Chapter 8: Double the Liveliness

*tap tap*

MC: Huh, oh… Morning

Alexander: Hey, is there no stopping you from eating all the food I just made?

MC: What’s wrong?

Alexander: Oh, it’s you. Listen to me. Dirty Mother keeps stealing all the food I made for breakfast, so we have a problem. There are no boundaries with him and stealing food. He just stands around and eats.

Long Island Iced Tea: That’s what he always does, but maybe it’s because he doesn’t have Kamikaze or anyone to keep him company

MC: We don’t really have someone keeping watch, do we?

Dirty Mother: When I see fried omelets lined up one after another, I just reach out and grab without thinking.

Long Island Iced Tea: He was eating them almost like it was a never ending feast.

MC: Never ending feast… Don’t eat everyone’s share!

Dirty Mother: …Sorry, I thought he wanted me to eat them while they were still hot

Alexander: So you’re saying that you felt as if you believed I wanted you to eat all the omelets.

Dirty Mother: Yeah, that’s right.

Alexander: Now I’m curious. No matter how you look at it, if you would understand my feelings about these omelets –

MC: (The two of them seem to be a little airheaded, so if I don’t stop them they’d probably just keep at this conversation…) W-well, I’ll keep a lookout for Dirty Mother! I won’t let him steal food. But until then, Long, Alec, could you please hand me everyone’s share?

Long Island Iced Tea: Oh, that’s just like you. Alright, thanks for keeping an eye on Dirty Mother.

*tap tap*

MC: (Ahh, I’m glad I was able to save everyone’s omelet.)

Old Pal: The two of you are together again today. You sure do get along

MC: (Oh, its Old Pal and Caipirhina and Caipiroska….)

Old Pal: Yo! I give you some candy so I can get along with you just like you do with each other

Caipirinha: What’s this? Are you treating the two of us like children?

Caipiroska: Well, we look like children, so it can’t be helped! Oh! My brother loves sweets just like the candy you have!

Caipirinha: …if it can’t be helped, then I’ll take some.

Old Pal: I have a lot! Caipiroska, would you like some too?

Caipiroska: Ah, sorry. I’m not so good with sweets, so I’ll pass on them.

Old Pal: Really? Well then how’s this? Spicy Pepper candy!

Caipiroska: It’s a candy, but it’s spicy?

Old Pal: Really spicy! I start crying once it touches my lips

Capiroska: Wow, can I try?

Old Pal: Of course!

MC: Ahaha (They’re getting along so well)

Old Pal: Huh? Oh hey! When did you get here?

MC: Just a while ago.

Old Pal: You should have said something earlier! Would you like some candy too? Sweet strawberry and Spicy pepper! Which would you like?

MC: I’ll take the strawberry.

*woof woof*

*meow*

MC: They’re being really loud. I wonder what’s going on?

Old Pal: Let’s go have a look! Everyone, to the garden!

Caipirinha: Wha! Why do we have to… hey!

MC: Woah woah, let’s all go with no pushing

Salty Dog: Manju! Over here! Stop playing around and get over here!

Jack Rose: We had Caesar and the others here, but where did they run off to?

Caipiroska: Giving them a bath in the garden?

Salty Dog: Oh, good morning, everyone! Yeah, bath time starts now!

MC: It’s great weather for it

Old Pal: Wow, I heard about them before, but there’s so many! You probably don’t have enough hands to handle them all at once, right?

Jack Rose: Oh…. yeah, it’s impossible with just two people, so we just divide them into groups and wash.

MC: Right. Wait a sec, why are you washing them today?

Salty Dog: We haven’t had any time to give them a bath recently, but we were free since this morning.

Jack Rose: Yeah…so that’s why we decided to give them a bath on this nice day.

Old Pal: You seem a little tired! If you’re in trouble and need another pair of hands, let me know! If its hands you need, there’s plenty here! Am I right?

Caipirinha: ….huh? Why are you looking at us?

Old Pal: Of course, because we’ll be joining as a group. Don’t you think so?

MC: Huh? Me too!?

Old Pal: We’re the ‘taken a bite of the same candy’ friends!

MC: W-we ate the same candy, but even still what sort of friends…

Salty Dog: So you’ll help us!? That would be amazing! Yes! What do you think, Jack Rose?

Jack Rose: Ah, nice… but is it really okay with you?

Old Pal: We don’t mind at all. When you’re in trouble, we should help each other, don’cha think?

Caipirinha: If you’ve already said we don’t mind, then I guess this means we don’t have a choice then huh?

Caipiroska: Brother, the two of them are in trouble, so let’s help them out.

Caipirinha: …haa, the two of them and you, Caipiroska, you all better be grateful.

MC: I’ll help out too.

Caipirinha: Hey, Tororo! Don’t jump out with these bubbles all over you!

Caipiroska: Senbei, you’re such a good girl! We’re almost done, so just hold on a bit more.

Jack Rose: Aha, do you feel itchy anywhere?

Salty Dog: There we go, Manju. All that’s left is to rinse you off with some warm water and….wah!

Caipirinha: Oof

Caipiroska: B-brother, are you okay!?

MC: Ah, wait, Manju ran off!

Salty Dog: Wait! You can’t go inside the house like that! Ah, no! I said don’t go in there!

Old Pal: Ahahaha! All those soap bubbles are getting everywhere!

Caipirinha: Hey, this isn’t funny…!

Caipiroska: Um, there’s soap all over the garden.

Jack Rose: Ah… this could be bad. Emerald Mist and Gimlet might get angry if we leave it like this.

MC: E-Emerald Mist and Gimlet… That’s serious!

Salty Dog: Ah! Manju ran inside the house!

Old Pal: Leave this to us for now. Let’s go, Salty Dog.

MC: I wonder… if they’ll be okay?
