Previous Main Story Next
Police“There’s no escape, Oswald! You’re surrounded! Give up and turn yourself in!”
Oswald“Hmph. Like hell I’ll get caught.”
Police“Wha—a hot air balloon!?”
“Chase him! Don’t let him go!”
Oswald“Geez. Guess I’ll have to go into hiding for a while.”
“Hm? What’s that—.”
“A tornado!?”
“Kuh—.”
Izumi(Oswald, about to get caught for serial fraud, escapes in a hot air balloon and arrives in the wonderful land of Oz...)
Rick“Who are you, sir?”
Oswald“My name is Oswa—Oz.”
Rick“Sir Oz... The great wizard Oz!”
Oswald“Wizard?”
Rick“You were using magic to fly through the air just moments ago!”
Oswald“Oh, that’s—.”
“...No, wait. I can go along with this.”
Izumi(His exchanges with Rick have really improved. He’s making perfect eye contact.)
Oswald“I am the Great Wizard Oz.”
Rick“Sir Oz, please save this country!”
“Wicked wizards control the territories to the east and west; they might attack this peaceful city at any moment.”
“Please defeat these evil wizards!”
Izumi(Oswald makes the citizens build a city for him; he then says he’ll cast a spell to turn it into emerald...)
Oswald“Now put on those glasses and open your eyes.”
Rick“The city is green—!?”
Oswald“Indeed. I have transformed it into emerald with magic. From here on out, this city shall be known as the Emerald City.”
Citizen A“The Emerald City...!”
Rick“Incredible, Sir Oz!”
Citizen B“Cheers for Sir Oz! Cheers for the Emerald City!”
Oswald“They’ll even be fooled by such a simple trick...”
Izumi(Oswald makes everyone wear glasses and successfully fools them into thinking his trickery is magic. He begins living a life of leisure.)
Oswald“Man, this is heaven. The cops are probably still after me, so I guess I’ll stay here until things calm down.”
Rick“Sir Oz, can we please—.”
Oswald“...Please? What? Oh, that’s right. You said you wanted me to defeat the wicked wizard.”
“My stomach isn’t doing well today.”
Rick“Sir Oz, how about today?”
Oswald“My head isn’t doing well today.”
Rick“Sir Oz, today—.”
Oswald“My glasses seem to be doing poorly today.”
Rick“Please, Sir Oz, let us go today!”
Oswald“Sigh... I guess I have no choice. Then please prepare, this, that, and so forth, for my journey.”
Rick“Yes, sir!”
Izumi(Oswald finally gets off his backside and departs on a journey to defeat the wicked wizards...)
(He plans on escaping during the journey, but Rick says he wants to become his apprentice, and follows him...)
(Hoping to buy some time, Oswald goes to meet the good wizards first...)
Oswald“Wizard of the North. I am the Great Wizard Oz.”
Wizard of the North“Oz? Are you a new wizard? Greetings.”
Oswald“My citizens asked me to depart on a journey to defeat the wizards of the east and the west. I would like to ask you for your help.”
Wizard of the North“My, how brave of you. I will do the little I can to assist you. Lend me your hand.”
“I give the Wizard of Oz the blessings of the Wizard of the North.”
“Now nobody can hurt you.”
Oswald“Nobody?”
Wizard of the North“Yes. However, it will have no effect against wizards more powerful than I. That is to say, it will have no effect on the wizards of the east and the west.
Oswald“Useless...”
Wizard of the North“Did you say something?”
Oswald“No, nothing at all. Excuse me then.”
Izumi(His scene with Citron-kun is also completely different from before: their exchanges and pauses are in sync.)
(Citron-kun has also really improved at saying his lines. He’s just as good as Chikage-san.)
Oswald“Wizard of the South. I am the Great Wizard of Oz.”
Wizard of the South“You have business with me?”
Oswald“I’m on a journey to defeat the wizards of the east and the west. I’d like to ask you for your help.”
Wizard of the South“It’s got nothing to do with me.”
Oswald“These evil beings might hurt you one day if you leave them like this.”
