that. However recently I've been busy with the 'Outbreak of People Sleeping on the Road Phenomenon' case.

Tsubasa: The 'Outbreak of People Sleeping on the Road Phenomenon' is?

Rem: It is where people who are walking suddenly fall asleep, and they will not wake up. The cause is still unknown.

Rem: That's why I was here, and then those dream demons and you all suddenly appeared.

Meru: All kinds of mysteries huh?

Rem: Seems like it.

Rem: Ah! Oh no! All those sleeping people, I'm the only one who can wake them up!

Rem: Sorry! I have to hurry to the police station, I have to wake those people up!

Rem: Here's my card. It has my office address written on there, feel free to visit!

Noel: Eh~? Ah~...wait!

Rem: Well, see you again!

[Rem leaves]

Meru: Auuuuuuu~~, she left.

[Sonico's voice can be heard]

???(Sonico): Uuu... Where could the photo shoot location be?

Noel: Honyaa? That voice just now?

Meru: It's that headphone person from before!

Noel: She must still be looking. She looks so helpless. Alright! Why don't we help her out!

Meru: W-Wait a second! We're not heading in that direction!

Noel: Mou~, saving people in trouble is what sensei said we should do! And since long ago, has been helping people.

Meru: How are we going to be able to help a person find something when even we don't know which way is which.

Noel: We won't know until we try!

Meru: Mou, you're always so forceful... As long as you can.

Noel: Ok! Ok! Leave it to me! My Magical Magic will settle the matter in one strike!

Meru: There's no way I can leave it to you! The problems will increase because Noel is always acting like this~~!

Tsubasa: Now, now, don't get mad. I feel the same as Noel and agree with her.

Meru: Eh...?

Tsubasa: As a sentinel, I cannot leave people when they need help.

Noel: Hora hora~! Ehhen! Those dream demons from before, it's possible they can still appear again.

Meru: But...

Tsubasa: Let's go with this.

Tsubasa: Noel and I will go and help that girl find what she's looking for. While you head over to the Ayanokoji Detective Office. How's that?

Meru: ...

Tsubasa: Even if anything happens we can still contact each other. So please relax.

Meru: Uunyuu... If Tsubasa-san says so...yes.

Claude: Um, what about me...?

Noel: Huaa!? That's right! You were here too!

Meru: You don't have much presence. If you don't voice your own opinions, you'll be forgotten.

Tsubasa: Don't ask others, you should decide for yourself. No one will take away that right of yours.

Claude: That's right... Now to go after that girl, or to head over to the Ayanokoji Detective Office...What to do?

Route Choice

Find the girl with Noel and Tsubasa

Tsubasa: Okay, understood. I feel worried about leaving Meru alone though.

Meru: Don't worry! Magical Yo-Yo is a martial arts with roots in assassination techniques. It'll be fine since it's just a walk.

Noel: That's right. As long as we have our techniques, it won't be a problem.

Meru: Noel, you have a habit of running off ahead, so don't cause Tsubasa-san any trouble!

Claude: Haha...Meru-san is almost like Noel-san's mother.

Meru: That's wrong!

Noel: That's really wrong!

[Go to ... to continue]

Head over to the Ayanokoji Detective Office with Meru

Meru: Eh~, you're going with me?

Claude: (Uwah... Feels like I just put my foot in my mouth... Then!)

Claude: I-I'm a guy too. I-I-I-I'll protect Meru-san!

Noel: Well, this balances out the groups. Isn't that good enough?

Noel: With Claude-kun with you, he can be counted on for healing.

Tsubasa: That's right. Meru, we'll leave Claude to you.

Meru: I'm not really interested, but I understand.

Claude: (Uuuu~...Aren't I being treated pretty horribly?...)

Claude: (Don't be defeated, don't be defeated, don't be defeated, don't be defeated.)

Claude: ...hmm, huh? There's no one here!? Don't leave me behind~~!
