[So far so good? It looks like the threat is over, so she puts the sword away, tucking it back in and straightening her skirts. Only when she's finished does she stand upright to answer.
So he met America. Vietnam's unsure whether that would be a good or bad thing, but at least it makes things easier.]
Yes, I am. Just like America, only I represent Vietnam. You were a friend of his?
His kneejerk reaction is to deny that. After all, friendship is hard for the wild tsundere in his natural habitat. But...America is gone now. And it seems disrespectful, in a way, to deny it even after he's gone.
After a brief pause, he crosses his arms.]
...Yes. He told me a little bit about personifications like you.
[ahaha...ha....yeah, friendship is magic. Especially in their case. Seriously.]
...Thank you.
[Probably. It's weird to be this complimented, he thinks.]
Regardless, I believe I understand the basics of your situation as a country. [And kind of wishes he could meet Japan, but that's the part of Sousei that is ALL I NEED IS MY COUNTRY okay....]
[The type of magic some people don't want when it comes to America. Help.]
You're welcome.
[SHE MEANS IT THOUGH thank you for giving America a hard word now and then.]
Yes, we are much simpler than many would assume as well, so other than our situation, just consider us as you would any other human. [She'll take care of him on behalf of Japan!! IF ONLY THOUGH, JAPAN, LOOK AT YOUR CUTE BABY HERE.]
[...well, yes, that's also true. He nods quite firmly at that.]
Yes, naturally. That is why the people must be protected properly as well as the country. Both must be given the opportunity to grow and improve, to further nurture the people living there.
[Look, he's 100% a soldier; protecting civilians and his country are his purpose for existing.]
[...Ah, she can relate to that, as all countries serve in the army at least for a part of their lives. DAMMIT, he got her.]
That much is true...and I am definitely thankful for those who think like you, yes. But as long as you allow us to protect you too. The world needs good people like you.
You are Japan's citizen, no? He is lucky to have you.
[Truly countries and soldiers were meant to be--but he blinks at that, a little overwhelmed. America had said something similar, really, but...even so, it's more of a compliment than he would ever ask for.
"He is lucky to have you", but as far as Sousei is concerned, he's the lucky one, to be able to have a country to protect and serve.]
... All I need is to be able to protect my country. [but... even so, it's not a bad thing to hear. Even if he is extremely awkward as he glances away, almost sheepish at the praise.] That is enough for me.
[Definitely, if they could brofist, that is what should happen. And if America would think the same, then it's definite that Sousei is a model citizen not just of Japan, but of the world.
She shakes her head, but she gives him his moment. If he insists on giving her respect for being a country, then she is certain that he loves his own very much. Hearing this from an actual walking and talking source, well--]
Exactly why Japan is so lucky. Your humility reminds me of him.
[...Ah. Well. If he can remind Vietnam of his country, that's another compliment for sure. He's really not going to be able to handle these compliments if they keep happening.... stop that.
He can't take this, okay.]
...Regardless. [Dismissing the compliment would be rude, but he can't easily accept it either, okay.] I cannot do my proper duty here, but I haven't forgotten it.
[He'll return and defend his country properly...someday........]
Until then, I would prefer to properly honor the other countries here. [though there...seem to be fewer of them nowadays.....and he didn't exactly honor america....]
[She can't stop being honest, it just happens that compliments and honesty are going hand in hand right now. Sorry not sorry, Sousei.]
In a way, you indirectly are protecting your country. That is, aside from certain secrets hidden from us. [If it is true, that they are survivors sent to find a way to protect their worlds, then yes, Sousei is protecting Japan that way. If they are kidnapped for other reasons, well...]
Ah, well, I am indeed touched. As we at least share the same continent, I will do my best for you too. [She'll get him to treat her normally slooowly. And honestly, she talks smack about America all the time, she wouldn't blame Sousei at all.]
...Yes. I find it difficult to trust any promises that I have not yet seen the evidence of for myself, but... for now, I will continue to do my best as well.
[As for Vietnam doing her best for him...he blinks, tilting his head slightly.]
That--isn't necessary. I am honored, but there is no need for that.

You are the physical embodiment of a country, like America was--is that correct?

I see, that makes it a little easier. Ah, I mean, in us understanding each other.
I am glad to have met a friend of his, especially one so honourable and levelheaded.
