"They are reborn in this country." Licca: What is that? DLicca: A saying in Doll Land. Dolls that were loved by humans...are reincarnated as residents or Doll Land. Licca: Then what about you, Doll Licca? What kind of doll were you before you became a Doll Knight? DLicca: Me? I was... pg 92 Yume Koi Zoushi Super Doll Licca-chan sidestory pg 93 ?: ...the time is the Meiji era. Deep inside the forest, where no human dares to approach... There was an accursed doll... Doll: ... pg 94 Doll: He's HE~~~A~~~VY~~~! Doll: % I'm Licca. % As you can probably tell from looking at me (?), I'm a doll. % My Master- he's dead now -was a doll maker. % And because he wished so badly for a child... Man: (Oh! You can move!) Licca: % I became a moving doll. % And after that, he was never able to make a moving doll like % me. Licca: Now I have to hide someplace before he wakes up. (I don't want to startle him.) Guy: Huh...I thought I was in the mountains... pg 195 Guy: ... Licca: % Oh no! Licca: (AUGH! He woke up...) Licca: % FINE! I'M USED TO BEING SCREAMED AT ANYWAY! % COME ON, THINK THAT I'M A "GHOST" OR A "MONSTER" TO YOUR % HEART'S CONTENT AND SCREAM AND RUN AWAY!! % ...huh? % He's not screaming like everyone else does...? % (Could he have passed out or something...?) pg 196 Guy: Did you save me? I've been traveling a looong time, and I got careless with my money...so I've been wandering the forest for about five days without food... Licca: U! Um... Guy: Ah... pg 197 Licca: U-Um... Guy: Oh, this is good! Licca: Oh, is it? It's been about ninety years since I last cooked- ...NEVER MIND THAT!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M A MOVING DOLL?! AREN'T YOU THINKING LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, THAT YOU'RE SCARED OF ME?! WHY ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE AND EATING LIKE EVERYTHING IS FINE?!! Guy: ...because I'm hungry. pg 198 Licca: U-Um... Licca: % I've been so lonely...since my Master died... Licca: Are you really...not scared of me at all? Guy: Not a bit. Licca: % He was the first person I'd met, besides my Master, that % smiled at me. pg 199 Licca: He's home! Welcome back! Guy: I'm home! pg 200 Licca: I'm so sorry that I have to ask you to do the shopping... (It's a big help!) Guy: No, I should thank you. It's not really fair... (It's mostly all my food anyway.) Licca: It's all right, please don't worry about it. Because I have lots of money that my Master left behind. (I don't have any need for it.) Guy: By the way... You always come to greet me, but...how do you know that I've come home? Licca: Because I could smell you. Guy: Smell? Licca: Yes! I've had a very good nose, ever since I was born! Licca: ? Guy: % She's like a puppy... pg 201 Guy: There we go. Licca: % Kyaaa~~ Licca: I-It's all right, I can walk on my own. And you're already carrying everything- Guy: It's okay, you're light, Licca. Licca: % "Licca"... Guy: It's faster this way. Licca: Yes... Guy: % Such sweet times, that have been so different up till now... pg 202 Licca: % God, Master, please, please... % Let these kind of days go on forever and ever... Guy: Licca! Licca: Welcome home! Dinner is almosy ready- hm? You look so happy. Did something happen? Guy: Yup! I found a job. Licca: That's wonderful. Guy: So, Licca- AH! pg 203 Guy: You have rice on your face. Licca: What? Where, where?! Guy: No, not there. Here. pg 204 Guy: (Gouchisousama~) Licca: % KYAAAA! Guy: I'm going to go get some wood. (Call me when it's ready!) Licca: Geez... Licca: % I'm so happy! pg 205 Licca: ...it's boring being alone. But it's his job, so it can't be helped. Speaking of which, I wonder what he does at work... Licca: % It should be all right. I'm just bringing him something he % forgot... % (It's not like I came to bother him.) Licca: Oh, there he is! pg 206 Licca: Ah... Licca: % He's shopping...with that girl...? % ...that's right. % The world of humans...they look so normal together... % A place where I can't be... Crowd: KYAAAAAA! A-A DOLL IS MOVING!!

Guy: Licca? ...Licca. Why are you here? pg 208 Licca: Thank you for the lovely memories. Licca: % I'd forgotten... % That I was a "moster"... % That they're different... Licca: Goodbye... Licca: % We live in two different worlds... % What was I thinking...I'm all alone... pg 209 Licca: Ah! Licca: % C-Could he have... % ...come home? Crowd: UWAAH! pg 210 Crowd: THE MONSTER REALLY IS HERE!! HURRY AND RUN FOR IT! WAAAAAH! Licca: I have to...put out the fire... Licca: % I'm alone... % He's gone... Licca: Oh... pg 211 Licca: KYA! Licca: % Nothing can be all right anymore. % I knew... % That feeling, even more painful than being alone... % A special feeling, different from what I felt for my % Master... pg 112 Licca: % Why can I move? % Even though I'm a doll... % Why can't I be a normal doll? % I don't care if I burn here... % This house, this body... % If it all burns down, I'm sure the villagers will be able to % calm down about living here... % I don't want this heart...!! ?: LICCA!! pg 113 Licca: % Huh? Guy: I'm so glad you're all rught. Licca: % Why... Guy: I don't know what I would have done if I lost you. pg 114 Guy: ...and anyway... Now it'll look like the monster the villagers were scared of, burned in the fire. (Perfect, perfect!) Licca... Guy: I decided before. That as soon as I had money, the first thing I'd do was buy you something. pg 115 Guy: Can I sstill stay by your side? Can't I? Licca: Ah... Guy: Do you hate me? Licca: It's just that... I can't eat dinner, or go shopping with you like a human girl, right?! We live in...different worlds, don't we...? pg 116 Guy: Even so, I still think of Licca as a girl. I love you like you're a girl, Licca. Is that not enough? Licca: % This person... pg 117 Licca: % ...is the only person in the entire world who understands % me... DLicca: And so, until my soul was taken to Doll Land... I lived very happily together with him. pg 118 DLicca: Of course, I'm very happy now as well. Licca: Somehow... It's like the happy end to a fairy tale. Doll Licca is the princess, and that person is the prince on a white horse that saves the princess! DLicca: L-LICCA-SAMA! Licca: Night! DLicca: ...good night. pg 119 DLicca: % Although the time we spent together was short... pg 120 Guy: Licca? DLicca: % That day when we parted... % Over one hundred years... % And now I am here, as a Doll Knight, % I don't know if humans really have things like reincarnation, % but... pg 121 DLicca: % Will I ever meet you again...? pg 122 ?: And then.. DLicca: (Breakfast, breakfast~!) Rui: I'm home! ...huh? DLicca: (Welcome home!) Rui: Licca, that's... Isn't that breakfast for only one person? (The tabl setting and the food, too...) DLicca: Huh? DLicca: ... Arrow: She forgot to make some for herself DLicca: I'M SORRRRY! I'LL GO MAKE BREAKFAST FOR ANOTHER PERSON RIGHT AWAAAAY! Rui: (Ah...) It's all right, Licca. DLicca: (Huh?) pg 123 Rui: We'll both take half. See? He's hungry, too. (Let's eat now.) DLicca: Yes! DLicca: % I'm so happy!
