This is once again another fairytale like dream, isn't it?
The restraint of her consciousness has eased, so her mental age takes a step back.
It's as if she appears to be a starving child.
Could this be something? Is she someone who can foresee the future?
Nope.
This is just her stressing over her daytime diet.
This was just an unimaginable miscalculation.
Is that me?
Without delay you appear in her dreams, uh?
You sure are popular, aren't you?
I was finally able to see you again.
I am always close by you!
Of course you are! That's because you are nothing more than what my mind has created.
And yet, why are you over there!?
Over there?
Where have I appeared?
In reality!
This is a weird conversation, isn't it?
And it's not just you, where is the Dream Beast? Dream Beast!
Dream?
This is...
Dream Beast, what in the world are you exactly!?
Dream?
Why don't you say something!
You were able to speak in her dream!
Now, just calm down.
If you jumble dreams with reality too much then the people watching will get confused.
Who's watching this!?
More importantly, I'll let you forget all the bad things!
You can't fool me by doing that!
Now, now, just leave everything to me!
Stop!
Don't willfully look at someone else's dream!
Morning.
Good morning.
What were you doing on your own?
We were just watching your dream that you had 3 hours ago.
I can see that! You pulled out a dream card, didn't you!?
Who gave you permission to look at someone else's dream!?
And you...
What?
Since when was I being watched in your dreams?
Um, that's...
I was investigating whether or not you were a person who could see prophetic dreams.
Me? Prophetic dreams?
I thought that's why professor Kotou approached you.
As if, of course I can't!
Yes, I was wrong.
You can see lucid dreams.
Lucid dreams?
Yep.
It's a dream where you are completely aware of yourself within the dream that you are having at that moment.
A person who can manipulate what they're doing within their own dream in order to fulfill their desires.
That is you.
That's right.
I've obtained the technique to see the dreams that I want to see.
And I appeared within them.
Don't misunderstand me!
I would never see a dream within reality.
A dream lives to process only within a dream.
No one has the right to take a sneak peek!
Science's progress is...
Humanities right!
What's so interesting about getting a dream involved with reality?
I will never accept this type of research.
This isn't mankind's dream, it's a nightmare!
A person's consciousness is at the tip of an iceberg.
Within the soul, there is an infinite unconsciousness that spreads.
Inside is where all the emotion, all the behavior and even time sleeps.
This little girl's unconsciousness can connect with other people's unconsciousness.
And when she sleeps, her soul awakens.
Other people's ominous future becomes her nightmare and materializes in the real world.
Akumu-chan! Episode 2 ~Team Dream~
Subtitles in English by LuffyNoTomo and special thanks ( -o _ o- ) for raws and to Furransu for the use of their Japanese subs~!!
Stop this! Gosh!
This is a school!
That's why I'm calling, this morning it seems that my granddaughter had another nightmare.
I'm not sure what the dream card is about because I haven't seen it yet, but...
Even if you bring this conversation up at school, it bothers me!
Even if you say that then I'm bothered.
My granddaughter feels safe and is going to school because you are there.
What do you expect me to do!
Like I said, in order for the nightmare to not appear in reality...
I would like you to listen to my granddaughter and protect her.
If we look at the dream card then we can at anytime...
Like I said, gosh! I don't want to look at that ever again, goodbye!
Ayami-sensei! Your unusually in a bad mood, aren't you.
Are you having another argument with a guardian again?
Nope, it's not like that.
Um...an old man that's an acquaintance of mine keeps telling me to go for a marriage meeting. He is very persistent about it, that's why.
He's a very rude old man, yep.
When you said you didn't want to look, were you referring to the photo?
Huh? Oh, yes. He keeps telling me to at least look at the photo, he's so pushy.
Mutoi-sensei, do you have no intention of getting married?
Oh, if I ask this type of question, is it considered sexual harassment?
Don't worry about it, right? Because you said it with the flow of the conversation.
What's the deal? Mutoi-sensei, do you have a lover?
