Best friends doing best friend things, in a creak, the most wholesome nature place ever formed.
Zhi, with the huge roll, styling on Lu and getting one over her. Fluffy boy does things he is not supposed to.
Also, Mo is a troublesome, impossible girl, putting Zhi on the spot like this. Why do we even keep her around /s
But I think Zhi should light a fire in the contestants bellies, because they already know he's a complete nerd and softie from last time. Now's the time to treat them as potential peers, and boast of his masterwork, challenging them to reach his level less he lord his superiority over them forever. Right now they may only be fit to lick his boots, but one day, they may rise, and become as awesome as him!
Ta Riou is, as always, very amusing, and with Zhi proving that someone in her relative ballpark can charmcraft a mutation, it opens option for herself without needing to pick up weird techniques.
