Video (English; Final Phase of Chip Removal Effects)

[gochuugoku]

[Well, this is an interesting sight. China's smoking opium from his pipe, but at the same time there's smoke coming out his nostrils every now and then. Why? Because... Well, he's got golden scales instead of skin, his pupils have become slits like those of a reptile, his fingernails have turned into claws, and... Is that a scaly tail behind him? He rubs at his temples.]

Aiyaa... What on earth happened this past week? I can't remember.

[His pipe falls from his mouth as he prepares for a sneeze and when he does sneeze a fireball shoots from his mouth, going out the open window and hitting a random Prinny, causing a huge explosion outside. China seems unfazed, though, as he puts his pipe back into his mouth.]

I wonder how my dragon horse is doing. I have not been able to visit her this past week, aru.

...You're part dragon now?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

For now, though I was told that I actually turned into a complete dragon once the last time I was here, aru.

There are worse things I could have turned into.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

You have the situation under control then?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Well, everything except the fire breath.

[He hiccups, causing a small flame to come out his mouth and more smoke is released from his nostrils.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

...Have you tried drinking water for your hiccups?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

No, not yet. But even without the hiccups, fire still comes out of my mouth.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

How long has this been occurring?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

It started just today, I believe. Then I was told that I was a child a few days earlier, aru.

I try not to worry too much, though. They're only after effects from getting my chip removed.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

Just a few more days then...

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

I think this might be the last day actually. They said I was a child for quite awhile, aru.

Either way, I'm finally back to my full potential, or... close to it. [Since he can still, you know, die here.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

Ah... that's good then.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

I just wish the transition could be smoother. [He twirls his pipe in his clawed hand.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

There have been worse side effects.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, I've seen them happen. It's just that I wish it wasn't common for Nations to turn into children again... [He looks out the window.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

That seems to only occur to nations as well.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Exactly. I wish it would not have happened to me, aru. [Still looking out the window.]

I'm afraid that it might have revealed things that I didn't want people to know of.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

...I didn't speak with you during that time, so I haven't learned any information.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[He sighs.]

That is fine. I can't do anything about the people who have, though. [He rests his chin on an open palm.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

That seems to be the case.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

I just... did not want others to see me in such a vulnerable state, aru. [He puts his pipe back in his mouth and takes a few puffs from it.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

[He isn't quite sure what to say to him.] ...You just have to continue on.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

That, is what I have always been doing. I know better than anyone that's all you can do.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

Then you're aware that there's no use dwelling on it.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

I was not expecting myself to actually experience such a transformation, though. I heard others talk about it, but I didn't think it would actually happen to me, aru.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

[...] Right, but there's nothing you can do about it now.