If you do and it turns out you have a shotgun wedding then make sure you don't let the PTA know about it. It would be troublesome!
No need to worry. I don't have a lover and you won't have to worry about something like that happening.
Oh my, are you the type who doesn't want to get married?
Yep. I intend to dedicate my life to the 'way of the teacher'.
No, wait...wait, you don't have to go that far to cast aside your dream, right!
I haven't thrown away my dream!
I believe this has nothing to do with you, Mugiyama-sensei.
How stupid. Something such as marriage is simply nothing more than being dependant on someone else's kindness.
A person's greatest weakness is believing in people and depending on their kindness.
With this, you find yourself a little bit at ease. This is what we call depending on other's kindness, which then allows people to place their trust in others, which is it's true identity.
And thus, without fail you will be betrayed.
Mutoi-sensei, may I have a word with you.
Yes, principal.
I just had a call from Kotou-san's grandfather. In order for Kotou-san to not have more truancies, he wants you to caution her and watch over her at school. Please do so.
You understand, right?
Yes.
That damn old man, how far does he plan to take advantage of me.
Hey, is it possible that at your last school you were bullied?
Why would you say that?
Because ever since she transferred here, you look as if your afraid of us.
It's alright, no one will pick on you here, in this class!
That's right! There's no mistake, you should be friends with Ayano-chan.
Right, Ayano-chan.
Moe-chan, saying "you should be", isn't that being mean?
It sounds like your saying that the small common people unwillingly want to be with someone who's rich.
I didn't mean it like that!
Let's talk during the break, I want to hear all about you!
If you're worried about anything, you can just tell us.
Hey! Why don't you look at our faces?
You don't believe in what I'm saying?
Please don't press her!
I'm not pressing her at all! How disreputable!
I'm sorry.
Yuiko-san doesn't have a mother or a father so she's always lonely, that's all!
What's up with this! Just Miu-chan, have you already become friends?
Gaining the advantage.
That's...
What are you guys doing? Oh, you're picking on them!
They are picking on them.
It's the spiteful girl's way of picking on them.
Bullying, bullying!
Silence, you brats!
You're the one who's a brat.
Kotou-san, what do you think? Do you not want to be friends?
Look me in the eye and answer me!
What's the matter?
Ayami-sensei, Kotou-san's spinning her eyes.
What?
Hey, what's wrong?
Yuiko-chan, did something happen?
Did psycho-sensei do something?
I'm not psycho but A-YA-MI.
If by chance that name catches on, I will hold you responsible for it!
I will never call you by that name again.
I'm sorry but can you leave the two of us alone?
Yes, please take your time.
Nightmare-chan, so I heard you had another nightmare?
I feel bad, but could you not bring your nightmares to school?
I don't want to get involved in this anymore.
You don't care what happens to your students?
Are you threatening me?
Sensei, even though I trust you...
Don't easily trust me.
Because people trust, they become scared.
If you think of this world all along as a nightmare then you won't be scared, right?
Nightmare...what are they talking about?
You should put yourself out more!
If you do that, then what? Then you wouldn't have to feel sorry for experiencing someone else's unconsciousness or other unnecessary things.
I'm the one who's declining.
Saying that I won't watch the nightmares. You should put yourself out more like that.
I can't seem to get the words out very well.
If that's the case then use your hands. At any rate, you should express yourself!
She's trying to persuade her to use violence!
If you do that, then I'm sure it will be a good way to get rid of the nightmares.
It's too late!
Like I told you, don't vent to me about this.
Don't look at me with those eyes! Gosh...
What are you doing?
I caught a duck.
What are you going to do with it?
I'm going to give it to my father.
It's okay, it's alright, this is just a dream!
I don't quite get it, but...
Is that snake the father?
Are you saying that my classes Nakahara, Touma is going to kill his father?
With no mistake, it seems that would be the case.
You're saying some irresponsible things again.
Nope, I didn't say it because of the dream. I see it as it is.
It could also just be a dream about killing a snake, right.
