Thank you. For being my family, even for a short while.

[Outside near the forest under the unforgiving summer sun, Django is tinkering with his motorcycle, journal nearby but closed to filter out the noise]

Alright, that should do it...

[He turns it on and revs it, but it sputters and starts to smoke at the engine. He quickly turns it off, then opens the journal.]

Anyone... happen to have a solar powered engine they can spare...?

[That's so noisy!]

Solar powered what?

[heliotroping]

An engine. For powering a machine.

[mom_to_us_all]

Oh!

That noisy thing in the background?

[heliotroping]

Yeah. It takes solar energy and converts it to energy the machine can use.

[mom_to_us_all]

What kind of machine is it?

[heliotroping]

It's a motorcycle! Er... [mamaterasu probably doesn't know what that is] It's like a horse that never tires.

[mom_to_us_all]

[A pause...]

Really?! That sounds amazing!

[heliotroping]

It is! ...Well, was...

[mom_to_us_all]

Can't you wish for the missing piece?

[heliotroping]

Well... [he doesn't want to get wish retribution again ever] It would be better for the planet if I just got an existing one, right?

[mom_to_us_all]

[Oh right! The wishing thing...]

Better for the planet?

[heliotroping]

Yeah. If you leave junk lying around, it pollutes the environment and takes up space where plants would grow.

[mom_to_us_all]

That'd be bad. Can't you build it from scratch somehow?

[heliotroping]

Well I don't understand how the technology works, and I don't know the magic it needs...

[mom_to_us_all]

Arf... [She lets out some kind of grunt, that's harder than she thought :(]

I'm clueless about that stuff too... I bet there must be someone around here that could help you.

[heliotroping]

...Well... There is somewhere here who builds robots.

[mom_to_us_all]

[... A bit of a pause... She won't ask what's that! ;; She's so clueless...]

[mom_to_us_all]

You know their name?

[heliotroping]

Yeah, he was my nephew for the last week!

[mom_to_us_all]

Oh! I hope he's able to help you :3 Let me know when you fix it! We could race a little...

[heliotroping]

Are you sure you'll be able to keep up? My bike is faster than a horse.

[mom_to_us_all]

Of course! I'm faster than a horse. Ask Kazegami!

[heliotroping]

I'll take your word for it.
