We are running out of time and your coronation ceremony starts in three hours.

Coriander
You know... I was thinking about the security again...
So many young kings and queens were assassinated during their coronation ceremony. It has become part of my family's history.
And now, in a couple of hours, we will receive thousands of guests from all over the world and I'll be at the center of attention. I'm really, really afraid!
Pepper
Don't worry, Coriander. We'll follow our plan. Shichimi and I will be your bodyguards, remember?
Shichimi
Exactly. You should just take a break and think about something else for now.
Coriander
OK.
Hey! Why don't I show you my latest invention?
Tailor
...
Coriander
It's downstairs in my workshop. Follow me.
Coriander
You'll soon understand why I wanted to build this new one.
It has to do with my worries about the coronation.
Let me introduce you to my new invention...

Coriander
So, what do you think? Do you want to try it?
Pepper
Bah. No need. I don't have any psychological issues.
Sound
BZZZ!
Pepper
HEY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR ROBOT?!
Coriander
Sorry! It still has this bug that I can't solve. It gives off an electric shock as soon as it detects a lie.
Pepper
A lie?!
But I've never told a lie in my entire LIFE!
Sound
BZZZ!
Pepper
THAT'S... NOT... FUNNY!!!
Shichimi
Funny? No, of course not! Sorry.
Coriander
He he! True! Not funny at all!
Sound
BZZZ!
Pepper
Ha... Ha... Ha.
Coriander
OH NO! My robe for the ceremony is ruined! My tailor will be furious!
Bad robot! I'll fix your bug, permanently!
Pepper
WAIT!!!
Pepper
I have an idea on how we could use this bug.
Sound
Ting!
