Sanji Meow held the Summon Ticket aloft for over ten seconds, but still nothing happened.
"Where is our new companion? I don't seem to see anyone, meow?"
Taking part in a summoning for the first time, Meow Jūshirō thought it was already complete. He turned his head this way and that and asked in confusion.
At last, Sanji Meow moved. He lowered his raised paw, stared hard at the Summon Ticket in it, and complained indignantly, "Why can't I do it, meow? Does that idiot Xie Wen have to do the summoning?!"

"Then remember to wish for a beautiful older-sister Palico when you summon, meow!" Sanji Meow looked up at Xie Wen hopefully.
"Yes, yes, I know..." Xie Wen rolled his eyes and "repeated," "Summon a beautiful older-sister Palico who hates little yellow cats, right?"
"I never said 'hates little yellow cats,' meow!"

Meow Jūshirō had intended to step forward and mediate as usual, but he suddenly remembered what Xie Wen had done to him not long ago. The upright samurai cat promptly lowered his head and pretended not to see.
After tussling with Xie Wen for a while, Sanji Meow stopped of his own accord... summoning their new companion was more important,
