((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.

[Then he realizes.]

E-EHHHH?!

That is--!

I-I don't understand, aru... How can something like that ever be enjoyable?

People are weird. Don't think too much about it. [ He shrugs. ]

Got you something, by the way. It's in the kitchen.

Oh?

[That helps him perk up. He makes his way to the kitchen immediately.]

[ On the kitchen table, China will find an apple basket (http://www.theflowerpot.com/images/product/Appleflower.jpg) with chrysanthemum flowers rather than the ones in the picture. ]

[There's a sparkle in his eye and he gingerly touches one of the chrysanthemums.]

Ah, it's beautiful, aru!

[He turns around completely to face Netherlands and bows.]

Thank you very much!

Don't mention it. [ He appreciates the gratitude. As simple as the gift was, he had put some thought behind it and he's glad China likes it. Though he does find the bowing to be just a little bit unnecessary; just saying thanks would've been enough. ]

[It is his culture.]

The apples look so delicious~

[ Doesn't stop him from thinking it's unnecessary. But he won't comment on it. You get used to it when you're best friends with Japan. ]

I've heard they symbolize peace at your place.
