A new month in this zoo, at the mercy of a pack of hyenas. And still no Ryuuji. Let me state how enthusiastic I am about the prospect.

Shiki, I think you should make me some more soup. In fact, I think that's the best idea I've heard in a long time. And I want to meet your maid now.

By the way-

Has anyone seen this girl?:

I haven't seen her. She probably just got lost looking for some stupid starfish.

[palmtoptaiga]

That idiot...

Where've you been?

[alwayspartfish]

It's not like it's not possible.

Why do you care?

[palmtoptaiga]

I never said it wasn't.

You're a potential menace to society, that's why.

[alwayspartfish]

... Wouldn't she find her way back by now, though? I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks.

So are you.

[palmtoptaiga]

Should we look for her? Not that I care, but-

Because I'm a girl?

[alwayspartfish]

I guess. She probably got herself into something stupid.

Yes.

[palmtoptaiga]

Undoubtedly.

And girls have cooties?

[alwayspartfish]

I can go look down by the beach.

No, girls are just annoying.

[palmtoptaiga]

I'll poke around in town.

So are silly little poodles.

[alwayspartfish]

We can meet by the fountain or something?

At least they don't lie about everything.

[palmtoptaiga]

Sure.

Are you calling me a liar?

[alwayspartfish]

I'll go out and look now, then.

Yes.

[palmtoptaiga]

...you may not have to.

I've never lied to you.

[alwayspartfish]

Why?

Yet.

[palmtoptaiga]

A couple people I've talked to seem to think she isn't here anymore.

So just because I'm a girl, I'm more likely to lie to you eventually?
