✝A Collar Dreamer's Pathetic High-School Debut✝
✝Manbo-Dead-Behind-the-House-P✝ Lyrics/Song: ✝You Takahashi✝ Art: ✝Tsukasa Ryuuguu✝
Humans don't realize, but dogs' brains are in their collars;
to be exact, the collars take over their consciousness
Once again, I'll take human form to control a dog today;
with my guidance, I can even make him do factorization!
Those foolish humans adore it,
this pitiful, lovable face,
completely unaware it's a mask I put on...
When they ask to "shake paws," I hold one out,
knowing that it's been dipped in two-year-old milk!
And this tongue with which I wet their face
has licked a smushed dragonfly's corpse!
My bretheren all compete for the best dogs;
to rule, one must take exams, get jobs and promotions...
But I'm not like other collars;
I have the protection of the Fallen Angel!
Behold the dark magic bestowed to my right eye...!
I got beat up by a chihuahua and smeared with phlegm...
You misunderstand! This belies my true potential!
The Fallen Angel happens to be at a bathhouse,
and he forgot to mix my magic power, so it's hardened...
Yeah, that's all it is...
You've got the wrong idea...
I'm soon to be a junior high senior, as humans say,
and I'm starting to realize...
The Fallen Angel and my magic are just a fantasy...
I'm not anything special...
This led me to a flower-arrangement network,
where I came to meet a powerful Cerberus
With his power, I'll surpass any collar in my league;
I can sweep up puny dogs with ease!
I got beat up by a chihuahua and smeared with phlegm,
and it cut the fingers off my favorite gloves!
I'm sorry, I have no divine protection, no talents,
and all there is under the eyepatch is a sty...
Enough of this - I'll just change my form,
and live as a human; they're such fools,
I bet they'll believe in the Fallen Angel and my magic!
Just you wait, human high school!
