{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|}} | {{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Here comes Ganglie dressed up as an Edo period detective. In his home world, they say he was once an elite navy officer. Nowadays, he's just some pig napping and dreaming in the temples of Asakusa. According to the head priest, one should not lie in their dreams of indulgent lust and heretical driftings, so Ganglie goes out even now with a harrumphing "does it look like I care?" He talks at length about his dreams of having a huge harem, and the days go by as the number of yeses to his invitations remain a big fat zero. Ganglie has always been careful of deep love to the point that he seems to be avoiding it. Sometimes has flashes to the day he lost his wife, which is why he acts aloof and indulges himself as a flirty playboy. All that, and now he's decided to give things a serious go one last time. If you look at him from the side as he asks for a Christmas date, you'll see a momentary peek of clearness from him in there somewhere. Ganglie has a certain special connection with his guildmaster Sanzou in Asakusa.}} | ||
