I knew I had to make this chapter as soon as I saw Ino in the goddamn trailer.

"So this is the Hi-Ether that you told us about…?" Noah said, witnessing the big glowing yellow ball in front of him.

"Correct! Ino feel joy!" Ino danced.

"How do we collect these? Can we use the same cylinders from before?" Lanz asked.

"No! Ino declare that Lanz is wrong!"

"Then what do we use? It's no use if we can't actually collect the ether." Taion shrugged.

"That's why Ino have this!" Ino pulled out a different cylinder from somewhere.

"Where did she keep it anyway?" Eunie said.

"Mechanical business…." Sena slightly laughed.

"What's that?"

"Ether cylinder, but better! Now, Masterpon Noah!"

"Huh?"

"Try to collect the ether!" Ino said, handing Noah the tool.

"Why me?"

"Because you are Ino's masterpon!" Ino said with joy.

"That's it?"

"Ino speak simple languages!"

"I do understand…." Noah nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it. Like…this?" Noah said while his head was facing Ino. He put his hand forward, just like when he collected normal ether. The Hi-Ether soon got absorbed into the canister, gradually filling it.

"Ooh… This thing…feels….quite heavier than the normal one…" Noah said after the canister was completely filled.

"Yes! Want to know why?" Ino said with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, is there something different in the Hi-Ether?" Taion added.

"Hi-Ether has immense energy inside it, so we need special liquid to make it actually storable! So that's why the cylinder's heavier!"

"I see… But…now that it's all filled… What do we do now?" Noah said, silently gazing at the glowing yellow liquid.

"Hey, Sena…" Eunie poked.

"Huh?"

"Doesn't that…thing… Remind you of something?"

"Remind me of what?"

"Look at it longer and you'll see what I mean."

"Look at it longer? What do you…. Ooh…" Sena covered her mouth, in order to show her surprise and hold in her laughter which almost came blasting out of her.

"You know what I'm sayin', girl?"

"Yeah… Ab-so-lutely…." Sena said, giggling.

"Masterpon! Give that cylinder to Ino!" Ino requested. Noah himself didn't know what to do with the cylinder, so he followed Ino's orders. Ino received the yellow cylinders with anticipation, and gazed the cylinders with glowing eyes.

"Then… Thanks for the drink!" Ino exclaimed, as she started to drink the fluid in several gulps.

"WHAAAAT?!" The party all screamed in unison, as the mech girl savored the taste of the fluid.

"Uh…Ino…? Is it okay to drink it…? Is it safe…?" Noah said, sweat dripping from his head.

"Hmmm? Yes! Of course! Hi-Ether is Ino's favorite drink!" Ino said, with a big smile on her face.

"Sena... Aren't things getting weirder and weirder…?" Eunie whispered.

"I don't know what to say…." Sena said.

"….Hey, doesn't that ether fluid look like piss?" Lanz blurted out.

"He said it loud!"

"He said it loud!" Eunie and Sena screamed internally.

"Yes? What's that?" Ino asked with an innocent face.

"She doesn't know because she is a machine!"

"She doesn't know because she is a machine!" Eunie and Sena screamed internally again.

"Well, since friends are having some misunderstandings… Ino will show how Ino uses this Hi-Ether! First, Ino drinks the Hi-Ether fluid! Second, Ino extract the Hi-Ether from the fluid inside her stomach! Third, Ino channels the Hi-Ether into her heart to use it as great source of energy! And finally, Ino take care of residue fluid!"

"Take care of residue fluid? How?" Taion asked.

"Three different ways! First, Ino circulates it through her body, and second Ino lets them out like this if there is too much water!" Ino said as she emitted steam from her head.

"And third?" Eunie interrupted.

"Third is like this!" Ino cheerfully said, as the liquid started to trickle out between her legs.

"….!" The party stood in silence.

"And like that, Ino can maintain balance! For additional information, Ino can extract water from the atmosphere! Like…." Ino tried to continue her little lecture, but Eunie couldn't stop herself.

"So… Now we have a pissing robot?"

"Looks like…. So….?" Sena nodded.

"Should've brought Valdi for this, I need some explanation…." Taion facepalmed.

"Hey, Riku, do you have any idea of how that robot works?" Lanz asked.

"Unfortunately, Riku don't. Riku is Levnis expert, no android expert." Riku shook his head.

"Speaking of androids. Ino is no 'robot' or 'android'! Ino is an artificial blade!"

"…So…do blades naturally grow somewhere we don't know?" Lanz shrugged.

"No! Ino is blade!"

"So we swing you around like a sword?" Sena said.

"Nonono! Ino IS blade!"

"Okay, so let me make it simple. We met a strange robot girl who calls herself an 'artificial blade' and pees." Eunie said.

Everybody nodded.

"Gah… Friends are having misunderstanding! Ino need h… Oh! Sunny!" Ino said, waving at some Nopon walking towards her.

"Yeah, the weather sure is sunny." Lanz nodded.

"No, friend Sunny! Look!" Ino said, pointing at a yellow Nopon.

"Meh meh, always good to meet you, friend Ino, champion of the Nopon." Sunny said.

"Yes! Of course! And Sunny have to help Ino!"

"Help? What help?"

"Friends here have to understand who Ino is! They keep having misunderstanding!" Ino claimed.

"Oh… That? Then Sunny can help, Sunny know exactly who Ino is." Sunny nodded.

"But before that…." Sunny stopped, taking out a handkerchief.

"Ino need to wipe herself. Ino wet all over the place." Sunny said, as he started to wipe Ino's legs.

"So she was a sparking pissing robot…" Eunie said with her mouth agape.

"Half right, half wrong," Sunny said as he focused on cleaning Ino.

"Half right?! No! All wrong! Friend Sunny is also having misunderstanding!" Ino shouted, as she got cleaned by the Nopon.

"Easy, friend Ino. If you move, Sunny cannot clean you."

"What the spark are we witnessing here….?" Taion whispered to Eunie.

"…" Eunie stood silent.

"Eunie, wake up, you birdbrain." Lanz said, hitting Eunie's back.

"Oh! Yeah, right."

"So you need what?" Valdi said, facing the Ouroboros.

"A study on this girl right here?" Taion said, putting a hand on Ino's shoulder.

"Hmmmm… She does look peculiar…. And interesting!" Valdi's eyes started to glow.

"Friend's eyes are scary…." Ino murmured.

"Hehe, don't worry! I'm sure we'll have a fun time!" Valdi giggled.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll like studying her. She has a lot of bizarre functions." Eunie said.

"Really? That makes me even more excited!"

"Ah….eh…. Masterpon….?" Ino turned to Noah.

"Uh…sorry, Ino, but Valdi doesn't bite. Don't worry."

"That doesn't make Ino feel better…..!"

Ino and the sparking Hi-Ether literally DESERVES to be a part of a piss joke.

Oh, and since Ino's color is kinda Christmas-y...

This chapter is considered a Christmas chapter.

Merry Christmas! I'm now off for a Christmas trip!
