In swedish, sorry. Filmed at the swedish convention Uppcon, fall 2007.

My girlfriend cosplaying Raito got hold of a childrens book about a baker named Bengtsson. It came in a happy meal and Raito seems to be trying to hide the fact he’s reading it. X’D He’s having the note in front! Oo *laughs* There is not much, but I thought it was fun. Sorry for the bad sound. My camera sucks. -.-
