Ah... good day. This is Japan, once again... I hope that everyone has been doing well. With Valentine's Day coming up so soon, I believe we should do our best to prepare for whatever may happen. That is, if anything is to happen at all... but many of this town's residents seem quite certain of it.

I'm sure that among you, there are several who

"What do you mean by prepare? Simply boycott all sweets and lock ourselves in our homes? Or home prepare sweets and not trust any from unknown sources?"

"Also, happy birthday."

[politerudeness]

Considering the events of the past year, that may actually be a good option... ah, thank you.

[hontobakabaka]

"I've only been here for two weeks. What has happened on Valentines day in the past. Other than people being idiots?"

[politerudeness]

Eh? ... From what I read, there were poisoned candies spread around that caused various unusual effects in those who ate them.

[pygmalion_perv]

Oh, geez! I didn't know it was your birthday! I should probably get you a present, huh?

[politerudeness]

Ahh, no, it's alright! I greatly appreciate it, but there is no need for that...

[pygmalion_perv]

But you're my country! I should do something for you, at least. It wouldn't feel right not doing anything at all.

[politerudeness]

I do not wish to be a hindrance...

[hwamei]

That's what you say every year.

[ yes she is using the phone in the next room

hi ]

[politerudeness]

I suppose I do, don't I...

[hwamei]

Hee hee. A birthday is still a birthday, you know! What does Japan wish for this year?

[politerudeness]

[ a pause. he sounds very thoughtful, suddenly ] What I wish for...

[It's your favourite hate filled citizen!]

Countries have birthdays?

[politerudeness]

... Ai-san. Yes, though they are not quite the same as the birthdays humans have.

[miss_enma_ai]

Why do you have them?

[politerudeness]

... Ah? We simply do.

[beamiracle]

That's right, it would be your birthday today, wouldn't it...if I had realized sooner I would have gotten you something.

[politerudeness]

That's quite alright. ...My birthday is not as much as a cause for celebration as it used to be.

[beamiracle]

Even so, a birthday should still be celebrated somehow, shouldn't it?

[politerudeness]

...

As a human, this day is my birthday. As a nation, this is the National Day of the country of Japan, which the Japanese people are to celebrate in a considerably quiet and modest manner. [ compared to the past, that is. ]
