It’s time for the Doll Festival, and Emperor Maru takes his place on the royal throne. But who will be his empress? Hana and Kitten Miri don’t seem to want the job.

It’s very windy in Maru’s backyard, so he steps outside to marvel at Nature’s fury. Hana and Kitten Miri, on the other hand, just think it blows.

He’ll be stuck in a honey tree next, Andrew Y.
