Shuuko took a battle chip off the shelf and started to clean it as per her boss' instructions. "Make sure everything is spotless, huh," Higure had told her several minutes before he left for the day to make a special delivery.
"Higure-san really likes a clean shop, doesn't he?" Shuuko asked her small navi.
"Yes!" he said cheerfully. "Clean, clean!"
Shuuko smiled and took another chip off the shelf and began to polish it carefully. "Higure-san said to make sure everything was spotless," she said quietly. She stood on tiptoe and put the chip back on the shelf, but when she brought her hand down she knocked another chip to the floor.
"Ah," she said and picked it up. She stood on tip toe once again and put it back but this time she knocked three chips off the shelf. When she bent down to pick them up she slammed her head into the lowest shelf knocking over all the chips on that shelf. "Oh no," she said softly.
"Shuuko, are you all right?" Aquaman's childish voice reached her ears.
"I'm fine," she said as she stood up rubbing her head. "Well, let's clean it up," she said with a misty grin.
"Yay!" Aquaman cheered inside his PET. "Clean, clean!" he chanted.
Shuuko giggled and little and walked around, picking up the battle chips and putting them back on the shelves. "Clean, clean!" Aquaman continued to say in a sing song voice until Shuuko joined in.
"Clean, clean, clean!" they cheered together and after about twenty minutes all the chips were clean and put on the shelves in their right order.
"Clean?" Aquaman asked.
Shuuko looked around the shop, "Well, Higure-san said he wanted the shop spotless, maybe we should clean the floor too."
"Clean!" Aquaman cheered again.
"Right!" Shuuko agreed and she got a mop and bucket and started to mop the floor.
"Clean, clean!" Aquaman giggled.
Shuuko continued to clean the floor until she stepped on a sud and slipped. She fell on her bottom and the handle of the mop fell on her head.
Aquaman giggled, "Shuuko is clean!" he cheered.
Shuuko laughed along with her navi. "Right, I'm clean!" she said.
"Shuuko can get up?" Aquaman asked.
Shuuko stood up and brushed off her sopping pants. "I'm up, let's finish this."
"Yay!" Aquaman said. "Shuuko can make everything clean!"
"Yeup," Shuuko said as she continued to clean the floor.
By the end of the day Shuuko had cleaned the floor, the chips, the display case and anything else she and Aquaman could think of. At about eight Higure came back into his shop and found Shuuko asleep behind the counter with her PET cradled in her hands.
"Clean!" Aquaman cheered.
Higure looked around and saw that is was indeed very clean. "Right," he said. "Clean."
"Shuuko is clean too," Aquaman said with a giggle. "Everything is clean."
Higure smiled at his young employee, "Yes it is," he said and walked over to Shuuko, shaking her awake.
"Ah!" she exclaimed while waking up.
"You can go home now," Higure said quietly.
"Higure-san, I…" Shuuko looked around. "Ah, thank you," she said and took off her apron and left the shop.
Numberman laughed inside of his PET. "She takes things so literally."
"Spotless is an expression," Higure sighed, "Ah well, it certainly is spotless."
"Clean," Numberman said wisely. "It's clean."
