Keroro Gunso (Sergeant Keroro) Volume 1 Chapter 4 Sergeant's House Examination - Page 55 - Chapter 4 : Sergeant's House Examination Dango: Sergeant Sergeant Sergeant (...is it too late?! Did I make it in time?!) - Page 56 - Natsumi: Y-you're kidding, right?!! I am TOTALLY opposed to this!!! Mother: What are you talking about? We're family, it's natural. Natsumi: Fami... Great... so you've already put him at that stage... But Mama! If you give him his own room... Who knows what he could... Mother: That's exactly it! Natsumi: Huhhh? Mother: You'd never get a chance to see an alien's private room, would you? Kero-chan's mysterious and secretive personal life... Doesn't it give you the shivers just thinking about it?! - Page 57 - Natsumi: Fine! I don't care what happens! Mother: Oh, but that's the interesting part! Fuyuki: Lucky you, huh Sergeant? Keroro: What sort of planning conference was that? Fuyuki: Mama says she'll give you your very own room. Keroro: Ribbit?! Fuyuki: I'm jealous, I just got my own not too long ago. Keroro: {MY... OWN...?} ["Own"... that word symbolized status for any soldier.] Then it must be 3 times the size of a normal room! Fuyuki: (well...) I don't know about that... Natsumi: What an impertinent little thing...!! Fuyuki: Natsumi! - Page 58 - Fuyuki: {Yikes... It's like her anger is actualizing itself into matter!! (I can see it... I can SEE it!)} Natsumi: I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT STUPID FREELOADER IS SO FULL OF HIMSELF SO WHAT IF HE HAS HIS OWN ROOM I HAVE MY OWN ROOM TOO SO THERE Fuyuki: {S-Sergeant!! Don't make too big of a deal about it, or Natsumi will go nuts...! Oh no... He's doing it too!} Keroro: KEHEHEHEHE WELL IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT I GET SUCH SPECIAL TREATMENT CONSIDERING THAT CAPTAIN MAMA IS SO ENRAPTURED WITH ME WHY I HAPPEN TO BE SO POPULAR THAT IT'S REALLY NO SURPRISE Oh? Natsumi-dono, what a pleasant surprise! Fuyuki: {N-no, don't do it...!} Keroro: Would you like a special invitation to observe my personal room on the morn of its completion? (Hmm?) - Page 59 - Keroro: (smoosh...) Natsumi: I'm not going to disobey Mama's decision. Just don't bring anything weird in the house!! Fuyuki: Sergeant!! Oh well, it took her a really long time to get her own room. Mama's really strict, you know. Keroro: Heh... jealous, is she...? Well, of course she's envious of me. Fuyuki: SYMPATHY SUSPENDED So this is going to be your room! Keroro: RIBBIT! I am so very excited! - Page 60 - Fuyuki: {Actually, I've never been in here before...} There aren't any windows and it's got some water damage... So we've only been using it as a storage room... I... it's kinda hard... to describe the atmosphere in here... Keroro: Fuyuki-dono!! Fuyuki: (a big fish tank?) Keroro: Look at this delightful pattern on the wall! Fuyuki: HUH?! Natsumi: This is your first time in here, right Fuyuki...? - Page 61 - Natsumi: The reason Mama was able to buy this house in the center of the city... Is basically because of this room... Fuyuki: What does that mean?! What's in here?! Natsumi: Hehehehe, better that you don't know. Well, I wouldn't be surprised at what could happen! Besides, who cares what happens to that alien? Oh well. I'll be praying for your SAFETY, at least FOR NOW. Fuyuki: W-what should we do, Sergeant? Do you think we should... go back to my room? Keroro: The moderate humidity has made my skin moist and glistening... I am taken by this room! - Page 62 - Mother: How is it, Kero-chan? Do you like it? Keroro: It is splendid! Captain Mama, you are the greatest officer ever! Mother: Well, that's nice! Fuyuki: Hey, Mama... is it true that something happened in this room? Mother: Oh, what nonsense are you talking about? I got this house cheap from a friend! Fuyuki: Aha, ahahaha, of course! Mother: (SMUSH) So... Where did you hear that...? Fuyuki: N-Natsumi...? Mother: Okay... well, I'm going to work... Fuyuki, you help Kero-chan get set up! Fuyuki: O-okay! - Page 63 - Door: Slam... Fuyuki: Well, Mama says it's okay, so we might as well use it! POSITIVE THINKING! Keroro: