the stomach

arrived at the temple and checked the
priest's body

kenshiki was
but he was a little too proud out of it
that's a bit of a problem but that's
fine i just prepare
your medicine as such so please send
somebody to pick up the medicine from my
place later

today
oh what is it um
i overheard the word kenshiki when you
are checking my
master's body and i would like to know
what it is
oh i see so you want to know what
kenshiki is
yes i what does that mean oh well
gas what do you mean by gas
well in other words it's also known as fat
fat what do you mean by father
you should surely know what father is
you you mean that thing that comes out
of your butt yes it usually comes out of
your butt not from your ears or something
something
you mean that smelly thing yes it's
usually got strong smell
but the silent ones are the most
dangerous so
watch out you mean that yellow thing
i don't know if it's got color but tension
tension
is fat dog don't make fun of me i'm not making
making
fun of it here it appears in an old
medical book
so uh tenishki means fat
oh my goodness this is the worst day of
my life
this year means far so just i've been
running around all over the place to
borrow fat
and then flower shop may say something
really strange
they had two fences and one of them
looked really
beautiful so they gave it to their
friend as a gift to decorate the room
and then the other one looked really tasty
tasty
so they put in missiles over and again
this body

missile soup so that
means the flower shop man does not know
what it means
and that also means my master probably
does not know what
it means either okay

him kenshiki is a psychic up
and if he says use the three to excuse
