I'm good! A little sunburnt! I look like a raccoon from my sunglasses XD

We went surfing!!

I am glad to hear you are enjoying your vacation then...

I think I understand why you focus on 2D, Japan.

... I see.

I would be happy to teach you about 2D, of course.

If 3D is becoming a burden.

Do we get to draw together?

...If you would like. I often go to Comiket and other circle events for my favorite doujinshi markets.

But doujinshi is very serious business, America-san. The deadlines are very important. I can teach you, however.

And if it is you, I know you will do well.

!! Really? Okay, okay let's try!

But know one thing: once you are my assitant, you cannot simply walk away.

This is a grave responsibility.

I won't! ...I can't XD You're the only person I feel's like my friend right now

...Has it become so terrible...?

everyone else is crazy Where's Osaka, will he help?

Ah, Osaka is at home at the moment. ...His home. I told him he could not keep staying at the house just to stare at England-san.

Nothing I can't handle but... girls are scary. Not Emily or Alice, they're cool! Just saying...

...LOL why is he staring at England xD? His eyebrows?

...Ah...yes, I...must admit I do not understand them much either...

...........................Perhaps it is better that I not say why.

B-but I will always be your friend, America-san.

... this is a moment where you say to me: America, no comment.

because you're a ninja and ninjas do it on the ceiling

.....

... thank you. I mean it. Well, Lithuania also is my friend! But yeah... they made that... weird.

We do it on the ceiling....?

You... you made Naruto, it's on that video!

doing it on the ceiling means it's COOL

Ah...? I'm afraid with dealing with so many guests at the moment, I have not been able to keep up as well as I would like...

or AMAZING~

...Ah, I see.

no, really it's fine, I can handle it!!

I think I'm not handling it WELL but I can handle it!

...But should you need it...? I will always be backup for you.

You're a good guy, Japan. Don't sweatdrop, I mean it with all my heart-- uh well, don't worry New York City is fine xD

anyway! OKAY SO I'M HELPING YOU DRAW

...Alright. I have a circle event coming up in February. With everyone here, it has been difficult to find time to draw...

Yeah, and with puppies too

And I'm afraid if I were to...openly show such a hobby, my guests may be....taken aback....

....and yes. One of them already chewed up one of my pens.

........................Please don't tell England-san this. He will feel responsibility.

...... oh shit man, sorry I'll replace that for you

... ;asldkf okay fiiiine. I swear I won't tell him

A-ah, no, it is alright. I bought a new one the other day when I went to the store... and thank you.

okay, I'm REALLY good at the boxes, you know what I mean? In comics

Because you draw a lot better than me, I think, or at least since it's for your people it would look weird if I drew it right?

Ah...If you would help me with inking, it would be a great assistance.

You got it!

I am deeply grateful.

So tell me more about 2D...

The body and soul can remain pure, even if the heart and mind become stained.

...It is safe, however. Whenever you wish to meet them, they are waiting for you.

When one becomes upset, one simply has to turn off the screen or pause the situation.

... How about reset?!

If the situation is dire enough, yes, a reset is possible.

So long as one has a save point.

So it's like an RPG

...Yes, that is one type of 2D available.

Dating Sims, RPGs, anime, manga, doujinshi, online simulations.

This is actually serious stuff, then?

...What do you mean?

I didn't realize it was so popular

...There are many in my country who have given up hope of 3D and gone to 2D instead.

This seems like fun! Okay, where should I ink?

You are with Australia-san now, yes?

He's heading home in a few hours

I'll be going back to the continenals soon.

Ah. ...perhaps you would like to take a side trip here for a day or two?

It seems to be a popular place for people to go to get away from others.

...No, that one girl is there. And you're really busy. But thank you. I don't want to drag trouble to yours.

I've sent her to Hokkaido.

With her brother, they should be gone for at least two or three days.

... so long as I can keep track of what's going on in congress I think I might be able to. I can't be loud or they'll see me

Don't worry. I have a second house in the back where you can hide.

And should you require it, Osaka-san or my other prefectures can hide you.

okay, I trust you! /brofist. Besides it'll be faster to do the inking that way, right?

Yes, it would be.

..... Is Osaka gonna stare at me?

...I still don't know why he stares at England-san the way he does.

But if I tell him this is a private mission, he should leave you alone.

...Got a hunch it's the eyebrows... Maybe.

I used to stare at them too when I was little

and imagine what could live in there

or if they were alive

...They...aren't...are they....?

No, no, they're not but it's fun to imagine they might crawl off his face one day and you'd see his REAL eyebrows underneath!

...They aren't real?

They're real! Don't pull on them, he gets angry

I-I will remember that...

...I have been がまん

....when he sleeps, it is difficult not to sneak in and try to pluck them into proper shape...

...I-I never thought to do that, actually!

...I fear he would wake immediately.

Want me to try? He can't hurt me-- or we could work together !

I'll hold him down... you do your artistic thing!

...If you can arrive by tomorrow, we should be able to make it in time.

I'm on it!!!!

He...seems set upon leaving....

Stall him!!!!

I-I will do my best....!

GAMAN SURU ZO!

...for various reasons

A-ah, r-right...!

yes! I'm in Hawaii so it won't take as long as usual!!

Alright. I will prepare the second house for you to hide in.

....and keep England-san here.

I'm counting on you!!

....I hope he will not be angry...

Nah, blame me, I'll give him the cute eyes-- it never fails.

...(笑)

I have suceeded in hiding his luggage and several of his important things.

You are the best, Japan.

...Ah...I would not say that.

In many ways, this is for my own sake as well.

It doesn't matter xD ok it'll just take 9 hours instead of 13!

Then tomorrow morning?

yep! Sorry I had to take off XD

Please do not worry. I realize you must be busy.

nah... now it's autopilot but I should sleep...

Then please sleep well. I shall see you in the morning for our...mission?

yeah! I'll come in real quiet

not to mention it's night time probably when I'll get there

Alright. I will have Tokyo-san pick you up at the airport. He can drive you here and then we can begin.

!! Have I met Tokyo-san?

... They... won't... be upset that I'm not pera pera right?

Not at all. Tokyo-san is very good at English.

You may have seen him at meetings, but he is quiet, like the rest of us.

ok..... phew.... I haven't used any in a long time and I don't want anymore misunderstandings

I am sure you will be fine, America-san.
