Denmark’s magic words

 

 

 

 

 


 


 

This is how battles on the ice usually turn out, so in general it’s best not to risk it, but when they succeed it’s pretty cool. Upon seeing the Swedish army marching towards them on the ice, it seems that the Danish army promptly lost their will to fight. By the way, Sweden was in a terrible mood because Russia had his arm around Finland’s shoulders at the time.

The manga kind of gives the impression that Norway is completely disinterested in Denmark, but they were actually working quite well together at the time and I think it was pretty nice.

Many years later, after Norway had been oppressed by the more powerful country, he and Denmark drifted apart. When Norway entered a union with Sweden, Denmark sent him a letter or something in which he threw a childish tantrum and cut their ties, after which the goodwill towards Norway seemed strangely decreased, but that’s another story.

 

Things got a little better for him later, thanks to Denmark.

There are clouds of smog passing through Mr. Hong Kong’s house
and because of this, a sightseeing area I’ve been waiting a long time to see and the opposite shore couldn’t be seen.
Since it can’t be helped I’m preparing to take a ton of photos during the days with nice weather.
For now, I’ve sort of removed the photographs and I went and inserted this in a bit of a bold manner.

Things Like Watermelons, Tomatoes, and UFOs

I’m sorry for having been so late reporting this.

I’m sorry for the updates having completely stopped the past few days.
Also, I am just so sorry for having worried you too much…
I had an awful time after having such a long cold.
If there’s a vaccination yet, everyone should go get it.

I have put a page up on the site for Christmas trivia comics.
I want to tidy up my work a little today,
so I plan to update around tomorrow.
I have a feeling that I can finish the ending relatively easily.

I’m sorry for having worried you so dreadfully.
Thank you for your concerned mail.

The String-Puller’s appearance!!

■At the meeting to think about Europe’s economy…■

“String puller Germany”

There is lately a rumour going around in European newspaper and internet
“As Greece joined the EU, Germany clearly predicted the current situation!”
And based on that the theory: Well, was it Germany’s doing after all?

I also feel like the moment the string-puller kept receiving Greek cannons, they were disqualified as the string-puller.

The EU and Turkey

Because now that the mutual economy has become severe in the Greece crisis,
Turkey and Greece said, “Let’s reduce war funds by Isse no se!”*
They mutually loosened up their attitude of being wary of each other a bit.

[T/N: *Isse no se (いっせーのせ), also known as Yubisuma (指スマ), is a number-guessing hand game played by more than one person. Played at the speed of rock-paper-scissors, one player has to guess the total number of thumbs held up by the other players and themselves. After their guess, right or wrong, another player gets to guess, and so on. If a player guesses correctly, they win and they put one of their hands behind their back. If they win the second time, they’re out. Last one with at least one hand is the loser. (the purpose can be used similarly to pulling straws)]

From the very start Turkey has made an appeal that they want to join the EU, but they still haven’t let him in.

Even after they turned into a minus after the Lehman shock, they worked hard in 2010 and 2011 including the very good economic growth rate (Although there still are a lot of trade deficits…). He is starting to become so close with EU members that they are freely trading with each other, so Turkey is becoming quite noticed.

But it is sad that even though they had requested to join since the 1970s, other countries that requested to join later have joined faster than them. Even in tourist resorts, Turkish guides will squeeze this story in suddenly while they’re talking.
