Germany: I do understand the concept, but I haven’t exactly counted in an actual situation like this. There’s no guarantee I’ll be able to count well.
Prussia: I know, I know! Come on now, hurry up and count!
Germany: Okay then…*clears throat*
Germany: *whip crack* COUNT OFF!
Germany: Sheep #1! Over that fence!
Germany: Sheep #2! Over that fence!
*continues until 0:49. 10 sheep soldiers went over the fence.*
Germany: Sheep #1-
Prussia: No, West! That’s all wrong!
Germany: Hmm? What’s the matter, brother?
Prussia: West…You’re not in the middle of a training drill now! You’re trying to count someone to sleep here!
Prussia: Try to act more like Italy when you’re counting!
Germany: Brother…Think about that for a moment. Can you really imagine me acting and counting like Italy?
Prussia: That’s…a big negative.
Germany: See?
Prussia: Well then, you don’t have to act like Italy, but try counting more in a *yawn* or sleepy tone of voice.
Germany: A sleepy tone, huh? That sounds a bit difficult.
Prussia: Well, just give it a try. I’m sure it’ll have a different effect if you stop counting in the angry roll call voice.
Germany: Understood. *clears throat*
Germany: 11 sheep over the fence.
*Resumes counting until 2:20. Counts 20 sheep.*
Germany: How was that?
Prussia: Well… It’s definitely better than before, but you could try to sound like you’re having fun counting.
Germany: That’s easier said than done. How should I go about doing it and what would be an appropriate tone?
Prussia: Good point… How about…counting in rhythm!
Germany: Ah… So if I were to focus on the length of my pronunciations, I can also easily adjust my tone of voice and rhythm to create a relaxing and harmonius count.
Prussia: When you put it like that, I can’t exactly picture you having fun.
Germany: So what should I do?
Prussia: I got it! I bet if you count your favorite things, you’d get psyched up!
Germany: Favorite things, huh? Counting like that would certainly make someone passionate and motivated to do it!
Prussia: Right? Give it a shot!
Germany: Understood!
Germany: 21 wursts in the kitchen!
Germany: 22 wursts in the kitchen!
*continues until 3:36. He counts 25 wursts*
Germany: I see! Counting like this certainly is more enjoyable than counting sheep!
Germany: 26 bottles of beer!
Germany: 27 bottles of beer!
*continues until 4:03. He counts 30 bottles of beer*
Prussia: Hey, West.
Germany: What is it, brother?
Prussia: I’m getting *stomach growl* really, really hungry.
Germany: Me too.
Prussia: Figured as much! My body wants some beer and wursts now!
Prussia: I’m going to the kitchen for a bit. You want some too, right?
Germany: Yes! I bought some wurst that I heard was delicious so bring that u-
Germany: Hold on a minute, brother!
Prussia: Huh?
Germany: You’re not going to go to sleep?
Prussia: Oh, don’t worry about that! Let’s get some midnight snacks instead!
Germany: No! I have to finish what I started! Brother, go back into bed.
Prussia: Man… You get serious about the weirdest things.
Germany: It’s a bad habit to do things and just stop half-way. I always finish up whatever I start. Forget about getting the midnight snacks.
Prussia: All right, all right. I’m going back to bed.
Prussia: Here. This should be good, right?
Germany: Yes. There’s no problem.
Prussia: But we should stick to counting sheep from now on. The other way just gets us hungry.
Germany: You’re right. Well then, *cough* I’m continuing.
*resumes counting. Counts until 6:19. Counts 40 sheep.)
Prussia: Hearing your deep voice counting so relaxed like this can certainly make a person sleepy.
Germany: Hmm? Is that really so?
Prussia: Yeah…Sleepy~…
Germany: Well, it is pretty late. It’s only natural to feel tired.
Prussia: Ahh…
Germany: Hmm? Brother…Your blanket’s off. If you don’t cover up properly, you’ll catch cold.
Prussia: There’s no way I’ll catch a cold if I leave it off like this. I’m not that weak. *yawn*
Germany: Never mind that and cover up. Listen, brother. If you don’t take precautions for colds, you’ll end up catching one. It’s especially easy to catch one sleeping because your body’s vitality is low. While you sleep, your throat gets dehydrated and your body temparture goes down. By the way, did you even wash your hands properly when you returned home? They say that the hand is the source of all diseases in Japan!
Prussia: AHHHHHH! FINE, I GOT YOU ALREADY! I’LL PUT ON MY BLANKET! Ahh, God, you’re so freakin’ strict!
Germany: You’re just being too careless, brother.
Prussia: But…it really is warm.
Germany: Right?
Prussia: This feels…so good. I got to eat great food…and I get to sleep in such a warm and relaxing bed…I’m a bit…too happy now~.
Germany: Brother… Looks like he’ll sleep anytime now. I guess it’s time to finish up.
*resumes counting. Counts until 9:53. Counts 50 sheep.*
Prussia: *snore*
Germany: Sound asleep…
Germany: Good grief…Well, I should go back to work.
Prussia: West…
Germany: Brother, you’re awa-
Prussia: West. Don’t push yourself so much…38 chicks…in the nest~…*laughs*
Germany: I’ll sleep for today…
Germany: Still, he tells me to go to sleep and yet he goes and sleeps in my bed. What am I going to do with you, brother?
Germany: Oh well, I guess I’ll have to borrow my brother’s bed tonight.
Germany: Good night…brother.
