[Music starts.] |
|
[Echoing voice:] "Suigintou's 'Koyoi mo Ennu~i' - Christmas Special". |
|
[Music changes.] |
|
Welcome back again. I'm Suigintou. |
|
Welcome back again. I'm Megu
Kakizaki. Since today is what they're calling a Christmas Special, we're broadcasting to you
now from a hot springs resort. |
|
Honestly. What the hell's with following me here on my day off? Staff, remember this! |
|
By the way, Suigintou? |
|
What? |
|
Because we've just gotten out of the hot spring, I tried on a yukata. What do you think? |
|
Hmm~? Oh, I see. |
|
What... do... you... think~? |
|
I... it looks nice on you, I guess? |
|
It does? I'm so glad. |
|
[Sigh.] |
|
Suigintou - aren't you going to put one on - a yukata? |
|
There's no way you'll get me into one of those. |
|
Then, how about a Santa suit? |
|
Huh~? A "Santa suit"~? |
|
Oh come on now, that outfit that Santa Claus wears. Don't you think that a "Santa-Girl Suigintou" would be moe? |
|
M... moe...? |
|
Yes. I think it'd go over pretty well. |
|
I... I can't imagine. A...
anyway, there's no way that I, a proud Rozen Maiden, would wear
something created by a person other than Father! |
|
But, I think it would definitely look nice on you. |
|
M... make that face all you want, but I said no and I mean no. I refuse - refuse! |
|
You do? That's too bad. [Chuckle.] |
|
H-hmph! H-hurry up and read a letter! |
|
Okaaay... This letter comes to us
from Medium Name "I'm Called 'Micchan' By Kana"-san. ... "Hello. I
always enjoy listening together with Kana. It's nearly Christmas, isn't
it? How are the two of you going to spend your Christmas ~kashira? Parenthesis, I've caught that '~kashira' speech mannerism from Kana. Eeek!" |
|
[Groan.] |
|
"Music note. Close parenthesis.
I'm arranging a photo-shoot party where I'll have Kana wear all sorts of
outfits. I'm including a few of the photos of her wearing the outfits,
okay? Isn't my Kana cute? I can't wait for what happens now. P.S.: I
plan to invite other dolls besides Kana. Tee-hee-hee! I'll be waiting ~kashira! Music note." ...is what she says, Suigintou. |
|
Whaaat are these photos supposed to be of? Kanaria? And, is this supposed to be Kanaria's Medium? |
|
So it seems. But, there's such a
huge quantity of them. She wrote that these are just "a few", but...
Ha! In this photo, she's wearing a Santa suit! |
|
Eh? Let me see that... Ahh, so
this is... Whaaat, that doesn't look good on her at all~! After all,
rather than by a little kid, this should be worn by more of a sexy,
"older sister" type of character, don't you think~? |
|
I agree. It would look better on you, Suigintou. I think you'd definitely look cute in it. |
|
... Megu. |
|
What? |
|
I swear I'm not putting it on. |
|
[Giggle.] |
|
But what's with her, so weakly
being forced to wear this and that sort of thing? Does this girl have
no sense of pride~? Honestly, she has no right to call herself a Rozen
Maiden! Kanaria, I'm going to take your Rosa Mystica from you~! [Laughter.] Rest assured~! |
|
Say, Suigintou? It's written here that you're invited to the photo-shoot party, but... |
|
There's no way that I'd attend such a thing! Honestly, it's so stupid. |
|
I agree. Really, it's so stupid. Because, you're going to spend Christmas with me. |
|
... Eh...? |
|
[Giggle.] I can hardly wait. |
|
[Nervous laughter.] |
|
[Laughter.] |
|
... [Weakly:] W-well then, next... |
|
This is from Medium Name "Delicious-Seeming Place Of Honor"-san. |
|
Thanks. |
|
"Gin-sama, Megu, Ennu~i Christmas." |
|
Ennu~i Christmas... |
|
"On the last 'Megu's "Happy Medical Exam Room"', the
astrological forecast corner was very fun. Please, by all means, continue this
corner. Megu is cool." |
|
On what the hell grounds do you call her cool? I totally can't understand it, though, that kind of fortune-telling. |
|
That fortune-telling? Ah, Suigintou, could it be that it didn't come true very well for you? |
|
Of course it didn't. You aren't going to tell me you plan to do it this time, too, are you? |
|
Well, Suigintou, to meet your expectations... |
|
[Gasp.] |
|
... I'll do it again this time, too. Look forward to it. |
|
FATHER!! [Crying.]
