Fifth Night

The Dream Opens, Paradise in Heaven

Just hang in there a little longer.

I'm sure we'll find ourselves a wider path soon.

Do you really think we'll get out all right?

That scenery we saw didn't look a thing like Roshtaria.

Don't worry. I'm positive that we're in the valley to the east of Mt. Lilicoco.

A moment ago, you said we were in the valley to the west.

I did?

Oh, nuts... I think we really are lost.

Okay!

Let's go and climb that mountain! That's gotta be the way!

What, do we have to climb again?

Darling?! Tell me, what's happening?!

Th... This happens a lot when mountain climbing!!

This is no time for idle talk!

That's right! I'm not the priestess of water anymore!

Whatever shall we do, darling?!

I'm sorry, I haven't got any suggestions!!

Darling!! Ms. Miz!!

Ms. Miz!

Darling!!!

Miz!!

Miz!! Miz, you...

You have to let go of me!!

Don't ask me to do that!

I could never do that!

No!! At this rate, both of us will fall to the valley floor!!!

I won't!!

Ms. Miz!

I'm...

I'm your wife! Wherever you go, I follow!

M... Miz!

Oh, Miz! So that's where you've been!

I was looking all over for you.

A... Afura!!

Afura Mann, am I glad to see you!!

That was a big shock though, wasn't it? I was taken by surprise!

Do you have any idea as to what happened to us?

By the way, what are the two of you doing?

Can't you tell what we're doing?! Help us, quickly!!!

Oh...

Don't say "oh..."!

Why don't you just let go of him?

Wh... What did you say?!

Have a heart!

If I become a widow in the next few minutes, I'll blame you!!

Ms. Miz! I don't wanna hear that!

Sweetie!!!

H... Huh?

What? I never!

Dear, why in the world didn't you look below you?!

Why didn't you?!

You two really do get along together, don't you?

Are you serious?!

Yes. There really was something strange floating there in the air.

Still, that might have been a part of Mt. Lilicoco...

Honestly, dear! Are you still clinging to the idea that this is Mt. Lilicoco?!

Well, I say we go find out!

Oh, my goodness!

How can this be?

What did you find, Afura?

Well... I don't know how to tell you this...

We're just in some ordinary mountains, right?

The idea of this place floating in the sky is totally absurd.

Absurd as it may be, this place does indeed appear to be floating on air.

What?!

Oh, this is so exhilarating!

You've got that right! I love the wind in my face!!

That's all good and fine,

but I'm putting you both down the moment we're done surveying the land.

I'm well over my maximum capacity!

Actually...

A sea of clouds!

Yup, I love the mountains!

I keep telling you! We're not in the mountains!

At this rate, we can't tell if there are mountains or not...

Suddenly, I can't see anything...

Hey! Where do you think you're touching me?!

W-W-What?!

Sweetie! How could you?!

Y-You're mistaken!! It's some sort of misunderstanding!

Just stop it, please!!

Darling, aren't I enough for you?! I can't believe this!!

B-B-But, Ms. Miz!!

Hey! Stop moving around! We'll fall!!

Told you!

Another full day's work is done...

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

See, I told you so...

Ooh, this is all your fault.

But it was a misunderstanding, I tell you!

Uh... Excuse me?

I really can't have you digging such a big hole in my field...

Huh?! Huh?!

What?! You mean you three fell from the sky?

Well... Yes, actually...

Could you please tell us where we are?

This is my land.

Pardon?

And that over there...

...is my home.

Visitors are always welcome here.

Oh.

Hey, we've got company!

Coming!

Where have I heard that voice before?

Please, come in!

I-It...

...can't be!!

Oh, what a wonderful surprise to see all of you here!

Princess Rune?

Blast it! What is wrong with this stupid contraption?!

I'm sure I saw a face appear in it before...

I am the ruler of the entire universe.

W... What?

You say you are the ruler of the entire universe?

Come on out, old man!

This is irresponsible, dammit!

You say you're the ruler of the entire universe?!

I already know that! That's why I'm looking it over like this...

Hello?

Argh! I can't believe he would ignore the summons of the great Jinnai!!

I am the ruler of the entire universe.

Ooh! I've been waiting for this!

I know who you are, Katsuhiko Jinnai.

You are the ruler of El-Hazard.

Yes! You could not be more right!!

I will... make you... into the ruler of the entire universe.

I knew it. You did appear to make me...

...into the ruler of the entire universe.

This is just what I needed...

Well!

I suppose I should try it again.

Darn. It's not going to work.

Argh! Die! Bastards!!

How dare you stick me in here, you jerks!!

Argh!

What is the Princess Rune doing in this house?

Never mind that, what's a princess doing in the kitchen?!

Not only that, she looks awfully happy...

Whatever's going on, I think we should just observe for the time being.

I'm home!

I was out fetching some eggs from the neighbor's.

All right, let's use them to whip up a real feast!

I'm looking forward to that!

By the way, have you ever tried Princess Rune's cooking?

