What are they eating?

Dried sardines...

They said there are a lot of dried sardines on the island. They're inviting me to join them.

They said there are some strange looking cats causing trouble around here recently. And that the cat population is dwindling too.

They told me a lot but... Really, I just want to play with my favorite toy.

They look like they have something to say. The others said something about strange looking cats. Could these be them?

They are demanding my toy...

This is my treasure. No way I'm giving it up to you!

They took my toy! I have to get it back!

Those nasty cats went that way! I follow them and get it back!

Give me back my toy!

Doesn't look like they want to give it up... I won't just walk away from this! I'm gonna fight with all I've got!

There's...just no way... There has to be another way!

They won by sheer numbers... I can't defeat them like this... Let's see if the island cats will help.

They took my most precious object...

Nothing else in the world can replace it!

But they just said they wanted it...

I was robbed by a bunch of weird looking cats!

They said they want to help me in this terrible time!

They want to come with me to fight against them.

I couldn't have asked for a better response!

They think those nasty cats might have something to do with the other missing cats. They want to confirm their suspicions with me.

Our interests are aligned it seems! Well, it's time to head into the den of those nasty cats!

???

The results are still inconclusive... We need more test subjects for this...

Ahhh... This is quite amazing. This blade shines like a polished mirror... Its beauty takes my breath away.

Do you not agree?

Hahaha... This could cut through flesh and bone with just a slight flick of the wrist. Ahh... It give me the chills! It gives me such pleasure that I cannot hold back anymore. If we do not have enough test subjects, then we will need to catch more.

Well well... What do we have here? You all are nothing by undisciplined kittens wandering in here without the master's permission.

Or perhaps you just got lost while playing in the sand outside? I would forgive you if that were the case.

Well then, I hope you do not mind if I get ready. As you see, I am the strongest of my master's students. He had such a generous spirit. He would not wish anything against our guests.

So I ask... Do you have some business with us? I am more than happy to serve you with the utmost hospitality.

Or perhaps you are saying that you would like to help our experiment... You are of course welcome to help. Is that all?

What is wrong? Little black kitty. Are you saying there is something going on?

Ah I see... You are the black kitty that was playing on the beach with my precious Churros No. 2.

I understand it now... You are not here to assist in our experiment. I must prepare something even better for you all. We shall meet again later. Farewell for now, cute little kitty.

What the heck! I didn't get my toy back! I'll follow that cat and get it back for sure!

It doesn't look like there's any way to open these up and save them. They must be trapped by that cat that has my toy. I've got to catch it!

Bad cats bothering Lord Syrup!

If you're nice, you'll get something nice...

Join the Petit Parfait army!

Those suspicious eyes... It's so cute when you do that...

I can't lose now! It's on!

???

Well, this blade is enough to take care of this... We may have other test subjects, but this is the real experiment.

Ahh... It is a fearsome power! This is a beautiful plan that only one as smart as I could devise.

Hahaha... Your cries are music to my ears. Do you too wish to see it? The bodies submerged in chemicals... The bodies dissolving into nothingness...

Ah... So you have arrived! You came faster than I expected. Could you wait just a bit longer? I was just about to initiate the chemical...

Return my toy to me!

???

......

Hmm...? What do you mean? Little black kitty... Are you not the kind kitty who returned my previous treasure to me?

That toy is my treasure!

???

What?! And here I thought you were the kind prince who helped me get back Churros No. 2... Instead it was you villainous kidnappers that tried to tear us apart!

This changes everything. You...are now intruders from outside. I wished to offer you tea and sweets, but I can no longer share a table with you.

Instead of tea time...let's take this opportunity to sharpen our claws. My name is Syrup, leader of the Parfait Squad which carries on the legacy of our master!

Syrup

You foolishly tried to steal my treasure, you bandits... Now it is time for you to be shattered before me!

Syrup

Urgh!

How... How could I lose! No... Meow... Meooww... Meeeeowww... Meow...

Chu... Churros No. 2 was...my treasure that I got from our master before he died... I was careless and lost Churros No. 1, and so our master gave me another... But I lost...

D-Do not look, bandit! These tears are... *sniffle*... Meow... For master...

Huh? R-Really? You are going to give it to me?!

A-Am I dreaming?! My most beloved Churros No. 2! I cannot believe that this is happening!