... Ahh... Well, next... This one comes to us from Medium Name "Lactic Acid
Bacteria Antibody"-san. Thanks. "Gin-sama, good evening. Lately it
seems that you haven't been standing up to Megu, but, is it all right
that Gin-sama - proud first doll of the Rozen Maidens - should be
treated in such an offhand manner by a mere human Medium? Please, here's where
you should tell her off." That's right! Megu! Don't you think you've
been getting a little bit full of yourself lately? You're my servant, so please
refrain a little more from causing me so much trouble! ... O-okay? Do you
understand? |
|
Oh? Suigintou? |
|
What? |
|
Is it all right for you to be saying that sort of thing to me? |
|
...? |
|
[Chuckle.] |
|
[Nervous breathing.] I retract my previous statement. ... Grr... Let's move on to the next! |
|
Medium Name Kazuppe-san. "Gin-chan, how do you do." |
|
"Gin-chan"?! ... How do you do... |
|
"In the two previous CDs so far, my beloved Hina-chan still
hasn't made an appearance. When will you call her into the studio as a
guest? I'm expecting next time for sure to be able to hear a talk
between Gin-chan and Hina-chan, and I'll be waiting with anticipation
for it to go on sale." |
|
Hinaichigo~?! If she were to come as a guest, I'd eat her instead of the strawberry on top of her shortcake~! [Laughter.] |
|
[Laughter.] Ahh... |
|
Right? |
|
Delicious. |
|
Delicious~! Seconds, please~! ... Next. This comes from
Medium Name Puniyo. "Gin-sama, is there anyone about whom you
think, 'I can't measure up to her~'? I think that I could never measure
up to you, Gin-sama." Let's see~. Lately I've been thinking... that
maybe I... couldn't measure up to Megu... [Shiver.] After all, that Megu... Megu, even though she's my Medium... SHE'S SO BLACK-HEARTED~! [Sobbing.] |
|
Ah, Suigintou? |
|
What... |
|
Did you just say something? |
|
[Plink.] |
|
[Breathing nervously.] I didn't say anything. [Sob.]
... Shall we move on to the next one?! ... This letter is from Medium
Name... Huh? ... "Hinaisago"? ...-san. What's this? Such sloppy
handwriting... But, what is this person thinking, sending in a picture
to a radio program? But, it's really not possible that- |
|
It's magnificent! What an avant-garde drawing! |
|
Eh? |
|
[Breathlessly:] This dynamic sketching, and this subtle yet bold use of color
resulting in such a unique contrast... Truly, it is a mixture of dreams
with reality... The emotion and inner feelings flowing at the artist's
roots are masterfully opened up with the power of the imagination! Yes, if I may speak figuratively, it is like a romantic
opera by Wagner! |
|
Ah... ah, huh... |
|
Say, don't you think so too, Suigintou? |
|
Eh?! Ah, don't I think so...? Now that you ask... |
|
In this picture, together with such human feelings as
unease,
trouble, and melancholy, I can yet feel a love of nature... That such a
picture as this could exist... it's existence itself is truly a wonder!
...
Even Friedrich, Runge, Goya, Delacroix, and William Blake would be
amazed! |
|
I... I'm amazed at you, Megu... |
|
It is truly a strange work. |
|
That, I can understand. |
|
Say, Suigintou, don't you think that you'd like to be able to speak with the artist who drew this? |
|
Not at all! |
|
You'd like to be able to speak with her, wouldn't you? |
|
Not in the slightest! |
|
I'd like... to hear what she has to say... |
|
"Silence..." |
|
[Click. Dialing.] |
|
Geez, you're so dishonest with your feelings... |
|
Hey, Megu! Don't just go and...! |
|
[Ringing.] |
