    • Quotes
      • Munto: I finally got through, there's no time left. Daughter of the Earth, give me your power immediately.
      • [Yumemi grunts]
      • Munto: What is your name, mortal?
      • Yumemi: Yumemi.
      • Munto: Yumemi, listen to me carefully. Something in my world is depleting the Akuto energy, and that is putting us in danger of total devastation. In order to avoid this fate, we need your assistance. Stop wasting time and give me your power! You must cooperate, answer me. Yumemi!
      • Yumemi: But, who are you?
      • Munto: I don't like your tone! You'll address me as Lord Munto! There's no more time for you to think his over Yumemi. I know you saw it too. The heavens are falling and your earth is full of death. Akuto doesn't exist here. Not even I can exist very long on this earth. If you don't give me your power, before my time here on earth expires, both the heavenly world and in fact your world will be destroyed forever.
