((Route)) [029] Video/Action Goldenrod [China's Bday]

[gochuugoku]

[Today is October 10 and it is drizzling in Johto. China can be seen walking around Goldenrod, holding a red umbrella over his head. His Glaceon, Meimei, happily jumps into puddles as she follows her master. China looks into the various shop windows until something in the music shop catches his eye.]

Oh! They actually have one, aru!

[Video]

Hold the camera nice and steady, Meimei.

[China can be seen standing behind an interesting-looking instrument. He tests the strings first, before playing this song. Pay attention at how he's using his fingers. When he's finished he looks up at the gear, smiling gently.]

Today is my birthday, aru. Also, I first arrived in Johto on October ninth last year, a day before my birthday. [He sighs, but keeps smiling.] I have noticed that there are quite a few people who also have their birthdays in October, so consider the song I just played as my gift to you all, aru.

[China doesn't know who this is, but he still smiles and bows his head a little.]

Xie xie.

[ ... and the bowing just... naturally makes tezuka bow his head a bit as well. just for politeness' sake. it was the other's birthday, after all. ]

You played well.

[He chuckles.]

Thank you again. It's just been so long since I last played the guzheng, aru. I could not resist once I saw it. Too bad I won't be able to purchase it, though.

[ this is the slightest look of curiosity--though it's more of a minuscule raise of the eyebrow. ]

Is there a reason?

I have enough money to do so, but it's just such a big instrument, aru. It is not something that I can carry with me everywhere so easily.

I am used to being on the move, it's how I grew up, aru.

It is inconvenient. [ from what he saw, it was a large instrument. extremely large. ] You could come back to it.

True, hopefully it will still be here when I return to Goldenrod, aru.

Or maybe, after I have collected all the badges, I will buy myself a house and then I will be able to purchase the guzheng. [He'd like that. Of course, if he could just go home, that wouldn't be too bad either.]

[ he nods. ] That's an admirable plan. [ there's progress! and.. organization! ]

Admirable? It just seems to be the most rational to me, aru.

I am Wang Yao, by the way. [He bows his head in greeting.]