You have my thanks, little black kitty! You have shown me such merciful kindness! I am sorry for calling you names. There is not an unkind hair on your body... You are a proud and noble feline.

If that toy brings you happiness... Then that is enough for me.

Syrup

Chu... Churros No. 2?!

Wh-What is this shaking? Could it be that Whip Cream woke up when Churros No. 2 fell in there?!

Darn it! The key?!

Without that key they will be trapped inside that machine!

We've got to do something!

Syrup

Calm down! I can see that you are angry.

I understand you are upset... I have lost my precious Churros No. 2 again and cannot keep myself together! However, now is not the time for us to be fighting amongst ourselves!

Little black kitty. Please listen... In the level below there is a terrible monster that will not listen to reason. Churros No. 2 will be trapped there and may become corrupted by that place.

Of course, Sir Black Kitty! If we do not save her, then no one else will! We have to go! We can defeat that brutish monster together!

Of course. I'll save Churros No. 2 and get back that key!

Syrup

Grrr! Looks like Whip Cream did wake up.

Look at those! The key and Churros No. 2 are hanging from its neck! That might be why Whip Cream is getting more violent... I have never seen such rage.

This fight is for my most precious treasure... No matter how angry it is, no matter how big it is, I will not give up!

Syrup

I knew you were a brave and proud knight.

Let us go save the things we love!

Now's our chance!

Syrup

It's over!

Well done! How about the key and Churros No. 2?!

Wh-What is this?!

Churros No. 1?!

There is no mistaking it! It is Churros No. 1! It was hanging from that monster's neck this whole time! Welcome back! You are still but a lovely rose, unchanged by time.

My precious Churros No. 1...

......

Our brave black kitty... Could I ask you for some advice?

Would it bother you if I entrusted Churros No. 1 to you?

We both love the same thing and have fought side by side. This will be proof of our friendship. Please take care of it for me with all your heart.

You were give Churros No. 1!

Syrup

Ah! I had nearly forgotten...

Where did the guest room key go?

Huh? You are asking what I mean by guest room? A prison cell you say?

A mad science experiment? You want me to return your friends? Hmmm... What are you saying?

I never considered your friends to be test subjects. They are enjoying themselves like kings in their locked guest rooms.

What is this? I am a liar and I wanted to cut them with a blade and melt them in chemicals?

No, wait... You do not think that... I would never put anything like myself through such a hellish experiment!

It looks like I cannot convince you with my words. In that case, I will show you what I was working on.

This experiment is about deciding our destiny... Let your body melt and crumble! Steel-like dried sardines!

Well, let us see the results. Is the dried sardines soft enough to eat?

Oh... It's gone...

The chemicals are too strong and the dried sardines completely melted away... We cannot eat it like this! In that case, we must slice it carefully! If we cut it just the right way, then we should be able to chew it.

Let your body be turned to bits and crumble! Steel-like dried sardines!

Argh! The fish bits are to small and are stuck in the fan blades! How sad... Another failure!

Just as you see, the subject of my experiments are the dried sardines.

For so long we have eaten nothing but liquid food... However, when we fell down here, the machine that made our that food was broken... If we are not able to eat the food of this planet...specifically, the dried sardines... we will not survive.

While observing how you all eat and chew, I was performing experiments. Just like I showed you.

How am I going to save everyone on this ship?!

Whip Cream

Grgrgrgrr...

Syrup

Hmm?! What is that?!

P-Powdered dried sardines! Could it be that Whip Cream can crush the dried sardines into powder?! In this state even we can eat those!

This is great news, everyone! Our food problem has been solved!

Hmm? The key is also here!

With this we can release the others!

After all this, the liquid food I served before was clearly unsatisfactory... Food has to be chewy to be sufficient, right? We did not have enough bite strength to eat properly. If all you eat is dried sardines, surely your jaws are going to grow stronger.

Huh?! There are many other soft foods on this planet?!

Meow... Mee...ow...

Meow did you say?!

We are sorry for all the trouble. We are going to search for soft foods other than the powdered dried sardines around the world.

And if you ever feel up to it, you are welcome to join us. There are many things we could help each other with.

Would anyone be interested in joining my Parfait Squad? First you would start off as a trainee in my Petit Parfait Squad... But you are just too adorable!
