Boy Alice in a Dream
Backstage Stories| Alice's Friend A | Hey, Alice. How about we drop by the pub along the way home? Senpai said that he’ll be bringing along his little sister’s friends. |
| Alice's Friend B | Idiot, there’s no way that Alice will go, is there? |
| Alice | Alright, got it. |
| Alice's Friend B | What? |
| Alice's Friend A | Well, see you later then. |
| Alice's Friend B | ……That’s rare of him to be joining us in things like this. |
| Alice's Friend A | He’s been agreeing to come along with us recently. |
| Alice | …… |
| Professor | Hello, Alice-kun. |
| Alice | Professor…… |
| Professor | It seems like you’ve been leading a meaningful school life recently. I no longer see you at the base of this very tree everyday anymore. |
| Alice | I just tried to follow your advice. |
| Professor | I see. What’s most important is that you’re having fun. Won’t you come drink a cup of tea together with me sometime too? |
| Alice | Didn’t I already tell you that your teatimes are too crowded? |
| Professor | My my. It seems like it’s rather hated by you. |
| ……Right, you’ve changed. You no longer need teatimes. | |
| Alice | ……? |
| Professor | Till later then, Alice-kun. Have a nice weekend. |
| Alice | …… |
| ……He doesn’t have any classes today huh. | |
| (Come to think of it, it’s been quite some time since I’ve read a book down here since I’ve been really busy up till now) | |
| (It’s really calming here after all……) | |
| …… | |
| ……Hm? | |
| (This place……it’s still not over?) | |
| (But unlike that time, there aren’t any white rabbits. I’ve not fallen into any holes either. So, why……) | |
| White Rabbit | Oh no, oh no, I must hurry. |
| Alice | Oh, Oi, hey youーー |
| White Rabbit | What should I say since I’m lateーー |
| Alice | Oi, wait. |
| Alice | ……I’m here again huh. |
| White Rabbit | Phew, barely made it on time. |
| Cheshire Cat | You’re both late. The tea will go cold. |
| Mad Hatter | The one who’s late is Alice-kun. |
| Alice | What? |
| King Of Hearts | That’s a death penalty. |
| Mad Hatter | Now now, wait a minute, king. It’s not anything to rush, is it? The tea party has just started. |
| White Rabbit | It hasn’t even started. |
| Cheshire Cat | We have to hurry and start. |
| Mad Hatter | Right, right. That’s true. We’re already behind time by 5 minutes. |
| White Rabbit | Not 5 minutes. It’s an hour. |
| Mad Hatter | Hm? That’s strange, the clock seems to be off. Alice-kun, what day was it today again? |
| Alice | It’s the 4th day. |
| Mad Hatter | So it’s been off for 2 days……alright. In other words, since today’s the 4th day, right, we’re 5 minutes behind time. |
| White Rabbit | I’m saying, 1 hour. |
| Cheshire Cat | It’s off again. I think we should have fixed the date. |
| Alice | ……My head hurts. It’s meaningless to be only fixing the date, isn’t it. |
| Mad Hatter | Really? Well, whatever. Let’s hurry and start the tea party now. |
| As the only one late for the tea party, Alice-kun, show us a trick or two. | |
| Alice | Hah!? |
| White Rabbit | That’s nice. If so then I want to see you balancing a ball. |
| Cheshire Cat | I want to see you swinging in mid-air. |
| King Of Hearts | I want to see a trick that sends your head flying. |
| White Rabbit | He’d die if he did that, wouldn’t he? |
| King Of Hearts | That’s because it’s a death penalty. |
| Cheshire Cat | Sounds interesting! |
{{Line|character=Cheshire Cat (Sakuya): Do it once over.
{{Line|character=King Of Hearts (Citron): Otherwise, you’ll face the death penalty.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): You have the obligation to find an answer that satisfies us.
Alice (Masumi): How stupid. I can’t solve a riddle without an answer. I can’t think of it as anything else but a waste of time.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): That’s how you spend time just like that. How about you try taking a note from “Him” a little more?
Alice (Masumi): “Him”?
Mad Hatter (Itaru): If you spend your time with me, you won’t end up like how “Him”
Alice (Masumi): I don’t get what you’re talking about.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): I thought that you had changed a little but it appears that you haven’t changed at all.
Alice (Masumi): What do you want to say. In the first place, all those things you were saying beforeーー
Mad Hatter (Itaru): Before?
Alice (Masumi): Someone who really resembles you told me that I’ve changed.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): I see, I see. But that just means that you’ve essentially not changed at all.
Alice (Masumi): You’re being to vague.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): It seems like the person who told you that really thinks that way. What a show of courage.
Alice (Masumi): Show of courage?
Mad Hatter (Itaru): Or rather, he’s given up.
Alice (Masumi): I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): My, is that so? Well, I don’t know much of it since I’ve only just picked it up.
Alice (Masumi): Why do you understand what the professor thinks so well?
Mad Hatter (Itaru): You should already know the reason to that.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): I understand what the professor thinks better than anyone else. And so, I forced you to participate in this tea party.
Mad Hatter (Itaru): And then, what’s the most logical consequence which can be derived from it?
Alice (Masumi): What can be derived from that……?
Mad Hatter (Itaru): Well, just drink the tea and take your time to think about it slowly.
Alice (Masumi): ……
Alice (Masumi): ーー
Alice (Masumi): (What? All of a sudden, my consciousnessーー)
Mad Hatter (Itaru): Good night, Alice. Sweet dreams.
Alice (Masumi): ーー
Professor (Itaru): Morning, Alice.
Alice (Masumi): Professor……
Professor (Itaru): How about you have a cup too?
Alice (Masumi): ……Ittadakimasu.
Professor (Itaru): Oh? I thought you said that you didn’t like it?
Alice (Masumi): It’s because I don’t hate the taste of the tea you make. Moreoverーー
Alice (Masumi): You wanted to drink tea together with me, didn’t you?
Professor (Itaru): That’s an interesting opinion. I’d like to hear your reasons behind those views.
Alice (Masumi): Let’s take our time to talk about it over tea.
Professor (Itaru): That’s a nice idea. You seem to have figured out how to spend your time too.
| Alice | Something like that isn’t even an act or anything, is it? |
| Alice | Saying that I’m late is just your plain assumption. Besides, I wasn’t even invited in the first place. |
| Mad Hatter | Is that so? |
| White Rabbit | That might be the case. |
| Cheshire Cat | Isn’t that the case? |
| King Of Hearts | Either way’s fine. I’ll place you in prison. |
| Mad Hatter | No choice then. If you can’t do tricks then how about we have you do a buzz and answer? |
| White Rabbit | That’s a nice idea. |
| Cheshire Cat | Agreed! |
| King Of Hearts | Hurry and do it. |
| Alice | Please don’t go deciding things all on your own. |
| Mad Hatter | Well then, here’s the first question. Why is a large piece of glass similar to a desk used for writing? |
| Alice | …..You don’t need a reason for that, do you? In the first place, they aren’t even similar. |
| Mad Hatter | Then, why can’t you solve it? |
| White Rabbit | That’s right, that’s right. |
