Overwhelming Cuteness/Our Most Honorable Robot Overlords

Noah

Poko

On Halloween, Japanese children dress up in garbage bags covered with stickers, and families bake the traditional '銀パイ,’ metal pies to be left as offerings,
accompanied by jars of 'ozeki' one-cup sake, for the benevolent robot overlords (ロボさま) in residence at the local shrine. It's a bit lost in translation, but Halloween never the less. Beau baked this pie.

I am still staying at the house of my friends, Beau and Chikako. As such, I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the overwhelming cuteness with which I am confronted on a daily basis, in the form of Noah and Poko. Also, a metal pie.
