With the game over, the penalties were handed out. "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" Mion said bitterly. "Extremely, yes," Keiichi answered with a grin. He was laying on the ground in the shade of a tree, reading the issue of Shōnen Jump Mion had been reading the day before. "I cannot wait for next weeks Dragon Ball." Keiichi exclaimed.
"Don't spoil it for me!" Mion shouted. "I didn't read it yet."
Unlike Keiichi, Mion was not having fun. Her punishment game was to wear the costume that she had gotten for Keiichi. It was a baby costume, complete with a dipper, bib, bonnet, and a pink binky. Because the costume did not have a top, Mion kept her's own. Keiichi had protested this.
"If I had lost, you'd make me take my top off."
"Shut up, you perv!" Mion had yelled as she punched him.
"I get the part about putting the crates back," Mion began as she resumed pushing a crate back into the pile. "But why do I have to be wearing this while I do it?"
"I thought it would be a waste not to use it since you bought it for me to wear if I lost the game," Keiichi replied.
"Speaking of which, why don't you have the binky in your mouth?"
"Because I can't..." Mion began before she realized why Keiichi asked. "You just want me to be quiet, don't you?" To that, Keiichi ignored Mion and resumed reading the manga.
While Mion got back to moving the crates, her other teammates were hanging around. Like Mion, they were forced to wear costumes for losing. However, they were too young to be able to help Mion move the crates. This did not stop the winners from giving them other jobs. Satoko was serving them cold water, while wearing a classic western maid outfit. "Where did you get this?" Satoko asked, the annoyance of having to wear it was obvious in her voice.
"I got it from Dr. Irie," said Rena, who was sitting under the shade watching Mion work and trying to control her urge to start taking her classmates that she thought looked cute in their costumes home. Keiichi was disturbed that the doctor would have something like that and in Satoko's size too.
"When Rena saw Dr. Irie getting it in the mail, Rena knew she had to take it home with her."
The conversation continued on until Mion had finished putting all the crates away. By the time she finished, the sun was starting to set. Everyone started to head to their homes. Shion met up with Kasai, her watcher from her family. She had asked him to look into the clinic for anything that would explain the sudden changes there.
"Did you find out anything?" Shion asked immediately. There was a brief pause before Kasai answered. "I'm afraid not," he began. "It does look as though the clinic is expanding."
"Expanding?" Shion inquired.
"Yes," Kasai confirmed. "There was a shipment of new equipment to the clinic. But I don't know what equipment they received."
"I see. Thank you, Kasai," Shion said with some disappointment. She had hoped for an answer, but instead she was given more questions.
