The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams

Bum ba-da dum, come along with me

Link your arms together, be a hundred times happier!

On our usual route to an unknown place

The sky, the sea, they're calling for me

Okey-dokey, hand in hand

Okey-dokey, clap along

Guess the answers to all your problems

Bingo, bingo, legs out

Bingo, bingo, move your feet

We'll take the Earth's hearts by storm, hey!

Bum ba-da dum, scrunched-up crying faces

Everybody come along, come along with me

Okey-dokey, hand in hand

Okey-dokey, clap along

Let all these happy feelings wash over you

Bingo, bingo, legs out

Bingo, bingo, move your feet

Make sure you get that heart a-pumping, hey!

Bum ba-da dum, no need to be scared

My lovely little friends are full of energy

Bum ba-da da, bum ba-da da,

Crayon March!

I've got you covered like escargot!

I hate to give you déjà vu, but there's a flower perfect for May's Hanafuda card in Ear Village!

Is that right? Let me give Princess Silver a call.

Huh? Ear Village?

Minister Black has heard there are some exemplary black pansies in or around the Village.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

Hear that? We're getting off at Ear Village!

Wait, shouldn't we start heading for the next Country?

If we don't find the rest of those Sacred Bonds soon...

P-Photographing the flowers for our Hanafuda deck is an important mission they entrusted me with!

Then what do you say the three of us continue on without him?

Listen to yourself! No matter how much he slows us down, there's no way we can leave Araessa behind!

Huh?

Araessa is our valued companion and friend.

Huh?!

As Princess, I cannot simply cast him aside!

W-W-W-Whoa!

May's Journey V

You're finally starting to come off like a Princess.

Of course I am! After all...

I wanna hurry up and become a ruler as amazing as Queen Buretsu already!

Perhaps her day is much closer than expected...

Anyways, what are we waiting for?

Heh, I give that can-do attitude a day at most.

Not even close. I'd say it'll only be four to five hours.

I disagree.

She got to meet Queen Buretsu face-to-face in one of her dreams.

We're talking about Silver here. It's certainly progress, however small.

They're performing up a storm.

Only natural the people of Ear Village would love music.

What's all this beckoning my ears?

We all love music 'round here—do, re, mi— we'll even sing and dance for free!

Everyday life is fine and dandy—do, re, mi— when you're performing jigs and harmonies!

So as long as there's song, here we'll be...

Filled with energy!

Woo!

C-Could you please speak normally?

Well, they might know where the black pansies are.

Hi there...

Um, do you have any idea where we might find Venus' Music Box?

V-Venus' Music Box...?

What in the world is that?

Minister Black mentioned it on the phone earlier.

Its tones are said to make anyone who hears them pretty! Chances are it'd be in this Village!

Is that why we came here?

Back to the Bad Habit of Greed, huh?

N-No way! Our number one goal here is finding one of those black pansies.

It'd just make for a nice little bonus if we found it while we're here.

Ever heard of killing two birds with one stone?

Ah, I like the way you think, Princess. Nice to see you've developed a sense of priorities.

Y-Y-Yeah, totally!

So, any idea where this Venus' Music Box is?

Why do you children a-a-always disobey?

They've a-a-all swam too far astray!

If you're so out of breath, shouldn't you stop singing?

Watch your mouth, missy!

Did ya see which way my schoolchildren went upriver?

By "schoolchildren", does she mean a school of tadpoles?

Don't ask me.

Oh dear...

Where'd they sla-la-la-slip off away?

Seriously, don't force yourself to sing!

Mind your own business.

What's her problem?

How about we have a look around? Maybe we'll find Venus' Music Box!

Who cares about some music box? We need a black pansy!

Yes, you wait right there, Silver! I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve to show you!

What is he on about? There are no black pansies out here!

Just red and yellow ones for as far as the eye can see!

Maaaaaaan, I give up.

I'll make the Vegetables find it for us!

That's more like it...

She can't even last a whole day before going back to her old self.

No, I'd say the Princess' calling for help is justified.

It'll be faster with a few more pairs of eyes.

Really?

What do you want? I really can't be bothered right now.

We're trying to find a black pansy to photograph for the Hanafuda deck!

My feet are blistered all over! It hurts too much to walk...

I'm much more suited to appear on a Hanafuda card! How about you take my pic—

I don't wanna hear it! You three better get looking!

...school of tadpoles is tough

Huh?

For our uniforms, we thought black was a must

But the tailors couldn’t make any pants for us

(No pants for us!)

We all fit different, so they caused a fuss

(A fuss!)

"One leg!"

(One leg!)

"Two legs!"

(Two legs!)

"Three legs!"

(Three legs!)

"Four legs!"

(Four legs!)

"No way, five legs?!"