Of course I haven't!

But, I'd sure like to try the princess's home cooking!

What?! Are you saying you are dissatisfied with my cooking?!

I... I didn't mean that!!

By the way, does the p...

I mean, does she normally prepare the food?

Yes! She cooks practically every day.

Really?!

I just thought I should ask...

...what is the princess doing living in this house?

Princess?

That lady over there.

Oh, you mean Rune?

Actually...

Ahh, another full day's work done!

Someone's there!

What a beautiful lady!

Excuse me, young lady? Young lady!

She's still alive!

She smells so nice...

What are you doing to me?!

Please, stop it!!

Oh... Oh, look out! Don't! We'll fall!

Can it be...

...that you just rescued me?

Oh, please... That makes me sound like a great hero.

I was merely-!

Oh, no! What am I to do?

I should never have acted so violently!

M... Might I ask? M... Might I ask?

P-Please do! P-Please do!

Huh?

What do you make of this?

Ugh... I don't really know...

...but that sounds like a scene out of a movie.

Indeed.

Well, in any event...

...that's the reason why Rune is staying at my place now.

I live by myself, so having her around is a great help.

Staying at your place now? Do you mean that you are living together?

Well... something like that.

And we have the shocking truth!

A princess and a farmer!

It's a scandal!

Ouch!

What's wrong?!

Oh, I just cut my finger...

Setting that aside, let's just see how it goes for the time being...

Huh?

Yeesh! What are they peeping at?!

Oh, sweetie! I cut my finger, too!

Hey, are you okay?

There! All done!

Ooh... Sweetie, you...

...dummy, dummy, dummy, dummy!

Why won't you ever treat me like a princess?!

What do you mean??

At this rate, we'll make a mess of ourselves...

...before straightening up anything else!

The tea is ready!

Thanks! I'll be right there!

FUJISAWA: FULL POWER!!!

Keep up the good work, dear!

It's a great help to have you assisting me in the fields!

That's quite all right! He's very durable...

...so give him as much work as you like!

Are you talking about me?

Oh? When did you get back here?

Look at what I found in the field.

It's... It's... It's a worm!!!

Oh... That's a nice, big worm.

What?! You like worms?!

Bugs and microorganisms like worms provide the soil with nutrients.

Exactly.

The tinier living things give living power to the soil.

If the land is so barren that bugs can't live on it...

...that means that the soil is dead.

No vegetables can be grown in such a spot.

We receive but a small share of nature's power...

...and use it to grow vegetables.

Rich soil, clean water, pure air, and the bounty of the sun...

I am thankful to all of nature.

Thankful to all of nature... What a wonderful sentiment...

Hey... What is that?!

There's no doubt about it. That is a cruiser!

Oh, do you think so?

Well, it's not like a cruiser is anything out of the ordinary...

Honestly... What is wrong with the both of you?!

You're acting almost like you belong here!

I don't plan on staying here any longer than I-

Here!

Look at the size of this yam!

Ooh! I bet it tastes delicious!

Fine, be that way! Just leave me out of it!

This has turned out to be a wonderful honeymoon, sweetie.

Now I'm sure that Qawool sent us here with our best interests in mind.

Gorgeous...

Yes, it really is a gorgeous sunset...

Uh, that's not what I meant...

What?

Actually... I was talking about you.

I would like you to stay on living in my home.

Thank you...

No one has ever said anything like that to me before.

You mean?!

But... I have important duties waiting for me.

Isn't there any way you can perform those duties from here?

Wh... What the?!

Rune!

Please, get indoors!

That's the same ship! Where did it come from?!

Is it an enemy?

Enemy?! What do you mean?

There are no such things as enemies here!

Creteria Colony #38, midair farming section, third district...

We will now commence your tax collection.

Sweetie, what is happening?

I'd say they want their land taxes.

It sure looks that way.

Get to it.

Aw, that's the yield that we just worked so hard to grow...

They're leaving nothing behind! It's too unfair!

And I've never seen soldiers like this before...

This sort of ruthless levying is unforgivable!

You mustn't do this!

You mustn't take it all away!

Rune!!

Your Highness!!

It looks like this is the reality behind the paradise.

Do you remember... oboeteru

... the anniversary that God gave us? kamisama ga kureta kinenbi

I'll say it softly. kossori icchau ne

From that moment on, I had made up my mind. ano shunkan kara watashi kimeteitan da yo

There were too many things that needed more than my love... suki dake ja dame na koto oosugita kedo

...but a hurricane of happiness came and blew them all away. shiawase no harikeen zenbu fukitobashita

Always, with nothing on my face... itsudemo sugao no mama

...my feet in line with yours. ashi wo soroete

Let's follow the patches of sunlight... hidamari to issho ni

... wherever they go. ikou ne

I'll give you all of the thank-yous I have... arittake no arigatou

...and I always will, soshite kore kara mo

forevermore. itsumade mo

Also, she's been having an awful lot of secret discussions with the emperor!

Next on El-Hazard: The Alternative World!
