episode 017 [video; March 2nd]

[starfruitfrog]

[Welcome, everyone! You might be wondering: What’s happening? Is this another weird frog thing again?

Well, that’s a good question! In fact, if the paper letters stapled to the sky-blue background are any indication, this is a place where you can ask all of your questions! And someone is actually going to answer them.

KERO-SAN’S MAGICAL QUESTION JOURNEY~



All of the ‘O’s have been mysteriously replaced with cutouts of stars. (Not that mysterious though, really. Keroro’s running this show. He likes his stars.)

And look, kids! Here comes Keroro Kero-san now! From the bottom of the screen pops a small green puppet that bears a striking resemblance to a certain green alien.] Welcome, kids!

[Beside him, another puppet pops up, this one is red and has a scar across one of its eyes like a certain red daruma ruthless alien invader frog. When the puppet’s mouth moves it speaks in a falsetto that’s actually a little weird sounding. Like whoever was behind the voice was trying too hard to not sound like themselves.] W-welcome! [What the hell is with the kids thing, Keroro!? There are a lot of adults on this network, you know!!]

[Call him Kero-san, you idiot! And the kids show vibe is to make this whole experience relatable and friendly! (To who, Keroro...?)] Ah, Giro-san! Do you know what day it is today, de arimasu~? [and without even waiting for a response, Kero-san cuts in, smacking Giro-san in the face with his tiny cotton hand] It’s the very first Kero-san’s Magical Question Journey Network Show~

...what’s with that stupid name? [Spoken in Giroro’s regular voice, but in a whisper that he hopes the communicator wouldn’t be able to catch. Then he clears his voice because, right. He needed to stay in character didn’t he? And then in that forced falsetto again:] I mean...wow, really?

[He’s ignoring you, Giro-san. Everything that’s said out of character will be ignored from now on.] Yes, really! Today the topic of our show is.... Let’s Learn Abouuuuuut.... KERON! That’s right, everyone! The green and yellow planet of Keroro and Giroro’s universe, Keron. The beautiful 58th planet of the Gamma Large Nebula! So come with your questions, and we will answer them!

Perhaps! For instance, Giroro-san, the thought of travel between planets is very new to me. So when I hear about it, it's... exciting.

Children like that kind of thing. [ right? maybe? ]

[this_is_keron]

I see. I hadn't thought about that.

...and it's Giro-san.

[yoichi]

Right, right. So, Giro-san — what is your planet like?

[this_is_keron]

The planet Keron is very similar to Pekopon...the planet humans know as Earth. Except it doesn't have any seas or oceans.

[ Yoichi nods at first, but then he remembers that Giroro and Keroro are, essentially, deadly frog aliens. At least, as far as he can tell. ]

Do you not submerge yourselves in bodies of water?

[this_is_keron]

Not unless we're swimming or taking a bath. Keronians are terrestrial.

[yoichi]

I see...

[ that does on second thought make more sense. ]

Oh! [ he almost forgot. ] I found a bow, Giro-san.

[this_is_keron]

Really?

[Because weapons are obviously more interesting than whatever they were talking about before.]

video.

[yoichi]

Yes, from a shop that sells antique weapons.

[ Yoichi, you're an antique. and yes, weapons are way better. ]

When you have time — I'll take you up on your challenge. The shooting range should accommodate for older firearms, should it not?

[this_is_keron]

[Hey, antiques weapons are the best weapons.]

I look forward to it. [It's like Christmas came early for him.]