"Out of my store, freaks!"

That was a funny song!

Hey, are they the school of tadpoles that the frog teacher was looking for?

Oh yeah!

S-Shoot!

Not good!

Let's scram!

Hey, wait! Why are you running away from her?

She didn't send you to bring us back?

Huh?

We're actually on the run from Mrs. Frog.

You see, there's a chorus competition tonight, and we were planning on entering...

But the teacher is, like, way too harsh on us!

If we sing even slightly off-key or miss a fraction of a beat, she gets super angry with us!

Right...

I definitely wouldn't want to get on her bad side.

I get way too scared to sing when she's the lead.

So as much as we all want to enter the competition...

At least you were having fun singing a minute ago. You guys were awesome!

I know!

Miss, would you mind being our lead?

I absolutely love that idea!

Well, I...

In that case, I can be your lead vocalist!

Nobody asked you to do a darn thing!

Please, lend us a hand!

We're begging you!

That depends... Will you make it worth my while?

Sure will!

You mean it?

You can have Venus' Music Box!

Venus' Music Box? Seriously?!

I'm in! I'll conduct you!

Woo-hoo!

So much for putting that pansy first!

All for a dumb trinket...

No.

Serving as their conductor may well teach her what it takes to bring people together.

We'll find that black pansy ourselves.

You might be expecting a bit much from her.

Cabbetta!

You're only a backing vocalist! We don't need you to raise your voice!

And Renkopocchi, seriously? No lip-syncing!

But man, this song is boring. Can't we sing some nice enka or something?

Quit your complaining!

You Vegetables are causing me so much trouble...

Huh?

Rain...

Nowhere to be found...

We should find somewhere to take shelter.

Let's go meet back up with the Princess first.

It's raining cats and dogs!

This is crazy.

And it shows no signs of letting up.

Don't you love the sound of the trickling rain?

Princess Silver!

The rain's gotten pretty bad.

We're never gonna find anything in this storm!

I'd say we have no choice but to wait this one out.

How about we go buy an umbrella instead?

KEEP DREAMING!

Get a grip on that Bad Habit of Greed!

No...

The Princess is suggesting we get an umbrella in order to keep everybody out of the rain.

It's the least we can do for her.

Exactly! I want to get a nice cute one, too!

We'll catch up with you tadpoles later!

Okay! See ya around!

Maybe I can put all this rain to good use...

Whoa!

This tambourine has a cool mark on the side!

Maybe I'll take it for the road...

We're here to buy an umbrella, remember?!

See, since Cabbetta and the others joined the chorus, I was thinking we could help provide accompaniment.

I bet that harmonica would sound nice!

You're buying even more?!

Let's not go overboard.

Yeah, so what? I'm only buying them for you!

I'll have you know the best instrument is one's voice!

Ugh...

Like I said, this all comes down to her Bad Habit of Greed.

N-No, not quite. The Princess is merely attempting to help the tadpoles with—

We've got a problem!

A probleeeem!

A probleeeeeeem!

What's the matter?

There's a flood!

No time to stand around singing! This is a real emergency!

Just you wait, Silver! It's high time you had a true taste of my power!

I'll wash Ear Village away, your crown along with it!

Hey! G-G-Gaaaah!

In a moment's time...

Our rhythm and rhyme...

Will be swept up in brine!

So rebound...

To higher ground!

Take shelter before water comes 'round!

Quit dancing around the issue!

Well, you won't let us sing, so at least let us dance!

Amateurs! I can sing and dance!

I'm a star, after all!

Cabbetta, save your competitiveness for later!

In any case, we need to get to shelter!

Right!

How do you expect me to run in that storm?

That should be the least of your concerns!

Princess Silver is right. We need to move!

And here I am, lugging a bass drum.

Can't we ditch the instruments?

No way! Not after all the money I splurged!

Hurry it up, you guys!

This weighs a ton!

Why do I have to carry an accordion?

Here it comes!

Eek! Save me!

I don't wanna be swept away!

We're done for!

Oh no!

Phew, I'm saved!

Wait! What about Renkopocchi and Gomaata?!

Over heeeere!

We really lucked out there.

I thought I was a goner...

It's a good thing I bought all those instruments! My Bad Habit of Greed ended up serving the greater good.

I never thought I'd owe a Bad Habit my life.

And thank God we were next to this house.

We're safe for now, but the water is still rising. This only buys us some time.

Huh?

Do, re, mi—what's Mrs. Frog see?

Tell me, where has my school of tadpoles gone?!

Someone told me they saw you with my tadpoles earlier!

We went our separate ways when it started raining.

Really, now?

Gee, those little brats have some nerve, sneaking off right before their chorus competition...

SNAP

Are you serious, lady? We're in the middle of a flood and all you care about is your competition?!

