Medical hopped down, giving an excited squeak, and gave Cat Slime a
playful nudge. She then began proudly squeaking about how they were
brother and sister, and how Bowyetta had created them both, along with
several other slimes. Of course, she didn’t forget to mention Kitterah
and her pet Aggie.

“Mr. Sir?” Bowyetta asked, a concerned look
on her face. “You are being okay? You are having left much suddenly…
Everything is alright, isn’t it?”

“Well, now that we’re all back
together, why do we show you three what all we brought?” Susumu asked,
picking up one of the boxes. “We’ve got sandwiches, a cake, drinks,
Bowyetta even made coleslaw! Hey, it’s a big day, ya know? I know, your
first meeting with the girls wasn’t all that glamorous, but maybe we can
make up for that, eh?”

Unfortunately for Medical, Marie did not understand Slime. She stood there, bemused, watching the slime squeak away.

The Repairman smiled, shrugging with one hand.

“Eh, I’ll…I’ll be fine,” he said. Hopefully he wouldn’t be replaced anytime soon…

His worries were put aside when Susumu reminded them all it was a lunch gathering.

“Hey, thanks! Heh, you didn’t have to do all this…”

Cat Slime had fewer reservations than his owner, and dashed over to the box enthusiastically hopping up and down. Marie, however, stood still, stunned that this was all happening on her first day.

“…I mean, are you sure it’s okay?” she asked.