That is why, in order to not make a mistake it is necessary that you make a dream interpretation.
If this snake really is the father and this dream is a prophetic dream about him getting murdered, then what are you going to do?
But why must I be the one to make that interpretation!
He's your student, right?
I don't know about their family!
A teacher's job is just to educate their students at school, right!
Just as if your feeding a sheep grass?
Is becoming a shepherdess your ideal teacher?
That's exactly right! Even the students won't remember their teacher forever.
When they graduate, isn't it better if they forget everything nice and easy?
To desire anything further would be to depend on each other.
Forget it.
If we don't do something then it doesn't matter what form it takes, my granddaughter's nightmare will appear in reality.
You as well, ought to already fully understand this.
And yet, if you like then just ignore it.
Thereupon, even if my granddaughter becomes truant, please don't worry.
Are you a new kind of a monster parent (over-demanding parent)?
It's alright for you to stay here as you are now!
It's okay, I'm fine.
If I stay here then a father like that will once again come back here.
You finally got a divorce, if I stay then it would be meaningless.
But...!
I'm fine.
I'm used to him.
Are you living with father alone?
Touma, you don't have to call him "father" anymore.
I'm sorry about everything, stay well.
It was brief, but living together with you was fun.
I'm grateful for being in your care.
Bye...
Teru-chan!
What are you doing here?
Welcome back.
You were quite late, weren't you.
Do you have something to say to me?
Are you hungry?
I waited here because I thought I would make you something as an apology for what happened the other day.
I don't want to eat anything.
Please leave.
Do you only enjoy eating meals inside your dreams?
As well as mingling with people.
What is your objective?
Would you let me come inside? Let's take the time to talk.
No.
Perhaps it was fate that you meet me within your lucid dream.
It's just a coincidence!
Is the fact that you also meet professor Kotou and Kotou, Yuiko-chan also just a coincidence?
Please trust me, I merely just want you to be able to depend on me.
I want to get to know you more.
Why?
It appears that I have...
Fallen in love with you.
Leave.
And never come here again.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
I'm fine, please don't worry.
I understand.
Yes, goodbye.
Ayami-sensei, is something the matter?
Ah. My classes Nakahara, Touma, starting from today his last name will change to Kanda. His mother was informing me of that.
Are the parent's divorcing?
That's right.
Nakahara-san...
In the end they couldn't even last for two years, uh.
Oh, Kaibara-sensei. Do you know Nakahara, Touma's parents?
He has an older sister from the previous marriage.
Nakahara, Terumi. I was her home room teacher.
Right now she's a 2nd year middle school student but just before she graduated from this school, her father remarried.
I thought she would finally become happy but...
As I thought, I didn't work out.
Well, to tell you the truth, he was a good-for-nothing father.
Calling himself a musician, when he gets drunk he acts violently in a drunken frenzy!
So, that's how it was...
But, that happens a lot. Where a woman becomes attracted to a no good father, it's like they can't be stopped.
Once in a while there are a few guardian's like that old man, that can get married over and over.
Um, I wonder why that is, right? Ayami-sensei.
What? I don't know...
Mugiyama-sensei, the point of question is deviating towards yourself.
No it's not! Hey!
You should go to class, go to class already.
You're so admirable. Without running you brought her all the way to the nurses. How manly!
That's because Kotou-san's eyes were spinning, I thought it might have hurt a lot.
Did your eyes spin?
Did you hit your head?
Then, I wonder why?
Because I was scared...
Scared?
Ah, so that's how it is.
Did you push her on purpose?
What? I didn't do it on purpose.
It's alright! Because you're a kid right now, accidentally injuring the girl you like on purpose isn't abnormal or anything.
However, when you become an adult, please take the time to remember my words.
Thereupon, if you escort her all the way home, then that's a legitimate stalker!
Ouch!
What are you doing?
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
Gosh, just use your words!
I tried expressing myself.
What does that mean!?
You two are from Ayami-sensei's class, right?
