After a lovely dinner at home with friends and family and a snooze in a bed that wasn't made of straw and stone for once, Zhen Liu and his compatriots were all set to return to Dozing Salamander and continue on their journey.
However, they weren't just heading back by themselves.
"Are you guys sure you don't need Tiny and Mini to help around the estate? I'm pretty sure you guys are going to need them for some of the heavy lifting around here," Zhen Liu asked as he watched some of the Zhen Clan servants adjust some saddlebags onto the aforementioned Raijin Hippos' backs.
"Yes, we're sure," Daria assured her son. "Your kaijin have provided us plenty of muscle in the form of giant spiders. Although, they have caused some people to pass out from fright."
"Yeah...sorry about that."
"Eh, don't be," Daria waved her hand in dismissal. "The spider silk alone is reason enough to let these guys stick around."
"Meow."
