[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-(e)ng] English manor chasing a flying 虫 insect. Suddenly the lights go out, and Yoshi sees that the 虫 insect has a glowing halo around it, because it is a 螢 firefly. Yoshi uses his extending tongue to catch the glowing 螢 firefly, and eats it. Now his stomach glows slightly.
