April 3, Wednesday. Light rain.
At Goldenrod Airport, Young Master Mao stood beneath an umbrella by the entrance, saying goodbye to Janine.
Under Gary's onslaught of ever-changing delicacies, Janine's chin had grown visibly rounder.
"Young Master Mao~ I'm gonna miss you~" The adorably clueless ninja's eyes brimmed with tears. Her little bun-like cheeks puffed out, her plump chin quivered, and reluctance filled her face.
"Well~ We'll have chances to meet again." Young Master Mao gave her a gentle push with his right hand, and the revolving security gate shut Janine inside.
