1: There's a rose leaf on your shoulder...
2: Ah...

sfx: basah

266)
1: Gyaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!
2: Looks like the leaf surprised him.
3: Where could that have come from..?
4: It must have been from the plant growing in the Grand Master's chamber.
5: Incidentally, we come bringing a message from the Grand Master.

267)
1: Grand Master Rose insists on meeting you no matter what the circumstances, so we have come to plan the details!!
2: Ehh?!
3: What would the master of the economic world want with me...?
4: She wishes to celebrate your son's birth!!

268)
1: I am thankful for the thought,
2: but I must decline!!
3: Dear...
4: I am the politician who was chosen to be the face of the people!!
5: Mistress Rose is a person of the economic world...
6: The government and the economy should not be mixed together any more than is necessary. It's what the people fear the most!!

269)
1: But dear,
2: if they only want to celebrate...
3: It is just as your wife says!!
4: It is true that the people hate when politics and economy mix,
5: Through Mistress Rose's power, however, changing the opinions of the people is possible!!

270)
1: This is why you just shouldn't worry about things like that and meet with Mistress Rose!!
2: Fine!!
3: I don't really feel right about it,
4: but since I've never directly met with Mistress Rose, I feel that I should at least introduce myself to her!

276)
1: Mr. President, are you comfortable?
2: Once we pass the Rocky Mountains, you will be able to see the Arizona Desert!!

277)

2: This area used to be a wasteland, but now it's a complete desert!!
