THE SUN IS SHINING!!

Helloooo! Special delivery--!!

Hm?

Ah, a bon gift for the Emperor.

*Bon, or Obon, is a lantern festival to honor the departed

What is it, what is it!?

Wow, this is some really high level Napoleon brandy!
(wow, amazing, musta cost a ton)

You sure are lucky, Emperor!

Awesome...

This is the not the kind of bon gift I want. --Thought the emperor.

p121
Ham.

Safflower juice.

Beef.

These are some bon gifts alright.

No one even understands me the slightest. --Thought the emperor.

The emperor became ill-tempered.
(grrrr)

The reason being that the sweets he likes so much, have not come even once as a bon gift.

p122
Another gift for the emperor.

What's this, it's so tiny.

Oh, It's just a bar of sweet potato paste!
(twitch)
Who sent this? A bar of sweet potato paste is such a cheap gift. Some people...

Even though most people have sent hams, or Napoleon brandy...

The emperor simply couldn't help being overjoyed about these sweets!

At last one person who understands me!

Who could have sent this? --Thought the emperor.

(from Deroi)

Deroi.

p123
I must meet with this Deroi, and thank him! --Thought the emperor.

I wonder what kind of person Deroi is.

The emperor's mental image of Deroi.
(jersey)
(sweets)

Since this person sent me sweets, I bet we share the same hobbies! --Thought the emperor.

Pudding Empire bachelor dorm, Wakabaso.

Emperor!

Deroi? He's here, but...

He's in room 302.
(room 302)

p124
I am kind of anxious! --Thought the emperor.

Should I go back? --Thought the emperor.

But, I want to meet this Deroi, who seems to understand me.

Deroi is on the other side of this door.

(Deroi)

What should I do? --Thought the emperor.

--End of GOGO! Pudding Empire 1--
