A snippet from the translation of Taiji's book.

Things like this would happen. We were in Hokkaido for a tour.

I was sleeping in the hotel, and in the middle of the night around 2 or 3 AM, I woke up because I could hear an almost yakuza-like fight going on downstairs. It got so loud that I got up, and when I went to see what was going on, I saw that someone was arguing with the people at the front desk in the lobby.

It was a dead-drunk hide.

I remember that it hide was shouting with a feeling of "Bastards! I'll kill you!"

This went on till hide finally held up his fists.

I thought hide was going to punch them, and then he thrust his index finger and middle finger outwards and stuck them up the nostrils of the two front desk people.

The only thing I could do was think in shock, "What the hell?" and almost died laughing. Wasn't he thinking about punching them, and then right when he was on the verge to do so, didn't he change his mind and stick his fingers up their noses instead?

Even doing this, deciding in a split second to stick his fingers up their noses, is harder than just punching someone. The people at the front desk did nothing but plead, "Please stop! Please stop!" Finally, I was able to restrain hide, and he took his fingers out of their noses and it was over, but even now I have no idea what caused this scene to happen.


... I have no words for the level of amazing this reaches.
