Ugh! I lost to Jeritza again! How can I beat him?!
link Mercedes volume_up
Hmm, let's see...
link Mercedes volume_up
What if you made all the cats in the base like you? Yes, I think that's a wonderful idea.
link Caspar volume_up
Ack! Don't pop up outta nowhere and scare me like that, Mercedes! It's not nice!
link Caspar volume_up
And wait, cats? Liking me? What?
link Mercedes volume_up
Jeritza has adored cats ever since he was little.
link Mercedes volume_up
But now they always flee when he approaches. Perhaps it's because he's so much bigger?
link Mercedes volume_up
In any case, if he saw cats being affectionate with you, I'm sure he would acknowledge his defeat.
link Caspar volume_up
Again, not the kind of win I'm aiming for here.
link Caspar volume_up
Look, it's simple—I wanna fight the guy head-on and beat him. That's it.
link Mercedes volume_up
But head-on isn't the only way to fight, correct?
link Mercedes volume_up
I mean, surely that isn't your strategy on an actual battlefield.
link Caspar volume_up
Wish it could be, but yeah that's probably not the smartest idea in the world.
link Caspar volume_up
But since this isn't a battlefield, it's up to me how I wanna fight the guy!
link Mercedes volume_up
Yet I feel that going up against him would be the same as being on a battlefield.
link Mercedes volume_up
You are companions who fight for the same cause. Why would you hurt one another to decide the outcome of the day?
link Mercedes volume_up
Wouldn't it be nicer to compete by baking treats or being loved by cats?
link Caspar volume_up
I mean, I get what you're saying—which is weird.
link Mercedes volume_up
Then how about we spend today surveying cats and continue our baking lessons this evening?
link Caspar volume_up
I didn't say I agreed! I just said I got what you were saying and that it was weird.
link Caspar volume_up
How'd she trick me into baking again—and what am I gonna do with all these things?
link Caspar volume_up
Huh? Where'd Mercedes go?
link Caspar volume_up
Ah, it's Professor Jeritza! Maybe I can challenge him again...
link Caspar volume_up
Wait a minute, those are the treats I made!
link Jeritza volume_up
Mmm. Utterly delicious.
link Jeritza volume_up
He made these? Mm. I am defeated.
link Caspar volume_up
WAIT, WHAT?!
link Caspar volume_up
I can't believe Professor Jeritza just admitted defeat so casually.
link Caspar volume_up
This is great! But also very frustrating. But also great? I'm so conflicted!
link Caspar volume_up
No! I wanna beat him head-on! Graaaagh!
