((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.

[ There's a small clap of her hands to that. ]

Happy Birthday, Wang Yao.

[He smiles and bows his head slightly.]

Xie xie, Lucifer.

I hope my skill with the guzheng hasn't gone rusty, aru.

It was quite an excellent performace. I wasn't aware that you knew how to play an instrument.

[China rubs the back of his neck.]

I've had more than enough time to learn and practice, aru. The guzheng is not the only instrument I can play either.

[Then a question pops into his head.]

When is your birthday, Lucifer?

Oh, what else can you play? I'm curious now.

[ She makes a pause, remembering the person that gave her one. ]

November first.

Well, there's the pípá (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipa), the bamboo flute... basically, many Chinese instruments, aru. Of course, there are some that I play better than others.

[He may have lived for a long time, but even for China... learning all those instruments would be overwhelming since there were so many. He'd never admit that aloud, though.]

Oh? That's next month then, aru! Is there anything you would like?

Impressive. You are so skilled with many instruments, Wang Yao. Though I expected no less from someone like you~

[ She smiles. ]

Surprise me.

[He smiles bashfully.] Ahaha, xie xie.

Very well then. I will do my best, aru. Although, I still don't really know what sort of things you like.

I'll give you a hint.

[ She makes a pause. ]

I like cute and strong things!
