Surprisingly Playful
Scalding Sands - Camel Bazaar
Cater
Hm? What’s that blue pot there for?
Trey
Looks like there’s all sorts of sizes being sold. What purpose could it possibly fulfill?
Jamil
They have a wide variety of purposes including storing grain, coffee beans or tea leaves, and for displaying flowers…
Besides using it as a regular container, this pot is also used to ward off evil.
Trey
To ward off evil?
Jamil
When the youth was running from place to place to evade his pursuers in the folktale1…
It is said that he had evaded danger by turning over a blue pot to hide in it.
Najma
We have these blue pots placed in front of our house too.
It’s said to be able to get rid of evils that originate from outside.
Grim
I don’t believe a single bit that mere pots like these would have such incredible powers.
Hup! Heave! Heave! Ho!
Najma
You can’t climb onto the mouth of the pot! If you do that, something bad will…
*Slip!*
Grim
Umyamyagh?!
Cater
Gri-Gri fell into the pot! Although, considering he did fall into the river earlier, I guess we could say he didn’t betray our expectations after all.
Grim
Help me~! Yuu, pull me out of it!
Malleus
Do not spoil him. This should be his punishment for making a fool of an item that is treasured by the people of the Scalding Sands.
Jamil
You better learn from this and stop with your mischief, Grim.
Najma
As if you’re one to speak, Jamil. Didn’t you climb into a pot just like that back when we were kids?
Jamil
Ugh…!
Malleus
This behaviour is expected from Grim, but for Viper… I cannot think of a reason why he would do so.
Najma
You see, he hid in one of these pots to avoid our mother when she was mad at him.
He’d stay in the overturned pot and scurry away so that she couldn’t find him…
I remember it so clearly because when I saw that, I was so shocked that I screamed “The pot grew legs!”
Trey
Oh really? Can’t imagine the current Jamil doing that at all.
Cater
For reals! How adorable~ ♪
Jamil
Th-That happened when I was still little!
Najma
Ah! I actually have a photo of that. Would you all like to have a look?
Jamil
Wh-Why do you have such a thing?! Stop! Don’t show it!
Najma
Ahaha, just kidding~ There’s no way I’d have photos of you as a kid on hand.
Jamil
Grrr…
Grim
Enough of that, let me out instead!!
Trey
C’mon, hold still. I’m getting you out now.
Grim
Th-That was horrible…
Jamil
Thanks to you, I ended up getting caught in the crossfire! Seriously…!
Malleus
…Grim.
Grim
What?
Malleus
Why have you been tailing me since earlier?
Grim
Wahaha~! Since it’s hot out, I’m staying under your shadow as we walk to stay cool!
That’s Grim the Genius for you~!
Malleus
……
*Poof!*
Grim
Umyamya?! Malleus just disappeared?!
*Malleus reappears behind Grim*
Grim
…Ah! When did you get behind me?!
Obey me and let me stand in your shadow!
Malleus
Of course, I don’t mind. On the condition that you’re able to go around and reach behind me, that is.
*Poof!*
Grim
FnaAAAGH!!!
Trey
…Malleus is teasing Grim, isn’t he.
Cater
He’s got a surprisingly playful side to him after all~
Grim
Fnyaaa… I’m so tired… It’s scalding hot…
Trey
Hey, now. That’s only because you got carried away with running about.
Jamil
And noon has just passed as well. The sun’s rays are at their strongest at this time.
Trey
I’m sweating and starting to feel thirsty too.
Najma
If so, would you like to have some coconut juice? It can also cool you off in a split second!
Trey
Local coconut juice? I definitely want to try that out.
Cater
I was recommended it by Kalim who loves coconut juice too~
Jamil
Luckily, we have a coconut juice stall that we visit regularly. We’ll get our juice from there.
Notes
- Take a shot everytime Jamil says 花火大会の伝承 (lit. the fireworks festival’s legend) when he makes a reference to Aladdin. (Return to text)