As I thought...
What's she teaching you? That psycho-teacher!
You're not the one writing that blog called "My Teacher's a Psychopath", are you?
You two were both here, um?
Come, let's go to class.
This is what they mean when someone say's they are scared, right.
[Snack - Uwabami (Large Snake/Heavy Drinking)]
Welcome!
Touma.
Teru-chan!
What? Is he your little brother?
What are you doing at a place like this!?
Excuse me for a moment.
Sorry about that, here you go.
Good job finding me.
But you can never come there again.
If they find out how old I am, then I'll just be causing trouble for the people at the store.
Are you working at a store that sells alcohol?
That's right.
Why?
I have no choice.
My dad has a debt to that store.
Plus, I also want money.
How much do you want?
For now, about 30,000 yen ($376.62).
Silly, you don't have to think too much about it.
We're already strangers now.
Okay?
Don't come there again!
I told you not to come again, didn't I!
If inside's no good, then would you care to eat out?
If you're in the middle of a diet, then let's run together?
Or if you like, shall we go inside a dream?
Would you like to swing with me?
The breeze feels good, it's better than being inside a dream.
Hurry up and talk.
What do you want to know?
You don't want to know about me, right?
Plus, I don't think you're the type who'd be persistent in sensual love.
You won't believe me?
In my feelings.
If that's the case, then I'll be honest and talk about another part of my heart.
I'm interested in Kotou, Yuiko's dreams.
She...
She has the ability to see prophetic dreams, right?
Professor Kotou is hiding that from me.
And yet, he told you about it.
Am I wrong?
If that's the case...
In one way or another, aren't you just being used?
If so, then there's no need for you to carry the burden alone.
Would you like to team up with me?
I want to help you.
I want to be your strength.
Why?
Saying that, "a dream is just something you see in a dream".
Don't say something so lonely.
Reality also has things still worth believing in.
I...
When I was little, I was put in an institution. And lived without any discomfort.
That's because I never felt the need for anyone's help.
I'm only concerned with reality, for the sake of supporting myself with a job.
I don't need an environment where I need to depend on others.
Goodbye.
It's already too late.
I have already become your friend.
Please don't forget that.
Sensei, it's terrible!
A thief! A thief appeared!
A thief?
A thief!?
Koizumi-san, what was stolen?
My wallet.
Your wallet?
Aren't you not allowed to bring money to school?
Sensei, I'm sorry.
How much was inside?
About 500 yen ($6).
This brat, how dare she make an uproar over loose change.
But my wallet is "Puragamo (Duck)" and it's worth about 30,000 yen ($376.62).
"Puragamo"?
Kotou-san, did it, right?
What? Why do you think that?
Because Kotou-san hates us.
That's right! Kotou-san, doesn't have a mother or father, I bet she has money problems.
That hasty was of thinking has become the main cause that produces false accusations.
But...
Enough. Kotou-san, please come with me.
Sensei! Kotou-san's not that kind of person.
For the time being, I'll just listen to what she has to say.
Come now.
What are we gonna do! A duck came out of the spring! (Spring meaning Koizumi)
Next is...a snake.
Sensei!
Nakahara-kun...
I mean, Kanda-kun.
Sensei, Kotou-san didn't do it.
Sorry.
It was me.
And then?
Why did such an honest child steal the wallet?
Do you understand what caused him to do it?
No, not yet...
We must fully take care of his heart, don't we.
So that next time an even bigger incident doesn't occur.
Um, is that an order or an expectation?
Of course it's both!
Tomorrow's Saturday, you'll work with all your heart, right.
Huh...
The problem with the blog is still unsolved.
You sure have your work cut out for you, right.
What is it?
Touma, stole someone's wallet!?
Madam, calm down.
I believe this is a problem of the heart.
If you don't know his heart, then nothing will be solved.
Because of that, I the school nurse, in place of the home room teacher, have arrived.
I know things like the school counselor does, so, please don't worry.
