Some pickles for you.KEIJI: Oh, thank you….Wait, why are you giving methis?SHOKICHI: It’s a present!KEIJI: Thanks. Let’s share some…oh, it doesn’t openSHOKICHI: You know, sometimes jars can be alittle tough…KEIJI: You gave me this because you can’t open it?SHOKICHI: Maybe…*Keiji stares at him*…Yes.AKARI: Hi Captain, Keiji!.. .what are you doing?SHOKICHIAND KEIJI: Tough jarAKARI: Oh there’s a trick for that. Gimme.SHOKICHI: What are you going to do?AKARI: You just need to hit softly the base and then…..andthen……and then….KEIJI: And then…?AKARI: *smiles* It won’t open.
They can hear someone snorting and asthey look behind, Alex and Marcos are looking at them in a very condescendingway.
MARCOS: You Japanese people used to have tons of toolsfor such simple actions.ALEX: Let us show you how to make things our way…TheMexican way!MARCOS: The way of people able to open cans with theirteeth just to fill their stomachs with something.ALEX: Even if it’s dog food.AKARI: Well, enlighten usKEIJI: We trust youSHOKICHI: Show us what you got.MARCOS: it’s well known that if you want to open a jarthe best thing to do is to hit softly the lid against something.See?…HNGGGGGNHH…SEE?AKARI: I’m only seeing a closed jar.KEIJI: Are you sure that works?MARCOS:Of course!….Alex, it doesn’t work.ALEX: You’re being too rude! The lid is combing, ofcourse it won’t open. Give that to me.MARCOS: And what are you going to do mister “I think I’ma genius opening jars”ALEX: Well, I’m going to open it….MARCOS: So?ALEX: Just a little bit moreAKARI: We’re waiting.KEIJI: You know? I don’t even like pickles that much,but this has become personal.SHOKICHI: I really feel like eating picklesright now.AKARI: Alex?ALEX: This is impossible
They keep trying to open it usingdifferent methods for a while. Just when they’re about to give up, Amelia andMichelle bump into them.
AMELIA: What’s that?SHOKICHI: A jarKEIJI: A tough pickle jar. We couldn’t open it.MARCOS AND ALEX: Keiji! Don’t say that, you’re making us look bad.MICHELLE: Oh don’t worry, you already lookbad enough for us.SHOKICHI: OuchAMELIA: There’s a very useful trick I know. Can I try?KEIJI: Of course, but we’ve already tried everythingand…
Amelia takes a rubber band she’swearing around her wrist and puts it around the lid. After just one try and effortlessly,the jar is open.
AMELIA: Increasing friction always helpsMARCOS: Meh, you only were able to open it because we alreadyleft it weakened. Right, guys?AKARI: Of course, it was thanks to usALEX: We’ve been about to do it, you just had to dothe easiest part. Don’t you think, Keiji?KEIJI: I supposeSHOKICHI: Can we stop arguing and starteating?AMELIA: Well, yeah. Probably you’re right.MICHELLE: *takes the jar from Amelia’s hands*So you’re telling us that Amelia just opened it because you alreadydid all the job.MARCOS: More or less…yes.MICHELLE: Ooooooh, that’s interesting. Sothen, you wouldn’t mind if by any chance the jar is closed again, right?AKARI: Michelle-san, please. Don’t do itMICHELLE: Don’t do what, Akari?AKARI: Cloe the j…MICHELLE: Woops…my hand slipped. Now I guessyou have to open it again. But I don’t think that would be a problem for you. Right,“tough” guys?

Thanks a lot for asking!I’ve been busy but I managed to finally draw something thanks to carrying my sketchbook when I have to travel by train that is….everyday :___DSorry for the crappy phone picture, it’s not like I did a lot of details eitherway. I drew the both of them together because when I saw the poses you asked for, i instarly pictured them teasing Akari with Michelle.

Any tips on language learning? A bunch of you know a few.
Akari: Golive some time to the place in which the language you want to learn is theofficial one. That how I managed to speak English.Alex: Iagree, the same happened to me and Marcos, right?Marcos:*nods* When you have to ask for charity in another language it’s a piece ofcake to learn it.Eva: Readingalso helps a lotAkari:that’s true! I go to the library at least once a week to get some booksEva: Alsohaving to talk with people who can only understand you using said language is aplus.Alex: As ithappen between us, we can only understand each other speaking in English, andit can get very fun sometimes.Marcos: Likewhen your Japanese friend mispronounces “beach” and “bitch” and one of thegirls slaps himAkari: it’snot my fault that they’re so similar, ok? Mi face still hurts when I thinkabout it.Alex: It wasgreat, man. He had the mark of her hand on the face the rest of the day.Eva: So itwas you? Oh gosh, they came to the room saying an asshole insulted them.Akari: itwasn’t my intention!Marcos: Thebest thing is that he keeps making the same mistakeAlex: Heavoids saying that word so instead of to the beach, we usually go swimming*laughs*Akari: Wellit serves its purpose, right? You understand meEva: Don’tbe so hard on him, English pronuntation might be hard when you’re not used toit.Akari: Thankyou, EvaEva:Besides, it’s funny to see him so embarrassed, so let him be *smiles*Akari: You’repue evil under that “good girl” mask, you know?
