Laziji	Wh-- what are you doing here!!! Where's Eight-Treasure Rice!! Tell him to hand over my tweety-ball!!!
Longxi Cured Ham	Tweety-ball?
Laziji	That roly-poly, puffy-fluffy, bird-brained little ball of feathers!
Longxi Cured Ham	I haven't seen any roly-poly, bird-brained balls of feathers. But I have seen a tall, skinny bird with feathers for brains.
Laziji	Where? ......Why you!!! You little...
Longxi Cured Ham	My little what~
Spicy Duck Blood Soup	Teacher! I seem to have heard the boss-man's voice!
Bingfen	...I seem to have heard it too just now. Go!
Laziji	Uh-oh! They've caught up to me!!! I'll get you back for this next time!!! See ya!
Longxi Cured Ham watched with a cocked head as Laziji rushed off into the distance. Shortly after, Bingfen and Spicy Duck Blood Soup came rushing in from the other direction.
Spicy Duck Blood Soup	Ah! The Nether World woman! Aack -- Teacher, I was wrong, I was wrong!!!
After abandoning Spicy Duck Blood Soup to be chased around everywhere by Darcy, Bingfen flashed an apologetic smile at Longxi Cured Ham and made a praying gesture to her with his hands.
Bingfen	My apologies. Please show leniency. May the Great Recaller forgive me.
Longxi Cured Ham	Heh, you Capital folks are nothing if not amusing~
Bingfen	Many thanks, O Great One, for your praise. Might I ask, has the Great One seen the master of the Capital?
Longxi Cured Ham	That bird-brain! He just ran off in that direction.
Bingfen looked in the direction Longxi Cured Ham was pointing and called back Darcy from chasing Spicy Duck Blood Soup.
Bingfen	Spicy Duck Blood Soup, let's go.
Spicy Duck Blood Soup	I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken. I should never have even come into this world. I am the most useless person in the world...
Bingfen looked at Spicy Duck Blood Soup, who had been reduced to a sniveling ball by Darcy, and rubbed his temples in embarrassment. Then he picked Spicy Duck Blood Soup up by the back of the neck, nodded in apology to Longxi Cured Ham, and rushed off, leaving Longxi Cured Ham there rubbing her lantern and laughing eerily.
Longxi Cured Ham	No matter how many times I see it, watching that Darcy in action is always so delightful... Next time I'll ask Bingfen for some juice from Darcy to give to Eight-Treasure Rice, Ginseng and the rest to play around with...
