"I was listening to everything perfectly fine."

Is there a problem?

Guan Gu Shenqi sighed and said.

"No problem, you can eat yours."

…………

At night, everyone gathered together to chat and watch variety shows unique to the island nation.

Putting aside national issues, variety shows from island nations are indeed very interesting. Although they may still be scripted in advance, they are very daring in their approach.

Actors who participate in variety shows have the awareness of being actors!

In contrast, most actors in domestic variety shows seem to be putting on airs, with overly obvious acting, resulting in a lack of audience engagement.

This is why domestic variety shows have significant limitations; when people watch a variety show, they are mainly there for their favorite celebrities.

This is also why variety shows can't last long, because once a celebrity leaves, they immediately take a large number of fans with them, and there is no connection between the fans and the variety show itself.

The variety show you are watching now is a prank show that has been around in Japan for a long time. The famous scene of being shot for stealing a wallet comes from this show.

"Guan Gu, aren't you guys watching the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve?"

Guan Gu Shenqi turned his head and said.

"First of all, we don't call it New Year's Eve here, we call it the Great Dark Day."

"Secondly, I do watch variety shows normally, but I just don't like them."

"If you want to see, I can switch channels."

Hu Yifei quickly interrupted.

"Need not!"

"This variety show is pretty good!"

Just then, Zhuge Dasheng asked curiously.

"Princess, what are the New Year customs in your Xiba Kingdom?"

Lee Boo-jung began to speak.

"Our country also celebrates the Lunar New Year on New Year's Day."

"Overall, it doesn't feel much different from traditional Chinese customs."

"No, there is one thing that is very different!"

"In China, red envelopes are given during the Lunar New Year, but our country is more accustomed to using white envelopes."

Lin Wanyu paused for a moment before speaking.

"Giving red envelopes during Chinese New Year... wait, I mean white envelopes?"

"Something feels off."

"However, every country has its own customs. Even if I don't understand them, I respect them."

Just then, the sound of bells came from outside.

Guan Gu Shenqi said with a smile.

"The New Year's bells have rung."

"Alright, Happy New Year everyone!"

New Year's Day, which is the island nation's New Year.

Today, everyone got up very early because there is a local custom of getting up early, which is somewhat similar to the custom of paying New Year's visits early on the first day of the Lunar New Year in China.

Everyone exchanged blessings, and Ms. Ogawa also specially prepared small animals cut out of red paper for everyone.

It's a little monkey, and it coincides with 2016 being the Year of the Monkey.

In fact, when Lin Yun received the paper-cutting, he was already thinking about something.

Is the Year of the Dragon not very popular in island nations? Is it because dragons sound difficult to cut?

After finishing breakfast, Guan Gu Shenqi spoke.

"Today is the Japanese New Year, how about I take everyone out for a stroll?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun understood their concerns, so he smiled and explained.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

"If something happens, will I still be able to sit at Guan Gu's house and spend this Japanese New Year?"

Upon reflection, everyone realized that it did indeed make sense...

Yesterday, no one suggested going shopping; everyone just stayed home watching variety shows. This was because of concerns about that.

But since Lin Yun has said there's no problem, then there must be no problem.

So, after finishing the meal, the makeup session began.

As usual, Lin Yun remained calm in the face of this situation.

But today, he kept coming into the house to urge him on, clearly indicating that he had something urgent to do.

The girls understood this, so their makeup time was shortened... by a tiny bit.

Finally, before reaching Lin Yun's bottom line, the girls changed their clothes and were ready.

Guan Gu Shenqi said with a smile.

"I'll take everyone there first..."

Lin Yun interrupted.

"Let's go, we're heading straight to Tokyo."

Guan Gu Shenqi paused for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Uh, that works too."

"It seems like there's an Awa Odori performance in Tokyo today."

"We can go and take a look."

Awa Odori is a traditional dance of an island nation.

Actually, it was fine when it was first introduced to the island nation, but after the island nation localized it, it became very strange.

It turned into an alternative dance with people wearing headscarves and loincloths.

A renowned short video historian once analyzed that the historical reason for the emergence of this dance might be that the island nation's relatively small land area made it difficult to perform large-scale dances.

On the way, Guan Gu Shenqi also talked about the recent changes in island nation culture.

Having grown up in an island nation, he has a lot to say on this matter.

Guan Gu Shenqi pointed out that there are now major problems with Japanese animation.

In the past, Japanese anime often drew inspiration from positive themes such as friendship and love.

However, most Japanese anime these days draw their power from things like phantoms, demons, monsters, curses, and evil spirits.

In other words, compared to before, islanders now believe more strongly that they can draw strength from ugliness.

It's unclear whether someone is deliberately guiding things or if it's simply a matter of history.

Although their journey involved crossing cities, Yokohama is adjacent to Tokyo, and the island nation itself is not very large, so it didn't take much time.

After encountering traffic congestion upon entering Tokyo, the group switched to walking and quickly reached their destination.

When Guan Gu Shenqi saw Lin Yun stop there, he was genuinely a little flustered.

Shale looked around curiously.

"Why are there so many people here?"

Are there any standard buildings?

Guan Gu swallowed hard and said.

"Go that way, there's a shrine."

"It's the place that everyone in the apartment building always calls the toilet."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, and then they all became excited.

Lu Zhanbo went straight to Lin Yun's side and said excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, is there something big going on next?"

"Should we burn down this island nation's toilets?"
