[Hopefully by now, most people on Fortuna have somehow received a prettily wrapped package containing four different varieties of home-made mooncake outside their doorstep. Those within Discedo had them hand-delivered; everyone else...hope they made it...]

Hey everyone! I know things have been really crazy recently, but if you have a chance [pause] and are in someplace where it's safe to do it [pause...], you should definitely go outside and take a look up at the moon! If you squint really closely, maybe you'll see Chang'e ( 嫦娥), the moon goddess who lives there, or the Jade Rabbit making medicine!

[A soft, kind of wistful laugh] At least, that's what I would say if we were at home...

Anyway, I hope all my packages made it safely, but even if it's not the same moon, you can definitely still eat the mooncake! There's 4 kinds: lotus-paste, red bean, green tea, and chocolate! Just for variety.

I included egg-yolk in a few of them, but you don't have to eat it if you don't like it.

[Oh wait...] Yeah, and I guess it's China's birthday tomorrow too.

祝你生日快樂，老師！ You're still old, by the way!

Oh, and I don't care if you changed to simplified, you're still going to have to get all your greetings in traditional from me! [Yes, Taiwan did just stick her tongue out in the video. How mature.]

Like cats being able to see spirits and things like that...

Oh, like animals being able to sense when ghosts are around? I've heard of stuff like that.

Yeah! Kind of like how black cats and witches always seem to go together!

Oh, those are called...familiars, right? Maybe that's why they were created. 'Cos animals can be so weird.

Eheh, yeah, maybe! I kind of wish England or Germany were here for me to ask... I don't know as much about these things in European mythology...

Oh, we learn about that stuff in class all the time. They're supposed to be demons that witches have with them.

...you learn this kind of thing in class?

[She's still unsure about exactly what he learns in school...]

Like...for real? Not just in stories?

Wel, we learn the stories. But we've got whole classes on that, yeah! My school's...weird like that.

Do you know what you want to do after you're done with school?

Nah, I'm not really sure. I guess I got kind of sidetracked being here for so long, haha.

You're still pretty young though, right? I guess you've got lots of time!

I was just wondering...if your school teaches that kind of thing...

Ha, my school's really weird. I don't even think it's really a school most of the time.

Huh? Not a school? What else could it be then?

I'm not even sure. There's some crazy stuff there- stuff I haven't seen anywhere outside that place. It's way too big to just be holding kids.

What? Do you go to school in like...a haunted mansion or something like that?

Haha, even crazier than that! It is probably haunted though. I've heard a bunch of people say there's ghosts, and I can believe it.

Y-you're not scared to be going to school with a bunch of ghosts...?

I've seen some really crazy stuff there already! And I mean, after being in this place...I don't think there's anything I can't take now.

...y-yeah, I guess this place does prepare you for the crazy and weird things...

Ha, I think I'd be okay if God fell from the sky or something at this rate.

W-what?! I think that might be pushing it-!

[Taiwan, you try so hard to pretend to be sophisticated...]

Hey, I'm just using an example! But you never know around here. Haha!

...do you think it might've happened already? A god or mythical being appearing here? I mean, we already have a phoenix...
