> "Oh Ponga. You absolutely slay me!"
> Chuckle.
> Head back outside.
>You comment on how funny Ponga is, and when he hears that, he chirps a few times before dashing under your hat to claim his favorite perch. On your head.
>You chuckle a bit when he manages that without knocking your hat off.
>with Ponga safely in tow, you head back out to the courtyard where you see everyone gathered and waiting.
"Are we ready to go~?">"How far are we going to the... thingy, nya?"
>Gather food in fact of long trips.
>You ask how long the trip will be, and Ran suddenly rattles off a long chain of calculations and mathematics that makes your head hurt quite a bit. When she notices that she's completely lost you, in addition to having given you a headache, she cuts it short and sums it up.
"....Which is to say, it's a decent trip, but no farther than anywhere else. Mayohiga is one of the closer places to Hakugyuoukurou.">You would, but Ran looks like she's carrying half the kitchen on her back! She's not even breaking a sweat either, she must be really strong!
!Missed that!
>Still be looking for the bucket...
>"But.... Mother, we can't leave Chen like this... can you image what will she do left here alone? We can't take her either... I don't want to be the only child, when she would wonder off and turn into a ghost! *weep*"
>We are free to use water!
>Should we go in the Classy Suit? Seems like for me.. we could go as well into coffin, with that suit... I really don't think our protagonist want to be a ghost soon...
>Groan
>"Chen-sama... act more ladylike. It's not nice to be saying bloop fishy. I don't even have a fish!"
>super cute comedy gold
So, Parser, I'd assume you had a bitta trouble writing this one specific part?
>You've kept an eye out for a bucket, but you haven't seen one.
>It's been a crazy start, so you have a little breakdown. And inexplicably, Chen ambles over and...Slaps you across the face?!
"Blorp, grumbush alf fnord! Garbleep. Gehfrizz!" She looks determined, yet concerned.
"In other words, pull yourself together-nya! Us cats are supposed to be cheerful~!" Seems she's trying to snap you out of it.
>Hey, she's talking normally again! That was getting silly. Thankfully your hat didn't get knocked off, Ponga must be holding it in place.
>Of course, you're stunned by this turn of events.
>Yukari of course, is chuckling to herself, while Ran stares on in utter confusion.
"But that...it...how..what." "Just go with it Ran, it's what the humans in the outside call a 'Get A Hold Of Yourself Man'."
