[Several days after filming for the theme song to promote Atlantis]
Eichi: —Then they draw their swords, and the daring, gallant warriors fight fearlessly to protect Snow White.
Slashing and clashing with their blades, they fight like gods of war. Through the many battles they've experienced, they've perfected the art of combat, and each is an army on his own. Doesn't that sound cool?
And Snow White doesn't just sit back to be protected by them. She's a brilliant tactician as well. On the battlefield, she cries out,
"I'll leave you all looking like poisoned apples!"
I'll call it "Snow White and the Seven Warriors". Fairy tales have to be updated to keep up with the times too, don't they? What do you think?
Tori: Eichi-sama...
Yuzuru: Well... If I am to give my candid opinion, I ask that you refrain from discussing such violent and bloody stories in front of Bocchama.
You mentioned that you had thought of a good fairy tale to reference for one of the attractions within Atlantis, but...
Wataru: Eichi is comically terrible at creating original stories. I don't think you have any right to criticise the right hand man, you know?
Eichi: Huh? Is it that bad? That's weird... I think it's a pretty good fairy tale about using your own strength to survive.
Besides, it might seem violent and bloody for a fairy tale, but if you treat it as a story from mythology, it'll feel perfectly normal. There are lots of cruel and tragic myths from all over the world.
What's more, don't you think it's great that this story doesn't end on a deus ex machina? Everyone should be allowed to be strong now, regardless of age or gender.
Tori: Huh?! Wait a second! We had that heart-to-heart talk the other day, shouldn't you be fine with something like that now...?
Eichi: Ahaha, what a curious thing to say. You can't truly believe that I'd change so easily after all those years of being warped, right?
Tori: N-no way...
Yuzuru: Bocchama, I believe it best to give up here.
Yuzuru: It grieves me as well, but a rag that has been used for years upon years can never be restored to its original pristine white, no matter how much you try to wash it.
Eichi: Okay, I do think comparing me to a cleaning instrument is a little much, Yuzuru.
Tori: Yeah! Seriously, Yuzuru, how can you say that to Eichi-sama?!
Eichi: Fufu, I'll admit, it's not a bad feeling having a little knight protect me like this. I suppose that too is like something out of a fairy tale.
Tori: Mmngh~ Eichi-sama, I am still growing, okay? It might only be a little bit at a time, but...
Wataru: Oh? You're perfectly adorable as you are now — do you wish to grow taller, Himegimi?
Tori: Mm~mm. It's still fine for me to be cute right now, and cuteness suits me, but when I get older, no one's going to take me seriously if I'm just cute.
My dream is to be like Eichi-sama, so I need to be dignified too!
You're tall too, Hibiki-senpai. Do you have any tips on how to get taller?
Wataru: I certainly do! Let me teach you a method that will help you grow taller right away. First, you separate the top and bottom halves of your body. Like so ☆
Tori: Eek?! His bottom half split off?!
Wataru: Oh? Is this perhaps a shocking sight?
Tori: Yes?! Most people can't do that! They'll die!
Wataru: Look, I can move the top and bottom halves of my body separately too~ See? ♪
Tori: Eek! The top and bottom halves are wriggling independently of each other! Ew, gross!
Yuzuru: Hibiki-sama, please stop acting in a manner that scares Bocchama. You're going to cause him nightmares.
Wataru: Fufufu. Himegimi's surprise is always reflected in his entire body, so it makes me want to give my all to surprise him!
But I'd like to avoid any further scoldings from Butler-san, so I shall cease the pranks here. And, dock ☆
Tori: Urk, the lower half reattached itself. Your sleight of hand is way too realistic.
Eichi-sama~... Hibiki-senpai's very existence is like something out of a fairy tale...
Eichi: Fufu,you can never get tired of watching him, can you?
Tori: You won't get tired of it, but it's too much. I prefer things that are more cute and gentle.
Eichi: Yes, and I'd like for you to stay that way. I don't intend to tie you down anymore, but there's nothing wrong with me wishing for it, right?
You know, Tori. I still dislike those sweet, self-serving fairy tales.
Tori: Yeah... But if that's just how you are, then I'll accept it.
Eichi: I will say, though...
Eichi: I have by my side a courageous comrade who's able to make the bold claim, "I'll make this into a happy ending." So I'm looking forward to that, just a little... ♪
