Nihao! It has come to my attention that this year, or rather, in the year of 2012, the date for the Dragon Boat Festival is June twenty-third.

Activities for the Dragon Boat Festival include eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, and racing dragon boats. There is also a game where one tries to make an egg stand at exactly noon, and if you succeed you will have luck for the next year.

I would like to bring this traditional Chinese holiday to Fortuna, especially the boat races if it is safe to go rowing on the lake, aru. Then of course I will prepare plenty of zongzi for others to eat.

No problem, leave it to us!

[gochuugoku]

[He smiles.]

Xie xie. I'm sure this will help brighten things up, especially after that entire pollen incident.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Y-yeah, that was...

Um...anyway, do you need me to bring anything over? Refreshments or prizes or anything like that?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

I did not think about prices. What ideas did you have?

[Video]

[meilihua]

I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that... I mean, it's hard to find really good prizes here... maybe I could make something?

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Would you like me to help you with that?

[Since you are helping him plan his wedding, sis. He can help you with this.]

[Video]

[meilihua]

[No way, you're the one planning the whole boat race thing!!] I think I can figure it out.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Alright, but you are always welcome to ask me later on.

Actually... [He remembers something.] During the Lantern Festival, you said you and Luffy found more rice, yes? Do you remember where it was?

[They're going to need a lot of rice for the cooking, after all.]

[Video]

[meilihua]

...I really hope Luffy didn't eat it all...

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[He chuckles.] I hope the same thing.

If he did, then I'm sure we can find more elsewhere.

[He misses Luffy... Ace, too.]

[Video]

[meilihua]

I'll go look for it in a little bit!

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Let me come with you. That way I can find more rice to plant in my rice paddy fields

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Ugh, so uncool, having to walk around with big bro...]

Oh, all right...

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

You... don't want me to come? [It's more of a statement, though.]

[Video]

[meilihua]

I-it's not that!

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

What is it then? [There's no anger in his voice for once!]

[Video]

[meilihua]

Well, I haven't...been back there since Luffy...

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

Even more reason for me, or someone we know, to go with you. That way you will not be all alone should trouble find you.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[She would feel a lot safer with China with her, but she can't help thinking about how she'd been right there with him when she'd died...] A-all right...

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[Don't remind him, because he's thinking of that too... which is why he suddenly becomes down.]

...Or perhaps it would be better if you have someone else take you.

[Video]

[meilihua]

[Well, if he's going to be like that about it!] NO! You better be the one to take me, Teacher, or I'll go by myself.

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

[No! Don't go alone!] A-Alright, I will!

[Video]

[meilihua]

Good! [Oh wait, she just promised to go with Teacher didn't she...]

[Video]

[gochuugoku]

...Should we go now? I will have Xi Shi come with us too.

[Video]

[meilihua]

Oh, okay. Where should I meet you two?
