17 [Action for House 44 | Voice]

[miniaturization]

[Hello, House 44 and its surrounding areas, do you hear that cracking sound? Or is it more of a resounding crash? Because a small Japanese man just fell through your roof screaming bloody murder, and now he's rolled down the stairs and is sitting, dazed, in the living room.]

......Oh, I'm intruding.

....I should...go now....

[And despite having fallen two stories, he tries to get back up and leave.]

[Voice: late evening]

It would seem I am back now. Thank you to whomever looked after Pochi-kun.

.....Ah...If I may inquire as to the well-being of the village? I fear I've been gone for some time...

[miniaturization]

[....He always has to ask though. It's in his nature.

> PRESENT RECEIVED: UMBRELLA ADDED TO INVENTORY]

Ah...Thank you. I apologize for making Rise-san come all this way in the cold. Would you like some tea before you go?

[analyzing]

[Is the prize for the umbrella sidequest tea...]

Nah. You just got back, didn't you?

[miniaturization]

[Yes.... Unless you would like melon bread instead.]

...It is no bother if that is what Rise-san is concerned about.

[analyzing]

[...does it have MP healing properties.

But still, imposing upon someone who'd just gotten back from a mallynapping is not something that she's the type to do (even if it's Japan who's ended up in her bathroom once) so she'll shake her head.]

I'll pass. There's still somewhere else I need to stop by.

[miniaturization]

[Possibly.

Augh that bathroom... Please do not remind him. He will sink into the floor and try to become one with the piping.]

Ah...If that is Rise-san's decision. Thank you for the umbrella. I will return it as soon as the snow lets up.

[analyzing]

[And we can have Japanese piping...

She shakes her head, though.]

No need. There's plenty more where that one came from anyway.

[miniaturization]

[Top class piping...

He bows to her.]

Your kindness is greatly appreciated, Rise-san.

[analyzing]

[Top class pricing as well too.]

Yeah. Well, I'd better get going...do you think you'll be okay on your own, Japan-san?

[miniaturization]

[Hey, you pay for quality, aight.]

....?

[Oh right. Falling through a roof.]

Yes. Falling through the roof was an interesting experience, but it is not as strange as having buckets dropped on you out of thin air. These things happen from time to time.

[analyzing]

[Can we opt for something cheaper please.]

Oh...really? [just what.] Sounds like you've been having quite an interesting time.

[miniaturization]

[Only if you want it to break in a few years...! But yeah, probably.]

....When you are allies with Italy-kun, many things happen. ...And then with America-san. ...And France-san.

[He sighs. He swears, the rest of the world is insane.] A-ah, I fear I am keeping you from your other errands. I thank you for your help, Rise-san. This will help me a great deal.

[analyzing]

[She swears that he has the weirdest stories. But oh well.]

No problem, that's what friends do, right? You take care now.

[miniaturization]

[That...isn't even a weird one. He bows to her.]

Yes, thank you, Rise-sa-- [Whoa, what, friends? Friends? omg he's friends with Rise.....]

....!

Y-yes, t-thank y-you....
