[ so the day after the whole Valentine's day event ended for real, Japan got droned! And then, almost ten days later, on the 26th, Japan wakes up to the realization that he had fake memories of an affair with a certain someone implanted into his mind and that he and that someone- ohgodohgodohgodohmygod  he better fix this mess and fucking now. ]

watching

like a bastard of course]

True Japanese men can't get arthritis treatment in Mayfield, y'know. Or hip replacements. Like, be careful.

[sarcasm aside, he doesn't seem to be too keen on going any closer to the house]

[politerudeness]

-Uwaaaah?! [ ...WHERE DID YOU COME FROM dude he's the one who invented ninjas here. nah, he was just concentrating a little too hard. is taken aback and

drops the katana

falls on his butt

then slowly looks up at you ]

... Hong Kong-kun? Ah, please do not scare me like this.

[scentofbauhinia]

[after some hesitance, he climbs over the fence and politely holds his out to help the silly old man up]

Sorry. I just came to check on you, 'cause you were droned and stuff, y'know.

[ah yes

plan to be slightly nicer to Japan in case he ever finds out what did and almost happened on Valentines and decides to kill him dead with that sword lalala...]

I was thinking like, some days at the cafe I wear a butler outfit instead of a maid one. The girls might like that too.

[politerudeness]

[ stares

why is Hong Kong... being nice to him... and doing polite things... and apologizing... and checking up on him... and helping him...! well, he accepts the help anyway, with some confusion and stands up. ]

Hmm, that's alright. If Hong Kong-kun would like to, there is no problem. When I think about it, Sebastian-san's uniform would suit you very well.

...Ah, but- is everything alright? Did something happen during the time I was gone?

[hwamei]

[ She calls out from the second floor. ]

Don't work yourself too hard, Kamina!

[ hehehe ] You look like you need a break. Do you want a snack?

[politerudeness]

Taiwan-san? [ w-where... searches for you with his head for a while ] Thank you, but I am in the middle of very intense, serious training at the moment! I mustn't lose my concentration! Ah... where are you?

[hwamei]

Up here, up here! [ She waves at him. ] Ah, I'll be right there, just a sec.

[And sooner or later, she's there. ] Why is Japan training at a time like this? [ in a quieter voice ] I don't think you can fight off being droned.

[politerudeness]

I wish to be prepared. In this town, something truly dangerous might happen at any time, and if I am out of practice with this...

[doudemoe]

[Do do do. Just chilling and struttn' through the neighborhood. And then he sees....

Damn, this guy's serious. It's like he belongs in one of those old samurai films.]

[politerudeness]

[ Oh yeah, Japan would fit right in one of those. He doesn't take notice of you just yet, though after that little show he suddenly stops and puts the sword down, then begins to breathe a bit heavily as though after a very long run. ]

Aaah... I think I overdid it slightly... p-perhaps I got a little too excited.

[doudemoe]

Yeah. Take a break.

[Said in his usual taciturn manner.]

[politerudeness]

Uwah! [ very startled by the sudden voice out of nowhere ] W-where... ah, I wonder if that was my imagination?

[thief_of_truth]

Wow, Japan, you look awesome! Just like the Steel Samurai!

[politerudeness]

[ stops right in his tracks ]

-Ah, Kay-san. Although that wasn't quite my intention, thank you very much!

[thief_of_truth]

Did you just get your katana back?

[politerudeness]

T-the truth is, I received it a considerably short time after my arrival...

[gonnabefriendu]

Yes! That is the kind of heart you should put into training!

[politerudeness]

I'm quite glad we agree on this! A-as a true Japanese man, I will not fail to take training seriously and become stronger!

[gonnabefriendu]

Would you like some training from me?

[politerudeness]

[ beat ]

What sort of training do you offer, ah...?