I may not have the qualifications but I have motivation. Unlike some teachers, I'm the exact opposite.
Okay.
I bet he...
Did that for Teru-chan's sake.
Teru-chan?
That girl called Teru-chan, for the sake of her father that wallows in alcohol, bravely works as a hostess.
Why would Kanda, Touma do that on her behalf?
Aren't they already strangers?
Wow, how cold!
Huh?
This is a stereotypical codependence!
Codependence?
That Teru-chan is.
No matter how much her father makes her suffer. She's under the impression that, "my father's hopeless without me". She can't leave.
If he doesn't drink alcohol, then he's a kind person.
Teru-chan, believes in such a father.
He's a musician, right?
Even though he is, he's the type of person that sold his guitar in order to drink alcohol.
When he got drunk, he raised a hand to Touma...
My patience was already at its limit.
Teru-chan's the only one that doesn't know the limit.
She has a sense of unity and believes in her father.
By doing that, that's the reason why she clings for the affection of her father.
Thus, that is the reason why Kanda, Touma clings to the older sister that's from a previous marriage.
I see.
Was I able to be of some help?
Huh? You weren't helping, this is your job, right?
Well then, good work.
Dream?
Dream Beast?
Dream!
Dream?
Dream!
Kanda-kun!
"Puragamo"?
Sensei, I'm sorry.
I get it, this is a dream, right?
Alright.
Take me to the place you want to go.
Kanda-kun?
Who are you?
Sensei!
Is this because I saw the dream card?
Akumu-chan encroached and even came into my lucid dreams.
This is a nightmare!
What's this?
Gosh!
Why are you so clingy!
Let me taste...
You play baseball.
You don't have to think of us as your new family.
You don't have to think of me as your older sister!
Just think of it as we are all a part of the same team, okay?
Who are you?
The same face as in my dream...
I wonder why I have seen this far?
Good work. Thank you.
Coach!
Coach, you can't drink alcohol, right?
Um...that's right.
How do I make someone stop drinking?
Um, let's see. It would be great if they think it tastes bad, just like I do.
But if they like it then it would be difficult to do.
Here it is, it's the same as my dream.
"Uwabami"(Large Snake/Heavy Drinking)?
So, this is the serpent?
I found the large snake!
Excuse me.
We're not open yet. If you're a selling something, I refuse.
Um, is someone by the name Nakahara, Terumi-san here?
How are you related?
I'm a teacher from Meikei elementary school. My name is Mutoi.
An elementary school? Where you her teacher?
No, I'm her little brother's homeroom teacher.
And? What's it matter if she's here?
Would you please have her stop working here?
Why?
"Why?"...
Because having a middle school student work is violating the law.
At present time, I won't report this to the police.
Has she done something wrong?
Has she caused trouble for you or her little brother?
Yes, she has.
For her sake, he stole money.
Isn't it because she's working here?
And what will happen?
"And"?
Kicking her out from here, what will you do about it!
Are you going to send her to an institution!?
Even if you do, she won't abandon her father.
She'll escape from an institution and next she'll risk her life to earn an income.
You know what that means, right?
In order for that not to happen, I'm taking care of her here!
You're just letting her depend on you, right! Taking advantage of her feelings!
What?
She's no better!
Having her father depend on her!
If she doesn't cut it out, then she's not really living!
A child that's not blessed with parents has to keep on living by themselves!
If she seeks happiness for others then she's only hurting herself!
Acting like that, you only have yourself to save you!
And if your an adult you should act like one and show them the way!
You may not look it, but you sure can talk, sensei.
I understand. Wait till tomorrow. I'll talk to her then.
Sorry. Please do.
I wonder why I said that.
I was acting like a child.
You're Nakahara, Terumi-san, right?
You're mistaken.
It's been a long time since I've seen a kid glare at me like that with those eyes.
It's almost as if she had Medusa's eyes.
Um?
Uwabami (Large Snake/Heavy Drinking)?
I get it!
This nightmare was based on the eight-headed serpent myth.
