Chapter 7 – Heading Towards West

At Tokyo Bay, a huge crowd is gathered at a special day. Godzilla is leaving for the Eurpean Continent to meet with Queen Victoria for important talks. Godzilla and Mothra are escorted by some members of the military from England. Anguirus is left at the castle to look after Tokyo with Rodan and King Caesar helping him. Godzilla and Mothra are inside the ship as it departs.

Mothra = "You still nervous?"

Godzilla = "A little…"

Mothra = "Don't worry about it, I'll be helping you."

Godzilla = "You remember what this meeting is about?"

Mothra = "Of course, Queen Victoria is requesting to join the Erementaru Council meetings along with other representatives of different states. Then, there's the matter of sending our representatives to schools to bring to our country."

Godzilla = "It's important to have interactions with the European; hopefully we both will flourish in the future."

Mothra = "True…"

Mothra stares at the ocean.

Mothra = "Do you recalled the time? During the Shogunate era, the European ships attacked the nations to force the countries to open trade with them. It worked with the Tokugawa Shougonate, but that gave way for King Ghidorah to take the throne."

Godzilla = "The European nation was under a different leadership at that time. Queen Victoria tried to talk her family out of that situation which fell to deaf ears. In their rush to open trade, they allowed King Ghidorah an opportunity to seize the power."

Mothra = "Yeah… Hopefully, things will be better with new leaders, such as the Queen and you."

Godzilla = "I'm not exactly a perfect leader… You know more about be a leader, which is why I need you."

Mothra blushed and smiled.

After hours of sailing, the boat made it to the European Continent. A huge gather of people has come to see the Shogun of the two seas. The guards are preparing the events and to ensure safety of its people and their guest. Godzilla and Mothra are at the window viewing the scene.

Mothra = "This place is amazing!"

Godzilla = "We will be heading out, don't lose anything."

Godzilla and Mothra headed outside of the boat and they were greeted by thousands of onlookers. Godzilla is wearing his traditional formal kimono that allows his tail to move freely while Mothra is wearing a special Kimono that features auspicious designs with her Obi a deeper color. They won admirers throughout the European Continent. They headed inside the carriage that will carry them to the palace.

After a long ride, Godzilla and Mothra made it to the palace and they are greeted by Queen Victoria herself. She is wearing a light blue dress with amazing diamond jewelry.

Queen Victoria = "Godzilla, Mothra, it is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Mothra = "The pleasure is ours; we thank you for the invitation."

Queen Victoria = "It is the least we can do; I hope we can create a bright future with this relation."

Godzilla = "Of course, we are eager to begin."

Godzilla and Mothra are taken to a room to spend a few nights in the palace while the Queen makes a few adjustments to the dinner and guests. The first day begins with tea and a discussion before the dinner night.

Mothra = "This tea is so good; black tea is hard to come by."

Queen Victoria = "I glad you like it."

Godzilla is eating some sweets and likes each one.

Mothra = "Godzilla, do you like the sweets?"

Godzilla = "Yeah, they're good."

Queen Victoria = "I am glad to hear it."

After the tea, they moved onto the negotiations.

Godzilla = "The Erementaru Council doesn't mind the Europeans to join the meetings. After all, we are eager to move towards the future."

Queen Victoria = "I am glad that we can move forward with ease, a few officials are mine are worried about it."

Mothra = "There should be no worries as long as we agree on something."

Queen Victoria = "I agree."

They continue the discussion.

In the afternoon, Godzilla and Mothra are now on tour of English. Godzilla wears his usually kimono as Mothra changed into western fashion to which everyone adores. Godzilla, Mothra, and Queen Victora are now at the Big Ben. As the clock struck a certain hour, the bell was loud for anyone to hear.

Mothra = "What an amazing bell tower."

Queen Victoria = "It sure was, it was constructed years ago and it is now the oldest clock we have."

Godzilla = "We don't have clock tower, but we do have these types of bells at the Buddhist Temple."

Mothra = "There the same when it comes to resonating with the soul."

Next, they went to a fancy restaurant serving different dishes. Mothra got the salad while Godzilla tried their fish dish.

Mothra = "This is so good."

Godzilla = "Sure is."

Queen Victoria = "This restaurant has opened for a long time so it has a long history."

After the meal, Mothra and Godzilla went back to their rooms for the next day.

In the morning of the second day, Godzilla and Mothra are back at the meeting room with the representatives of other states. The time of dinner came and each guest seat in their seats accordingly. Godzilla and Mothra sat down together next to the queen. Once the food has been placed onto the table, the queen made an announcement.

Queen Victoria = "Let this be a first step towards a brighter tomorrow. Godzilla, Mothra, we thank you for this opportunity and I hope we continue to unify for the entire world."

Mothra = "It is our pleasure, your Majesty. Let us work together to rebuild what is lost and build the bridge for us to connect."

With that, everyone begins to eat dinner. Everything went well and Mothra and Godzilla went to the rooms.

On the final day, Mothra and Godzilla are ready to leave the continent, but they decided to do one last thing before they depart. Mothra and Godzilla visited a school and met some of the children. They children never saw Kaijus before so they were fascinated to see Mothra and Godzilla. They did some small activates before they left.

Back on the boat, Mothra and Godzilla are given a warm send off. As the boat sailed back to Tokyo, Mothra and Godzilla are on deck watching the waves. Both of them are happy with the results that they achieve.

Godzilla = "That was a nerve wreaking experience of my life."

Mothra = "Why? You were fine."

Godzilla = "Being surrounded by reporters is a first for me."

Mothra = "Is that so… This meeting is the very first since King Ghidorah, so breaking news for them and not everyone was there to witness history in a making."

Godzilla = "I know… We are going to be making a lot of history after this."

Mothra = "And I am looking for to it... with you…"

As the waves continue to be hear, Mothra placed her hand onto Godzilla's hand.

Japanology:

Obi is a sash worn by woman in their Kimonos. These sashes are design as well to fit the Kimono for any season and occasions. The Obi is also tie to various kinds of knots to fit the day. When it comes to the Geisha, the Maiko wear a longer Obi while the Geiko wear a shorter Obi. (Yes, there is a list of difference between Maiko and Geiko; it depends on age and experience.)

Big Ben is not a person, but a famous Clock Tower. I don't know the history, but it's tall and loud.