Wizard of the South“Fine. Here, blessings for you.”
Oswald“What effect does this have?”
Wizard of the South“It’s the blessing of rain. It’ll be useful in dry weather.”
Oswald“Sigh. Why is everyone so useless...”
Wizard of the South“What was that?”
Oswald“No, it’s nothing. Excuse me.”
Izumi(Masumi-kun has learned to assert himself on stage. He’s conveying the cocky air of the Wizard of the South well.)
Oswald“Wizard of the East. My name is Oz.”
Wizard of the East“What? Who are you.”
Oswald“I moved into the central city a little while ago. I came to deliver you a warning.”
“The Wizard of the West has been acting suspiciously lately. It seems he’s plotting to steal the land of the Wizard of the East.”
Wizard of the East“I don’t believe it. There’s no way he would betray me.”
Oswald“It’ll be too late by the time you find out whether or not it’s the truth. Be very careful.”
Wizard of the East“...I suppose I’ll strengthen my defense just in case.”
Oswald“I’ll stop the Wizard of the West from advancing this way at the central city.”
Wizard of the East“What? Do you mean that?”
Izumi(The Wizard of the East is suspicious of Oswald, but he is ultimately deceived by his smooth talking.)
(Chikage-san really shines here. Tsuzuru-kun is also doing a good job expressing the Wizard of the East’s uncertainty.)
Rick“Sir Oz, what were you discussing? What about defeating the Wizard of the East?”
Oswald“There’s no need. If we wage war, there will be many casualties. It’s best to resolve things as peacefully as possible.”
RickYou really are incredible, Sir Oz!
Izumi(Finally, they go to meet the Wizard of the West...)
Oswald“Wizard of the West. My name is Oz. The Wizard of the East seems to be plotting an attack on this land.”
Wizard of the West“What?”
“...He does seem to be strengthening his defenses.”
Oswald“You can tell?”
Wizard of the West“I only have one eye, but as a trade-off, it can see everything.”
Oswald“I’ll stop the Wizard of the East from coming this way at the central city.”
Wizard of the West“You? For what reason?”
Oswald“If two powerful wizards fight one another, this entire country will be put in danger.”
Wizard of the West“Hmph. Well, do as you please.”
Izumi(The Wizard of the West is the most suspicious of Oswald... This dynamic of trying to outfox each other really suits Chikage-san and Itaru-san.)
Oswald“The wizards of the east and west have promised me their loyalty. From here on out, the Emerald City will be peaceful for eternity.”
Citizen A“Cheers for Sir Oz! Cheers for the Emerald City!”
Izumi(Oswald wins over the people’s hearts and begins to act as their king.)
(He fools citizens who beg him to grant their wishes with his tricks and collects their tributes...)
Citizen A“The wizard looked like a giant beast.”
Citizen B“No, when I met him, all I saw was a giant floating head.”
Citizen A“He truly is a great wizard; his appearance is ever-changing.”
Rick“Sir Oz! Everyone in town is talking about you!”
Oswald“Hey, wait, you can’t come in now—.”
Rick“Sir Oz? Why are you holding a giant head?”
Oswald“Ah, well, this is....”
Rick“Do you need help carrying your luggage? This way, everyone—.”
Oswald“Stop! I get it. I’ll tell the truth. I’m getting tired of this make-believe game anyway.”
Rick“???”
Oswald“I’m not a wizard. My transforming appearance was all a lie. See—I was simply moving this head with strings.”
Rick“Moving the head with strings??? What do you mean???”
Oswald“See, like this....”
Rick“Wow, amazing! As expected of Sir Oz! The head is floating!”
Oswald“No, what I’m saying is—.”
Rick“Please teach me that spell one day!”
Oswald“...Whatever.”
Izumi(Oswald tries to expose his secret to Rick...)
(It’s proof that he’s inadvertently letting Rick into his heart. Chikage-san is expressing this change of heart....)
(Eventually, the Wizard of the West, who remains suspicious of Oswald, challenges him to a magical duel.)
(Oswald tries to use this opportunity to escape...)