Eight-headed serpent?
I can't think of anything else it would be.
There's a common origin for mankind, dream and myth.
They call it a universal unconsciousness.
If that's the case. The premonition dream came from Kanda, Touma's unconsciousness...
The Japanese myth...the eight-headed serpent and the universal meaning is hidden.
[Tale of the Eight-headed Serpent - The land of Izumo was entirely confined to tyranny by a mountain-like large built, with 8 heads, multi-headed dragon. The ending is that Susanoo exceptionally killed it.]
What does that mean?
The sun god, Amaterasu's little brother Susanoo. In order to save the daughter from being a human sacrifice. He killed the eight-headed serpent, that's what it means.
How did he kill it?
First, he had the serpent drink alcohol and then with his sword he was able to kill it.
Alcohol?
How do we prevent this?
Well, that's...we're just gonna have to watch over Susanoo's behavior, won't we?
Huh...
It's your nightmare! Work a little!
What's up with that! It's freaking me out, look.
That's the new transfer student, Kotou, right.
Go ask her! Ask her what she's doing over there.
Hurry!
Me?
Yes, hurry up!
Why me.
Kotou, what are you doing over there?
Where's To...Touma-kun?
Touma?
He hasn't come today.
What? Perhaps, do you like him?
Wow.
Touma-kun, is that you?
Long time no see, Touma.
Is your mom well?
Yep.
Oh! It's alcohol!
Did you buy this for me?
Yep.
Did Terumi ask you to?
Thanks a lot. I just about ran out of alcohol.
What the hell is this!
Um, does it taste bad?
What did you put in it!?
Nothing...
Am asking you, what did you put in this!?
Are you trying to kill me!?
It's medicine.
What?
Who asked you to do this?
Are you trying to get a guarantee out of me?
I'll kill you guys!
It's a Chinese herbal medicine.
You idiot!
Stop, Kanda-kun!
Even if you do this...you won't ever be happy!
No matter how much you want to use violence to save your sister.
You and your sister won't be happy!
By doing that...you're just being dependant on your sister!
It doesn't matter if we're happy!
What?
It's because we're a team!
Because we're on the same team, it's obvious I'd save them!
Teru-chan and I are on the same team!
Sensei, behind you!
What?
What the hell are you doing!? That's enough!
Terumi...
You scumbag!
If you sell this then it's over! Look, I bought it back with 30,000 yen ($376.62)!
Take that and go where ever!
Go!
Bun'ichi-chan, we will wait for 2 years!
Until you stop drinking and come back, I'll look after her as if she was my own, ok?
In order to officially adopt, I'll wait 2 years!
Got that?
Touma, I'm sorry.
Even though we aren't a family anymore, as I thought, you're still my little brother.
Onee-chan (big sister).
Thanks to you sensei, you saved everyone.
Sensei, she wasn't depending on anyone.
While fighting with herself, she wanted to give her father a dream.
Hey! What did you come here for!?
To a guy who wouldn't die...
While living, what approached him was...
A precious angel's...
As long as I have your wings...
I broke them off, didn't I...
If I could make it on time...
It would be good if I make it...
Would you believe me, just once?
I'll be able to hold you once more.
I'd be able to protect you.
Would you please let me?
Saying that, "a dream is just something you see in a dream".
Don't say something so lonely.
Reality also has things still worth believing in.
It's because we're a team!
Because we're on the same team, it's obvious I'd save them!
Teru-chan and I are on the same team!
I want to help you.
Would you like to team up with me?
Thanks to you sensei, you saved everyone.
Welcome home.
If we're just a team, then I guess...
You can come in.
[Preview] Don't just go changing my room, please!
When you date a man then your room will change.
Whoever reads this manga, it becomes real...
You're a suspect!
Anyone who looks at that note book, their unconsciousness becomes a part of it.
I'm...I'm right here!
I'm a psychopath!
Professor, if it's a secret, than I will definetly protect it.
Sensei, I will never betray you!
It's okay even if you do.