Ribbit! I will get to have my very own room! Fuyuki-dono! I wish you to lend me the Kero Ball! Fuyuki: Huh?! Keroro: It has my personal belongings stored in it... Fuyuki: ...you didn't do any harm with it before (chapter 3), so, okay! Keroro: I am in your debt! I can do the rest myself! Fuyuki: Okay... just call me if you need any help! Keroro: RIBBIT! Roger! *SLAM* - Page 64 - Keroro: RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT! WHAT AN UNEXPECTED WINDFALL!! You Pokopenians are so foolish, to give an enemy such a position!! If I could use this to create a front line base... oh yes! I will not use this for harm. I promised Fuyuki-dono! RIBBIT! Now I will use this to create my own ideal office space! Yes... like pulling a giant dumbbell out of an anthole... (?) SFX: sobbing and wailing - Page 65 - Fuyuki: Sergeant's room... I guess that could be interesting! Natsumi: OWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Mother: You just let your little mouth run a little too far. Don't you ever think about "family tranquility", Natsumi? Natsumi: I... I'M SORRY!! Mother: Okay? There are some things you don't need to know to have a peaceful family! Don't ever say anything about that room again! Natsumi: Yes, Mama! Fuyuki: Ahahaha... Natsumi: But Mama, aren't you worried that it likes that room so much? Mother: Oh, I love Kero-chan! Earthling curses and whatnot have nothing to do with aliens, right? We're using the space effectively by putting him there! ...and besides, there's no such thing as ghosts! (ahahahahaha) Natsumi: Stop scaring me, Mama! - Page 66 - Fuyuki: Oh... oh no! Sergeant's in big trouble!! SERGEANT!! OPEN UP, SERGEANT!! THIS ROOM IS TOO DANGEROUS!! YOU HAVE TO ESCA... ...it's not opening... I can hear... something weird. SERGEANT!! Open up! SERGEANT!!! Mama! Sergeant's locked up in there! He won't answer when I call for him! Natsumi: Maybe he... Mother: No... - Page 67 - Mother: I didn't think it was actually true... Natsumi: Huh?! {What's she about to start explaining?!} Mother: Years and years ago, this location was a prison for holding criminals... Natsumi: A-are you serious? Mother: One time they locked up an innocent young girl... her cell was in this exact spot... Maybe the spirit of her wrath still lives in this room... Natsumi: How could something that unbelievable be in our house...? Fuyuki: I'm the president of the Occult Club and I didn't even notice... (if it was a snake it would have bit me) Mother: At any rate, I'm worried! We have to make sure...! Natsumi: He's right, it won't open! Mother: We'll all push at the same time! READY, SET... GOOOOOOOO!!! Fuyuki: It opened!! SERGEANT?!! - Page 68 - Fuyuki: W... what the heck...? - Page 69 - Keroro: Well, what a surprise! Welcome, everyone... I was just taking a little break! Fuyuki: Sergeant... your room... Keroro: Ribbit! The theme is, "Turning a Small, Cramped Area into a Luxurious, Spacious Room"! Fuyuki: An iMac...! Keroro: It is green, of course. This is the age of the Internet and e-mail! Natsumi: Utada Hikaru... Keroro: I love Hikki! 16 years old, yet such talent! Mother: What an audio set-up... Keroro: An audiophile really needs a component system. Minidiscs are nice and all, but the player is most important, right?! Natsumi + Fuyuki: Wait a minute, where did you get all this stuff?! You didn't stea... Keroro: I used the Kero Ball! With the right information and data, I was able to transform all the junk and dust! Of course, this is just NORMAL on my planet!! RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT! - Page 70 - Mother: Ahaha... I was thinking that it would be a scene out of some sci-fi film. (I'm a little bummed) Fuyuki: You're so lucky, Sergeant!! This is such a nice room!! I'm really jealous! Keroro: What do you think, Natsumi-dono? Natsumi: WHAT? WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME?! FINE FINE I ADMIT IT I'M JEALOUS!! THERE ARE YOU HAPPY? ARE YOU HAPPY? Fuyuki: There she goes again. Oh, and that mark disappeared! Keroro: ? Whatever do you mean? You're not going to make yourselves at home?