Under this heavy rain, the competition is going to get postponed anyway.

Come hell or high water, the competition has not once been postponed. And that is not going to change.

Besides...

If the dam is holding all this water back, it's only going to keep on rising.

Hey, what do you say we check on the dam to see if something's holding the water back?

Good thinking, Princess Silver! You sure have a soft spot for this Village.

Well, if the water goes back down, we can go find those tadpoles!

And the sooner we find them, the sooner they can get back to practising!

I'm gonna make sure they win that competition!

Venus' Music Box is as good as mine!

What?!

Hey...

I'll have soon washed Silver and all her friends away!

Better to be safe than sorry. I'll stick around a bit longer.

That's...

The God of Death!

So he's what's keeping all the water at the dam!

I won't stand for this!

Wh... Silver?! You're still alive?

Blank face, sleepy face, friendly face— nothing beats a happy face!

Black!

W-Why is my body moving on its own?

No! No! No no no no no!

N-Noooooooooooo!

NO!

C-Can't stop...

Princess Silver, use your Happy Dance!

Oh yeah! That'll get the God of Death moving!

Happy Dance!

Cue the music!

Touch your head!

GAH! She got me!

There we go!

That was a brilliant move, Princess! I'm impressed!

Aw, I knew it! Princess Silver is finally starting to grow up a little!

Have you found your school of tadpoles?

No, not yet.

We already looked all over and couldn't find a trace.

I'm tired from all that searching.

Your tadpoles could very well have become frogs by now.

Where in the world have they gone off to?

Maybe if you weren't so harsh on them to begin with, they never would have run away!

It's the kids!

Huh?

I can hear the kids' lovely singing voices!

I don't hear a thing.

Wrong!

I'd know the sound of their voices anywhere!

You! Wait up!

Life as a school of tadpoles is tough

For our uniforms, we thought black was a must

But the tailors couldn't make any pants for us

We all fit different, so they caused a fuss

We've been singing as loud as we can, but they still haven't found us!

"One leg!"

We might spend the rest of our lives down here...

"Two legs!"

"Three legs!"

That'd be awful!

"Four legs!"

This song...

I think it's coming from the bottom of the well!

...five legs?!"

"Out of my store, freaks!"

They must have been washed down here when all that water came through.

They're down pretty deep...

How can we get them out of there?

We can use buckets to lift them out. I'll go grab some.

I'll be right down, class!

Look! It's Mrs. Frog!

Class!

Mrs. Frog!

I'm so glad I found you!

You came to save us?

Naturally! Your beautiful singing voices brought me all the way to you.

Mrs. Frog!

It's so nice to see you're all safe!

She isn't such a bad teacher after all!

Maybe she's only trying to teach them a lesson, kind of like we're doing with you.

Right on.

Life as a school of tadpoles is tough

For our uniforms, we thought black was a must

But the tailors couldn't make any pants for us

(No pants for us!)

We all fit different, so they caused a fuss

(A fuss!)

"One leg!"

(One leg!)

"Two legs!"

(Two legs!)

"Three legs!"

(Three legs!)

"Four legs!"

(Four legs!)

"No way, five legs?!"

"Out of my store, freaks!"

We would never have won first place without your help. I don't know how to thank you.

Have the certificate and the plaque. You deserve it.

That's cool and all, but what about Venus' Music Box?

We won't have that 'til we win at Nationals.

Nationals...?

That's what today's training was for!

Nationals are still a month away.

Huh?!

That's too bad.

Can we look for my black pansy now?

Black pansies?

If it's those you're after, we can hook you up no problem!

I don't care about the black pansies! It's Venus' Music Box I'm after!

I'm gonna go to Nationals! Even if I have to stay 'til next month!

I see how it is. We ought to be harder on you, too. Maybe even ramp it up a hundredfold!

There we go! That's May's Hanafuda card dealt with.

I kind of feel like all my good will got crushed.

I'd say the same to you!

Curse you, Silver!

The next time we meet, I'll have become more powerful than ever!

The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams

After crossing the June Bridge, we arrive at Rose-Scented Village.

It's famous as a honeymoon spot and for its nursing homes!

Crazy, right?

But Araessa's foster parent Mrs. Tiger is here, too.

But wait! The God of Death has kidnapped her! We've got no time to fool around!

The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams: June's Journey I!

June's Journey I

It's a brainstorm!

This flower, and that flower, too

flourish in beautiful colour

This person, and that person, too

are one and the same,

so gentle at heart

Oh, under this shining sky

Life is drowned in emotion

In the hands of Gods

In the lands of Gods

All is for one

and one is for all

Oh, on these glittering grounds

Life sprouts into being

From the blood of Gods

Comes our blood of Gods

All is for one

and one is for all
