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.

[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.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[He just sighs and studies one of his clawed hands, not saying a word.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

...I'll leave you to your own devices then.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Wait. [He looks back at the camera.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

What is it?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[He cracks a smile.]

How have things been, Commander?

[Mood swing much?]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

[He notices, but he won't comment about that.]

...Just the normal here.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Hopefully the "good normal."

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

...Nothing drastic has happened to me.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Same, minus these chip after effects.

I have also remembered some more things from my previous stays, aru.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

What memories have you regained?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Well, I remember your sister, we did speak a few times while she was here, you know?

And... And I also remembered how upset I was when Japan returned home before he came back from 2011. [He swallows down a small lump in his throat.]

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

[He nods.]

...Are you going to speak with Japan soon?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Yes, I plan on leaving him a message. Hopefully he will respond at some point, aru.

[Video]

[nameofexorcist]

He usually does.
