 | A promotion to the position of scary-story-listener... ...Given that I’ve barely shown up other than to poke Italy with a stick, this is quite a breakthrough, isn’t it? |
 | Having been like, “What the hell have you been doing all this time during WW2 besides poking people with sticks?” my country has been a mess. Oh well, it is what it is... |
 | Yeah. So, go easy on me, meow. Someone told me that people will forgive pretty much anything if you tack a “meow” at the end of it, meow. Meow meow, I say. Meow meow. |
| While I was meowing around, I arrived at the scary story room. |
 | By the way, this building was made with countermeasures so that a large number of people can easily evacuate if the electricity goes out or an intruder breaks in or all kinds of other emergencies. |
 | In other words, I should be safe even if the Limey summons something or ‘Murica brandishes his super-strength at me right in the middle of the scary stories... Maybe. |
| So, I want to believe that I won’t get hit right in the face with an American super-ball as soon as I open the door...! |
 | If he tries, I’ll have a little time to knock it away...! |
 | |
 | *jumps* |
| Oh, Bulgaria...! |
| ............ |
 | I-I’m busy, but I showed up anyway. I-I-I-I would like a word of thanks from you! |
 | Okaaay. Thanks! And, thaaanks for those questionable portraits! |
| Not bloody likely! Those were already there when I arrived! I definitely didn’t draw...! |
| Mr. England, don’t you want to draw portraits whenever you see a blackboard? |
 | Ughh, you’ve got it all wrong...! |
| Thanks for the portraits. Thaaanks!! |
 | Excuse me. Ah, Mr. Bulgaria. You’re already here? |
 | Sorry to keep you waiting. Today is the scary story meeting, correct? |
 | Nah, I just got here, too, so it’s no problem at all. This is the scary story place. |
 | Not only that, there’s been some paranormal activity on the blackboard right from the get-go, so let’s show some appreciation for England’s drawings. |
| L... like I said! I’m not the one who drew them! |
 | Hello, Mr. England. Those are... quite adorable drawings, aren’t they? |
 | Yo, Japan. Hmph! They’re not mine, but you could say that. They’re not mine, though! |
 | Hm, you’re already here? |
| Ah, hello, Mr. Ger... |
 | Yaagh!! Germany!! |
 | ...Why do you scream every time you see me...? |
 | W-Why shouldn’t I!? You’re always, always... making me out to be the bad guy, you know? |
 | *sob*… I’m doing my best... |
 | I-I’m not trying to make you out to be the bad guy! |
| Your grades haven’t been so great, so I want you to make more of an effort and work a bit harder. |
 | Ah... I guess... I may have become too forceful in order to rush the results. I’ll be careful from now on... |
 | You mean it!? Thanks! Thanks! |
 | Mr. Germany, you’re being a softy again. We’re all doing our best. Of course you’d sound strict. |
 | Mr. Bul, please just accept it. Think of it as Mr. Germany’s tough love. |
 | Ugh! Please stop dedicating yourself to being the voice of reason!! You’re totally right! |
 | Finland. He has a habit of getting overprotective of even the most pathetic sorts. You have to understand that. |
 | ...Oh. Is that so…!? I’m sorry! Interfering with what Germany likes would be a tactless imitation...! |
 | Oh! But I definitely think it’s more cute to be a bit flawed! Yeah! |
 | Wait a minute! Aren’t you kind of making me sound like a good-for-nothing who’s soft on good-for-nothings!? |
 | That would be so, right? |
 | Th… there’s no way that’s true! ...Hm? |
 | Hey! I heard we were telling scary stories today, but is this meeting place okay!? |
| Huh, Mr. America! Hello th... |
 | Huh? Could that be...! |
Aphr_dite Jones!?
Jer_my Wade…
and Bear Gr_lls, right!?
 | I’m glad you noticed them! I gathered an all-star horror cast for today’s meeting!! |
| But the only horror-ish one is that first one! And aren’t the other two British!? |
 | No problem! Everyone should have high hopes for the scary stories they have to tell! |
| Whoa! Whoa! |
| Oh, Romania said that it’s countries-only this time around, so would you mind having them all leave? |
 | What did you say!? You don’t want to hear their scary stories...!? |
 | Waaaah, I want to hear them! |
| Mr. America, please tell your own international scary story! |
 | ...OK. Gotcha. |
 | That’s all for now, thanks. Aphr_dite... Jer_my... Bear Gr_lls... Everyone, please don’t die. |
 | See you… guys... |
 | This is amazing! It’s the first time I’ve seen them in person! Even though they left right away...! I watch a lot of American TV, so I was so happy! |
 | You got that excited about it...? Speaking of which, the TV shows you make have kind of an easy-going feel to them, Finland... |
 | Yes. Everyone gives them rave reviews saying that if you watch them for so long, your brain will seemingly start melting. |
 | Rave reviews...? |
| I’m sorry, everyone. I came at a bad time. I didn’t greet you, so please allow me to now. |
| Oh, I’m sorry, too! Moi, Mr. Japan! |
 | Hello, Japan! |
| Yo, Japan. Again. |
 | Japan, I’ll leave it to you today. |
 | All... All at once!? ...Thank you. I’m looking forward to the meeting. |
| Hiya, hiya. That’s the second time I’ve greeted you. |
 | Yes, it is the second time. Thank you very much once again. |
| No problemo. |
Bulgaria: So… it’s 20 minutes
past the start time,
but two people aren’t here…
England: Spain is one of them, right?
Don’t get your hopes up about him being on
time to anything that isn’t important business
or somewhere he can show his boss side.
America: I bet he’s sunbathing in a cafe
right about now or something.
Aren’t we about to start?
Bulgaria: Yeaah.
Well then, let’s staaart.
England: Should we really
be starting off the scary stories
so listlessly!?
